men elected. twenty-one were nominal ly Republican and only fourteen Dem ocrati5, showing that large number of those who voted for a Democratic mayor voted also for Republican alder men.
 How high-minded and high acting the league is is indicated by the fact that it objected to the reelection of one alderman who had high business standing. because his responsibility did not prevent him from tacitly ap- proving Of what appeared to be cor rupt measures. Quite a number of eminent citizens. the friends of the al- derman. addressed a petition to the league, asking that its action reject ing him as a candidate be reconsidered, on the ground that the alderman in question had voted for questionable measures in order that he might there by secure votes for measures which | were recognized to be meritorious; in other words, these leading citizens of Chicago held that it was entirely war rantable to trade bad legislation for good legislation, as this appeared to be about the only way in which public affairs could be carried on. The atti- tude of the league, however, was that of no compromise with corruption, holding that trades of the kind sug- gested would form class of defence which would prove equally available to the "boodler' as to the so-called reput- 1 able citizen.
 It seems reasonable to believe that
 what has been done in Chicago can be
 done in other cities which need such
 work. If Chicago has enough righteous men to save her there is hope for the
 other places.

USAPPRECf4TIFR.

What should be thought and said of people like the people of Oregon, who neglect to take advantage of the refer dunn on measures passed by the recent legislature? When the time for filing petitions expired it was found that peti- tions with S.9oO signatures demanded the referendum on the Lewis and Clark fair bill, 4.B00 on the portage railroad bill and 3,222 on the corporation tax bill. All these failed. as 4.386 signatures Were required. It is said that enough peti- tions were outstanding to make up the necessary total on some of these meas ures, but through carelessness were not forwarded to Salem in time.
 People who don't appreciate the refer endum probably ought not to have it. It is too good and too high for them. Very likely such people wouldn't know enough to appreciate municipal owner ship of public utilities.

ANOTH ER ONE NAILED.

One by one the roses fade, and one by
 one the pleasing old lies are nailed by scientific Investigators. The other day
 J. w. T. Duvel read a paper before the
 Biological Society of Washington on the vitality of seeds. in which he exploded l the good old notion that seeds found in I mummy cases and tombs, and known to
 be several hundred and even thousand years old. will. if planted. germinate. The truth of the matter, he said, is that 1 the vital energy of seeds expires quick ly. so that the stories which have gone l the rounds about Egyptian wheat and prehistoric cliff-dweller corn germinat- l ing after a lapse of thousands of years are falsehoods pure and simple. Where or how they originated is @ mystery, but, like every other scientific humbug, the story has as much vitality and lon- gevity as the miraculous grain which is described. Awhile ago the British As sociation for the Advancement of Science, as result of the members sec ing, hearing, and reading a great deal I about Egyptian wheat sprouting, decid- ed to investigate the matter thoroughly.
 The results of this investigation have recently been made known. The asso- | citation experimented with the seeds of
 some 9S2 species. including wheat and corn, and discovered that out
 of this entire lot there were
 only three or four species that
 would germinate after period
 of fifteen years. Of the entire 382 spec
 es all were treated alike; that is to say, placed in dry, dark and cool places, where the conditions were exactly the ] same as in the case of the grain found in mummy cases. The great majority of species lost all vitality after a period
 of four years, and the few that did ger minate at the end of the fifteen-year period produced very weak and feeble
 plants. These were the seeds of very
 hardy and vigorous plants indigenous
 to desert countries. where the struggle
 for existence is very hard, and not
 wheat and corn, which were among the
 earliest to lose their vitality. More
 over, of the entire number of seeds of
 the three varieties which produced after
 fifteen years in storage, only few pro- 1 duced plants.
 l It will. of course, be long time be- fore the truth will overtake the lie in this case, but it has started and should be pushed along by all interested in
 having things right.

rRnm coRNErELD 10 CITY.

What can be and Is done in this won- derfuI country is illustrated by the rapid transit of Birmingham, Alabama, from a cornfield to a city almost as big and enterprising as New Haven. The big real estate edition just issued by the Birmingham Ledger sets forth the strange story in a complete way. Thir- ty-two years ago the site of the hust- ling Alabama city was a cornfield. To- day the city and its suburbs contain 100, ,000 inhabitants. and in the past ten years the population of Jefferson coun- ty has doubled. Millions of dollars are now being invested in Alabama indus tries, and her iron, steel, coal and other products are successfully competing with Pennsylvania and England in the markets Of the world. Birmingham is the center of this industrial region, and it's wealth is being poured into what it's citizens are proud to term the "livest city in the South" The Ledger pre- sents two pictures that show in strik- ing manner the rapid growth of Alaba- mas largest town. One shows the first house in Birmingham built in 1871. at cost of $50: the other is of the new First National bank building, not yet completed, which will cost $75O,O00.
 No wonder we feel big. We are big.

 HAIR ON THE HUMAN FACE.

Some IncOnsiatency-A Plea for the
 Abolition of Beortfs and Mustaches. To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: I had the pleasure of listening to pr. Knop's lecture at Foy Auditorium on Friday evening, and was much interest ed in what the gentleman said upon the
 subject of tuberculosis and its preven- tion. While listening to his disserta-
 tion upon the part disease germs play in the propagation of disease I looked about at the goodly number of doctors
 gathered there and was impressed by the inconsistency of medical men as shown in their facial adornments-in the number who wore boards and mus taches as constant appendages, while assuming to advocate, in precept and example, the importance of asepticism. Many of those present, prominent in | medical and lay circles for knowledge and skill wore flowing boards, while the number displaying mustaches in- cluded quite all whose age did not yet | justify the venerable beard" Even | the lecturer himself could not be ex- | cepted, and spoke to us of germs and
 of germ m-carriers from lips overhung by 1 the filth-catching mustache.
 It seems to me that medical men, of
 all actions should bring precept and
 practice closer into alignment than they do in this very striking particular. It 1 is better known to them than to the | laity that boards and mustaches are, in | the very nature of things, filthy and egregious carriers as well as nesting places for germs, and, knowing this, there is no excuse or justification for the practice. In a matter of this kind, ], for which there is neither need nor jus tification, the medical men should be at least consistent with the principles of their science and exemplars for the less instructed 1aity. But, as a matter of fact, there is to-day no other class, no profession, which cultivates beard
 growing so generally as do medical men. Look over an assemblage of doc- tors with this in mind and see for your self and make mental comparison the
 next time you look over an assemblage
 of lawyers or even of preachers.
 Happily the beard and the mustache are rapidly going out of fashion, but in | this commendable and gratifying move | ment it must be conceded that the hy- gienic principles of medical men took
 no part either in intoxicating it or in ex- employing it. The laity is leading the | professionals in the A B c of hygiene | a clean face-and the germ-lore medics are not even slowly following the good example. The one qualification dear to the young doctor is apparently beard,
 and after the possession of his diploma | it seems to be the object of solicitous 1 cultivation. Then, too, the younger | fraternity wear them trimmed all alike. | There is the doctors beard" forsooth, | in the dawn of the twentieth century! | But, as said moment ago, the laity
 is coming to the rescue, and some 6ay the medical men who know so much about germs and the evil of carpets,

 riers will be shamed into consistent be-

A TOUGH AND LUCKY STUDENT.
 Falling over cliff fifty feet high into a stone quarry, Lewis M. Bussey, a Northwestern university student, mi- raculously escaped death and even se- rious injury yesterday at Lockport. A sprained ankle and a number of bruises on the body were the only damages which Bussey received to indicate that he had taken a frightful tumble. A few minutes after striking the stone bottom of the quarry he was able to stand and walk to the carriages of the party of students.

GREAT AND GOOD WORK,

Chicago has right to- point with pride to itself, even though it's death rate is not going to zero as rapidly as at one time it appeared to be- It has Municipal Voters League which has been in existence since 1896 and which has done great and good work. In 1896 the league elected what was termed an "honest minority" of the city council; in 1897 this minority was increased in numbers; in 1898 it was almost large enough to organize the council and in 1899 it succeeded in doing this. The ground taken by the league from the outset has been entire indifference to the national politics of candidates in the city elections-"fitnes competency and integrity being considered para mount to all other considerations.

The Pingree potato patch is to be abandoned in the city. of it's birth, De- troit where it originated ten years ago. Mayor afterward governor Pingree, in the effort to aid the deserving poor of the Michigan city, devised the plan of making use of vacant lots. The scheme was to afford an opportunity to those willing to do the work to raise garden vegetables to aid in the support of themselves and their families. Besides making use of vacant lots in the city limits, there were large tracts of land in the suburbs of Detroit, which the charitable organizations interested hired and devoted to the work. The plan was copied in other large cities in this country, and the fame of the Pin gree potato patch plan was extended abroad.
