Poweriess In Strong Hands.
Mrs Eddy is powerless in the
hands of designing persons. They abb
solutely control her, and their en-
ployment of Mrs. Leonard's services
Is for deep purpose. Just what that
purpose is may be easily imagined.
1.-THE World has collected mass OF
facts bearing directly upon the sur
prisipg conditions that surround the
hidden life Of Mrs. Eddy.
these facts are quite apart from
the tenets of Christian Science, so
called, and will appeal as forcibly to
fair-minded members of the cult as
to the general public.
MANY millions of dollars-just how
many the records fail to show-have
passed into Mrs. Eddy's personal pos
session since the founding Of the
Christian Science cult. Millions Of
her books have been sold. and each
book has yielded her a royalty Of one
dollar.
From the mother church in Boston
she yearly receives a great sum, con-
tributed by devotees In all parts Of
the world In the form of annual dues.
One Of her closest friends and follow
srs estimates Mrs. Eddy's fortune at
bl5.000,000, and her annual income at
100000.
"Of this vast sum there 10 practi-
eaily no trace. There Is no public rec
ord of It's investment, no clew to its
distribution.
"Her financial agent and cousin.
Frederick N. Ladd. secretary of the
Loan and Trust Savings bank, of Con-
cord. while refusing details, has said
that Mrs. Eddy's estate is surprisingly
small, she having expended the bulk
Of her fortune in charities

long, pointed chin, characteristic OF
Mrs. Eddy's face in youth. was as
beautiful as ever. So, indeed. were
the large eyes, and the long, finely-cut

perfectly white hair, crowned by a

Her Last Public Appearances.

Mrs. Eddy's last genuine public ap-

for q moment she posed on the bal.

assembled faithful. Since then Mrs.
Eddy has been invisible save to Frye
and the members of his inner circle"
Continuing its charges Of fraud and
deceit. the World stated that there
was ample ground for the widespread
belief that Mrs. Eddy is slowly dying
from cancer. 1t has been discovered,
says the World, that this dread dis
ease has afflicted others Of the Baker
family: that two brothers and two sis
tiers of Mrs. Eddy died from 1t; and
that an operation for the same malady
alone saved her fathers life.
There Is positive evidence that
Mrs. Eddy has secretly employed reg
ular medical practitioners for herself

TO purchase or erect homes for Amer
lean ambassadors to foreign countries.
The desirability of such q step has
been apparent for so long that it has
developed into a necessity. It is now
the custom for our ambassadors to
expend the greater part of their sal
aries in the rental Of residences. They
feel that they must have handsome
homes in the capitals of the nations
to which they are accredited, for the
dignity of the United States must be
upheld. So a foreign ambassadorship
has become an expensive luxury, one
in which a man of moderate means
can have no thought of ihdulging.
The first question asked now regard
ing enthusiastically possibilities is not.
Is he capable? but, Is he rich? And
the applicant. if he is to be ambas-
sador to England or to France, must
be very rich indeed. Whitelaw Reid
our present representative at the court
of st. James, is said to spend close to
100000 a year in the maintenance of
the dignity of his country Mr.. Reid,
fortunately, is very wealthy man.
He can afford the luxury. He hap
pens also to be fairly able man,
which is more good luck for the Unit
ed States than good management by
the United States.
If ability and public service are to
be, as they should be, the first requi-
site qualifications in our ambassadors,
the country must take better care of
them. The first step in this direction
will be the purchase of homes. That
very fact, the fact that they live on
soil actually owned by the United
States, that the soil is American soil
in fact as well as in name, viii at
once give them better standing.
Other nations have long since adopted
this policy. The United States should
lag behind no longer.

Election or SENATORS.

In the current issue Of the Popular
Science Quarterly George n. Haynes
has an interesting article on the prog
ress that has been made in the Unit ed
States toward popular election of SEN
ators. Mr.. Haynes makes the state
ment that at some time in their his
tory all but two Of the states of the
Union have declared in favor of elect
ing senators by direct vote. In view
OF the practical unanimity of the de-
mand, it seems surprising that no ac-
ton looking toward the submission OF
a constitutional amendment has been
taken by congress.
Thirty-one state legislatures have
formally sent to congress the record
Of their approval of the proposition.
More than half of these have requested
that a constitutional convention be
called. Mr.. Haynes shows that, de-
spairing of congressional support,
many states have sought to secure di-
rect election of senators by Indirect
methods. About fifteen have laws or
party usage whereby candidates for
United States senator are nominated
IN primaries.
Mepbers of the legislature are not
legally bound to vote for primary cleo
ton or convention nominees, but they
are morally bound TO do so, and po-
liticaI destruction is the sure portion
of any legislator who fails. These
methods have. in mosb cases. been
fairly successful, but they are not and
cannot be as effective as would be a
legal popular election Of senators.
We are told that the first time a can
didate for a senatorship was nominated
by a popular convention was in the
case of Stephen A Douglas Of Illinois.
Mr.. Douglas was not specifically nom
mated, but his course was endorsed.
The Republicans put forth Abraham
Lincoln as their champion, and the
result, as viii be remembered, was a
series of debates that will never be
forgotten. Lincoln was not elected
senator, but as a direct result of those
debates he was nominated for and
elected to the presidency of the Unit
ed States two years later.
There is no getting away from the
fact that the demand for the election
of senators by direct vote, a Demo-
cratic doctrine, has grown IN favor i'm
mensely. The people want it and the
senate which has long been the STUN
bling block. cannot very much longer
Withstand the pressure.

MR. LANE SET RIGHT.

Commenting upon the appointment
of Franklin X. Lane of California to
the Interstate commerce commission,
The Herald a few weeks ago took oc-
casion. to say that the senate did well
in holding up Mr.. Lanes nomination
because Mr. Lane. though appointed as
a Democrat, had voted for Roosevelt in
1904. We pointed out that no mar who
voted for Roosevelt has any right to
call himself a Democrat, unless he
openly confesses his error and applies
for readmission TO the fold.
It appears that. in stating that Mr..
Lane voted for Roosevelt, we uninten-
tionaIIy did the Californian an injus-
tice. The assertion was made on what
seemed to be excellent authority. but
a better authority denies it. Writing
to The Herald under date of Jan. 2,
Mr.. Lane says
"Your editorial Of the 18th does me
a great injustice. I have voted and
spoken for all the Democratic nom
inees for president since 1884"
The Herald is perfectly willing to
take Mr. Lanes word for it. We regret
very much having classed him rs a
Republican when, as a matter of fact,
ne is a staunch Democrat. 1t is little
short of charging a Democrat with a
crime to charge him with being a Re
publican Goodness knows the last
presidential election left US precious

faith.

TWAIN AS A PRESCRIPTION.

The best advertising is often the kind
that comes without solicitation and
without expense to the individual who
is advertised. This observation be-
comes pertinent by reason of the SOL
emn warning that has been issued by
the British Medical Journal against
Mark Twain's books as a mental diet
Says the Journal:
"Convalescents must not read Mark
Twain's books. They not only cheer
but inebriate. Twain's books may pro-
woke side-splitting laughter and so re-
tard the union Of severed or lacerated
parts in the healing process"
Could anything be finer in the ad-
vertising line than that? Mr.. Clemens
should immediately write to the Jour
nal a letter Of thanks. All able-bodied
people who read the Journal and who
are not familiar with Mark Twain's
works viii Immediately want to try
them. Doctors will doubtless prescribe
them for patients afflicted with meIan-
choIia and kindred diseases. We fore
see an increased demand for the writ
ings of the great American humorist
among all classes.
Nobody viii begrudge Mr.. Clemens
the increase Long since he was &C
claimed - first among American hu-
morists and right well has he earned
the title. There is no sting in Mark
Twain's fun. It is pure, kindly, genu-
inc. The man was born to make 9th
ers merry. He passed his SEVENTEEN
birthday anniversary the other day,
but he has just begun to live. We are
hoping, and thousands of others are
hoping, that the evening of his life will
be a long one, that at least a score Of
years viii elapse before this doughty
Warrior shall say:
''Unarm me, Enos; the long days
task is done, and we must sleep; the
torch is out-lie down and stray no
