The conference of experts on the
seal question, and that other pro-
posed conference among representatives
Of Russia, Great Britain and the United
States, are two more testimonials to
the absurdity and uselessness Of this
whole seal business. The seals are Of
no benefit to the people, except as food
for northern Indians Common people
are not able to wear sealskins because
of their cost, and when the animals are
caught only for their skins the carcass
is wholly wasted

The Indians in the Indian Territory,
more especially the Creeks, ChOctaws
and Chickasaws, have trouble in reach
ing a conclusion to treat for suren-

rights under treaties with the United
States entered into many years ago. But
fate is against them They will have to
yield sooner or later.

The Burlington Hawkeye has un-
earthed the following queer post
Office report;

cast aside in the rubbish heap but I'll tel
you little story tp show that so Ions
as the paper exists and tho type on it car
be read it's advertising power remains. .
g There walked into my Office three
weeks ago a woman who was afflicted
with the ills that sIseure and who want
ed to take course of treatment. She
came from away UP in Erie county and
said she was prepared TO stay here in
town and give my skill a full opportu-
nifty to demonstrate itself. Needless to
say, cured her, got $3.50 of her good
money and sent her nome rejoicing, but
that is another story.
II asked this woman, as I ask all my
patients, how she had happened to come
to me. She said she had read one of my
advertisements. I asked her in what
publication. She said she did not know.
Her husband, she said, was in the employ
of carpet house, his business being fit
ting and putting down carpets. He was
taking up an old carpet in Buffalo
home in order to replace it with a new
one. Under the old carpet there was a
layer of newspapers which he gathered
up and cast aside.
"He happened to glance at one and
his eye fell ON the name Of the disease
from which his wife suffered. He read
the advertisement, which was mine,
tore the piece from the paper, put it in
his pocket and took it home for his wife
to read. She had it in her pocket-book
and gave it to me.
6" 1t was old and yellow and there was
nothing on it to tell from what news
paper it had been torn. But it Demon
strates that you never can tell when an
advertisement is dead.''

No two authorities vet agree as to the

for president at the November election,
| The Tribune Almanac makes McKin-
ley's total z, 105, 729, and the aggregate
for Bryan and Sewall and Bryan and
Watson 6,49l,977, says the New York
Post The HERALD publishes figures
from the various secretaries of state
which make the respective totals 1921, ,342
and 6,502,600. Only 12 of the IS states
had a Bryan and Watson ticket, and in
only Of these 13 dfdi It secure any
considerable part of the anti-McKinley
strength Massachusetts, where there
were 90,530 SewalI votes land 15,181 for
Watson; Alabama, 107137 sewall, and
"a, ,0S9 Watson; and Texas, where the
"middle-of- the-rcad' men polled 1926
for Watson as Bryan's associate, against
284, ,298 for Bryan and Sewall. In all, the
Herald" figures UP 144,92S votes for the
Watson ticket, 123,42S for the regular
Prohibitionist candidate, 1885 for the
National party started by a faction of
Prohibitionists, and 35soS for the Social
Labor ticket.
The plurality for Mckinley over Bry-
ans total on his two tickets is 18,742.
In comparing the last election with pre-
vious ones, however, the fact should not
be overlooked that women voted for pre-
sident in November for the first time in
both Colorado and Utah, and contribut-
ed nearly half of the 134,990 plurality for
Bryan in olorado and 0,9s6 in Utah, tho
excess of the males in each state being
slight. On the basis of previous contests
therefore, McKinley's plurality would be
about 100000. This is not so much as
was claimed by Republicans Immediately
after the election, but it is really more
impressive than the larger plurality of
763,O ,OO7 for Grant over Greeley in 1872.
In. that year the Republicans still con-
trolled the count in most OF the South
, ern states, and gave Grant such majori-
ties as $4,000 in South Carolina and 35,-
900 in Mississippi. In tho great Northern
states between the Hudson River and the
Mississippi Bryan as q rule was beaten
far more badly than Greeley-by S,325
in New York, for example, as against
SO, ,455 in 1872; 2e5,o72. in Pennsylvania,
as compared with 137,b4s;;E514 ,517 in Illi-
nois, against 1880. Indiana and Michi-
gan are the only states sinsallthis section
which fell behind the rednfh of 1872. The
conclusions drawn on the abuve are from
partisan sources but The figures are no
doubt tolerably correct.

A SOCIALIST LEADER.
The Irrepressible Herr Bebel Again q
Candidate For the Reichstag.

The Irrepressible Herr Bebel Again q
Candidate For the Reichstag.
The news that Herr Bebel, the famous
German Socialist has been nominated for
the reichstag in Hamburg is of interna-
tional interest, for he is sure to add plenty
of life to German politics even If he does
not accomplish something more serious.
With Herr Bebel in the reichstag the ses-
sions of that body are certain to be far
from monotonous
Ferdinand August Bebel is now in his
fifty y-eighth year and is probably at the
zenith Of his career for he is virtually the
leader of the German Socialists He en-
tered political life 80 years ago and was a
member of the first reichstag of the Ger
man empire in 1871, afliiating with the
Socialists almost from the first. His abil-
ity as an organizer brought him to the
front even more prominently than his tai
ent as q debater, although he is the most
eloquent Of the German parliamentary
leaders.
Political life in Germany Is a most un-
quiet existence for Socialists, and Herr
Bebel's career has been particularly tur-
bulent. In 1869 he was sent to prison for
three weeks ON a charge Of propagating
doctrines dangerous to the state. In 1879
he was condemned to two years imprison-
ment on a charge Of high treason, having
protested against Bismarckism and the
annexation of e-LoTaine. Since then
he has been frequently imprisoned for loze
majesty and between 1878 and 1890, when

A CITIZEN DISCUSSES.
One of the Vital Questions of the
Day Fraught With Interest to
Canton People.

If there is anything in local indorsa-

there is anything more convincing in the
opinions held by people we know, than
those entertained by utter strangers,
then Canton citizens have the golden

points when they read the views and
