DELICACY IN PUBLIC OFFICE. Senator Bailey is credited with the thought that a United, States Senator should resign when he finds himself in a position where delicacy required him to remain away from his duties in Con gress, delicacy of course being the care ful and gentle expression to stand for a - Senator who has been found derelict in some public or "private trust To the majority of people the asso ciation of delicacy with any one holding such a position as United States Sena tor, must appear ridiculous. But it has been lately demonstrated that while some Senators have through . force of public opinion been compelled to rt hnquish fat jobs in corporations, yet the aforesaid delicacy has not caused them to give up their official positions, or release a dollar of salary, which they were paid for services presumed to be rendered to their constituents. , There is necessity for an open and unhesitating expression on the part of , the public towards the conduct of every man in public office, who has been elected by popular vote, or otherwise secures a position of public trust, be it in the active administration of affairs or not, for public position demands ac knowledgement in work on the part of those in office. . The fact that men in public office, j and this is not confined to the United States Senate, or the House of Repre sentatives, are found guilty of offenses outside of their offices, ought to raise the question and doubt as to the hon esty of their conduct in their official trusts, and in most instances it is likely to prove true that in some manner or degree will men who are dishonest out side of the official positions they may occupy, are likely to prove , derelict in their positions of trust, and where deli cacy may be found in such offenders there should be a public opinion ex pressed which would cause their retire ment from office or any position of pub lic trust. TEMPERANCE EVERY WAY PROFIT ABLE. Temperate living- has long been preached from the pulpit, and declared by the moralist writer for the personal physical benefit, and the individual profit as it might keep those so inclined from harmful dissipation. ; -; - But in this age, while the educational movement for temperate living is more strongly proclaimed and advocated, yet there are outside influences which declare the commercial and financial value for those of temperate habits, which are as Important factors in help ing the cause of temperance, as those which urge temperance on purely physi cal grounds. " .. A notable instance in this financial value of temperance, is seen in the action of a Swiss life insurance com pany which offers a premium to those of temperate habits, the members of a temperance society of railroad employes ! .. '-r charged four per cent less pre i i.him, than employes who were not i Lers of the organization. A Swiss '' .' (it insurance company is also : total abstainers a reduction of I r c-tit in rates, and beginning ; .;, this refaction is to be in- ! i . n per cent 1 I it 1; been e ri:t :;! ) ! iwn v fraternal organizations, where the members are taxed for each death. As each year passes, education show- ng the value of temperance will prove of great value to the coming race, and. as the money value of temperance is better known and appreciated, there will be moi e demands, that men and women must be temperate in order to secure profitable positions, to say noth ing of the value which temperance works for human progress and the up building and advancement of mankind. A TEAR OF C0LL0SAL THINGS, The year just closing has been one of collosal things throughout the worid. The great Russian-Japanese war was ended, and following it, Russia has been and continues to .be the scene of a gigantic revolution. But looking backward over the affairs of this country, with its peaceful seenes and plenteous harvests, with labor at good prices for those who work, and good prices for those who raised. crops, or-manufactured goods, there review is . ...... .... . . , v . an' immense one. ;.';;-vv,;-;;'.S'.-j ' Aarriculture has been the foundation of our national prosperity, me attend ant of good prices for good crops. Har vest after harvest has seen jthe products from the soil go into consumptive use at prices which in the aggregate are Stupendous. , Some idea in the way of realization of what the earth has brought to the farmer, maybe gained from the. figures, that the value oi che farm products of 1905, exceed those . 1904, by $1,300,000,000. With such an aggregate increase of wealth from the ground, it is not sur prising that the people of this country hive been extravagant in many way 3 that in diamonds alone, the importa tions were $36,000,000, and in Wal! Street over $1,000,000,000, of important corporation bond issues were brought out and sold. The payments of dividend and inter est accounts, while they are to be dis tributed tomorrow, in the New Year of 1906, yet they were gained and made possible by the prosperous conditions of 1905. This dividend and interest pay ment to be distributed is a large amount, $141,153,000, an increase over Januaty 1905 of $4,500,000. In the material and industrial growth the figures are .equally tremendous Every town and city shows increase. Buildings have been erected by the thousands, and manufacturing plants by hundreds. One of the best situa- tions as to the country in general, is that no wild speculation has developed from the prosperous times. It is to be hoped that with the promised continua tion of good times, that there will be no general speculation during 1906, for with it must follow evil for all classes in the country, with demoralization in all trade and manufacturing interests.

Gigantic Dry Dock Off For Philippines Annapolis, Md., Dec. 28 The gigan tic dry dock Dewey made an auspicious start this afternoon on its 14,000 mile trip to the Philippine Islands, under the direction of Commander H H Hosley, United States navy.
