Proper Sanitary Conditions Are Of Greatest

The last 80 years have witnessed a
wonderful improvement in the mnnu-
facture of good-sized, comfortable beds,

bench-like bett-stellen of southern Ger
many never disgraced the hotels of the
English-speaking nations. AS early as
1855 q French traveller acknowledged
the uniform excellence of the British

kets, and solid, enormous bedsteads."
The latter adjective really fitted the
fact. if it is true that the great bed of

with canopy like circus tent.
Bed curtains are not only entirely sl-
perfuous but positively ruinous to lung
patients, who are thus obliged to
breathe the same niicrobe-laden cir over
and over again; but broad, duplicate
mattresses come under the head Of "a

tutes. Hammocks on board ship are a
lesser evil, but on terra frma sleepers

superstition should be weged without

nounces it as the cause of virulent di-

paregoric outrage: Never try to over

duced by rocking and grading is akin
TO the drowsy torpor of a seasick pas
senger, and one might as well try TO be-

are beginning to assure us, that it is

bear out that assurance. The shrinkage
of the worlds wheat area, taken in con-
nection with the increase of population,
the increase i'll grazing area, and the
enormous and varied supply Of fruits

Mr.. Roosevelt says:

pencd to note his getting IL burglar one
week apparently he had fallen into
the habit. for he got another the next
week. III the latter Casr the burglar es-
capped from the hous" soon after rid
night and ran away toward Park ave-
nue, with the policeman in hot chase.
The New York Central railroad runs
under Park avenue. and there is a
succession Of openings i'll the top Of the
tunnel. Finding that .Ee policeman
was gaining on him, the bur:.lur took Il
desperate chance and leap.d down one
of these openings at the risk of break
ing his neck. Now the burglar was
running for his liberty. and it was the
Part of wisdom for him to imperil life
or limb. but TIE policeman was merely
doing his duty, and nobody could have
blamed him for not taking the jump.
However. he jumped, and in this par.
.icular case the hand of the Lord was
heavy upon the u%nrighteous. The bur
g!ar had the breath knocked cut of him,
and the cop didn't. When his victim
could walk, the officer trottcd him
around to the station house, and a week
aftcrward lie himself was promoted, it
that he was sober. trustworthy and
strictly attentive to his duty.
Here again it seems to me that we
followed the eminently common sense
plan CT promoting a maj who had earn
ed his promotion by faithful and dis.
tinguishcd service and by proved supe
rior capacity. We cared no more for
the p~Oliccman's views on the tariff or
the currency than we did for those of
the burglar. Our interest and the inter
est of citizens generally was to have the
officer catch that burglar and otherwise
do his duty. If he did his duty. we
were for him; if he did not, we were
against him. In neither event did we
care whether the officer had or had not
the backing of the congressional delega-
tion Of the city or the central committee
of the county. Of course. as b, fore. this
exposed us to wild outcries from the
local political bosses and heclers and
much sne,riIG at ''civil service REFORM
but all the outcrics and .nCcrs. meant
was that we were doing our duty as de-
cent men and as public officials, with
some slight appreciation of what was
implied by the words honor and up.
rightness. Political organizations are
eminently necessary and useful. but
when tho: are seized by professional
spoils politicians of low morality, who
run the machine in their own inter
ests. who clamor against honesty and
defy decency and rail against that de-
vice for obtaining clean government
which is known as civil service reform,
then it is time for all citizens who
believe in good citizenship to rise in re-
