Bryan's Views on Immortality.

The February National Magazine
reprints from new book, The Proofs
Of Life After Death, this expression
Of the views of William Jennings
Bryan on immortality: II shall not
believe that this life is extinguished.
II the Father designs to touch with
divine power the cold and pulseless
heart of the buried acorn, and make
it burst forth from its prison walls,
will he leave neglected in the earth
the soul Of man, who was made in
the image of his Creator? II He
stoops to give to the rosebush, whose
withered blossoms float upon the
breeze, the sweet assurance of another
springtime, will He withhold the
words of hope from the sons Of mer
when the frosts of winter come? II
matter, mute and inanimate, though
changed by the forces of nature into a
multitude of forms, can never die, will
the imperial Spirit of man suffer an
Inhalation after it has paid brief
visit, like royal guest, to this tene-
ment Of clay?
Rather let us believe that He, who
in His apparent prodigality wastes
not the raindrop, the blade of grass or
the evenings signing zephyr, but
makes them all to carry out bis plans,
has given Immortality to the mortal.

lmpetieo Contaeiosa.

DR.. Q. s. Carr. editor Of Medical
Talk, Columbus, Ohio, is asked by a
person of Ovalla, Tenn, about the dis
ease which boards of health pronounce
small pox. The Doctor replies through
his Medical Journal as follows:
1.-THE disease is known as impetigo
cOntagiosa. 1t is a disease of the
tropics, and has been brought to this
country since our relations with Cuba
and Porto Rico. 1t has also been
called malignant itch, Cuban itch and
several other names. This is the same
disease that is called small pox by
many of our health boards. 1t is a
new disease in this country. The last
epidemic was in 1866, and it was then
imported with Havana tobacco, I be-
lieve.
It is slightly infectious, but the
least bit OF care and cleanliness pre-
vents its spreading from person to
person.
There is no treatment for it. It
produces no constitutional disturb
ance, and has simply to be let alone,
the body kept clean, and the bowels
kept free by the use OF Epson salts, a
half teaspoonfull taken after each
meal"

German as the Senate Leader.

The return of Arthur Pue German,
of Maryland, to the United States
senate, was Immediately followed by
his selection as leader of the demo-
cratic forces in the upper branch Of
congress. In this capacity he will out
line the course OF the party, with the
cooperation of the eight other mem
bers of the steering committee, and
will have more to do lin determining
the party's policies than any other
democrat.
Mr.. German was retired from the
senate when Maryland went into the
republican column and in the interreg-
mum the party has felt keenly the abb
sence of directing force. 1t is I'M
fortunate in having Mr.. Richardson
as house leader because of the book
scandal in which he became involved
and the temper of the senate leaders
made them poor generals. Mr.. Cor
mans wide experience, his comprehens-
i've knowledge of public questions, his
life training in politics and his rare
skill made him especially valuable to
the minority. His loss has been keen
ly felt, and there is occasion for con-
graduation in his return to the lead
ership.
Senator German has always been a
party man and a consistent regular.
When other eastern democrats desert
ed the standard raised in the Chicago
platform, he accorded Mr.. Bryan loyal
support, and defended the platform.
Again in 1900 he engaged actively in
the campaign and won the merited
confidence and respect of Mr.. Bryan
and his followers. He is genial per-
Sonality and a fetching one. His
popularity in New York City is even
greater than in Maryland, which state
has infrequently failed to honor him.
The first evidence of the wise poll
cies the party s representatives in con-
gress will urge is found in the decision
OF the caucus, presided over by Mr..
German, to accord the Cuban and
Panama treaties, as prepared by the
administration, their cordial support.
During the recentsession of the SEN
ate unwise democrats talked of oppos-
ing ratification of the treaties, but
happily opportunity to do this was
not afforded them. 1t would not only
be political mistake to oppose these
treaties, particularly that providing
reciprocity with Cuba, but it would
be discreditable to men who are sup
posed to protect the national honor
which is directly involved in the grant
Of tariff fayors to the young republic.

The president undoubtedly has the
legal right to appoint custom house
officials and post masters, but he has
no moral right to outrage the senti-
ment of any community in their Sc
lection. Conditions, it has been we'll
said, as we'll as theories, should be
we'll kept in mind. When theories
are applied without regard to conse-
quences, the consequences are invari-
ably disastrous. The quality of kero-
ssne is ascertained by the flash test
but Roosevelt is not sufficiently fool
hardy to have the test applied in a
powder magazine. In these appoint
ments, instead of trampling the pub
lie expressions under his feet as I'M
worthy of his thought, the president
should find means to ascertain and ex-
ecute the public wish. This is the
true republican theory of government;
the presidents course is that of a
despot, regardless of the public will Of
the locality affected. Why don't he
experiment with negro post masters
in New England, Iowa, Ohio, Illinois
and Indiana and republican New
York? Either of these states have
negroes as competent and.as deserviny
as his Mississippi postmistress or as
Mr.. .Crum of Charleston. To appoint
negro postmasters in Iowa and other
northern states would lose him their
del, cations in 1904; to appoint them
in the south may secure him delegates
from that section. This is the presi-
Dental love he bears to the negro.
A negro at Cementville, Indiana,
asks to be postmaster there, where
the pay of the Office is but 1927 year.
The white people of the place protest,
and the senators and congressman Of
fer him a place in the government
service where the pay is $500 a year,
but the negro insists on the post Office
or nothing. Why don't the president
solve the race question by appointing
negroes in Indiana?

TRADE REVIEW.
Busin ess Ahead Of Last Years Record
and Is Growing Still
Better.

New York, March 9.-Bradstreet's
says: Business is ahead of last year
and still expanding. This is indi-
Gated by the generally good reports
received from eastern and western
trade centers, and is confirmed by
largest on record February bank
clearings and simply enormous gross
railway earnings returns. Southern
trade and crop preparations are
dulled or retarded by heavy rains and
rising rivers, but it is to be noted
that despite this influence receipts of
cotton are heavier than year ago
and had some influence in bringing
about reaction in cotton prices this
week. Special activity is noted by
jobbers in All lines of wearing APP
rarei, dry goods, clothing, shoes, mil
linery, hats and caps, and retail trade
in these lines is also expanding. Ac-
tive preparations for heavy sea-
sons building are indicated by a
large demand for lumber, light and
\ heavy hardware, paints and glass
There is also stronger tone to iro1
and steel"
R. G. Dun G. Co.'s Weekly Review
Of Trade says: Further improve
ment in the movement of freight an6
fuel makes the general situation
more favorable, although shippers
are still constantly complaining ani
pig iron furnaces are not able tt
run steadily. Numerous labor strug
| giles also interrupt manufacturing
yet mills and shops are producing
freely as rule. Jobbers and whole
salers are busy, while spring retail
trade has opened very well in man,
lines, notably wearing apparel. Per
mits for building operations sho,
large gains over last years figures
giving additional strength to lumbe
and other materials.

!. Prouty Forces Gain Control
in Polk County.

Jack Burns, Or a man who who gave
this as his name, is under arrest on
the charge of committing three bur-
glarias tat Clinton. The evidence
against Burns is exceedingly strong,
and if he is the guilty man, he is the
boldest robber that ever operated in
that city. In each instance he entered
dwelling houses and at only one
place wore mask. The burglar en-
tered the room of DR.. Fisher and his
wife before being detected. He COM
manded silence, but the doctor called
for help, whereupon the burglar threat
ened to shoot him If he did not keep
still. Thoroughly frightened, the doc
tor jumped out Of the second story
window, leaving his wife in the room
with the. robber, who took what valu-
ables there were in sight, a gold
watch and $40 in money, and departed
before the police arrived.

Prouty Forces Victorious.

A crushing defeat was administered
the Hull forces in the primaries at
Des Noines. Friends of Judge S. F..
Prouty gained complete control of the
Polk county Republican, committee,
having three-fourths of its members.
The result will probably mean the re-
tirement of Mr.. Hull as candidate for
congress next year and the nomina-
ton OF Prouty to succeed him. Judge
Prouty in an interview said he would
be candidate. County Treasurer A.
l.. Layman, who gained notoriety in
connection with the poll book scandal
Of last spring, was overwhelmingly de-
feated for another term.
