The nomination of Roosevelt by
the Republicans next year will
demonstrate whether Wall Street
and the trust pIutocrats are the
ruling powcr in national politics.
Roosevelt will have the opposition
Of j. 2. Morgan and his crowd,
and the plutocracy of the country
will be lined up for the Democrat
ic nominee. Whether he belongs
to the Bryan or the Cleveland fac
ton, will make little difference to
Morgan and his people as long as
they can have the assurance that
he will not meddle with their
schemes Of trusts and mergers.
That the Democratic party will,
under cover, make this pledge is
beyond a doubt, since they have no
''paramount" issue upon which
they can hope to base q successful
campaign. The promise of Wall
Street aid in securing the offices Is
an alIulement beyond the resist
ance of the Democracy, to say
nothing of the millions Morgan
will pour into the Democratic cam
paicn fund to defeat man who
had the temerity to Gala halt up
on the trusts.

intelligent sentiment to be against
the liquor traffic, the fact that it
finds its influence so hard to COM
bat is due principally to politics.
The politician knowing the power
of liquor interests will naturally
throw party influence with that
element which will aid most in
party success. Could the saloon
be separated from politics it would
be nm easy matter to regulate the
evils of the liquor traffic.

New Use For Hypnotlsn.

bencfaetor of the human race. DR..
Lillinksjold, having been placed
under arr est, tried, fined and SEN
fenced to Jail for twenty days for
some small infrac,icn of the law,
deliberately hyrnotizcd himself,
saying he would awaken from his
trance at the expiration Of twenty
dnys. So for all efforts to awaken
him have been unsuccessful. We
hail DR.. LlIlin>kjoId as great dis
coyerer. Self hypnotism as a
means Of killing time-''doing'
time in the doctor s c"se-surpass-
cs any heretofore known refuge
from boredom. Compared to it,
what is bridge, ping-pong, the
latest popular novel! No more
weary waiting for trains, no more
patient endurance of long sermons
no more suffering from the non
punctual friend, all the tedious la
cunae of life filled up, simply with
out spurring the unwilling brain
to invent diversions! Had DR..

1t came. Many have since been
kicking about the smoke nuisance.
You wanted the savings bank de-
posts to increase.

decrease that your people could
borrow more cheaply whercwith h
to develope your resources.

MARRIAGE LAWS ABROAD.

How Breach Of Promise Cases Are
AverteA In Hungary.
There are many curious and inter
esting facts regarding the marriage
and divorce laws Of foreign countries, y
said r. ]. Brown, who recently return
ed from trip abroad, where he made
a study Of the question
Breaches Of promise are averted In
Hungary by an express declaration or
The civil marriage act that the relations
Reafed By q betrothal do not give the
right to command the conclusion Of a
marriage, but II either party with
draws from an engagement without
Just reasons he or she II bound to
grant compensation to the extent OF
the outlay incurred Divorce In the
English sense does not exist. but the
courts can decree the personal separa-
ton Of q married couple without dis
solving the bonds of matrimony.
"A curious law prevailing IN France
provides that before being married
children of family, although over
age, shall seek in respectful and form
al terms the advice of their father and
mother. It makes no difference, how
ever, whether the consent of parents is
given, for the couple can be married a
month after under any circumstances.
This is also the case In the Neither
lands. A divorce further entities the
innocent party to recover all the pres
ents he or she may have made.
According to the constitution OF the
Netherlands the civil marriage must
always precede the religious ceremony.
