SHoRTFR cAMPAIGNs NEEDED.

The Waterbury American hits the
mark when it says that presidential
campaigns are far too long. The idea
that in this day Of instantaneous in
terchange Of thoughts and prompt
transmission of knowledge a campaign
Of four months is needed Is absurd.
THAT is a survival of the days when
lit took weeks for the country TO learn
even the names Of the party nominees.
If our national conventions were held
I'm late September or early October and
election held the first week in Novem-
Der, the result would be of advantage
to everybody except the few who prof
lit by the game of politics"
True enough, and until the perform
ance is shortened the way to do is to.
respectfully decline to get excited over
lit early. The country will be saved as
usual, even if the people don't get up
on their hind legs and howl for four
months. Our masters will attend to
that. About all we need to know this
year is that Parker is or is not hero,
and that Roosevelt Is or is not strenu-
ously safe. Indeed, that is about all
we can know. So let us not imagine
that when the campaign orators talk
| to us we have got to believe all they
say, or do all htay tell us to. OF course
we must protect the American home,
the American working man, and the
Infant industries that are struggling to-
grow in the United states Of America.
But as we surely can do that by voting
for Roosevelt we needn't feel obliged
to be agitated by the preliminaries.

DR.. Paul Jacoby, physician in chief
to the Provincial Asylum of Orel, Rus
STA, urges the necessity of a special
army medical service for insanity to
which privation, fatigue. the nervous
stension caused by ever present danger,
the frequent mental shocks, alcoholism
and wounds predispose the soldier, and
especially in remote campaigns where
there are no local asylums like that in
which Russia is now engaged. DR..
Jacoby served in the F'ranco-Prussian
war, and was then impressed with the
great number of cases of mental disor-
der which came under his attention.
and his further researches have shown
that the malady is common in all wars
and demands specialized attention. He
compares the sinking of warships by
mines and torpedoes to earthquakes
and volcanic eruptions, which are well
known to produce mental disorders,
and thinks that these new forms of
shock will tend to produce new forms
Of neurosis and insanity.

Automobile makers are, it,is said, be-
ginning to worry over possible substi-
tute for rubber for tires. It is claimed
that the demand for this material has
rapidly increased the last few years,
the importations into the United States
alone the last year being $9,OoO,Ooo over
those Of 1908. This means, It is said,
that rubber trees are being overtaxed
and that there is danger of their dying
out. The consumption of rubber for
vehicle tires is phenomenal in Its mag
nitude.

There are said to be ten thousand
voters in Indiana who are classed as
Quakers. Dunkards and Mennonites. To
these the Democratic committee is
sending a quotation from President
Roosevelt's Life Of Thomas H. BEN
tom, which runs: "A class Of profess
sional combatants is as hurtful to
the real healthy growth Of a nation as
"a class of fire-eaters; for weakness
or folly is nationally as bad as vice,
or worse; and in the long run Quaker
may be quite as undesirable a citizen
as duellist. No man who is not will
ing to bear arms and to fight for his
rights can give a good reason why he
should be entitled to live in a free coun-
try.

AN EARLY LITrI E BOOM.

Is there Democratic party, or are there any Democrats? Joseph G. John son of Kansas, who was in 1896 and 1900 chairman of the executive commit tee of the National Democratic Com nnittee, seems to think that there are some Democrats left. and that they can make party later on. This is the way he talks: I felt that Parker's de feat was certain, and the result shows us that the Democratic party must be movement this year 1t had wandered away from the true ideal of Jefferson ian Democracy, and to regain its past prestige it must get back to Democratic first principles. I firmly believe that William Jennings Bryan will be the nominee for President in 1908. and that he VIII be elected on a platform more radical than either the platform of 1896 or 1900. Mir. Bryan has had no dis agreement with the Democratic party. He is real Democrat, and now that the voters os the country have repg- diated the so-calIed reorganizers, Mr. Bryan snd his friends will come to the front and reorgsnize the reo.ganizers.
 A pleasing and 2 cheefing prospect, if 1t is a prospect. Win Bryan as the nominee on radical platform in 1908 there would De another avalanche. Perhaps sucR votes as that of Tuesday are going to be the regular thing for awhile.

sHARPSHo0TKRs.

If the man behind the gun can't shoot straight he isn't very valuable. A proposition is to be submitted to con- gress asking for an increase in the pay of soldiers in the infantry and cavalry branch who qualify as expert sharp shooters and expert rifiemen. The great value of a soldier who can hit what he shoots at over one who cannot is so self-evident that it seems very strange to some that congress has not already recognized this fact to the ex- tent asked for by those who propose to present the proposition to that body. In hand-to-hand conflicts weight of numbers tells, but with battles fought at from five hundred to two thousand yards thousand expert marksmen are worth ten times their number who can only fire at random. Of course, the proposed increase in pay will require legislative action, but it is argued that no better investment can be made by congress in the allotment of public funds than that which would make the position of the soldier more attractive to the intelligent and industrious young men of this country, and that which makes 1t worth while for the soldiers to do their best with their weapons.
 Of course, if we are going to have lasting peace we shall not need sharp shooters to defend us. But perhaps even another Peace Congress wont quite abolish war.

ONE AroRE CURE.

Manipulation of the eye" is one Of the latest '.cures." Dr. stephen. Smith. an English surgeon, does it. The precise method of treatment is not disclosed. remaining the inventors se- eret. The treatment is described as gentle and gradual. a few minutes daily, causing no pain and having no injurious effect Of any sort. Some pa tients are cured in a week, and in all cases improvement is rapid Thirty patients who previously had to wear spectacles have so far been treated by pr. Smith, and with one exception, it is stated, all have discarded glasses and can now read at either short or long distances, as easily as people who have never needed glasses. The cures applied to myopia. hypermetropia and to astigmatism, and are claimed to be permanent, which. of course, remains to be demonstrated. optimists assert that the general use of this method win practically abolish eyeglasses.
 Perhaps this cure will interest the Democrats who haven't been able to see straight lately.

SoNpoys of Europe Do Not Come Up
 to Reputation.
 Although the czar of all the Rus sians may proclaim his newborn son commander-in-chief of all the Cos sacks. signifying to his gallant sol- diery that "the little father" has not lost confidence in his chosen troops. the world, expertr military critic and mere layman alike has lost faith in the prowess of these honrdes of irregu- lar cavalry, from which 50 much has been expected and so little realized in the present Eastern conflict
 With the memory of the Boer War Fresh in the minds of military men with the exploits of the irrereular mounted farmers of the Transyaal but newly added to military records, the general expectation was that the Cos sacks, famed since the day of w,,d Mazeppa as terrible and relentless foas resembling those that fought under Botha and Cronje, would add K tho,r tuseer' Of all fields of battle it was particularly appropriate that Asio snould be their chosen fighting ground TOT following Skobeloff and all tbe Famous. Russian, leaders, the cossac,, Cavalry has carried the Russian Elm pire from the Ural to the Pacific, as the ancient pioneers of America bore more peaceful rule from the Ale ghanies to the Pacific.
 Military critics who study the his- tory of the Cossack find, however, that his exploits belong. rather in the vol umes devoted to border warfare against unciNilized foes than to the re- cords of cavalry in civilized war, es- tablished by generals like Murat, Sheridan and Forest. From the be- ginning the Cbssacks have seldom dis tinguished themselves against such foes as the Japaneese have proved l themselves.
 As early as Poltava, the fatal bat tie which ended the conquests of Charles XII of Sweden and made Peter the Great master of the land of the 3 g s1Sec4l Cossacks, their battles in open field have been generally unsuccessful Not even the famous Mazeppa could lead his Cossacks to victory here, and their independence was the price ex- acted by the Emperor.
 Not until Napoleon started on the dreadful retreat from Moscow, when his splendid army was reduced to a wreck, did the Cossacks distinguish

themselves, and here their tactics shone in fearful brrilliance. The charge of the light brigade at Balaklaya, how ever, found no parallel in Cossack bravery or success in the Crimea, and even for the Turk, when Osman Pasha held PleYna, the Cossock held no ter TOT. But in Asia, where Skobelof cap tured kingdom after kingdom, pene- trating Turkestan and crushing the Turcoman Cavalry, the cossack won great renown.
 Operating against a foe less well armred and equipped, if equal in gall lantry, guided by well-trained leaders, the Cossacks proryed invincible. h. deed, here their tactics were so suc- cessful that the American Army in its fights against the Indians adopted many of them, and the Cossack out post still persists in the Philippines, where an uncivilized foe Is met.
 But against Gen. Kuroh the Cossack has signally failed. Military critics as- sert that this is due in part to the vast line of communications Gen. Ku- ropatkin has to protect to the immense transport-guarding necessary and also to the huge Russian Army, immobile and entirely unlike that of the Boers, for which the Cossaclxs must continu- ally act as a covering force in the end- less retreats. Be that as 1t may, how ever, his gallantry may have perished, but the little Japanese calvaryman mounted on his dininutive pony, has | not been overwhelmed and destroyed, as the world believed he would be by the huge Cossack foe, who claimed kin ship long ago to the rough riders of the Spanish-American War.
 Russian in a measurer by race, al- though having a strain of the blood of the great Tartars who once overran Europe and of the blood of the Polish race, the Cossacks are more of fight ing race, living after habits more sug- gestive of the North American Indian than 8 civilized community.
 Their very name, a survival of Tartar term for llght-armed warrior, indicates their character as well today as five centuries ago, when they rode into the history of Eurorpe. Freedom has always been a passion with them, not freedom in a broad sense, but free dom as the cowboy interprets it, free dom to wander, to live in the saddle, to plunder the country of the foe. free dom from the restraints of civilization and for such freedom they have sold themselves to many rulers frequently to lose their special privileges for the time, and now. in return for their mill itary servrice, the Czar of Russia, fol- lowing in the footsteps of his prede- cessorsr, has honored this irregular cavalry, whose loyalty to him has been unflagging.
