by teachers in Germany, and there, as in
Switzerland, it is said to be highly successful.
The absence of rhythmic sense is mani
tested in the great majority Of people, M.
Dalcroze points out, in the jerkiness and
~irregularity OF their motions and speech.
The woman who at one momen almost
stammers and in the next pours out a Dor
rent of words, the man whose gait is STUN
bling and irregular, the child that uses its
hands in capricious spasms instead Of in
steady sustained effort, have never had the
sense OF rhythm developed.
Marching is the basis OF the system.
Every motion Of the foot corresponds with
a written note. The professor plays the
measure; the pupil moves his feet in time
to it. When the measure is 30 slow that the
whole time cannot b consumed in making
a step to each note movements of the arms
or body are added to fill out the full period
OF the musical beat.
Thus the form of melody is corporealized
in the learner. At first compliance with the
time of the music il a conscious operation;
then it becomes unconscious or mechanical
and at last Instructive; then the pupil has
rea ched the point where musical notes
naturally array themselves according to
beats. bars and measures and will spon-
taneously be played or sung in rhythm.
Independence of movement in the differ
ent limbs is cultivated in advanced classes
by teaching the pupils to beat a different
time with each hand, as, for instance, a slow
march with the right and a quick waltz will
the left, or by teaching the pupils to beat
with the hand a different measure from that
to which they may be walking or dancing.
Incidentally the system develops personal
grace in a much higher degree than ordinary
gymnastics, which, as a rule, are mere ex-
ertions Of force without regard to regularity
OF movement. The rhythmic spirit of Mr..
Daleroze's exercises tends to render them
beautiful, and they have the same effect
upon the pose and action of those skilled in
them as dancing and calisthenics are sup
posed to impaTt.

A POPULAR SENTIMENT

Ex-Senator Harris of Kansas, who has recently been nominated for governor of that state by the Demo- cratic party, is out with an an- nouncement declaring his intention to enforce all laws, those relating to railroads, saloons and joints the same as all others.
 So popular and powerful has the sentiment for enforcement of laws become that candidate for office who is not known to be in favor thereof must depend upon the politi- cal machinery of his party to secure an election, and man who, like Mir. Harris. is known to be free from any taint of control by violators of the law, is almost assured of an election, even in state like Kansas, where he represents minority party.
 It has also become recognized fact that man holding a minor political position and aspires to some thing higher, if he expects to succeed he must have the backbone to stand squarely for justice and right and not attempt to curry favor with those who may oppose laws enacted for the benefit of the general public.

THE LID" ON IN FRISCO.

A significant testimonial to the demonstrated value of saloon regu- lation is the order issued by Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco, requiring the saloons of that city to remain closed indefinitely. The salutary results of suppressing the traffic in liquor in San Francisco, under the present conditions, have been made so clear and manifest as to indicate the necessity of perpetuating that policy.
 It seems queer to think of the Hid" being on in town like Frisco, doesn't it? And it seems queerer still that it should be put on and kept on by a mayor like Schmitz, who has always been the "wide openest" kind of a wide open .man and just the sort of a person the people who don't like the Folk stamp of a man are supposed to dote on.
 You can raise the cry of Puritan and Pharisee and academic politician against Schmitz of Frisico, and yet you will take notice that he con- siders it right and necessary to put the saloons out of business until the work of restoring the municipal machinery shall have reached a point where it can grapple with the dis order which is natural incident of dramshops.

The Trail of Cowtown.

 When we've loosed the last calf at the branding And the fire and irons are cold When the mess wagon empty is stand ing, And the last of the camp yarns is
 told. Then it's off to the cowtown alluring, With it's glitter of primitive joys, Like the men of the sea at mooring, We men of the saddle turn boys. We have checked in the dust at the trailing, And have grasped in the roundup reek, warm, And oft, when the bright stars were paling, Have we guarded the herd 'gainst the storm; So now for the primrose-lined byways-- Adieu to the prairie so brown And our horses drum tunes on the highway As we sing on the trail to the town. Yes, our tastes are primeval- ad-
 mitted T. But no more than the rest of our
 race; For have not your own joys quickly
 fitted, No matter how mighty your place? And what have you gained by your toiling-- Has the thought never come unto you That you'd give all the years of your moiling For one brief day of joy-as we do

IS BRYAN STOCK GOING UP ?

Mr. Bryan's letter to his old hunt ing pal, MT. Moses c. Wetmore of St. Louis, makes it quite clear that the Nebraskan, who is now in Egypt, has not put himself out of presiden- tial calculations. twill be admitted that Mir. Bryan has reasons to be pleased with some of the things that have transpired since he took his de- parture on worlds trip. His ad- vice to representatives of his party in Congress has been pretty closely followed. His approval of many of President Roosevelt's recommenda- tions, some of which were first Dem ocratic policies, has been seconded
 most ably seconded-by Senator Baily, Representative Williams and most of the Democratic members of both houses. And as Democratic stock goes up, it must be gratifying to Mr. Bryan to note that it has ad- vanced somewhat through policies for which he has steadfastly stood. The former leader of the party would be excused if he reasoned that his own stock may have advanced somewhat at the same time. For the present it is not so much what MT. Bryan's new policies may be as whether he is ready to discard those old ones that have been repudiated by events as well as by the people. .- Kansas City Times.

 Queens root, Golden Seal root, Stone l root, Black Cherrybark and Bloodroot, all articles extolled by leading practi- tioners of all the schools, as the very best of cough medicines, are made es- pecially valuable when combined with chemically pure glycerine which greatly enhances the curative action of all these ingredients in all bronchial, throat and lung affections, severe coughs and kin dred ailments.
 Who can doubt the efficacy of such compound, when scientifically made up, as in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery? Who can doubt that 1t is most effective remedy for the several diseases for which it's ingredients are so highly recommended by the formost writers on Materid Medical
 Is is in the cure of the more chronic or lingering, persistent, and obstinate cases of bronchial, laryngial and lung affections, attended by hoarseness and severe cough, which if neglected or badly treated would generally have run into consumption, that "Golden Med ical Discovery has won the highest praise from all who have observed it's marvellous control over these and kin T nff1 so pound made-up of trashy ingredients for free distribution, that curious peo- pie may experiment upon themselves as with the many fake nostrums SO commonly sent out as vtrial bottles" It has forty year record, embracing many thousands of cures behind it, is sold at reasonable price and may be found in all drug and medicine stores in this and many foreign countries.

 Much further information as to the properties and uses of Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak women, will be found in a little booklet of extracts from standard medical books which will be mailed free to any address on request, by letter or postal card, sent to Dr. R.

 All the several ingredients of Dr. Pierce's medicines will be found, from the reading of this little booklet, to have the strongest possible professional endorsements and recommendations for the cure of all the diseases for which these medicines are recom- mended. No other medicines for like purposes have any such endorsement. They are non-alcoholic, non-secret, safe and reliable.

"PARDONS ON ICE !"

The beef barons threaten to "car- " the war into Africa" by enjoining the farmers organizations and labor unions as trusts. This reminds us of a statement made in Farm and Ranch last June by the governor, and now United States Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas, that he would keep pardons on ice" for farmers who might be adjudged guilty of this offense. Hear him:
 II know that the farmers of Ar kansas are not violating any anti trust law.

The Earthquake .
Mrs. D. Owen

 San Francisco, fated city,
 What calamity for thee! Earth-like meadow grasses waving Heaving like the billowy sea; Buildings fall from firm foundations, Waking eyes behold sad scenes. Sleep-dulled ears hear crashing timbers Mingling with sweet morning dreams. Now the people reused from slumber Rush from ruined homes to find All in motion all commotion,
 Trying safe retreat to find But the horrors all around them
 Shuts off every ray of hope, Fire horror adds to horror
 On fated San Francisco's slope. And those crushed by falling buildings The fire finds, the foe we dread, Blisters faces of the dying
 Scorches faces of the dead; Is there then no arm to succor
 None to rescue none to aid, Can none save them from such torture, Can no help for them be made? Where are now the fire engines, Where brave firemen with their trains, Useless now are they and helpless, Broken are the water mains; And the strong mems hearts are failing, Fire and ruin everywhere None to help them, none to save them, Nought for them but dark despair. And we in this inland city
 With our hearts so full of grief For the stricken, sad survivors,
 Question, can we send relief? Yes, our hearts so full of pity
 Urge us to this deed of love For the devastated city In the name of God above. Mena, April 25.

The Kansas City Journal suggests that "the $10, 0,O00.O 900 to be spent for a gigantic battleship, of which there is no need, would go a long way toward making the Missouri river safely navigable." Or if expended on the public roads of the country in cooperation with the states which would furnish like amount, would prove of lasting benefit to all the peo- pie. Battleships are costly and often more ornamental than useful, while good roads are both useful and ornamental.

There are few so low as to seek to do homage to the Standard Oil officials and their public plundering pals, and there are but few papers who are not now denouncing them and their methods. The St. Louis Post Dispatch in recent issue has a cartoon representing John D. Rocke- feller searching for his ancestors and examining the tombstone of Captain Kidd, much to the disgust of the aforesaid Captain Kidd.
