The Passing of Croker.

fichard Croker, who has just died in ireland
the land Of his birth, will best be remembered
Tor the remarkable success he gained in Amer
lean politics. rising from Il poor immigrant to
The ruler of Tammany hall, New York. one of
the most powerful organizations of its kind in
the world. Croker was the chief OF Tammanv
Tor decade, and in that period his word was
oSoiu'e Jaw me organization was factor
alike in city, state and nation, and its influence
was so manipulated that it was rarely without
controlling voice in affairs that brought returns
to those in the inner councils of the orgsniza-
ton
While Tammany has always been regarded
as Democratic in politics, it has been known IN
betray its own party when it failed to efrac,
satisfactory arrangements with candidates It's
support would be thrown to those men il
could control. Tammany adopted no half way
measures. Its policy was either rule or ruin.
Croker became wealthy in politics not as an
omceholoer, but from the advantages that he
gained by controlling men in public places who
were IN position TO dole out favors He played
the game as he found it was necessary to play
it if he was to hold his power and enlarge his
wealth. Croker typiied the machine boss in
American politics, an individual that preached
adherence to party and principle, but who
swung his voting strength in the direction
where the greatest material rewards were to
be had.
Tammany many times has been the center
OF sensational attacks. but it always succeeded
in weathering the storm, and steadfastly ad-
hered to the policies laid down by rulers OF the
croker type However in recent years Tam
many has been gradually losing its power as the
American voter has begun TO do his own think
ing In political matters. 1t is unlikely there
WIN ever be another Croker in American mol

Thrills That Are Costly.

Thousands of persons paid as high as s75
for a seat to view the recent royal wedding
procession in London. They wanted a thrill.
When Dempsey and Carpenter clashed thou
sands of fight fans paid $50 each to get fight
thrill. Three years ago when a young man
wanted silk shirt thrill he planted down
fifteen or twenty bucks and carried his new
thriller home in his pocket A man with a
thirst for thrills tried stunt over Niagara
Falls and went under school boy had a
thrill thirst the other day and drew an old
gun on his brother to brighten him. The gun
was loaded. The boy got his thrill Mt
Vernon, N. Y. boy wanted thrill so he
climbed to the roof of freight car and rode
north. An overhead wire gave him his thrill.
His body was found in the ditch.
Many man has made a fool of himself
because he wanted a thrill Many a girl has
lost her happiness because she adventured to
obtain thrill. Thrills are extremely aIluring,
expensive and often disappointing. There are
thrills and thrills, but the thrill that is sought
for the sake of the thrill is about as compen-
sating as a bubble caught for the bubbles
sake. We must have thrills. good thrill is
a tonic to the nerves. 1t tones up the mind
and puts springs in the heels. 1t humanizes
and awakens one. If it were not for thrills
there would be little zest in winning a game
or accomplishing task. The mistake is to
try to get the thrill without fighting the bat
tie or doing the job. 1t is the short cut to a
thrill for its own sake that takes the sensation
out of the thrill and makes life stale and dis
appointing. The man who gets real thrills
preserves his enthusiasm, but the man who
destroys his thrills by taking off their keen
edge loses both the thrill and the enthusiasm
for it, In this time of readjustments it is
timely that we should give our favorite thrills
a revised valuation.

An Age of Sensationalism.

The surest way 10 attract attention these
days is to make sensational charges against
the innocent Thus the more or less estimable
lady who told an audience of women in a neigh
boring city last week that the high schools are
hot beds of vice naturally created a tremendous
sensation, great Indignation and the devil was

IN the public schools, but there may be now
and then individuals who have gone wrong
This is not unusual out of a colony of several
hundred young people. 1t has always been SO.
and always will be. But the real damage
done by speeches of this nature lies in the
TACT that the unthinking reader readily assumes
that the schools are centers of vice and that
young girls get advice and habits at school
that lead to their downfall. One might saw
with as good grace that because now and then
some young person belonging to the church
goes wrong the churches are breeders of vice
This is an age Of sensationalism The pub
lie appetite is so clogged and surfeted that
ordinary questions and statements occasion no
interest whatever. Unless We can shock the
community we cannot get hearing and that
In the trouble with the lady who attacked the
public schools. If she had merely declared
that vice was rampant she would not have been
able TO get hearing She in effect said that
most high school girls are courtesans, and she !
got too much hearing. She should have been |
shown the door.

THE SMOKING WOMAN.

Such wholesome prejudice as
still exists against the tango, the
lshimmy, jazz music and offensive
ly immodest dressing rests upon
! the fact that these are weaknesses
picked out of the gutter and adopt
ed by young women who lack
brains and old-fashioned home
training.
| Fifteen or 20 years ago we learn
ed to recognize as type the wo-
man who wore bobbed hair and
smoked cigarets. She was the ad-
vance model for the present fash
ion. We found her in Jail or in
the charity ward of the hospital.
She wasn't there because she had
bobbed her hair or contracted the
cigaret habit, but Jail and the free
surgical wards were just the nat
ural places for her to complete her
education.
That was Is or 20 years ago.
When college woman, the dean
or head martinez or main squeeze
or noble grand exemplar of
school for young women, comes
out boIdly-yes, boldly is the word
for tin favor of cigaret smoking
for college girls, that ought to
give sane parents pause.
AS l have often observed, the boy
who acquires the cigaret habit is
generally untrustworthy, foppish,
perhaps, but never neat about his
work-if he does any work-or
about himself and his environ

Controlling Outgrowing Toe Flesh.
About two years ago 1 followed
your advice about controlling an
''ingrowing" toe nail by the use of
adhesive plaster and have never
had any further trouble. A year ago
l followed your advice in Kidding
myself of the tobacco craving and
that, too, proved a success. l am
extremely thankful. My baseball
days are over now and am behind

ter in this town.-(G. F. j.
Answer-Which goes to show my
contention is right, that the toe nail
doesn't grow in" but the inflam-
ed flesh beside it overgrows the
edge of the nail-proud flesh, or
as doctors call it, exuberant granu-
lation tissue. The adhesive plas- |
ter should be applied to the toe
in narrow strips in a spiral fashion |
about the toe in such manner as to |
make moderate traction ON the |
flesh away from the nail edge. |
Clean the skin well with alcohol |
Dr. gasoline before applying the
strips, and use fresh strips every
lay.

| The old house looked as it die
go years ago, when Samuel Barne:
had come there with his bride. The
house was old then, it was little
older now; the paint a little more
| scorched; blinds sagging a triflt
more; chimney beginning to lose
its blumb. That was all. 1t had
| been built to meet the strain OF
winters cold and summers heat
There had been but few improve
meHts. Mother" did not care for
new ways of doing things, and after
she died her husband wanted every
thing left as she had seen it. Thus
there had been scarcely a change
in the house, the stable, IN the
small lot of land Mr. Barnes called
his farm. Dobbin, old now, stood
in the stable, the one COW left from
the herd, chewed her cud in the
doorway, chickens hoped about
the steps.
If there had been little change in
the house there had been many in
its surroundings. In the old days
there had been stretches of field
on all sides, with few houses in
sight-just the place he and his
wife loved
The house was on a slight eleva-
ton, at the junction OF two turn
pixies" where the mail coach
passed. There had been no need
of the DAILY" for the stage and
farmers brought the news.
Samuel loved his home and his
bit of land. The care of it gave
him just enough to keep him busy,
and give him an interest in life.
He loved his COW and chickens, and
som etimes even now harnessed old
Dobbin and drove to town. He glor-
led in the fact that the home was
his own.
Things had gone well with Mr..
Barnes and has wife. Children had
come to their home, grown up,
and gone out to make
homes of their own-all but Mary. |

shut in. He could no longer sit in

Houses shut out the view that he
