The New York Tribune in
an excellent editorial sees in
the chautauquas the fact that
country communities far out
strip the metropolitan cities in
intellectual ambition. This is
particularly so in the middle
west. The city folks are look
ing for pleasure. The country
folks desire to mix some self
development in theirs. They
sire thus better thinkers ard
better voters. By the chaI-
tauqua movement they listen
TO men and women of national
reputation and are thus brought
in touch with the best though t
nd highest ideals of the day.

A translation of an article in
a st. Petersburg magazine de-
:cribes the use of a new electric
] ght cure by Russian physi-
clans. Blue light is employed,
and, if the physicians are cor
rect, it has proved remarkably
effective in the treatment of
hemorrhages, skin diseases, in
tlammation, neuralgia, rheum-
atism and nervous diseases.
Perhaps we shall hear later
that we can obtain perpetual
health simply by using blue
electric light bulbs in our
homes instead of transparent.

President Stuyvesant Fish of
the New York Central is fond
of telling people of the advant-
ages of economy as a national
trait. He figures that if each
of the eighty-five million peo-
pie under the flag saved only 5
cents a day it would represent
the enormous annual total, for
the nation, of $1.5OO,0OO, 900.
Very few people in these days
of extravagant expenditures
realize what small savings
mean. Many because they can
not save large sums, refuse to
care for the odds and ends.
When looked at from a national
point of view it presents IL seri-
Gus aspect. Take care f the
pennies and the pounds will
take care Of them-- elves, said
wise old Ben Franklin. He
ought to be read more by poor
people.
We are Pleased to note that
the Democrats of the Shelby
Cass Senatorial District have
nominated for Senator, DR.. j.
M. .Emmert, of Atlantic. No
better man could have been Sc
lected for the position, a posi-
tion he once filled with honor,
and one to which, it is generally
believed, the people reelected
him, but the decision was re-
versed by the Legislature, but
now, the voters of that district
have a chance to right the mat
ter by electing the Doctor by
such a majority that no party
will dare to over ride it.
Well, the big prize fight is
over and the negro Cans is the
winner, but presume the world
will move on just the same.
Just think of a forty-two round
fight, and then have one Of the
fighters deliberately slug the
other and spoil the fun-well,
that is the way of the ring.
The Italian laborers, who
have been working on the track
in the local yards, were paid off
this morning. They congre-
gated at the depot to wait for
the Sioux City No. 6, waiting
for their checks, and it was
amusing to watch them ges-
ticulate while conversing.
When the checks arrived they
were taken to the bank for
their money and later the post
office did a rushing business in
the way of money orders. One
good thing about the Italian
laborers, they know the value
of a dollar and put it away for
future use instead Of spending
it foolishly.
1t had been a strenuous af-
ternoon for the teacher, who
took six of her pupils through
the Museum of Natural His
tory, but her charges had en-
joyed every minute of the time.
"Where have you been, boys?"
asked the father Of two of the
party that night, and the an
swer came back with Joyous
promptness:: "We've been to
a dead circus"

a IL mile drive would be a lit
flo too strenuous for ns en- fail.

The Railway Age calls at
tention forcibly to the provi-
sion of the new railway rate
law which makes shippers liable
to $4,000 fines and imprison-
'1lent for false billing, under
J illing, false weighing and
ther improper practices. Here
after those who indulge in
these practices will do so at
their great peril, especially
since the railways have SEEM
ingly determined to make the
new statute odious by enforc-
ing it with the utmost rigid
ness. But apart from that con-
sideration, shippers ought to
refrain from those practices.
The doctrine of the square deal
is what the president sought to
have embodied in the new law,
and all who deal with the rail-
ways ought to be willing to re-
<ceive uniform treatment from
the carriers. It is only that
spirit which will make the law
effective. Each citizen owes it
us a duty to make it effective
and not help emasculate it or
nullify it.

STARVING FOR PAY.

Queer people in this world. One
Sacco in London, volunteered to fast
for forty days for prize of $4,000
and won the money.
Crowds focked to see the man who
lived and did not eat A band played
at intervals, and the people who
passed by Sacco's couch were able to
work up real pity at sight of his hol-
lowed cheeks and emaciated condi-
ton. The starvation show was
financial success, for thousands paid
to see a man starve who did not have
to starve.
The other side. A few blocks
away from the hall in which Sacco
was testing his endurance, lies
squalid London and whole families
who are starving and whose distress
is so complete and tragic that the
sight of it should bring tears.
There was Lizzie Edwards, aged
thirteen, who was found in shed,
where she had been for eight days
without food. There was family of
S6YGu WuOSS uGdu 1dO DSS4 OuJ VI
work six months. There were children
by the score who walk daily a mile
and a half for a basin of free soup.
And outside the soup kitchen men
stand like hungry wolves to devour
what the children leave. There are
women who have gladly scrubbed and
washed windows for six cents a day
day in order to buy bread for their
loved ones. Other women are glad to
do a big family washing for twelve
cents because necessity drives them
to it. The children must eat or die.
There are 100000 hungry and hope
less poor in the city of London. And
well-fed society focked to see a man
go without food for stake of $500
and paid good money to see the sight.
1t is a queer world. One must be
an optimist not to add 'and heart
less one"

WOMEN DECIDE TO CROSS THE
PRESIDENT.
HOME CHARITY SUFFICIEET
Contributions From the American
People Declared Ample to Meet All
Requirements of the Situation and
No Help From Abroad Is Desired,
According to Roosevelt.

New York, April 25.-The California
club of women yesterday decided to
accept donations from foreigners in
opposition to the stand taken by
President Roosevelt. A resolution to
that effect was unanimously adopted.
The resolution recognizes the cor
rectness of the presidents position,
but believes the denial of the right
to contribute ION the ground OF Ia
tionality is wrong, harmful and with
out precedent" The resolution fur
Their says that Americans have never
been excluded from giving their aid
and sympathy in cases OF European
disasters, and concludes with the
declaration that the club will receive
foreign as well as domestic contribu-
tons and see that they are placed
where they will do the most good.
President Refuses to Change.
Hon Theodore Roosevelt President
of the United Staes, Washington, d, c.
Your statement is reported in the
German press as declining assistance
from foreigners for the San Francisco
sufferers. Will you allow us to cor
rect this false impression so that our
friends in Germany may be permitted
to follow the dictates of their heart
and contribute?
Herman Ridder, New York Stats
Zeitung."
Herman Ridder, New York Stats
Zeitung Your kind message to the
president is received. The spontane-
Gus contributions of the American
people have been ample to meet all
requirements and the proffers of aid
from all other parts of the world have
been so in excess Of all needs that to
avoid any discrimination it was de-
termined best to- accept no outside
help. The president wishes the Ger
man people to understand how deeply
We appreciate their hearty symathy
and that We are quite as grateful to
them for their fraternal and humani-
tartan motives as we would be did it
seem possible to accept their gener.
Gus aid.
