ENOUGH AND TO SPARE
Curious Incident in a Kansas Polfff-
 cal Election.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 When Balie Waggener was 9 years old he was nominated by the democrats of Kansas to run for attorney general. Opp posed to him on the republican side was Archie Williams. who was elected.
 Waggener made a hard campaign. All ways possessed of fine oratorical talents, clever and bright a keen student and fine mixer, he went all over the state and seemed to make a lot of headway. He returned to his home at Atchison the day before the campaign closed
 "I guess I'm going to win,' he said to his wife Tt looks that way to me.
 Do you really think so?'' asked Mrs.
 "Yes, I do." was his reply. q think that l can make it all right. I believe that I will be the next attorney general of Kansas"
 Mrs Waggener shared his youthful en', thusiasm. and by the time Balie had talked over the situation at length she, too thought that her husband had cap tured the attorney generalship.
 The night before the election Archie Williams came to Atchison to make a speech. MT. and Mrs. Waggener both went to hear him and sat in the front row Williams made a mastery speech of the old republican kind, Tn Whlch ne pulled the feather out of the eagle in great shape. and padded up his address with fine logic and lot of good hard sense.
 In concluding he said Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to appear before you tonight and commend the fine campaign which your fellow townsman Balie Waggener. made against me. He fought fair and hard fight. He made lots of friends. He made what might term brilliant campaign Now. wish to tell you folks what l would like to see you do. Tomorrow Is election day, and nothing would please me more than to see you Atchison people give Waggener a fine send-off. I didn't want you to vote for me. I mean just what I say. I want you to vote for Balie Wag- gener-all of you regardless of party af- flation. I will be elected. l know. and will have plenty of votes to spare.'
 When MT and Mrs. Waggener got home that night Mrs. Waggener said: "Balie, I somehow doubt your election tomor- row"
 "I feel pretty sure myself said Wag- gener, that Williams will be the next attorney general
 But Atchison took Williams at his word and returned 1900 majority for Wagsener.
 Did Williams have any votes to spare?' was asked of Waggener.
 "About 30.0o0 or so, was the reply, which came with laugh.

 The three women candidates who have already announced themselves are Mime. Durand Mme. Nelly Roussel and Mme. Hubertine Auclerc. All possess husbands and there is one little formality with which they will have to comply. In the man-made French code it will be nec- essary to obtain the consent of their re- spective husbands before they can start on their electioneering campaign to WOO the French elector. But the trio antici- pate that the husbands concerned will speedily captuate when the matter is put before them firmly and energetically.
 Dr. Max Nordau is evidently not among r,ose who believe that the success of the Zionist movement s in sight. 'fThe hopes that were founded on Young Tur- key have proved to be a pure illusion,' v he declares at a meeting held here a few days ago by the French Zionist Fedora ton.
 Tt was" he continued. "an ungrateful duty which I had to discharge at the congress to tell the truth on this sub ject but whatever may be our sentiments in favor of the Young Turks and, all though they may misunderstood us. we have to prove to them our loyalty and to make clear to them the aim which we pursue.
 "The period of waiting" said Dr. Nor dau must continue until the issue of the experiment which the Young Turks are making.
 ."rhe Zionist ambition was by no means to make Jews Turks. but what they did want to seek in Turkey was the accom- plishment of their historic destiny. It was useless to say that it was necessa 4, to go to Palestine now, for since the red ticket was still in force Palestine was closed to them; for that reason he had opposed the foundation of an agraran bank The practical work that was need ed of them at present was to increase their material and strengthen their or ganization-not the cultivation of a few acres of land by certain number of people in Palestine.

 Politicians are now discussing the gen eral elections and the dates of the fight. On this. subject M. Briand, the premier and M. valle, the president. and members of the executive committee of the radi- cal and radical-sociaist party had conl sultation yesterday.

A SCHOOL ON A ROOF
Real Fresh Air Experiment In Chicago Proves That Out Doors Is Good For Children Winter Or Summer


Exclusive Service The Survey Press

 You cannot have consumption in three rooms, on s5 "a week with any success. The poor cannot afford it; the community N the best financed charity organization in the world cannot adequately provide milk, eggs. diet. Sleeping appliances for porches, better quarters. rent. an equiva- lent for wages which will give necessary rest and cessation from toll to the vic tins of this disease. The only salvation is prevention. We have to execute flank movements and cut it off
 The Open Air school now carried on by the United Charities of Chicago is one such effort. Last summer the Chicago Tuberculosis institute conducted such a school for 30 children for about as many days. It gathered in a group of limp, pallid. physically blighted children. They were listless, inattentive, unnterested and uninteresting. A 30-days regime of in- telligent care and feeding, of exercise and rest, resulted in an average gain of seven pounds, and in the opinion of the teachers made the pupils an average group of chl- dren in alertness, ability to sit up and take instruction and to keep up sustained interest in their work. Some people thought that this was all very well as a warm weather enterprise but that It should be put aside with summer cloth ing and the approach of cold weather. To convince these doubters and to clinch progress already made. it seemed very desirable that the experiment be con tinued here. as it has been elsewhere, during the winter.

Civic Religion.

From the Pacific Monthly.
 civic religion, that shall be worth while, cannot come to pass until men place the public welfare above every private interest The rich and the we'll to-do, who seek privileges and protection and fmmunities. are the mainstay of the political bosses. It is just as base to be purchased by the bribe of a nominat tion or a franchise as to be bought or sold by a bribe of money. The public service corporations in our municipalities will be dealt with fairly as long as they are ready to deal suuarely with the people. Let them not urge in defense of bribe- giving that they must have peace.' The citizenship of community will always sustain men who base their appeal to it upon the highest possible grounds.
 No machinery will do the work of civic reform supply the want of civic re- ligion. Cities can be cleaned and kept clean by men and women. Before and beyond all nomination and election re- forms. important though these in truth are. is needed the ceaseless and unweary- ing conservation to the civic veal of the citizen and the patriot. There are voting machines of two kinds. human and mem tai. the human that don't count and the mental that do count. The American must vote, not as a partisan. but as an American not with his lead pencil, but with an enlightened conscience. casting his ballot that is making his citizenship felt. in the spirit of the Freemans Oath of 1884. taken by every voter during the early days of the colony of Massachu~. sets: .t q do solemnly bind myself that I will give my vote and suffrage as I shall judge in mine own conscience may best conduce to the public veal. so help me God" As go the cities, so will go the American republic.

Mysteries of the Dining Car,

"The kitchen of a dining car is a most exaggerated example of the economy of space" says F. M. Graves in the Wo- mans Home Companion for March. 'Ey- cry inch Is used. Water-tanks are sus- pended from the ceiling. One wall is lined with the big range and heating ovens. while on the other are storage boxes, re- ceptaces for pans, pots and other uten- sils, and a row of cupboards up under the ceiling. At one end, between the kitchen and the dining car proper, is a little pantry which serves as q sort of vestibule. That is where the walters place their orders and receive dishes.
 Every separate article of food and equipment has it's place. Every corner and nook in the car has a particular function. The silver is in one place. the milk and cheese in another, the meat in another, and so on through the list Ev- erythng perishable is kept in refriger- ator.
 While the car is in action the con ductor. from his position between dining room and kitchen, keeps his eyes upon the ten tables and endeavors to see that none of the diners Is neglected. For all the supplies on the car he is held to strict account. On his trip sheet as it is called, is put a list of everything taken on the car when it starts out. A record of all articles sold Is entered upon the sheet, and when the car comes nome again all that has not been sold must be on hand.
 ''The equipment of a dining car con- forms to standards just IS do locomo- lives, trucks, rails and ties. Dishes are made according to established patterns, each piece of china having the com pany's monogram upon it. The same is true of the linen, silver, menu-holders- everything. Thus a loss can be easily troa o1a a, month for breakage. All damage in ex- cess of that, though. they have to pay for. and the cost is divided among them equally"

Making Love ln Portugal.
From Lesiie's. f

From Lesiie's.
 The most important event in the life of a Portuguese woman is marriage. Next in importance are the early days of courtship, for a Portuguese courtship is the essence of romance, and the ways of the Portuguese lover are singularly pie turesque. Here is a little drama in which-Cupid is stage director If a young Portuguese sees in the street pretty girl with whom he would like to become ac- quainted, he follows her. Chaperons are not impossible Instructions. He follows her right up to her very door and notes the address. Next day he comes again, and if the young lady approves of him for she certainly saw him the day be- fore-she Is on the lookout Sometimes hard fate in the guise of an angry parent prevents her. and then the gallant youth is kept waiting. Sooner or later she leans over the balcony and smiles at him. The happy youth ties a note to cord which the fair lady drops from the balcony. The next day the young man comes again. This time he rings at the door. If the inquiries which the young lady's elders have made prove satisfactory, the swain is admitted to make the acquaintance of the young lady. After that, courtship in Portugal is about the same as 1t is in Kankakee or Kalamazoo.

the tent. In fair weather the children take their rest hour in the open. Meals are served In the dining room, two floors below, and the daily bath is taken in bathrooms in the building proper
 The Eskimo suits have not been used in any similar school. During their rest period the children are also wrapped in blankets, but restless children often dis place the blankets and become more or less exposed, while the warm loose ft- ting suits stay In place. Moccasins simi- lar to those used by lumbermen are worn.
 This was probably the one school in the city of Chicago where the boys and girls refused to take a vacation. They came back. every one. asking that the school go on during the Christmas vacation On this account alone the Open Air school of Chicago Is unique
 The daily routine of the school is as follows:
 ' 30 to s--Rise and dress.
 8-Breakfast at home. 9-Arrive at school 9 to 9:30-Bath (cold).

S2500 from the Elizabeth Mccormick fund, a memorial to a child. who, although she lived but:12- years. displayed exceptional traits of character Her interest and sympathy for tie unfortunate, her thought and activities in their behalf would have done credit to a person of much maturer years The trustees of the fund are wisely encouraging movements that promise far reaching social signifi- canoe. The Board of Education is CO., operating with the open air school enter prise by furnishing the teacher desks and school equipment.
 Although the different ages of the chil- dren make it substantially an ungraded class. and notwithstanding the division of time necessary to this modified school regime. the teacher has undertaken the work with a spirit and zeal that are in suring success.
 The school has aroused a great deal of interest through the press and among educators and philanthropsts It Is one of many forces that will doubtless result in more fresh air and better health not only for this class of children. but for all children in the public schools Often school ventilating systems will not work unless the windows are shut conse- quently they are kept shut. Then the ventlators fail to work anyway. Loyal ty to a ventiating system seems like a bad case of misplaced veneration.

The Reorganization of Our Navy.

The Reorganization of Our Navy.
on December !, important changes IN
navy yard administration were put into
effect by Mr.. Meyer. the Secretary OF the
Navy" writes an anonymous Contribu-
tor in the issue Of Harper's Weekly for
December l. The Navy Department bu-
reaus are fixed by law, and cannot be
changed by the Secretary. The navy
yard administration, however. can Be
changed at will. The plan OF CONSOLE
dalton effected by Mr.. Newberry. on Feb
ruary l. last. was chiefly the placing Of
all manufacturing and repair at navy
yards under one manager. Under the
old system. each bureau had its own
mach!ne-shop, paint-shop, pattern-shop,
&C. Much credit IS due Mr.. Newberry
for having first put into force the prin-
ciple Of consolidation" But "consolida-
ton Of unrelated trades, even IN the
same locality. cannot be expected TO sue
coed, and Mr.. Meyer has remedIed this
error by dividing the manufacturing and
repair at each navy yard into two dIvi-
sions. There will be a hull division and
a machinery division, each under It's
own manager. The commandant OF the
navy yard viii be the general manager,
and the captain Of the yard, the officer
next in rank. his assistant"
