Turn the RascaIs Out.

President Roosevelt will not lose anything and the republican party will not lose anything by an unrelenting campaign against every case of dis honesty in the public service.
 Democrats may grow wildly excited in the usual democratic way over the scandals" in various departments, but the people of the United States have far too much sense to be misled by their clamor.
 What really hurts party is not the exposure and punishment of official wrongdoing, but the attempt to cover it up.
 The investigations that are now be- ing carried forward and the punish ments past and prospective, of those guilty of misconduct, are precisely what the people want and expect.
 The fact that the republican party is able to weed out its black sheep is the best possible proof that 1t is worhy of the confidence that has been placed in it by the people and the best possible evidence that it should be continued in control of the public af- fairs.

The Judgment of Komura.

Since Paris awarded the golden ap- pleple to Aphrodite history has dfnned the perils threatening him who sits in judgment between women. The world has waited long for so safe and rational a procedure as the faithful Mir. SatO, of the Japanese peace em- bassy. ascribes to Baron Komura.
 They held a series of contests on the Pacific liner coming over. Three these. It fell to Baron Komura to select the winner. Some timOrous Americans proposed to compromise by drawing lots. But not so Baron KOmura. Ha has too thorough a train ing in the ways of Japan to leave any thing to chance. In his country, he said age is held in the highest respect The prize must be given to the oldest of the three womne. By his decision it went to a fair contestant who claim ed to be over sixty.
 Our western women are hard to please in the matter of years. They are eager to reach a sufffcing age and then would Ioiter not too far beyond it the rest of their lives. in spite of paling cheeks and telltale crOw's-feet. Baron Komura offers a moral code based on rewards and penalties. It makes for truth telling. It reverses the old rule by handicapping youth and taking off weight for age. It makes it easier to grow old gracefully.
 The Japanese plan adjusts differ ences of skill on the gOlf-links and prowess in the ball room. Every wo- man must be frank. It would be dis courteous to have to go to the birth records

A RussIan Electoral System.

Have the Russian bureaucrats come to their senses? The governments plan just made public at St Peters burg naturally raises this question. The plan comes almost like a re- sponse to the appeal mede by the zemstvoists to all Russia. Tt is time for the people to act" they say. "They must meet openly and discuss the best means for the attainment of reforms regardless of the frowns of the au- thorities. This is the way of peace. This alone will prevent the shedding of torrents of blood and save thous- ands of innocent lives. Against the expressed opinion of the united nation no amount of illegality or the arbi- trary exercise of authority can pre- vail" The reports at hand are too fragmentary to admit of a clear idea of the governments plan in detail but the following seem to be it's principal points: Soldiers. persons under the age of twenty-five years, foreigners, governors and vice governors of pro vinces. prefects and police authorities, nOmads. and persons deprived of civil rights are excluded from the franchise, as are women except under certain qualifications. in which case they will have a vote to be delegated to a hus- band or son. For St. Petersburg. Moscow. and the larger towns the voters must be owners of land and house property exceeding three thous- and rubles (about S1.5OO) in value. For the provinces a property qualif- cation of only fifteen hundred rubles is required. The elections for the na- tional assembly are to be by secret ballot, and an absolute majority is necessary The assembly may select it's own officers, including its presi- dent. and may discuss any matters of a legislative character. Finally, the committee of ministers actually rec Ommends that the assembly be author ized to examine all appointments to the different ministries and to put questions to ministers on affairs with in its jurisdiction! That such scheme should be proposed by the Russian government is perhaps the most impressive evidence yet at hand of real political progress where des- potism has so long prevailed.

Literature as an Aid to Industry.

John Fiske, in one of his essays, tried to show the superiority Of Greek over American civilization by citing Herodotus reading his history to the crowds gathered for the Olympic games. and then asking if we could imagine MT. Parkman. for example. holding the attention of the crowd at an American race track or baseball game by reading aloud from his his torical writings. We discover an ar ticIe in the New York Bookman, how ever, which suggests that in the case of Cuba MT. Fiske's striking cOmpari- son might lose some of it's effective ness. MT. James H. Collins. the au- thor of the article tells us that vlr- tually every large cigar factory in Ha- vana has one or more paid readers whose business it is to read aloud for three hours a day to the tabaqueros while they work. These readers are employed by the tabaqueros them selves. Each cigar maker contributes fifteen cents a week, and the fund thus created goes to buy books and to pay the readers salary, which ranges from $50 to S60 a week Part of the time each day is devoted to the newspapers. and part to novels or poems, chosen by vote. 'In the liter ary sense" writes MT. Collins, "the selections are of conspicuOusly high character. and lead an American to wonder what sort Of a comparative showing would be made if such d GUS tom were adopted into the average American factory" To quote from his more specific statements:
 "'Quo Vadis' was elected by 1SO votes in one of the Cabanas factorys galeras recently defeating 'Pere Co., riot by 30 ballots. The choice falls oftenest on modern novels. and those of Spain are preferred because a wid- CT range is possible. Perez Galdos is a favorite author. and each new celeb ri,y in Spanish fiction quickly gets his hearing in the Havana factories. Among English novels read are Van ity Fair Oliver Twist A Tale of Two Cities and others of greater mel odramatic interest. as the books of Will<ie Collins and Hugh Conway. Senor MunoZ, chief reader in the Ca banas factory had never heard of Hall Caine or Marie Coreln and said that only such English works as are to be had in Spanish come up for choice. Some of the English poets are favorites, Byron in particular being read repeatedly. Poetry is staple in the reading. long poems frequently be- ing chosen instead of novels. Shakes peare is not unknown. Only one Amer

pr. Gan Shimose, the chemist-inven- tor of that wonderful explosive Shi- nose powder, used by the Japanese army and navy was born, according to the Indianapolis News, in the hum blest circumstances in the province of Hiroshima, forty-seven years ago, when railways and steamships were practically unknown in the island em- pire. Very early Shimose, determined to win an education. made his way to the capital, borrowed books to stu dy. and, though often on the verge of starvation, was graduated from the Imperial university with the highest honors. His first invention was a cu- rious ink, now used in Japan for bank notes. The secret of it's composition is absolute and commercials are in- stantly detected. Recognizing that the powder in use in Japan was ex- tremely unsatisfactory, Shimose turn ed his attention to the invention of new powder and spent eleven years in perfecting it, often working entire days and nights in his laboratory.

ican book has ever had the honor of repeated reading in Havana cigar fac tories the readers say. that fell into disuse about ten years ago. It was Uncle Toms Cabin Some books are elected and reelected. just as favorite plays are revived. Victor Hugo is an unfailing favorite, while no year pass es in any Havana cigar factory. it is said. without a reading of Don Quix- Ote'"
 The institution of reading aloud in the factories, we are told. was estab- lished in 1878 by Senor Saturnino Mar tinez, then a tabaquero. and now dis tinguished Cuban poet. It arose from two conditions. the high price of books and the inability of many of the ci- gar makers to read. Of the readers MT. Collins writes further:
 Some of the readers found in 1a- vGna factories today are men of mea- ger education, but others are of mark ed intelligence and ability. Secretary Morua, of the Cuban senate. was for merly a reader. and Senor Ambrosio BOrges, one of the orators of the Gu ban house, was sent to the legislature from the readers box. Senor Victor MunOZ IS not only a reader III the Cabanas factory, but one of the edi- tors of Fl Mundo, a Havana daily pa per, and head of the information bu- reau of the Cuban senate. He has read in Havana for sixteen years. The readers position has natural advan- tages for an ambitious man capable of making opinion, even though choice of reading is so largely in the hands of the cigar makers"

Senator Plumb Gf Kansas was
physical giant, athletic and ceaseless
worker, as we'll as tireless, says
ritter in the Los Angeles Times. One
of his assistants was as large as he
was and as good worker; but once
in three or four months he would
give way to an inordinate thirst for
beer, which incapacitated him for
work four or five days, or sometimes a
whole week. On one of these occa-
siOns, when Senator Plumb particular
ly needed him, the Senator introduced
a resolution in the Senate forbidding
the sale of any kind of liquor to en-
plOyes of Senators or of the Senate,
and he delivered an impassioned
speech in favor of the resolution.
The preceding evening Senator
Plumb had been dallying a bit with
