In the matter of the watercress, on
which DR.. King Wary has submitted an
unfavorable report to the borough of
Hackney, the city press is r%eassuring.
Watercress grown in polluted streams Is
undoubtedly dangerous to health if not
properly washed. But the plant does
not absorb the poison in the same way
as the oyster does the sewage, and a
cleansing in fresh cold water removes
all danger, This, w are assured, is the
consensus Of medical experts. The
obvious moral is one that would natur-
ally occur to all dainty feeders-that
cress should be well oashed before it
reaches the able.-LoEdon Chronicle.

THE REAL THING.
COrtOIse Shell "Direct from TOrtoi"
Where the Reptiles Were
Doubtless Raised.

Less genuine tortoise shell is imported
in New York from India now than there
has been for a great many years, owing to
the active efforts of the Jams, This, says
the New York Times, is an influential sect
of humanltarians with headquarters at
Bombay, but with thriving communities
throughout the empire. Their mission on
behalf of the tortoise is much the same
as that Of the Audubon societies IN this
country with regard to BIRDS. Great
crielties, the Jams allcge. are practiced
in the tortoise shell trade, and they are
trying TO stop it. A woman who had read
about this movement went into a Bread
way store and looked at some tortoise shell
combs.
But are they genuine?' she asked
There are so many limitations in the
market now
ooh, yes, these are genuine" replied the
dealer. I'VE get them from our own
agents, direct from Tortoi.'

ALTHOUGH partisan politics have
nothing to do with the judicial election,
yet an attempt is being made to repre-
sent that l.. K. Luse was bolter from
the republican ticket in 1902 Mr.. Luse's
political opinions are not proper sub
jects for discussion when the only ques
ton is his ability as lawyer and his
fitness for judicial position. He has,
however, issued an explicit denial of the
statement that he bolted the republican
ticket in that year and states that he
has supported Governor La Toilette for
Office on eight different occasions, begin
ming in 1880 and ending in 1902. Such
record ought to satisfy anyone of Mr.
Luses republicanism, if that is an issue
in the campaign. 1t does not speak we'll
for the campaign methods which are be-
ing used in opposition to him, but we
believe that such methods have not the
support of Mr.. Kerwin but are being
made under the mistaken idea that it is
the duty of the supporters Of the admin
istration to do all in their power to Sc
cure his election.

A LARGE number OF. the, leading manu-
facturers of the state have signed pro-
test against the proposed rate commits
sion in Wisconsin, which has been so
disastrous to the manufacturing inter
ests in Iowa. Under the provisions of
the rate commission in that state many
of the large manufacturing industries
have been obliged to either go out of
business or remove their plants to other
states where the laws are less inimicable
to their success and prosperity. Under
the populistic craze of our present ad-
ministration, laws have been suggested
that would result in the same conditions
in Wisconsin and thousands of laborers,
artisans and mechanics who are now the
consumers of the products of the farms
thrown out of employment, and it is

the necessity of electing men to the leg
islature who will not be influenced by

act laws that will work injury to the
