INEBRIETY..A DISEASE

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon diseased
condition of the nervous system. The
victim of the disease again and again
puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-
form, but his disease is too absolutely
overpowering to be conquered by reso-
lutions. The will-power he would ex-
ercise if he could is no longer supreme.
Alcoholic stimulants have so congested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-
spond to the performance of their func-
tional duties, and the helplessness Of the
victims condition is as inexplicable to
himself as it seems inexcusable to his
friends. The Kelley treatment cures
this disease by restoring the nerves to

GEMS UF HISTORY FROM THE

Merely through a sense of duty and
with no thought of irritating old sores,
we propose to quote few gems Of his
tOrical statement from the New York
Suns account of the ceremonies on 1he
east front of the capitol last Tuesday.
SO many thousands of Washington peO-
pie were present and so deep an ;nte!est
was taken by them in the proceedings,
we feel they are entitled to a glimpse
at the remarkable chronicle of the Occa.
sion published Wednesday morning III
the New York Sun. Our people know
the facts, for they made thcm Ihey
will he interested, though perhaps not
pleasantly, in the Suns extraordinary
version OF the incident. Here is a sam
pie gem:
There was not a cheer until Rear
Admiral Sampson appeared. lie was
escorted by Rear Admiral Crownln-
shield, Chief of the Bureau of Navi-
CATION, and was followed by the mem,
bers of his staff and other naval Off
GERS. His appearance was greeted by
hand-clapping, which rose into a bis
cheer as he came down the stems. Adj
miral Schley, also in uniform, and other
well-knOwn officers of both the army anu
navy took their seats without causing
any demonstration, not even murmur
Among these were Maj. Cen Breckin-
ridge, Brig. Gen. Ruggles, (retiredJ, and
Rear Admirals O'Neil, Van Reyoen. and
bradford. The next cheer was for GOV.
Smith, of Vermont He walked ahead Of
his staff, and acknowledged the applause
of the crowd by bowling"
What really happened whca Admiral
Simpson appeared upon the stand has
been truthfully described in The Post.
as follows:

incapable of such an outrage upon fact
and history.
We have MO hidden motive in calling
attention to this stupid Justification. 30
far as we are concerned, the ml'Gtlllde
might have cheered Sampson to the echo
with our entire sympathy. 1t was his
misfortune, just as 1T was the m'sfor-
tune of Capts. IIigginson and Folg"r'

very gratifying response OF che mar

leaves the counties to select the ahIest
preference for a Senator. Instead of
electing a man to the Legislature to vnte
for Mr.. W., or Mr.. s., or Mr.. j., or Mr..
G.. for Senator, a legislator lis then chosen
because he will legislate for the hest
interests of the people. However strong
a man is for q certain man for Sena-
tor, he does not relish the idea of being
elected solely because of his advocacy
of any man. He prefers to be elected
because of his fitness to legislate. The
primary will result in a better class of
legislators. and will secure as Senator
the man whom the people want That
is a consummation devoutly to be
wished.
The chief reason why we favor a pri-
mary, to be held after the August
election, in addition to the desire TO
have the Senator elected by a popular
vote, is that it eliminates the Sena-
torial question from the August cleo
ton, and unites the party upon the
Constitutional Amendment and the State
election If a Legislature is chosen then
that will have nothing to do with elect
ing a Senator except registering the
popular will, there viii be little dissen-
sion in the party. All the aspirants for
Senatorial honors Will labor with might
and main to- secure Democratic sue
cess, leaving their candidacy in abey-
ance until success has come to the party.
Then the people in primary can
choose the Senator, and can give due
consideration without party injury to
the claims of all the candidates.
