WE'D. OCT. 10, 1910,

The contestsbetween Mr.. Bert
ram and Mr.. Powers is one that
ought to interestEevery good citi-
zen in this district. 1t is one of
far reaching influence and will
largely determinei GU r moral
worth and standing with the peo-
pie Of other States. = In fact, to
outsiders, t h el nomination of
Powers is considered by Repub-
licans as tremendous party mis-
take and by Democrats as a dis
credit and shame to the district.
His election, to say the least that
can be said, would not add any,
thing to the credit of his party
or to the honorsofsth people he
would represent. :. 1t would vir-
tually saysto,. the outside world
that characterss.and reputation
cut no figure in the political life
of the Eleventh Kentucky. 1t
I woulds.mean ssthat party passion
and prejudice are stronger than
love of!Hcountry and advance
ment, that the'people of this dis
trict endorse the b a d instead
o f battling for t h e good.
His nomination was i'll advised
and came through the channels
Of bitter political resentment,
stirred into action by himself and
a few of his ardent friends who
are thirsting for power and prom
inence. In his campaign against
Congressman Edwards no refer
ence to his fitness for good SER
vice to the district was made,
but on the contrary the sole reli-
ance of winning was on arousing
political prejudice, resentment
and sympathy. Why he should
stand so high in the estimation
of his partisan friends can not be
explained dnless they are indif-
ferent to the worth of good repu-
tation. He has never rendered
any great service to his party,
has never proven any extraordi-
nary ability or fitness in service
to the State. He was victim
Of circumstances where a strong
mind and God fearing man would
not have been entangled and like
Pratt, Marshall and Burk emerged
without the stain CT suspicion.
He stands to-day thrice convict
ed for an awful crime but he en-
joys liberty by Execution elem
ency. His lecture Right on The
Scaffold and Wrong on The
Throne" was exploited for his
own political and financial well
fare and misled many good Re-
publicans into his support who
would not otherwise considered
him congressional timber. He was
pardoned SO stated, to end a
strife that had existed since the
tragic death of Mr.. Goebel but
it did not end, for through his
appeal to his party he posed as
a martyr and secured the nomi
nation. His opponent, Senator
Bertram is'aan upright man o.
good ability, one who is repre-
ssenting this district in the inter
est Of the entire people. In TIL

know l found 1t very easy to shift
from coffee to Postum and not mind
the change at all?
Almost Immediately after I made
the change found myself better, and

To Catch Woodcock.

He who desires to take the wood
cock must put on cloak and gloves,
the color Of dead leaves. and conceal
his head and shoulders beneath a
brown hat. leaving only two small
holes to see through. He must carry
in his hands two sticks covered with
cloth of the same color, about an
inch of the ends OF which must be
of red cloth, and. leaning upon
crutches. must advance leisuEely to-
ward the woodcock. stopping when
the bird becomes aware of his ap-
proach. When the woodcock moves
on he must follow until the bird
stops without raising its head. The
fowler must then strike the sticks to-
gether very quickly (moult bellement), :,
which will SO amuse and absorb the
woodcock that it's pursuer may take
from his girdle rod, to which a
horsehair slip moose is fastened, and
throw this around its neck, for 1t is
one of the stupidest and most foolish
birds that are known.-Dr. Peter

Why He Wouldn't PAY.

The conductor on Dorchester car
was very hot and tired and his car
was SO crowded he had hard work col
lecting the fares; so when he came
along and saw a man standing on the
running board and little three-year-
old child occupying an end seat near
him. he said combatively: You'll
have to give me fare for that little
girl"
I'm sorry" said the man calmly.
"but ! refuse to do it,
A heated argument followed. during
which the conductor demanded his
rights and the man calmly refused. At
last the latter said, with laugh: "One
reason why I won't pay for the child
is that she is not mine and she is
not with me."-Boston Record.

to have oners OF marriage, OF
course-more offers than a good-look-
ing girl without any cash. Sally Plum
began to have offers. The first came
from Deacon Harper. The deacon was
nifty, had four children. and was
looking around for a good thing. He
dropped In to court Sally. The
mother left them together a whole
uttered during the three long hours
was In reply to the deacon's question
as to why she was 80 silent. She
thought for q moment and then re-
piled:
cause i've got stone bruise on
my he'll"
The deacon didn't relinquish his
plans. but he felt tired.
The merchant of the village was an
old bachelor. He had known Sally
for years and years. Considering that
$4,000, with the additional fact that
her mother owned her house and that
he could live there rent free. 1t
wouldn't be a bad match for him.
He also went wooing. Sally was cut

cut and sewed and wound them into
balls. and he talked and talked He
had been to New York. Boston and
Chicago. He had seen a man hung.
H had almost seen a mad dog. His
brother John had been robbed on the
hid way. All these things he men
toned in hope of drawing Sally out.
She didn't draw. She kept the same
sober face and silent lips from start
to finish. There were times when she
looked at the man. but what's look!
The merchant worked harder. to
draw Sally out and break the ice than
he ever had to sell $500 worth Of
goods, but not word from her until
he had his hat in his hand to 60

She asked:

The third candidate was William
simms. He was twenty-three years
old and worked in sawmill. He was
a plain-faced young man and not
much given to talk. He came court
ing with small package In his hand.
and when left alone with Sally he
handed her the package with the
remark:
Some spruce gum that got on
the logs this afternoon"
Sally accepted and began to chew.
She was knitting that evening. Mr..
Simms canted his chair back on its
hind legs against the vail and said
nothing further. He had killed a big
black snake in the mill yards that
day, but he didn't mention It, He

Senator Stevenson's Cow.

Senator Stevenson, of Wisconsin,
who Is one of the oldest members of
that distinguished body, the house of
lords, has other interests besides
those over which Vice-President Sher-
man holds the gavel. He gets every
week from his farm in Wisconsin a
seven days report of just how much
milk and butter his fine cows produce,
just how valuable are the eggs which
his fine hens lay, and so on through
the gamut of farm stock and produc-
tons. His pet COW is a Holstein, and
her name is Gertrude Wayne. He
says she is a good old GIRL" and he
is willing to stack up her milk and
butter products against those of the
White House COW or any other bovine
in the country.

CALLS JAIL A PEST HOLE
Warden Of Washington 8astile Com.
pares 1t With the "BIack Hole
of Calcutta"

The Jail of the District of Columbia
was compared to the "Black hole OF
Calcutta" by Warden Thomas Mckee
before the Brotherhood of the First
Congregational church in Washington.
The warden said the jail was a men
ace to public health and safety and a
disgrace to the District government
There are cells in the jail for 48
women, the warden said, but 125 have
to be packed therein like cattle in a
car. Into cells made for the accom-
mediation of $40 men, 685 men. black
and white. are crowded.
The warden thinks a prison farm
would be far preferable to Jail in
the District. He considered that such
farm would earn profit for the
government and save the 100000 or
more that has to be paid annually for
the maintenance of the Jail and the
prisoners.
The warden is impressed. that the
whole system of penal institutions in
the District needs reformation and in.
stead Of sending young men and won.
en- to Jail it would be more humane
for the future citizenship to send them
to an institution conducted along the
lines of the National Training School
for Boys, where they could be taught
trades Of usefulness.
Begin the reform l ask for with
the children. Don't wait until the
weddings commit crime until you
send them to a reform school. Let
the government, national, state, coun-
ty and municipal, look after those
weak physically, mentally and moral
ly, take them in hand and give them
training, educationally, manually
and morally, that will make them
good and useful citizens and eliminate
the rising generation from the posi-
BILE classes Of criminals.
Instead of building jails and work
houses, establish big farm. where
criminals can be given work and
made to support themselves. Give
me the prisoners that come annually
to the Jail and workhouse on 500
acre farm and I'll make them self
supporting and turn over to the gov
eminent annually large profit, in
stead Of having to pay out 100000 or
10 ore for their maintenance. This
would be more humane and certainly
taore economical"

Rar+hoIdt His Own Chauffeur.

Congressman Bartholdt of st. Louis
is the proprietor, or rather owner, of
a brand new automobile. Having q
taste for mechanics and knowing how
to turn g steering wheel, shift few
levers and press a few buttons, the
Missouri congressman has determined
to be his own chauffeur and is taking
rides about Washington. So far he
has not been able to induce many of
his friends to go with him, for, though
they know he is a great peace advo-

that even in the peaceful pursuit of
running an automobile he might be
dangerous until he becomes a trife

SAYS EGGS ARE TOO SMALL
DR.. Wiley Declares Hens Are Being
Trained to Produce Little
Eggs.

Eggs laid by the great American
hen are too small, according to DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, chief Of the bureau
of chemistry, department of agricul-
ture. The doctors theory is that a
hen has just so much reproducing
capacity, taken in bulk, and that the
aim of breeders is to increase the
number of eggs by reducing their
size.
DR.. Wiley expounded his views to
the District of Columbia commission
ers at the public food hearing. The
agricultural chemist began his adj
dress by declaring that bread should
be sold by weight and not by the loaf.
He would also have law prohibiting
a baker from making loaf contain
ing more than 35 per cent. moisture
and would regulate the handling of
bread in it's delivery from bakery to
grocer.
tIn an egg we get less and less
weight of nutriment, so that the hen
will be able to lay more eggs to be
sold at rate per dozen." said DR..
Wiley.
$50 also with bread. We should
have a law that makes the bakers sell
loaves by the pound. We should pay
less for light loaves than we do for
heavy loaves. It is the same way
with other foods. When l pay 80
cents for box Of candy, called a
pound, l do not want to pay two cents
for the box 1t is the same way with
packages of breakfast food.
ut should extend to other forms of
food - this anti-package business.
People should know, for instance, how
much olive oil they are getting, or
how much potato chips, or crackers.
The poor man pays nickel for a
glass of beer. How much beer does
he get-and how much suds? If he
pays five cents for beer he ought to
get beer and not suds."
DR.. George M. Kober followed DR..
Wiley, arguing for pure food regu.
lation limiting the moisture in bread
to IS per cent He said that moisture
above that quantity was quite likely
to form fungi and other unpleasant
growths on bread.
