Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Oregon. The
remaining fourteen will be cast in
States that are more or less doubtful
Connecticut (D, New York (3), New
Jersey (2), West Virginia O, Illinois
(9), Wisconsin %, Colorado %, Cali
fornia %, Washington (D. OF these
doubtful States, seven-all but little
Colorado and little Washington-wer
carried by Mr.. Cleveland in 1892. In
1896 Mr.. Mckinley carried all of them
except the two mentioned, and in 1900
he carried all of them except Colorado.
An mportant--perhaps the most i'm
portant-fact about the twenty-nlne
new votes is their geographical distri'
button. Nine go to the South and ten
to the various sections of the West,
the remaining ten going to various Sec
tions east of the Alleghanies. This
means that the Importance of the rest
of the country over the East has been
increased in the proportion of nine
teen to ten. 1t will be seen, then, that
the preponderance of the Middle West
has at last become definite and estab,
lished-a highly significant fact for
selecters of Presidential candidates
and builders of national policies.
The "sure Democratic" group =. the
thirteen Southern States-will this
year cast a total of 151 votes in the
electoral college. The fifteen "sure Re-
publican" States will cast total Of
1853 electoral votes. Or to tabulate, the
figures would be as follows: Total vote
in electoral college, 476; necessary to
elect President, 299; sure Democratic
electors, 151 sure Republican electors,
159; Democratic deficiency, SS; Repub-
llcan deficiency, 80.
If the Democrats find lightweight
votes in addition to those now consid-
cred certain, we shall have a Demo-
cratic President but, on the other
hand, if the Republicans find eighty
votes, we shall have Republican pres
ident. Mr. Phillips puts forward
combination which he says, if it is
worked right, it can be made to carry
and will ensure Democratic victory.
He has added to the 151 sure Demo
cratic votes the following: Maryland
8; New York, 80, and Illinois and In
diana, AZ, which gives total of 24O
votes or one to spare. He points out
that if these States are pulled over
they will carry several smaller ones
with them, as was done in the Cleve-
land election in 1892

All church property should remain
in the control of the corporate civil
body, to be by it held for church pur-
poses, providing a parish has a priest
in charge or some other form of spir-
itual authority, but as soon as it has
no such authority, then it reverts to
the civil corporation. Such body has
the civil control, which it can never
relinquish to any other local body; yet
as to the spiritual control, it has al
ways given way to the needs of any
parish having priest in charge. 9th
erwise, there will be conflict of au-
thority between the corporation and
the local vestries or any other consti7
tuted bodies. 1t is well that this wise
provision should remain as it is at
present and as it has been inNhe past
We believe in letting well enough
alone and not 10 tear its fabric into
atoms before the wind

stands against the water revenues a
bonded Indebtedness of over 100000.
Any further bonded Indebtedness must
be based upon the present excess in
water revenues and not on prospective
revenues based upon estimates of what
the new gravity system will produce.
The council will do a very foolish
thing if it attempts to solve the water
question in direct opposition to the
plan outlined by the Commercial Club.
OF course it has the power to submit
it's own plan, but it should have learn
ed wisdom from the result of the bond
election of June, 1902.
The city has water rights on the
Thomas ranch that cost the old water
company $4,000 in gold coin and the
city has done development work there
that has cost about $4,000 more. 1t
is hardly likely, therefore, that the peo-
pie will give their approval to any
scheme that will necessitate the alb
solute abandonment of this $4,000 in
veStment as we'll as the total abandon
ment of the city'S present $250,000
water system, furnishing an excellent
supply of pure spring water, in order
to get supply of tepid water from
Mill creek of questionable purity at a
cost of not less than $250,OOO, to say
nothing of probably 100000 additional
in the settlement Of riparian rights.
People generally believed that the
Weile scheme was dead and buried be-
yond resurrection long ago, "~7 they
will be astonished to find tat It
again being seriously advocated by the
chairman of the water committee, with
the apparent Endorsement of a ma
iOrity of the council.
But if the Weile scheme cannot be
killed without a ten to one vote of the
people against it, the people will be
under the necessity of attending to the
letails of its execution at a special
election.

CURE FOR \ APPENDICITIS

The rapi increase in appendicitis
cases makes important an announce
ment by d.. LautenbOrn of Norris
town, ~ J., who states that walking
1t is explained that if the entrance to
the vermiform appendix is not kept
tightly closed small portions of waste
food find way into it, and as there
is no exit it cannot be forced out,
necessitating a dangerous operation
for its removal.
Doctor LautenbOrn says that when
man is doing considerable walking
there is no danger of appendicitis for
the reason that the abdominal and in
testinal muscles are kept continually
active and so in good working order.
The jOlting given to a mans interior
economy when he walks causes the
muscles of the abdomen and the intes-
tines to continually contract to offset
the jar of his step"
There would seem to be much in
this theory, if. indeed. it is not the
correct one. 1t has long been COM
mon remark that only the rich can
afford appendicitis, and perhaps This
statement by the eastern doctor eX-
plains why it is that the rich are more
subject to. appendicitis than the
poor The disease is almost. if not
wholly, unknown among farmers Ia
boring men and others who by their
occupations are forced to be upon their
feet most of the time and to do a great
deal Of walking. 1t is also noticeable
that appendicitis is very common
among the rich who do very little
walking and use n carriage for even
short distances, and whose walking is
confined almost exclusively to the
house or place of business.
The theory Of Doctor Lautenborn is
plausible and should prompt every
man or woman to walk more and ride
less. At any rate, walking is conceded
by physicians to be the most useful of
exercise

consolation for its defeat in these cleo
tons Of 1902 in the reflection that its
chances Of victory in 1904 could not be
impaired by the blunders of a repub-
ican congress.
The republican party had made the
campaign of 1902 on promises Of trust
legislation and tariff revision. Mr.

tenn has tlourished and, doubtless, con-
tlnues to flourish. Repeatedly the
proposed investigation has been voted
down on strict party lines.
Congress now pines for adjournment
even though it has not completed ne
cessary routine work. Republican
leaders in both branches are preparing
for adjournment in two weeks, with
little or no opportunity remaining for
general legislation. If any congress"
says Representative Williams, has
ever made such an exhibition of neg
lecting, repudiating and lodging great
public questions AS the present one,
there is certainly no record of it,
We are adjourning in haste he
says, because the majority party is
afraid of a pOst-office investigate and
the rapid manufacture of democratic
campaign material. There will be no
time in the short session for anything
but appropriations, and two years will
have been wasted
But the record of congress, as it
stands, is good enough campaign ma
terial for democracy. 1t is a record of
negation and neglect from first to last.
It is plain as to the republican attitude
upon each of the great issues. 1t makes
a strong case. 1t indeed gives democ-
racy a cause before the people which
the latter cannot but regard as just.
