ing, after an illness of about one year.
OF late he seemed to be better, but
severe cold and pneumonia, con-
tracted last week proved fatal.
He was probably the last of the old

Governor Morrill, appointed him one
Of the board of managers of the state
reformatory at Hutchinson and he
helped organize that institution and
personally selected the first inmates
from group of thirty boys in the
state penitentiary at Lansing.

Republican, was reelected by only
5000 plurality over the Alliance can
didate, w. +. Rightmire.
While not an office seeker, Judge
Nicholson always cheerfully accepted
these forlorn hope nominations the
Democratic party gave him, simply
las a public duty. His election twice
to the judgeship of the Eighth district
was as an Independent candidate.
Since retiring from the bench in
1892. Judge Nicholson has been ac-
tive in legal practice and with wide
and important clientage, among which
were the Rock Island ana Missouri
Pacific railway companies, which, for
many year he has represented in his
part of Kansas.
In Masonic circles he has been
prominent, being a Knight Templar
Scottish Right Mason and Shriner
He was also a member Of the order or
Elks.
He was a Presbyterian and helped
organize that church at Council Grove
nearly fifty years ago, profound stu
dent Of the Bible and an interesting
teacher in the Sunday school Of his
church years ago.
Judge Nicholson was a native Of
Ekye Glenn, Inverness county, Nova

Unquestionably the world will be bet
ter and wiser and healthier when we take
the advice Of these food experts. 1t may
even be that the average life of man will
be extended four or five years-which
may or may not be desirable.
But let us not fool ourselves with the
thought that we can dodge old age. We
can't. For wise men though they be,
Doctors Oldfeld, McCann and Wiley will
die when old age reaches them, if they
don't die before that time, as Fletcher

that he consulted doctor on the number
necessary to kill him, deciding that a
surfet would mean joyous death.

So we need not consider the matter of
extending life. 1t will be sufficient to
give heed to the food experts for the wis
dom they speak, the wisdom that means
health and consequent happiness. And

TIE ROOT OE THE EVIL

COLONEL MCCAIN and Carl Acker-
~ man, who appear actually to be the
first impartial Investigators to look be-
low the surface of the coal strike, are
sending reports that are Of peculiar value
as commentaries upon recent election re-
suits in Massachusetts and elsewhere.
There seems to be little innate radi-
calism among the rank and file of the
workers in the coal fields. But there is
misapprehension and unrest traceable
chiefly to the unbearable costs of living
among men who usually have large fami-
lies and limited pay. Add to this situa-
tion the work of shrewd, energetic and
unscrupulous propagandists of violence
who have fought way to leadership in
some of the trades unions and you have
the cause of widespread and disastrous
labor demonstrations.
The best aid to the Red agitator is the
profiteer whom Attorney General Palmer
discussed yesterday at Harrisburg. Prof
iteering, as Mr.. Palmer sees it, represents
the efforts of men in all classes of bust
ness to pass the burden of their income
taxes and their profits down to the ult-
mate consumer. 1t is natural, if this
appraisal of the situation is correct, that
the burden should make fruitful fields for
the radical troublemakers.
The attorney general is convinced that
profteers ought to be jailed. He will be
listened to with greater respect if he will
suggest way by which that desirable
end may be achieved.

LOVE AND A GREEN ISLE

THEY have in Ireland language that
l. includes more and lovelier terms of
endeament than any other in the world
1t is language admittedly without an
equal for the four purposes which wise
and great men regard as being supreme
in this life-for telling stories, singing
songs, making love and bidding defiance.
The ancient wisdom and humor that
gave to the Irish tongue its subtlety and
glory must have suffered grievous confu-
sion when high officers of the new repub
lie formally warn the girls of the land
that they must not fall in love. That the
restriction is supposed to apply only
where British soldiers are concerned mat
ters little unless we are to assume that
the bitterest punishment imaginable is
here reserved for the hated invader
Isn't love blind?
The southern Irish are, without excep-
ton, poets. That is their strength and
their weakness, as any one who ever was
in Ireland knows Has the time come
when you have to tell poets that love
cannot be helped? Must they be in
formed that the penalty, the cutting off
of the offending girls hair, is altogether
without meaning? A girl whose hair
was cut off for love would feel that she
was made thereby the more beautiful.
And all the world would share that
opinion!

Department of Public Welfare he will

Some landlords profit greatly through
ill-kept and overcrowded houses. Agita-
tion for closer regulation of tenements
is met often with plea for the sacred
rights of property.
The city itself should be concerned
about the health and well-being of the
humblest of its citizens. House owners
have been left too free in the systematic
exploitation of faialies that can afford
only minimum rental. The sanitary
code should apply in every dwelling.

A WoMAN'S REVOLUTION

ORDINARILY it is never given to men
~ to know what women are thinking
about. The feminine world moves in a
mysterious way its wonders to perform.
When, speaking through Mrs. o. H. P.
Belmont, Miss Doris Stevens, Mrs. John
Rogers and other distinguished members
of the National Woman's party, which
Miss Alice Paul used to lead in the
stormy days before the Anthony amend
ment was accepted, it reveals itself as
prepared and eager for "woman's revo-
luton" the other half of humanity may
only sigh and wait and wonder
"The social Fabric" says Miss Stevens
placidly, "is rotten. Women will take
control and make it over by establishing
absolute sex equality"
Sex equality is misleading term. 1t
might have been devised by women to
conceal the fact that there never can be
equal rights until man wins back the
authority and the various. sacred rights
that he relinquished generations ago
before accepting second place in the So
cial scheme.
In all the really important affairs Of
life woman leads. Women decide what
men shall wear, what shows they shall
see what books they shall read and what
they will have for dinner. They arrange
the order of a mans environment and
quietly and finally direct all his habits of
life, They decide whether the family car
is to be Sputz or Heartburn. Any
man who looks around the circle of his
friends will find that most of them have
been chosen for him by his wife.
The masculine world has retained to
itself the precious rights to dig COAL to
run locomotives, to fight in wars, to dig
the bitches of the world, to burrow for
iron and clean the streets and do the
general chores and worry about bills. If
Miss Paul and her associates refuse to be
happy until they can take away these
last remaining privileges of once
mighty sex they ought by all means to
be encouraged in their new campaign.
