A VISITOR FROM MARS.

A visitor from Mars we imagine
L n would get huge enjoyment out Of
our national campaign were he sudden
ly to light on this part Of the old globe
which we call the world. He could
gather specimens Of logic for the Mar
tian schoolboys that would amuse them
greatly ana serve as warnings Of what
TO avoid.
lie might begin with Judge Parkers
chief lssue--the Philippines. This ar
gument runs as follows. The American
colonlsts descended from a proud and
enterprlsing race whlch had fought for
human liberty for many centuries se-
curing as price for their efforts free
dom OF conscience, free press and
open courts. declared themselves an in-
dependent nation and laid down certain
principles applicable to them and their
condition. Now the Fillpinos are COM
posed OF mixed tribes and races; two
thirds Of them are living in savagery
They are unlettered, and bloodthirsty
and by race and tradition &c is dmpossl-
bic for them TO understand what liberty
Joined with law and order means. Yet
the principles Of the Declaration of
American independence adopted by the
colonists shall literally apply to these
sauges and apply nowl
And our Martian friend might find
another example right here i'm this lit
tie corner OF the planet, called Della
ware The argument runs: There has
been an honest and economical admin
istration OF county affairs, reducing
taxation and giving the taxpayer doll
lars worth OF improvements for every
dollar of tax Now certain of the coun-
ty officers have been nominated by
methods that SAVIOR strongly Of fraud.
But they must be elected and the fraud
overlooked, for on their success an hon
est administration depends!
Oh our visitor from Mars might en-
joy himself hugely and carry back de-
tails that would make our neighborinp
planet rock while it's inhabitants exer-
else their diaphragms.

First Aid' on Railways.

The Pennsylvania Railroad, which has

passengers and employees has just made
a new departure in the same direction.
Every baggage car Is 10 be made IN a
certain sense "a hospital by being furnish

methods by lecturers, who are already al
work.
Now accidents viii happen on the best
regulated railways and doubtless many Of
these prove fatal simply because skilled
assistance Is not available In time. II the
program above outlined shall be carried
out it will probably save many lives and
limbs that would otherwise be- sacrificed.
Passengers VIII often benefit by Il. but the
system is intended primarily for the relief
of trainmen injured in the discharge OF
their duties. II corporations in general
and railways in particular would adopt
something Of the kind the needless sacri-
flee OF life which is a reproach to the
country would be reduced.

PANAMA.

ID APERS Of the Democratic per-
4 suaslon relying on some extraor-
dlnary circumstance to discount the
Roosevelt administration prior to the
election have at last discovered that
the republic OF Panama is on the verge
OF war with the United States. The
New York World prints picture OF
the Isthmian troops drawn up In bat
lie array, presumably ready for de-
scent on New York or Boston
II seems that the citizens of the lit
tie republic after having gotten their
ten millions which IN the fullness of
Its generosity the American govern
ment granted them. now object to our
having the control necessary for the
completion OF the canal and its success
ul operation.
Now the canal IS Of more vital im-
portanoe TO the world in general than
is the republic Of Panama. We have
acted most generously to the people on
that little strip OF land. and are pre-
pared to safeguard their interests. But
they must preserve peace and not in
terfere with the great project. For we
have but one alternative. 70 seize what
ever territory we may require and
spank the insolent natives into subjec-
tion.

MR.. LEAFS POSITION.

nOUBTLESs Preston Lea win poll
II almost the entire Republican
strength In the State. He win do this
because he is the nominee Of both fac
tions OF the party Had ne been named
by the Republicans In State convention
he would have polled the fun strength.
Those who are opposing him. and
who are back Of the Chandler ticket are
making their protest. not against Pres
ton Lea, but against the methods en-
pioyed by the state committee in bring
ing about his nomination.
It is proper to clear the situation. and
but just to Mr.. Lea to say that ne was
not a party to any maneuvers which led
up TO the tender OF the nomination to
him. AS the candidate he is not re-
sponsible for the sins Of certain men,
bers Of the committee. or committees.
But we cannot in honesty overlook
the fact that the friends Of DR.. Chand-
Ter have a number Of grievances: nei-
ther can we overlook the character of
most OF the men who are supporting
him. This is Mr.. Lea's misfortune, not
his fault. The interests Of the party
and Of good politics may demand the
support Of all Republicans for Mr.. Lea,
but those who think differently are en-
titled to all respect and are wen with
IN their rights.

pELAMARE EoR RoosEvELT.

THE Philadelphia Record I'm speak
Il ing Of Delaware politics says: Tn
spite Of the division on state issues the
President thinks he may get the cleo
toral vote OF the State, but he won't"
1t is true that there is very mixed
state Of affairs In the Republican
party OF Delaware and 1t is also true
that the Democrats are apparently
united and harmonious; but we think
there are few politicians Ga this state
that do not concede the electoral vote
10 Roosevelt and Fairbanks There is
practical unanimity in supporting the
electoral ticket. That the State might
stand I'm the Roosevelt column was
one Of the strongest motives in bring
ing about compromise ticket. And
even the Regular Republican ticket
which originated as a protest against
too sweeping harmony deals. has at
its head the Roosevelt and Fairbanks
Electors.
II is idle TO say that an Republicans
are pleased at the Presidents attitude
towards Delaware. II Is equally idle
to say that an Of his acts in reference
to party matters here can be justified.
But there seems to be an impression
that is general that the importance OF
a Republican national administration
overshadows any local wrongs, and
few Republicans viii carry their dis
appointments or even their just
grievances to the polls.
And, too, many party men who re-
sented the Byrne affair. who were
surprised and pained at the removal OF
Huldah Todd and who have been
shocked at the recognition Of Addlcks,
yet are admirers Of the character Of
Theodore Roosevelt as shown in larger
affairs. a careful examination OF the
sentiment OF the people convlnces us
that very few Delaware Republicans
viii cut the Roosevelt electors.

The Lazinesa Germ.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Professor stiles, chief of the Divl-
sion OF Zoology in the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service al WASH
ington, created a sensation a year ago
by declaring that laziness was due to
the presence Of a germ-that, in fact,
M was disease, just as mumps and ty-
phoid fever are diseases. The professor
has during the past twelve months been
continuing his Investigations with re-
ference to the laziness germ, the result
being that he has succeeded IN find
ing out nearly all about the unduly
thing. Describing It's effects. he says:
sufferers show many symptoms not
all alike by any means. The face Of
the confirmed sufferer has an anxious,
stupid expression. is sometimes bloat-
ed. The pupils Of the eyes are dull,
dry ana usually Of a chalky white.
Sometimes there is a stupid. fish-like
stare. that is hard TO describe, very
similar to that noticed i'm cases of ex-
treme alcoholic intoxication. A per-
verted and generally ravenous appetite
Is one Of the symptoms of the disease.
Patients are especially fond of pickles.
/ have seen boys and girls In advanced
stages OF the disease greedily devour
entire bottles Of pickles. Others want
salt or lemons or to chew coffee or TO
drink large quantities Of coffee without
sugar or milk. The disease IS often en-
.countered in South Carolina, Georgia
and other Southern States"
IL has I'm the past been generally
supposed that the Southern climate was
to blame for the lack of energy down
there, but apparently the people OF that
section have been wronged. Who

nectiOn with the death of Arthur Bur
wash. aged g. The dead boy lay in the

ing terrified, had carried the wounded
