SIXTEEN YEARS RECORD.

tail hustling to equal the record made by
the Republicans in the past sixteen
years. In that time, since this party took

and you can't get around that

which time the Republicans had held the

ABOLISH THE OFFICE.
The senate has passed the bill abol-
ishing the Office of election commls-
sioner OF course that does not ac-
complish the purpose, but if the house
members from Wichita comprehend the
wishes of the taxpayers of this city
there should be no trouble in passing
the bill. The city clerk can add the
work to his office with less cost than
it requires now. With the deputy re-
tanned, and without further help than
the Office now requires, the saving
would be the salary of the commits
sioner. The deputy commissioner could
help the clerk in other directions when
nothing was doing in the registration
line, and the favor be returned by
other clerks when the rush was on.
The way to save money to the taxpay-
ers is to cut down unnecessary expend-

Virtues of TOBACCO Smoke.

Virtues OIL Tobacco smoke.
1t is not surprising to learn that to-
bacco smoke is inimical to the activity
of micro organisms, since it contains,
among many other things, pyridin,
which has been shown to be a power
full germicide. Definite experiments
have recently been made which show
that tobacco smoke rapidly destroys in
particular the comma bacillus of chol-
era A good many years ago 1t was
reported by the senior medical officer
of Greenwich workhouse that the
tobacco smoking inmates enjoyed
comparative immunity from epidem-
les, and tobacco smoking was believed
to have had disinfectant action in
case of cholera and other infectious
diseases. Again, during a cholera cpl
demic at Hamburg it was reported
that not a single workman engaged in
the cigar factory in that city was at
tackled by the disease. Later 1t was
stated that among a body of 5000
cigarmakerS only eight cases and four
deaths from cholera occurred. Suisse
quent experiments proved that tobacco
smoke destroyed the bacilli of Asiatic
cholera as well as pneumonia, and
there was some evidence also that to-
bacco smoke was preventive of some
forms of nasal catarrh. 1t is interest
ing to note that pyridin is official in
the French pharmacopoeia, and in
France it has been employed in the
form of inhalation in asthma, empty
soma and angina pectoris, and mixed
cessive tobacco smoking, of course,
may easily give rise to constitutional
effects which diminish the resisting
power of the body to disease in which
case it is probable the habit would af-
ford not only no protection but an
opening for invaSion.-London Lancet.
The Mississippi Dam.
The dam in the Mississippi river at Des

hydro-electric power will soon be complet-

be capable of the development of 800, 600
horsepower. 1t is expected to furnish
power and light to meet demand within
a radius of $50 miles. The streets of St.

Americans Lead In the
 PhllanthrOpies of 1912

In England during the year 1912 the benefactlons aggregated only about $2O,OOO.OOo.
 The American benefactiOns would more than pay for years mainte' nance of the Army and Navy. The aggregate is more than the capital of the Bank of England or of the I'm perial Bank of Germany, and exceeds the amount of money in the Sub Treasury in New York.
 During the past twelve years $1,- 5O2, ,OOOO has been given away in this country-which if distributed to all of the inhabitants of the earth would be 92 cents for each individual, or it would supply $16.S8 to each in habitant of the continental United States.
The Alaska daily empire., 1913-01-15

The year 1912 was notable for the large number of benefactions for edu' cational and philanthropic purposes The total benefactions accruing from amounts of $1O,OOO up, were approxi- mately $3O2, 100000. It is probable that the sum of the lesser donations would reach about $25,OOO,OOO, mak- ing $S27. .OOO, 900 in all. These figures exceed the preceding year by $152,OOO,- 900.
 Educational works were the most popular channel for the distribution of money; hospitals and the care of the aged came next, with gifts for religious enterprises a close third Besides the known amounts there were innumerable donations by per sons whose identity was not disclosed or disclosed to only few.

Dr. A. w. Crane, a scientist of note and a member of the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, who is in Alaska investigating coal resourc- es of the territory in the interests of Outside capitalists, has become great ly interested in the placer gold depOs- it's located on the Kenai river.
 Prof. Crane returned to Seward re- gently and speaks in glowing terms ot the country and the banning that he did while out.
 Prof Crane declares that the Kenat river is soon destined to become one of the greatest dredging fields in the world, and expresses his surprise that big capital has not grabbed all of the valuable ground.
 q banned on the river from the up per Kenai river to the lower lake and got gold in every pan that took and some of the pans showed a mighty fine placer prospect indeed" Prof Crane said. There is an abundance of black sand, and have seldom seen fine gold that separates from the black sand as easily as the deposits on the Kenai river
 At the head of the river we found coarse gold, but I notice that as we went down the river the gold kept get ting finer and finer, although the pans appeared to be of apparently the same value. High up on the hills on tho

they expect much interest in the ef-
