The Kodak infection.


Kodak fiends are coming to grief in
the Eastern cities and fashionable
watering places, and the prospect now
is that legislative enactment will be
resorted 10 for a decision OF the ques-
ton as to whether the kodak dude has
Il right to level his machine at any.
body he meets without the consent OF
the party whose picture he desires to
secure.
Men and women who have gained
some degree of notoriety have long
been annoyed by seeing their faces and
often their entire forms displayed in
the tiashy periodicals that load the
tables Of our book and news stands.
Feeling that forbearance ceases ut
length to be virtue, a few wealthy
families in Eastern cities have taken
the matter into their own hands with
the rigid determination that no more
kodaks shall be turned on them while
enjoying vacation at the watering
places. Whether disporting them
selves in their clothing suits, counting
solid comfort in their hammocks or
chatting upon the hotel veranda, they
simply want to be let alone.
The other day at Newport, two
ladies were walking unescorted upon
the beach when professional picture
taker met them and deliberately
snapped his kodak in their faces. The
ladies fastened to the hotel and ac-
quainted their buriy husbands with
what had happened. The two gentle
men left q game of whist and sailed
out in quest of the newspaper illus.
traitor, and having found the young
man, demanded the negatives they
had taken of their wives, on pain
of a sound duplicate thrashing. The
frightened artist, esteeming that COM
pliance was just then the better part
of valor, tremblingly produced the
pictures which the gentlemen tore
into shreds and threw into his face.
On another occasion a bevy of FASH
ionable ladies were sitting upon the
rear veranda of their hotel when sud-
denly kodak manipulation leveled his
machine at their faces, but few feet
distant. Quick as flash one of the
ladies rushed upon the intruder with
the agility of tigress, threw her heels
into the air and kicked mis- in, trument
into mass of broken glass and flying
splinters. When the crest-fallen
artist threatened to bring suit for the
destruction of his property, he was
greeted with jeers of defiance.
The bicycle has necessitated a GER
tain trend of legislation in most of
the States and Territories and now
it will be next in order for the offend
ing kodak to be turned down, or held
in allegiance by rigid environments.
That its promiscuous and unrestrained
use is getting to be an insufferable
nuisance goes without saying, and it
will be the part of wisdom for owners
Of the little machines to see whether
Or not there is any objections to a
snapshot before leveling their instru.
ments upon human beings. Like the
gun that wasn't loaded, these little
optic tubes are capable OF breeding q
good deal of mischief.

The intensity of the opposition to
Rogers at the Seattle Convention WAS
phenomenal. It seemed to be an out
pour OF protest against him as an in
dividual and an officer from a host,
every one OF whom was able to give a
sound reason for the faith that was
within him. It is either man of ex.
ceptional brains or fool who will
force nomination for himself under
such circumstances, and Rogers has
never been noted for the former char
acteristic. He is stolid and persistent
in advocacy of his selfish ambition
but that does not involve the high
and noble characteristic of true bray.

A STRIKING CARTooN.-One of the
principal infections of the present
campaign will be the frequent presen-
tation of Rogers ugly "mug" by the
daily newspapers. The Pr. was
early in the field with this embelish-
ment, and on the steamer the other
day, one OF these half.tones was ex-
hibited with q pencil addition which
greatly improved the tout ensemble of
the portrait. Short, stubby horns had
been placed on the forehead, giving a
most striking similitude OF the stage
Mephisto, as presented by the best
authorities in dramatic makeup"
Everybody who saw it conceded that
the auxiliary artist had done bis work
we'll, and that flaming background
such as will soon exist is all that is re.
quired to bring the central figure out
in bold relief.

Let Us Hear tho Last Of It,

One would suppose that no right.
minded mother would allow her little
daughter Of tender years 10 engage in
selling entertainment or excursion
tickets on the public streets. But
there are uncanny exceptions to all
rules in social life. During the pass
ing week, little girls of from five to
ten years OF age have been threading
their way through crowds OF rough
men and boys putting up their chubby
hands and appealing in baby voices
Unfortunately to all they meet,
Won't you. please sir, buy a ticket
for the excursion?"
We will be charitable enough to
venture the assertion that this custom
was originally inaugurated by the
churches and Sunday schools, primar.
liz, and. as the teachers wonld put II,
for religious and holy purposes.
Gradually and naturally enough the
practice drifted into other and more
questionable channels. If it appeared
to be the right and proper thing for
children to peddle tickets for church
festivals and Sunday school picnics,
then confiding mothers were easily
made to believe, by a slight shifting
OF the helm OF persuasion, that there
could be no improperly in sending
their little girls upon the streets to
sell tickets for the promotion of any
other beneficiary enterprise however
secular such purpose might be. But
the whole practice is in exceedingly
bad taste, to say the least, and should
be abandoned at once and forever.
The worst feature Of this practice is the
fact that little girls instead of boys
are the first choice of those willy man.
ayers who seek to dispose of their
ticket wares by sending young child.
rem upon the streets. Let us see the
last of it.

Some few months ago the Wheeling
Street Railway Company bought all the
property along the hillside between
Schad's crossing and the lower mills in
Benwood for the purpose of extending
the lines of their lately acquired
Moundsville, Benwood & Wheeling
road, without crossing the B. & O.
track to the Benwood loop of their
main lines. At the time they endeavor-
ed TO put an ordinance through the
Benwood council to remove their main
line from McMechen and Main streets,
Benwood. The company officials
agreed to leave the tracks on the
streets and run one car around the loop
for transferring passengers, which they
claimed would give as good service.
The request was made close onto an
election and both political parties
made an issue of it, both parties siding
against it. 1t was defeated
