NOTHING TOO SMALL TO STEAL

"The old saying that nothing is too small to steal is eXempliied in our business" said New York manufac- turer of custom-m2de clothing. Our thread gives us lots of trouble. We have to keep a watchful eye upon it. The case in which it is kept is under the supervision of our most trusted enploye. If he chose to be dishonest he could rob US of $5000 year and We
 would be none the wiser We would, perhaps. notice that we were using
 more thread than usual, but the excess might be attributed to other causes.
 "We have to check out every spool We give to our tailors. Even at this We are in danger of having a cheaper grade substituted. The difference in the price or the spools may be only 1 or ? cents. but it offers temptation il the scheme can be worked on a large scale. Some years ago We were forced to the conclusion that d fence was be- ing operated to dispose of stolen thread
 The spools were sold by peddlers from house to house. This suspicion caused large establishments to have each spool stamped with dies which cut into the wood, stating that the thread was stol- , en from such and such a shop. the 1 name of which was stamped on the | spool"

Spot tbe Fraudulent Voters.

Reports are current-some of the democratic ward heelers are so brazen as to boast of it-that it is proposed to carry the First and Third wards. espe- cially the First, for the democratic ticket by wholesale colonization of democratic f1oaters. It is stated that the heelers aforesaid are boasting already that they have 75 votes colo nized in the First ward.
 The republicans will have only them selves to blame if they permit the democratic bosses to elect Sunderland and Dunlap by these means. The method is not new, and proper vigi- lance will defeat it. There should be a determination to go beyond this, how ever. It should be made known throughout the city that the republi- cans propose to arrest and send to jail and to the penitentiary if possible, every man who votes illegally or at tenpts to vote illegally.
 Through failure of republicans prop erly to look after fraudulent demo- cratic voting, democratic ring has for years fattened off the treasury of the republican city of Phoenix The law providing for the election of two coun- cilnen each year for term of two years instead of four councilmen every two years, has facilitated democratic -I, T -i.a bosses to retain control of the city by defeating the republicans in detach- ments For example, when Sanders, councilman from the Fourth ward, is up far reelection all of the available demfcratic fioaters in the First ward are colonized in the Fourth, because there is no councilman elected that year in the First. And when. as in this year, it is clear that the democrati1 candidate in the First ward cannot be elected except by help from the Fourth, Boss Sanders accommodatirgly sends over a few dozen of his heelers. Thus, the republican candidate for mayor may be elected by large majority, and still the democrats may elect the tw c councilmen voted for at the same cleo tion-by illegally concentrating their strength in the two wards.
 The time has come for putting a stor to the methods whereby Sanders ani his fellow ringsters have remained i4l power in a republican city.
 Every republican voter must consti tute himself committee of one to look out for fraud.

UNIONS AND APPRENTICES.

At the convention of the National As sociation of Manufacturers in New Or leans President Parry discussed the la bor question and labor unions in a way that will not aid in the settlement of any problem. Labor unions have their faults, as everybody knows, and they have committed grievous errors that are patent to every eye, but it does not befit the president of a sober and in telligent organization to denounce in
 the most sweeping and violent terms, as Huns, vandals. criminals, socialists and terroriSts, the great body of union workmen. What good can come of such talk, and is it true? President Parry is aghast at strikes. and calls worknen revolutionists. and yet he declares con- ciliation to be foolish and arbitration :. failurei
 While he appears to be shrill person and not at all the kind of spokesman to
 be chosen for an important body like the National Association of Manufac-
 turers, yet MT. Parry none the less called attention to a matter of great
 moment to the unions and to the coun-
 try. The tendency to reduce the num-
 Der of apprentices to the lowest possi- ble limit seems to be bringing up to a
 point where apprentices will soon be abolished by unions unless wiser and more far-sighted counsels prevail The old apprentice system produced a sound workman and a sound American Citi- zen. With changing conditions it is perhaps not feasible to reintroduce the system as ill inc old days, but it is an | injustice to cut off from American youth the privilege and the right to | learn a useful trade. The result of this policy is to force thousands of our young men upon the streets or into clerkships on starvation wages when | they might and should be skilled work
 men.
 The attempt to limit the supply of | labor is in the long run as futile and as pernicious as the enmity to the use ot
 machinery in the attempt to limit pro- duction. The harm to the country and
 to industrial progress of keeping young
 men out of the trades is apparent, noi
 do the unions reap the benefit for which | they strive. There is free trade in la | bor, and when there is a demand, skill | ed workmen flock here rom England
 and Europe. The result of this blind | policy, then. is to keep American youth
 who should have an opportunity to bet | ter themselves out of the trades and tC 1 fill them with European labor. This is | a kind of discr;minat ton that will Hot | bear examination.-Philad Ledg-

CURRENT COMMENT
CALIFORNIA; CLIMATE AS A
 HAIR TONIC.


 The story that John D. Rockefeller . hair has begun to grow since his recent visit to California has led to ridiculous claims on behalf of the California eli mate by the newspapers and excited orators of that state. It is now claimed that the climate of California is hair tonic, and not only a hair tonic, but the hair tonic. the only hair tonic that act ually causes the capillary filaments to sprout and flourish in luXuriance where before had existed bare and desolate waste. It is claimed that the Califor nia air and sunlight will make the scaipy desert to blossom, not exactly like the rose. but like the broom corn plant or the familiar domestic doorma |. It was evidently the hope of California rooters to provide an immigration to that state that would recall the early sos, with people flocking thither in caravans, seeking not gold but what to those who have lost it is more to be desired than gold or much fine gold namely, their hair. There was g. possi- bility that the western country might soon witness trainloads of bald-headed men shaping their course towards the Golden state. deluded by the fanciful tales of Mr. Rockefeller's growth of hair.
 The fact turns out, however. that while MT. Rockefeller has been greatly afflicted with badness for number of years and while his scalp is beginning to produce in spots some vegetation of a spindling and delicate sort, it is de- nied by his son that there is any such rank growth as the California papers claim. "Golf-that is the secret of my fathers remarkable increase of health and strength" says young MT. Rocke- feller. My father has played the game in a dilletante sort of way for several years, but never until the last few weeks had he taken it up seriously as a health promoter" Speaking of the claims in behalf of the California climate he. says: T am surprised a! such stories. My father frequently plays golf without Q cap, letting the sun shine on his head. That, of course is an old remedy for badness. It is 2 fact that my fathers hair has begun to grow again, but of course this is due to his greatly increased health, and probably has nothing to do with the California climate" In q general way MT. Rockefeller concludes: .'ThC | crackers-and-milk diet of the last few years is. hope, thanks to golf, thine of the past"
 Whatever the cause, the country vii be overjoyed to learn that MT. Rocke- felIer's hair has resumed growing and that he has quit his diet of crackers | and- milk. If instead of now handing over a million or two to Dr. Harper a: thank offering he will drop the price of oil few notches a good many other peoplctr1ay be s4ble to fmprove theii diet.-Topeka Capital.

AN ASS. YET A GENIUS.

Of the men of the eighteenth century
 Samuel Johnson must always be count ed among the greatest; and yet yer itable ass happened to be q better writer. For two things may now be said of the despised BoZzy. He was unquestionably a great writer. He was the butt of his contemporaries: every body laughed at him; Johnson treated him as one would an affectionate hound; no one took him seriously. What would the Literary club have said had some one announced that this flop and boot-licker was a greater writer than their chief? Yet Boswell proved that a fool as Sterne proved that a knave, may be q literary genius. There can be no comparison between Johnson and Boswell as writers. Bos-

wells biography of Johnson-the best biography ever written-is worth all of Johnson's writings put together. Lit eraTy composition was praotlced by Boswell with such consummate art that JChnson's writings seem in comparison crude and uncouth. No one believes that Socrates was greater writer than Plato; and though to step from Plato to Boswell is to step from the sublime to the ridiculous, when we come to estimate great writers apart rom great men, both Plato and Bos- well stand in the front rank. In a dis tinct1y lower grade, we see such burly giants as Ben Jonson and Samuel John- son; God bless them both for their great, sturdy souls and mighty hearts, -BOoklovers' Magazine

The Duty of Republicans.

Phoenix is republican by a good ma jority, and every candidate on the city republican ticket should be elected by a good majority.
 The democrats invariably insist upon drawing party lines in the election of city officers. and although they are in the minority they have managed most of the time to retain control of the city government They acmomplish this result by themselves supporting their party ticket and by playing upon the generosity and good nature of reput- hcans. This year the republicans should play politics also.
 There are many reasons why every republican voter in the city should vote the republican ticket, straight, and not single reason why support should be withheld from a single nomi- nee. The republican candidates all are honest, capable men, and the city ys business will be ably and economically administered by them. If they are elected there will be no footing of the city treasury for the benefit of any politician, ring or club. Their candi- dacy appeals to every taxpayer. And on the political side of the question republicans should by all means grasp this opportunity to wrest control of tine city from the democratic ring. Tie democratic voters follow with unvary- ing docility the dictation of their politicians and the events of the past few years have demonstrated that the pressure from the bosses is too strong for the average democratic official to withstand It is obvious, therefore that better government capnot be had while the people continue to elect democrats to city offices.

oPEN-AIR CONSUMPTION CrRE.

OPEN AIR CONSERVATION CURE.
 The open air and tent life treatment tuberculosis patients has been prac- ticed here and there for years. In q general way the benefit of it has long been known. and individuals many years ago who were suffering from the preliminary inroads of the disease Were cured by it. General Grant in his Me rnoirs'' tells of his own experience at or about the outbreak of the Mexican war. when, in the course Of duty. he was obliged to live most of the time in the open air and found that q trouble with his lungs from which he had been sui fering was permanently cured.
 IL is reported now that the open air cure has just been instituted at the bis tuberculosis infirnary on Blackwcll's island. A considerable number of the patients will soon be living in canvas houses, and if the same results follow which have been noticed in some Euro pean cities and. in some establishments near Philadelphia, many of these pa tients will be relieved and some cured. The progress of this movement in New York and elsewhere will be followed with much interest and hope.-Roches- ter Democrat and Chronicle.

"What Is an Expert 2"

you often speak of expert poultry
men," says IA correspondent. Now
please tell us---what is an eXpertf"
We must confess that the question
came with something of shock, for
really it never heretofore occurred to
us that any one who knew the meaning
of the common word expert" would
not know what was meant when 1t
was used to describe n poultryman.
But as we think 1t over in the light
of some discussions recently taking
place in our columns it does not seem
so strange that some confusion should
exist.
Properly speaking, an expert poultry
man Is one whose experience and train
ing have qualified him for s3me branch
Of poultry keeping. Such Il man Is an
expert in his particular line. Some are
expert in several lines. If there Is one
who may fairly claim to be expert in
all lines, he has not vet been located.
But some recent communications ap-
pearing in thesc columns have trented
of experts as Il species Of parasites
among pcultrymen. Some Of our CORE
spondents have had dealings with men
who protested experience and skill they
did not possess, and so seem to have
arrived at the conclusion that none OF
these claiming to be accomplished
.poultrylnen is 50 in reality. Thus it
has happened that the term expert
papltryman" has sometimes appeared
as derogatory phrase Farm PouI.

THE TURTLE THAT

He never studied at a dental COLLEGE

little slow, but he did his work well.

Whether he could put one In or not is
another matter.

cannot travel nearly as fast, but he had
some attraction for Philip, and think

around his loose tooth. She did not
wish TO do it at first, but at last con-

end of the thread to hole in the shell
of one of his turtles. The turtle walked
off into the grass. Philip braced him
