An Eye Test.

Most people believe that they see the
same with both eyes. That this is not
the case one can easily convince him
self by the following simple expert
ment: Cover one of the eyes with a
hand or bandage and let the expert
menter attempt to SNUFF out candle
suddenly placed within few feet Of
him., He will almost invariably miss
the fame, either overreaching. under
reaching or putting the fingers too far
to the right or left Of the fame. With
both eyes normal and open the accom-
mediation for distance and direction Is
instantaneous.

Lincoln Stsffens On Ohio.

Lincoln Steffens has found good
government in Ohio. Not in the state
administration and not throughout the
cities but IN Cleveland. "Ohio; A
Tale Of Two Cities" in the July
McClure's, is the story of Cleveland
and Of Cincinnati the best and the
worst governed cities in the United
States. Two powerful personalities
dominate the story and gives it vivid
life, Hanna and Tom Johnson.
Lincoln Steffens clears away all
o~bstructing %qulbbles and in terse and
vigorous English blocks out the vital
issue, the same here as everywhere,
whether our government shall represent
the voters or the bosses. The men
are clear-out types Of the best and the
worst Of US politically, and so are the
cities. Ohio is the story Of the whole

Mr.. Steffens, 'they have a public
opinion and they make it count. 1t
has got for Cleveland representative
government and in Tom Johnson "the
best mayor of the best-governed city
in the United States" johnson has
given Cleveland "a good business

but at the same time representative
government. There is no low-down
political graft in his administration,
but neither is their big, respectable
business graft, therefore ''big business"
is down on him and defeated In
Cleveland has carried the fight against
this "social-anarchist-nihllist Gas
Hanna named Johnson) into the state,
and through the Legislature has nulli6ed
his power. The fight is still on, and
Lincoln Steffens sees signs OF promise.
"The people are beginning to see
things even in Cincinnati. The forces
Of evil, beaten in the city, hold the
state. The forces of good, winning in
Cleveland, fighting in Toledo, hopeful.
in Cincinnati, to hold their own, mus
carry Ohio. Ohio-the whole state
has to make the choice, the choice WI
all have to make; Cleveland Of

hope in the story Of Cleveland who's
citizens govern themselves and hav
further learned that Representative
government cannot stop with the cit
but must continue into the stat
which has robbed their mayor q
power.
