through synod week they could not say
enough in praise and gratitude to their
hostesses. As consequence Miss
Jane and Miss Abby forgot either TO
scold or to suspect. Carried away by
the tide of hospitable impulse. they
showed for what they were-excellent
gentlewomen Of the first rank.
AS for Minerva, she fairly blossomed.
Even the most callous onloOker saw in
her a new creature. She was so "a
diant, indeed. that before three days
were out Professor Balderson, a sea
soned bachelor. made up his mind to
marry her If be could. He changed

let fall words of wisdom.

half an hour he was right down crest
fallen; then he flung up his head and
actually whistled. Possibly the sight

all through the days following he kept
pretty close to her. Miss Jane was In a

had never before tolerated anybody's

The Tariff PIanks.

William Jennings Bryan says that
the democratic party is facing the
same internal problem that the re-
publican party must solve, and that is
the problem oe making the people re-
spect the platforms on which they are
chosen. He does not defend those
democrats who repeatedly voted for
upward revision any more than he
would defend those republicans who
ignored the promise Of his platform
more binding by explicit mandates on
representatives Of the democratic
party. To make revisions more diff
cult and to make promises more i'm
pressive he would have the democratic
party put into its platform certain spe-
cific reductions in regard to the tariff,
together with such general limitations
of duties as would eliminate from the
tariff system the worst instances of
extortion. This, says the Peoria Star.
is good sense. Heretofore both parties
have contented themselves with GER
tain vague promises on this subject.
When in power they found themselves
confronted by powerful ring. consist
ing Of members of congress, each one
clamoring for special privileges for his
section.
The lumber men demanded an
advance, the wool men followed

claiming anxiously: Fetch DR.. Bell!

Afternoon service was just about to

ting the crowd inside the church It
was easy to mask Miss James faint as
something else.
"Oh, I-I-turned my ankle" she
herself said, shifting the salts Sister
Brown held under her nostrils.
''Then we must take you straight
home" the professor said as one In
authority. looking into her eyes while
he nodded toward Minerva and her
sweetheart.
Miss Jane began to say family.
"Abby-where is sbe?" But Sister
Brown checked her with a significant
smile.
Don't you worry about Miss Abby"
she said "Just let them put you in
the barouche and go along. Or. Hen

doctor looked quizzicaIly from her to
Minerva. then on to the professor and
young Lee, whence his eyes wandered
to Miss Abby and her prize, just now

with another great laugh. ''of matri-

4 Marvellous Achievement.

An achievement closely bordering
the marvellous in the development of
electrical science and one whose i'm
portance IN around-the-world commun-
ication can hardly be measured at the
moment was that of the steamship
Minnesota of the Great Northern line
in keeping in touch throughout its
latest voyage across the Pacific with
the wireless telegraph stations both at
Seattle and the Japanese ports. When
it was 3,628 miles from Seattle on it's
way to Yokohama it exchanged mes
sages with the station at the former
port, reported conditions and news
aboard ship and received the latest
world news of the day for the benefit
of its passengers and crew: it was a
record breaking feet, for the distance
SPAWNED by the messages Is far great
er than that from the fartherest east
ern station on the Nova Scotia coast
to the fartherest western station on
the coast of Ireland-and messages
transmitted between these had there
tofore held the. record for the long
distance wireless telegraph It is of
great Significance. too, that the Min
nesota's messages were sent from the
ordinary ships aerial, whose appar-
! atus has an electric power Of only
five kilowatts, while the Nova Scotia
ireland messages are transmitted from
towers Of great altitude whose appar-
atus has a so kilowatt power. There
was no time during the entire voyage
when the ship could not have talked"
with either Seattle or Yokohama, or
with both and It might have picked
up other vessels in the trans-Pacific
'1ane" had it been necessary or Of any
particular interest.
The possibilities in cross-seas and
cross-continents communication thus
opened up fairly stagger the magma
ton. In maritime warfare the advan-
tage is practically incalculable.
If at the time the Spanish feet in
1898 was bottled up" in Santiago har-
Dor the balloon and aeroplane and
wireless telegraphy had reached their
present stage of development, Admiral
Sampson could have captured Ger
vera's ships without the loss of a spar
or shedding a drop of blood or the
spending Of a pound Of powder-and
history would have registered the
same results that it did, though in q
different and far more satisfactory
way to conqueror and conquered.

To simplify Politics.

The fact that the ballots at our gen
eral local elections are SO large as to
be unwteldy has caused demand from
those who believe In pure politics for
a short ballot Organizations N New
York are at work in that direction and
are hopeful OF success so far as that
state Is concerned. The election ballots
in Illinois, while perhaps not as large
as those Of New York, are entirely too
long for intelligent use by the voter.
1t has become somewhat of a farce for
people to attend the polls and go
through the motions of selecting 20 or
so officials from ballots containing a
hundred or more names of persons
about whose character and Gualiflca-
tons they scarcely know anything. OF
course the people VIII not select each
of the 90 or 50-they viii only elect
them. No voter on earth ever had or
could have in mind at one time so
many favorites. So the politicians do
the real electing beforehand by placing
trademark Csuch as democrat" or
republican") on certain men, and the
people, if they like some one or more
prominent candidate who bears it, viii
vote for every one else with the same
label. That is. why party bosses can
elect rascals, while the welI-meaning
public is making up its mind about
the head OF the ticket.
Local politics should be simplifed,
so that every candidate responsible to
all the people of the community shall
come within the scope of effective pub
lie discussion. Passing the candidates
through the 1imelight without a party
label viii make possible real selection
and real government by the people.
This greatly needed result will be ac-
complished by the adoption OF the COM
mission form of government Public
discussion would be sufficient under
the commission system to give the
requisite information as to the char
aeter and qualifications of candidates
TO every voter, making it quite un-
necessary for him to become a fire.
quenter OF political headquarters and
caucuses to be instructed by party
bosses how and for whom to vote.
A non-partisan ballot for the cleo
ton of five commissioners would
greatly simplify and improve local
politics.

An Illinois Name.

Our enterprising and vigorous rival
Illinois city of East st. Louis wants
to change its name. It has tired Of
bathing in the reflected splendor Of
AIissouri's metropolis and desires a
name characteristic OF individuality
and independence. For time when
the present city was a struggling vii
lage it gathered strength and prestige
from a name which sounded like a
suburban appendage of the metropolis
of the middle west. Now, however,
East ST. Louis wants to discharge its
foster-nurse as it has outgrown its
swaddling clothes and has become a
Iusty youngster.
East St. Louis is to be commended
for its resolution to sign q declaration
OF independence by changing its name.
AS its present name was useful in it's
childhood, so will name indicative of
Illinois assertiveness help it in it's
further development. Willie is a pref
'ty name for child, but it evolves
into Bill when the lad is old enough to
run away to the swimming hole. East
st. Louis is a great Illinois city. It
doesn't need Missouri's grandeur to
lend it fame or prosperity.
Two names have been suggested.
"Cahokia" and "st. Clair" the former
the name OF the historic Illinois set
Element of that name, and the other
the name of the county in which East
st. Louis is located. Either would be
appropriate and beautiful.
