 HSN can but faintly be con- n jured up in the imagina-
 ton of the tenderfoot who has never passed through the ordeal of campaign. The loss of nerv- ous energy and the wear and tear of the entire human system are such that few men who have made a vigorous fight for public office have ever fully recovered from the effects of the strain that was put upon them in the struggle for political supremacy
 Some years ago an inc pendent can didate for Sheriff in this city suffered complete mental collapse in the excite ment of the campaign and ended his career in lunatic asylum An aspirant for the honor and perquisites that are popularly supposed to be associated with the office of Supervisor died with Tn a month fter his election and his death was the result of the weakening or his system by too vigorous cam paigning. The illness of Judge-elect Treadwell shortly after the returns were counted and the recent death of Judge Borden can be [: -oed directly to the ravages wrought by incessant vote seeking and the ills that are heir to that nerve-taxlng diversion. And these are 'ew of the many instances of the dangers that beset the path of the oface-seeker and that receive but mo- mentary notice from the public
 The large majority of citizens who are content to exercise the elective franchise and let the oth fellows run the government know not how dearly bought are the jobs at the City Hall. It is only the eX-candidate, who has had the experience, who can sympa- thize with the ambitious political f1edg- ling who is trying his hand at the game. And many are the candidates who. having hied themselves to the springs after the fray for the purpose of re- cuperating and incidentally to escane the importunate job-chasers, have fer vently wished they had curbed their ambition.
 If political office is the goal of your ambition pause for a moment while an effort is made to dissuade you from the. pursuit of what frequently proves to be but fascinating phantom Ac- quaint yourself with a candidates itinerary and take a passing glance at 8 series of views of the unfortunate as he plods his weary way along during the thirty days breeding election, be- fore you leap into the forefront of Do- litical battle. Consider well whether the glory and salary to be obtained are ade- quate compensation. Perhaps if all men were familiar with the sort of campaigning that must be indulged in by the up-to-date candidate the pur- suit of happiness would impel fewer to take the path that leads to political preferment
 No longer can a candidate be con- tent with the formal introduction of himself to the voters through the me- dium of public meetings. Oratorical ap- peals to the masses count for little against the influence of personal solici- tation when combined with steam beer.

DEMOCRATIC LEADER OF THE

VIII Mr.. Bailey be the leader of the
Democrats in the next House? That is a
question which is receiving a good deal
of attention just now. For some reason or
other Mr.. Bailey is not popular with many
Of the Democratic members Of the present
House. and the opinion appears 20 prevail
that he viii be not any more popular
with the Democratic members of the
next House He is a man of ability, but
he does not seem TO be wholly acceptable
as leader. At the last session, members
of his own side of the House did not give
his leadership the hearty recognition it
should have had in order to be successful.
Stih he has a considerable following and
viii undoubtedly try for the position
again.
Besides Mr.. Bailey there are two other
candidates for the position. They are Mr..
D. A. DeArmond Of Missouri. and Mr..
John H. Bankhead of Alabama. Both
have a following and both have made con-
siderable reputation in Congress. Mr..
Bankhead, however appears TO have the
qualities Of leadership in a much greater

is said Of him that in political matters he
seldom makes a mistake
It is important that the Democratic lead
er in the next House should be a man Of
good judgment Questions will come be-
fore that Congress which will have great
influence in determining the political com
pleXion of the next national administra-
ton. 1t is said that one of the reasons of
the hostility TO Mr. Bailey, is the fact that
he was among the first TO take a position
against the policy of expansion. The
statement cannot be entirely correct The
hostility to Mr.. Bailey existed before the
question of annexng outlying territory
came up for consideration. Besides, the
Democratic party has not yet taken a
position on the question of the advisability
of acquiring the West India Islands and
the Philippines. If Mr.. Bailey is beaten
it will be because he lacks, in the opinion
of his Democratic associates, some of the
qualities essential to successful leadership

A farmer of orangeburg county, South
Carolina, this year devoted an acre of his
cotton land to sugar cane, from which
he made syrup. He has recently completed
his harvest, with the result that he has
500 gallons of excellent syrup from the
one acre. Should he sell his syrup for %
cents gallon-a low price for a fair arti-
cie-he would have $l25 from his acre of
cane. He could not possibly have pro
nuced $l25 worth of cotton on the land,
or on twice the amount of land.
