WHERE FUSION EAlLEp.

The republicans of New York could
not swallow Hearst.
The election of Tuesday which re-
suited in a sweeping Tammany VIC
tory over the Hearst Republican fusion
ticket demonstrated that If republi-
cans had voted the ticket, their votes
added to the strength of the Indepen-
dence league would have buried Tam
many completely. But the republicans
did not vote the ticket. They. prefer
red defeat to victory bought at such a
price.
BY what devious method of reason
ing Chairman Parsons of the republi-
can county committee reached the
conclusion he could turn the republi-
cans of New York or any place else
over to Hearst is hard to imagine. OF
course he reasoned that there would
be large number of voters who would
cast a straight party ticket, but he
might have foreseen that more voters
would jump from the band wagon
when Hearst stepped in than followed
the cratic, four-f1ush editor-reformer
In.
AS for Mr.. Hearst there is no need
to weep for his defeat. 1t has become
such an old story to him that any
other result might have serious conse-
quenceS.

..REFoRMlNe ON THE QUIET.

Occasionally some individual comes
to the conclusion That things are all
awry, that crime is spreading, poverty
increasing and that the world gener-
ally is going from bad TO worse. Some
times these individuals come from the
clergy or the press, and then the pub
lie is given a few doses of pessimism
in oral Or written form Usually this
is kept up for time and then drop
ped when some new public question
arises, and conditions remain the same
as before. Touching upon this char
acteristic of the human race, the Rev.
Thomas C. Hall Of New York took oc.
casion while addressing a meeting In
Chicago to say:
Too much time is wasted by re-
formers in discussing methods of work
when they might be engaged putting
in good ticks in the cause of the mucn
needed upiift among the poor and
miserable who care nothing about
methods, but are starving for mental
solace and physical sustenance."
Just little less talk Of the evils
that exist, and just little more sin
cere effort to correct and remove
these evils, this is the way the Rev.
Mr.. Hall believes reforms should prop
erly be conducted. And if there Is any
thing left to reform after the strenu-
GUS efforts of the last two years it
might be well for the reformers Of the
future to look into his plan before
adopting what is now tne accepted
method

A Chicago night school teacher
whose class. consists largely of adult
foreign pupils mas devised new meth
cd Of teaching them English.
Instead of calling them by taeir
baptismal names, she names her pupils
for a week after the produce of the
packers. you are a sausage" she
says to one. To another. you are a
pork chop" and to the third, "You are
a ham," again, you are a lobster.
This week her pupils are fruits. One
Is a lemon. Others are an orange. a
lime, a banana, a plum, and SO on.
This is all right as far as it goes.
But what would be the result, for i'll
stance if she should call one of her
Irish pupils an "Orange," and be un,
derstood as saying "Orangeman? and
what If she called another peach"
and he was sufficiently familiar with
English to accept the challenge? Or
If she should in naming her class for
products of the grocery call one of
her German pupils barrel of sauer-
kraut." or one Of the Italian boys a
bunch OF spaghetti"

A New York doctor has discovered a
cure for badness. His plan is to
throw the rays of a powerful incandes-
cent light on the hairless head, which
operates to stimulate vegetation. An
enthusiast who witnessed his first ex-
periments had this to say of it:
First he threw the light on po-
tato. In just seven minutes it looked
like a. full bearded cocoanut. He tnrew
the light around the room and every
object it touched was in line for hair
cut and a shave. AS supreme test
he focused the flame on a mahogany
table, and presently bright red
fringe made its appearance
The doctor goes further. He claims
tnat by substituting different colored
globes he can raise any color of hair
desired. This is to reassure those
that might prefer badness to red hair.
He adds that when the hair gets
