Some Queer Alignments.

Mr.. Bryan described the second Cleve-
land campaign as a bunko game. and
ascribed the failure OF the second Cleve-
land administration to the influences that
had brought 1t into being. Is not ounko
again on the cards?
Senator Cummins will vote for Mr..
Roosevelt. but claims to be still repuo-
lican. Mr. Roosevelt is no longer re-
publican. and denounces his old party as
rotten, but Mr.. Cummins as republican
will vote for Roosevelt administration
for the purpose of forwarding republican
ends. Bunko? II not. what is it?
| Bourke Cochran has joined the progress
sive party. according to his own declara-
ton, for the purpose Of maintaining his
democratic principles" And yet Mr..
Roosevelt has denounced the democratic
party as rotten and devoid of principles.
and an enemy of progress. What is Mr..
Cockran's game? Bunko? II not. what
Is II?
| Rudolph Spreckels, long prominent in
republican circles in California and inf1u-
entail In that section of the country. is
now president OF the Wilson National Pro-
gressive Republican League. The object
of the organization, as he says. Is Ito
carry forward our fight for progressive
principles within the party OF Abraham
| Lincoln" That Is to say, Mr.. Spreckels
and his friends are working to bring in
the democratic party under a professed
democrat. in order to strengthen repub-
lican principles! Bunko? II not, what
/ Is it?
| If Theodore Roosevelt is elected he will,
of course, surround himself with men
| uho hold "a he does that both OF the
old parties are rotten. and strive to de-
stroy them. So what will Mr.. Cummins
a professed republican. and Mr.. Cochran
la professed democrat. do then? Fight the
man they have helped invest with power
Or help him destroy all they now profess
to hold dear?
i II Mr.. Wilson is elected he will. OF
course. surround himself with democrats.

Washington's Sanitary Showing.

Washington's exhibit at the congress
of hygiene. to assemble here in few
days. will certainly attract international
attention If it carries to observers the
assurance that the span Of life at the
American capital has been heightened
nine years since 1900. This seems very
large gain. astonishing. in fact. regarded
specifically. and yet 1t is not unbeliev-
able, In view Of the unquestioned i'm
provement in sanitary conditions and the
constant development Of methods of pro-
lection, the adoption of preventive meas
ureS and the advances made in medical
and surgical treatment. Take. for an ex-
ample. the Immediate situation with re-
gard to typhoid fever. Thanks to a dill
gent scrutiny of dairy conditions in the
neighboring country from which Wash
ington receives it's supply-an inspection
handicapped by lack of force and insult
ficient state cooperation and therefore
subject to marked Improvement in the
future-the percentage of typhoid 1nfec-
tion from this source has been greatly
lessened. No longer is the local water
supply q possible means of conveyance.
The destruction Of flies by the tens of
millions and the tracing out of their
disease testers by direct police attention
have contributed valuably to the result,
SO that Washington is now practically
immune from typhoid, its sufferings from
the disease being caused almost exclu-
sively by the slackness of other COM
munities, notably the summer resorts
where the sanitary standards are low.
A very distinct decrease in the num-
ber and virulence of childrens diseases
has been noted here. until child life Is
far safer now in Washington than ever
before. An excellent food inspection sys-
tenn reduces the danger to persons of all
ages that arises from impure sustenance.
Furthermore, the community Is compact
and Of high order Of intelligence. The
process Of public education, not merely
through the schools but through the
press. is comparatively easy. It is pos
sible here to arouse the people to a sense
OF danger, and to carry out reforms not
by means Of administrative measures ap-
piled forcibly, but through the initiative
and enterprise Of the citizens themselves.
by far the most effective and lasting
manner of improvement. The children
OF Washington today are efficient young
Sanftarians, as a result of their year
long fight against the flies. under the di-
rection of The Star. and they are carry
ing ideas Of cleanliness and healthful-
ness into thousands Of homes where for
merly no attention was paid to this sub
ject
Washington may perhaps be recognized
by the delegates to the hygiene con-
gress as an excellent example Of how a
community can better its condition by
persistent attention to the details and
the broad principles of sanitation. 1t is
doubtful whether a better showing can
be made by any place in the world.

Beats any kind OF game.

used under the direction Of the medical

them were in service near Centerville
