W. K. Hicks, member of the Min
neapolis school board, was accused
of accepting three fifty dollar brides
for his services in assisting an agent
of supply house in landing con-
tract for closets for several school
buildings in that city. The supposed
agent turned out to be an imported
detective by the name of Burns. Ac-
cording to Burns own testimony he
repeatedly offered Hicks money and
the latter refused to accept it. Hicks
testified that he had accepted 500 from
Burns and gave 30-day notes for the
same. To an impartial outsider it
nfGs:
does not seem as if much credence
should be given to Burns unsup-
ported testimony. The jury will prob
ably disagree.

DR.. 81. D. Walker of Buffalo, N. Y,
an eminent authority, says that, after
seven years experimentation with
cancer, he has come to the conclusion
that the common garden worm is the
source of the parasite which produces
the disease. "Cancer may be pre-
vented" said he, "by refraining from
eating such vegetables as cabbage,
celery, onions and lettuce which have
been infected by these parasites" AS
people will still continue to eat these
vegetables, the doctor should now
endeavor to discover means of kill
ing the cancer parasite which he says
infects them.

Bows and Farming.

The Maine Farmer, advises boys to
stick to the. farm as business propo-
sition. The argument is not new, but
there is certainly ample justification
for it now. The value of agricultural
land generally, is increasing. and the
farmer can. often make more than a
'living.''. even though he only supports
his family, by improving his acreage
and selling out at an advance.
Il The real boy days are the hardest
ones toTlive through on a farm for a
boy Of spirit. His work is. measured
by the work of older and stronger
hands. and he naturally thinks he
could do better in some other occupa-
ton. Farm associations, 1 especially
where transient hands are. employed,
are not always good: for growing boys,
and If the boy fails to see it his moth
er sees it and encourages his ambition
to get away. Boys dislike school where
they cannot learn something useful,
and they will dislike farm life that is
not an advance Tor them. $50 5s

A Warning to Go Slow.

No one can object to calling it a
prosperity panic" if that explanation
of the slump in 1907 is taken as a
warning to go slow as prosperity smiles
again. A year is much too short time
for learning how to do without and
to find the simple life agreeable all
around. The burned child breads the
fire" only when the burn was a-smart-
ing one and the smarting of the hang
on kind.
With the panic for texts the preach
ing Of sermons upon the national sin
OF waste will continue. But the best
sermon is the lesson that is burned in,
and if we cannot believe that the panic
was a real scorcher we can, at least
make sure that the prosperity of today
is the real thing before we plunge into
prosperity gait of high living.

The Case of the Suffragettes.

The unusual tactics of the women of
England who seek the suffrage are not
without justification, according to the
English press, which has recently
pointed out laws of the realm bearing
unjustly upon women. These injus-
tees, it is also said, the present law
makers show no disposition to correct.
In recent years the rights of women
in England have been enlarged, but it
seems that the reforms have been only
halfway measures. It is still the law
that a husband having means may
leave his wife destitute at death and
also that any money she may have
saved out of allowances from his in
come during his life must 90 back to
his estate, even though the widow be
left penniless.
1t has been asserted by the more
conservative woman suffragists of
England that it is not primarily IN
just economic laws which incite them
to demand the ballot. They ask for
voice in the affairs of the nation.
Every form of injustice, inequality and
political abuse or evil appeals to them,
and they claim that in legislation re-
lating to social conditions they, unit
ing with the men, will bring about i'm
provement that the men, acting alone.
cannot accomplish. The recent overt
acts OF the suffragettes, however, are
cand1d1y confessed to arise from in
dignation at the palpable injustice of
some few laws that hold women in
actual economic slavery.

A decision has been rendered by the
commissioner; of patents relating to
labels which packers and others place
on their products. The commissioner
rules that any label bearing the in
scription, Guaranteed under the pure
food and drugs act of June 30 1906, -
in which such inscription seeks to con-
vey the impression that the govern
ment is responsible for the purity OF
the goods, will be refused registration.
This shows that no dependence can be
placed on slips, pasted on canned
goods and other products, guarantee
ing purity.

The Constitutional Emperor.


BY words rather than deeds the i'm
pulsive and strenuous kaiser has i'm
pressed himself upon the American
people as an emperor of the kind that
reigned before divine right was seri-
ously challenged and whose iron
hand" or mailed fist" stands for ire
sistible sway. William II. is not of
that kind, and it needed but clash of
his will with the aroused will of the
German people to show that the impe-
rial power centered in Berlin is moth
ing to make the earth tremble unless
backed by the national spirit.
Politically the German empire is a
union governed as federal represent
alive system. The parliament is cleo
tive and democratic. There is no mon
arch In the usual sense, but a mo-
narchlcal feature is retained by making
the presidency of the federal council
hereditary and vesting the imperial ex-
ecrtive power in the king Of Prussia.
Prussia is the strongest member Of the
union and holds the balance of power
In parliament. But the powerful states
OF Wurttemberg, Bavaria and Saxony
hold special privileges guaranteed by
the constitution as inviolable. In brief.
the kaiser is president having unusu-
al powers and privileges, which, how
ever, stop far short of being supreme.

Fresh Air and Weather Changes.

Fresh Air and Weather Changes.
A change of weather doesn't neces
saIlly change the air from wholesome
to impure, from good to bad. Storms
that are disagreeable to face are gen.
orally supposed to wash the air and
purify it. But the balmy air which in
vites the house dweller out of doors is
apt to make mollycoddles of those
whose activities do not force them to
face all weathers. After weeks of fine
fall weather especially most persons
will dodge the other kind when they
can.
There is often more danger to health
and we'll being in lodging ''bad wealth
err" than in facing it. The lungs and
blood cry for fresh air in all weathers,
and the close air Of a house breathed
too long may do more harm than the
damp or biting air of the storm. The
gospel of fresh air is one to practice
continually, let the weather man rule
as he may.

Nature Still Crops Out In Football

Nature Still Crops Out In Football.
The announcement on the eve of the
great football game that President
Eliot would shortly retire from Har-
ward was followed by a shifting of
players in the Yale team. Perhaps the
boys Of Eli thought the announce
ment was ruse to throw a scare
into them" If President Eliot, who
has championed "denatured" athletics
of all kinds for colleges, abandons the
cause it must be because Harvard's
men refuse to give up kicking and
gouging, and challengers should pre-
pare for a brutal game. Instead of TAX
ing it as scare, the Yale men accept
ed it as a dare.
The protests Of DR.. Eliot and others
of influence in the college world against
brutal football or too much football
and other sport have possibly aroused
false hopes as. to the tanning Of the
gridiron. Over 200 casualties, includ-
ing several that proved fatal. in the
first ten months of 1908 seem heavy
toll to exact from the little bands Of
brave boys who make sport for the
crowd out Of sheer loyalty to college

Representative Humphreys once

One.' Careful and exhaustive study
by the government agricultural depart
ment has proven that the poor roads
of the nation place a tax of not less
than quarter of a billion dollars a
year on those who use them. The
farmers, of course: pay the bulk of
this in wear and tear on vehicles and

soaked for worthless mining, air line,

same papers either refer to it as a
rascally swindle or hush it up

Mud and Honesty.

A foreigner who has been in this
country taking notes says that the
American children are kept too clean.
They are robbed Of the natural heri-
tage of every child and held ready for
parade in and out of season. The de-
sire to get close to Mother Earth is an
instinct Of nature. The earth is clean
and sweet, and it's only a fnical dis
tinctiOn in color that makes honest
smut unseemly There's honesty be-
meath muddy feet and hands and
frocks and trousers. A child with that
outlet won't take the trouble to sneak
and lie. Often a child is "hauled in"
from an orgy with mud pies. spanked,
washed and clothed afresh, only to go
straight out and offend again in the
race OF another licking. If evil comes
OF it, it should be laid to the punish
ment and not to the mud. Punishment
leads to deceit and to pastimes on the
sly which leave no trail.
The wife of rich self made man
placed her son in fashionable board
ing school with the single proviso that
he was to "have good time regard
less of expense" The father had had
TO work hard when a boy and wanted
his hopeful brought up differently. So
long as the money lasted the boy es-
capped hard work and honest smut. but
it is needless to say he reveled in
sW1ll. Nature must have her pay day
from rich and poor. Soft hands and
splck and span clothes may be a badge
OF snobbery. but they are not a patent
of nobility. Children will learn to be
clean and tidy when they come to it
by the road that leads to self respect
and they'll never forget the why and
wherefore of the new birth. PLAY that
leaves its mark on the child, like toll
that leaves CRIME on the hands.
teaches resourcefulness and self con-
troll. Mud will come off, but some
times play that is clean puts a faint
on character that neither the rod nor
prayers can take away.

A Chance to Protect Labor.

Dispatches from the old country
state that the result of the national
election here was celebrated in many
parts Of Europe where there were re-
turned immigrants in great numbers.
Moreover, these immigrants promptly
packed their chests to return and get
another slice Of our prosperity. When
leaving us in the dull time they car
ried away over $1o0,o00,0o0 Of our
money, and, having disposed of it,
they are coming for another big haul,
cheered by the stay at homes, who
profit one way and another by the
venture.
No doubt the foreign steamship COM
panies had agents in the front ranks
of the shouters during these public re-
joicings, some of which. we are told,
we're ZealouSly encouraged by the local
authorities. The demonstrations were
not for America at all, but for the gold
that is to be found here. When these
raiders land here again they should be
shown that America is for people who
believe in the country and stand by it
through thick and thin. We have un-
employed labor here, and no alien
should get job so long as there is an
American citizen ready to take hold.
This is a legitimate method Of pro-
tecting our own laborers. The wages
earned by this class will be invested
here. At the height of prosperity
few years ago we were glad to see the
Storage crowds coming over. Their
muscle was needed. But now that we
are at the turning Of the tide, with
thousands of native and nationalized
citizens out Of work, employers should
see to it that those who are nailed to
American SOIL, so Ito speak, get the
best employment before these fair
weather Americans are taken on. Let
immigrant laborers see that. America
takes care Of its own first They need
the lesson, and If they go back home
in sulk so much the better. Ameri-
can prosperity should light upon Amer
leans first. III. ~" III

The Age Limit For Women Teachers.

The Ago Limit For Women TeacheEs.
By slip in reporting Professor G..
A. Scott Of the Boston Normal>school
was made to father, the theory that
women teachers past thirty are use
less" The Oslerism seems, however,
to have originated with an anony-
nous contributor to the current Popu-
lar Science Monthly. This writer
frankly contends that it is all right to
use the young woman from maturity
onward, while she is the most viva
cious, the most animated, the most
energetic and the best fitted for train
ing the young" After devoting her
golden years" to the general welfare
she should be retired and pensioned.
The argument is that an unmarried
woman after thirty is an "old maid;;''
her fate has soured her and she is not
fit for teaching. The New York Even
ing Post pronounces this theory "pure
nonsense, combination of false his
tory and amateur psychology" The
idea that only very young women are
companionable with girls of school
age, as the author asserts, is a novel
one to find in the pages of scientific
magazine. Almost every home and
about every school district in the land
can show records to refute it. Less
motherly than the married woman the
unmarried teacher may perhaps be,
and for that very reason the best
guide and monitor. Her sway will be
intellectual, rather than emotional, ap-
pealing to the head rather than the
heart.
