so badly beaten his vote was hardly
worth counting. If figures could dem
onstrate anything. they would prove
the futility of voting the Republican
ticket In the hope of beating anybody
in this election
That this is the view taken by the
knowing ones of the Republican party
is amply shown by the difficulty Of get
ting candidates TO accept nominations.
With their city convention only a few
days away, the machine has been un-
able to find candidates worth consid-
ering for any Office on the ticket If
there were even a reasonable hope of
victory, the woods would be full OF
men looking for place on the ticket; as
it is the party leaders haven't been
able to lasso a single eligible nominee
and make him stand still long enough
to say he'll be a sacrificial goat
The fight this fall will be between
the Americans and the Democrats;
and the issue will be a comparison of
the Morris administration and the
Thompson Sheets-Raleigh administra-
ton.
The Americans" claim credit for all
the public improvements made in Salt
Lake for decade; the Democrats viii
claim. and prove. that the great pro-
portion Of the Improvements were in
augurated under the Morris admins
tration. and that practically all of
them were finished by funds raised in
the Morris term OF Office
The Americans" will claim that they
have pUrged the city OF crime, and
they will be met with the record of
Sheets, the shameful history of the
slot-machine graft. the protection of
private poker rooms and the general
laxity in control OF criminal conditions
which marked the Thompson Sheets
policy.
A comparison of city financial his
tory Will be made which will show that
the Morris administration left the city
in good shape, and that the city treas
ury is now depleted. the tax levy raised
and a deficit at the end of this year
insured. On the showing made the
Democrats have a right to expect sup
port and success; and if they are de-
feated it will profit the Republicans
nothing, though they will have had
their share In securing the result, rs
they did when Thompson was elected
by the indirect aid OF Senator Smoot on
election day.
Two years ago the Republicans suc-
ceeding in defeating the Democrats and
themselves by exactly the same sort of
figures and appeal they are making
now; the same game should be impos-
sible this year, but if it is effective ex-
actly the same resultant no other
will follow. The men and women who
earnestly long for an end to factional
politics and for a return to clean, eff
cient city management, will vote for
the Democratic ticket.

HHEER UP.

I
Even at this early stage of the regu-
lar fall political catacIysm and the drop
in copper, some of the participants in
the game show signs of a ruined dis
position; if they let it grow on them
they will be unbearabIe to their fellows,
uncomfortable to themselves and their
families before election day comes.
They need, right now, a word OF disin-
terested advice and warning before it
is too late.
No matter who wins the fight, or
what copper brings, Salt Lake is going
right on with its growth. its modern
ization. it's increased attractfveness as
a place of residence and a place for
business activity. Nothing but an ex-
traordinary disaster can prevent it's
development into one of the great and
beautiful cities of the country.
No matter who happens to be in po-
litical power here, most of the people
are desirable citizens, good neighbors
and inclined to do the right thing.

Three years ago William T. Carnes.

at his lathe when his right arm caught IN

for himself with his one good arm a new
arm of wood and steel to take the place
of the one Of flesh, bone and muscle he
had lost.
He patiently studied the anatomy of the
human arm. the hand and fingers. BY

Very Lucid,

A lady left her home for her annual visit to her mother. Before her depart ure she told her husband that If he wanted anything that he could not cas- lily find he was to write to her for d. rections. Don't turn the house upside down, as you generally do," she said. T will answer at once and tell you just where 1t is.' Soon after his wifes departure neighbor came in to borrow a pattern of a dress The husband wrote, as he had been requested to do. This was the answer by return-"You will find 1t hanging on the wall by the garret stairs, or In the box on top of the sewing machine in Ellen's room the green box, or the red one, I forgot which. Perhaps, though, 1t Is on the top shelf In the cupboard in our room -left-hand side, If I remember cor rectly, but look on the other side, too. If not there 1t Is In the bottom drawer of the bureau in the hall. That Is where I keep my patterns, and don't unite all the bundles. It Is among them some where. Perhaps 1t Is In the second drawer. It is somewhere upstairs, any way, 80 don't rummage downstairs. P. S.-Now I come to think of 1t, I may have lent 1t to my sister Ann!"

In real or supposed imitation of col Iege youths, still more youthful students tn high schools and preparatory schools have adopted strange head-gears. h. stead of the modest boylsh cap and the neat soft or stiff felt hat for dress up," some fantastic boys have topped themselves with slouch-hats, variously distorted in the shape of the brims and even decorated with markings and devices The principal of one high school has asked his boys to cast of the crazy head-coverings. The matter of decency and simplicity of dress Is real ly important The boy who deliberately wears something that draws attention to himself may be pardoned by any one with humor enough to understand boy fish folly. Nevertheless, the habit of unobtrusive dress Is a good one to cul- hvate early.

 From this dull spot, the world to see, How happy. happy, happy,
 How happy l should bel" Amid the city's constant din, \ man who round the world has been, Who, mid the tumult and the throng, Is thinking, thinking all day long; 'Oh, could I only tread once more The field-path to the farmhouse door,
 The old, green meadow could l see, low happy, happy, happy.
 How happy l should be!" Annie D. Green.

PAPER RUINED BY GERMS.
Microbes Spot the Surface and .,
 Last Wreck the Fabric.

Microbes Spot the Surface and at Last Wreck the Fabric.
 Germany has been looking into the question why paper does not last for ever and has come to the conclusion that Its decay is largely due to bac- terla. They not only injure the tex ture but destroy the color.
 The brownish spots which appear in old books and which are known to Eng fish bibliophlles as foxing are really due to the bacterium prodigorum. This tiny destroyer Is especially fond of starchy media and Its propagation Is promoted by damp. It has long been known that damp produced foxing, but the share of the microbe in the opera tion has not been suspected.
 Then there Is the tiny fungus, or mold, penicillium glancum. It is re- sponslble for gray and black marks upon old papers and in spotting the surface It helps to break down the fabric and hasten its destruction.
 There are many other microscopic enemies of paper and they abound chiefly in those which are glazed with gelatin. Given little moisture and a little heat and these will multiply in the surface of picture or a diploma on highly finished paper just as they would In the culture tube of a biolo- gist.
 Several methods of fighting these bacteria are proposed. One Is to sub- stitute for animal glue In finishing fine paper glazes made from rosin.
 These 1t Is said, give equally good results and totally defy the invasion of microbes. It is also proposed to introduce chemical agents in the man. ufacture of paper which are known to be fatal to microbes. This, however, involves many complications.
 Where the paper Is to be used for water color painting and printing in colors almost every chemical Is barred. as they are apt to combine with the pigments In the course of time and de- stroy them. But for ordinary writing papers small quantities either of bl- chloride of mercury or of antIseptlcs of the carbolic class may be introduced without impairing the use of the paper for ordinary purposes, whether writing or printing, and at the same time reD- dering 1t proof against the ordinary processes of decay.

Here's one with a camera, plates and developer.

When Chloroform Wa. New.

Here is a curious little story about Sir James Simpson, the man who in- troduced the use of chloroform into surgery, and a peril which he escaped. as recorded by Lyon Playfair. Simp- son when busy with his researches in- to the subject of anaesthetics called one day on Playfair and asked If he had anything new likely to produce anaesthesia. Playfair had just pre- pared liquid which seemed worthy of trial. Simpson, who knew no fear, pre- pared instantly to test 1t on himself. This Playfair refused to allow until 1t had first been tried on rabbits. Two were procured and placed under the ef- fleets of the anaesthetic. Next day Simpson proposed to try 1t on himself. "We might as we'll see how the rabbits have fared," said Playfair. They found both the animals dead.

Huddersfeld, England, has lately
 been the scene of a curious and interest ing experiment made by the Mayor. In Longwood, a poor district of the town, the rate of mortality among young children had been 122 in the thousand. The new Mayor, MT. Broadbent, a brother of Sir William Broadbent, the kings physician, decided when he took office to do what he could to reduce this high death rate. The plant he adopted was the offer of guinea to parents in certain specified districts for every child born during his term of office and hv- ing at the end of a year. In spite of the fact that serious epidemics of whooping-cough and measles prevailed during the year of the tssts, and that the summer of 1908 was one of the
