woman Suffrage in the West.

The opponents of woman suffrage are
shouting from the housetops: Behold!
women have had the franchise four years
in Idaho, five years in Utah, seven years
in Colorado, ten years in Wyoming and
the millennium has not yet arrived:
it ought to be abolished in those states
and never granted in any Others"
1t would be a waste of words, perhaps,
to suggest that even the longest of these
periods is rather brief time to usher
in the millennium or to call attention
to the fact that there is not state in
the union with so small proportion Of
it's inhabitants in the jails, poorhouses
and insane asylums as Wyoming; or
that the first legislatures of Colorado
and Idaho, after women were enfran-
chised passed respectively a stringent
anti-prize fighting and anti-gambling
law; or that the vast preponderance Of
testimony from all the four states is that
the effects of woman suffrage have been
in every way beneficial to the common
wealth; nor it is worth while to suggest
that the women in all of these states are
SO largely in the minority that, even if
they should stand solidly together, they
could not wholly eradicate those evils
which are so strongly implanted in the
community. There is ample and trust
worthy evidence that those women have
used their ballots in favor of law and
order, and of candidates who would en-
force existing statutes and not be them
selves violators of civil and moral laws.
But what right have men to exact a
guarantee from women that they will
rege1trate the world with their ballots?
Have they required such pledges from
III other class of citizens? Was this
NGUH expected when several million
9lantatfOn negroes were enfranchsed?
q And when the vote was conferred on the
4 Dmt civjlixedN Indians of the Western
olts? Do the political managers prev
kS0s3 to each election scour the alleys
And byways of the cities in the effort to
nlturalize every newly-landed foreigner
SO that he may improve the quality of
the electorate? Is it for this reason that
criminals are pardoned from the peni-
tentiaries, Jail doors are opened, and the
inmates of alms-houses are rounded up
at the polls? For this same lofty pur-
pose has the ballot been placed in the
hands of the illiterate Hawaiians and
Porto Ricans; and the half-savage Fill

The Ninteenth century will go GU

The Ninteenth century will go out
with the sad distinction of having seen
in the last month of it's last year, a
burial in the potter's field in the city
of St. Louis, where the relatives followed
the dead to the desolate spot. The ST
Louis Globe-Democrat says this is prob
ably the first instance on record where
parents too poor to furnish intermeat
have followed their babys coffin to a
pauper burial. No minister, no hymn
no service of any Sort only the father
and mother love to dignity the squalor
Of the occasion. Will the Twentieth cen
fury give us reforms that shall forbid
a second instance of such sharp con-
trasts? In whole cityful nobody
wealthy enough to give really deserv-
ing family decent burial for their child!

s-@T Counter lrr1tantn In CHINA.
= The Chinese doctor has a game that
usually works like q charm. When q
doctor is called in China the patient ex-
poets results at once and the doctor
guarantees them. Not to furnish such
immediate results would be to destroy
his repusation forever with his patients.
Now. there is masterful way of getting
a patients attention from his disease
and this is to concentrate his attention
elsewhere. In other words, it is our old
friend, the dry goods clerk method. Pos
sibly you do not recognize it at once
under this name, but you will after lit
tie explanation. A dry goods clerk is in
many cases counter irritant. Now, arr
you next"
The Chinese doctor, to be explicit, adj
ministers counter irritant He mixes
up some red hot connection like a tine
ture of cayenne pepper and tells the
patient to drink it down at once. The
patient drinks it, and Immediately, with
tears of gratitude in his eyes, he leaps to
his feet and hollers fire" and calls for
rescue on the seven dragons that rule the
waveless seas of death. Meantime eight
large bonfires are burning in his stomach
and his throat is Fourth of July cele-
bration. In fact, he has so much to
take up his attention that his disease be-
comes discouraged, loses it's grip, gives
up the unequal contest and seeks out
some other Chinaman TO annoy. Then
the doctor pays the patient, this Is the
Chinese way, and leaves the house. When
the Chinaman is not sick he pays his
doctor. The idea is that the patient
pays the doctor to keep him WE'LL. When
he gets sick, it is ION the DOCTOR"
Some doctors in China administer a
highly attenuated theory to their pa
tients. They beat kettle drums and let
loose frightful chemical odors to scare
away the demons. The patient, salts
fed that something tremendous is being
done, unloosens his attention from his
disease and fixes it on the certiture OF
cure, and 10, he is we'll. Or perhaps he
dies Some deaths are to be expected
under any form of treatment.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also n Few Facts on the same sub
ject.

We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living. about vegeta-
rianism and many other fads along che
same line.
Restaurants may be found in the larger
cities where no meat. pastry or coffee Is
served and the food crank Is in hts glory
and arguments and theories galore adj
vancsd to prove that meat was never in
tended for human stomachs. and almost
make US believe that our sturdy ancestors
who lived four score years in robust
health on roast beef. pork and mutton
must have been grossly ignorant Of the
laws OF health
our forefathers had other things 70 do
than formulate theories about che food
they ate. A warm welcome was extended
TO any kind from bacon TO acorns.
A healthy appetite and commou-sense
arc excellent guides 20 follow IN matters
OF diet. and a mixed dies OF grains. fruits
and meats Is undoubtedly the best.
As compared with grains and vegeta-
bles meat furnishes the most nutrlment IN
