THE TEST OF OFFICIAL FITNESS.
By Gov. Hughes of New York.
Every governmental scheme finds
Its ultimate test in the character of
the men who may be brought to its
execution. Men who in trade will
resort to dishonest methods and un-
fair practices In conifietltloii will at-
tempt to fatten themselves at t lie
expense of the public If they are
elected to office. Men who will prey
upon minority stockholders or abuse
the trusts that are committed to them
In our great financial enterprises will
prey iq>on the people If they have u
cha nee.
Whether powers of supervision and
regulation will lie wisely exercised
OOV. llLGlita.
depends, not upon the words of the
statute book, but upon the character of the supervisors
and regulators; and you must have a higher quality of
citizenship In those who administer the laws than In
those whose conduct makes the laws and their admlnis-
tratlon necessary.
Between the man who attempts to fool the people 111
order to get rich and the man who attempts to fool the
people In order to get office, between him who sc ks his
personal profit through an abuse of trust as a director
and the man who uses public office to serve himself or Ills
personal fr'endB, there Is nothing to choose.

WORLD OR WOMEN-WHICH WILL CHANGE?
By Ada May Krecker.
It does not seem unreasonable to expect
women in the long run to give to the big
world something of their own natures. It Is
only what they have done In the home. That
Is why the homes where they are queens are
thought refined nnd beautiful and why the big
outside world where they are slaves Is called
hard and eold. But even If women should
not do much to soften the big world, the nat
ural processes of evolution are nt work slowly and surely
relining it. Tbe cold, hard world to-day is not nearly
so cruel or uncomfortable or brutal as the choicest home
life of the savages.
If the western world seems a little untamed 111 com
parison with the oriental It Is because Its civilization is
so much newer. Less than two thousand years ago It
was chiefly savages; whereas over twenty thou
years ago the orientals were writing poetry and pli
ophy. Ur If America seems ruder than Europe 1
because we Insist upon civilizing everybody, hi Ell
they have been satisfied with a few "gentles." 'J
have called them the "quality." But in America
pay attention to "quantity," too. And If we cannot
them all out as gentlemen by the time they are
urallzed citizens, we at least find them easy to
tingulsli from new arrivals by their better behavior
better dress Whichever way we take It—whether
FRED J. FICK
world Is growing daintier of Its own accord, or whether
women publicly are helping to make It so—there Is good
reason to expect It to become as lit a place for a woman
as a parlor. And there Is little ground for fearing that
women will turn either Into men or rowdies because they
have left their zenanas.

WHERE DO WILD ANIMALS DIE ?
By Dr. Theodore Zell
Where do wild animals die? This questiot
has often been aRked, and ninny learned nat
uralists have tried to find satisfactory an
swer, but even at the present time compara
tively little is known that would throw a
clear light upon that subject. The question
is simple enough and easily answered in some
cases, but extremely difficult in other eases.
In u large number of cases tla* animals are
killed by other animals or by man and eaten. Of all
living creatures man is the most bloodthirsty, and more
animals fall victims to his greed, cruelty or appetite than
to the murderous instincts of carnivorous or other ani
mals.
Some have made the assertion that certain animals,
when they feel the approach of death, retire to some hid
ing place, a cave, a hollow tree, or some crevice In the
rocks, and there await the end. That may be true and
Is decidedly probable, but does not explain the fact that
only In rare oases are the remains of dead animals found
in such places. It has often been commented upon that
even in *he districts where monkeys are abundant dead
monkeys are scarcely ever found. Ancient writers like
Pliny speak with remarkable erudition of the age which
certain domestic and wild animals reach, but their writ
ings throw no light upon the question as to what be
comes of the animals after death. The number of car
casses and skeletons which are actually found is far too
small to give a satisfactory explanation of that puzzling
question which Is still waiting for its Oedipus.

AMERICAN CHARACTER CONTRADICTIONS.
By Dr. Felix Adler
We have no great leadership in (politics oi
in other fields. The average American intelll
gence Is high, but we have not the peaks that
tower above the average. No country needs
great leaders so much as a democracy, and In
no country have they appeared less than In
our democracy.
The false Idea of equality, I Imagine, has
something to do with it. It Is a curious fact,
Americans are the most Individualistic and the least In
dlvlduallstlc. Nowhere is Individualism so much encour
aged and nowhere so much discouraged.
The American air Is filled with the spirit of enterprise;
on the other band, he Is less Independent than tbe Eng
lishman. He would never assert his rights when he Is
ousted, as the Englishman; he Is afraid of being singular
when he steps out and resents that which others bear.
Democracy is unfavorable to Individualism in this re
spect.

DR. T. T. SHAW
A young woman who recently made
n trip to Euro|>e decided to consult the
captain of the ship as to the best pre
ventive for seasickness. Having armed
herself with a letter of Introduction to
the officer, she waited until the ship
had cleared Sandy Hook, ways a writer
In the Bohemian, and then approached
him. She described her fears, and beg
ged for a Bemedy.
“My dear lady," replied the captain,
with an amused smile, “you will not be
troubled with any Illness If you will do
what I tell you. .Most Indies confine
themselves to their staterooms, anil
thereby Incur tile very thing they fear.
Now If you will stay on deck, get nil
the fresh nlr you can, walk up and
down, take go<sl physical care of your
self, and try not to think of trouble,
you will never l>e seasick."
The lady thanked hint. She followed
the directions faithfully, and when the
ship rnn Into the tail end of a heavy
northwest gnle. she never felt a qualm.
She apfieiired regularly at meals, >m<i
snjoyed herself thoroughly.
As the gale was abating, she be
thought her that It was due the en p-
tain Hint she should thank him for
his good advice, and approaching the
deck steward, entrusted him with a
message asking for an Interview. In
due time the steward returned, saying
that the captain was unable to grant
her an Interview.
“Why not?” she questioned. "Why
won’t he see me?”
“Captain's compliments, miss." said
tbe stewnrd, “but he's suffering with n
bit of seasickness, which 'ns lasted
two A hj - b now, an' he ain’t In shai>e to
talk to you."

ALEXANDER BERKMAN.
EMMA GOLDMAN
The bomb-th rowing a flair at Union square, New York City, served again
to bring to public notice several of the niHistles of disorder, chaos and an-
archy. One of these Is Alexander Berkman and another Is Emma Gold-
man. Both of these worthies have caused the police a great deal of work
and annoyance mid are kept under surveillance most. If not all of. the time,
Berkman Is the editor of n publication known as Mother Earth, which Is
widely circulated among those of anarchistic sympathies. He is the man
who tried to kill Henry C. Frick, and he served a term In prison for his
crime
It is Mid Mr. Frick employs a detective to watch Iterkmmi COll-
stnntly for fear he will repeat the attempt at assassination. Berkman was
nrrested after the recent bomb throwing, but could not be connected with
that affair. Emma Goldman Is a lecturer on anarchy and Is associated with
Berkman In the publication of Mother Earth. The police never lose sight
of her and are vigilant tn policing any hall In which she Is to speak.
ed on a piece of Iron rod bo bent and
fastened to the lintel of the window In
the second story of the building that
any person on the second floor of the
building can. by looking Into the top
most piece of glass, see what Is going
on In the street below or who or what
may be passing up and down the
street without opening the window to
look out. The mirrors take the place
of bay windows.
The primary object In setting ttp a
busylsidy Is to see who Is at the front
door, or who may tie approaching from
either side of the building to the
door The topmost piece of glass 1*

doorstep. One piece of glass Is set
at ail angle to catch a reflection of all
that is going on at the right sl<le of
the street and another to reflect the
approach to the left.
In Philadelphia, where ninety-nine
out of every KM» honses are built out
to the sidewalk, and all houses are
built tn a line, busybodies become great
time savers for housekeepers. If un
desirable callers nene to the front door
the busybody gives timely notice of
their approach, and the person sought
need not be at home. By keeping an
eye on the busybody the woman at
her sewing can detect the caller th«
moment he conies within range of th«
mirrors, and plenty of time Is give»
for prinking.
The busybody Is useless on a hone«
