Citua iverywnere are waking up to th<> necessity for thoroughness of sani- tation if tin health and lives of their people are to be conserved. The dif- ferent conditions and the greater op- portunity given Mother Nature to right the wroogs committed by man has delayed the recognition of the need for sanitary conditions In rural districts as well as a lack of knowledge of the difference be- tween the good and. the bad in drainage, sewage, insects, pure water and milk, and all the other problems that confront the denizens of a thick- ly populated territory. In the recent session of the Ameri- can Health association, which was held in Colorado Springs, Dr. Cabx, L. Axsbcbo, bead of the bureau of chem- istry of the national department of agriculture, entered a plea for better , sanitary conditions In country duv :, trlcts and small towns and villages. The value .of the experimental work of the department of agriculture is { becoming more and more recognized by the agriculturists and the help of the bulletins an subjects of Interest I:to them sought with increasing fre- f quency.

W; The various theories which have been produced to account for the de- feat of the Democratic candidate in the third congressional district of f Maine, recently, must yield to the very significant figures which tell tbe story gjj ot the election. The Democratic can- |$4tldate received within about one hun- ^ and of the rote cast for Wibsoxi In November; the Republican vote was . increased six thousand and the Pro- gressive experienced a corresponding . ' less. In the face of these facts, the ex- ' planatlon of the result of the election on the ground of unpopularity of the j*tariff policy of the Democratic admin- iteration cannot atand. Equally un- piound is the speculation concerning the overwhelming personal popularity lof the Republican candidate, for in Sjf?#Bat event, more votes would have keen drawn from tbe Democratic total. ,j^sjrs.

Two weeks ago, when the Progress- ives if Chicago met at Rlverview to celebrate tbe first anniversary of the birth of their party, their leader ana idol found it Impossible to be present with them. So "strenuous" was his life Just then with preparation for his Journey to South America that there was not even time to spare for the dictation of a message of appreciation or Interest in tbe affair. Now comes tbe announcement that Mr. Roosevelt stands ready to board the first train to Denver to enter Into tbe fight which Judge Btw B. Lnrnsrr Is making for the retention of his of- fice. It is quite possible, should the Colorado judge accept the champion- ship of the advocate of the recall of judges, that a new phase of the possi- bilities of that beneficent measure may be presented which will dampen the ardor for that particular sort of reform. * * * STEP CAREFULLY. "Woman Would Blow Up Jail." Per- haps it was only the neatness with which this particular collection of words fitted the line to be filled that prompted their use In one of Chicago's dailies recently above a story of the conditions existent In the Clark street police station. Perhaps It was the suspicion of militancy in the utter- ance of Mrs. AOTOiKC-rrs Funk re- garding the use of dynamite as a quick means of removing the vermin infested, fire-trap station. Whatever tbe explanation of this particular instance, the moral to be drawn is the same. In the sudden prominence which has come to the leaders of the suffrage cause in Illi- nois, there Is one Injunction which should be foremost in their minds: "Abstain from all appearance of evil." * * * FOR HIS COVNTRT8 BAKE. Life is full of surprises. Among those which have come to the editor of this paper, the first rank must .be given to a copy of*Dr. Fbkdzbiok A. Cook's "My Attainment of the Pole," with an enclosed postal card asking us, "in the name of fair play," to ex- ert such influence as we may to bring about a national investigation into the propriety of his claim to precedence in the ranks of Polar discoverers. Dr. Cook's sole aim in desiring such In- vestigation is to remove the "blot on our Flag.and the slur on our National Honor." In our opinion the best course for Dr. Cook to pursue to remove both blot and slur, is to retire into the ob- livion which is waiting to receive him. An odorless onion, tbe result of ex- perimentation in horticulture conduct- ed by W. N. Mima of St ClalrvUle, Ohio, is likely to be a far greater boon to humanity than tbe thornless cactus, or any other of the many wonderful creations of Lutheb Bubbaitk. The not Inconsiderable advantage of being able to Indulge a secret fondness for tbe unsavory vegetable, fades Into in- significance in comparison wlQTlhe blessing of not being compelled, on oc- casion, to endure the results of a less conscientious scruple on the part of a chance neighbor in a public gathering. * * * Rouxo and Jxrucr without the bal- cony scene is suggestive of fUamrr without the melancholy Dane and yet that is exactly what Whxiam Favbb- shah is Intending to give to his audi*, ences during his season in Amerlea this winter.

ANSWERS GREAT QUESTION Writer Siys That far Years Social Leadars Have Been Trying to Find Some Way te Care for the Peo- ple This Hotel Will Help- in its "Survey of the World" col- umns the New York Independent gives considerable space to the Rufus Dawes Memorial /hotel In Chicago, which now is under course of con- struction. The hotel is being erected by C. O. Dawes, Greenwood boulevard and Sheridan road, Evanston, presi- dent of the Central Trust Company of Illinois, as a memorial to his son, Rufus Fearing Dawes, who lost hi6 life a year ago while in bathing In Lake Geneva, W1b. This is what the Independent has to say under the caption, "Decent Lodging for Poor Men:" "The question of furnishing clean and decent sleeping quarters for 'poor but respectable' boys and men who can pay but a pittance Is a question that has always troubled the societies for social Improvement among the poor of the cities. When the doors of the Rufus Dawes Memorial hotf**/ in Chicago are opened, the world will have one example from which to draw for further buildings of the same kind. "There will be good accommodations for 300, and 200 more can be taken in an emergency. Beds will rent for 5 cents a night and rooms for 10 cents. Meals will be sold for 2 cents to 5 cents each. These rooms will furnish clean, warm winter sleeping quarters for Chicago's drifting poor who would otherwise occupy some of themany filthy 5 and 10-cent 'Joints* now open. Here they can get a chance to sleep Indoors in comfort without the usual unclean and re- volting surroundings. "Speaking of the new hotel, Charles O. Dawes, who erects It as a memo- rial to his dead son, says: 'The in- tention Is not to make it a hotel for downs and outs, the riff-raff of Chi- cago's Blums, but to have It a hotel where men who are 'down' but not 'out' can obtain comfortable rooms and wholesome food at nominal prices.' To Open Dee. 1. "it is hoped that the building will be ready for use by Dec. 1, when the cold of winter will have begun to pinch. It will reach a numerous class to whom life, especially in winter, presents bitter experiences. It will enable the man who can get little work or who Is able to do but a lit- tle a chance to pay his way from the smallest of wages and still look any man in the face. "In New fork the long-famous Mills hotels fill a somewhat similar place, though their accommodations are not as cheap. The third has recently been put up at Seventh avenue and Thirty-sixth stroet, a fine fifteen- story building with rooms for 1,875 men, arranged according to the Mills hotel plan with but one single bed to a room. Number 1 and No. 2, as they are known, one on Bleecker .and the other on Rlvlngton street, provide for 1,654 and 600 lodgers, respectively. "At each of these houses a man can buy food for 6 cents or more, and beside the a la carte service there are 20 and 25-cent lunches and 25-cent dinners. A room costs 20 or 30 cents at the older hotels, and 30 or 40 cents at the new one." FOOD OH WILD COOSE CHASE Two state food inspectors visited Evanston recently to investigate a statement that reached the food commissioner of Illinois that the re- cent report of Food Inspector Arthur Hedrich charged that 90 per cent of the toilets in tbe Evanston -grocery stores are unsafe. They were quickly shown that the report stated that only 22 per cent of the grocery store toilets were found to be unsafe. Some food Journal evidently had copied the report and distorted the facts. This was read by the state, food commissioner and he ordered his men to look Into the situation. While tbe inspectors were secretive about their mission,, they stated that an inspection of food in Evanston would be conducted later this year. It has been some time since the offi- cials have visited Byanstoa and it was hinted that they expect to And a few violations.
