VOTERS BEAT TOM JOHNSON
Cleveland Mayors 8 Cent Carfare
Grant Beaten in Referendum.

Mayor Tom L. Johnson on Tuesday
received the most severe defeat OF his
career in Cleveland when the Schmidt
street railway grant was turned down
at the referendum election by a ma
jority of 1893 votes after a campaign
which has been the most bitter of re-
cent years. The vote stood: For the
grant, 31,022; against, 34,7S5.
the Schmidt grant provided for q
3 cent fare line on Payne avenue for
distance of two and one-half miles
and was intended as the basis of a
system that would absorb all the fran
chises of the Cleveland railway COM
pany as they expired next January,
and force a settlement of the eight
years fight on terms to suit Johnson.
With the defeat of the Schmidt
grant, the alternative evidently. de-
sired by the public is the so-callsd

RECORD CROPS IN NORTHWEST.

Wheat and Corn Break All Records
i'm Minnesota and DalSOtas.
The Northwest has raised a great
crop of grains this year. Harvest is
at hand and the cutting of grain is
general in Minnesota and South Dako-
ia, and is crowding into North Dako-
ia. The record will be broken as to
wheat and corn, and probably oats and
fax, while barley will hold its own
and may prove to be a record crop
also. 1t will require 1915, 100000 to
$500, 100000 to purchase these crops at
present prices. No other statement is
necessary to emphasize the prosperity
that has come once more to the people
of the Northwest.

Of Passing Interest
A Good Iniunction pisreeardea

The recent death of the keeper of hotel in New York city, noted for its sporting clientele, affords an illustra- tl0n that citizens of one kind or distine- tion are sometimes without honor in their own country. Certainly the in junction "De mortus nil hui bonum' is wholly disregarded when the Free Press of Detroit, whence came this boniface, chillingly remarks:
 The work of local comm issoners of roliee has been simplfed since the days when the gang was in its ascer. dancy in this city. The instances in which overbearing and insulting con dnct toward peaceful citizens in pub lie places, followed by an assault if rosented. was attributed to the gang were very many. Divers whimsical outrages that could be inspired only ny great audacity and lawlessness plus much whisky, would have a place in a collective biography of the gang
 All of which goes to show either 8 lingering resentment in Detroit, or the absorptive and tolerant qualities of a metropolis. One moral, whatever it be, may best be drawn by the associates of the departed. The chief value or such "reminiscences is the possible i'm pression upon them.

Dangers of the Marathon

It is Dr. John Girdner, wellknown publicist of New York, who rises to protest against the abuse of the mod. ern Marathon v race. He asserts pos itively that no human heart can be trained to condition that will permit it's owner to run twenty-six miles at top speed without exposing him to the danger of collapse and sudden death, or without bringing about conditions which favor the development of disease in later life He declares that the prolonged strain affects not only the heart, but every organ of the body. He summarizes vividly:
 ''The circulation being completely upset, normal nutrition and elimination are for the time destroyed The body IS burned up so rapidly that its poison ous gases and other deleterious products the smoke, ashes and elinkers, as it were. from this unwonted fire raging within it--cannot be gotten rid of as rapidly as they are formed, so the blood and every tissue soon become loaded with poison. This auro-infection, together with the drowning of the heart in its own blood, exposes the run ners in Marathon race to collapse inconsistencies and sudden death.''

Collegiate Flirting

The necessity of exact use of words in discussion of questions sociological surely ought to he appreciated by one whose calling it is to guide others. Yet a Harvard professor comes fortb with the announcement that what he calls " frting' is not only advisable but imperative for the average college boy and girl. Now, the professor may be quite right. He should know something of his subject, for he is reported as contemplating third marriage. But he makes the general assertion that the students of Harvard and Radcliffe give too much time to study and too iitt'e to flirting. The one consolation about the professor free dispensation of generality that is not glittering is that if is unlikely to do any serious harm. The American boy and girl of wears and discipline sufficient to enter col legiate life at Cambridge or elsewhere are able as rule to manage their mv. tual social relations. Their books and their ambitions are their best chaper ons. Of course, the frivolous need guardianship everywhere; but the pro lessor is assumed to he speaking abou; young persons whose forward perspec- tive of life'is reasonably earnest.
