RUPTURE SURED
by STUART'S PIAPAO-PAIS means
that you can throw away tho painfnl truss
altogether, as tho Plapao-Pads are made to
cure rupture and not simply to hold it; but
as they aro made self-adhesive, and when
adhering closely to tho body slipping is im-
Jtossiblo, therefore, they are also an important
actor in retaining rupturo that cannot be

AN INTERESTING SUGGESTION
Konesaw (Nob.) Kaleldosopo: The
greatest question before tho Ameri
can peoplo today Ib tho purification J
of tho ballot. Men may grow elo
quent over civic righteousness and
temperance and women may sing the
praise of equal suffrage, but while
these propositions aro desirable and
worthy of tho effort being put forth
in their behalf, they do not strike
down to tho tap root of the real evil
thoy never have and never will
solve tho problem that confronts us.
Don't misunderstand, and say we
aro opposed to these ideas; wo be
lieve in them as ideal rather than
practical. Paradoxical as it may ap
pear, we believe in both an extension
and a restriction of tho ballot. Wo
say women, as a simplo matter of
justice ought to have the privilege
of voting, but wo realize that wo
men, like men, might fail in her full
duty to the state. It is said, but too
true, that we already have more than
enough voters of an undesirable
class, and also too many of the re
spectable element who fail to exer
cise the priceless privilege of mak
ing the state what it ought to be. We
question the wiBdom of enlarging
these evils without in some manner
safeguarding tho heritage of our
children.
How do we propose to do this?
It seems to us a simple matter, and
wo believe when tho American people
fully realize the menace of an un
clean ballot it will be done quickly.
Here is our remedy:
A simple amendment to our elec
tion laws adding to expected lists,
such as Indians, idiots, convicts, etc.,
every person engaged in an illicit or
unlawful vocation. We would then
specify, as a part of tho penalty for
evory conviction for the violation of
any law, the disfranchisement of the
convicted paTty for one year. This
penalty we would make a statutory
one, accompanying every conviction,
whether a fine or imprisonment be
the verdict of the court.
We believe every decent, law
abiding, sane, sober, industrious citi
zen, male or female, should have a
vote, but that no law-violator should
have a voice in the selection of those
who aro to make or execute the law.
When this is done politicians will
no longer cater to tho vicious ele
ment, because the power of the ballot
is elsewhere, and clean men and wo
men will be nominated to make and
execute the law.

THE LOYALTY OP YOUTH
James Otis Kaler, who died a few
days ago in Maine, published 145
books for boys under the pen name
"James Otis," and retained his popu
larity to the last. All of these books
were written in thirty-five years, and
it is likely that he left twelve or fif
teen more in manuscript, which will
appear in book form in due time.
Mr. Kaler had not a trace of genius
and was not even literary in any real
sense, but he had a crowd of faithful
readers who followed him through
seven or eight score volumes.
It is a remarkable tribute to the
lovalty of youth, one of wblHi pub
lishers take note. An author who
once gains the heart of a boy retains
it always, and the boy in turn when
he is a middle-ased man passes that
Affection on to his own sons. Tho
libraries, with their committees of
selection, have found it Impossible to
kill off the works of Horatio Alger
and Oliver Optic, thin and light as
thev are. "Grown-ups" of a similar
quality would have died a yeaT after
publication.
How many writers for adults could
find a public for 145 novels? Not
Dickens nor Hawthorne, not Scott
nor Thackeray nor Tolstoy. Dumas
has about sixty titles tiat are still
alive, but Dumas himself was the
spirit of youth. Tn the last analysis,
'.'Tho Count of Monte Cristo" is a
a boy's book, and "The Three Mus-
NO MOKE SECRET PAJtDONS
Complaint is justly made that
there was no public hearing in re
gard to Patrick's application for a
pardon. There was no notice in ad
vance of tho fact itself that Gover
nor Dix contemplated granting a
pardon.
The district attorney was not con
sulted. The trial judge was not con
sulted. Patrick himself was not ex
amined and compelled to justify his
application. All the papers and
documents have been sealed by the
governor and are not open to inspec
tion. The whole proceeding was con
ducted in secret, and secrecy In gov
ernment always begets suspicion.
Star-chamber pardons are only a
step removed from star-chamber
trials and convictions. While the
latter may work to deprive the in
dividuals of life or liberty or prop
erty, the former may operate to de
prive society of its just rights. A
pardon, after all, is a judicial pro-
1 ceeding intrusted to the governor,
and the exercise of the pardoning
power should always Imply complete
publicity.
On this point Governor Dix is fair
lly open to censure. If lfo believed
Patrick Innocent of murder, It was
his solemn duty to grant a pardon, no
matter what anybody 'lso thought.
But It was nevor his solemn duty to
suppress all public knowledge of the
proceeding until the pardon had been
granted. Nor was it his solemn duty
to conceal the full reasons for his
action.
Tho governor rightly said that
"there has always been an air of
mystery in this Important case."
That is all the more cause why he
should not have increased tho mys
tery by acting in secret and withhold
ing his confidence from the people
of the state.
Patrick's pardon should be the last
pardon granted in New York with
out public notice and a public hear
ing From New York World.

A FRANK CONFESSION
Frank Dowd in the Bloomington
(Neb.) Advocate: Take off your
hats, democrats, and make your bow.
Hon. William J. Bryan, gentleman,
tho political general, who has won
the greatest victory of modern his
tory. Nelson at the battle of Copen
hagen disobeyed orders and won a
great victory for England. Arnold
at Saratoga disobeyed his superior
officers and won the deciding battle
of the revolution. History will honor
Bryan's act at Baltimore, as example
of moral courage, whose far reach
ing effect will influence the history
of our country as much as the act
of Arnold. While we bitterly re
sented Bryan's repudiating instruc
tions at the time, in the light of lat
ter events, we acknowledge the wis
dom and courage of Bryan and
humbly apologize for our error.
