A Big Job.

Clayton Record.
 The interval between this and the next regular session being four years, the re- quired changes must be made at once, or confusion will follow.
 It is no light work to frame virtually new system that will carry out the chang ed and new requirements of our new or ganic law. Much of the work will be. of necessity, somewhat experimental. This fact must give the legislators pause, and should make them extremely careful. The period of four years will desperately intensity both failures and mistakes.
 It is big job to do in twenty-tWo days but the men wanted to go to the Capitol and do it for us. They are there and now let them work as they never have done bpfOre

HUMAN BEINGS WITHOUT
 TEETH.

We have been right smartly interested in a recent discussion on the question: Will the coming man be toothless?' which we find in one of our contempora> ries That paper refers to the apparently undeniable fact that human teeth are de- teriorating, for We suppose there is ID doubt about 1t. As humanity advances in civilization, the teeth appear to retro grade, and from this the argument Is made that the time will come when hu- man beings will have no teeth at all or. in short, they may be in the condition of the old darkey who
 Had no teeth for to eat de corn cake, So he had to let de corn cake be- We suppose, having no evidence to the | contrary, that Adam and Eve began life Journey with a complete set of good and serviceable teeth. Investigations show that men and women of ancient times had better teeth than those of this day do, for they were indispensable, just as sound and good teeth are now necessary to all savage peoples. The early human beings, as do many savages now, ate much raw food, both vegetable and anil mal They ate less rich food and prob ably indulged in but few hot drinks. con- seuuently, strong teeth were necessary and their preservation a natural result of their diet and modes of life. Modern man, eating much rich food, with hot coffee and teas. does so at the expense of his teeth, and they decay early. It is an instance of cause and effect.
 But there is another point in this con- nection. by way of reply to the question first asked. Psychologists tell us that any member of our bodies which is not continually used will in the course of ages disappear entirely. Not being used, na. ture decides that the necessity for 1t no longer exists and it vanishes. Now, as Is known to all. civilized beings are con- suming more and more soft foods pre- pared foods of all kinds, which require little mastication, and which can be eaten almost as well without as with teeth. The quality of our foods and drinks tends to cause early decay of the teeth and the increasing disuse of those hitherto necessary parts of our anato- mics render them useless. The result will be that the coming man, at some future age of the world, will be a toothless ani- nal.
 Would we really be worse off, if that time ever comes? We can live without chewing and can live without teeeth, and in some respects would be better off. Any one who has suffered the agonies of toothache, or has endured the tender tor. lures of dental manipulation has felt like wishing that teeth had never been in- vented, Says Shakespeare:
 For there was never yet philosopher
 That could endure the toothache pa-
 tiently.
 and many of us have found the dentist as painful as the ache. If human beings were fitted out like turtles, or even fowls, it would save, much pain, and something of the kind may come in time. If the teeth disappear, the gums will doubtless harden to fit the demands of humanity. But what will the dentists do?

As an Iconoclast your modern scient- est is a brilliant success. There's noth- ing in history or tradition that he won't knock silly if given the opportunity, Take the humble copperas, as an exam pie From time beyond which no mans memory reaches, this drug or mineral the sulphate of iron-has teen considered ohc of the most potent dlslnfectants known, ard its use has been countenanced and recommended by all who have sup posedly been prepared to give an opinion on the subject. Now, however, comes an authoritative statement from the Public Health Service at Washington, declaring in brutally brief language that 1t has no real value as a disirfectant." What's the use of trying to believe anything if that is the way our beliefs are to be | treated?

Democratic Vitality.

WashingtOn Post.
 Chaotic as the Democratic situation now appears, a victory fo- that party "om conservative lines" in the Pres .dent;ai election of 1904 Is easily possible Let those who doubt this recall the records of 1872. 1874 and 1876. The most crushing of all the post-bellum defeats of the De mocracy occurred in 1872. and that party s greatest triumph was won in 1874 and that was followed in 1876 by what ali Democrats believe and many Republicans frankly admit to have been Democratic victory~

 MT. Bryan speaks of metallic money as distinct from other sorts of money. We wonder what the fathers of the Republic who authorized the coinage of money would have thought of man who talked of metallic money" How shall we coin money If it be not metallic? they would have asked. They would have been yet more surprised if they had been glibly an- swered: Use q printing press.
