picture for moment conditions that
would land Mr.. Bryan in the Presi.
dental chair, and he must recog-
nize the truth of this himself. Let
rs hope that our erstwhile leader
mas become wise through adversely,
and that while he will not only
peremptorily refuse to be considered
as presidential possibility, he will
not pass into the category of sore
head and common scold. To do
this will prove that his ambition has
not been a patriotic one, but very
selfish one. Whether he has done
the Democratic party harm in the
past or not is an open question. Ger
tain it is, however, Tat he has a
great many blind adherents to-day,
and they unwisely counsel him to
refuse to give his sanction to the
candidacy of any man who does not
stand on his platform. Rule or ruin
should not be the policy of any man
who has been so highly honored. 1t
is hardly the part of consistency to
refuse a nomination yet demand
that the party candidate shall be Of
fered as a sacrifice on the altar which
he himself shuns. We do not doubt
for a moment that if Mr.. Bryan
thought he could be elected he
would be a candidate. Yet no easier
would be the election of any man
who stood on the same platform.
Pure patriotism would prompt him
not to handicap the party by any
defeated "isms," but to turn in and
help elect any man named by the
Democracy, no matter what the plat
form, provided it be an honest and
upright one.

The two great Departmen,. Of q,

The two great Departments of GU
government which control the Arm,
and Navy naturally require, more thar
any other Departments, to be manage,
oy men who have had long and success

war and national defense the study o
their lives.

Our contemporary surely was not
serious in putting its query, since the
Free Lance is we'll aware of the
custom that our great Republic
follows in bestowing its fat political
Jobs. 1t is a lawyers education, or
rather part of his pursuit, to enter
into politics. AS a political leader
lie secures political pull. For
some years our Governments Ad-
mihlstrations have recognized a po-
litical pull as deserving of political
honors and fat emoluments. John
Smith, who has pulled the wires at
the convention, and who knows
more about shindig or real estate
cinches than he does of diplomacy,
is given fat job as ambassador or
minister to some great foreign coun-
try. 1t is cup to him" to execute a
treaty that will be creditable to his
own Government. He runs against
trained diplomats, who hold their
positions by the merit system and by
virtue of having been brought up in
colonial affairs almost from the
cradle. This Government necessarily
loses in the deal. But it is next to
nigh treason for us to complain or
question the wisdom in selecting
such benefactors to the nation.

NUMBERED WITH
One Of the Sweetest OF Marvin Grove
Meetings Closed in Big Revival.


Few of those who attended dur
ing the first part of last week were
lmbued with the hope that the
twenty-fifth annual encampment of
old Marvin Grove would end in a
spiritual revival that has been sell
dom eclipsed throughout this sec
ton; but 1t was so, nevertheless.
The attendance and interest mani
tested during the weekdays was a
little III advance of that displayed at
the past two encampments, aud some
few of the faithful felt that great
good would yet manifest itself before
the gavel of time should sound out
another annual encampment. DIR.
John Harmon arrived Thursday and
took up the work so ably begun by
Revs. Crawley and Amiss and their
assistants, and from the very start
this talented and consecrated preach
er began hammering truths into
ever-increasing audiences. This Gull
minated on Sunday night in a gran d
revival lasting until 1915 a. m. The
meeting was kept up at the request
OF those at the altar, and when it
closed there were fifty professions of
conversion as q result of that nights
labors alone. About one-half of these
gave their names on the spot with
request to join some church of their
favor. Marvin Grove witnessed, pos
slbly, a greater movement upon the
occasion of Evangelist SCHOOLGIRLS
trst visit, but never before was there
such a calm and quiet time and an
evident manifestation of the presence
of the Spirit. The choir had sung
itself out before the hour of adj
Journment arrived. Members of the
church had gotten together at work
IN the congregation. At a time
when a pin could be heard to fall
young men and young women would
spring up in the audience and come
forward under conviction. The
movement was truly sublime and
awe-inspiring one and will long be
remembered by those present. At
the last morning prayers on Mon day
more than one hundred people came
out while the dew was fresh on the
leaves, and the prayer service soon
became an experience and consecra-
ton meeting. There were MANY |
damp eyes seen about the grounds as |
the hour of parting arrived. Withal
Il Is counted by those present one of |
the sweetest and grandest times ever
engaged in at this old camp ground.
and wonderful impetus has been
gwen to the movement for a large
'ncampment next year.

DEAFNESS.


Deafness is very n uch more gen
eral than is supposed" is the state
ment of famous physician. Many
persons who think they have perfect
hearing are living under delusion.
In most cases, however, the ordinary
deafness of people is the result of ac-
cumulations of wax in the ear. Those
who are troubled in this way should
never attempt to remove the wax
themselves. They should go to ply
sician. Ninety-nine out of hundred
cases of chronic deafness are caused
by catarrh of the nose, and may be
cured by treatment Of that disease.
People should be warned against put
Ting anything into their ears, such
as spoons. ear-scoops. toothpicks.
matches or finger-nails. The mechan-
SIN of the ear is very delicate and is
easily disarranged, and the use of
such instruments by inexperienced
persons is productive of the most Sc
