The question is frequently asked
now that Mr.. Roosevelt has been ad
yanced to the Presidency, "Who will
be Vice Presidentf"
There will be no Vice President un.
til after the next Presidential election
Hon. William P. Frye, OF Maine
who is President pro tenn OF the Sen
ate, will preside over that body. Had
no choice of President pro tenn OF the
Senate been previously made by that
body, it would elect one at the next
meeting. The Senate can at any time
remove Mr.. Frye and fill his place as
President pro tenn. Mr.. Frye, however
is not in line of succession 10 the
Presidency OF the United States, al
though he will now perform the
principle duty that falls to a Vice
President when the President with
whom he is elected is still in Office
that of presiding over the Senate.
Now that the Vice President (Mr
Roosevelt) has been advanced to thu
Presidency, there is no Vice President
so.called, but in the case of Mr.. Roose
welt (now President) suffering death o.
inability, the succession to the Presi
dency goes through the Cabinet, be
ginning with the Secretary of State.

the price came down to 81 40, and even
at that it is about six times the price
usually asked for them. Little pick
ling will be done by the housekeeper
this fall, as all sorts of picking vege-
tables are too high for the average
family to buy"
Several boarding house keepers said
there is no money in their business
now, and the price of table board
would have to be raised if present
prices at the markets kept: up. The
proprietor OF st. Thomas hotel said he
was turning away many people every
day who wanted board ut old rates,
their landlords having raised the
price of table board. He said the
price in table board would 60 up all
around soon, although there has been
no concerted effort of boarding house
keepers in that direction.

parative cost of meals for family of

and the danger from cracked hoofs
sprained tendons and rheumatism has
decreased fully so per cent. among the
horses experimental with.
AS "a kind master is kind to his
horse" this consideration alone should
prove strong argument in favor of
the adoption of the rubber shoe.
Humanity likewise would be bene-
fitted by the change.
1t the clattering iron horseshoe
should disappear from the streets the
relief to suffering human nerves would
be almost incalculable.
Rubber on the hoofs of horses that
are driven over asphalt pavements
would serve much more humane and
useful purpose than it does in the
neck OF curious people, or on the feet
of sinuous politicians.

Rubhsr.Shod Horses .

A movement has been started in
some cities in favor of shoeing horses
with rubber instead of iron.
The Milwaukee Sentinel argues in
favor of the innovation and says: "If
the rubber shoe is what has been
claimed for it and there does not ap-
pear to be room for doubt on this head,
there is no coed reason why it should
not keep pace with the rubber tire in
popular favor. If the horse could talk
he would certainly enter n strong plea
in favor OF the innovation"
1t is claimed in Chicago, where the
rubber shoe has been widely intro.
duced, that the general condition of
horses feet has improved 80 per cent.

Bryan'B CommOner.

The million dollar salary voted to
Mr.. Schwab by the steel trust caused
numerous Republican editors to write
enthusiastic articles on the opportuni-
ties offered to young men by the great
corporations. The subject has now
been taken up by debating societies
and the school boys are investigating
the matter for themselves. That Mr..
Schwab's rise TO fame and fortune has
been rapid there is no doubt, neither is
there any doubt that his present posi-
ton is attractive 10 many, but the
very fact that his case has attracted so
much attention is conclusive proof
that it is extraordinary. He has won
the capital prize in the industrial lot
tesy, but where q system of monopoly
offers such an opportunity to one man
it closes the door Of opportunity to
Thousands of others equally able and
deserving.
When all the great industries are
controlled by trusts, there will be a
few big salaried officials and the re-
mainder of the employees will be con-
dcmned to perpetual clerkships with
no possibility of independence in the
business world.
II the present tendency toward con-
solidation becomes permanent it is
only question OF time when the prin-
cipal positions in the corporations will

scend from generation to generation.
Competition puts premium on

How to Treat Spralns.

Few people know how to treat
sprains. and yet sprains are among the
most common of minor accidents.
Put the limb at once in hot water un-
til the pain and Inflammation have
somewhat subsidized, then bandage
snugly and keep in an elevated posi-.
ton when possible. Vinegar and wa
ter, alcohol and water, with.hazel and
water, or arnica make good lotions
during the inflammatory stage. When
the pain is.all out, little rubbing and
passive exercise are good, and in two
or three days plaster OF paris band
age may be applied, and when the
ankle is affected, the person may get
around with cane. By this treat
mcnt rapid cure results.

BREAKFAST.

Figuring on the basis of articles nee.
essary to feed six persons with healthy
appetites, and on the prices given by
produce dealers and meat men, the
difference in the price of living is
found to be 81 for the three daily
meals, or, figuring down still further,
the increase in the cost of feeding one
person three meals is 16a cents.

THE VALUE OF POKER,
How Walter Q. Gresham Got His First Fed
eral Appointment.

How Walter Q. Gresham Got His First Fed
sral Appointment.
Poker not only has won fortunes,
but positions as we'll. Many a man
owes his success in business to his
character as read by an opponent in a
game of draw. There is a banker in
New York City who acknowledges
that poker made him. When a young
man he had the good fortune to sit in
a game with three railroad officials
and a rich merchant, being invited
merely to make a fifth hand, as the
four did not care to cut each others
throats." On his account the limit
was made small. So we'll did he play
his hand that he gained the respect,
admiration and friendship of the old
merchant, who forthwith became his
patron. With such assistance his
road to fortune was easy.
Three Presidents OF the United
States had strong liking for Walter
Q. Gresham, because he was the best
poker player of their acquaintance.
When Indiana demanded the appoint.
ment of United States district Judge,
in 1869, Senator Morton appealed to
General Grant in behalf of a man
whom he desired to have the Office.
Grant asked: "What has become OF
young Gresham, who was Colonel OF
the Fifty-third Indiana, as I remem.
Der him? He was with ME at Vicks.
burg" "Oh, he is practicing law in
Indianapolis" said Morton, indiffer-
ontly, "Well," continued the Presi.
dent, II used to play poker with him
in the war, and took quite liking to
him. He was a mighty good, cool
poker player, and believe he will
make a good judge. So if you don't
care I'll appoint him to that place. u
Thus Gresham got his first federal ap-
pointment.
Gresham's good play, as we'll as his
brilliant craftsmanship, made him a
big man in the estimation of Arthur
and Cleveland. The former appointed
him to no less than three Offices
Postmaster General, Secretary of the
Treasury and District Judge. Cleve-
land made him Secretary of State,
notwithstanding his former stout
Republicanism. Arthur disliked to
appoint him District Judge, as it took
him away from Washington and-the
White House gatherings.
"AND have you seen your little
baby brother YETI" inquired the
caller.
"Yes," replied little Ethel Blue
gore, "and was so disappointed in
it,"
"Why?"
because it doesn't look bit more
stylish than the one our washerwo-
mans got"

LET REASON PREVAIL.
Yakima Democrat.

Unless the Tacoma Socialists are
but Anarchists in disguise there is no
justifiable excuse for the action OF the
so called Loyal League of Tacoma in
the breaking up OF public meeting
in that city recently. There seems to
be good deal of ignorance prevailing
in the public mind as to the real dis.
tinction between socialism and anar-
chy. The confession of faith of the
two organizations as matter of fact
places them as far apart as the poles.
The true Socialist must necessarily be
great believer in the virtue of law
and that the proper administration Of
it will cure the most of ills that hu-
man flesh is heir to. He must neces-
sarily believe too that the fraternity
among men required TO make his
happy ideas of government work out
in practice can be secured only
through peaceful means. The Social
ist, in short, wants all the law he can
get, not that he needs it so much for
his own guidance, but rather to pre-.
vent his neighbor from cheating him.
On the other hand the Anarchist
avows that lie wants no law over him
at all. He wants to have the privilege
guaranteed him of wearing nothing
but a figleaf if he thinks proper and
OF wooing other mems wives if he
wants to. He affects to believe that
the world is organized on an entirely
wrong basis and that the only feasible
plan of setting it right is to com.
mence at once to create business for
the uudertakers. Unlike the Socialist
he thinks life is too short to attempt
to upset representative or monarchi-
al form of government by the force of
argument. He asserts - and with
some truth-that thousands OF fools
are born every minute, and admits the
impossibility Of winning a majority of
the people to his way OF thinking.
The Anarchist is a reactionist instead
OF progressiOnist, although, of
course, the creature won't acknowledge
the corn. His theories, put in prac-
tice and carried to a logical conclu-
sion, could not fail to put the world
back into the darkness OF savagery
from which it has cost thousands OF
years OF hard and unremitting effort
to escape. The world may be mass
Of imperfections as at present organ
lied. but anarchy, if in vogue, could
only have the effect OF making it very
much worse. In fact, it can safely be
asserted that an Anarchist is either an
ignoramus, demagogue or a fool.
The Socialist, on the contrary, while
his theory OF government may be
Utopian and impracticable, has never
theless in mind plan which he be-
lieves is calculated, il tried, to ad-
vance the world and purify and en-
noble humanity. There is at least
merit enough in his proposition, when
honestly presented, to entitle him to a
fair hearing. If this was the object at
Tacoma, the gang that broke up their
meeting are guilty of gross violation
OF the right OF free speech, and accord
ingly owe the public an apology.

Last Monday morning. John Robb
completed five weeks treatment at the
New York Sanitarium and Gold Cure for
the morphine and liquor habits, and a
happier man cannot be found in days
journey. He looks years younger than
when he went to the institution, walks
upright and sprightly, n picture of health
where before was wreck of physical
manhood.
A representative of The True North
erner had a conversation with Mr.. Robb,
and from the talk gathered the following
| facts:
Thirty-six years ago, i'm a military hos
pital at Louisville, KY, John Robb was
given morphine while he was undergoing
treatment for a painful gunshot wound
in the leg. From that day until he was
induced to take the gold cure, he had
been victim OF the awful and growing
habit Of the use of morphine, until 20 to
30 grains of the drug per day were re-
quired to satisfy his appetite. For less
number of years, he had also been user
of intoxicating liquors to excess.
| Truly, an institution that can cure
such an unfortunate case as that is doing
great work for humanity!
81 am through with it ALL" said Mr..
Robb, land | did not know until the
doctor told me that he was giving me no
more morphine. | feel no desire for it,
neither for liquor. The sun now rises
bright for me in the morning and get
up vigorous and well, with an appetite
for breakfast instead of a craving for
morphine and drink. feel young again,
and can go out and attend to business
once more. | did not believe that, after
gratifying the horrible appetite for the
drug for more than third of century,
the desire for it could be taken from me-
but it is gone. / would not be back
where was five weeks ago for the world"
"Would you recommend the treat
ment and the Paw Paw institution to
victims of the morphine habit?" was
asked
Most certainly | would" was the re-
ply 81 feel not the slightest i'll effect in
any way from the treatment The man
agement has treated me courteously and
made it as pleasant as possible for me in
every way. | believe any case of the kind
can be cured here, and | wish | might
induce every user of morphine or liquor
or both to try it. The cure has made
new man of me-"
The True Northernor takes pleasure
in publishing the above, and we hope the
testimony of Mr.. Robb may induce others
to avail themselves of the relief that is
within their reach Remember, the New
York Sanitarium and Gold Cure of Paw
Paw guarantees cure for the morphine,
liquor and tobacco habits, and is the
only guaranteed cure in the state. Not
one of the cases treated at this institu-
ton since it's location in Paw Paw has
resulted In anything except per-
feet cure, and not one has relapsed.
The managers are courteous gen
tlemen, who do exactly as they
agree.
In conclusion, Mr.. Robb said he
wished to thank the people of Paw
Paw who assisted him in raising
money to take the treatment, and ex-
pressed lively appreciation of the help.
