BEDE ON POLITICAL SITUATION
Says Democrats Must Get Right With
Providence.


dispatch from Chicago last night saws.
THE first thing the democrats need to do is
to get right with God"
This is ]. Adam Bede's diagnosis of the
political situation. Mr.. Bede who Is repre-
sentative from the Duluth district in Min
nesota, has just come in from a Chautau-
qua tour and made his report to the re-
publican national committee.
That is what 1 have been telling the peo-
pie out In the country Mr.. Bede contin-
ued. THE burden Of the democratic plant
Is that Providence is always Intervening to
help the republicans. Back in 1895 the
democrats took up the 10 to / money issue:
then providence stepped in and gave the
world an unexpected additional supply of
gold. That knocked out the money issue.
NOW the farmers have been given good
crops. From Indiana especially reports
come OF a phenomenal corn CROP And this
in pivotal state
THE democrats say 1t is God again help
ing the republicans. All right They ought
to get right with God"
THE fact is" said Mr.. Bede, 1.-The peo-
pie are pretty we'll contented in all parts
of the country. There Is no wrangle over
politics and no great issues dividing public
opinion. l went on the Chautauqua tour
partly to find out what the people were
thinking found that they are not talk
ing tariff, and about the only subject in
which there Is a live interest Is trusts. But
they don't see how this Is to become an
issue in this campaign.
80 far as / have been able to discover.
the election of Roosevelt Is a foregone
conclusion. The only contest Is on the con-
troll Of Congress, and for this the republic
ans. as Mr.. Babcock says, will have to
make fight.

 How to deal with pneumonia is one of the pressing problems. and it is now going to be thoroughly and systemat- icalIy tackled. Experiments will be conducted in Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, San Francisco. Buffalo. Helena. Minneap- oils, Denver and twenty other cities in different parts of the country as well as in Montreal, Canada. It is expected that within the six months which be- gan with November l, no less than 20.- 900 cases will be carefully studied by trained experts. A careful record of each experiment is to be kept, and in every instance duplicates of the ''cul- tures'' studied are to be sent to the "clearinghouse," or central laboratory, which is the headquarters of the board of health in New York city. Most of the laboratory work is to be done at Boston, saranac Lake and the three laboratories in New York, and the final results will be summarized and placed at fhe disposal of the medical frater- nity of the world by the New York Board of Health. Twelve questions will be before the investigators continually. Half of these have been referred to the meteorological committee and half to the clinical committee. The twelve cover the entire range of the disease as yell as studies of the air and dust conditions in public and private places.
 Something good ought to come out of this. Perhaps New Haven will soon contribute to the fight against pneu- monia by allowing the railroad compa- ny to put up on corner ot the Green an ornamental and comforting shelter for the millions who will need it.

THE INDIAN .ELaI PEELER.

Call an Indian man an ''elm peeler'' and you wreck his pride. Usually it draws from him a venomous retort The term ''elm peeler." according to the old masters of the Hoosler, con stitutes slur At Peru, however, it stands for money, and lots of it. If you don't believe it, ask 4. L. Hitler, the ''eIm peeler of Peru. He knows.
 The "elm peeler'' is the benefactor of mankind. He is the HoosIer medicine man, and is not to be spoken of dis paragingly.
 Twelve years ago Hitler began peeling elm trees in the forest surrounding Peru. His sale of the medicine freighted ''peer' was small at first, but gradually began to realize that the elm peel was curative, and Hiller's business increased with the years. Now he cannot get it fast enough.
 Most of Hiller's product of the forest goes to Chicago medicine manu- featuring company, and he gets g l-2 cents a pound for it. Recently, with five assistants, MT. Hitler gathered seyenty-two hundred pounds of elm peel, receiving six hundred and eighty four. dollars for the shipment. It re- quired fifteen days to gather the lot.
 The season for peeling elm trees is from April 10 to June 1. Hitler and his 'elm peelers" go to the woods and camp during the peeling season. Ere quently they work from fifteen to eigh- teen hours day--in other words, they make peel while the sun shines.
 The trees must be ten inches or more in diameter before they are felled and peeled. The elms are sawed near the bottom, and then rolled to spot con venient for peeling. The rough outside covering is removed, and then large knife is used to dissect the '.sliD- pary'' part of the elm. There the peel CT has the slippery elm 50 dear to the heart of every boy. The boy who does not know when the slippery elm sea son is on is a juvenile dyspeptic.
 After the trees have peeled, the logs are abandoned, and are later cut into stove wood. Elm Peeler Hitler insists that unless the planting of elms isl made an extensive industry by the far- mers in few years the elm will be ex- tinet, and it is necessary to have them for the medicine they contain.
