distribution of the vote for
Mr.. Sturges. With the field against
him, divided as it was, his nomination
by large plurality was assured; the
significance in his vote is it's location.
BY reference to the table it will be
perceived that while he ran WELL as
was to be expected, in districts DOM
mated by what politicians speak of as
the better element" his strength in
other districts was in excess of expec-
tations.
Among many of the wards and dis
tricts where Illicit liquor selling
abOunds and where the professional
politicians are accustomed to cleo
tioneer in a manner calculated to Gre
ate a poor opinion as to the sanctity
of the suffrage, Mr.. Sturges' vote is
rons and proprietOrs of speakeasies
and men accustomed to an, atmosphere
of laWbreaking there are many who
respect the principles for which Mr.
sturges stood and admire his manner
of lighting for them.
This fact constitutes the great hope
of reform in our community. Reform
is something that cannot be forced by
the upper strata of society down upon
the lower. 1t has to generate at the
bottom and grow up. The vote for
Sturges shows that however much men
may err and wander from the paths of
righteousness they have an instructive
respect for the courts of justice and a
natural inclination TO approve and
support fair and open methods From
this as a starting point great improve

not go so far back as 1776 to recall
the torture OF tight stays, says the
Boston Herald. Once the writer hap

New York. The colonel'B wife was 20

meet over the corsets. Both wiped the
sweat from their brows when they got
through, however. A more thrilling
Incident of tight lacing was of young
lady going to her first ball In the

of the household had failed and her
brother was summoned to give his

the silk lscing around a bedDost, while

they came home as proof Of attend

boys were larking all the morning, and
when the congregation came out stop

from theml
However, those who went elsewhere
formed the majority. The fields round
the town were filled with companies of
men, called rural societies, who ram
bled about all the morning and dined
together at tavern. The high consta-

the publicans.

A shilling was understood to meet the
case. BARRIERS sent their apprentices on

The motto OF The THRICE. A-WEEK
