OUR DAILY WEIGHT.
A Man May Gain a. Much as Three
Pounds and Six Ounces
in One Day.


These are the days of "penny in the
SLOT" and possibly everyone weighs
very frequently for his own amuse-
ment. Even if the machines are not
very accurate, the probability is that If
you weigh regularly on the same ma
chine you can see correctly whether
you increase or diminish in weight. We
are not concerned here with the
steady increase or diminution in weight
at various times of the year or before
and after an illness, but want to draw
attention to the fact that in health we
vary in weight from hour to hour, and
that this does not seem to be recog-
nized. 1t is strange to see what alb
surd fallacies occupy the popular mind.
Apropos of the subject of this paper, IL
has been seriously asserted by many
people that you are naturally lighter
after meal, and they have even gone
the length of explaining this by the
amount of gas that is developed from
the food. These people must be very
uncomfortable after meals! Tt reminds
one rather of the famous fallacy said to
have been submitted to the Royal So
ciety, asking why fish could be put
into basin brimful of water without
making it run over. When it was tried
at some ones suggestion, the water, of
course, did run over.
Supposing we want to find whether
we do really vary in weight or not
there are two ways to set about the
inquiry. We can either sit in weigh.
Ing machine and live there which
does not commend itself to most of us
-or we can weigh ourselves at regu.
lar times during the day, which is
more feasible. Now common sense
points out that we must vary in
weight according to the amount of
food we take in and the amount of
material that we lose. In the follow.
ing chart the observations are ar.
ranged in such way as, / think, will
make them clear. Statistics are al-
ways painful, unless the writer has
the wonderful power of Mr.. Schooling,
who certainly can make statistics at.
tractive. But perhaps the most con-
senient method is to look at the sum.

night and morning; that we gain one

On an average of one pound; that we
again lose during the afternoon an av-

nary dinner to healthy persons adds
two pounds two ounces to their
weight. What would be the result of
a big dinner? It is easier to imagine

In these columns our readers will
find the democratic money plank adop-
ted by the Kansas City convention,
OF course nominating Bryan is equiva,
lent to declaring for free silver, but
not content with that, by way of EN-
phasis, they adopted the position OF SO,
a position repudiated by the people
four years ago and since shown to be
untenable by the progress of events
Our people want no such tinkering
with our money system as that plank
promises il the democrats succeed.
The money we now have is good as
gold and we have more of it than ever
before.

Adlai E. Stevenson is rather an in,
offensive and pleasant old man and
never did anything to entitle him tc
much distinction except that during
Cleveland's first term he was fourth a.
sistant postmaster general and was sc
partisan as to cut off the official heads Of
as many republican postmasters as pos
sible. He made big record for activity
in that line and secured the gratitude
of hundreds of democrats who became
postmasters over this country. While
rather favoring the gold standard he
lacked the courage to make stand fol

Senator Gear Dead.

Last Saturday morning Senator
John II. Gear died at his rooms at
Washington, of heart trouble. Al
though it was known that his health
was not vigorous, yet his sudden death
came as shock to Iowa people.
Senator Gears career in Iowa affairs
entities him to a position with her
foremost men. Kirkwood may have
had more rndisputed leadership for
awhile, Allison may have been a
scource of greater pride to the State
because of his national leadership, but
no man in Iowa ever had more sincere
friends that John Henry Gear. He
obtained the peculiarly strong place in
Iowa affairs by his merits. His plain
ness, commences, bluntness, honesty,
integrity, common sense, executive
ability, persistency in whatever he un-
dertook, constancy to his friends,
willingness and desire to be of honest
service to his friends, these were some
of the qualities that fastened him to
Iowa people as with hooks of steel.
When Gear said thing was so Iowa
people believed it was so. They had
faith in him, and with cause.
Industrious business man, mayor of
Burlington, member of the Legislature,
speaker of the Iowa house, governor,
member of congress, assistant secretary
of the treasury, United States senator,
in whichever position he served he met
all requirements not with brilliancy
but with good judgment, energy and
integrity. His reelection to the senate
last winter when it was known that
his health was not rugged was
a great tribute to him. The republi-
cans of the state were glad to reward
him for past services by allowing him
to remain q senator. They remembered
his, devotion to his friends and his party.
They remembered that although he
may have differed from the majority of
his party in the state on some questions,
yet his loyal support of the party never
waivered hairs breadth. He never
yielded his opinions on greater issues
because he differed on minor ques-
ton.
His death will precipitate the sena-
torial controversy again into state
affairs. Upon Governor Shaw devolves
the responsibility of appointing a
senator to serve until the legislature
meets. There is much speculation as to
what Shaw will do. All acknowledge
that he would be a formidable candi-
date himself were the legislature in
session, and should he desire to enter
the race. The Governor, not having
been in sympathy with Mr.. Cummins'
candidacy, will not likely appoint him.
Congressman Dolliver, Congressman
Lacey and ex-Congressman Perkins
are possible appointees. Either one
would be able and creditable to the
party and the state.

A great orator isn't always a safe
man to follow. Oratory and states
manshpi, although sometimes, yet are
not very often found united in one
person. The qualities that make a
great orator are not drawn on very
much in making up great statesman.
A statesman has very comprehensive
mind. He knows something of every
field of knowledge, and systems of.gov-
eminent are to him familiar subjects.
He is above all careful student, capa-
BILE of penetrating through effect to
cause. His judgment and not his emo
tions guide him. Facts and not poetic
fancies form the base of his opinions
Sentiment and emotion with him are
secondary and subordinate to analsysis
and reason. Webster Davis is not a
statesman, but he is great orator.
His reasons for leaving the republican
party, that the administration didn't
interfere in foreign conflict and help
the Beers, show that he was guided by
emotion rather than reason, while
swallowing free silver, free trade, pop
ulism and Organism, issues which ''he
had heretofore opposed, shows lack
of either principle or reason. They
are neither insignificant issues nor
issues upon which one would change
his mind because he didn't agree with
the administration on the Boer ques-
ton. Measured by any test Davis
makes a graceless figure.

Word from China as to the fate of
our country's minister at Pekin, Hon.
e. II, Conger, and his family, together
with that of the ministers of England,
Russia, France, Japan and tie other
powers, is very conflicting. For days
the belief will prevail that they are all
dead, and even some details as to the
last stand and their death will come,
then report will come that they may
yet be alive. If it is true that they are
dead il will be one of the most tragic
events in modern history, and one of
the most important ones, for the
Chinese empire will scarcely be allowed
to exist longer if it can't protect the
lives of officials of friendly foreign
powers. If the report that they are
dead is not true there will be great
rejoicing in this country. Mr.. Conger
who formerly represented the Seventh
Iowa district in congress, is popular in
the state. If he returns unframed he
will have the pleasure of reading some
nice obituaries of himself and will be q
great hero in this country. But hope
for their safe return has nearly gone.

To our friend across the street who
ever and anon breaks out with calamity
wall, we beg to refer the statement
from the Des Moinea Leader that the
increase in the value of personal prop
erty in Iowa during the past year has
been $50, 100000. Some men are so
blind to facts, if they seem to conflict
with their pet theories, that they shut
their eyes and declare there is no light.

That 16 to failed to get its former
position of top-of-column. next-to-read-
ing -matter-on-both-sides in the demo-
cratic platform is no sign that it is not
a paramount issue with democracy this
year. With its reiteration in the plat

ticket and with Jones and Stone and
Walsh running the campaign as before,
democratic success this year means as
quick a subversion Of our financial
system as the processes of Legislation
will allow.

We well remember that when the

ten years ago and small import duty
was put on tin plate that the free trad

amount to much here. Here is the

sip That Comes From AtIanta-du-

State Convention on Account of
His HeaIth-There VIII BE "A Con-
test Over State Chairmnnship.
Atlanta, May 12.-The talk of Seaton
Grantland and Roland Ellis opposing
Clark Howell for president of the Senate
has given place TO some state political
gossip of interest to South Georgia.
This is to the effect that Vice Chairman
L. T, Brown of the State Executive Com
mittee and Hon. Peter Meldrim of Sa-
vannah will lock horns for the chairman
ship of the Democratic State Convention
on June 16.
Chairman duBignon is regarded as a
very sick man, and many Of his closest
political friends and his physician have
recommended complete rest from his
labors. A trip to Europe has been ad-
vised, and it is said that Mr.. duBignon
will go to Carlsbad, Germany. This
means, of course that he will not be pres
ent at the State Convention, and, of course
abe political seers think there Is a pretty
contest ahead for his successor.
Vice Chairman Brown would naturally
be in order, but it is limited that the anti
duBignon faction will put Maj. Meldrim
forward. This Is the talk on the tapls
here, and after all, the Savannah fight
may determine the head of the party for
the next two years.

Atlanta, May 12-The election called by
the Macon authorities to vote on annexing
certain territory under the act of 1919,
creating a new charter for Macon, will
not be held, as the Supreme Court to-day
sustained the Judgment of Judge FELTON,
in granting an injunction against the cleo
tion.
Certain property owners living in the
territory sought to be annexed filed Pc
tition before Judge FELTON, praying that
the city be enjoined from holding the
election. Judge FELTON, granted this in
Junction, and the case was brought to the
Supreme Court.
The first time that the Supreme Court
has awarded damages for delay only in
q damage case against a railroad, occurr-
ed to-day. The case came up from the
City Court of Rome. Hopper sued tho
Southern Railway for $4,000 damages for
personal injuries. He got a verdict for
500. The Supreme Court, all concurring,
affirmed The judgment of the lower court,
and also ordered that 10 per cent. on the
principal ana interest of the Judgment
rendered in the trial be awarded against
the Southern for bringing this case to the
Supreme Court. for delay only.
