EoR A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

In this city campaign the Democrat
ic party proposes TO make lean fight,
free from personal abuse of opponents,
free from appeals 10 religious pTeju-
dice, and free from any OF the objec-
tionabIa methods which too frequently
disgrace party management bent only
on success at the polls without re-
gard to the means used to attain sue
cess. Although it is temptation to
retaliate in kind when offensive at
tacks are made along personal lines in
a campaign, The Herald believes that
the policy outlined for the Democracy
is not only the right way, bit the sue
cessful way.
The general public In this election is
anxious only to get The best men Cor
the management of the city's large
business affairs. One contingent of
voters will cast their ballots against
candidates of one religious faith, re-
gardless of other considerations. An
other contingent will vote only for
candidates of that faith. But the third
element, and it viii probably be the
determining factor in the campaign. is
earnestly studying the situation to dis
cover what candidates promise the best
results in city administration; and to
this third element, a clean campaign
should appeal with special force
The Democracy of the STATE and of
this city has determinedly fought the
factions which appeal to religious pref
udice or religious fear. It is on record
against the use of ecclesiastical inhu-
ence in political affairs. and its plat
forms in every state and city campaign
have been explicit on that subject on
the other hand. the Democracy of Utah
has been just as bitterly opposed to
the use Of religious hatred as a cam
paign argument. It believes that a
mans religion has nothing to do with
his qualifications OF disqualifcations
for Office. II dominates its candidates
without regard 10 their religious afiIia-
tiOns, and only for their ability as
qualifying them for public Office. 1t has
followed this course in the selection of
its candidates for city office. Its nom-
inee Tor mayor r. p. Norris. has
proved his fitness 10 hold the mayors
place. and that record alone Is sufficient
argument for his election. There need
be no abuse Of other candidates to car
~ conviction as to his fitness, nor need
there be any lack Of vigor in the fight
in his behalf with such campaign am
munition as his record offers.
Similarly, the other candidates are
too well known and stand too high in
public esteem to seek election by any
but clean methods They have a lust
claim to consideration at the hands OF
the electorate. and that claim is based
solely on character and ability to do
the work required in the offices for
which they are named.
If there is to be any exchange OF epf.
thets and abusive arguments, the Dem.
ocrats propose TO leave the exchange
to other parties and other candidates
And in this The Herald believes they
have chosen the surest way TO the re.
gard Of the people and the best way
TO success at the polls.

tions of the respiratory tract interfere
with his health. it is no wonder his ef-
forts at study are abortive If his
digestion and nutrition are bad. if he
is poorly nourished or if his eyesight
is poor and neglected, he works under
a hopeless handicap so long as he fails
to receive attention.
Happily for the children of today, the
public school authorities are awake to
the need of medical inspection for
every pupil. Infectious diseases offer
less danger when inspection is regular
and thorough, and the child that might
otherwise be neglected because of pow
erty or of inattention from his parents,
has a chance to be saved physically
and mentally by the appliance Of mod
ern medical and surgical science to his
case
While Salt Lake has done a good deal
in this direction, the Binet experiments
in Paris show that numerous causes of
mental sloth and weakness exist which
have scarcely been suspected hereto
fore. If it is at all possible with the
funds in hand, the school board should
provide for extensive examination of
all pupils by doctors we'll qualified to
perform the work; and in the case of
children who can get medical attention
in no other way, it would be good
economy for the board to bear the ex-
pense of their treatment. One boy
saved from physical wreckage or men
tai handicap would be worth more TO
the community than all the cost of in
speeding every school in the city.

HEALTH AND THE MIND.

Prof. Binet Of Paris is making a most
valuable and interesting study of the
causes which contribute to intellectual
sluggishness or incapacity in children.
The old notion was that every child
had mental equipment enough TO learn
if he would only pay attention and
study. If he was inattentive or slow
to grasp a thought il was assumed that
the lapse was wilful and demanded
corporal punishment.
Scientific study of late years, such
as is undertaken in the Binet labora-
tory. has shown that a good many
cases of incapacity among children are
due to physical defects, many of them
easily remedied by simple surgical Cd
erations or well-advised treatment at
the hands OF a doctor. Inattention is
natural enough in younger children, but
when youngster suffers from adenoid
growths which obstruet his breathing,
or when nasal catarrh and affec-

ACROSS THE POND IN TWO DAYS.

Commenting on the speed of the new
steamship Lusitania the other day, The
Herald said that no man could predict
the ultimate limit of speed or size in
the ocean flyer of the future, because
human genius has so often upset the
prophecies of men that the future is
always an unknown quantity. Now
comes the Technical World, high
class engineering magazine, with a
story of the invention of Peter Cooper
Hewitt of a boat that makes about
forty miles an hour. and this with a
small model of low power.
Mr. Hewitt is an inventor of interna-
tional reputation and is best known by
the mercury lamp which bears his
name. His recent discovery originated
in an experiment designed for air navi-
cation. 1t occurred to him that planes
used in water would be much more sta
Bile than in air and that. attached to a
hull, they would make for speed and
stability of a vessel. His first model
was a Neutrality-suspicious. boat carrying
an 'eight-cylinder engine. At rest the
boat gave no outward evidence of
speed capacity, but when the power
was applied the lifting power of the
planes raised the hull clear Of the water
and the craft fairly flew along the sur
face at better than forty miles an hour.
Engineers say it is a simple matter of
mathematics to demonstrate that a 200
foot boat can be built which will go
faster than sixty miles an hour, and
they predict that a crossing CT the At
lantie may yet be made in from two to
three days.
Planes as supports for vessels have
been used before. some experiments
dating back to forty years ago, but at
that time the weight of the machinery
required to develop power was hope
less handicap in the application of the
idea. Mr.. Hewitts planes are framed
on the hull so that the body of the YES
sci is supported by them as If it were
on stills. At rest the planes and hull
are submerged, but the model is so ar
ranged that when the boat reaches a
speed Of sixteen miles the hull is clear
of the water and the planes glide along
much as feathering oars do on the sur
face. 1t is said the device Obviates the
rolling and plunging due to wave mo-
ton, and that sea sickness ought to be
an unknown quantity on a ship of larg-
er lines built on the same plan.
While the invention is still in the ex-
perimental stage, it promises to revo-
lutionize ocean traffic eventually just
as the turbine now is displacing the re-
ciprocating engine. To cross the At
lantic in forty-eight hours would be no
more marvellous as the result of inven-
ton than to talk from Chicago to New
York; instead Of having heard the last
word in invention it is altogether likely
human genius will produce more mar
velous things than any the race has
seen.
