A QUEER POsTPONEMENr.

Sometimes a brief newspaper item reads quite differently from what the writer intended. For example. a few days ago The NOrwalk (Conn) Hour had this announcement: Owing to the oveFcpowded condition of our col umns. a number of births and deaths are unavoidably postponed this week" Of course the editor meant that an nouncement of the births and deaths was postponed, but the sentence sounds as if the events themselves had been postponed.
 The statement leads The New Ha- ven Register to remark that while one dislikes to criticise. it may re- speetfully be suggested that there Is a doubtful advantage in such a suspen- sion of events as is indicated above. The postponement of death is indeed a thing which many men desire. And as much tribute is yearly delivered over to the physician to bring about this end, probably this part of the pro- cedure would be approved by all but the undertakers. As regards the post ponement of the births there would doubtless be a difference of opinion. This joint suspension does. it ls true. keep the population level until the struggle at the polls has decided whether we shall have national pros- perity or diversity. but there Is also much to be said on the other side. No healthy child would care to have ifs birth postponed. Moreover, there will

 What Is the city lodging house for if not to shelter the homeless?" the magistrate wanted to know.
 T am only acting on orders" re- sponded the policeman.
 T am not going to send innocent men to prison and put burden on the tax-payers," said the magistrate. T should like an opportunity of going before the board of estimate to show how the city's money is being squan- dered. Just think of the city paying sS00.000 year for automobiles for city employees to ride about in, and not enough money to give shelter to these. unfortunate men. If a part of this big amount of money was spent Tn giving employment to men out of work. there would not be so many applying for nights lodging"

A NEW FOOD.

Ever eat any gopher meatP Don't know what gopher is. perhaps. Well, the kind referred to is one of the spe- cies of pouched rats that burrow in the earth. Country people sometimes call them ''salamanders," though we don't know why. They are of the rat fam fly and do great damage to crops. The Washington Post estimates that what is known as the pocket gopher does harm to the amount of twelve million dollars every year. Thus they are a decided pest. and as they have not been looked on as of any value the efforts to exterminate them have not been as earnest and successful as might other wise have been the case.
 Now comes the somewhat beiated discovery that they are good food for the human family. In fact. one epicure declares that gopher meat Is as good as quail. Why this was not discovered before We are not saying. but perhaps that is not important. The main point is that a new food has been found and } that it Is both good and plentiful. Just here comes in the good point of the discovery. Heretofore. although 1t was known that the little rodents are hurt full to the growing crops proper efforts were not made to get rid of them be- cause they were not considered good for anything else.
 But if this alleged discovery is gen. uine 1t puts an entirely different face on the matter. If they are good food of course they will be hunted. In the regions where they do most harm we may expect that there will be an open season for gopher hunting which will last all the year. for the present, but we may expect that not great while will elapse before they will be protect ed by the game laws. Catching or killing gophers except at certain sea sons will be barred. and then the new delicacy win become a favorite and high-priced dish for those who-indulge in the good things of life. Will you have another helping of pouched rat?

The House of RIdder.

Brunswick News
 Herman Ridder is the kind of treas- urer a National Committee should have He does a good deal more than ac' knowledge and apply the contributions of others. He gives handsomely of his own. MT. Ridder has contributed $1O,- 900 and each of his three sons has given S9.O0O to the Democratic fund. making the neat sum of s37.e00 from the RIddsr family. That Is the best financial demonstration that has been made on the Democratic side thus far. Mir Ridder has contributed the maxi- mum sum which the committee may. under self-imposed rules. receive from one contributor, and his sons have each given within a thousand dollars of that amount. The only other con- tribution that is comparable with MT, Bidders is that made by Tammany Hall to the amount of S10.0O0. It Is scarcely likely that the Riders would have given this handsome sum of mon ev at the last moment of the campaign if they thought 1t was to go to waste in a hopeless cause.

The Raleigh Evening Times recent ly got itself into a mess and lost one of it's Democratic subscribers by try ing to be funny at the expense of Judge Taft. The subscriber in question writes letter saying that he has al- ways been a patron of the paper but doesn't approve of the style of ridicule used by The Times and will not pat ronize it any longer. It doesn't pay to be too funny sometimes. and our contemporary uses about a column of editorial space explaining itself. Bet ter be just funny enough, but not too much.

DON'T DODGE WEATHER.
FreGh Air the Best Winter as Well


 Fresh Air the Best Winter as Well as
 Summer,
 Cleveland Laadar.
 One Of the periis of the fall which sci- ence understands better than it did a few years ago. IS the timid surrender to ths weather which is still too common when the winds begin to bite and the storm clouds are dark and msnacing It is dangerous to try too hard to escape axpoS-- ure to harsh climatic conditions The gospel of fresh air Is being preach ed with vigor in all parts of the civilized world. It was never before SO popular never so well understood. But 1t isn't dominant enough yet: It is still too much shirked and lodged. There Is not as much dislike of stnffy rooms and stsis air as there ought to be.
 At this time of the year it is easy to fall into the habit of stunning what is call ed exposure to the weather. Indoor life seems far more comfortable than the open- air kind. when rain Is falling and the wind is almost violent enough to make a deep seas sailor admit that there is a storm in the late autumn. therefore. the need is greatest of keeping upon intimate terms with the outdoor world and living close to nature.
 That Is the way to carry a good stock of vitality and health into the winter and be preparted to meet all the rigors of line severest season, in tho best possible condi- ton for health and safety.
