About the time when the express.

called it "Skidoo@ and "Skldee," which
created much merriment. Unless the
trick is thoroughly understood, for
some it will turn one way, for others
the opposite way, while for others 1t
will not revolye at all One person
whom | now recall became red in the
face by shouting skidoo and skidee at
il, but the thing would not move at all,
and he finally from yexation threw
the trick into the fire and a new one
had to be made. Very few can make it
turn both ways at will, and therein
is the trick.

of Florida He says that during the
eight years that he has been in office
1t has been his constant endeavor TO
improve the prison system OF this
state, and he congratulates himself
that his efforts have been largely sue
cesSful. That those who are able TO
recall the condition of the prison
camps in vogue eight years ago, and
the condition of them now can read
lily see the difference. That now no
state prisoners are Shackled, that the
utmost care is given to the sanitary
condition of the camps and to the
food given to the prisoners. That the
food is wholesome and well cooked.
The prison camps are provided with
bathing pools and the requirements
compel the lessees TO provide good
and cleanly beds, etc, for the prison.

medical attention must be Immediate

gerous he must be sent to one of the
two hospitals. That carte blanche in

eSted in prison reforms to visit the

times and the refusal to admit them
will be instantly investigated by those

Mr.. McL.in also says that persons
living in the neignborhood of the pris-
on camps are earnestly requested TO
report any harsh measures used by
those in charge of the prisoners to the

whenever this is done the matter is

VIII tae democratic party survive
this last defeat, is the question on all
sides now. Why not? It was candi-
dates, not principles, that went down
before superior numbers lat Tuesday
and the principles themselves are
quite as vital now as ever.
Hearst and Chain both predict the
death of the party. but with them the
wish is father to the prophecy and
democrats will not take their cue
from their worst enemies. Heavily
reduced republican majorities in nor
mally republican states like Iowa and
Indiana and the fact that the republi-
can party itself is merely following
the lead of Mr.. Bryan in its war on the
trusts are not the signs Of democratic
decajence. And when the full returns
from Tuesdays election are in, COM
parsons made, votes analysed, causes
more definitely known and we can all
calmly review the situation freed from
the depression of defeat CT one side
and the citation of victory on the 9TH
er-we do not doubt that it will be
discovered that the democratic party
has emerged from the conflict with
unimpaired vitality and has materially
gained in strength nearly ell along the
line.
The principles of William j. Bryan
are working like leaven in the mass,
and while q was too much to hope
that they had leavened the whole
mass and would triumph last Tuesday
it is illogical to the point OF absurd
ty to claim that they have been re
pudiated and destroyed forever in the
fact of that vote.
