Mr.. Bert Nortoni. Republican
nominee fer court of appeals, writ

attempted to show that Mr.. Folk
was not elected circuit attorney Of
st. Louis in 1900.
To the ordinary mind it makes
no difference now whether he was

attempts to prove that Mr., Folk
was not elected by n congressional
contest, wherein it was alleged that
5000 Illegal votes were cast at that
election. II election contests can
be used to show that Mr., Folk or
any one else was or was not elected
Mr.. Nortoni could have found bet
ter evidence in the records of the
circuit court of the city of St. Louis
which show that in the election of
1900 not II single lawful vote was
east by the Republicans of st.
Louis. If he will examine the
contest papers filed by the Repub.
lican contestants in that election
against the circuit judges, circuit
attorney, etc, he will see that they
allegc every vote east in the city of
st. Louis in the election of 1900
was fraudulent, including the votes
Of the contestants themselves. If
statements IN papers prepared for

and it what these Republican con-
testants said was true the Republi-
can party is in II bad fix in st.

man knows it is not true. This
merely shows how unreliable state

THE speech of Senator Fairbanks
accepting the Vice Presidential
nomination is the utteTNnce Of
a sound. conservative man. He con-
tents himself with brief review OF
the practices and policies Of his party
and the statement OF his hearty ap-
pFoval.
Senator Fairbanks is not man to
FIRE the Imagination and raise enthusi-
asm. but he is undoubtedly sound and
able. We are forced to give attention
to the character and ability OF the
nominee for the second place on the
ticket. for there is a possibility and al
most a probability that he win be call
ed upon to discharge the duties OF a
Chief Executive. There is no doubt
that Mr. Fairbanks would measure up
TO the duties Of the higher office.
It was this that Mr.. Root had in
mind when he referred 10 the great
age Of Mr.. Fairbanks opponent. This
criticism may appear ungenerous, but
u Is legitimate nevertheless. When a

EAT LESS MEAT.

TT HAS been observed IN the res
taurants OF the large cities that
since the meat troubles began at
tentlon has been directed towards the
preparation OF more Items on the menu
which exclude meat or reduce it TO the
minimum. in this world abuses are
frequently regulated by forces unfor-
seen and unexpected. We eat too much
meat the physicians tell us. and this
strike occurring during the summer
months has induced us all to make the
experiment OF revising our diet in the
interest Of economy and possibly
health.
The dietary Of the common man is
tiresome from its monotony OF flesh.
that a more liberal interspersing Of
farinaceous foods and vegetables would
tend to better health, lightness and
elasticity Of body and peace Of mind
Especially In hot weather. and no doubt
the prepared health foods are better al
the beginning OF the day than is tn,
customary chunk Of greasy, gristi,
flesh. OF course, on the score OF econ.
omy there is no comparison; vegetabl,
food is by far the least wasteful in ma,
terial and cheapest in price. It Il
worth while to try it for a season.
