Governor Of this state has even\ a
higher obligation; he should maintAin

HUM has sunk to depth Of partisan-
ship beyond which there is no lower
depth.
Were a remocrat governor Of this
state we should say that the intent Of
the law and the decencies Of the case
require proper minority representa-

at all times the minority party should
have at least two members Of this

big enough to do his duty any way
We are not sufficiently narrow as to
squint at an advantage which comes
our way, and the decent thing for
John HUM to have done would have
been to have named a Democrat TO the
vacant position.
But the Governor appears TO have

laugh behind his back at his asinine

The New York Jorld, though it is

thinks that It is justified in stating
that Roosevelt viii certainly be
nominated and almost as certainly
be elected. For this It has been
taken to task by certain OF its con-

paper that isn't honest cannot do
the party any good. It is getting

Other Prize Winners Similarly Share
Their Gratuities-Edwin Bjorkman
Discusses the Reasons of Strind-
bcrg's Lack of Popularity in This
Country.

Immediately on receiving the Nobel
prize of $4,000, DR.. Niels F. Finsen
transferred one-fourth of it to the
Finsen institute at Copenhagen. Di-
rector G. A. Hagenann and Council
Tor Jurgensen thereupon made the in
stitute gifts of similar sums, bringing
a whole Windfall of good fortune. AS
the institution is young and not yet
self-supporting, the gifts will enable
it to obtain firmer footing and to
increase it's field Of usefulness.
Later DR.. Finsen gave $4,000 kroner
to the sanatorium for chronic heart
and liver diseases at Copenhagen.
DR.. Niels Ryberg Finsen is now 43
years of age. He was born at Thors-
havn, Farce Islands He graduated
from the medical department of the
University of Denmark, in 1892. He
has been more a student and scientist
than a physician. His chief service to
the world was his discoveries fol-
lowing his study of the effect of light
and especially the actinic and nom
heating rays of light. In 1895 he
treated the first case of lupus accord
ing to his theories. This and other
cases were so successfully treated that
an institute was opened. In the first
five years 900 lupus cases were treat
ed, the great majority being cured or
materially improved. His success at
tracted the attention of the medical
world, and within five years there
| were seventeen Finsen light cure hos
pitfalls outside of Denmark.

fortunes, and business men are wide.
sy discussing the enterprise that
raised him from an humble position in
d factory to one Of profit and honor IN

To the newspaper representative
who called at his home, No. 2236 Aus

had long desired to enter business life,
but as his education had not includes1 a
business training he had been forced
TO work In a local factory. Being de-
termined to rise in the world, not
withstanding his surroundings, he took
up a correspondence course in book
Keeping and business methods during
his evening hours, and SO fitted himself
for his present position without los
! ing any time or money while doing so.

The Battle of the Strong

And If 1t is a hard one for the
strong. what a struggle it is for the
weaker ones. The strong man or
Woman--strong physically and men
tally-faces life with fortitude and
courage and oftentimes they fail. The
weak are doomed from the very out
set of life's battle. The theory of the
survival of the tittest" is ages old,
and as true and practical to-day as it
was hundreds of years ago. The weak
must grow strong and the strong must
grow stronger if they want to be more
successful in life's battle. To the
really strong the battle is an interest
Ing one; to the weak it is pitifully
discouraging.
The tonic and blood builder that
will make you strong and fit is Wal
theirs Peptonized Port. There is no
better tonic in the world, for it con-
tains just the ingredients that put vim
and vigor into your system. 1t is
composed of absolutely pure pepsin
and rare old port. The combination is
pleasant, palatable, eXhilarating-

WHY is sTR1NDBERG UNKNOWN
The Famous Swedish Writer Has NJ
Vogue in America.

Vogue III America.
Scandinavian literature of the pres
ent day reaches it's highest expression
in the works of three men whose
names carry nearly equal weight thru
out continental Europe, not only with
the critics, but with the mass of read
ers and theatergoers, says Edwin
Biorkman in the New York Post.
They are the Norwegians Ibsen and
Bjornson, and August Strindberg,
SWede.
In this country Ibsen appears grad
ually to be coming to his own, and
Bjornson has been made familiar to
the public thru his early peasant
stories, but Strindberg does not even
possess an esoteric reputation And
yet it should seem that the mere pro-
likeness and versatility of this play
wright, novelist essayist, critic, his
torian and amateur scientist should
compel our students of foreign lltera-
lures to take cognizance of him.
No authentic photography of Strind-
berg exists He must have to his
credit more than sixty volumes by this
time, or up to the end of his fifty
fourth year. But no work Of his,
dramatic or novelistic, has ever been
printed or played in English in this
country, so far as 1 am aware.
The only reason I can imagine for
| this Indifference to man who is SO
| widely known and admired on the
other side of the Atlantic must be
sought in certain blemishes which
faint, to a greater or less degree, some
| of his Works-but certainly not all OF
| them-and which even Strindberg $
warmest admirers cannot disregard
entirely. Judging him by European
standards, and leaving aside the sup
posedly prejudiced American point OF
view, one must still admit that the
| Swedish writer time and again touches
on subjects, introduces incidents, anC
employs expressions which are lncom'
patible with all modern ideas of liter.
airy propriety-or of poetical license
T wonder if he ever wrote anything
that surpasses Miss Juliet his mos
famous one-act play, either in lnten
sity of dramatic power on in keennes:
of psychological analysis. Yet tina
play could under no circumstances bt
| brought forward on an American
stage The plot itself is merely grue
some, but the incidents used to de
velop it are revolving, and the realism
Of the dialogue borders at times OF
filthiness.

THE OLD SWEDES' CHURCH
An Interesting Relic in Pennsylvania
MAY be Abandoned

There is some talk of abandoning
the old Swedes church at Upper
Merton, Pa. which has been in con-
slant use since 1860. 1t is feared that
the holding of advent services in st.
Andrews hall, Bridgeport, by the
members of Christ Gold SWedes')
church, and the movement toward the
erection of a chapel in that borough,
may end in the partial abandonment
of the historic old church, half mile
below the town. This church, once the
center of a large rural Episcopal con-
gregation, is now being gradually iso-
lated by the construction Of railways
and the opening of quarries in that vi
cinity.
It is a handsome plain stone Gothic
edifice, built in the form of a cross
| with a square tower SO feet high. The
congregation was organized in 1870
and the church built in 1850. In the
graveyard there is tombstone bearing
date of 1745, showing that the place
must have been thus used a long time
| before the erection of the church.
