ROYAL
Baking Powder

The strongest, purest, most efficient ana
wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical; indisPens-
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food.
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to cat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, un-
healthful articles of food' There is no
economy in them; they endanger the health,
they may cost life There are reported
almost daily cases Of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.

GRosvFNoR's ESTIMATE.

General Grosvenor's first estimate of
Tire result of the coming national cleo
ton is at hand and is noteworthy on
account of the repute the veteran Ohio
statesman enjoys for the accuracy of
his political forecasts. 1t will be re-
membered that in 1896 he foretold with
nearly sure precision what States would
support Mckinley in convention Later
on he made almost as good guesses
about the States that would be carried
by the Republican nominee, his only
fault being that he underestimate the
size OF the triumph. He now figures
that Mckinley will have 200 electoral
votes to Bryan's ia. He comedies
Maryland and Kentucky to BRYAN.
classes Kansas as doubtful and is not
without hope that Nebraska may go
Republican. Gen. Grosvenor does not
entertain the least fear for Indiana or
New York. Whatever his sources of in
formation may be he is probably very
close to the truth.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

! One of the defects in the Federal Con-
stitution is it's failure to endow the
Vice-Presidency with responsible duties
so as to make it an object of ambition
to first-class men. About all Vice
President has to do now is to wait for
a funeral. He is expected, 1t Is true,
to preside over the deliberations of the
Senate: but his post is SO much in
ferior in power and influence to the
speakership of the House that no man
in whom self respect is sensitive really
enjoys it. The presiding officer of the
Senate has nothing to do with making
the rules of that body and the Senate.
by electing president pro tenn, who Is
usually more expert than the Vice
President in parliamentary usages and
in legislative customs quite plainly
hints that the less it sees of
the President in the chair the bet
ter it will be satisfied. AS a result first
class men avoid the second place in the
government and because of that men
who would never have been thought of
for the Presidency now and then sue
coed to it. If his chief had died in office
the United States might have suffered
under the magistracy of Aaron Burr;
it did have the misfortune to get. as
successor to Abraham Lincoln, drunk
en- .cobbler from Tennessee, who be-
trayed his party and disgraced his
country before his administration was
half over.
In an ideal government the Vice
President would be as fit as. in we'll
regulated monarchies, the heir-appar-
ent is fit, to become the chief Of State.
But in our own system, men like ALI
son and Roosevelt refuse Vice-Presi-
Dental nomination with scorn and only
men of the calibre of Tim Woodruff
and Charley Towne seek it. Who wants
Tim" Woodruff or Charley Towne for
President in case the elected incumbent
should die?
The remedy for this state of things,
as it seems to us, is to make the Vice.
President a member of the Cabinet or
a Senator-at-large; to give him dig
niffed salary and an official residence
and irfluerce in the matter of patron
age. II that were done even an Allison
might not look upon the Vice-Presi-
dental office with an inauspicious eye

Many important archaeological finds
