1t looks as though some human

political corruption, comparable to

aided by the abominable ignorance
that fights against sanitation.

Kansas New Burden.
(New York Sum-

Kansas that once bled, groans now under a new burden. A despatch from Topeka says that the banks of tbe estate are actually overfiowipg with money" William Allen White in the Emporia Gazette tells the situa- tion as a poet should:
 ''It is a great symphony of pros rerity that old Lady Natune is difect- ing out on the Kansas farms"
 Think back on the time when John Brown fought in hunger and poverty at Osawatomie, when William Alfred Peffer and Jerry Simpson smote the octupus of Wall street and all Kansas lay crushed and bleeding, powerless .n the grasp of the money lords of the East. Now, Kansas banks bulge with coin. having reached, says the modest Topeka despatch, q point where they receive no more deposits without violating the law" We read again while the Emporia poet rhapsodizes:
 "Out of the big moment comes the lowing of fattening cattle at feeding tune. Then a yip-yip of horsemen, a great believing and batter of hoofs, as the fattened steers go over the hill to the railroad. The small noises again, and then without warning the deafening buzz and roar that comes when father shifts gears and throws the new Packford into low gear as he hears the farmyard gate, on his way home from the stock yards"

The Voting Machine.

(New Haven JournalCourier.)
 We desire again to record our dis sent from the voting machine as a means of recording the political sen- timents of the electorate. We do this the more confidently because, originally attra by the theory ad- vanced in support of the accuracy of the machine and it's ability to carry quickly to the voters the result of their choice, we advocated it's adoption. Experience with it has convinced Us that more satisfactory results would be attained if return was had to the old-fashioned method of recording the popular will.
 As a means of almost compelling straight voting the machine is 8 de- cided success, but whether direct vot- ing is for the general welfare is an- other question. It can scarcely be said to be for the general welfare that voter, who wishes to discriminate
 between candidates for office should find the maximum of difficulty in do- ing so. He should find the the least difficulty in doing so The voting
 machine has reached a high degree
 of perfection from the mechanical l point of view. It would be more | or less of a plaything in use if the voter came frequently into contact with it as he comes daily into contact
 with other instrum ents of life which have been invented for his greater
 conveniences. The trouble is that the voter comes into contact with the voting machine but once in twelve l months at the outside and has thus
 premium put upon it's forgetfulness. l More or less preparation is necessary for every election, when as a matter i of fact the act of voting should be
 made so simple that the least effort | is required.
 l This view swings one back to the
 ballot of the Daddies, a paper instru- 1 Inent prepared in accordance with
 certain prescribed rules as to quality i of print paper and the font of type 1 to be used, the right admitted for
 the voter to write in the name of a
 candidate more to his liking, and
 finally the use of the envelope to se-
 cure absolute secret voting. The danger that might proceed from the
 use of pencil marks and pastors in
 establishing distinguishing marks is ! as nothing compared with the actual
 loss incurred in making it difficult
 for a voter to vote independently and
 at leisure. This advocacy of the | paper ballot preconceives the enact
 ment of a corrupt practises act with l teeth in it, even to the extent of for ] bidding political parties to transport lazy and indifferent voters to the polls. With these precautions, the attitude of the city government should be to make the task of voting as simple as possible commensurate with i the known weaknesses of human ma ture. The machine now makes the act of voting most difficult.

Pacifist Refugees.
(New London Day.)


 It is doubtful if even the most pro- nounced pacifist would find cause for greater admiration than that given to the average immigrant in the com- pany of nearly 1,500 Bulgarians, Turks and Macedonians who arrived at New York on one steamer yester- day, having come to this country for the avowed purpose of escaping the necessity of fighting.
 However unjust the causes for which their countries are at war or are about to go to war it is a little difficult to get up much enthusiasm for these refugees. We have heard of no demonstrations gotten up in their honor by their fellow pacifists here: of no concerted movement to lend them a welcoming and a helping hand. They are. after all, persons who ran away when their countries were in need of them, and persons of that kind, no matter how virtuous their impulses or how good their reasons, nave in all times and in all climes been fortunate to be merely tolerated. They have never been greatly admired. Even a soldier has no especial admiration for the enemy soldier who deserts to this side, no matter in what execration the soldier may hold the cause for which the de- serter has been fighting.
 There is a good deal of the old Adam in the human race, after all; and because of it we do not look to see the slightest fuss made over this ship load of refugees. even by the most furious opponents of war.

Taking Washington by surprise was the announcement by Secretary Yum ulty of the engagement of President Wilson to Mrs. Norman Gait of Wash ington, but by number of intimate friends it has long been expected. Miss Margaret Wilson and her cousin, Miss Bones, drew Mrs. Gait into the White House circle. They met her first in the early autumn of last year and were so much attracted by her that they sought her out more and more frequently, and the friendship between them rapidly ripened into an affectionate intimacy. Mrs Galt spent a month this summer at Cornish as

since her marriage in 1896. She is about thirty eight years old and was Miss Edith Boiling. She was born in Wytheville, Va, where her girl hood was spent and where her father, the late William H. Boiling, was a prominent lawyer. In the circle ot people who have known Mrs. Gait for many years she has been regard ed as a woman of unusual beauty, gifted with a natural charm. Friends speak of her as being constantly sought out as delightful companion remarking especially on her thought fulness and capacity for accomplish ing anything she chose to undertake.

the house guest of the presidents eld- est daughter. It was through this intimacy of his daughter and cousin that the president had an opportunity to meet and know Mrs. Galt. One of the most interesting facts about the engagement, indeed as told by friends, is that the presidents daugh- ters should have chosen Mrs. Gait as the object of their admiration and friendship before their father did. Mrs. Gait is the widow of a well known business man of Washington, who died eight years ago, leaving a jewelry business that still bears his name. She has lived in Washington

LITTLE DANGER FROM BOOKS
infectious Diseases Not Likely to
Be Transmitted. Is Opinion Off
ciaiIy Expressed.

The fact that infectious diseases
may sometimes be conveyed by books
has led to exhaustive Investigations to
determine just how much danger there
may be from this source, particularly
in public Libraries and waiting-rooms.
The particular disease investigated
as the one most likely to be transmit
ted, was tuberculosis. and the conclu-
sions reached are gratifying and reas-
suring, as follows:
There is probably no material risk
involved in handling books recently
read by consumptives unless the books
are obviously soiled. Even then the
risks are slight. But in order to pro-
vide against possible infection II is
suggested that suspected books should
be placed in quarantine" for a month
that is. placed in a room where
there is free circulation of air. such as
one with a window open. At the end
of 30 days all germs of tuberculosis,
and probably all other germs likely to
be found in the books. win have been
killed.

BEAUTY AND GOOD HABITS
Too Few Seem to Recognize the Part
That Health Plays In Matter of
Appearance.

II is impossible to be beautiful with
out being healthy. Health is the foun-
dalton of beauty. II one wants to be
really beautiful, the beauty. must be
more than skin deep. The trouble with
most people is that they are quite sat
isfied with a beauty that is superficial
enough to deceive the onlooker. Beau
ty includes vigor and efficiency.
To be really beautiful n must have
not only a beautiful face, but beautiful
hands as well; not simply a good COM
plexion all over. Not in%frequently a
persons body is covered with pimples.
With such blemishes on the face one
would feel very badly, but so long as
they are out of sight, they are not re-
garded. However, they mean thes same
thing as If they were face pimples.
They mean that the whole body Is In
a state OF u-ncleanness and of low re-
~sistance because Of this uncleanness.
The only way to be really beautiful
is to live beautifully, TO live rightly.
That means to live naturally. For ex-
ample, il one is aiming to be beauti-
full, n must eat beautiful things, be-
cause our bodies are made of what We
eat. If one eats corpses, how can one
expect to be beautiful? But II one
eats the beautiful fruits and nuts that
are hung from the trees. inviting US to
reach up and partake-if one eats
these and other natural foods that ma
ture has prepared for us, that are all
pure and sweet and good and clean.

blood. and the result of good. clean
blood will be a clear skin and a good
