A MISUSED WORD.
What is populism anyway? A
few weeks ago a New York paper
denounced Governor Hughes' direct
nomination bill as "a flower of the
populisUc fancy." Speaker Cannon,
aurii the attempt to revise the
House rules referred scathingly to
that movment as populistlc. A
Southern Democrat, the other day,
bitterly assailed William Jennings
Bryan as a populist for his belief in
Government ownership of railways.
Do these uses of the word show pre
cisely what populism is? Not at
at all.
Populism, whatever it is, or is
not, has been abroad in the land
for a long time. Railroad rate reg
ulation was populistlc, insurance
legislation was populistlc, and the
Income tax law was a very bad case
of It indeed.
Whenever, in the name of profits,
three or four gentlemen with bank
accounts like lllrlfrlllln linllnnna nn,l
faces like asphalt pavements gather
together over frugal eighty-seven
dollar dinners to protect against
popular legislation, the word popu
lism has a very busy evening.
We think wo have the secret at
last. Populism is not a political be
lief, nor a religion, nor a disease,
nor a breakfast food. It is an
epithet.
In tho progress of the country to
ward a broader and deeper democ
racy, men will propose laws for
direct nominations, for initiative and
referendum, for recall, for control
and ownership of public utilities.
If these proposals Interfere with
your happiness or your plans, and
argument is distasteful to your re
fined nature, you need not despair.
You can call these schemes populis
tlc. There is always a chance that
somewhere with some doddering,
simple soul, that will pass as argument.
The Supreme Court having, It is
announced, declared the two-cent a
mile bill unconstitutional, is is
qute certain that the railroads af
fected will return to the old-time
tariff. That is hard for the traveler
but it makes the railroad people
chuckle.
ANOTHER STEP AHEAD.
A discovery which will bring great
satisfaction to the timid who fear
to be put in a condition they lose
consciousness is reported in a tele
gram to the State Department at
Washington by the consul general
at Bucharest, Roumanla. This is
an anaesthetic, a combination of
strychnine and storaln, discovered
1. n..Hnnn nf Tlllntinrnet O rwl mm !
the a icaUon of which the patient balance of ?748.50 on hand Re
does not lose mental consciousness. I cevcI from J. J. Canivan, dog tax,
It is injected in the spine for opera-
tions below the waist and in the
neck for operations above. Dr.
Bannyryall, the consul general re
ports, has taken some of anaesthetic
to London.
WAR ON THE CIGARETTE
The legislature of the state of I
Washington has just passed an act
making It a misdemeanor for any
person to smoke, have in his posses
sion or offer for sale cigarettes in
the state. The act provides for the
arrest of any person who uses cigar
ettes and the police authorities are
Instructed to enforce the law .on all
persons within the confines of the
state, whether they be citizens or
visitors. This means that visitors
to the Alaska-Yukon-Paciflc exposi
tion will be prohibited from Indulg
ing in the brain-wrecking cigarettes,
which will serve to make the exposi
tion a more pleasant place to visit
than it would have otherwise been.
Why does a state legislature enact
a law of this kind? Not because it
desires to prevent any person enjoy
ing the pleasures of the life. Not
because the legislature wishes to re
strain the people in their liberties.
Not because there is a desire to op- i
press anybody. The act was passed j
in the interest of the young men i
nnd boys of the state whose mental
end physical health is endangered j
by the use of the cigarettes. Other
states will in time nnd it to the au-1 to extend from Mr. Dunnigan's

An Emergency Message That Failed of
Its Purpose.
At ihe last session of congress there
was very close division on an im
portant measure that was pendiug. A
western member was lighting tho bill
with all of tho vigor at his command,
and his success depended absolutely
mi liis presence at his post. A clever
member of the opposition devised a
scheme whereby the troublesome man
tould be lured away. Accordingly on
the morning of tho day the vote was
to bo taken a telegram was sent to the
hotel of the fighting member. It read:
"Come home at once. Your wife Is
dangerously 111." The congressman
glanced at it, read It carefully two or
three times and then started toward
the capitol. Tho perpetrator of the
scheme asked tho congressman what
the telegram contained. He' showed It
to him.
"What!" gasped the Inquirer, "and
In the face of that are you going to the
capitol?"
"I am," was the cool response.
"But don't you feel worried about
your wife?"
"Not In the least," was tho rep'y.
"Why?" asked the other
"Because," replied this flphtini; mem
ber, "I have no -.vl'p."

WORTH KNOWING.
It appears from two decisions late
ly made by the Superior Court of
this State that the owner of a horse
has still some rights with regard to
tho actions of other people tending
to frighten the same. In other
words, brass bands and automobiles,
under these decisions, have to be
handled with care.
In the brass band case, the Court
practically held that a brass band
had no right to take Its stand at tho
intersection of two streets, gather a
crowd around it and play with their
drums and horns in such a way as
to frighten the horse of a man driv
ing by at the time.
In the case of the automobiles, the
Court held that the operator o an
automobile had no right to discharge
from the same a volume of vapor
with a hissing sound and strong odor
in such a way as to frighten a horse
standing near by.
It looks as though the Court had
commenced to take cognizance of
these matters and to hold persons
occupying the streets and making
unusual noises frightening horses to
a strict accountability for their acts
and it would be wise for persons so
offending against the public to take
notice.
That was a brave lady who was
witnessing a baseball game and when
the bats were all broken took off her
wooden leg and handed it to her
favorite and told him to take It and
make a home run. When a female
rooter is that Intense, to be sure it
is the National Game and no mis
take. THE TOWN THAT
