Sir James Crichton-B Browne, tine en-
tnent alienist. has just given the
newspaper press certificate as an
important safeguard Of the general
sanity 1T is the antidote to cor
roding egotism and gives a worldwide
horizon to the the purblind and short
sighted" This in sense is true, nor
can 1t be disputed that the press also
furnishes an easily digestible intel
lectual pabulum." Sir James likewise
speaks with a specialists authority,
one must suppose, when he says that
many man has been saved from
melancholy and faulty by his daily
papers, and concludes: Suppress
your newspapers and you will have
to enlarge your lunatic asylums." We
would gladly accept for ourselves
ans our colleagues tribute primarily
intended for the British press, and
we certainly will not venture to ohal-
lenge an expert on his own ground.
But before the newspaper cure Is
widely applied In our sanitariums, we
should be glad to have the opinion of
local alienists on few specific points,
says the New York Post. Does, for
example, that peculiar institution, the
colored supplement make for san
steadying effect for young girls to ven
tilate their blighted state and house
wives their MARTIAL grudges in col
umns entitled aid for the Enamor-
ed" For the Unequally Yoked," ETC.?
Sir James seems to regard the press
as a bulwark against depression mere
ly; but over-elation and hysteria are
also abnormal symptoms; and 1t is
possible that yellow journalism con-
tributes Just little too much to the
febrile gayety of this nation.

Quail starved to death by thousands
in the winter of 1904-05, but last win
ter they had an easy time except in
February and March, From Massa-
chusetts to Indiana the quail are so
scarce that restocking has become
necessary. The birds for this pur-
pose are hard to find. More than 1907
900 have been captured in Alabama
and the southwest, where they still
occur In abundance, and have been
shipped north for breeding. Even
this supply Is quite inadequate, and
may not last long. The quail, says
Country Life in America, is perhaps
our most popular game bird, and a
market will be found for all that can
be produced. Complete success has
been had In raising them on small
scale. Why should not some one go
into the business on such scale that
be could turn out 100000 quail per
year?

A notable fact about the vision Of
insects and one which 1t may be sur
posed must largely influence their
view Of the external world is the
number Of facets or lenses in COM
pound eyes. A German naturalist, X.
Linemann, has been painstaking
enough to count the number of facets
in the eyes of no fewer than $50 spe-
cies of beetle. He finds that in the
same species and sex the number
increases with the size of the body.
There is usually no permanent differ
ence between the sexes as to the
number of facets. Occasionally, how
ever, the difference is marked, as in
1.-THE case of lampyris splendidula, in
which the male has $500 and the fe-
male 300 One species, says the Phil
adelphia Record, is noted which has
the extraordinary number Of $4,000
facets In its eye. The number Of
facets is greater in the rapidly NOV.
ing active forms than in the more
sluggish species.

Wireless Teleqraphy.

Wireless telegraphy is steadily
growing In Importance, and our gov
eminent has been among the foremost
in turning the method to practical ac-
count. A plan is under way looking to
the creation of system in the Phil
ippines by which communication may
be had along the entire coast of those
islands through the establishment of
series of stations. The idea is already
in effect In this country, where
chain of government wireless stations
extends from Portland, Me-, to Gal
weston, Tex. The value of such sys-
tenn in communicating official orders,
conveying news of storms and for
other practical purposes has been
fully proved. There is need of like
arrangement in the Philippines. Wire
less telegraphy is not yet brought to.
perfection. There are many difficult
ties to overcome before communities,
ton can be invariably swift and GER,
tain, but the service is improving and
its extended use is justified.

The Speculative Farmer.

The speculative farmer! Does he
exist? He certainly does if the reports
are true that bucket shops" and
commission rooms" are being estab-
lished in the larger villages and towns
of the west, for such places would not
be opened up If there were not farmer
patrons to keep them running. But
one thing is certain, the speculative
farmer is not the progressive farm.

by experience and scientific study,
and to hard work, to make money,
while the former takes to the get.
quick-rich road which ends inevitably
in the loss of farm and stock and self.
respect. Here is the picture as the
correspondent of the Worlds Work
has seen it:
when in his slack time a farmer
visits the village to meet his neigh
bors and talk over family doings and
crop returns, he sees newly-opened
Office with spacious entrance, double
doors, and a plate-glass window. He
stops and looks. Within he hears,
Wheat S21S >. S3A :. S4%. He
enters, and is greeted by the neighbor
seated In comfortable leather chair.
The place begins to fascinate him; its
smokingroom and fresh cigar are Sc
ductive bats. He feels good, and finds
himself at home among neighbors. The
blackboard and it's columns Of chang
ing figures are entertaining; his neigh
Dor tells him of neat turn he made;
and as he watches the fluctuations in
wheat, oats and corn he thinks,
What's the harm in taking try my.
SELF?
HE buys, wheat; wheat rises two
points and he sells. From that hour
the man is changed. His spirits are
light that night, and as he sits at the
family fireside he takes out an extra
cigar and smokes with the enjoyment
of a man who feels that the days Of
easy money have come. The drudgery
of farm life seems a huge mistake
too slow for one who can hire help
and pay them out Of the easy profits
Of the tradingroom. Yet his thoughts
find no expression that his wife may
share his anticipations. All his life
she has been his safe counsellor; but
this little venture Is his own, and he
gloats over it.

not let his wife answer it. The mes
sage is, Send down $500 to sustain

TWO KILLED IN ACCIDENT.
II. VI. snyder, Capitalist and Promo
ter and IL ycar-Old boy
Killed at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 30-R. M.
Snyder, a capitalist and promoter Of
this city, and Arthur M. Rodell, a a.
year old boy were killed here Satur-
day evening in an automobile accident.
Mr.. Snyder was proceeding to his
home after the close of business in his
automobile driven by Frank Schroeder.
When near the intersection of Wood
land and Independence boulevard the
boy crossed the boulevard directly in
the path of the machine. In trying TO
avoid striking the boy the chauffeur
drove against the curb, but TOO late, the
car striking and knocking him several
feet The sudden veering Of the car
is thought to have thrown Mr.. Sny-
der partially from his seat, his head
striking an iron trolley pole and crush
ing his skull. The injured were both
taken to Agnew hospital where Mr..
Snyder died almost Immediately. The
boy lived only about two hours.
Mr.. Snyder was recently indicted in
st. Louis for bribery in franchise
deal.
Kansas City, Oct. 30.--A coroner's
jury has recommended that Frank
Schroeder, chauffeur for r. M. Sny-
der, be held for manslaughter in
the fourth degree, for running down
and killing Arthur M. Rodell, IA
yearold boy at Park avenue and In
dependence boulevard Saturday ev-
ening. The jury also found that r. M.
Snyder, who was thrown against a
trolley pole, "came to his death by
means to the jury unknown, while
riding in his motor car"

the only one who can hope for the best

" Weakley continues to be included
in the published list of contested coun-
ties. There is no contest in that conn
ty. Patterson has never thought of
making any Unless it be Wilson, no
contest anywhere has been made at his
suggestion. Bond will make no con-
test in Weakley. That county's vote
belongs to Cox. There is no ground
for contest in Giles or Shelby. The
same, we think, is true of Davidson.
Technical and frilolous contests can
not possibly operate in the interests of
the party, and should not be tolerated,
no matter what candidate or faction
may favor or oppose them. If the par
ty is guided by common sense and com
mon justice it can not go wrong, and
the people will approve it.
All that is asked by Gen. Patterson
is this common sense and common
justice" extOlled by the American. He
has not made his campaign at the ex-
pense of party harmony, but in the in
terest of that harmony. When the ex-
ecutive committees of the counties have
can vassed the returns of the votes and
put their seals of approval to these re-
turns Gen. Patterson has, in no case,
bolted from the decision and introduced
the harmony destroying contest.
In Weakley there was talk Of con-
test upon the part of Judge Bonds ad-
herents. Gen. Patterson had nothing
whatever to do with the threat, and if
there be a contest in that county he is
in no way responsible for it.
