The San Francisco graft prosecu-
lions differ from all other similar ef-
forts for civic purity. They have be-
come almost an institution, proving
that such endeavors for honesty and
the square deal are not necessarily
sporadic, leading only to reaction.
They serve also as continual warn
ing to corrupt officials and corrupting
special interests in other American
cities, says the Kansas City Star. The
dramatic incident, where Heney's and
Burns men made wholesale arrests
among the attorneys and special retain
ers Of "the men higher up," was like
wise refreshing demonstration that
the state, when represented by aggres-
s1ve, resourceful servants, can exert
as much ingenuity and pertinacity for
promoting fair trial as rich and pow
erful defendants can and do for de-
feattng Justice. Interest in the fight
for municipal square dealing in San
Francisco has not languished, as the
cynics and lawbreakers usually count
upon its doing. On the contrary, 1t has
grown, and to-day there is no public
action Of more dramatic intensity trans
piring on the American political stage
than the splendid effort for right things
In the Pacific coast city.

optlmIst Day.

Folly will give place to better kind
OF joyousness II the optimist can in.
duce the American people to steal
from the calendar the day that has its
roots In English tradition as All Fools
Day, says the Baltimore American.
There is really no reason for the per-
petuation of this purely English insti-
tuition in this country. 1t has degen-
Grated into a day for questionable wit
ticisms and has no signifcation that
endears 1t to the minds Of the intelli-
gent people. The proposition to con-
vert 1t into day for sunshine, for
CHEEKY salutation, for the sweeping OF
life's way with the beams of gladness
comes from the Optimist club. This Is
one of the finest organizations in the
country, whose tenets are tonic, whose
prescriptions are invigorating, whose
pass words are brotherly greetings. Its
ends are admirable. 1t points up to the
blue.
Such men as Andrew Carnegie and
Rev. DR.. Slicer are leaders in the un-
dertaking to give realistic turn to
the whimsicality Of the English essay
list to extract sunshine from cucum-
bers. All Fools Day should be taken
from clownish pranks and be made to
bear tribute to the spirit of the season.
The beginning of April, even when In
tears, is radiated with sunshine and
well pictures forth life itself So that
the first day of April would be fine
day to dedicate to the spirit of optim-
ism that is SO strong in the breasts of
Americans. 1t would be a purely
American holiday and should serve
fine purpose and give national emphas-
is to the brighter views Of life. OPP
timist Day would spread the gospel of
smile.

"coFFEE DOESN'T HURT ME"

In spite of revolutions, mosquitoes
and freight rates, Central America
manages to trade its banana crop for
prosperity. The banana plant is as in.
dustrious as 1t is picturesque, work
ing all the year round, nights, Sun
days and legal holidays and while the
owner sleeps. When a self-picking
banana plant is developed and the fly

north with his crop under his own
wings life in that locality will be in

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great.
or strength than other makes.

How Cattle Suffer From Dogs.

Joseph Mercer, state live stock sani.

damage to live stock than the mango,
black leg, lump jaw and all the other
known diseases combined. "A dog
goes mad" says Mr. Mercer, "and In.
fects half a dozen cattle in herd.
These have to be killed. Other dogs
chase the stock around over pastures
and run more flesh off them than can
be put on in week. The stockmen
Of the state should see that half the
dogs In the state are killed"
