1t Is COOL TO Laugh.

Health, an English publication. says:
ut is good to laugh. There is prob
ably not the remotest corner or little
inlet of the minute blood vessels of
the body that does not feel some wave
let from the great CONFUSION produced
by hearty laughter shaking the central
man. The blood moves more rapidly.
Probably its chemical, electric or vital
condition is distinctly modified. 1t con-
veys Il different impression to all the
organs of the body as it visits them
on that particular mystic journey when
the man is laughing from what it does
at other times. The time may come
when physicians shall prescribe to a
torpid patient so many peals of laugh
ter to be undergone at such and such
a time"

1T APPEALS TO ALL SECTIONS.

Referring to the rioting and lawless-
ness IN Chicago and the burning of
negro murderers in Georgia, the Min
neapolis News says: "There is surely
something wrong with a civilization
that presents the Georgia spectac'e at
one end of The country and the Chi
cago spectacle at the other, In the
one case men are deliberately throw
ing law away and preforring to live by
violence. In the other they are forced
by hunger to fight in the stress for
food The cases are as widely differ
ent as two cases could easily be, But 1t
is to be noted that the resor5 to law
lessness in both is instant Their e
seems to be no instinct, of restraint.
Passion rules in the one case by
reconciliation, in the other presumably
on Impulse In both law is flung TO
the wind. This does not happen once
or twice, bat repeatedly 1t grows by
what it feeds en-. There must be a
return to a reign of law. Every
every postponement makes
the way harder for us" The force
and truth of this must be admitted by
every thoughtful citizen.

TOM WATSON FOR ROOSEVELT

If any evidence Is needed ID show
that in this campaign Tom Watson
Will work to the end of turning votes
away from the Democratic nominee for
President and helping the Republican,
1t is amply supplied by the following
excerpt from his speech made IN MadI-
son Square Garden few days ago.
Chow is 1t with the Democratic par
ty? Our political history has never
seen situation so Iudicrous as that
which the national Democratic party
now holds. I can understand how the
citizens can work for the Republican
party and vote it's ticket with enthus~
lastic zeal, but why any human being
should, IN the 1904 election, vote the
national Democratic ticket is some
thing that passes my untutored COM
prehension.
81 do not believe that the SIX and
half million men who followed Bryan
with cheers on their lips and warm
convictions in their hearts, can now
be delivered like cattle to CIevelandI-
ties who knitted the ticket or who bolt
ed in 1896.
81 believe that the great majority of
the men who voted for Bryan are men
of convictions; cannot but hope they
will realize that [ am fighting their
battle now,
by what right do the Demo cratic
leaders undertake to preach and ex
pound to the American people any
economic ques ion? Never III the
word could it emphasize itself on any
issue as it did on the money question
from 1896 to 1904"
Mr. Cortelyou himself could not
have made better Republican speech,
and he, no doubt, was pleased with it,
but the position of the PopulIsts IN the
campaign is well understood
There is no reason to fear that Mr.
Watson will be able to affect the cleo.
ton to any great extent, but on the
contrary, it is more than probable
that the use which is being made of
the Populist party by Chairman
Cortelyou will cause HIM to lose a
greater number of votes for Roosevelt
than he wilt gain, and very large
part of tn Republican campaign fund
will have been squandered in vain.
