EDITORIAL OPINION
Addieks and Lawson.

From the Philadelphia Evening Tele-
graph.
Mr.. Thomas w. Lawsons article on
"Fren2ied Finance" has made at hit
at last for his opinion Of Mr.. J. Ed
ward Addicks. OF Delaware, has caused
that Drotean gentleman to squirm. an
operation hitherto seemingly hopeless.
From our nelghbor State comes word
that the Gasmans adherents have
sought TO suppress the number Of the
magazine ia which Mr.. Lawson sac
rihce their chief but without other
success. To an uaprejudiced outsider,
there would seem to be no need OF such
drastic measures, for II the people Of
Delaware don't know j. Edward. no one
does. His record there is writ very
large aud his personality Is as famil-
lar as the whipping-post.
A lot OF people have said a lot Of
things about Addicks IN his time with
out performing the feat OF piercing his
hide and stirring his inner susceptible
ties, and Lawson deserves an honorable
mention for such an accomplishment.

Thls Apathle campalun.

From the Chicago lnter-Ocean.
Campaign managers are puzzled and
troubled by the\ seeming Indifference OF
the people to politics. The Oldest cam-
paign managers say they never before
saw so little interest shown in a Pres
idential election.
The apathy is not confined to any
party. 1t Is general. Most Of the polit-
ical meetings that have been held up
TO this time have been poorly attend
cd. The enthusiasm has been down to
the freezing point.
Not more than one-third Of the guam
tity of campaign literature used i'm the
contests In 1896 and 1900 will be dis
tributed this year. The demand, for
campaign buttons and badges has fall
len Off IS per cent. From more than
one state the request has come to both
party headquarters that no speakers
be sent.
Except where local questions arise to
arouse interest the people appear to
care little whether any campaign Is
made. The torchlight professions.
hambeau clubs. campaign legions. and
other spectacular accessories Of former
Presidential contests are altogether abb
sent.
The Republican leaders console them
selves with the thought that this indif-
ference means that the people are so
well satisfied with existing conditions
that they have already made up their
minds to vote for Roosevelt and do not
care for arguments to fortify them IN
their convictions.
The Democratic leaders have no ex-
PLANTATION even as plausible as the FORE
going, and they are even more annoy
ed than the Republicans by the absence

corruption purposes.
IL Is believed that Addlcks' political
barrel has dwindled to "A keg. and he
VIII not put up the huge sums he has
employed in the past. But Republicans
expect their national committee TO send
them a heavy fund. Since the Repub-
licans carried Delaware the corruptible
vote has always been sufficient to de-
termine the election. Should the Dem
ocrats get a fund even half as large as
the Republicans they could probably
win.
Both Republican factions have the
same Presidential electors. The Ad-
dicks men had plain sailing with the
national committee behind them unit

FEEDING A DOCTOR.
His Body Changed BY Change in Food.

A convincing bit Of testimony to
show what a simple change of food can
sometimes do to end apparently incur
able disease is told in the following ar
ticle by a Chicago physician.
THE case is my own. had been
suffering for more than 25 years with
nervous dyspepsia, insomnia. occasional
kidney trouble, and general disturbance
of my whole system. My appetite was
affected and so / lost weight and
strength. but most serious of all was
the gradual failure OF my memory.
proving that my brain and nerves were
not getting the proper food any more
than the rest of my body.
Three times I made the journey 10
Carlsbad, and spent a fortune consult
ing famous physicians and specialists
In this country and Europe but never
got any permanent results. All the
medicines known to science failed TO
give me even temporary relief i'm spite
OF the fact that ] was always exceed
ingly careful in my diet. was on the
verge Of despair and never looked for
ward TO being well again.
zone day about two years ago I was
staying at a hotel I'm Minneapolis ac-
lcompanied by famous European ply
sician. DR.. Werner. Of Berlin, and there
we noticed a new food on the menu
called Grape Nuts. Having little de-
sire to eat ] ordered some just to see
what it looked like and then was per-
suaded to try Il.
what ! experienced was not short OF
wonderful.
mot only did the new food taste so
good I relished it, but for the first
time in many years / felt entirely free
from the terrible pressure on the
stomach which / had always suffered
even after the lightest meal. on my
return to Chicago my very first act
was to order Grape-Nuts sent to my
home where the whole family relish II
so they use ii daily without any urg-
ing. and We expect to do so as long as
we live.

An Antelope That owen. In swnmp..

An Antelope That DweIIs In swamps.
The general idea Of an antelope pic
lures it as a swift runner, fleeing in
graceful bounds over stretching brown
plains. There is an antelope in the
Congo region. however, which rarely
ventures to the upland, but actually
lives in water, spending practically all
of its time wading around in the
swamps and feeding on swamp growth.
such as papyrus and other water
plants.
This swamp antelope represents
among animals what the heron ard
other wading birds do among biz
and like these wading birds the sw1f' ,
antelope has extraordinarily long and
thin legs. while its hoofs are wonder
fully long and spread out almost as
wide as birds claws when the animals
wade in the mud, thus supporting them
on the soft bottom.
These swamp antelopes are by no
means small animals, but belong to the
larger forms Of their species. A full
grown male is as big as the buck of the
fallow deer in Virginia.

pELAWARe DEMOCRATS.

THE Democratic State Committee
\ has chairman at last. The seec-
tion of James p. Winchester gave gem
.eral satisfaction to the rank and file
there being an impression that some-
way his connection with financial af-
fairs would result IN party success. Mr..
Winchester, however. refused the role
posslbly because as the game Of Della
ware politics Is being played. he prefers
more congenial pursuits.
Mr.. Salisbury is now back in the
harness. and this puts the organization
practically on its old basis, with the
qualification that Peter J.. Ford appears
TO be less active than formerly. This.
however may be delusion, as Mr.
Ford has natural aptitude In politics.
and his friends viii hardly allow him
to remain Indifferent.
salisbury is at the head. with
possible reward in view, based on his
success in carrying the Legislature
Kenney is in control Of the forces OF
Kent and Sussex, with the office Of
Secretary Of state as his star Of hope.
Mr.. Handy has a special inducement to
make his oratory effective and the two
Marvels doubtless hope for kinder
day two or four years hence.
There is another fact that is signi-
fcant: In every section of the state
there are men Of considerable influence
who have held aloof from active party
work during the last eight years Some
have been out Of sympathy with their
party and others have been forced into
retirement. 1t appears that since the
nomination OF Parker there has been
a taoit agreement that the slate shall
be wiped of; anyway these men. are
rehabilitated as militant Democrats.
Consequently It is apparent that
Democracy is preparing to give the
Republicans a battle royal. Someway
there is a confidence, particularly in
Kent and Sussex. Il may be due to
persistent rumors of campaign funds.
and possibly the fact that the country
has been divided into sections. and the
division embracing Delaware is given
into the charge OF men. two of whom
are Senator German and Gassaway
Davis may have something to do with

And its life begins anew.
