is wonderfully pleased with it to
date. Watertown and Pierre have
it under consideration and will vote
upon it soon. The application of
the principle to small places has
not been tried in this state, and the
question of greatest concern is one
of compensation. The mayor is
limited to salary of 5000 while
theoretically he is expected to give
his time to the public interest.
The false economy involved is
manifest. Pierre, as an example, a
city of 1900 people and run at an
annual outlay of $4,000 is pre-
cluded from paying a salary that
will command the time of first
class administrator. Experience,
however, is showing the defects of
the organic act and a bit of ex-
perimentation will determine the
legislation necessary to perfect the
method.

Someone Is In Wrong

The continued story that our
contemporary, the Bad River News,
is running, has stirred to the depths
some of the editorial writer's of the
county. The subject of the story is
county division, and is written, not
by any member of the News force,
but by one of our citizens who
seems prone every little while to
start something.
Perhaps he is not writing for
the ediiication of the Review man,
but ut the same time we do not
like his use of the word must" SO
inconsistently. 1t is not the Philip
way, and it does not rest we'll with
a great number of people on the
outside. Philip has it's hopes, and
desires great things for the future,
but it appears to us that the aver
age western man will kick over
the traces mighty quick when we
tell him he must do this or must
do that.
County division is subject of
interest to every man and every
town west of the 9th guide meri-
dian. Every locality may have a
different wish in the matter-it is
quite probable that they have, and
we are not going to come to an
understanding with them by tell
ing them that 1T must come to
Philip"
Philip is for county division,
in way that will be of the great
est good to the greatest number.
Whether it is to be two or three
division will be decided later. We
are inclined to think that the bet
ter way is to get division first and
the county seat afterward. There
are other points in western Stan
ley county that are going to insist
on consideration, whether we like
it or not.
Back up, brother. You've got in
wrong.

pulsory educational qualification
for voters.
If one-third of the voters in a
given community or state lack the
essentials of good citizenship, then
the interests of the whole commun-
ity or state would be best served
if public affairs were controlled by
the qualified two-thirds.
What is needed to-day 10 not a
new party, but a more enlightened
and alert body of voters, having
the power of the "recall' applied
to all Legislative and executive Off
cials, state and federal.
The recall" will require funda-
mental changes in our laws. 1t
would rarely be called into opera
tions. The moral effect of it's exist
ence would be sufficient. Flagrant
abuses of power never take place
just before general election. 1t is
usually one or two years before
the people can voice their senti-
ment at the polls. Before the next
election, the outrage is forgotten.
If the recall had existed the, e
would have been a 'downward''
revision of the tariff.
There would be conversation
OF the nations natural resources.
There would be statesmanlike
legislature embodying the square
deal" for both capital and labor.
There would be no squandering
of millions annually, nor an op-
pressive taxation.
There would be no maudlin con-
tention for an old-age pension for
political barnacles who have be-
come decrepit and are hanging to
a political pull.
The business-like methods of
successful men and corporations
would be applied to the public
service.
What is needed is a higher stan
dard of civil intelligence and a
more elastic system by which an
intelligent constituency can reach
out, and swiftly and effectually
smite an unfaithful public servant.

POLITICAL NEEDS OUTLINED
Education Of Coming Voters the
COuntry's Need

SOuulAy NCCu
To the Argus-Leader: | have
read with profound interest about
the efforts of educators to empha-
size moral training in our public
schools as re medy for grievious
political evils; also a recent politi-
cal analysis by Gen. Conklin,
whom l consider the keenest poll
tical observer in our state, fore
shadowing the foundation of a new
party.
That deplorable conditions exist
may be conceded; but neither NOR
al training nor new party will
reach the root of the evil. For
years it has been my pet hobby
that what we need and must have
in our common schools is suitable
and more elaborate course of in
struction in the science of govern
ment.
The great mass of voters are re-
publicans or democrats by accident
of birth or environmant, and are
swayed by partisan press rather
than by individual research. Nine
voters out of every ten probably
never read a treatise on political
economy or civil government.
They had no special preparation
for performing one Of the most
important functions in a republic
where a voter is, theoretically, q
sovereign. He votes just because
he is male, over twenty-one
years, and SO on, not because he
understands even the fundamentals
of civil government.
l do not underestimate the i'm
portance of moral training. But
this is secured to some extent in
the home, in the Sunday school,
in the church and it's various So
cieties, and in the religious press.
The average man aims TO do
what is right. Out of every hun
drAd voters l believe ninety-nine
are politically honest. They fail to
be such often from lack of infor-
nation, or through misinforma-
ton, and because of a system of
politics that is too complicated for
practical purposes.
Today, the best class of citizens
are too busy as bread winners to
give sufficient time to their obliga-
tions as voters. Too often, they
act impulsively and not wisely,
and then become disguised, and
laspe into condition of hopeless
ness or Indifference.
For the boy of eight or ten years
of age, until ne is twenty-one
there should be provided course
of instruction which would fit him
in q peculiar manner for his duties
as voter.
Before a physician is permitted
to treat the ailments of the human
body, he must demonstrate his
ability to do SO. But any male
twenty-one years of age, and SO on,
may take part in curing the poll
tical ailment of the body polite.
What We need is not universal
suffrage, increasing the number,
and for some time at least, the
percentage of incompetent voters,
but rather we need to eliminate,
though this obviously oan not be
done, those who from want of in
form Ation or comprehension bring
aboutor tolerate conditions that the
careful observer knows is under
mining the foundations of free in
stitutions.

generation there should be q CON-

THE WEIGHT OF THE EARTH.
How II Is Determined-A Cubic Foot
of Earth and of Water.

The earth weighs 100000, 900 ,000,-
100000, 100000 pounds. In strict
sense of the word the earth has no
weight at all, because the weight is
really the pull of the earth itself on
any other body.
And as the earth is thought to be
pulling on all parts of itself equally
in all directions the net result is, of
course, no pull at all. But If large
pair of scales be fixed at some point
of the earth's surface, and If the
earth could be brought up bit by bit,
cubic foot by cubic foot, weighed and
then returned to its place it could be
wenghed. And the result would be as
given. However when we talk of the
weight Of the earth, we really mean
its mass.
The possibility of finding the mass
of the earth is due to Newton. For
he taught that bodies pulled each 9TH
er with forces depending solely upon
their mass and their distance apart.
He showed the way and ten years af.
ter his death the first real weighing
experiment was made. A succession
of experiments resulted in the density
of the earth being determined at IL.
Then came the investigations of Nit
chell and Cavendish, and finally those
of Prof. Boys, who found that the
earth has 5.5h times the density of
water.
The weight of cubic foot of water
is about sixty-two and half pounds.
And the average weight of cubic
foot of earth is about $50 pounds, or
about five and half times as much
as the cubic foot of water. But this is
quite imaginary, for specimens of the
earth can be obtained only by mere
scratches upon its surface. 1t has been
shown by the pendulum that the
earth's pull varies at different points
on its surface. By timing the same
pendulum at different parts of the sur
face 1t can be found out how the
weight varies from point to point

Guns That Won't Shoot Loose.

The old muzzleloaders had one ad
vantage that the builder of breech-
leaders has worked faithfully to over
come. The muzzle-charged pieces
had breechpin, which was screwed
in, where it probably rusted and re-
mained forever-no getting loose
there.
But the breechloader had to tip up
to receive the shells, and the problem
Of the gun builder was so to construct
the arm that it could be opened and
closed thousands of times without be-
coming loose.
Making a Joint where two pieces of
steel must grind together hundred
thousand times without wearing look
ed to be almost as much an impossi-
bility as inventing perpetual motion
machine, but we might say that mod
ern ingenuity has succeeded. and
guns are now on the market that are
guaranteed never to shoot loose.-Rec-
reation.

Calling Card Styles.

To possess always visiting cards of
correct size and quality requires
close observation, for so slight is the
difference from season to season that
a woman easily continues to use the
same she ordered three or four years
ago. This spring, for instance, visit
ing cards have undergone a trifling
change and are the merest shade
smaller than those which were the
ne plus ultra last winter. This differ
ence is noticeable in mems cards,
which have shrunk about one-half an
inch in width. At present they are a
fraction under three inches long and
one and one-half inches wide. Any
thing larger than that for q man
should he avoided.
Cards for married women are al
most square, being three by two inch
es Pasteboards bearing the names OF
both Mr.. and Mrs. are half an inch
larger each way, the proportion re-
naming the same. Since cards as
thin as piece of writing paper we're
carried several years ago. the quail
ity has slowly but steadily grown
heavier, until now 1t is of appreciable
thickness, without being actually stiff.
1t is pasteboard, however, and not
bits of paper.
Old-fashioned script has been su-
perceded by old English and block
The script is permissible now only
for elderly women, the theory being
that they prefer to continue with that
to which they are accustomed.
The two styles row in vogue are
more expensive than the script, and
English costs a little more than block.
For that reason it is not used as much,
and is more elegant.
An address of some kind should al
ways be in the lower left-hand corner
save when the day also is used. In the
latter case the address should be
placed in the right corner, the other
being used for the day.
When a woman lives in a small
town and all her friends know the
exact spot where her house is located
an address is still imperative. This
is obvious when one remembers that
women go away to visit, or travel, al
most every year, and during that
time will require cards with home ad-
dresses. The street is not necessary
for the resident of a village or small
town, only the name OF the city. The
name of the state is not necessary
