me calculated to do harm to the Judge who
presides in the St. Louis Court of Criminal
Correction, and to give the public false
idea of the proceedings OF the court.
The incident upon which the article Is
based occurred in the trial of one Crowley.

PENDANT, upon the stand. as part of his
defense, denied the paternity of his wifes
youngest child. In cross-examination of the
defendant. l called the attention of the
court. sitting as a jury, to the striking re-
semblance between father and child.
The court expressed no opinion upon the
point, nor was it any part Of the decision
proper. There was convincing evidence
upon the whole case to convict the de-
PENDANT, and the courts Judgment found
him guilty Of wife abandonment.
I know The Republic would not willfully
do anything to give out the impression that
this very important court in our city ad-
ministration Is being conducted in any
spirit of horse play or levity. Very truly,

INTERNAL REFRIGERAToRs.


In editorial in the current issue of the indie
pendent attention is called the mysterious internal
refrigerator in the human body which enables a
healthy organism to maintain normal temperature Of
$50 degrees Fahrenheit matter what the temporal
ture of the surrounding summer air may be.
Pursuing the consequent train of thought it is
gested that sort of pill be evolved which shall
stimulate this refrgerating gland, whatever it is,
to work overtime in very warm weather and so in
the comfortable GOODNESS of the swaower of the
pill. Or, continues the Independent, since are
making such astonishing progress in the development
of the power Of mind over bodily functions, why can
not hope to keep cool by merely thinking about tY
While there is not urgent necessity for the
people of ST Louis to consider this problem since
summer-resort weather prevails here when New York
and other unhappy cities are sweltering with heat,
the independents contention may be taken up at least
to the extent of stating that it proposes cultivation
of the of hotweaher suffering rather than the
antidote Diminishing the pill proposition as
fippant popularity, the wise will tell the indie
pendents editor that the way keep cool is "by
merely thinking about it, but, to the contrary by
not thinking about it at ALL
The amendment thus offered is sound proved by
the successful experiments of many philosophc and
tranquil minds and is respectfully submitted to the
attention of the New York publication. Don't think
about the weatherand then your internal refrigera

really that is too absurd; and it may be readily
jectured that the Standard Oil Company would per-

Honorable Reed Smoot, of Utah, would scarcely fill

Moreover Mr.. Nortoni would in all likelihood have
the backing of the Atkins faction, which is almost the
dominant faction in local Repubcanism. Being the
choice of the Atkins faction, Mr.. Norton would be
acceptable to Mr. Roosevelt in whose name several
clubs have been started by the Atkins faction. And
Mr. Norton would, would he not, have the support of
the Globe? That is fair suppostion on the theory
that the Globe favors anything and everything which
is opposed to Kerensism. But it is only superstition
1t must not be forgotten that Zeigenhenism, which
is married by hyphen to Kerensism. is the Globes
near and dear relation. Indeed the Globe, factor
in national politics, scarcely be said to be fixed.
But that is neither here there concerns Mr.
Nortoni.
The point is that Mr.. Nortoni would undoubtedly
have the support of the Democratic papers of Mis-
souri, 1t is only fair that the Democratic press by
way Of returning courtesy, should help nominate

to provide New Orleans with unsurpassed SAM

That city has had practically effectual facilities
for dsposing of its sewage. On this it has

ing from both its citizens and nonresidents but
has suffered material losses which have delayed COM
mercial progress and curailed the cys growth Con-
dtions resulting from the unsanitary provoked
criticism which deferred strangers from establishing
business and residence there.
Natural disadvantages existed to make desired
Improvements extremely difficult and to constrain the
people to be more or less satisfied with unavoidable
seemingly incorrectible unpleasantness. 1t was no
easy matter to devise 4 thorough system, to ar
range for construction, or TO obtain the millions Of
dollars necessary for the work. Consequently New
Orleans is all the more deserving of congratulation
for having at last obstacles that appeared
to be all but insurmountable.
Though the city will put S1SOOOOOO in holes in the
ground, the money will be well invested. The in
habtants will have better health and enjoy their
home the more. Streets and premises will present
better appearance. Increase in population will be
stimulated. The change will invite additional mer-
camille ana manufacturing concerns. 1t will enable
the city and the citizens practice economy by dis

unsatisfactory conditions.
The prosecution and completion of the work will
stand as the best advertisement, from every stand
point that the city could acquire. The income direct
and indirect, the investment will exceed the ex-
penditure and New Orleans cannot do otherwise than
gain by the improvements.
