Oh, certainly. "Let the Russians ba quiet, and "Let the sul tan pay his debts.'" These generalita tiona, are a great comfort to a states man out, of a Job, 0 '.

STATE OWNERSHIP SAMPLE. Here are some municipal ownership, or rather management, figures, which are instructive. In Bismarck, N. D, the State owned an electric car line. Under State management it did not pay, and it has just been leased for two years to private company, headed bv a Mr. Hughes "will run it upon a continuous service, thus shortening the present running time over one-half. The rental is understood to be but nomin al, as the State is glad to be rid of the octopus, the line having (been a heavy loser. It is estimated the lease will make a saving of nearly $4,000 a year to. the State. The Hughes com pany will also fnnush the light lor tne esritol building. It can do it much cheaper than the State can with its own plant." Again, from Alexandria, Va" dome word that after trial of many years with a municipal-owned plant, that city haa leased its electric works to a private corporation lor a jri at thirty years. The plant cost the dty $17,000. The lessee gets it for $3,500. These facts and figures apeak volumes. - .. . -o - J TO TEST THE MORALE. There are so many money-making schemes that come o near the line de nominated as "graft," without obviously it. that it would seem that O ' some other standard than mere condem tuition hv nublie opinion should be - adopted for testing the essential moral ity of such practices. The use of per sonal influence for a consideration, es pecially where that influence is insid iously employed by teachers to govern the eollege destination of young pupils, is one of the latest threats of evil. The president of a college offers a bo nus of $50 to school principals for each pupil whom'' they may induce to enter his institution, and in hi offer he states that one gentleman who took up with it influenced in the space of six weeks, some nine students to enter his college. Of course, the institution and its head are likely to get much free advertising from this "graft" scheme. But what about ilie doutiizg pr"nt4 wn flav taken teachers' advice as to the college destination of their sons and daughters! What; too, about the lowered status of all colleges of its class by. these prac tices of one? Perhaps the Cuban inmrcents who have not disbanded are waiting for an other cash distribution of $31,000,000 in fighting and Weeding for Cuba. The nature of the bleeding is manifest, ( In the legal investigation of trust and monopolies, a system of rebates is almost invariably uncovered. And yet giving rebates is a crime clearly defined by the laws of the country. 0 A man in New York who pulled one of his own teeth with a pair of pliers has died from tne effects of the opera tion.

Hearst The crimp will be duty affixed in November. . 0 On account of the heavy odds being offered on Hughes in New York, it is suggested that newspapers transfer the campaign news to their sporting pages. 0 Chicago is breaking away from Phil adelphia example: It is equipping banks with sleeping quarters, instead of sleeping quarter with banks. Sun's Heat Not Due to Radium y Lord KELVIN, One of the World's f.ritit IcIsntlMs T . WISH to romark that an isoliittxl oxporimontal discovery by Sir William IJiimsuy ami l'rofossor SovKly, brilliantly intor- csting as it is and solidly instnu'tivp ns it is toward tho theory of radium, susrgests notliinjr more toward any modification of tho ATOMIC DOCTRINE, proposed tomo 2,500 mn ago by Domocritus and universally adopted bv chemists and other plulotto pliisU in the nineteenth century, than does Sir William Jinuway' origi nal disoovery of helium as an emanation from the mineral elevite. The obvious conclusion from the two discoveries is that clovito am' radium both contain helium. I cannot refer Urns publicly to the dis cussions of radium m the British association meeting WITHOUT PJROTESTIKO against the hypothesis that tho heat of the sun, the earth or other bodies of Hie universe is duo to radium. I BELIEVE IT 19 MAINLY DUE TO GRAVITATION AND IE LI EVE THAT THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS ON WHICH THE RADIUM HYPOTHESIS HAS BEEN BUILT OIVI NO FOUNDATION UPON WHICH IT CAN,, REST, AMUSEMENTS. City Dusts Cause Drinking By Proffor C,J. HOWARD of the Technical School. Ctt? of Msalco II NTIL the time comes when streets and pavements and even fl II the facades of buildings may 'bo washed and flushed by rV water there is no chance of reducing the volume of DIS- EASE BREEDING DUST in the'air. There aro plenty of experts who advance arguments against tho flushing and washing of streets, but it will be one of the greatest helps toward tho reduction of INDIVIDUAL DRINKING that will be made in that direction. The mineral dusts of the citv in themselves aro not necessarily dangerous, nor do they do any great harm to the nasal organs, but where they are mixed with the more GENERATIVE VEGETA BLE DUSTS that come from tho animals of tho streets and from the tons and tons of fine powder of the interstices of building, added to tho mass of insect laden mixtures made by tho birds that ue the cornices, windows and chimneys for homes, they rnnho a mixture that, ! breathed into tho nose, stomach and lung, IS JUST LIKE TTLT MUCH POISON, and it is no wonder that men will seek a drink with alcohol in it without knowing why they should be doing so.

They can now feast on correct labels. o New York never could have become the Empire State by preferring its Hearsts to its Hughes. , 0 - The Democratic party feels worse off than Job since the Hearst eruption has fully developed. "HARK! FROM THE TOMB!" . i Senator and ex-Secretary of War Al ger, admits that when we took over Porto Eico, he was in favor" of includ ing Cuba, but President McKinley and some others in the cabinet did not agree with him, and it was not done. This is another proof of McKinley's long-beadedness. Mr. Alger now realizes that we "have -enough to do" without annexing Cuba, and the people say "Amen.' . 0- EXTREMES MEET. The Providence "Journal' thinks it would be logical for Cennany to tax learning, that is by putting a sort of high protective tariff on all foreign students who come to v,ermu um.c. It is the opinion of experts that Cuba will have to be renovated at least once in each decade. 0 London uses only one-fifth as much water as New York (exclusive of Wall street). . .' 0 . How will the rise in Cuban tobacco affect the price of" our cabbage crop? Cuban sugar is only a crop, not a na tional disposition. 0 Oyster Bay is again as quiet as a clam.

The waves that brought thcl:i o'er Still roil in the bny and llirow their aproy As they break hIoiir the aliore; Still roll In the bay as they rolled tlmt day When the Mayflower moored below, When tho sea urouud was black vll)i storms And white the shore with snow. The miKts that wrapped the pilgrim's sleep Still brood uppn- the tide, And bis rocks yet keep their watch by the deep To Htny Its waves of pride, But the snow white sail that he gnve to the gale When the heavens looked dark Is gone, As an angel's whig, through an opening cloud Is seen auu lLa Trttadrawa...... The pilgrim exllo sainted name! ' ', The hill whose icy brow Bejelced when he came In the'iuornlng'g flame In the morning's flame burns now, And tho moon's cold light as it lay that night On the hillside and the sea Still lies where" he laid his houseless bend But the pilgrim where is he? The pilgrim fathers are at rest. When summer's throned on high And the world's warm breast is In verdure dressed Go stand on the hill where they He. The earliest ray of the golden day On that Jiallowed spot Is cast, And the evening sun as he leaves the world Looks kindly on, that spot last. The pilgrim spirit has not fled; It wulks In noon's broad light, v And it watches the bed of the glorious dead With the holy stars by night; It watches the bed of the brave who have bled And shall guard this icebound shore Till the waves of the bay where the Mayflower lay Shall foam and freeze no more.

A cheap letter head or a poor bill head gives a mighty poor first impression and makes business harder to transact. Good printing costs no more than poor printing. Tho first im pression is half the battle 'in business. You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales man; why put up with "sloppy" station ery, thai; gives a wrong impression of tho importance of your business.
