An EnqIish Apology.

Shortly after Richard Croker estab-
lished his home in Ireland an English
periodical stated that he had made his
first step in the world knocking out his
gymnastic instructor in a fiercely
fought three round battle. This story
greatly insulted the eX-boss, who has
grown so respectable that he shudders
at the thought of priZe6ght. He
wrote and demanded an apology,
whereupon the English editor apollo
gized profugely. stating that "Mr. Gro
ker has so many other and higher
claims to celebrity" etc.
1t is possible that the Englishman
was indulging his sense of humor?-

If the Pomerine and Hanley
debate, as to which of the two
ought to receive the senatorial
plum, serves no other purpose,
it ought to settle the question
that neither one should be elect
ed to the position. 1t seems, ac-
cording to each, that the other
has no fitness for the place. l
doubt not that both are equally
truthful, but, if so, then neither
one should receive the support of
the legislature for the office
sought. Almost any person
would have as much fitness for
the place as them, then let a new
man be elevated to the position,
and the country will be better
served than either of the aspir-
ant debaters can serve it.

TIPS ON SWEEPING A ROOM.
How to Do It Thoroughly With Little
Trouble.

How to Do It Thoroughly With Little
Trouble.
In the first place. supply yourself
with sweeping sheets. How many Of
you have them ready? A substitute is
sometimes supplied by using the soiled
sheets from the bed for covering the
furniture, but that is not exactly a
clean method.
Should you wish to purchase new
sheets buy the coarse unbleached cot
ton cloth, double width. and bind it
with turkey red. Make the sheets big
enough t9 cover the largest piece Of
furniture you wish to protect in this
way.
Dress yourself for your work before
you begia it-a cotton frock which
fits easily in the waist and sleeves, 80
that your movements may not be ham
pered; easy shoes, a sweeping cap,
which will protect the hair entirely,
and, If you are careful of your hands.
a pair of loose. old gloves.
Begin your work by carrying from
the room all small objects which you
cannot lay on some chair or couch,
that can be covered afterward. Dust
them before. you lay them aside, using
a cheesecloth or chamols cloth duster
which has been slightly dampened.
Next move out Of the room all small
pieces Of furniture which can be taken
from the room easily, busting them
also before they are banished.
Cover closely with your sweeping
sheets all the furniture which cannot
be removed, using smaller cloths for
draping pictures and other wall orna-
ments which cannot readily be taken
down. Rugs and the like will, Of
course. have to be taken out.
Have ready your damp tea leaves
or damp shredded paper for sweeping.
Never do dry sweeping. The dust
flies. no matter what care you exer-
else. When you use the damp tea
leaves 1t does not have the chance to
blow about the room and fill every
niche or crevice which supplies room
for it.
Sweep from the corners and sides Of
the room to the center. Go into every
recess with your broom.

expense.
DisfEanchis'sment should be a
expense.

|
DisfEanchissment should be a
part Of the sentence every time,
not for a few years only, but
during ones life. The crime is
so serious a matter. It strikes
at the foundation of the social
compact. It merits a dire pen
atty. An American citizen who
sells his vote is unworthy the
name. He should be forever ex-
cluded from the voting booth.
What about the vote buyer?
He is the greater sinner of the
two, andshOuld receive the great
er penalty. Disfranchisement
he deserves and should have.
Furthermore, convictions of buy
ing or. attempting to purchase
votes should be a disqualification
of holding any Office, either in
the state or nation.
The penalty would be severe,
but if rigidly and impartially en-
forced, it would stop the evil.
Something must be done. The
evil must be fought and elimin-
ated or voting will become a mere
money making affair. What a
sad thing it is to see American
voters sell their birth-right.

dreds of citizens have already
confessed and been punished for
= selling their votes, and there are
more of them. The criminals
are of both parties, showing that
Y politics party politics-haa lit
tie to do with the business.
The crimes were committed,
not by the poor ignorant voter,
as one is too ready to imagine,
but weIl-to-do and wealthy land
owners sold their votes for from
two dollars to twenty-five dollars,
depending, we suppose, on the
character of the seller.
The sellers were many, but the
buyers were not so numerous.
One man, if he had the means,
could buy hundreds of votes.
And perhaps it was so done.
A good round number of the
sellers have been caught, but the
buyers are not caught as yet.
anyway nothing is said about
them, To our thinking the buy
er is greater sinner of the two,
and should receive the greater
penalty.
When the Australian way of
voting came into use it was said
that no more votes could be sold,
for, as it was alleged, the buyer
would not be sure of getting the
goods according to contract. But
Adams county people seem to
trust each other. They bought
in full assurance that the goods
would be delivered all right.
Is it not a shame to American
citizenship?
Adams county may not be the
only field for the traffic in votes.
Other counties may engage in
the business, only not so exten-
sively. Our own county is not
above suspicion. In fact, politi-
cal leaders have said it often that
certain voters would hang back
from voting in order to get their
paltry two dollar fee. We do
not vouch for the truth of the
statement, but it looks probable.
Why should voters come in early
and stand around until late be-
fore voting unless something was
expected? An honest voter goes
to the booth, records his vote,
and departs; but if he is looking
for a few dollars remuneration
he will haggle for his price.
There is room to suspect the vo-
ters who delay casting their
votes.
What should be done to RENE
dy the evil? Adams county re-
sorts to fines, imprisonment and
disfranchisement. The fine is
generally $500 and costs-too
small. 1t should be no less than
$4,000 and costs. Imprisonment
is Of doubtful utility. Place such
men in Jail, and the county has.

worth the feeding. And, furth-
