not long ago from a factory in interior
Pennsylvania. 1t weighed about 125
pounds. This was freight that needed
careful handling to guard against
breakage. From the receipt of the
payment of the freight it appeared
that it was necessary for three differ
ent railroads to haul this barrel of
dishes on its journey of about 1,400
miles. The freight charges amounted
to $1.47.
And" continued the man who paid
this freight charge and considered it
most reasonable. ''it cost me 35 cents
to have the same barrel of dishes
hauled from the freight depot a short
three-quarters of a mile to my house."

MERIT IN. MUrILAr1oN.

Here of late there has risen a new
element in politics-the accidental IN
jury to a candidate. Fred A. Busse OF
Chicago went into the mayoralty on
wave of sympathy for him because ne
was injured in the wreck of the TWEEN
Ltieth Century Limited, and now they
say Mayor Gaynor's chances for the
presidency have been much enhanced
on account of his attempted assasslna-
ton.
in charge of Buses campaign had a
minute to think, the election of their
candidate was sure They simply
hustled him off to a hospital and got
their press agent busy AT no time
did they claim that there was any
chance of their candidate dying, but
the little details of his fortitude and
endurance percolated out to the SYM
pathetic public every day. There was
not an argument used as to his in
creased fitness on account or the &C
cident-the merit seemed to lie in his
mutilation.
If this thing keeps on, it is going to
simplify politics considerably. After
awhile it will be merely a matter of
how much of his anatomy man will
be willing to give up in order to pro-
cure office 1t possibly will lead to a
regular schedule of mutilation such as:
For dog catcher, a wrenched ankle;
for sheriff. broken arm; for govern or
have leg cut off; for president, the
loss of both eyes,-the list being filled
in on a fair basis. OF course, minor
surgical operations and the removal
of the appendix ought not to count
Even with perfectly fair rules, how
ever, the new method probably will
cause considerable embarrassment as
in the case of a tie, when the loser
necessarily will have all his mutilation
for nothing and will be rather handi-
capped in his regular line of work.

The animal body is developed pess
when nourished by foods which have
been little manipulated by man and

rule, consumed nearly as nature pro-

with milk upon which the growing pooy

THE EXTINCTION OF coREA.

The announcement that arrange
ments are about complete for the for
NAL annexation of Corea is not an
item of sensational news. 1t has long
been realized that Corean independ-
ence was gone beyond resuscitation.
The world is reconciled to an event
that a few years ago would have
aroused armed opposition.
Annexation will mean the formal
fruition of a policy that Japan has
pursued through long years. Two
wars have been fought to remove inn
pediments to it. First, the war against
China when China sought, to assert
certain ancient rights of suzerainty;
second, the war against Russia, which
began when it became clear that Rus
STA proposed that Corea should be-
come her dependency. The popula-
ton of Japan is teeming. Its increase
must find room. Corea, but partially
occupied and used by a decadent peo-
pie, was the nearest and most natural
new home for the surplus Japanese.
Sentimentalists will doubtless be-
wall the fate of the Coreans-a little
people whose nationality is extin-
guished- In many of it's aspects the
business has been a rough and un1ove-
ly one. But men have a right to live,
and a handful of people may not hold
large spaces of the earth when others
need them more.-New York Globe.
