As opposing a reafirmation, but all
are IN the non-committal column. A
party that passes that sort Of a ver-

Dangers of Hand Shaking.

A Savant has just published in Brus-
sells a treatise on shaking hands,
which practice he pr0nounceS to be-
extremely dangerous. When two men
clasp hands they exchange thousands
Of microbes. according to the Brussels
gentleman's discoveries, there being
an average OF about 80, 900 germs Of
various kinds upon every square half
inch of the manly palm.
1t must not be supposed, however,
that every hand is rs bad as that. The
Brussels savant admits that a maiden
fair whose hands are soft and white
may not have more than 40, 900 or
so, 900 microbes scattered over both
of her palms. Hence we may conclude
that holding her hands is attended
with but small risk to the holder. But
she, on her part, should be very care
careful. The Brussels savant says doc
'ors, surgeons. nurses, hair dressers,
BARRIERS, butchers. sausage-makers,
tripe merchants, tanners, and leather
dresSerS have microby hands. There
fore it is always best for a lazy to
make sure, before permitting a gen.
tleman to take her hands ia bis and
hold them foudly there, that he isn't
a surgeon or a sausage-maker or a pur-
veyor Of tripe. To be absolutely on
the safe size she should lever allow
any lei W. those who are metal
workers to hold her hands. Metal
workers, it has been found, have few
microbes in their palms. since metal
sets up an oxication which acts as an
a~ntiseptic.
The results of the Brussels savant'S
investigation are exceedingly inter-
estlng and serve as a further proof
that hand-shaking is even as risky as
1t is foolish. Let us give up the habit
and So cease to cause thousands of mi
crobes daily to be stricken with nos
talgia. Humane considerations alone
should be sufficient to make men re-
linQuish this senseless practice.

a short time ago in the history Of ma

What We Owe Uncle Sam.
Then I look again. and I see those
spires and those steeples and that
tower, and over yonder where the brok-
en- veterans are | see that streaming
banner that I need not name for its
name is "as old as the glory of God"
and this is the answer. This is why.
Here are institutions, not perfect, it is
true, but the best, nevertheless, that
have been wrung from the centuries;
here are privileges and opportunities
that you and | found awaiting us when
we came into this country; privileges

mountains and cross seas for IL they
were not already at hand; privileges
and opportunities that We could not
earn for ourselves and institutions
that we could not build for ourselves
In a score of lifetimes. and back of all
these-Uncle Sam. And this same
Uncle Sam, not a saint, not a Solomon.
but the best Uncle Sam nevertheless
that you or / Dr. anybody ever had.
These things think of with this same
Uncle Sam in mind, and then I say:
There is not much of me, but what
there is. is his: what there is. is with
him and for him, heart and soul, to
the last breath against all the powers
Of darkness. IL need be; against the
world. the flesh and the devil.
Let us make this our political re-
ligion in this day Of rampant social
skeptic:sms. and let us preach IL with
the zeal that is justified by the right
of the cause. Then in this.
II seems to me. We shall find not only
"The True Mission of the Party Press"
this day. but also the splendid oppor-
tunity and the glorious privilege.

Hon. Charles L. Henry Defines Them

At the banquet with which the an

urated, Hon. Charles l.. Henry. owner

publicans do not make campaign is
sues in the common acceptance of the
term. They inaugurate policies and
stand for the advancement, progress
and prosperity of the nation-the Dem

a vote at the polls. "One difficulty
that the Republicans have had to con-
tend with" said Mr.. Henry. lis that.
while everything good. politically, that
has been done for the country has
been brought about by the Republi-
cans, everything bad has been charged
against them by the Democrats be-
cause they didn't prevent it,"
MIR. Henry said it was due largely to
the untiring efforts of the Republican
newspapers of the state that Indiana
occupies it's present proud position
and has made such marked advance
ment, and that il rests with them TO
keep up the good work. The decreas-
ing of the state debt by almost $4,000
600 within the last eight years, he
said, has been brought about by Re-
publican administration of state af-
fairs, and the Republican press must
contend for a continuance of this pol
icy. We must insist upon the admin
istration of state affairs in the future
as in the past and upon the business
like, nonpartisan management of state
institutions. In national affairs the
Democrats are pledged to do some
thing with the currency-just what
nobody knows. The Republican party
stands where il has stood all the time
for sound money.

William Jenning Bryan, since his
return to Nebraska, has made his
position plain. He declares that the
st. Louis convention must reatfirm the
Kansas City platform and add a few
planks in harmony with it. The reor-
ganizers who have been planning the
construction of a platform which
would not unduly conflict with any
ones nations and the nomination of a
candidate without any preconceived
ideas are naturally disguised with a

Democratic party shall declare its In

The rural mail carriers will get an
increase of salary. This is now def
mite and positive as any event can be
in advance Of its actual consummation.
A poll Of the house committee on post
Offices and p~ostroads shows that the
committee is practically a unit in ia
vor of the increase. The exact
amount Is uncertain, but it looks as if
a straight increase from $500 TO $3.50
a year for the standard route will be
about the extent of the advance.
