sion of the legislature by moving to
strike out the publication clause ev-
cry time bill came up for passage
IN the house. The other legislators
became so used to Larrabee making
such motion that they took 1t as a
matter of course, and when the edu-

reached, the publication clause was
stricken out without question when
Larrabee made his motion. 1t was
the hill he had been aiming at all

publication clause stricken out. he
had to make the same motion on ev-

Two years ago the extra expense for
publication amounted to $4,000 and
this year we figure II amounted 10

Here's a Book

The Snap-DragOn,' by Horace
Hazeltine. published by the Desmond
Fitzgerald Company, of New York.
Slipping from one spicy adventure to
another, not too exhaustively melO-
dramatic but ever stimulative of
enough interest to keep the book in
hand, this mystery story is much better
than the average. One of these secrets
comes from the fact that from the very
first the reader takes the attitude and
fortunes of the hero. Alan. There is no
shilly-shaIly about IL, and the fortunes
of the others implicated in the plot are
as successfully hidden from the reader
as from the main character.
Writers seemingly forget to recall that
the fortunes of Sherlock Holmes We're
all told through the medium of friend
Watson. and II was he who was really
the Incorporated personality of the
reader Therein lay the greater part
of the success of those famous tales
The "Snap-Dragon'' Is good story
and Is well told. the real identity OF
the dragon and outcome OF the plot are
carefully withheld, and the suspense
sustained until the very end of the
book. The only fault is the attempt
at love story at the very end \
mere suggestion of 1t would have been
much more artistic. for the mystery
theme and love theme which entWined
make the book, are almost too recent
and too turbid for the instant introduc-
ton of a new and plausible love story
the moment they are settled.

cLARK-BRYAN REINFORCEMENT.

The language which Speaker Clark uses in his
Statement" apropos of the reconciliation between
himself and Secretary Bryan, is interesting, to say
the least Judge Sims might have used it, in the
moment wnen he stopped to pick up his hat, as a
tribute of the personal esteem which at that moment
he felt for Mr. Glover.
1T is beyond the power of Colonel Bryan or any
one else," says Mr.. Clark Ito correct the injustice
that was done to me at Baltimore" There seems
q feeling of hopelessness in this. Then the skilled
politicians conventional note of selfdeprecation:
The loss of the Presidential nomination small
thing compared to the injury done to my reputa-
tion in the eyes of tine world" Next, reteration
of the feeling that its hopeless anyhow: fBut now
that Colonel Bryan has done what he can
to remove the injurious impressions, etc.
The Speaker and the Secretary shaking hands
publicly was a touching spectacle. 1t would have
been quite as convincing if the Statements" had
been omitted.

HAVOC ON THE SEA.

The world happily has not faced in 1913 any such
appalling single disaster at the loss of the Ii.
tanic. But snip owners as whole have borne a
series of misfortunes breaking all records for more
than half century.
The terrific storms the first three months of the
year have wiped out maritime holdings in a wide
sweep. The report based on the showing of Lloyds,
the great English underwriters, declares that the
damage to the deep sea vessels will amount to ST.
100000 This does not include the loss suffered by
the coasting trade of the United States.
The grim total of 328 sailing vessels and $40
steamships lost in thirty days is not known to have
been equaed.

SACRAMENTO AND TOKYO.

A noisy minority of California Chauvnists, now
unfortunately REINFORCED by demonstratee minor
iy of the citizeny of Tokyo, diligently trying to
make trouble between the United States and Japan.
1t is quite impossible believe that they will be per-
mitteed to succeed. 1t would be centurys rankest
demonstration of the essential ncapacy of nations
think of each other in terms of fairness and
justice.
Three years ago, when the Japanese diet passed
anti-alien ownership measure, the people of the
United States might have stirred up the same sort
of protest that is now being raised in Japan; but
it appears that the agitators in California didnt
think of it. Doubtless they are the more disguised
with themselves now that they should have over
looked such good excuse
Governments, having large and very real response
btes are not commonly given to acceptance Of
clamor for public opinion. Sometimes clamor, how
ever, becomes so noisy as to mislead moderate
people. In the present there is little probability
that this will be the fact. The Washington Govern
has not permitted itself to get very excited and
it is very doubtful whether responsible people in
Japan have been any more impressed.

THE PNEUMONIA CURE.

The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research
has just made announcement which, in contrast
with the attitude of DR.. Friedman, places the lat
ter with his claims to discovery of a consumption
cure, in an unpleasant light. The Rockefeller Insti
tute says it has developed a serum for the cure of
pneumonia The medical world has long sought a
cure for this disease, and the highly scientific meth
ods of present-day medical investigation have been
invoked to produce it.
In its preliminary announcement the Rockefeller
Institute takes the public into its confidence in a
way that contrasts sharply with the secrecy that Dr.
Friedman mas thrown around the production of his
alleged tuberculosis serum. In accordance with its
uniform procedure and with the requirements of
medical ethics, the institute tells the problem it con-
fronted, and how that problem was solved The
statement thus far issued could doubtless be taken
by scientific men as the basis for actual production
of the serum Further illumination of the processes
will come later; but even at the beginning the most
engaging candor is observed in dealing with both
the lay and the scientific public.
Dr. Friedman may have found cure for con-
SUMPTION but his methods seem to justify misgiving.
Time was when secrecy about the preparation of the
turtle serum would have been regarded as nowise
improper when the desire to capitalize great med-
cal discovery into personal fortune would not have
been viewed as it is now But that time is past, and
Dr. Friedman has, at least permitted himself to get
out of touch with the ideals and methods of this
generation.
Should it be the worlds fortune to discover and
demonstrate in this year. cures for both tuberculosis
and pneumonia 1918 would indeed rank as a notable
wear in medical annals and in humanitarian achieve
ment.

How to Lengthen
Your Life
The Midday Lunch.
BY j. A. Husick, II. d.

IIIERE is problem that faces
~ every man and woman in the
work-a-day world: What con.
stitutes healthful, nutritious
and at the same time a reasonably eco
| nomical midday meal? Many of the
luncheons served do not possess any OF
| these qualities.
Go into the restaurant or lunch room
at noon and watch the throngs OF peo-
pie all rushing to get something 10 eat.
You will observe that pastry. pies. Ice
cream. and coffee form the chief r,enu
OF many meal. Now, while some of
these foods. when pure. may not be Of
real danger to health. especially II
eaten sparingly and only occasionally,
their constant. daily use results in
weakened powers OF digestion and
poor nutrition. There is many a person
suffering from disorders of the digestive
organs. impoverishmcnt of the blood, a
low state OF general vitality, and many
other conditions of i'll health. all due to
the consumption Of improper, unwhole-
some food at their daily lunch.
All this can be prevented and avoided.
are used in the selection of the proper
kind Of food. For those engaged I'm in
door occupations, with little muscular
activity, there are several simple and
inexpensive lunch menus that will prove
wholesome and healthful. and NEE. sll
the requirements of the body. A bowl
of soup with buttered roll or two, and
with some fruit raw or cooked, or
HN nil hn Toll
for the average grown-up indoor worker
who expends very little muscular energy
during his days work.
Meat or egg sandwiches made of
wholesome fresh materials, and eaten
in combination with some good fresh
milk, will be found very wholesome and
nutritious.
The worker out of doors requires Of
necessity larger and more substantial
meal, 10 meet the demands which active
muscular exertion makes upon his sys-
tenn. But even the laborer must svoId
ovcrburdening the stomach with excess
of food. The laborer should have for
his lunch hot bowl of soup, some meat
and vegetables, bread and butter and
dessert
Usually. however, the reverse Is OBJ
served The office worker eats the la
borer's meal. while the laborer frequent
ly has insufficient food to sustain the
daily wear and tear of his body. Both
suffer: the one from excess. the other
from insufficicncy. The result is disease
and the cutting short of life.
For the sake of your health, select
your lunch to suit the real requirements
OF the body. Under all circumstances
avoid heavy. indigestible. impure foods.
In eating, stick to safe and simple.
Care in this direction will keep you in
good health and prolong your life.

THE SIMs-GLOVER BOUT.

The Honorable Thetus w. Sims, of Tennessee
and the Honorable Charles c. Glover, premier bank
er of Washington, not the finished politicians
that Secretary Bryan and Speaker Clark are. If
they had been they would have had mutual friend
arrange a diplomatic little feed, and there would
have adjusted their differences and issued statements
agreeing that they were both nice gentlemen, and
that if they had said anything unkind about each
other, they hoped they had been mistaken and any
how they were really both friendly to Rock Creek
Park, and that the question of which of them made
it, and whether anybody made anything out of it, was
unimportant.
But as plain, blunt citizens, they met in the
park and the banker took crack at the statesman.
This of course, in contravention of the Const-
tuition, which says in substance that no member of
Congress shall be caledpto account elsewhere, for
anything he may say on the floor of Congress. WHAT
Judge Sims said about MIR. Glover was said from the
formers place on the House floor; so Mr.. Glover
has violated section vi, article and is unconsttu-
tiona
With rather confident feeling that Messrs. Sims
and Glover will take care of themselves, and that
any damage that may have been sustained by the
sensibilities of one the headgear of the other will
be temporary and unimportant, cannot but regret
this slight, to say the least that has been imposed
on the Constitution. The poor old Constitution has
had hard time of late put it in the most cheerful
way you will. When gentlemen of the eminence of
these combatants meet in so public place as Far
ragut square and punch each others countenances
and the sacred old instrument it can only inspire
feelings of profoundest sorrow. Whatever the fu-
ture may develop in this little feud it is earnestly
to be hoped that the Constitution may be saved from
utter demolition If the Constitution is to be re-
pealed it should be done decently and in due form
by vote of the States, and not by the efhand swings
of our leading citizens.
