Campaign Expenses.

The American people demanded Of
congress the passage of law provid-
ing for full publicity regarding ex-
penditures in national campaigns.
Compulsory publication of the amounts
spent in presidential and congressional
elections will turn on the searchlights
and let the people know how their
servants are elected.
Unfortunately the bill as passed calls
for publicity not before but after cleo
ton. In other words, congress gives
the people half a loaf.
Sibley, Pennsylvania mnlti-million-
aire, recently expended $4,000 to be
nominated for congress. He was COM
PEELED to make this expenditure public
because of a state law. But for this
compulsion the disgraceful fact that he
had corrupted the electorate would not
have become known. A president, SEN
ator or congressman might be NOM
mated in the same way. If it were
known in advance that money had
brought about their success, it would
be good reason to defeat them. But
to know the truth after election pre-
sents no way to correct the wrong
doing.

Death to the Fly.

The peoples crusade is again under
way. The fly is once more to be swat
ted. No quarter is the cry for the
winged caddie of disease. Everywhere
its enemies are mobilizing for the sum-
mer fray. The common house fly car
ries the bacilli of typhoid, tuberculosis,
dysentery and intestinal diseases.
Florida has prepared for a vigorous
summer campaign against the fly. It's
state health commission has scattered
posters of 1urid warning. In Georgia
and Louisiana, particularly in Atlanta
and Savannah, the fighting is brisk and
effective.
The Galveston (TeXas) board of
health is numbered with the van
guard. And the women of California
demonstrate afresh woman's capacity
for organization and wise citizenship
by uniting their serried ranks against
mosquitoes and flies.
The American Civic association is
hot On the trail of the fly, and it has
selected the typhoid fly for special
mention. 1t asks for painstaking care
of stables and absolute cleanliness of
home surroundings. This American
Civic association has organized Fly
fighting committee
1t says: Beware of the dangerous
house fly"
Here are some of the rules which
will make life difficult for the fly:
Look after'the garbage cans.
Remove manure from the stable
every three or four days.
Keep flies away from the kitchen,
the dining room and the sick.
Screen all food.
Sticky fly paper, traps and liquid
poisons are among the things to use
in killing flies, but the latest. cheapest
and best is a solution of formaIin or
formaldehyde in water. A spoonful of
this liquid put into a quarter of pint
of water and exposed in the room will
be enough to kill all the flies.
The entomologist for the United
States department of agriculture in
his circular on house flies, says:
THE insect we now call the house fly
should in the future be termed the
typhoid fly in order to call direct at
tention to the danger of allowing it
to continue to breed unchecked"

out forever, and yet sometimes venge-
ance follows unless one covers the
mark" He moved to the cupboard
and took down bottle of some liquid
and poured a little on his handlier-
chief. He rubbed the palm of his
right hand and there sprang into view
a small and perfect flower of the red
loses.
I'VE merely touched It and went
down into hades" breathed Ayers
heavily. And yor-you"-
81 held it IN my hand and went still
farther" said Lester coolly as he re-
placed the bottle and took down an
other one containing a milky sub
stance. With a small sponge he COW
cred the palm of his hand. and the red
flower faded under a uniform flesh

added. Water will not harm this COW

must be renewed. l will give you the
recipe. We who use It call it our life
preserver.' 1t Will be yours too"
why do they leave the blasted
thing exposed like that? why isn't
there some warning that it must not
be touched?' demanded Ayers excited
ly as the red stain vanished from his
fingers.
Lester smiled. 'oThe temple is not
for unlimited foreign devils to enter
save at their own risk. If you had
been warned of it's malevolent infu-
ence, would you have touched the red
lotus?'
The two men nodded assent, and
Longwood asked, with a curious hest
tation:
What are the force and the-the
pigh2 What is the explanation"
Lester crossed the room and leaned
from the window into the darkness of
the garden. Presently he turned to-
ward them, and his voice was low and
strained.
"Only one man ever learned the
truth about that. He was my friend.
And before he could impart his knowl-
edge to others He paused and
again looked into the night.
"Yes?" prompted Ayers.
HE died." finished Lester quietly.

American Professor to Visit Land Un-
explored For Centuries.
Marshall II. Saville, professor of
archaeology at Columbia university,
has started for Peru and Ecuador by
way of the isthmus of Panama and
will be absent eight months. The pro
fessor said that he was going first to
Lima, Peru, to examine specimens of
ancient pottery made by the Incas and
then to Quito, Ecuador.
''From that point" Professor Saville
announced, 81 am going TO make an
expedition into the interior of Ecuador,
first to the south and then north to-
ward the United States of Colombia
The journey to the interior win be
made by mules and canoes, but some
of the denser forests l will have to
travel on foot. We shall penetrate
where no white men have explored
since the expeditions by the Spanish
adventures in the sixteenth century
and expect to bring back specimens of
the native products that will show the
mode of living of the early inhabitants
of that part of South America"

Scotland Miners.

There are now 4S1 coal mines in
Scotland and 125, s9S persons are at
work in them; of these 2,684 are wo-
men. I'm recent years." writes Con-
sui Van SAINT from Dunfermline, 1.-The
miners lot has been greatly improv-
ed, yet their wages and various COM
forts apparently do not equal those of
the United States, to judge from the
constant stream of emigration to
America. Though this is true, there
is in Scotland no class freer or whose
hours are shorter.
''They have three shifts of eight
hours each, and on notice are at lib

It was twilight when Harry Ayers
and his guest found themselves outside
the Temple of the Five Signs. They
had visited dozen ancient Calcutta
temples that afternoon. and now the
dusk had suddenly fallen and turned
the crooked length of the narrow street
into a dim perspective. lighted here
and there by q lantern swinging above
a doorway.
In the foreground arose the blank
walls of the stone editice. pierced by a
low door, beyond which trembled a
faint red glow.
''Have you the courage for another
one before dinnerT" asked Ayers, paus-
ing at the foot of the stone steps.
Certainly" returned Longwood.

noon have not left the impression Of

leading the way up the steps.
The other made no reply, and to-
gether they passed through the door
and stood in the outer court of the
temple. Here mendicant priests squat

presenting skinny hands for aims.

began to display symptoms OF the dis
ease, and Rogers determined that it
must have exercise. The idea that 1t
could be made to haul a wagon struck
him all at once. He put 1t into prac-
tee after a series of difficulties.
Rogers says hogs could be easily
trained and made useful draft animals
in light farming. They are strong for
their size, he says, and could be prof
itably employed in drawing cultivators
through planted fields.

to Sing Sing. adding: lou are only
II years old and 1t seems to me that
the state of New York is guilty itself
in permitting such youth as you
to drive an automobile on our public
thoroughfares.'
The sentence of the judge in this
case was a just one, regardless Of the
age Of the driver. which really does
not materially affect the act. For it
must be remembered that not all the
many accidents, probably not an I'M
due proportion of the many accidents
that occur, happen when young driv-
ers are in charge.
But the penalty inflicted in the
case is none too severe, because I'M
til adequate punishment is melted out
to reckless automobile drivers of any
age, their disregard of public rights
will not be checked.

Along with the proposed law abolish
ing the grand jury system in Illinois,
the next legislature should revise the
criminal code as It pertains to juries in
criminal proceedings. The requirement
that ~ good men and true, sworn to be
just, should be made prisoners for pro-
tracted periods, deprived of their liber-
ties, kept from homes and restrained
under guard while the prisoner at the
bar goes free, is a travesty on justice
in. itself If the state does not recog-
nize the jury system as honest, it had
better abolish 1t.

JUST HIS WAY.

THE night hawk sits and works away
u Until the night has sped.
And in the early morning gray
Tho pillow finds his head
He rises from his laggard bee
About the hour of noon,
And how he kicks should some one chanr
To wake him up too soonl
No early bird IS he TO catch
The worm that first appears.
It's only lightning bugs and bats
From him that need have fears.
All rules concerning morning air
At once would he revise.

Why does he turn the thing about
And waste the midnight oil
And to complete his foolishness
One-half the daylight spoil?
He couldn't tell himself just why
He makes the night OF day.
His only reason is Because"
That's all that he can say.
A strange ana wondrous bird Is he,
A human bat. indeed
The wheels lie dormant in his head
All day: at night they speed.
The rules that govern other men
To him do not apply,
And II you ask him to explain
He winks the other eye.
