IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

The other day a photographer eX- plained to little group of friends how the freak motion pictures are made,
 To show a rosebud opening, bloom ing and fading, he would fix the bud firm with wires, set his camera before it, and take one snap picture every ten minutes for three days; then he would run them off before the audience at the rate of sixteen a second, which would take but a short time.
 The human mind is geared to a cer- tain speed, also. Thoughts, or sensa- tions, follow one another single file. They pass over the mind say at a rate Of two or three a second.
 Question: What sort of a world would it seem if the thought train should suddenly accelerate to the rate of a hundred a second2 Things would occur to us in infinite slowness. We could hear the grass growing. A bell stroke would stretch out to long, long peal as of a trumpet A man walking would appear stationary.
 Or if the rate of thought speed should be lowered to one impression a minute, or an hour? We should be set over in an utterly different world.
 All of which teaches us that all im- pressions, ideas, art, morals, are Rel ative things, and depends upon the location and the movement of the Soul and Mind. And if MT. A. is geared morally at 40, how can he hope to fit into the views of MT B. who is geared at 12O?

REPORT ON TITANIC.

There is nothing new to report on the Titanic but the recommendations of the Titanic investigation committee as made to the senate mean the pres entation of much legislation on both sides of the water, relative to the equipment and construction of steam ships in the future. The action of the committee deserves cOmmendation from the start. If not previously de- termined, their report makes it evident that a speedy voyage was being made and that there was negligence in fail inE to observe the danger warnings of ice ahead. The committee wisely con- cludes that while the Titanics captain was negligent, a share in the respon- sibility for the frightful loss of life must be borne by the captain of the Californian, who. while in the close proximity, failed to respond to the distress signals, letting 1.6Oo people drown
 The recommendations of the com mittee are calculated to have the ship SC protected that in the future they will not go through the same experi- ence in like circumstances. A revis- ion of the laws, double searchlights, regulation of the wireless with an operator constantly on duty, sufficient lifeboats, an increase in number and height of watertight compartments, are recommendations that grow out of the disaster. If the English investi- gation accOmplishes as much and the regulations when made are lived up to, a step towards the unsuitable ship will have been made.

STAND BY THE TICKET

A glance at the personnel of the re- publican ticket for the city election next Monday is sufficient to assure the voters of the city, irrespective of party, that they are men who can be entrust ed swith the handling of the city's af- fairs with perfect assurance that effi- ciency and economy will be the guid- ing influences of the administration. They have the unanimous party nomi- nation and their selection was based on their qualifications for filling their re- spective offices, a consideration which is important in guiding the attitude of the voters.
 There need be no doubt that the en- tire republican ticket will be carried into power if the party comes out and casts its vote in support of it's ticket. This is a duty which should be realized and not put aside or forgotten. The great American privilege should De exercised and united action is due the nominees. It is time for putting aside petty differences in the interest of har- mony and for the united forces, repre- sentative of good government, present a solid front. The nominees have the right to expect it and it should be accorded.
 Men of experience, good judgment, business ability, integrity and with the endorsement of their party have been named to fill the offices from that of mayor and the council through to wa ter commissioner. It is the time to vote for good men and good govern ment as indicated by the republican nominees.

LETTERING THE SCHOOLS.

The importance of keeping the ad- ministration of the public school sys- tenn out of politics has long been rec ognized In this matter it should be considered that the benefits to be ob- tained from the educational institu- tions are of greater value than the fact that the committees which con- duct them are of a certain political complexion. More than one place has recognized this principle, but St. Louis men to the number of 10000, repre- senting the business, manufacturing, and professional life of the city re- gardless of race, creed or politics, have leagued themselves together, pledged to promote every interest pertaining to the welfare of the city's public schools and it's school children.
 Sinse this organization was started fourteen years ago, the public sch0ols have been taken out of partisan poli- tics and placed in charge of an inde- pendent board, school taxes have been increased to supply modern and ade- quate school buildings and equipment in the way of teaching material. The organization is governed by the board of control and most of it's business iS transacted through standing commit tees.
 The example of St. Louis in placing the schools before politics and devotine special attention to making them ths best possible, with every advantage for learning marks a big advance which is bound to spread and prove invaluable. The action here in makinl the town committee under consolida- ton divided equally as to partisanshil was taken with idea of placing tht schools above politics.

CONGRESSMAN HIGGINS.

The announcement by Congressman Edwin W. Higgins that he will not be a candidate for reelection means much to this end of Connecticut, for his retirement as representative Of the Third district constituency means the loss of an important influence in con gress and the services of a congress man. who, though a young man, has served the district generally and his constituency especially, with @ degree of efficiency and faithfulness which has not been exceeded in the districts rep resentation in congress.
 No congressman ever accomplished more for his district He has been interested in every movement which would tend to benefit not only the country but particularly those he rep resented and in this interest impar- tislity always prevailed. He never failed to act to strengthen his party. No one section was selected for favors as is evidenced by the work he has dcne in securing federal buildings, rural free delivery service and the soil survey. Persistently at work for the good Of his people and alert to all measures which concern them, he has shown what strength he has in the house by twice securing the retention Of the naval station on the Thames against the recommendation of the secretary of the navy. He has not given his time to wordy debates on the floor of the house without being listened to and believed. His selection for the judiciary committee-one of the most mportant-showed what value was placed on his services.
 To the district his decision comes as a surprise, but for some time it has been known that he contemplated such step for personal interests. There is no doubt that Congressman Russell died a poor man after serving the dis Srict for a long time. No one from 9his district ever made money in office, Wongressmen Starkweather, Waite and Russell having been examples of the type of men who put their district be- fore self and in his service of eight years next March Congressman Hig- gins will have served with equal de- votion and sacrifice. He will retire a poor man. Though his salary was large what profiteth a man with a million if his expenses equal it? Re- ports of wealth have been used to hurt him. but while opportunities have been many for graft, the Third district was never blackened by it's represen- tative in congress yielding to it's temp tations.
 It can be truthfully said that Con- gressman Higgins has done his utmost while in office, and that his adminis- hation of the trust imposed upon him has been marked by the greatest efficiency and faithfulness. He has been a worker throughout. The dis rict will wait a long time and go a bng way before it finds a successor to iXceed Congressman Higgins record. He has no plans for the future, except bis law practice.

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
HER PERMANENT JOB

l I'm glad you're out of an office where they're so unreasonable. As if you couldn't do as good work as any of 'em!"
 This was exceedingly comforting to Winifred. Still when she had lost her second job and her third in quick sue Cession she grew a little nervous. II would be unpleasant If Reginald ceased teing fiercely sympathetic and began wondering She wasn't going to have him wonder just because her last em- ployer had foolish prejudice in favor of having answer" spelled with a "w,7 and similar eccentricities. After the fourth dismissal Reginald openly asked why. Winifred wept upon his shoulder "He-he tried to f-f1irt with me- she stammeTed. She ] c0nsoled herself for the falsehood with the reflection that she hadn't the least doubt that any man would like to do SC that being mems way. He tried to k-k-kiss mel
 That was why, on the following day, a six-foot young man and broad in proportion, who looked as though his front name were Bill. called to see Winifred's latest employer He knew exactly what he was like-a smiling | polished, good looking scoundrel-and l } | light of a great understanding should penetrate the scoundreFs brain. Win l fired had not told him much, but that was, of course, because the poor 1 child had been so upset It was a 1 cruel world when innocent young girls | Who-

 Young Jones marched into the pri- Vate office. He saw there a Wizened | dyspeptic, nervous individual, Wh( snapped at him as a terrier snaps a rat Instantly young Jones kneV within the soul of him that the las time that man had ever kissed an, one was as a child of s or younger when he had been unable to defen( himself. Still Winifred had said

 The weazened individual turned ol him in a fury. Now. now, now!' h rattled Me make love to any foo woman? Not on your life! I'm to busy! Who are you, and who's you girl? Kelley-Keiley?

Three other stenographers viewed Winifred Kelley with distrust the first morning she arrived to go to work
 Miss Smith, 40, angular, with hair tightly pulled back and a record of fifteen more words a minute than any other shorthand artist in the office, bestowed one swift, sharp glance, sniffed violently, and then proceeded with her tasks as though nothing hu- man was visible to her.
 Miss Scott, round, bustling, and crisp, surveyed the newcomer half kindly, remarked the attractive way ciairvoyant precision, told herself that shed never do in the world.
 Miss Swanson, who was homely, noted the strangers peachy complex ion and the way her skirt hung, sighed and wondered why providence never lowered a pretty girl with cleverness also. For one had to be clever to last in the offices of Biggs & Biggs.
 Winifred Kelley didn't last. The senior Biggs stared with wondering displeasure on the first sample of her work. Being a man, he could not comprehend why a creature so charm ing to look upon could not justify her gcod looks by her actions. She was undoubtedly the neatest best looking girl he had seen in many a day. It really was her appealing, innocent eyes that had hypnotized him into hiring her in the first place.
 T am sorry" he said with earnest ness. for her eyes really were very lovely, but this won't do, Miss Kel- ley It-er-won't do at all. Our of fee is particular about spelling and punctuating and-er-blots. Pm afraid you won't do."
 Young MT Jones, who was Wini- fred's best young man, listened in sym pathetic disbelief when she weepingly related to him how she had lost her job. This young man had spent al his life thus far living down his first name-it was Reginald-and had sue ceeded so well that a stranger at frs glance would have instantly bet fifty to one that his name was Bill. Ht was six feet high and broad accord ingly. and he thought Winifred the smartest girl on earth. When a gir is as pretty as Winifred a man usually thinks anything she wants him tC think.
 "The old chump!" he said of Biggs

DlcrAToRlAL DECLARATIONS.

Every new move that is made by Theodore Roosevelt is Q further indi- sation of the inborn desire to be a ruler. which has so often been mani tested since his advent into public life. His personality is that of a dic- .ator and he does not like to abide by he authority of any one or anything else outside of himself He refuses to be hampered in his ambition by any Iuch thing as tradition, rules of party. solemn promises or precedents. He aims at a complete overthrow of all conyentionalities and goes beyond the bounds which any presidential candi- date ever dared attempt.
 His latest move is his selection of the temporary chairman who he per- Ionally prefers to have preside at the Chicago convention in June It is the 1uty of the temporary chairman to Ipeak for the republican party and not lor any candidate who may be coming )efore the convention. The national committee has the right to make the election for that office, but their wis Acrn in the extension of the honor to lenator Root was displeasing, it ap- )ears, to the Colonel. Taking matters nto his own hands, he personally in rited Governor Hadley of Missouri to lli the position. With all his buster bout bossism Roosevelt sent home the 'ital shot when he thus usurped the ,rivilege of the national committee, hgugh it remains to be seen whether 1o can prevail A president by acci- icnt he dictated his successor, and, ing unable to control him, he tells he people that he must be chosen sasin and now goes ahead and selects his temporary chairman. What can 5t expected should he happen to be elected president?

Stains are the great trial of a woman who does the family wash in the old way. Coffee stains, fruit stains, egg stains, occa- sionally blood stains, and many others which defy all ordinary soaps and hard rubbing as we'll In despair, the housewife boils the clothes until their fore Is softened and weakened, but even then the shadows of the stains remain.
 Such stains are easy for FelS-Naptha soap. They are but minute particles of colored matter clinging to threads of the cloth. The Fels-Naptha dissolves them into tiny atoms which can't cling to any thing. A rinsing separates them from the clothes entirely. The stain is gone, lcav- ing the clothes clean, white and pure. And mind you, all this is done in cold or lukewarm water, without boiling or hard rubbing. Fels-Naptha does not in the slightest degree harm the fibre of the cloth as boiling does. No other soap, no matter what it IS called, will take out stains with out boiling. Be sure to get the genuine Fels-Naptha. ItComeS in the red and green wrapper.
