lack of confidence prevalent north, south east and west Statesmen are almost past memories, every man seems to ride into office on a hobby or carries an axe with him, and in the grinding makes 8 | big fuss, gets a lot of advertising, and ! is busted from the game at the close of his term because somebody else was a | little shrewder in promising. The refill ! ing of the office is mechanical, soaked with a great amount of "bluff," until the republic staggers on times speedway. and leave a population to groan over the sit uation-to bar it's bruises and cure them with an ointment of threats. The situation has become alarming and in a way tending to pauperize the world, by promise of easy jobs. Often before man can secure work, he must pledge haps is 12 months in the future. and the promise either makes him 8 slave or per- haps false to his obligation. Thus our political alertness is destroy ing the liberty of free American citizens, the very freedom we fought for cen tury ago, without that intent, no doubt, but nevertheless the bondage is visible to the close observer.
 A freemans vote should be cast ac- cording to the original democratic prin- ciples and the vote should be cast after a careful knowledge of conditions, ability and adaptability of the candidate and the demands of the office.
 The fearful ordeal of political cam paign Is so strenuous, so expensive, indi- cates so much insincerity, and so much trading, that before the conflict is over. dsgusted with the tricks, the voice of the nerve worn candidate is heard, like Poe's "Raven," croaking never more"
 This is only temporary repentance The candidate has a wonderful capacity for recuperating, and as the plum trees be- gin to blossom, he is tempted by the luscious fruit, and with apologies to the public "he is once more persuaded by his friends to run Accommodating even pa triotic, he begins the sacrifice, and be- comes a factor in political embarrass- ment
 The business world is stagnated in the toll for the vote.
 The government, both national and civic, needs workers, capable men at the helm to conduct the executive depart ments but the sitUa ton is alarming, one kalf of the good men are in the running and many too many are ruined in the race.
 Much valuable clerical and operative material is thus destroyed in the desire for and easy political jobs.
 Position that is what the world is clarnoring for We under value the dig nifty of work, and are neglecting the true merits involved in service.
 The people need tonic; they should call a doctor who can locate the germ retarding the peoples welfare, and use lis science to cure.
 Not by strategy or cunning do we win the best of living, but by the honest sweat of the brow.

strategy of a political game. There is a deal every day, but the trump is only drawn in the ballot on the last.
 Politics soar above everything else; it is game with many cards. in the deck, and he who shuffles best is the winner; he need not be the best player, although he must know the game.
 Everybody dreads politics, and yet there is no toxine cure; they must have it. and the system once affected never recovers from it's sting. There remains a wild dsire to "try, try again." There is something so fascinating in the run nlng that even the sluggard clamors for the race. There is so much wasted en- ergy in campaigning, and invested money in the scheming, the business world suffers from an incurable malady, unless some despotic hand revises the true policies or a Napoleon appears on the scene and demolishes the skeleton of a trembling government, what will be the outcome of playing politics
 The voters are making a joke of@the oath of maturity, instead of arriving at the age of discretion, they are striving amid indiscretion, are forgetting their serious obligations and responsibilities and voting as a habit, often without any thought of effects on civic welfare
 Is there not a public trust placed in tiC .Ol lHe IldIl at the age or Zl tEis privilege to vote for the governors CT his liberty, peace and prosperity? Is 1t not moral as well as legal obliga- ton? Foolish sentiment, a crude inter. pretation of our duty is retarding com. merce, handicaping finances. destroying ou- home life, and demanding bigger Jalls We vote for the individual, not to obtain the best service; sentiment IS rapidly taking the place of judgment; we are losing the appreciation of face value m human service and are trading ca- pacity, integrity and conscientious vote for an uncertain promise for the next election.
 In the past it was an honor to be a part of the country's government The offices demanded high class service. if was something of importance to win an offlce at the hands of the people. Now the price you pay in toll, vain promises and little trading lands the job. and oemoralizes good government If there IS no proof of graft, there is always sight suspicion, and there is an evident

The Value of Sunlight

From the Salt Lake City Telegram.
 Sunlight is a great germicide. Our pioneer grandmothers did not know much about germs, but they acted on modern principles when they hung their milk pails~ and strainers in the sun "to sweeten." as they said.
 Sunlight, as well as fresh air. should be used as a part of the general pro- cesses of house cleaning. The thrifty habit of shutting out the sun in or- der to keep carpets and draperies from fading indicates a large degree of ig- norance of modern methods of sanita- ton.
 The airing and summing of bedding every week, all the year round, is a most important part of good house. keeping, but one which is much neg lected, especially by women who live in flats where science is very often sac- rificed to esthetics.
 Therefore it becomes imperative that at house cleaning time the under side of rugs carpets, mattresses and cush- ions should be exposed to the sun and air for as long a period as possible.
 Sunlight is free to all.
 Plants will not thrive without it.
 Animals love to bask in it.
 Only man shuns it and by doing so he ircurs unnecessary danger from tu- berculosis and other diseases.

The Rnokworm

From the New York Tribune.
 Submitted by second-year high school boy:
 Robinson Carusoe.-This book was chosen by Depoe, a man of many quail ties and professor at Fordham univer- sity. It was edited by Ginn & Co.,, con- taining 149 pages, costing 65 cents.
 Professor Depoe's selections are very interesting. He knows where Carusoe left his wife and went up to the summit of a high mountain with his gun in hand, accompanied by a dog While he was there for a short time darkness came upon him and he felt drowsy so he put his gun at his side and fell asleep. Here he slept for number of years and when he awoke he found that he had grown old and his gun was rusty Moreover. there were men play ing tenpins and dining on the noun tain. This he. too. soon partook Of. Finally he thought of home, and he began to descend the mountain. He now found himself in city. After searching for his nome he was made known to his wife. and they lived hap oily ever after.
 All of Depoe's books are on this style and should be in every home

The story Is told of two Treuton men who hired a horse and trap for little outing not long ago. Upon reaching their destination the horse was unhar- messed and permitted peacefully to graze while the two men fished for an hour or two.
 When they were ready to go home a difficulty at once presented itself, inas- much as neither of the Trentonians knew how to reharness the horse. Every effort in this direction met with dire failure. and the worst problem was to properly adjust the bit. The horse himself seemed
