Our strenuous President proposes to

And so President Roosevelt has
stewed and fretted over the delay until
patience has ceased to be a virtue.
Now bill has been introduced i'm

be conducted by the President and such
persons as he may employ" He is to
have three years in which to make
lgood-until March 4. 1907.
Good the blu should pass. It is
proper. Remember how Congress
turned over a certain job to Mckinley ?
They voted a big pile OF money into
his hands and told him TO go ahead
and whip Spain. The job was done
well and quickly. SO. now, there is
another big undertaking. The best
way, the quickest way, is to turn the
money and management over to the
President and tell him to dig.
There Is no danger Of misappropria -

The warming In a sneeze.

GAS a general thing sneezing is ma
ture's warning to get warmer in some
way or other, and quickly" is the gist
Of an article by DR.. W. r. COnant in
Modern Medical Science.
''The question of temperature and
ventilation" he says, sis one of the
most difficult winter problems. So
much depends upon circumstances and
individual idiosyncrasy that it is hard
to lay down any definite rules. An in
door temperature which is suitable for
a vigorous person or one in active mo-
ton is dangerous for one who is deli
cate or sitting and doing head work ex-
clusively.
"As a general rule. it may be said
that a temperature that falls much be-
low 20 degrees at four feet from the
floor is dangerous for sedentary work
ers, and any one who continues sitting
when he feels chilled does so at the
risk of his life"

DEATH RY AUTO.

FRANK II. CROKER was killed In
4 an automobile accident at Dayton
Ia, Florida, on Saturday. But the auto
races went right on when Monday
came.
Mr. Croker had experienced almost
every form OF accident that is possible
TO this modern sport, and met death at
last. For apparently to run an auto
at moderate speed is regarded as bad
form; TO annlhilate space is the only
form OF driving that meets with ap-
prevail
IL is safe to say that had a railroad
engineer met with as many mishaps
as had fallen to Mr.. Croker's lot, he
would have given up his job. Again
and again he hadd been ovorthrown,
had his machine smashed and been ar
rested for fast driving. But he was
engaged in "sport," and this modern
sport demands its victims.
It is said that this accident was not
due to Mr.. croker's negligence. but had
we had as many unpleasant experiences
as had fallen him we think we should
have taken up walking permanently
This automobile fad OF fast driving
is becoming a serious matter. for the

voters the opportunity to study them
and fix the ballot they intend to vote,
at their leisure.
In voting, the eiector is given an
envelope. and in the privacy OF the
booth he places his ballot in this, seals
it and hands it to the inspector. BY
this method there would be a secret
ballot. every man could have all the
assistance he desired. but the booth
itself would be a sacred place where
the voter would enter alone.
There may be minor points in Sem
aior Roses bill that are open to OBJ
lection. Certainly each provision

subjected to rigid examination. But as
basis for a new law we haven't the
slightest doubt that it has merit; and
with such an idea we trust that the
Legislature will come to consider IT,
For sooner or later the iniquitous
voters assistant law win be wiped off

being done it viii be well to carefully
revise the whole election machinery
