PUBLIC BATHS.
United States Lays behind In This
Great RcfOrm.

Great RcfOru.
The foundation Of general cleanliness
is bodily cleanliness. Until Il human
being appreciates the latter he will
not insist on the former. Thus 1t Is
filthy streets and houses are tolerated
1t Is idle to expect, however, that peo-
pie will observe habits of bodily clean
illness unless the facilities are provided,
says Goodwin Brown, author of the
New York law for free public baths
TolstOi has observed TINT the great bar
rier which separates the rich and poor
is the luck Of bodily cleanliness, and
quotes approvingly the sentiment eX-
pressed by John Stuart Mill that there
can be no real civilization until people
are taught the value of bodily clcanli-
ness-that when this Is fully accom-
plished it will be possible, and only
possible. to make progress in other di-
rectiOns.
The United States is GO years be-
hind most other enlightened countries
in this great reform. In 1912 the first
public bath and Mushroom was erected
in England, and from that time to the
present great progress has bGan made
In the building of these most ing ortant
adjuncts Of modern civilization. Mil
lions have been expended in England
and continental Europe in the erection
of public lighthouses, while their Qum-
Der reaches into the hundreds. Even
the public schools in Germany are
largely equipped with bathing facili-
ties. Without actual verifcation of the
fact, | think 1t is safe to assert that
public lighthouses in the countries re-
ferred to are as common, If not more.
as the public libraries in this country
and generally as imposing in appear
ance, and might add from my own
standpoint, of far more utility-at least
the baths should have the first place.
1t Is melancholy to think that Rome
at the height of its glory had over 5000
public baths, while New York, with
over 100000 people. has only three.

Rice and Population.

In deciding whether China's popula-
ton is dense or sparse it ought to be re-
membcrcd that the country produces rice.
Countries which produce rice yield at
least two crops year. Countries which
produce corn, on the other hand, only
yield one crop a year. Therefore, ap'
portionately to its extent, country
which produces rice ought to support at
least twice as large population as q
country which produces corn.-Scottish

THE announcement that John W.
Breidenthal has consented to accept
the populist nomination for governor
is received with pleasure and satisfac-
ton by his friends and admirers all
over the State, and that we believe
means the rank and file OF the populist
and democratic parties. This assent
was only wrung from him after great
pressure had been brought to bear and
a large delegation of the workers of
both parties had labored with him and
and 1t is conditioned upon the nomin-
alton being rendered him on the first
ballot, or without much opposition.
1t is our opinion that he will not only
make the best governor the State ever
had, but the strongest candidate the
popnlist and democrats can nominate.

not wish the nomination. He has

business on h's own account. 1t is
only the opportunities of such numbers
of. his old friends whom b. has fought
with so long that have induced him to
say he will accept the nomination. The

imous in his behalf than the populists.
