lrIE.PREss.

In the matter Of moulding of public
sentiment. there Is no greater power
In this country. than that which is
exerted b. the Press. The Newspaper
is expected to keep abreast with all
public questions. and to take Just
and comprehensive view of that which
Is going On, and which concerns the
public. and then to crystallze all this
and serve 1t to It's readers In the most
readily digested form.
The newspaper performs a most
valuable service IN doing this.
We live in . busy age. an age OF
rush, and men have not time. at least
they think they have not, for pains
taking reading. and that meditative
thought. which Il necessary to proper
conclusions.
And 80 they welcome the News
paper. and 10 the man who Is a con-
slant reader. the views Of the paper
he reads. are. Is = rule, bis views. He
takes what the paper says and goes
about hIs business.
More than ever Il this the case. and
never In the history Of the country
was the Press more powerful in es-
tabllshlng public sentiment. than at
the present time.
This means , great responsibility
to the Newspaper. And most of our
influential Journals recognize this and
are responding n ; fair and hon
est way.
1t is incumbent upon every News
paper seeking the public confidence
and patronage. to be clean In Its news
columns and honest IN Its editorials,
and to absolutely avoid the smirching
of private character This Il beneath
respectable Journalism.
A newspaper that will lend Its col
umns to the bIackenlng of private
character. IN order TINT II may sell
its paper b. creating a sensation. is
reprehensIbIe IN the highest degree
and should be froHned upon by every
respectable Journal and b. the COM
munIty n veil The great power OF
the press ought ever 10 BE- exerted for
the promotion Of the highest interests
of the community In this II performs
Its legitimate function.

/. CLEAN ND HEALTHY TOWN.

Nothing + more attractive to a
stranger than the clean streets Of a
town. and We. who have been aeeus-
toned 10 mud and dirt for many
months. must fully realize this fact
from the improved appearance pre-
geuted b Main street and the alleys
next to It. that have been recently
cleaned. L L impossible. however, for
the town authorities In municipal
ity Of Westminateris size. to keep
them always clean without the assist
anoe and aid Of those who live along
the streets. This assistance should
be. and We are sure. viii be. will
lngly given By every one who
has sense Of civic pride; If 1t is not,
there Isan ordinance Of the town which
can compel the performance of this
duty. from which Ne quote
IT shall be the duty of each and
every oeeupIer Of anY house or owner
of anY lot within the city to keep the
gutter IN front Of said house or lot
clean At al times during the months
of July. August and September"
Although this ordinance only re-
qulres the cutters to be kept clean
during the months Of July. August
and September. It would be well to
begin and clean them now. In this
connection attention Is called to an
other ordinance which makes 1t the
duty Of al persons owning or occupy
Ing lots IN the city to keep the streets
and alleys opposite Of adjacent to
them clear Of filth or any other nui-
sanee. and also clear # noxious and
rank weeds. ! proper observance of
these requirements Will make our lit
tie town much better and cleaner and
more attractive 10 everyone during
the coming summer.
The notice which appears elsewhere
in the paper N regards to hog pens,
should be strictly complied with by
every one. 1 L l. not. there will be
no question Of Ita enforcement against
each and every person who falls TO
observe t. and the Mayor and Com
mon Council VII b supported by all
the good citizens Of the town for in
sisting upon the observance of an
ordinance which 4 necessary, not only
for our health. IuI Hhose provisions
appeal to our sense Of deeeney and
cleanliness.

THE AGE OF HONESTY.
Mans criminality Lessons With tho
Advance of Years,

Advance of Years.
DR.. Bertillon opposes the dictum that
the opening of schools means the clos
ing Of prisons. He is reader to be-
lieve that the contrary is true. He
gives statistics showing. that married
men are steadier than others, especial
ly when they have families. owing to
their desire to be honored by their
children. AS showing the value of
woman's control DR.. Bertillon proves
that widowers' criminality equals that
of bachelors even when they have
children. while the criminality Of child.
less widowers is the highest of any
class.
He gives women generally a good
character. He says they are incom'
parably less often criminal than men,
and when they are criminals man is
usually at the bottom of the trouble
Mans criminality is only considerable
to the age of forty and decreases there
after. Old rufians are very rare.

to the vehicle and enables it to sur
mount obstacles and to travel over
rough ice and snow with cas- In
view Of the conditions prevailing and
the work it is intended to fulfill in the
south polar regions. the engine is Of a
special type. 1t comprises four verti-
cal cylinders, cast in pairs and devel-
opfng twelve brake horsepower.
The sleigh is fitted with a runner.
upon which bear the rollers of the
chain. The latter. passing between
this runner and the ground. supports
the whole vehicle and propels it as the
wheels revolve. There are no brakes
provided. as the big reduction ratio Of
the worm renders it completely ire
versible, so that brakes are not neces-
sary. Similarly steering gear is dis
pensed with. as such is not requisite,
for in any open area. such as an ice
field, steering is not demanded. When
it Is required to deviate to the right or
left ropes attached to the front Of the
frame can perform this function.
Turning sharp corners under these cir
cumstances is admittedly exceedingly
difficult, but when working in its de-
signed sphere this drawback will not
be serious, as sharp turning can be
generally avoided.
The sleigh has a substantial wooden
frame, and underneath is fitted a large
undershield. extending from end to end
so as to present a perfectly smooth sur
face to the snow. When the sleigh is
under way u curious fact is observable.
The chain where it touches the ground
appears to stand still while the sleigh
slides over it. This is the motion that
actually takes place. for the top of the
chain travels forward at twice the
speed of the sleigh. 1t will thus be
seen that in reality the lower part Of
the chain in contact with the ground
constitutes a surface over which the
vehicle itself can move.
The driver has his position on a box
behind the engine, which seat forms Il
receptacle for tools, spare parts and
other accessories. That the vehicle
has great climbing power has been con-
clusively proved, for it will ascend
steep banks of earth and ride over seri-
Gus obstacles easily and without any
appreciable diminutiOn in speed.
Although this sleigh can carry a
party and full equipment, its actual
function Is to act as a tractor for the
haulage of ordinary sledges, the trail.
ing vehicles carrying the loads.

The practical success achieved with
the gasoline propelled motor sleighs
on the ~Shackleton and Charcot polar

Scott to include u vehicle Of this type
for his forthcoming dash to the south
pole. This vehicle is. however. dis
tinctly different from the motor sleighs
hitherto used. In the two previous
