Cleveland: The Best Governed City.

The best governed city 10 the Uni'ed
States is Cleveland, lincoln Sisttens
says, in his story of Olio in the July
McClure's.
''Tom Johnson Is the buslness man
for mayor that business men have
been prophesying so long must come
some day to give US a good business
administration of a city government
and now that be has come, Business
hates him because he has givei Cleve-
land not only good governmen but
representative government, not only
clean streets but clean tax Lists; he has
stopped not only blackmail' but
bribery; he tackled not only low-down,
petty police and political graft, but
high-toned, big, respectable, business
graft, both legitimate and lllegltimate.
Tom johnson is a reformed business
man. His reform began at home; be
reformed himself first, then he under
took political reform, and his political
reform began with the reform of his
own class.
ain Cleveland, we have as 1 write,
this spectacle: Two str%eet-rallway

city, President Andrews his stock
holders, negotiating in public Tor the
disposition of the street-railway

Swimmers Must BE Eat

The guest of Yale University whom
DR.. William G. Anderson, Director Of
the Gymnasium, describes in his article
IN ''Making a Yale Athlete, ; in the
July Everybody's, could not under.
stand why a certain group OF college
athletes should look so "soft."
The Director explained. "That Is
our championship swimming team.
No wonder you thought they looked
fat and luxurious. But a thin mar
doesn't stick to swimming as a sport.
BE becomes chilled before be is tired,
for the water sbsorbs heat from every
square inch of him. Those fellows
look as sleek as seals, but they are
well muscled beneath the adipose
tissue that keeps their bodies warm
while in the water. The swimmers
work hard in the gymnasium, but fine
muscular framework does not make
the fine swimmer. He has a natural
fCndness for the sport and builds
himself up for it. He is a pretty
confirmation Of this theory of athletic
selection"

r"Mark Twain iu North American Review ]
There is 20 power without clothes.
1t is the power that governs the human
race. Strip lis chiefs to the skin, and
no state could be governed; naked
officials could exercise no au hority;
they would look (and be) like every
body else-oommooplsce ineonsequen-
tial. A policeman in PLAIN clothes is
one man, in his uniform he is ten.
Clothes and title are the most potent
thing, the most formidable influence,
in the earth. They move the human
race to willing and spontaneous
respect for the judge, the general, the
admiral, the bishop, the ambassador,
the frivolous earl, the idiot duke, the
sultan, the king, the emperor. No
great title is efficient without clothes
to support it. In naked tribes of
savages the Kings wear some kind Of
rag or decoration which they make
sacred to themselves and allow no one
else to year.. The king Of the great
Fan tribe wears a bit of leopard skin
on his shoulder-it is sacred of royalty;
the rest Of him is perfectly naked.
Without this bit of leopard skin 10
awe and impress the people he would
moi be able to keep his job.

Blue Monday for Lemons.

The process of washing and sorting
lemons is a very delicate one and is
done automatically. Great care must
be taken that no fruit is bruised or
injured in any way, for much Of it
goes to the extreme eastern market.
The machine which washes and sorts
the fruit is first carefully adjusted and
then tested by running an egg through
it. II the egg goes through without
breaking, the machine is considered to
be properly adjusted for the lemons.
After washing and sorting, the fruit is
cured by placing under canvas cover
for six weeks. At the end OF that
time it can be shipped safely without
ice FROM Los Angeles to Boston.

some person in the bureau Of sta

larger membership and stronger

fore, actually including among its
recruits one Or more county Off
Gals.
The policy inaugurated by.
Judge Wilkinson is the sound and
wise one, and If adhered to, will
permanently destroy white capism
in Lincoln county that is, to
send to the penitentiary and hold
there as the law prescribes white
cappers guilty, and who have been
convicted of, felonies; and in case
of other members under indict-
ment, suspend prosecution and
hold the indictments against them,
to be called up and prosecuted in
case there is a revival Of white
capism in the county in the fu-
ture. In the carrying out Of this
policy Judge Wilkinson has the
backing of Gov. Vardaman and
the Law and Order League and
other good citizens of Lincoln
county, and there is no reason for
believing they will deviate from
it. True, not all the white cap
pers of Lincoln county who ought
to be in the pen have been caught
and convicted, but, in view of the
county's past experience, there
could be no greater folly than to
pardon the ones who have been
caught and sent there for their
crimes.
