In SPEAKING of house cleaning,
which will soon be all the rage, Bob
Burdette in his characteristic way says:
Did you ever notice that when man
smites his thumb with the hammer
while putting down carpet under his
wife's supervision and criticism, how
quickly he thrusts the bruised and
throbbing member in his ready mouth?
People think it is because the applica-
ton is soothing. But no; it is an in
voluntary movement, same as winking
The man cannot help it. Nature
knows what the man would be apt to
say under the circumstances and so
has provided him with a stopper, and
has ordained that whenever he hits
his thumb hard enough to hurt-and
it does not take very much to nearly
kill man when he is doing something
he does not want TOBY sort OF in
terlocking system the thumb flies into,
his mouth and stops him up SO that he
can't say anything. Some men whom
you or know should be provided with
an extra thumb which they might carry
about in their hand all the time it
wasn't in active use. 1t would be a
great thing, wouldn't it?

ORGANIZE.

A good many of our State ex-
changes have been growing lately
because the different State Central
Committees have not paid the adj
vertising bills they contracted. The
papers should be used to this kind
of treatment by this time, for the
Central Committees have for yc,sss..-ss
past failed to square their just ac-
counts. They owe every paper in
the State, and the only way for the
newspaper men to do is to form an
association. This can be done none
too soon. We would advise that it
be done next month. In this way
the papers can hold the age and
demand their pay in advance, or
no work will be done. There is
never any doubt about the papers
doing the work that they contract
to do.
There is another thing it might
be good idea to do, and that is to
make a law compelling Central
Committee officers to furnish
bond, and at the end of each cam
paign furnish for publication a
statement showing the receipts and
disbursements of funds handled by
them.
They have begun to think that
the newspapers, which do about
four-fifths of the work in a cam
paign, are well enough paid with a
smile and a promise, and little
fattery about the good work they
do. Let's change the thing once,
for luck.

ARTHUR McEwEN, in his letter
to the Virginia Chronicle, says that
the great moral wave that has
been rolling over San Francisco,
wherein everybody is pretending to
try and assist in the reformation
of fallen women, is nothing but a
sham. Many of the leading peo-
pie, who are pillars of the church,
and faunt their modesty in the
most select society, are deriving
rents from these establishments,
and the tradespeople find that the
wages of shame is just as good to
come over their counters as any
other money. No paper dare pub
fish list of the landed proprie-
tors who own houses devoted to
immortality.
There are, no doubt, many peo-
pie interested in this new move for
reformation who are sincere in
their efforts to do good, but the
great majority of good people are
too good to be any good.
