hitherto published with its Sunday
issue has renewed the discussion of
this journalistic policy. That paper
explained cditorially that "a great
newspaper no longer needs clown
and asserts besides that comic sup
plempnts have ceased 10 be comic
It adds: They have become vulgar
in design as they are tawdry in col
or. There is no longer any sem
blance of art in them, and if there
are any ideas they are low and de-
scending lower According to re-
view of this subject in the Literary
/ Digest, this example is not likely to
| be followed by New York papers.
Albert Payson Terhune, art editor
of the World holds that the comics
are worth retaining and says that
the pictures are comparable in in
terest to the curious and quaint hier-
oglyphics on ancient pyramids and
obclisks. Not that the latter were
humorous, but that they were prim-
tive The comics respond to the
primitive in children. He thinks
that the crudities and gaudiness suit
many people who could not appre-
ciate fine art. He argues that most
of the characters inculcate moral les
sons and that mother-in-law jokes
have reformed mothers-in-law. 1ud-
olph Block art editor of Hearst
believes that the comics are a per-
manent feature of journalism. He
admits their quality varies, but holds
that the good ones grow, while the
poor ones die. He thinks the error
of those who have failed is in as.
suming that the taste Of the public
is low and vulgar. EXaggeration he
regards as legitimate function oil
humor.

With reports from but five coun-
ties the constitutional amendment on
revenue and finance has been defeat
ed by a majority of about fourteen
thousand. The amendment contain
ed several good provision, in the
change of method of assessment OF
corporate property; and provisions
for the taxation of incomes, but the
one provision which took away the
limit of levies Of state taxes was
enough to condemn the amendment
in the opinion of the voters OF the
state, and it has gone down along
with the amendment increasing the
salary Of the attorney general.

AT San Antonio, Tex, Tuesday,
where Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Bryan
stopped on their way to Mexico for
a vacation, the defeated candidate
said to group Of friends that he
hoped it would never become neces-
sary TO run for office again, but that
he would not attempt to decide that
question until the time comes to act.
In reply to the direct question wheth-
er he would run for the presidency
again, he said that he was not dis
couraged as to the future of the dem
ocratic party. That party was al
ready a great educational force, anu
he had no doubt that the voters
would yet turn to it for the accom-
plishment of necessary reforms.

One of the most interesting results
Of the recent alectinn In Colorado

one OF The most interesting results
Of the recent election in Colorado
where the returns came in very
slowly, was the reelection OF the
famous judge Of the juvenile court,
Lindsay, who ran independently at
ter both the republican and demo-
cratic organizations had refused him
Il nomination because Of his exposure
of grating politicians of high degree
in both parties. Lindsay's election
was made possible by the almost un-
animous support OF the women vot-
ers, who, though differing on the ma
tional ticket, almost without excep-
ton marked their ballot for the chill
dren's friend and helper.

Conclusive returns of the Cuban
election, November IA, showed that
General Jose Miguel Gomez and AL
fredo Zavus, the candidates of the
Liberal party for president and vice
president, had obtained a majority
in every province, their vote being
about $4,000, as compared with
10000 for Menocal and Montoro,
candidates of the Conservative party.
The senate will be entirely Liberal
and the house one-third Conserva-
tive. This result is taken to mean
that the revolution Of 1906 is upheld
and that Cuba is ready for the es-
Enlistment of the republic when
the Americans withdraw on January
2S.

Walter Wellman, the we'll known
newspaper man, has discovered that
the governments of the United
States and Japan are about to pub
lish a joint note explaining that the
most cordial feeling of good will ex-
istes between the two governments
and that permanent peace pact be-
tween the Yankees of the occident
and their namesakes of the orient
has been signed. The announcement
is important If true. It is perhaps
better to have Japan as an ally rath-
er than an enemy, If friendship can
be gained and maintained without
loss to American power or prestige.

What They Don't Know.

1t would offer the best kind OF
entertainment if a number of these
independent free trader editors in
Iowa, could be lined up in some pub
lie place, and questioned as to what
they know about the tariff If hey
could be induced to agree, for pX-
ample, that the measure of protection
ought to be the difference in labor
cost here and abroad, then it would
be inorder to ask them if they knew
the difference in labor cost in the
iron and steel products as between
this country and Europe. Tue
chances are that they would
not know, but when informed
they would see at a glance that the
iron and steel schedules as they now
stand do not measure the difference
in labor cost here and abroad. The
best paid iron and steel iaborers in
Europe receive scarcely half the
wages paid to American iron AMI
steel workers, yet the duties on iron
and steel are nothing like fifty per
SCul. DO tlSSC pCIuSul e;
trade specialists know what the diff
ference in the cost of production Of
farm products is between this coun.
try and Canada? The duties on ag-
ricultural products now enforced do
not nearly measure the difference in
cost of production, to say nothing
about the competition between the
agriculturists of this country and the
agriculturalists Of South America.
The tariff is one of the most ia
tricate subjects with which our con-
gress has to deal.
There are not many men in the
country who know the subject thor
oughly. Three independent editors
now specializing on the tariff do not
even know the A B C about it. All
of them will be violent critics of
the republican tariff measure to
which William H. Taft will affix
his signature some time next sum-
mer. Cedar Rapids Republican.

Official confirmation of the deaf,
of Emperor Kwang Hsu and the
Dowager Empress Tsi-An, on the
18th was formally transmitted to the
Western powers two days later, to-
gether with the announcement that
Prince Chun had been designated as
regent for his 2-year-old son, Pu-Yi,
who was named as heir apparent.
Rumors were spread to the effect
that the death Of the empress and
emperor were due to court con-
spiracy and the administering of
poisoning. There were many signs
Of restlessness among the people; but
Prince Chun appears to have got a
firm hold of the situation at least,
so far as Pekin is concerned. The
powers have agreed to the mainten-
ance of the status quo.

nounced the social settlements of
American cities as breeding places
of socialism and anarchy" asserting
that many of the rich supporters of
these settlements go among the poor

Rhode urged colonization scheme
to take Catholic Immigrants from the
cities to farms where their spiritual

The Atlanta Constitution, demo.
cratic paper, makes the following
post-election comment. 1.-The demo-
cratic party has not been in healthy
condition for long time, and it has
made the dangerous mistake Of call
ing in quack doctors who have had
politic-guaranteed to cure 1t If it
did not kill. The democracy has
practised quackery long enough. 1t
must abandon it speedily and get
back to a basis Of conservatism, sam
ity and safety. 1t will remain power
less until it quits puttering with
trifles and side-issues and chasing
phantoms."

During the sessions of the Ameri-
can Philosophical society at Phila-
delphia. DR.. Carrel told of the won-
ders of medical surgery now being
performed at the Rockefeller insti-
tute of New York. Recently the leg
of q dead dog was grated on the
body Of another dog so that in three
weeks the wound had healed and
the dog was able to use the new leg
with perfect control. DR.. Carrel al
so told of the transplanting Of cats
kidneys. even after the organs had
been In storage sixty days. Human
arteries and jugular veins have been
interchanged and the patients have
not been able to tell the difference.
The chief difficulty in the way Of
applying these methods to saving
human life is to find healthy organs
to transplant. DR.. Keen suggested
that when a healthy man died his
kidneys and other organs be kept
In cold storage until some patient
should be in need of them. Already
the knee Joint from the leg of a
dead man has oeen used to replace
an injured joint in a living person.
