some trowsered friend, for it is impos-
sible for them, because of their skirts,
to ride on the back seat of anN tandem.
But on single tricycles they are quite
independent. AS cyclers they have no
rights to vindicate, as in tins capacity
their equality with men is established.
1t is not only women of the DR.. Mary
Walker type who are to be seen seated
between the wheels, but all sorts and
conditions. from mothers of families to
schoolgirls. Nor is it only in private
grounds and sequestered spots that
they take their exercise. have met
them in Piccadilly and by Hyde Park,
in Kemsington aud St Johns Wood,
and on every country road over which
have ridden, and very comfortable
and happy they looked.

babies, whom she straps to basket

fective aids to Irritation. Even on the
race course woman's equality is not
disputed. At the last meet at Harrow
gate one brave woman rode a tandem
with her husband. Unfortunately, she
did not win the race. There are Others

almost on line with her, and then she
pedaled away for dear life. The road
to Harrow is vile, all up grade, and in
parts sandy. SO we took it quietly
and gave her an easy victory, whereat
do not doubt, she triumphed greatly

ter with an immoral faint, and the
possible contingency that the canvass
for Ex-Gov st. join will so detract
from the vote for Mr.. Blaine as to re-
suit in the election of Gov. Cleveland.
None of this class of voters purpose to
vote for Cleveland, but they are con-
cerned 10y the reiterated argument of
the politicians that vote for ST. John
is practically vote for him, If 1t Is
thereby withheld from Blaine. Hence
they shrink from the implied RESPONSE
bility in promoting the election OF
Cleveland. We recently showed that
we regard this line of argument as alb
surd. Inconsistent, contradictory and
evasive. We now beg to call the at
tention of these brethren to the fact
that in voting for Mr.. Blaine there
must he another alternative to consid-
or. Suppose that Mr.. Blaine is elected
aud that his administration continues
the practices of the previous admins
trations, in regard to the wine-drink-
ing customs now prevalent in the
White house and elsewhere, and the
tolerance of the liquor traffic i'll the
District of Columbia. How can the
Christian temperance man reflect with
satisfaction upon the fact that with the
knowledge that not even an implica-
ton appeared in all this presidential
canvass that these things would he
remedied, and yet in the face of their
notorious existence, he allowed his
hand to east vote Tor man who is
/ likely to perpetuate them ? Will the
fact that Cleveland is defeated atone
| for the election of president to con-
| Time the practices which now shame
| the temperance men and women of the
nation 4? The man who votes for st.
John has no more responsibility for
/ the election of Cleveland, should the
! canvass 50 result, than he has for his
nomination or for his past record. But
| he who votes for Blaine becomes de-
! libcrately responsible for the conduct
and influence of his administration, if
elected. because he has chosen between
two evils and is involved with the
one he espOuses. 1t is not possible to
escape moral responsibility i'll exercis-
ing the suffrage right but by casting
the vote which represents the right,
and for the candidate whom the voter
believes to be in full accord with all
moral issues. This we prefer to dc
trusting in God tn override the results
for the ultimate triumph of his truth,
rather than to assume to steady the
Ark, for the time being, 10y II departure
from the way of faith and rectitude.-

Minority Presidents.

For the last sixty years it appears
that not less than seven presidents
have been elected by minority of the
voters, represented, however, by a
majority of the electors. These presi-
dents were: Adams in 1924, Polk in
1914, Taylor in 1913, Buchanan in
1856. Lincoln in 1860, Hayes i'll 1876,
and Garfield in 1880. In 1924 Adams
had only 1892 per cent. of the votes,
and as no candidate was chosen the
president was elected by the house.
In 1914 Polk had 1886 per cent. of the
votes. Clay 4014 and Birney 2.2l. A
difference of = per cent. determined
the issue. In 1913 Taylor had 49.36
per cent. Case 1873, and Van Buren,
10.l4 per cent. Eight years later Bu-
chanan became president, having re-
ceived 1874 per cent. of the votes,
while Fremont had 1900, and Fillmore
had 2l.57. Lincoln in 1860 had 1891
per cent. of the votes, Douglas 29.4 =,
breckenridge 1903, and Bell 1861
Hayes had only 1875 per cent. and
Tilden 1894. Garfield had 4S.26, Han
cock 1925, and Weaver 1888. The
highest percentage of votes ever re-
ceived by any successful presidential
candidate was in 1928, when jackson
had So 81 per cent.

A Millionaire NeWsbOy I!

A good story is told of the Hon.
Frederick Billings of the Northern Pa
cific company. Arriving in Duluth
not long ago with II party of friends i'll
his private car, he saw Il newsboy
standing on the platform. "Have you
the st. Paul Pioneer Press ?" asked
Mr.. Billings. The boy sand he had.
"Give me five copies. Got any other
papers ?" "Want the Minneapolis Trib-
une ~ ayes, I'll take five. Any Chi
cago papers ?" Tribune or Times ?"
GIVE me five of each. Any Duluth
papers ?" Evening Herald, just out"
''All right; I'll take five of that, too"
The boys eyes had been getting big
ger and bigger during this collOquy.
His suspicious that dangerous rival
was about going into the news bust
ness increased with every ord T, and
scanning the millionaire railroad di-
rector from head to foot, he exclaimed,
"Look here, Mister, are you selling pa
pers on this train p The joke of be
ing mistaken for Il newsboy was too
good for Nh. Billings to keep to him

Other curious contradictions are Oh
sevable about the West Virginia coun-

should be republican and Jefferson

A Successful Evangelist

Mr.. Moody is the most successful
evangelist of the present age. The
auditor sees standing ut the desk "A
dark mau of fifty years,
medium height, stout frame, broad
and STOPPING shoulders, surmOunted
by a square, strong head not above
the average for size of Uranium or ex-
panse of brow, with dark hair sprink-
led with gray, full black whiskers and
moustache. This is the man who has
excited III this country and i'll Great
Britain within the past ten years rellg-
Gus awakenings hardly exceeded since
the time of the Wesleys. His elocu-
ton is commonplace. He reads and
speaks in strong chest tenor with
distinct enunciatiOn and a prevailing
though not unpleasant monotone. The
impression is disappointing and the
wonder arises that this man snOulH
possess the power imputed to him.
He is not II graceful orator, though he
has a considerable gift of natural, rug
ged eloquence. He talks rapidly and
uses words of Anglo-Saxon origin
chiefly. In fact, his diction is nearly
us simple as that of Bunyan. He goes
into no abstruse speculatiOns. There
is nothing abstract i'll his discOurseS.
They are homely and direct appeals,
enforced by IA fund of apt ami telling
anecdOte, illustration and parable.
These, then, are the striking qualities
about Mr.. Moody's Methods simple
Anglo Saxon style, Il wealth of Illus
tration, and argument and appeal,
based on childlike, unquestioning
faith. The possession of these quail
ties in an unusual degree, added to
good Judgment in conducting such
meetings, is to II great degree what
gives Mr.. Moody his wonderful intiu-
ence. TO this must be added the eff
feet of sympathy always observable in
large religious gatherings.

gregate population in ronnd numbers
of nearly 1000 900, paid revenue tax
on spirits of little more than 81, 900, -

The five license states, Maryland,

during the same period, with an aggre-
gate population of eight and half
millions, paid nearly 500, 000,0 600. With
Il little more than twice the population
of the prohibitory states, the five Ii
cense states paid nearly fourteen times
as much revenue tax on spirits, i'll fa-
vor of prohibition seven times told.
