LENGTH OF LIFE.

In what proportions credit for the
lengthening of human life should be
given to Pasteur's revolutionary dis
coveries, to public sanitation and to
personal hygiene it is not easy to de-
eide, but concerning the effect of these
combined agencies there can be no
question. A hundred years ago fifty
out of every, thousand inhabitants in
London died annually. Half a century
later the mortality has been reduced
more than one-half Today in Europe
or America a death rate which exceeds
twenty in a thousand is regarded as
abnormal, not to say discreditable. In
the United States it is at present about
eighteen for cities and fourteen for
rural districts.-New York Tribune.

MORE SUGGESTIONS.

There has not been a legal hanging
in Kansas in many years, and under
the law as it stands there probably
never would be one. But our legisla-
ture, anxious to do something but UNI
willing to do the things promised,
comes to the front and passes a bill
doing away with capital punishment
which was done away with many years
ago. Now if our wise lawmakers will
pass a bill prohibiting hot winds in
January and billiards. in August, We'll
be all right.-Mankato Advocate.

KANSAS COMMEHT
PARTY ETHICS.


Inc yellow dog days of American
poIltlcs nave passed. Parties must
give men reasons for voting with
them, other than traditions and .geog-
raphy. The time has gone by in this
land of education when a man can
successfully crack the party whip and
make wrong appear right, and the
party good the larger good-the aim
for which it is necessary to strive at
any sacrifice. The school and the
newspaper are making men think. and
thinking men won't swallow balder-
dash, merely because a leader gives it
70 them. When men say of another,
He is wrong, it does not suffice to
answer: He is strong Slowly as
the forces of the spirit-schools,
churches, newspapers, lecture bureaus,
books and agazines-become more
ana more important in American life,
Americans are widening the area in
which they see the right and wrong
and know them apart And rapidly
the sun is rising over the area of right
and wrong in partisan politics. Read
this from the Concordia Kansan-a
staunch Republican paper:
The man who does most for his
party is the one who has courage suf-
ficient to criticise it's leaders when
wrong, and to uphold it most strenu-
ously when right. The man who can
not see any fault within his own party,
and deems it his bounden duty to ex-
alt his party leaders, right or wrong,
has little force in bringing new re-
cru1ts to the party standard. The test
of party fealty is measured by the
faithfulness of the newspaper or the
voter in supporting the nominees of
his party convention till the polls are
closed on election day. To worship at
their shrine ever afterward, right or
wrong. is political peonage unworthy
a right thinking man. This paper be-
lives in partisan politics. We also be-

and measures before the convention

Write On Either Side.

Those who desire to send lone

mail and at a saving of | cent
per communication will have
that opportunity after March I
next, when the new ruling on
postal cards goes into effect.
This order is explained by Post

these words:
Inc universal postal conven-
clon recently concluded in the

admission of the mails, exchange
ed between all the countries of
the postal union, on and after

domestic mails of certain princip-
al countries of the union and TO
the mails exchanged between
them:
Therefore, from the date of
tnls order, post cards conforming
10 the provisions of the Rome
convention, when mailed in
foreign countries and fully pre-
pared by postage stamps, shall
De delivered to addresses in the

Wants To Kill
Rich Nevadan.

A woman claiming to be the
wife of George Wingfeld, the
goldfeld millionaire, stepped
from an automobile at the st.
Francis Hotel San Francisco and
forced her way past the watch
man at the door, waving a pistol
and declaring her intention of
killing Wingfeld if he did not
comply with her demand for
money. A policeman arrested
the woman and took her to the
station. There she became hys-
terical and had to be taken in the
patrol wagon to the Central
Emergency hospital, where she
remained until 9 o'clock.
Although the woman claims to
be Wingfield's wife she gave the
name of Olivette Barrie, when
arrested. Her home is at San
Jose and she says she came up
yesterday for the purpose of
forcing Wingfield to pay her
money. Wingfeld denies that
she is his wife.

TO CULTIVATE THE
MEADOW VALLEY.

Looking toward the develop.
ment of the territory through
which the Salt Lake Route pass
es, active operations will be com
menced today, boring for ar
teslan wells in the district be-
tween Moapa and Acton; or,
speaking more definitely, the
Meadow Valley Wash says the
Salt Lake Tribune. The Wash
runs through the middle of a val
ley some ten miles long. On
each side Of the wash lies land
OF rich fertility, only requiring
moisture to make it the most
productive in the West.
There are some 10000 acres
that can be made to yield a crop
OF grain or fruit that will equal
anything grown within the con-
fines of the Golden State: water
alone has been lacking to bring
about this much desired RESULT
To achieve this end MACHINERY
has been brought from San
Bernardino by Mr.. Gauser and
boring operations will begin to-
day. Tests that have been made
demonstrate there is a large
underfiow of water. Digging
down from the bottom of the
wash a distance of six feet, wa
ter has been found, and excaya-
tons in the valley have reached
water ' at a debth of eighteen
feet.
These have only been test ex-
perlments; no concentrated effort
has ever been made until now TO

ment should prove successful
and that large and permanent
streams should be brought to the
surfsce. Between Caliente and
Moala there is a fall of 5000 feet.
1t is a natural conclusion that at
no great depth there should be a
subttrranean flow of no in
considerable dimensions and of a
permanent nature, and judging
from the tests made the Meadow

it.

SAVED 6YA DOG.

Nevada State Journal. Gave tn

OF Chlis Jepperson and Jac
Reynolds. the miners who wer
lost in the snow at Lone Pine an
who We're searched for by tn
posse all last night. When foun,
early this morning Jeppersol
and Reynolds were lying in :
dying condition on the floor of !
cablniat the Winters mine. Jep.
person, who is from Reno, was
resuscitated with little difficulty,
but Walker did not recover until
after the rescuers labored all
night.
Tonight that dog is the hero of
the hour in Gardnerville. When
Jepperson and Reynolds reached
there this afternoon, the latter
crledf for the animal to be brought
to him, and he caressed it with
the effection of a child. The
animal was beribboned and fed
with the daintiest foods, and Jep-
person says that as long as he
llves the canine shall never be in
want.
Taken to Lone Pine by Livery
man Richford of Grrdneryille
and left there, although instruc-
tons were given for the return
OF the team and sleigh on the fol-
lowing afternoon, JepDerson and
Reynolds tramped across the
snow to their rich claim and
when nightfall came the storm |
increased, forcing them to the
shelter of a cabin. The snow
fall increased in the night. and
during the cay they waited in
vain for the arrival of Richford
and safety. This was on New
Years day. Two days later the
supply of food was exhausted.
The intelligent spaniel was the
resource to reach safety, for Jep-
person and Reynolds knew that
I they left the cabin they would
lever reach the nearest habita-
ion twenty miles away. With
message on its neck pleading
or rescue, the dog was sent
orth across the desert. When !

Then began the vigil against
