devil with fire has never appeared to be
the most judicious way of overcoming
one who is represented by all reputable
and authentic tradition as being habitu-
ated to that element, and it is evidently
the devil or his agencies that must be
overcome in order to prevent the spread
of the present malady. Decapitation is
an effective cure for the toothache in in
dividual instances, but it does not extir-
pate the disorder. and is hardly fair to
the patient. On the other hand, Ingersoll
and other liberal theOlogians have made
it so extremely difficult to ascertain the
precise whereabouts of his satanic maj
esty that it is practically impossible to
administer any remedies to him, and
they must necessarily be limited to his
agencies. In this emergency, perhaps
the best we can do is to accept hint
from our friends, the enemy in PrOhibi-
ton camps, and urge prevention of the

A COLUMBUS OF THE WEST,

The people of Indiana have a greater
interest in the early French explorations
of the valleys of the Mississippi and
Ohio than is generally known; and too
little credit is given those who first saw
the Wabash for their pioneer efforts in
opening the Hoosier wilderness. Tardy
recognition is now being accorded one
of the most remarkable of the men who
are connected with Indiana's history,
and one who has been moderated and
overlooked by his own countrymen.
Judge Lambert Tree offers to erect
in Chicago monument to this
Columbus of the West, and now,
after two hundred years, Robert Cave
lier La Sale is to be remembered in the
land which he did much to introduce to
subsequent explorers and traders, and
ultimately to settlers.
Chicago is perhaps as fitting place as
any for this memorial. If some of the
schemes of this interesting Frenchman
could have been carried to successful
contamination, the history of the entire
West would read differently. An exam
nation of the mans work, his wonderful
courage and irrepressible energy; his
hopefulness and ability to recover from
reverses, make the story of his life read
ike q romance. One of the most re-

CONCERNING THE LIVER.

If the Journal were to construct an
old-fashioned riddle it would be: What
is that which everybody has and Nobody
could be without, but which most people
are always at war with, and wishing they
could get rid Off Give it up? The liver,
of course. That was a wise and witty
answer to the question whether life was
worth living, that cit all depends on the
liver" We are told that the brain is the
seat of intellect, the heart of the affec-
tions, the stomach the source of vital
energy, and good digestion the secret of
health. But all these are subordinate
and subject to the liver, which is at the
same time the LATEST, the most capri
cious, tyrannical, relentless and despotic
of rulers. There seems to be something
radically wrong in the relations of
mankind to their livers. No doubt
and, in the division of labor
and distribution of functions, the part
assigned to the liver was rightly adj
justed and cheerfully assumed. PrOba-
bly, the original man did not know he
had liver. 1t is pleasant to think that
before the fall Adam never suffered from
a torpid liver, never complained of bill
iousness, never had malaria, with the con-
cOmitant symptoms of soreness, gone
ness, mental inertia, physical worth
lessness, loss of appetite, suicidal pro-
pensities, homicidal feelings toward Eve,
bitterness against all living things, de-
sire to kick the cat, animosity towards
the sunshine, hatred of flowers, and gen.
eral degradation of feeling. If Adam
had ever felt that way there would surely
be some record of it, and as there is none,
we are at liberty to assume that he and

markable plans conceived IN his fertile
brain was that of forming settlement
in Illinois, and surrounding himself
with an army of savages. In the
history of Americas redemption from
savagery and wilderness there is nothing
more striking than this. La Sale had
allowed his Imagination to run away
with him in many of his enterprises. In
the beginning of his important work he
had dreamed of a passage to China
through river he heard of from the In
dians-the Mississippi-as leading to the
southwark through the heart of the con-
tinent. He built the Griffin, the first
ship that spread sail to the breezes of
the lakes. In 1910 he descended the
Ohio, and in 1923 became familiar with
the topography and geography of In
diana. He knew the Kankakee before
it became the famed paradise for sports
men, and the "OubOche" was a route
to the south which he saw would be
most important connecting link between
French Canada and French Louisiana.
With eyes as interested as the eagle
ones of Cortez, that Keats speaks of, he
saw the glories of the West Central
States before the value of the acquisi-
tions in America were realized by the
French king.
Yet of all the projects of Sieur de La
Sale, that of the great Indian con-
federacy was the most stupendous.
What might not an ambitious man do
with host of brave warriors at his
backf With such allies all manner of
expeditions might be undertaken, and
endless copquests made, in the name of
ellis Most Christian Majesty" 1t is of
interest in Indiana that this wonderful
adventurer really secured all of the In
dians for his cOnfederacy; and, until his
murder in Texas, and the subsequent
relocation and distribution of the allied
tribes, the Wabash country was without
inhabitants. The Starved Rock COM
munity, on the Illinois river, is feature
of Western history about which little is
known; indeed, so vague is the most
complete information in respect to its
origin and decline that it has not been
given the attention it merited sc the
hands of historians.
The men who came with or followed
La Sale into the Western territory were
all of them interesting characters, and
brave, good men, but La Sale, with his
originality, his optimism and ceaseless
energy, was in advance of the most of
them.

SECONDARY EFFECTS OF THE ELIXIR.

The Brown-Sequard elixir of life be-
ing undoubtedly the coming popular
craze, it becomes necessary to consider
the new discovery from all sides. If a
man of fifty can be made to feel as if he
were twenty by the injection of animal
substance into his veins, no doubt can
possibly exist that every man of fifty
will put himself into the surgeons hands
for rejuyenation. But if the operation
of this animal essenceis SO powerful as to
make the old young, may it not produce
other effects of different and less desira-
BILE character? When diluted lamb-fibre
pumped into his circulatory system causes
the elderly man to forget his staidness
and stiffness and inclines him to frisk
like the lamb, may it not be possible
that other qualities of the young sheep
have been also transmitted? Timidity,
stupidity, "sheepishness'' and the tend
ency to follow their leader blindly,
are traits that few men would seek to
encourage in themselves in these days,
when self-assurance and brazen effront-
cry are winning cards in the great game
of getting on in the world. To engraft
lamb-like qualities OH ruffian would,
of course, be beneficial in case any sur
geon SO far forgot his duty to the COM
munity as to undertake the rejuvenation
of man of this kind. But lambs are
not alone available as fountains of life
for decrepit humanity. Rabbits are
Id h., r.cIo 1
French scientist, and young pigs
and Guinea pigs are said to be
equally good. The youth and health
of the animal being the main cOnsidera-
tions to the doctors, there seems no
reason why they may not as we'll utilize
puppies, or kittens, or calves without
thinking of possible secondary cOnse-
quences. Society, as a whole, might,
perhaps, be improved by encouraging
the growth of lamblike dispositions, but
how about piggishness and the headlOng
stubbornness of the calfe And who
would care to incorporate feline traits
into his character, or the peculiarities of
the buIl-terrier, or-awful thOug ht!-the
rat-terrier? Even the rabbit, though it
be possessed of the astonishing shrewd-
ness ascribed to it by Uncle Remus, is
not likely to be admired as model by
men who want to be made over.
1t will be urged that the animal nature
cannot thus be transmitted, but will
any one say why not? If youth
can pass from the lamb to the
man, why not the rest? 1t is not
enough to say that because man
does not come to resemble the sheep
through eating mutton, or piggish
from indulgence in pork, that therefore
the theory of transmission fails. 1t has
never been held that roast lamb was
more rejuvenating to the diner than
beefsteak cut from mature "critter,"
but according to Brown-Sequard lamb
juice, sent into the veins direct, will
turn time backward in its flight from
twenty to thirty years. If it is so pow
erful in one particular, why may it not
be in anotheri AT all events, the point
is one worth attention from the man
about to be operated on. A wise choice
of the animal whose essence is to be in
corporated into his system may be of
the greatest Importance to his future
career

his liver were at peace. The liver re-
bellion, which has contributed so
much to human misery and placed
mankind at such an immense dis
advantage, did not begin till after the
fall. Why it should be permitted
to continue is as inexplicable as the ex-
istence of evil. No doubt it is for the
greatest good of the greatest number,
but its victims may be permitted to
wish that this great end might be at
tanned in some other way. Per aspera
al astra is an encouraging and elevat-
ing sentiment but persons who are
doomed to work out their salvation
through torpid liver would no doubt
prefer to reach the stars by
some other route, or even be
content with a lower level
and better lives. In this malarial CHI
mate, and especially in this malarial
weather, the torpid liver holds undis-
puted sway and scourges its victims
with unsparing hand. Nearly every
person one meets is its abject and miser-
able slave. Malaria in all its dreadful
types is the liver's favorite line of at
tack, and it invariably succeeds in max
ing man miserable if it has to fight it
out on that line all summer. If Doctors
Brown-Sequard and Hammond would
direct their scientific efforts to discover
ing something which would do away
with livers, or at least render mankind
independent of them, the modern world
would hail them as its greatest bene-
factors.

A TYPOGRAPHICAL error came near caus-
ing serious results in st. Louis few days
ago. Mr.. Frederick s. Brownell, of that
city, part owner of extensive car-works, is
also a gentleman of high character and
well and favorably known in church cir
cles. Therefore, when one of the city
papers announced that he had been granted
patent for faro-box attachment church
circles were shocked and business men
were amazed. st. Louis is not noted for
puritanism, and professional gambling
fourishes there in regular river fashion,
but the idea of one of the pillars of re-
spectacle society giving countenance to
the vice by inventing q farO-bOx
attachment was a little too much.
When Mr.. Brownen saw the item, he was
as angry as gentleman of his respectable
ity and Christian character could afford to
be, and in his wrath threatened to sue the
paper for libel. mo matter what useful

THE DAYS when to be an avowed Chris
tan was to be martyr passed by in the
civilized world long since, and it is a COM
mon remark that. SO far as public sentiment
is concerned, it is easier to be Christian
than a sinner. Young and ardent followers
of the Master have been heard to express
the wish that their faith might be tested by
persecution. These earnest souls may
modify their wish when they read of the
sufferngs of the Christians in Albania. To
desire 10 vie with the ancient saints and
martyrs is one thing; to put themselves In
the place of men and women who are
robbed. imprisoned and brutality abused to-
day. because of their religion. is likely to
be quite another and less-enticing thought.
Martyrdom is apt to be coveted only when
it is not one of the possibilities.

THIS is an off year in politics. There is
no national campaign and no State cam
paign of any special interest, but, oddly
enough. there is an amazing amount of pol
tiles in the newspapers. To read them.
especially those of the brand whose editors
assume to stand on a plane far above party,
it might be supposed that this was near the
close of a presidential year. These high
moral organs could not be more virulent or
nendacious in their remarks if the election
took place next week. The party papers
have great deal to say on the same sub
ject. but are willing to vary the theme.
Still, political topics win come to the front
and attract public attention to a curious
extent. If interest is kept up at this rate

years later will be something unprecedent-
ed. If-but the Journal taboos politics on

ALMOST every day records some new ap>,
plication of electricity as motor power.
One of the most recent is its use in elbow
ing the bellows" of church organs. This is
now done in several New York churches
with great success. The advantages of the
new motor over others are said to be many
and obvious. The small space that the
motor occupies, the evenness of it's blowing
the facility of its control in starting and
stopping. as we'll as in regulating, and the
little attention required, are the special ad-
vantages claimed for it over any otherpower
used for this purpose. 1t runs with prac-
tically no noise, is free from heat or odor,
gives no trouble from frost in the coolest
weather, and is always to be depended up
on to do what is asked of it. If an organ is
built for power, its attachment is the work
of q moment. If built to be run by hand it
can easily be transformed into one ready
for power. Henceforth the Organist can be
independent of his worst enemy, the human
blower. With an electric motor he seats
himself at his instrument. presses button
within reach of his hand, the motor re-
wolves, the bellows rise and fall, and the
organ, obedient to his touch, gives forth it's
music in praise of the works of man as well
as of God.
