Nothing Equal to 1t Ever Known In
This Country.
Elections In England have never been
wholly free from bribery and corruption.
Your bold Briton appreciates the ballot, but
is susceptible to influences that are now said
by Democratic Executive and Campaign
Committees to be potential among Demo-
Gratis in Indiana. In the last elec tion III En-
gland corruption and bribery were so extern
sively practiced by both Tories and Liberals
that Parliament authorized q commission to
inquire into the matter. Charges were spe-
citic against number OF constituencies.
Though the report of the Commission is yet
to be made twelve members of the House OF
Commons have been unseated, and more
probably will be-. while one or two Of the
constituencies are likely to be DISTINGUISHED.

M WE FAT TOO MUCH?

The London Lo7scct furnishes the London
S1ectntoT with text for an article on over
eating. It is admitted that the old-time vice

lIrhtened countries. "Our remote though
civilized ancestors, ~ instead of eating to live,
often used to live to eat They would swal-
low food for its own sake until they could

But while excessive eating Of the disgust

what the Spectator calls "a cnriously eau

do not eat more than they need. The last
named journal speaks out on the subject In
a more radical waB and without ally fear OF
conservative prejudices. It says:
I'VE believe that the extension OF wealth,
and the extreme public Ignorance upon the
subject tend to foster habit OF taking TOO
