One little defeat in a suffrage race is
nothing in the life OF Mrs. Alfred j.

her borough That she is again strong

latest entry into the ring, from which
she has just emerged. leaving the

There have been seven cases OF scar
let fever in p. :. 80, OF Hollis, Long
Island. and the parents of the remain
ing pupils were getting so cautious that
they kept their children home until tho
building could be fumigated. The local
Health Department said fumigation for
scarlet fever was now considered a
picturesque relic of ancient sanitation
and was not done in the best health
circles.
Mrs. Emo, recently named School
Commissioner of Local Board 50, had
been exercising her prerogatives until
they were in the pink of condition. Al
this point she stepped in 20 say that
the school ought 20 be fumigsted. Az

Eight hundred pupils Of Public
School 50 demonstrated the value or the
Gary system at an entertainment given
at Erasmus Hall High School, in Brook

Gators, some of whom had previously

ticaly applauded the folk dances,
physical exercises and acting OF the
pupils. who were declared to have
reached that state of efficiency without
cutting a minute from regular study
time.
Mrs. Alice Ritter. principal of the
school. said that but parts of three
days had been consumed IN preparation
for last nights entertainment. The de-
light with which the children partlci-
pated in it indicated that none OF them
would have considered it hardship.
Russian, English. German and Swed-

FUNSTON rs RIGHT.

General Funston is quite justified in
establishing censorship over the
news as to his movements into Mexico.
Someone along the border line has
been altogether too free in sending
out statements as to what was or was
not the objective point of the punitive
expedition and these reports have
tended to confuse and embarrass the
situation. General Funston should
have free hand in this matter and
the newspapers should be content with
publishing the results of his move
ments, rather than advance informa-
ton as to them, especially when such
information is so liable to reach the
bandit chief and render his capture
the more difficult. The man who would
get into the confidence of the military
authorities and embarrass them by
giving out in advance the plan of cam
paign would deserve to be court mar.
tailed. Let General Funston run his
own campaign and the rest of us take
notice.

LEMON SPEAKS UP.

California lemon growers are de-
manding tariff protection in order to
keep up the prices of their product.
They want the government to slap a
tax on the people which will make lem
ons cost the consumer considerably
more in order to enlarge their profits.
They are frank about it. In fact, they
20 even further and ask that customs
receipts from such lemons as are i'm
ported under the proposed tariff he set
aside for the use Of the lemon grow
ers in fighting insect pests that infest
their treesi
Here is protection carried to its log
Zeal limits. The rights of the consum-
er to low prices created by the natural
law Of supply and demand are to be
sacrificed by government edict and the
consumers are to go further and pay
for the upkeep Of the lemon mems in
dustry. The lemon growers are rath-
err impudent, but they are simply more
candid and more innocently outspoken
than most other high tariff benefici-
aries.

MAY cheaper GASOLINE.

DR.. Rittman, a government expert,
has a. word Of encouragement on the
subject Of gasoline. The doctor some
months ago discovered a new method
of getting gasoline from crude oil. This
method is now being installed in many
plants and when in proper operation
it means that five times as much gaso-
line will be obtained from the same
quantity Of oil. So, while the oil pro-
duction is falling off it is more than
offset by the increased product Of gas
oline. DR.. Rittman says the new pro-
cess is not so fully in operation as to
affect prices at once, but looks for
good results within six months. AS to
the use Of alcohol and other combusti-
bles as substitute, Dr. Rittman does
not think it probable for a good while
to come. Purely as matter of cos,
he declares that alcohol does not be-
come a factor as motor fuel until
gasoline passes 40 cents gallon.

SHIVELY'S SYSTEM.

The late Senator Shively Of Indi-
ana dispelled one Of the illusions too
common among American politicians.
When he went out among the people
seeking their votes he did not put on
rusty clothes and assume the appear
ance of a farm hand In order that be
might touch their sympathies and get
into their good graces. Quite to the
contrary, he dressed In excellent taste
and often wore white cravat, which
gave him quite a clerical appearance.
A man Of naturally engaging person
atty, he heightened the effect by con-
forming to good taste and the conven-
tionalities. The fact that he was elect
ed TO congress several times in a dis
trict which was strongly averse to
him politically shows that a candidate
for public favor loses nothing with
the people by appearing like himself
when asking their votes and appearing
at his best.

The Daily Story
An Obedient Sony Eleanor Marsh.

Caspar Won Frauenhoren was a re-
markably steady young man, brought
up under the German patriarchal sys-
tenn of obedience to his parents.
Herr Won Frauenhofen gave out
through friends in different localities
that he would like them to be on the
lookout for a woman with a fortune
who would be willing, for the sake Of
adding a Won to her name, to marry
his son. In time word came from an
old friend that he knew Of such a
woman, Gretchen Hauck, but she was
personally very unattractive. Her teeth
were bad, some Of them having been
lost and not replaced artifcially; she
was lame and limped when she walk
ed; hair grew on her chin.
Caspars parents now began to en-.
deavor to persuade him to accept this
woman whose fortune was represented
to be large enough to enable him to
go to the capital with a view to solic-
iting some government position. I'm
fortunately the young man had met
and fallen in love with the daughter
Of a wine manufacturer, and the idea
Of marrying instead a repulsive wom-
an even with fortune was more than
even his filial education would stand.
Now, Amelia Schlotter, the girl Cas-
par loved and who returned his love,
was young person Of resource. She
lived near the woman who had offered
to exchange her marks for Won and,
going there, spent some time In learn
ing all about her. A letter came to
Herr Won Frauenhofen from Gretchen
Hauck that before marrying Caspar
she would like to look him over; but,
realizing that he was not plentifully
supplied with cash, she would not put
him to the expense Of making the
journey. She had friends in Stuttgart,
where he lived, and was intending to
make them a visit During this visit
she would call at the Won Frauenho-
fens and make their acquaintance.
