would seem that the men of the,west,
and some in the east, had been car
ried away by the specious claims OF
"he kept us out of war" the eight
hour day" and Democratic prosper
ity;" that they, too, had been swayed
by sentiment founder upon fiction,
rather than by reason founded by
facts. It is. however, beyond argu-
ment that matters of sentiment appeal
more strongly to women than to men
and it quite probable that the intlu'
ence of women in the west was
strongly eXerted at the supper table
and by the evening lamp as we'll as al
the polls, in behalf of these emotion
al issues. Yet there is Illinois! Can
there be any difference between the

better presented to the women Of
Illinois? We are inclined to the lat
ter view.--St Louis Globe-Democrat.

WHArIr COST NEWTON.

The little city of Newton mas suf-
fered severely from an epidemic of
typhoid fever. So far five persons
have died and fifty-four cases have
been reported. According to reports
the outbreak was traced to a dairy
which supplied milk to the inhabi-
tants. At any rate the dairy has been
put under the ban by the authorities.
But that does not bring back the
dead or wipe out the suffering and
loss of those who are i'll or have re-
covered.
Under the law which lists a human
life at $5,000-which is certainl
cheap enough-NewtOn has lost $25,-
GOO worth of human lives. says the
Marshalltown Times Republican. Fifty
four persons loss Of time for from
one month to three months is an it,
EN- to be considered. The expenses
of fifty-four cases of typhoid in nurse
and physicians bills for service will
not run less than $500 each which
would total more than $4,000. Alto,
gether Newton has suffered a cold
blooded cash loss of more than $50,
600 because dairy was dirty and un.
sanitary. So much for the cordid
side of the calamity.
"A dirty dairy is as dangerous as
a dynamite storage house in the cen
ter of the business district of a city
1t is bid for disaster. II is the fore
runner of death and vast expense
Perhaps the city of Newton has not
spent dollar because of the out
break but the community of Newton
has lost valuable lives and expended
a great sum in the aggregate because
dairies are suffered to conduct tho
operations without sufficient sanitai
supervision.
The dairyman's premises may be
sanitary or not. his methods may be
dangerous or not, the water supply oil
the dairy may come from safe wells
or from the Lord knows where. The
dairy and the milk route may be
sanitary and sweet or 1t may be con
slant menace to the lives and health
of those it serves and through then
to the city or neighborhood.
1T is time for an effective inspec
ton of diaries. Such inspection, which
will cover the dairy from the cows t.
the milk bottle on the doorstep o.
the home is merely common sense
precaution. Some system should be
in operation."

ELECTION ECHOES.

1t is better for both sides now to
consider the result of the fight be-
tween the Republican party and the
Democratic party as a square and fair
one, says Henry Clews, and everybody
should accept the inevitable in a kind
ly spirit, forgetting and forgiving the
animosities which have cropped out
during the contest and be encouraged
by the prosperity now prevailing
throughout the nation and the strong
prospect for it's continuance for some
time to come. That is something that
no other nation can boast of in any
thing like the same degree and should
be enough to make the American PEG
pie happy and contented, especially
when they compare their lot with that
of the sufferers throughout Europe
Many people think that our present
election terminated in muddle ow
! ing to the votes of the electors beins
/ so close. l think however, that is
cause for rejoicing rather than other
wise, as it will serve to compel botf
of our great parties to put up, as they
I have done in this election, high grade
men for their candidates hereafter ant
not merely demagogue politicians. !
marks new era for our country
which will tend to perpetuate our Re
publican form of government, which
! firmly believe is the best ever devised
by the brain of man, especially TO
our cosmopolitan population-a gov
ernment of the people, by the peopl
and for the people. The result of tn
election goes to show that there ar
but few vital issues at stake betweel
the two great parties: besides, we ar
almost sure to have in the field here
after candidates, both learned, capabl
and highly representative men, sim
lar to those who have competed L

Driving demon racers
Round and round track.
Dozen frenzied PAGERS
Trailing closely back.
Right before the grand stand
Steering geer goes wrong.
Isn't this a thrilling sight
Befort a wild-eyed throng?
On a mighty ocean
Clinging to a stick
Constant rolling motion;
Couple, deathly sick.
Thousand miles from nowhere
Darkness coming soon
Isn't this a thrilling way
To spend a honeymoon?
Flying in an airship
Over countless heads
Cyclone comes to tear ship
In million threads.
Like a flaming comet
Tumbling down through space.
Isn't this a thrilling sight
For the human race?
Climbing to the steeple
or the highest tower
Dancing to the people
For a thrilling hour.
Hanging by the eyebrows,
Finger tips and toes.
These and many other thrills
At the Movie shows.
