CLEANING UP PHILADELPHIA.

| The work of uncovering the fraudu-
lent registration in Philadelphia goes on
and, as it progresses, the wonder is not
that the machine has been able TO run
up such tremendous majorities, but
| that the majOrities have not been big
! ger. The people of Philadelphia have
been promised honest elections here
! after and Mayor Weaver seems deter
mined to carry that promise into eff
feet however, a lot OF work in rid
ding the city of fraudulent registra-
tons is still to be done.
Up to date some 80. 600 fictitious names
have been discovered on the books In
one voting district 2s4 names were reg
istered. OF this number 227 have been
shown 10 be fictitious This is perhaps
an extreme case but there are others
almost equally as bad. The discovery
that fifty and sixty per cent of the
registrations in gang districts were
fraudulent has not been considered at
all uncommon 1t was, indeed, ex-
peeted. That more frauds are under
cover is demonstrated from a glance
at the figures.
The population of Philadelphia today
may be roughly put at 100000. The
census Of 1900 showed 1928, 200. There
were, before the reform wave swept
over Philadelphia, 3s2. 239 names on the
registration lists. The voting strength
of the city's population where. as in
Philadelphia, the women do not vote, is
TO the total population as one is to five.
On this ratio. which is generally recog-
nized as absolutely fair. there are &C.,
GOO voters in Philadelphia This leaves
112.2S9 unaccoUnted for. or. after
erasing the $1,000 already stricken, we
find Philadelphia still has $4,000 frau
dulent voters.
Practically the whole Republican ma
jOrity given in the city of Philadelphia
at the election last year was made up
of fraudulent votes. An honest cleo
ton would have almost, il not quite,
given the city to the Democrats, on the
theory that both sides polled their full
honest strength. Il is high time they
were having honest elections in PhiFa-
delphia- Only the dishonest voters
have kept the gang in power there. And
if Philadelphia can he cleaned there will
be hope for the entire state. hope that
PenrOse and his henchmen may be
thrown out Of Office.
The election of Democratic nominees
is unimPortant- The important thing is
the election of clean, able citizens. and
this cannot be done as long as the gang
controls the ballot boxes

HEAT HERE AND ABROAD.

Now that the backbone Of the hot
spell has been bent. at least in few
OF It's sections, we can quit worrying
about our own suffering and turn our
attention to the trials Of others. For
example, in "deah old Lunnon" they
have been having a torrid spell. The
London Express of July 10 calls atten-
lion TO it in these words:
"A sun that looked as if it was melt
ing with heat glared out Of still and
unciOuded blue sky. The streets friz-
zled like a brick oven. Cold water tars
emitted tepid fluid. and ice cream was
OF the consistency of tapIoca pudding.
1t was hot even on a river steamboat
and the scorching blast from the en-
CINE room made one think % tho

And yet on the day or which the TX
press speaks so eloquently tho tneg-
mometer registered only 81 degrees as
a maximum. With that sort OF tenn
perature over here we begin thinking
about winter underwear. and nghs over
coats. However. there were twenty
prostrations from the heat in the Eng
lish metropolis and several deaths The

ton is explained by the stateipers that

FOUND AT WIPES TOMB.
Aged Man Was Unconscious and May
 Not Recover.

New York, March 23.-Unconscious and apparently dying. aged Jonathan heed, retired business man of Brooklyn, was found lying on the stone floor of his wife's granite tomb in the cemetery of the Ewergreens today. and his removal to hospital followed. The patient had suf- fered stroke of apoplexy as he sat in the lonely enclosure as was his daily cus- tom for more than seven years. Reed was still breathing faintly when the ambulance surgeon arrived. and it was said that he had fair chance of recovery.
 Shortly after the death of his wife Reed applied to the cemetery authorities for permission to place a cot in the tomb so he could spend all his time there. This being refused. he furnished the tomb and spent his days there. carrying on im- aginary conversation with the dead.

 By beggaring himself when a bank al Jacksonville in which he was interest ed failed, he attracted wide attention. He turned over his private fortune, estimated at S5O0,000, which enabled the bank to pay s7 cents on the dollar. He was an eminent physician, had been president of the bank which collapsed and held many positions of honor and trust in Illinois. He was born in Kentucky in 1923.

National League Not Back of Raid by

Cleveland. O., March 23.-Frank DeHaas Robinson, president and owner of the St Louis baseball club. said tonight re- garding the reported raid by minor leagues upon the American league:
 If the reported raid on the American league of it's stars by the minor leagues means anything more than talk, 1t must mean not only cash investment of s2C0,- 900. but bond for three times that amount, for no major league star is apt to join minor league unless his future is assured for at least three years. Need less to say, the National league positively is not back of the movement"

pure, and has practically sacrificed his life to this noble task
 MT. Huntington has kept the fact rather secret that his stock was from the family from which came the Darley Arabian. Recently, on account of his age, he sold his stock to younger men, two artists, who agreed to go on with the philanthropic work of keeping this species alive. They have several stall lions and several mare of this family, each one of which 1 unhesitatingly state Is worth a king ransom. You may bet ter appreciate this when I state that in my country I have heard the expression of willingness to give 5000OO rubles Tor one or two Arabian mares of this family. As you know, the Russian government has Arabian stalllons which they have crossed with native horses to produce the famous Russian Orloff. am in hopes that our government will take advantage of the fact that these mares are In ex- istenee, and will arrange with these two artists for the purchase of some of their progeny.
 I think it Is a great shame that the American poole do not realize the value of the Arabian horse, especially as you have no type of horse in America at all. Your Kentucky thoroughbred Is an En- glsh thoroughbred, and the English thor oughbred Is a development from the Arabian, just as the Orloff and the Perch eron horses are. If you people in Ameri- ca only knew 1t, you could produce any kind of horse from some of these won derful Arabians owned by the Hunting ton Stud It is a pity that the govern ment will not take them up in their en- tirety, as the Russian government has done with the Orloff horse. If your gov ernment did this, they could produce whatever type they chose and issue thelr progeny in annual sales. with the govern ment guarantee of pedigree. If they did this, your country would soon have na- tional type, which it could export as an American horse.
 You would not have to prove this by experiment, for Mir. Huntington has al- ready proved it by producing a type from Henry Clay daughters. have seen and ridden behind these horses this week in Oyster Bay, and finer road horse have never seen in any country For beauty, grace, endurance and action, they astonish me, but the reason for 1t, as have said before is the primitive blood of these wonderful Arabian horses. The world will owe l..r. Huntington and these two gentlemen a great debe in keeping alive this wonderful blood which in horse flesh Is the seed of the world.

large the results of years of labor In the shape of valuable patent Is that now under consideration. Dr. Moore's process, discovered by a series of scientific ex periments. Is one by which the crops of all leguminous plants can be enormously increased. This class embraces all whose products grown in pods. such as garden peas field peas, COW peas and all vari- cities of beans It also includes alfalfa, red clover and alsike. all of which are most valuable forage plants
 Dr. Moores discovery consists of a mthod of inoculating the roots of these plants with certain bacteria, which have the quality of aceumulating and fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere and the soil to an extent that greatly stimulates the growth and productivity of the plants. Involved in this is one of the most important problems lying at the founda- ton of agriculture. Investigators in Eu- rope. as well as In America, have been endeavoring to find out how to obtain nitrogen-ixing bacteria in pure culture for distribution, but the successful and practical solution of the problem was re- served for Dr. Moore. The officials of the National Department of Agriculture porous and independent. So to this list of rights to the discovery he could have made a large fortune out of it. but he has say that if Dr. Aloore had retained his of trust to the Agricultural Department A more splendid gift was never made in any country and though primarily for the benefit of farmers. 1t will, of course. rebound to the advantage of all persons who consume the fruits of agriculture Dr. Moore. who Is a native of Indiana, has enrolled his name among the great benefactors of the human race and. as scientist and philantropist will rank high on the scroll of those who deserve the gratitude of all the people. The effect of the discovery. which has been fully tested by practical experiments on large scale. will be greatly to increase the crops of all leguminous plants and to enable them to be cultivated successfully
 in soil which. heretofore. would not sus- tain them. In other words 1t will add greatly to a class of crops which. besides their market value, are very valuable in improving the quality and productivity of the soil in which they grow. The dis covery Is one of the most important ever made in the field of agricultural science and will be welcomed by scientists and farmers in all civilized countries.

DISCOVERY IS IMPORTANT.
Prof. Loeb Can Infuse Life Into Sea
 Uschin's Eggs.

Chicago, March 2s.-A dispatch to the Tribune from San Francisco, Cal. says:
 Professor Jaques Loeb has discovered in producing artificial life by fertilizing the eggs of the sea urchin that they were best fertilized by the use of acetic acid or vinegar or formic acid. followed by common salt.
 Large numbers ow sea urchin larvae. normal and healthy. can be reduced from eggs by purely chemical and physical means. Many students Of heredity have long been looking for means of raising animals in large enough numbers for ex- periments- which should possess the hered- itary characters of one parent only
 Detailed comparisons of such individ- uals with those which derive their char acters from both parents will lead to re- suits in the field of heredity of far-reach- ing importance.
