LENGTHENING HUMAN LIFE.

It Is now a fact recognized by
scientists that there is no arbitrary
limit to human life. Longer life and
better health are coming more and
more to be regarded as things which
may be bought with money scientific
cally expended for the promotion Of
sanitation and hygiene.
Pasteur enunciated the belief that
1t is within the power of man to rid
himslf of every parasitic disease, and
ever since his remarkable discover
les, sanitarians and physicians have
directed their efforts primarily to the
destruction of germs. In SO doing.
according to Professor irving Fisher,
of Yale, who addressed the American
Public Health Association on the
subjct. they have overlooked the most
potent cause Of short life.
We have reduced our death rate In
this country, according to Professor
Fisher. by reducing the number OF
deaths from Infection before middle
age, in spite of an increased loss Of
life after middle age from degener-
alton Of the vital organs.
Furthermore, he finds that early
death from degeneration of the vital
organs Is especially prevalent in the
United States. In England, wher In
dtvidual exercise and sports are in
vogue, there is no increase in degen-
Grafton diseases, while in the United
States. the number OF deaths from

Hand Called Hnrd.

Z In an article IN the Saturday Even
ing Post, William H. Taft, former
president Of the United States, calls
the Democratic hand hard. He recites
that the Democratic House OF Repre-
sentatives the last two years of his
administration passed appropriations
larger by many millions OF dollars
than the Republican House the first
TWO years OF his administration. And
vet the Democratic party in its ma
tional platform pointed with PRIDE
to the Democratic House of fRepresen-
tatives under Mr.. Taft, and thereby
sanctioned the course of that House
in appropriating millions more of the
4 peoples money than the Republicans
did. This extravagant tendency OF
the Democratic party, this inclination
20 squander the peoples money
therefore, dates back of the present
democratic regime, some of whose
leaders arraign their Congress as the
most extravagant and profiigate with
IN the, history Of the nation. Taft
says:
The expenditures under appropria-
lions made in the first two years OF
my administration were $1,30S,621,-
96l .S6. These were made by a Re
publican House OF Representatives
The total expenditures for the two
years authorized by the Democratic
House Of Representatives that sue
ceeded amounted to $1,3$3, 025 ,195. 90
The actual expenditures for the two
years authorized by the Democratic
\ House, therefore, exceeded those, au.
thorized by the preceding Republican
House by $74 ,393, 2S3 SO.
do not criticize this increase. j
& signed the bills that made It. But, In
!; view OF the fact that the Democratic
q House passed them, the claim made in
the platform that the Democratic
House had lessened waste and ex.
tragagance, and reduced the annual
expenses OF the government by many
millions Of dollars must be taken as
a bit Of iumor.

The Primary RiII

The Primary Bill.
The reactionary Democratic press,
dominated by the Watson wing Of the
Democratic party. is kicking up con-
siderable fuss and feathers over the
pending primary bill and the pending
corrupt practices act. oddly, the
objection to the primary bill is that
1t compels the candidate to spend too
much money, while the objection to
the Parrish act is that it permits
him to spend too much. Oddly, too,
the alleged objection that 1t requires
money to secure popular favor in the
practice of politics under these acfi,
comes from those who either aided
and ahetted. or at least sactioned. the
corruption of the legislature and the

Shortly afterward Jim. the man
of all work about The Hippodrome,
was mysteriously missing. Jim has
often let the white folks know that
he is not afraid Of anything-not
even the boss Shuberts-and SO his
absence was not considered strange.
Later on he was found in coal bin

Of his courage was needed. The
