Facts Show Fitness

OG ~ al tueSSs
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
It goes without saying that correct
opinions are reached only when the
facts which belong to the matter upon
which the opinion rests are consid-
cred. Courts and elections are in
some respects alike. In courts it is
the duty of the attorney to get the
facts in each case before the jury. In
elections to fill Offices it is the privi-
lege of any citizen to get the facts
connected with the previous public
life of each aspirant to office before
the body of citizens. The nature of
these facts may differ. In one case
they may be for and in another they
may be against an aspirant. The
right to give the facts which are fa-
vorable to an anspirant is not likely
to be abridged. The facts are not for
the man himself, but for his fitness
for the place he seeks. Take away
the facts from public life and who
could say fit or unfit?
The facts connected with term of
Office it seems to me are public prop
erty and should be in demand where
fairness rules and the best end of gov
ernment are sought. 1t is scheme
of the politician to try to scare the
facts of unftness out of his way.
Elections to Office which demand
and observe the facts of fitness or un-
fitness of men will always promote
good. A VOTER.

NATURAL SOAP.
The Queer Fruit Of a Tree That Crows
4 4. In Algeria.

The Queer Fruit Of a Tree That Crows
/. In Algeria.
Soap grows on trees in Algeria. The
soap tree is ornamental and reaches a
height Of fifty feet. 1t begins to bear
fruit when six years old. The wood is
close grained. takes a good polish and
Is admirably suited for furniture. The
average income from a tree is $40 to
$40 a year. The composition OF the
fruit consists Of a nut shaped hull in
which is a seed. In the hull exists the
soapy matter in the proportion of 30
I to 40 per cent Of the bulk Of the hull.
The soap principle Is set free by the
shredding Of the hull and using 1t with
water just as IL 1t were a piece OF soap
/ beautiful lather Is the result, and the
cleansing qualities are such that there
is no soap made by human process that
can compare with them. For toilet
purposes the same applies. The hull
can be made into powder and the
powder into cake, so as to make the
use OF 1t easier. It can also be made
into q liquid for hair wash, dentifrice
and various other preparations. Seeds
Of the Algerian sos9 tree have been Inn
ported to the United States. and soap
trees have been discovered In Florida
indigenous to the soil. The seed has a
kernel which contains q fixed oil In ey-
cry respect preferable to the best i'm
ported olive oil, either for eating or
culinary purposes. and also for all
kinds Of industrial products in which
the .oliye.oil Is used. The yield in oil is
twice that OF the olive fruit. -Balti-

Penance For piscourtesy.

Nicholas T., car Of Russia, was the
type of an absolute aristocrat. The
succession OF terrible wars which
clouded his reign did not tend to soften
his disposition or to render him less
imperious. But, rough and harsh as
he was, Nicholas had measure Of
chivalry in his disposition. He would
not tolerate under any circumstances
an insult offered to woman. AS the
car was driving through the streets
of st. Petersburg he caught sight of
an officer OF his household In the act
of upsetting an old beggar woman
whose hands were raised in prayer
for aims. The official was quite un-
mindful Of the august witness OF his
act and was rather pleased when, a
few hours later, he was summoned to
the imperial presence. Nicholas soon
!undeceived him and In the presence Of
a dozen courtiers cut him to the quick
with his indignant reproof.
Enough" said Nicholas finally.
sYon will walk up and down that cor
ridor all night, and every time you
turn you will say in a loud voice: I
am a puppyl ] am q puppy"

A Fox's ssrataoen,.

A fox Is bound to be a thief when
ever he has half a chance to steal, says
London Answers. He can no more
help taking a goose than a badly train
ed cat can help taking a chop from the
larder. There was tame fox that
was chained in a yard to keep him out
Of mischief, but he soon hit upon a
plan for selling stray duck or fowl.
At the very farthest point to which his
chain would reach he used to place a
portion Of his food and then hide him
self In his kennel. In due course a
silly chicken was sure to spy the bait
and begin pecking at 1t. Before It had
had time to enjoy Its meal. however,
the fox would pounce upon it and the
stock Of poultry be reduced by one.
