loss Of time, 1t is still necessary for the
farm boy or some patient dog or sheep
to churn the butter. In large creamer-

necessary to provide a power churn for
this work, but until the introduction of
electricity on the farm on an extensive
scale, with individual motors to operate
all the machinery, a power c1urn

of farmers.

Trolley Cars Purify the Air.

An Italian scientist claims to have
established that electric tramways are
great mediums in the disinfection Of
towns, says the Electrical Engineer,
London. He points out that the cleo
trio spark, which is SO frequent an oc-
currence to the overhead trolley, and
the emission Of light from the car
wheel when the rail is used for the re-
turn current transform the oxygen Of
the air into ozone, which has puri-
flying and disinfecting influence. The
high discharges he says, are frequent
enough to influence greatly the atmos-
pheric constituents, especially where
the line passes through narrow thor
Oughfares.

His Time is Cominp

The man who takes no interest in politics
who Is fnexpressibly bored by reports of
speeches, who has no taste for the statis-
tics of balloting, who does not care a fin
for the trend of the betting, who thinks the
country will go to the dogs whoever is
elected. has been having a hard time of it
for some weeks. He has had to take a
back seat in nearly every company. He has
been snubbed by enthusiastic partisans,
called unpatriotic and derided for his re-
markable temperament But the good time
of his release Is coming. In about five DAYS
he can begin to assert himself again. His
conversational efforts will rise in social
esteem He discourse fluently about
the war in the far east, and his expert pro-
nunciation of Japanese and Russian names
will win for him the admiration that he
has SO sorely missed of late. Or he can
talk about the foot ball season. and rattle
off the scores of the intercollegiate con-
tests and mention the names of famous
players casually as one who knows the
game by heart. Or he can criticise the
latest sensational and popular novel, and
show his familiarity with the technique of
the book-writing business. The stage, too,
will be no longer neglected, and will afford
a wide field for talk Even the weather,
in moments of depression, will arouse in
terest when all other topics fail

The Passing of Parker.

The Star on Saturday In speaking OF
Judge Parker's charge against the Presi-
dent and Mr. Cortelyou, said: THE issue as
now made up is wildly distinct. Either the
presidential candidate of one party is
bla clma tier for partisan purposes, or the
candidate of the other party is a slanderer
for partisan purposes"
The question was settled in Brooklyn
Saturday night. Judge Parker appeared
before large audience. with those present
and the country at large eagerly awaiting
his words, and not scrap of proof had he
to offer. Fumbling and stumbling with his
topic; betraying in every sentence the SLAM
derer brought to bay, he could only shuttle
and qualify and in attempts TO evade eX-
pose himself further TO ridicule and con-
tempt. Our political annals may be search
ed in vain for such a catastrophe to a man
of reputation standing for the SURFACES or
decent men. His worst enemy could not
have led him into a position more destruc-
tive of all that a man should hold most
dear

Train Robbers Close at Hand,

Train robbers are VIGOROUSLY no respect
ers Of persons. and the belief Is fast
spreading that they have furthermore no
respect for place. For some years they
have been steadily working their way into
the east. pushing Atlanticward the from
tiers which were supposed to mark the
bounds Of railroad security and danger
These gentry have made their latest ap-
pearance at Havre de Grace, Maryland
where they tried unsuccessfully to hold
up an express messenger. Fortunately, in
this case the would-be robbers were foil
ed by the messenger, who shot at one of
them as he was trying to break his way
into the car. His confederate covered the
engineer and fireman with a pistol, but
was apparently afraid to shoot to enforce
his demand that the train be stopped.
This Is a disquieting demonstration of
the desperation of the criminal classes. If
train on a busy eastern railroad can be
thus approached there is no safety any,
where. If the express messenger can be
assailed in the security of his own car,
what guarantee is there that robbers will
not go through the passenger cars in the
good old western fashion and hold I'D
every occupant? Inasmuch as the engineer
and fireman of the train had a good view
of the armed negro who stood on the
tender. it may be possible to identify him,
ana through him perhaps to capture his
partner. A haul of this brace of daring
mghwayr1en would go far to discourage
this dangerous form of industry in the
more settled parts Of the country.

Two Gasoline Deaths in October.

Politics in Washington.

For several days, including today. there
has been witnessed in this town very re-
freshing spectacle. The railroad of1ces
have been thronged with men who though
employed here by the federal government
have their voting residence elsewhere. They
have been carrying out their plans to eXer-
else their right of suffrage tomorrow. Some
have gone on quite long journey and at no
little expense. But they like others with
only few miles to go. have shown an
eager interest in the opportunity and have
improved 1t with plainly manifested pleas
ure.
II has been good to see this because 1t
shows two things. First, that many edu-
Gated and competent men may be separated
from the daily turmoil and excitement of
politics without losing interest in political
issues and results, and, second. that there Is
nothing in the atmosphere of Washington
although the contrary is so often asserted
that initiates against the spirit of national
pride.
The cheap cynic will tell US that these
men are acting under a sort of duress; that
they are afraid not to take this step; that
the eyes of bosses are upon them; that
blacklisting would follow their failure to
"show up at home on election day; that 1t
is not patriotism or national pride that
moves them, but selfish manifestation or
obligation to an appointing power. state or
national. 1t is useless to reply to this view
of the matter, 1t Is to reply to the view
of any of the springs of human conduct
from this same source. The cynic will al
ways have his fling. But what really counts
in the world is the accrediting of men with
good motives and applauding their actions
when they contribute to things of good use
and good report.
What is characterized as 1.-The Washing
ton atmosphere is often the subject of
small wit at distance. Citizens of this
town are represented as unable to see be-
Indifferent to what takes place there. With
out suffrage themselves, they neither know
nor care about the ballot where it's privi-
leges are enjoyed This is calumny. pure

Troubles of Old and Young.
From the Newark News.

FROM the Newark news.
No room for young men and none for old
ones seems to be the condition of affairs
in this strenuous age and in this section OF
the country. In the great cities, the great
factories and on the great railroads 1t Is
now almost impossible for man to get
job if he is over thirty-fiVe or forty years
old This refers to industrial occupations,
while in some of the professions it is ex-
actly the reverse; no man can get much
business unless he has had considerable ex-
perience and is over thirty-five years or
age Such is particularly the case with
young physicians, and it is made more in
toIerable by new practice that is rapidly
being inaugurated. Now nearly every great
factory, mill and railroad has it's own re-
tanned physician; the fraternal organlza-
lions have their special doctors, and it is
still further proposed, by some new hos
pitfalls, to organize clubs with large mem
bership, wherein the payment of a small
annual fee will guarantee the best medical
and surgical treatment whenever required.
Where does the young physician have any
prospect under such conditions, and where
do the skilled laborers and artisans of
forty years and upward find any openings
under the demands already referred to?

Law the Dust.

If the cut in the asphalt pavement on
Pennsylvania avenue which marks the line
OF the new sewer there under construction
is to be left unrepaired for any considerable
length of time some pains might at least be
taken either by the contractor or the Dis
trlct authorities to keep the dirt sprinkled
during these dry days. This dirt, exposed
to the traffic, is ground to a fine powder
and blows about with every breeze. In con-
sequence the stores and offices on Penn
sylvania avenue and the adjacent streets
are kept filed with dust, seriously to
the detrment of business and the health of
all occupants of the region. A sprinkling
cart run up and down the big street half
dozen times day would abate the nuisance
and add to the comfort and welfare of many
hundreds of Washingtonians

A Growing Evil.

From the Dayton News.
Still is the tipping system the subject OF
condemnation by people who travel from
place to place. And not only by those who
travel, but who find even in their local en-
vronment that it is growing evil. The
tip has grown so in years agone that
walters at public houses are employed with
the understanding that they are privileged
to resort to graft. and squeeze what they
can from the guests This is what makes
the system so obnoxious. The patron pays
the price set by the house, but he is en-
barrassed with the actions of the employees,
who are always indicating that the guest
owes them something for looking at him
while he walks through the hall. or direct
ing him where he may find his room. 1t
should not, therefore, have been source
of great surprise or it should not have
raised peoples indignation when 1t was
found that the landlord Of a certain hotel
shared the graft with his employees.
