Tennessee.

There is rumor in Tennessee that H
Clay Evans. who is shortly to return from
London. is to be the republican candidate
next year for governor. His home Is at
Chattanooga. and he Is very much respected
in the state. AS a business man he was
long identified with the development of the
commonwealth. and as an active politician
he has long been well known to the people.
He is still in the prime of life, is a capital
mixer, and a call to arms again by the
men he has several times led in party con-
tests might find him not indisposed to re-
spond. Politics is incurable. and Mr.. Evans
has had the complaint a long time
Mr.. Evans ran for governor of Tennessee
in 1894 against Peter Turney. and his
friends have always insisted that he was
elected. The race was close, but on the face
of the returns the republicans had the
best of it. Mr.. Turney was an odd charac-
ter. and appealed to a class of men who
were poor losers and very resolute con-
test was set up. and as the democrats were
already in office they improved their ad-
vantage and remained in. AS in the sub
sequent case of Goebel In Kentucky the
revised returns nullifed the voice of the
people as expressed at the polls. Mr.. Tur-
ney got the Office to which Mr.. Evans had
been elected.
Since then Mr.. Evans has filled two i'm
portant places by appointment. Mr.. Nc
Kinley made him the commissioner OF PEN
sions. and his record In that bureau stamped
him as Il man both of courage and of high
executive ability fhe experience was
stormy throughout, but he weathered the
storm. and gave the country the admins
tration of pension affairs that had long
been demanded. Mr.. Roosevelt transferred
him from that place to the consul general
ship at London, and there also report speaks
In praise of him.
Mr.. Evans is the better equipped for ex-
ecutive duties by reason of these services
and should he re-enter Tennessee politics
would have an added claim on the 'atten-
ton of the people. The democracy seems
pretty firmly in the saddle, but there is
some factonalism growing out of recent
contests, and particularly out of the cleo
ton of Gov. Frazier to the Senate to sue
coed Gen. Bate, and spirited campaign by
the republicans led by a man of recog-
nized ability and personal worth might hold
out the hope of victory.

The Police Census.

Day after tomorrow the policemen will
cover the District as thoroughly posi-
BILE in taking the municipal census. They
have received full Instructions, with a list
of questions TO be asked of all household
ers. Before they come to the front doors,
putting what may seem 20 a few citizens
impertnent queries, it is well to admonish
all that this inquiry is a necessary meas
ure of. good government. and that it is the
duty of every resident of the District to
answer fully and cheerfully every question
put by the police.
1t may. perhaps. be doubted if the aver
age citizen realizes the extent to which
good municipal administration depends
upon these occasional counts and inquiries
1t is important that the value and the
urgent need of such researches should be
made plain to every resident. Without the
information which it is hoped to gain next
Wednesday. 1t is impossible for those in
charge of the local administration to know
whether they are meeting the needs of the
community, how far the schools are ade-
quate. how far the sanitary provisions are
sufficient whether the public health is i'm
proving or otherwise. how prosperous the
District is in regard to the welfare of the
individual.
SldIlSuCS may seem 10 many u uTy anu
Improbable basis for administrative work
But without accurate municipal statistics it
1t never possible to know just how far the
work of government is good or bad. With
full and accurate figures showing the con-
dition of the family. the occupations of in
dlviduals. the ages of children and the state
of the Community's health. the Commission
ers can proceed to strengthen the weak
places and to extend the municipal activi
ties to reach new needs.
For an instance, it is hoped to ascertain
by means of this police census the exact
truth as to the health of the District. An
impression prevails elsewhere that Wash
ington has an unusually high death rate
Washingtonians who know the situation be-
lieve that this is exceptionally healthy
city. 1t is believed that if frank answers
are returned to all the police questions on
Wednesday the resulting statistics will re-
flute the charge once and for all time. 1t is
therefore, to the interest of all residents to
cooperate In this inquiry and to make the
task of the policemen both easy and pro-
ductive of the best results possible.
Washington ought TO be susceptible of a
practically perfect count and an exact rem
dering of absolutely reliable vital and eco
nifty. by ~ means difficult to cover in such
a work. and with an unusually intelligent
population. The circumstances favor the
assemhaga of an ideal series of statistical
tables. by means of which the evolution of
the model municipal government may pro-
coed Systematically.

Gov. Cummins on the Tariff.

Gov. Cummins of Iowa, one of the most
prominent advocates of tariff revision, has
no hope that such action will be taken by
the present, the Fifty-ninth. Congress. He
thinks 1t ought to be taken, but sees such
difficulties in the way as will send the
question over TO later day.
b The people. says Gov. Cummns, must
declare themselves at the polls in a way
that cannot be misunderstood or disobeyed.
A House must be elected instructed par
ticularly as TO the tariff. This seems to
concede that the present House was not so
instructed. And yet the tariff entered into
last years contest. The revisionists in the
republican party forced the standpatters at
Chicago to an admission in the platform
that the Dingiey schedules were not sacro-
sanct. and that admission was used by
many republican speakers in the cam
paign as an assurance that the party that
had framed those schedules would revise
such of them as present conditions no
longer justified.
And what was the purpose Of Mr.. ALL

are the logical outcome Of the systems
which the two men represent Surely the
days of autocracy. whether by voluntary
concession or by revolution and blood, must
be numbered.

REMEDIES USED BY MILLIONS
Truth About the Popular Proprietary
Medicines"

The recent campaign against the
use OF proprietary medicines. conduct
ed in the columns OF The Ladies
Home Journal and Golfers Weekly.
has evoked an answer from the Com
mittee on Legislation Of the Proprte-
tary Association. The committee says:
"ln considering the question raised
by recent attacks upon proprietary
medicines. every reasonable man Will
admit that there Is wide and legiu'
mate field for the manufacture and
sale OF medicines already prepared
for general use and easily obtainable
at all times and everywhere.
As a matter OF fact these medicines
arc not patented at all. and the popu-
lar use OF the word patent in connec-
tion with them Is a misnomer. Any
pharmacist will tell you that praeu-
caily the only patent medicines in
use to-day are those which are manu-
factured either by foreign or domestic
pharmaceutical houses. and which are
now almost exclusively dispensed by
physicians or designated by them in
their prescriptions.
The medicines which are now the
subject of wholesale attack by Mr..
Box and Editor Hapgood are the old.
fashioned family remedies properly
described as proprietary medicines
They are the favorite remedies among
millions OF people all over the coun-
Try: and. Notwithstanding the con.

of users OF such remedies asking for

them"
