1t is natural to expect ebullition of

sary IL is this one. Instead of the roar

should be peace. quietude. mighty

Fatal Lure of the Alps.

Hardly a day passes at the present
time without adding to the grim toll
which the Swiss Alps take of the
army OF those who feel their potent
lure. This has been a particularly bad
season for climbing. The NIatterhorn
50 far has defed all but half a dozen
mountaineers, while last year many
scores reached the summit Should the
list of fatalities grow. the season in
reality will be an appalling one.
The number of accidents to actual
climbing parties, of course. is but a
small percentage OF the whole. The
quest for ~edelweiss. which persists in
growing in out-of-the-way spots, so
very dangerous to reach (though any
one who admires that rare mountain
flower could with ease grow it in his
garden) accounts Tor a large number
of the fatalities.
Those who feel the spell OF the
towering heights have to consider two
important matters in regulating their
climbs-weather and experience The
first cannot be bought and the latter
can be acquired only after much hard
work and training. Many accidents oc-
cur owing to the enthusiast firing the
nonclimber with strong desire to take
up this new sport In the company
of an expert the novice thus faces a
serious climb at the outset. The
strength of chain is that of its weak
est link, and an inexperienced persons
presence is a very serious danger to
a party of mountain climbers, for il
places in jeopardy the lives of friends
as well as guides.
There should be no Jumps" in the
training of climber Physical strength
and alertness of mind are the two
things to be cultivated in the noun

Prof Jones and his party, of Oxford
caused by piece of rock giving away;
shows that caution never can be toe

A sudden if momentary relaxation
of strength or care, which will not
stand out against the added strain of
bad weather, has caused many mis-
hap. There are few experiences so
testing as bad weather while on one
of the towering mountains. Neverthe-
less disaster never will quiet the Call
of the Alps" or cease to make them
appeal to lovers of adventure.

Gen. Macarthur.

1t was under pathetic circumstances
that Lieut.. Gen. Arthur Macarthur
passed away at Milwaukee while ad-
dressing a reunion of his former COM
rades. He was soldier of long and
distinguished service. Before he was
eighteen years of age he was an officer,
and his gallant deeds at Perryville
Franklin, Murfreesboro, and Mission
airy Ridge are we'll known and re-
memberel. They were so meritorious
indeed, that before he was twenty-one
he had risen 10 the rank of lieutenant
colonel.
After such experience and training
under fire career OF great usefulness
was assured him. When the military
service was reconstructed in 1860. after
the civil war, he was the youngest cap
tain in the army, but his capacity and
the unceasing industry which he ex-
hibited in the discharge OF his duty
facilitated his rise to the highest rank
in our regular army.
He served all of twenty years on the
frontier. Then he was detailed TO the
Adjutant Generals Office and remained
there until the war with Spain broke
out. His eminent capacity for COM
mand and the need OF able officers in
the field caused him TO be transferred
back to the line, and he was made a
brigadier general OF the United States
Volunteers.
But Gen. MacArthur's most telling
service was that in the Philippines
where he took Manila and Subsequent
ly suppressed Aguinaldo's rebellion
Later he was appointed both Military
and Civil Governor Of the archipelago
and his administration, considering tina,
he ruled over a forever rebellious peo-
pie, was success. In recognition OF
his eminent services to his country. the
grade OF lieutenant general, re-created
after the war with Spain. was not
abolished until he could fill it, Con
gress then again allowing it to lapse
The country mourns the loss OF a
great soldier! At an age when most
men have not finished their military
schooling, he was already a veteran!

The, Electoral College
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of cat Good Old siwash.'

The electoral college is one OF our poor
est institutions OF learning. 1t has no
curriculum. no professors. no YELL and
holds only one session every four years.
Il would take a genius 10 learn any
thing In the electoral college. but it Is
very popular for all that and thousands
Of men would feel highly honored II
they had an electoral college education.
The ELECTORAL college has a trifie over
500 students. but they couldn't score a
touchdown on a well trained high school
team. They have no training and do
not even maintain glee club. The coll
lege never had even set Of colors ex-
cept in the campaign OF 1896, when 1t
adopted gold. It Is very old school.
having been organized in 17sS by builders
of the Constitution in an effort 10 re-
move the mental wear and tear of elect
ing a President from the common peo-
pie. The trainers OF the Constitution
didn't have much faith in the. taste Of
the common people as far as Presidents
went and thought they were doing a
pretty fine thing in letting the people
elect the constables and legtslators-an
opinion in which a great many well
groomed gentlemen with automobiles
still agree. But after the electoral col
lege had come within one vote OF elect
ing Aaron Burr President, the C. p.
shivered slightly and took up the elect
ing job themselves.
Since that time the life Of the Presi-
Dental elector has been one Of great
ease. His work is light and requires no
strain on the intellect. He is nominated
because OF his age and responsibility and
is coached in his job by the voters in
the November election. After his State
has indicated its choice for President 1t
allows him to go to the State capital

in the District of Columbia, men who
would make even a hardened criminal
more hardened, they must be treated
the same as any one who is outside the
pale of Christian influence. While
there is life there is hope is an old
saying, but in the case of such des-
perate characters as these men in the
prison at Jackson have shown them
selves to be, there is no hope for them ;
but there is hope that if they are taught
that the law is supreme others may
learn the same lesson.
In Washington there is a Juvenile
Court, where Judge William H. De
Lacy follows the preeepts first laid
down by the famous Judge Lindsey.
Kiss and make up. Go and sin no
more" Even this kindly manner of
treating young criminals has not proved
the success in Washington it has in
Denver, and The Herald sincerely be-
lieves that in those cases where the
boy makes no effort to help himself a
little corporal punishment inflicted at
the right time would do more to keep
him from developing into criminal
such as those in Michigan's State prison
than all the fatherly talks of Judge De
Lacy or any one else.
Anyway, The Herald will make the
prediction that with the official return
of the rod in the Jackson institution
the need of it will grow less.

From the Chicago Record Herald
The British government has introduced
a bill to complete manhood suffrage. It
is the last of the suffrage bills. At
present voters at parliamentary elections
must possess property or must have in
habited, as servants or dodgers for twelve
months, property having certain rental
values The new bill proposes to give
the suffrage to every man Of legal age
who has lived for six months in a con-
stituency. II also abolishes that absurd
survival. plural voting, and university
representation.
The measure has excited bitter oppo-
sition from the conservatives. Its pro-
visions would add greatly to the Liberal
strength and would enfranchise some
G,5C0.O0 men. Last year there were reg

women doubtless will be introduced; the
government has promised not to oppose
such a bill, though it will not propose it.

Reasons Why Such Reform

To the Editor: II seems strange that,
with all our reform along the line OF

food law We have one OF the most
encouraging means for the spread OF
germs. l refer to the manner in which
our staff of life" is transmitted from

how insanitary our bakers bread must

times before We purchase it When We
order meat from the butcher IL comes

the process Of preparation. all danger
Of contamination may be eliminated.
When We buy fruits or vegetables they
are washed before being consumed and
now all kinds OF goods that used to
come in bulk are boxed. because OF the
danger OF their being kept in insanitary
places. Yet the most careful housewife
accepts her bread in any manner in
which it comes to her, regardless Of the
fact that il will be consumed in its natu-
raj state without any means Of cleans
ing.
