The Roller Towel
Baltimore Sun

Baltimore SUM-.
They have cut their whiskers out in
Kansas and put colytic shower baths in
TO their house, they have ceased wearing
their boots to bed and have made the
public drinking cup a felon, but still their
passion for militant bacteriology remains
insatiate. Its latest victim is the roller
towel-that dropping but romantic relic
of simpler days and drawer men, Kansas
calls the roller tower pathogenic, and
sees in it's mysterious folds the Garden
of Eden of all germs. 1t Is the father
and mother, says Kansas, of eczema,
ophthalmia and dandruff. IL abrades and
inoculates the human hide. 1t spreads pes
tilences and offends the eye. 1t is immor-
al, and, being immoral, Kansas has mads
it Illegal
A triumph for asepsis but Waterloo
for romanceI Who will forget the noble
uses of the roller towel in other and hap
pier years? 1t was an essential ornament,
an integral part, of all ancient inns, tav-
erns and ordinaries; it adorned all old
time printing offices; 1t was known and
loved by judges, juries and learned coun-
sci in county towns. The passing stranger
employed it to remove the clay OF travel
from his boots, the dust of the road from
his face; it had its regular customers, it's
loving clients, its devotees. That was be-
fore the day of shoeshining parlors, Turk
ish baths and other such degenerating
luxuries. The roller towel served all puri-
flying purposes. 1t was the one cleansing
angel of a frowsy world.
Eugene Field and Bill Nye were full OF
anecdotes of famous roller towels. Field
used to tell of one in printing Office in
Chicago which grew so hard with ink and
silicates that it gave out musical note.
Nye claimed for one that he loved that It
had been used by a printer of his ac-
uuaintance to stab a copy chopper. Mark
Twain. in his palmy days. had similar
tales to tell
But enough of all that. The roller towel
is done for. Printers now mop their brows
with asceptic gauZe; even lawyers fear
bacteria. In a few years, perhaps, the
roller towel will be rare thing, curl
Gus antique, to be gaped at by loafers
and honeymooners in museums. People
will speak of it as they speak today OF
the rabbit foot, camomile tea, the pulse
warmer, medicated lingerie, the haircloth
sofa, populism, and all the other death
things that were, but are not.

Each candidate under the law is re-
quired to appoint an election agent and
all campaign expenses must me paid
through this agency. Expenses may range
from 81, $50 to $1,000 according to the pop
ulation and area of the constituency
All claims for election expenses must
be submitted to the candidate within
Ii days after the eletcion, all such claims
as allowed by a court must be paid with
in 2S days, and full and complete public
returns must be made within 50 days. The
failure to meet any of these requirements
makes the election void. The candidate
is responsible for his duly appointed
agent and for all other supporters who
may be working In his behalf as bona
fide agents, whether with or without the
knowledge of the candidate.
Any bribery by agent voids the cleo
ton, and bribery is defined as the giving
or promise to give. whether the promise
is kept or broken, of any money, or any
thing worth money, or any treat of food
OF drink, or any employment or promise
of employment, or any pay for loss OF
time while voting. Thus a supporter Of
candidate may, without the candidates
knowledge and against his express or
ders, treat another man to glass of beer
in exchange for vote That act would
void the election and unseat the member.
Employers are prohibited, under heavy
penalties, from influencing the votes of
their employees, and the beneficiary OF
such undue influence loses his seat.
| This law. of course, is not obeyed in
the letter, but ii is a constant reminder
to candidates and their agents to be very,
very careful The law prohibits the hir-
ing of bands of music, and therefore
English political speakings are without
the inspiration of brass music. The law
prohibits the purchase or giving away OF
badges of distinction. An enthusiastic
party man at a recent election printed, at
his own expense, some cards to be worn
in hats, bearing the name of the party
candidate for parliament. The expense
altogether was $40 and the candidate
knew nothing about it. But the law had
been broken in his behalf and he lost his
seat in parliament.
Election expenses incurred by the party
for party purposes, and not in the inter-
est of any articular candidate, do not
come under the law. A great deal of
money is spent in this way, and there is
some corruption. A district may be flood
ed with free beer and free coal. as is
often done in London, by charitable or
carnations with political intent.
The result of all this machinery is
that the house of commons is elected by
system so nearly free from corruption
that no faint lies on the title of the house
to represent the will of the electors
Cumbersome as 1t is, it is a far better
election system than any other that has
been devised for the maintenance Of the
purity and dignity of the ballot The
house of commons comes to London as
the voice of the people.

Says C1nthia Grey

Dear Miss Grey: Is it proper for,
Young man to ask to call on a girl, or is
it the girls place to ask him to call?
10.
Alt is supposed to be the mans place
to ask but believe it is question which
is usually settled between the individuals
concerned. Where there is mutual at
traction, this question need not be con-
sidered.
Dear Miss Grey: Ny little sister is all
ways talking and is very "bossy." What
shall l do with her?
BIG SISTER.
Aft she is ''bossy'' she must be
badly spoiled little sister. You must have
patience with her, and if she is old
enough to understand, reason with her.
Tell her that you want everyone to love
your little sister, and that if she keeps
on DOSING" people will think she is not
a very pleasant little girl to know. 20
far as her always talking" is concerned,
let her talk. You probably did the same
when you were little, and no doubt your
mother thought the innocent prattle OF
her babe was the swe etest sound in the
world, just as you should feel about your
little sister. Have patience with her.
Just think how you would miss her chat
ter, if she were taken away from you!
Dear Miss reg: Is it proper to speak
to a friend who has brought disgrace
upon himself-when one meets him in
some public place? WAITING
A-Certainly. Why not. 1t cannot
hurt you if your own conduct is beyond
reproach. and ii may be of help to him
in his efforts to recover his own self-es-
TEEN and his standing among his friends.
