One of the pleasing incidents in
connection with life at the White
House was the visit to President
Roosevelt last week of William
Jennings Bryan, the Democratic
leader. Mr.. Bryan went there
just as a plain citizen, and with
cut any more claim to the atten-
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt than would
any other citizen of the land, no
matter how humble his condition.
He also went there as the ac-
knowledged champion Of the
Presidents political opponents,
but was received as would be the
most personal friend. Mutual ad-
miration was expressed by the
two, and Mr.. Bryan afterward
stated that his brief interview
with the Chief Executive was
most satisfactory. All of which
shows how quickly political diff
ferences can be dropped when the
leaders of widely varying parties
meet. In no other country of the

French Professor Advocates Ending
Lives Of Seriously Afflicted
Patients.

A French professor is advocating the
establishment of bathrooms In hospit-
ais, where patients affected with incur
able diseases who have lost all desire
to prolong their days may at their own
request be sent painlessly out of the
world, says the Newark News. 1t Is ex-
tremely doubtful II such measures will
ever be adopted In France or any other
civilized country. Occasionally people
are met with among ourselves who pro
Tess to believe that this kind Of work
ia done In some hospitals, but they are
quite wrong. 1t is the business of the
physicians and all those connected with
the care of the sick to prolong human
life. not to shorten 1t, and under no cir.
cumstances whatever do they consider
themselves justified in departing from
this rule. To put people to death be-
cause Of incurable disease would tend to
diminish the sanctity of human life. and
possibly open the door to the commits.

SHOCK BRINGS BACK VOICE
Physician Says That Electricity II
Judicsously Used Often
Restores Speech.

A young woman who had not been
able to speak for Ave years has recov.
cred her voice through electricity. One
of the hospital surgeons Who operated
said: I'VE occasionally get patients who
are unable to speak. not through any
organic ailment,. but simply because
they are In hysterical condition. and
we often cure them by strong electric
shock. AS a rule they yell out. and then
they have no excuse for not being able
to speak. We do not suggest that such
patients have been shamming. They ac-
tually cannet speak. although there is
nothing wrong with their voice. They
are the kind of patients who sometimes

markable' cures. There isa good deal OF

farm planted near us In the swampy
woods. The trees we're left standing to
shade the men from the hot sun while
they cut away the brush. They meas
ured the farm with long ropes six
yards apart. This rope was stretched
along the ground. and small shoots
from banana trees we're planted at ev-
cry red tape. Next week the men
came and cut down the forest trees.
The shoots were left to grow for six
months. then the grass and weeds were
cut down with machetes. A machete
has long steel blade with bone han
die. Soon the sprouts were grown trees
and at the end OF one year big punches
Of bananas were cut from them. They
were railroad tracks on this banana
farm. and In two days all the great
lunches Of bananas were packed into
cars and sent to the New York boats
waiting at the wharves.
The man who owned the farm only
got 30 cents for large bunch and IL
cents for small ones. When the boa'

were sold for ive dollars. There are a.

Don neglect the privilege OF doing
your part in the matter through the
expectation that the Republican
state ticket is sure. OF a satisfactory
majority as the result OF Monday &
state election. That majority, how
ever conclusive in q practical way,
will certainly not be satisfactory
which indicates lack Of interest and
lack OF effort on the part OF many
Republicans. The same principles

Some recent statements touching
the extent OF the divorce evil in
Michigan will justify the demand,
voiced by circuit judges and promi-
nent attorneys, as well as by minis
ters OF the gospel, that some prompt
and radical restrictive legislation
should be enacted. Certainly it is
not desirable from any point of view
that the character OF the laws of
our state should in any way con-
tribute to the deplorable situation

"How Soon They Are

Take the expression 'Banzai!' for in

from vaudeville stage to department
store, you hear Gothamites mouthing II as
though II were a choice bit of slang. A
very few years ago certain German

Youths pledged each other with 'hoch!

first days Of our war with Spain, the ex-
preston 'Manana' was imported. Scorn-
fully. amusedly. jocosely, 1t was ut erred
everywhere. Newspapers took 1t up. and
employers slipped 1t into lectures to their
clerks on laziness. Yet who says mana
ma In this country? Up to the 'manana'
period the French phrase I'm del steele
was all the rage. Clothes were named
for II, and people wrote to the papers ask
