SIR: DON'T WRECK MY HOME

"SIR: DON'T WRECK MY HOME
 They do some things extremely well over in England. For instance, man wrote letters to another mans wife be- ginning, My Little Duck That il not the thing we'll done, nor is it pecu. liar to England.
 But there is more to tell. The fol lowing letter to the man from the hus- band turner up in the London divorce court:
 ''Sir-May appeal to your honor as gentleman, and beg of you to cease paying attention to my wife, Mrs. Veg ener, and cease making appointments with her.
 ''She said to me you are quite honor able, and hope you will act in tha, way. Surely 1t cannot be your intcn- tion to break up our home, and make miserable all concerned in this family
 Now. most anybody would ready bet that so straightforward an appeal would be effective.
 But not so. The only response the husband got was this from his wife:
 Dear Willy-In answer to yours of yesterday. can only tell you tha. it is of no use whatever to come back here again. My aversion to you is SC great that 1t would be utterly impos- sible to live under the same roof with you. Yours, ELSA"
 Whereupon the injured husband went to the divorce court, and in spite of the extreme difficulty of securing divorce in England, he was granted decree and awarded s5,o0o damages against the honorable man.
 It is all a small affair.
 In our own country, where divorces are so shamefully common, 1t may strike many as being small affair indeed.
 But it must strike many others that this husbands letter is a peculiarly pathetic one. appealing directly for all that an honest husband must hold most sacred.
 Surely this deluded wife made sad ly erroneous choice of an honorable man, giving up the true gold for the dross.

THE FLETCHER IDEA

Nr. Charles Fletcher, the man who
 has insisted, 10, these many years. that what we need in this country to make
 us healthy and wealthy and wise is less
 eating and more chewing. has abandon.
 ed his attempts to teach the rich any
 thing to their advantage in this regard, and announces that he will confine his
 benign efforts in the future to tho poor CT classes only.
 On the whole. we are not sure but that this is wise decision It is hard to instil wisdom, as it relates to the sensible conservation of physical ener- gy, into people who do not find it nee
 essary to pay any particular attention to their bank accounts. The man who
 comes to the eradication of his every whim will go on dining. we suspect, for many years to come as he has in the past, regardless of his doctors advice, the well-intentioned suggestions of real friends, the promulgations of students of things gastronimic. and so forth and 30 on.
 If, however, as MT. Fletcher contends, our bodies would fare better on less food than We now undertake to assimi-
 late on an average, provided the said food were masticated to a point we may
 designate as 100 per cent beyond the point to which 1t is onw masticated, and
 all cravings of hunger and appetite are satisfied. too, we feel sure experiments under his theory would prove interesting and beneficial. It being. seemingly, i'm possible to head oil the high cost cf living in any manner, in SO far as 1t relates to the price of those things com monly entering into our daily diet, it
 appears to us that it would be an excel lent measure of economy to tdopt some method of feeding whereby the supply deemed necessary to contented exist ence might be radically cut down. People who dine habitually on lobster
 a la Newburg, planked shad, pate de
 foie gras, and other dishes of like per suasion, as the various seasons indicate, will not be deeply interested in this
 question from the point of view noted
 to be sure. But that section of human ity, large and growing, that finds 1t necessary to keep the inner man unre-
 bellious through the instrumentahty of
 potatoes, rice, occasionally beefsteaks, chops and the like, will find much to chew upon mentally in the Fletcher idea If one portion of corned beef
 and cabbage, scientifically, exhaustively
 and deliberately masticated, can be
 made to do the work of two portions
 disposed the old way. and that with no loss in the pleasure of eating, why is it not the short road to grocer's bill
 appreciably smaller than the one we
 are at present paying7
 All in all. we think Fletcher is the poor mans friend, and 1t is possible that he sets up a rule of procedure likely to prove fruitful indeed, if fol lowed conscientiously.

A JUDGE AND A PRovERB


 .'The old Spanish proverb says, We are all just as God made us. and some of us good deal worse,'" said William .. Gaynor, justice of the supreme court, New York, in speech to the Citizens union, the other day.
 When Justice Gaynor makes speech it's as refreshing as when he decides a lawsuit. In both eases he cuts out the friIls and the quibbles and gets right down to hard sense.
 "If there be shortcomings in munic- ipal administration, said the judge, ''there are also grave ones in judicial administration. Don't be deluded into the belief that everything is perfect there. Perfection does not belong to any of the sons of men, and your judges are only human.
 ''I am not of those who believe that the courts should not be criticised the same as the other branches of govern ment, and can be kept up to a proper standard in no other way.
 ''The ludicrous thing is for judges themselves to proclaim that the courts should not be criticised. There has been an epidemic of such nonsense of late. These same judges 80 delicate about criticism and yet indelicate enough to claim that they should be free from it, are probably sadly in need of public attention and criticism.
 ''The laws delay in this country, not to mention anything else, is scanda- lous.
 ''The last time was here we respect fully criticised the decision of the high est court of this state, then just rem dered. that an act of our legislature that women should not work in factories between nine o'clock at night and five o'clock in the morning dust think of it's moderation-from nine at night to five the next morning) was unconsti- tutional and void, in that 1t deprived them and also their employers of that liberty which the constitution guaran- tees in the words that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. The SUI preme court of the United States has re- versed our court and held that statute to be good
 The time the judge refers to he crit icised the state court, saying that it forgot the life. liberty and happiness of the employees, while 1t was overly zealous to safeguard those rights in the employer. At that time there was dreadful furry. "Anarchyi" cried some. "A judge criticising court; scandalousl' cried another.
 And now the supreme court of the United States says the court was wrong and the critic was right.
 Let Us remember that:
 It is not judges, but justice, that is sacred.

n THIS sroRY IS rRuEl


 Prom Niles, Mich, comes the story that an inventor named Benson has solv- cd the problems that scientists for gen. srations have been baffied blythe turn ing of coal directly into power. with cut burning.
 We all know that when we burn coal to mako steam most of its energy goes up in smoke. and is wasted in other ways We waste 1t in manner like that of eating the skin of fowl and throwing away the body. or drinking the foam from the glass and throwing away the liquid.
 With our coal supply in danger of exhaustion, the story from Niles be- comes interesting.
 The inventor is said to grind up tho coal into powder and force it into a hot retort with chemical-laden air, where 1t suddenly explodes and enters q chamber at pressure of 500 pounds to the square inch, being all consumed, and driving the engine with no smoke or other waste.
 The United States government has discovered that coal dust is explosive. Long ago it was found by the blowing up of several fouring mills in Minneap- elis that the dust of wheat is as explo- sive as gunpowder. Scientists have long considered the explosion of pow der, dynamite and nitro glycerine as possible modes of running machinery. So that the explosion of powdered fuel in chamber as a driving force for mechanism is not incredible as 1t may at first seem. Even If the Michigan story be not true. the direct conversion of coal to power may be looked for in some similar way at any time.
 What would be the effect of such discovery?
 All the steam engines would be at once out of date. Ships and locomotives would carry only pound of fuel where they now carry thousand. Electricity would become so cheap that it would be cheaper to cook and heat with it than to burn coal Power from plants using coal would be cheaper than wa ter power. The sawdust from a furni- ture factory, powdered and converted into power. would run the machinery for half dozen factories of equal size. The independent coal operators would be able to furnish all the coal needed in the country, and the trust would have to buy all the mines or go out of business. The Ignite beds of the west would yield more coal than the whole nation could use. warships would be able to sail twice around the world with tenth of their present quota of fuel. Bremen would be out of jobs. The stoking would be done with little dust carrier the size of toy. The coal cars of the railways would, nine hundred and ninety-nine out of thousand of thenl haul something else. The car shortage on the railways would be thing of the past. The farmers could powder their straw, convert into power and generate electricity to light and heat their houses and do their cooking. The smoke of the cities would be thing of the past London fog would pass away with Pittsburg smoke. The Standard oil company would be put out of business with cheap electricity. Baer would be 1 stripped bare. Coal enough for great factories could be shipped anywhere at nominal cost. A new era would be ushered in. The effect on the man who 1 has nothing to sell but his labor would se--what7 Figure on that minutel

PROTEST FROM A POLITICIAN

''There Is nothing due to political parties except so far as they serve the public good. In selecting ones party he should select the one that seems to him, under all circumstances, best suited to promote public interests. No citizen owes allegiance, loyalty or anything else to party beyond that measure. We cannot separate party from the people if we arc to succeed. But the people may separate from the party.
 "The abuses within parties are in the management, and the public will observe tha. they are caused by organi- zation within organization, and it is that inner organization that the people should prevent. The primary election system is the true basis on which the people may break up the inner cir cles.''
