REPEAT THE PRIMARY ELEC-
TON LAW

We notice, that there has been con-
siderable indignation upon the part of
some of lie 'h0lier than thou" poll
tlclans because of the immense amount
Of money expended by the Common repub-
lican committee in the e-primary cleo
ton and congressman who expended
from four to ten thousand dollars to Sc
cure b n minatiOn, declare with assum-
ed righteous indignation that is posi-
lively shocking and something shout be
done to stop it. All will admit THAI the
expenditure of large sums of NJ ney to
secure nominations, especially Iepubli-
can nominations for senatorial con-
gressional and state Offices is wrong in
principle and result and should be st0pp-
ed an the quickest and test way to stop
it, is the repeal Of the primary eject on
law under Which there has been more
money spent to secure nominations than
during the entire previous history of the
state and under its operators no nan
who has not large bank account stands
no chance whatever unless he is willing
to sacrifice his manhood and indepen-
dence. When men spend more for an
office than the salary of same for the
term for which they are elected, one can
not avoid the conclusion that it is their
intention to re-emburse themselves by
indirect means and dishonest prac-
tees. In the meantime however, it will
not do for those living in glass houses to
SHE stones at the other fellows.

EXCLUDE FIGHT NEWS FROM
THE MAILS.

That is profoundly excellent sugges-
ton made by an Ohio man-that the
United States should prohibit the use Of
the mails for disseminating priZefght
matter Talking and thinking about a
prize-fght constitute an experience that
is depraying. It actually undermines
moral character and lowers citizenship.
Prizefght news affects the individual
like drop of strychnine affects glass
of water. We somehow have gotten hold
of the idea that the spirit of man can
stand an unlimited amount Of dirt and
infamy without being infected. But
here is a great mistake. All dirty, foul
news renders man less able to appreci-
ate what is pure and uplifting. A
great prize fight creates more
havoc among people than an epidemic.
1t has nothing to commend it. 1t is es-
sentially low and deyilish, and the
United States dish0nors itself when it
permits it's own citizenship to be be-
smirched and degraded by assisting to
make general the information regarding
such events. 1t can do this country
more good by closing the mails to prize
fight intelligence than it can by com
MERGE courts, postal banks, irrigation
schemes, modifying the power of the
speaker, conservation, reforestation and
all such reforms.
If all papers in this country patterned
after the Christian Silence Monitor a
daily paper published in Boston, Mass,
only that which is wholesome and ele-
waiting would appear in the public press.
All accounts of murders. divorces, prize
fights, Opponents, scandals and moral
delinquences would be omitted and only
that which is Of value for social and
moral betterment of the world be print
ed and yellow journalism disappear.

Missouri state university is prolific of
interesting suggestions Of much inter
est to those concerned about bringing
up the youth Of the land in the way they
should go and of Importance, too, in this
regard.
Having planned school of journalism
on new and advanced lines and having
also decided to establish school Of
poetry through which the young men of
poetry inclination in Missouri might
filter the soDnets, the college now pro-
poses to establish directions for the
young women to acquire prOpriety on
the theory that rule may be make to
govern a congregation in this respect.
Miss Eva Johnson is the dean Of
women Of the institution, and she has
devised novel and popular method of
fixing upon the set Of directions to the
young women students on "HOw to Be-
have"
In determining the definition of good
form among goods as exempted at the
Missouri instit. tion, Miss Johnston and
her aids are now endeavoring to reach a
conclusion on these problems
Is it proper to make trysts in the IL
brary?
Is it proper to play cards or dance
every evening after supper at a board
ing house?
Is it proper to stroll after dark?
How late at night should girl say to
her escort, won't you come in while
tonight"
It is all right as far as it goes; but
how about the boys? Miss Johnson or
somebody should have established a code
Of behavior for the boys. There should
be but one standard and that for both
sexes. There should be no discrimina-
ton in behavior.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

There has been a marked change in
Senators Aldrich, Lodge, Hale and few
others of the ultra conservatives in the
senate since congress convened. They
have ceased to be Overbearing and dicta-
tiOnal in their bearing, and do not walk
around with their noses in the air as il
the oder of progressive was offensive.
The editor Of the Milwaukee Journal
desires our opinion as to the large
amount spent by the Connor committee
It was disgrace to the state, the same
as the expenditures Of large sums Of
money by individuals to secure Office. I'm
der the primary system the state should
bear the expense of candidates not to
exceed ten per cent of the salary Of the
office they are seeking.

Christmas should be holy day, day
for rejoicing, but not for mirth and
social amusement, for it commentaries
the birth of the best man who made his
advent in the flesh to bring man into a
closer union with himself and his
Father. His advent in sinful flesh
was among the poor and lOWlY and his
birth was manager, for there was no
room for him in the inn, and yet angels
erald his coming with thanksgiving
and praise and wise men came from afar
to pay the infant Jesus homage and
leave gifts. 1t was an event in the his
tory of the world long foretold by prop
bets, yet when he came there were but a
few ready to receive him, and a multi
tude who would have destroyed him had
it been possible, and prevented the grand
work which he had been sent 10 accom-
plish for the world and mankind, who
hated him without cause. Today, as of
old, the world is not ready for the truth
he taught although millions Of men and
women have found JOY and peace in him
through faith and believing in the mess
age of love he ought and living for the
future rather than the present. The
anniversary of his birth will be com
memorated Sunday by Gods people all
over the civilized world, and peans of
praise and joy will be sung in many
languages by grateful people who
through faith and love know that their
redeemer liveth and is manifpsting him
self to them by their spisitural expert
ence. Christmas is the one day in the
year that should be given to the cOntem-
platiOn Of the marvellous love and sacri,
flee of Jesus the Christ for the redemp-
tiOn of man, that all might have that
mind that was III Christ and follow him.

NEW POWERFUL MICROSCOPE
Enormous Magnlficatlon Is Attained
Without Former 8Iemishes Due to
Optical Causes.

4Aere has been exhibited before the
Royal society of London a form of
microscope, the invention of Professor
Gordon, by means of which enormous
magnif1cation of an object can, it is
stated, be attained without the blem-
ishes due to optical causes that for
merly marred such images.
We may suppose that the enlarged
image of an object is received from a
microscopic lens upon a ground glass
focusing screen, and that then an
other microscope is employed still fur
Their to enlarge the image so formed.
This is, of course, quite feasible, but
the grain Of the glass would be magni.
fed together with the image and would
vitiate the result. Professor Gordon
uses translucent screen of the finest
possible texture, and he causes 1t to be
kept in constant motion while the OBJ
ject is being viewed or photographed.
By this means the grain of the screen
Is eliminated and the greatly magnified
image of the object alone seen. Speci-
mems magnified to the extent of ten
thousand diameters were shown as
proofs of the efficacy of the method
adopted.-Harper's Weekly.
