The statement is given out that if only eighty-seven votes in Delaware had been differently distributed the re- suit would have been a Democratic Legislature and Democrats in the Uni ted States Senate. We do not know if this statement is thoroughly accurate, but if 1t is it shows what might have been" If things had been different. But whether this calculation is correct or not there is no doubting that there were a number of narrow margins be- tween success and failure in the recent elections. In various places the change of a few votes would have elected the other man, so small were the plura1ities received by the successful candidates. The line between success and defeat in elections is sometimes very dtmly de- fined.

That Joe" and Bill" were rounders going to prize fight, or liquor drummers who might meet at a place where corn or wheat is ground or logs made into lumber? Nothing of the sort.

"one week from today will be Christ mas morning" said The Columbus En- quirer-sun of last Sunday. the 18th inst. Of course 1t meant "one month" but the error is merely an example Of what often happens to the newspaper the editor wrote the sentence in hur- ry and substituted week" for month without noticing what he was doing. Then the compositor and the proof reader simply followed copy and let it go. While the readers of the paper Know what was intended to be said they will wonder why such a glaring error should pass unnoticed by all who had chance at 1t. It is merely an eV- idsnee Of human imperfection

 Mrs. sage's assertion that she is gO- Ing to give away the Russell Sage money as he would desire it given rath- sr leaves ts up in the air on the sub 5ect. We are informed on reliable au- thority that he actually gave what would ordinarily be considered large sums to charitable purposes, but we sre also assured that this was done at the argent solicitation of his wife ana not of his own motion. He had pre- cious little human feeling or human : sympathy, If accounts are true, and apparently had a constitutional disin- clination to give anything away.
 If this conception of MT. Sage is true. as we are assured 1t is. we are at loss to see how Mrs Sage can give away all his millions for charity ana yet give the money away as he would desire" As The Cincinnati Enquirer looks at 1t, If she only gives away the money as he would want 1t done the amount she gives will be about thirty cents day. We don't know whether the widow Is, or has been, holding some sort oE communication with the late departed, or has in some other way learned that he has changed his ideas about giving, and has informed the widow of his change of heart. but unless something of the kind has hap- pened we are unable to see now sne can conceive that she is following his desires. Maybe he realizes that he has no further use for the money and IS willing to have it scattered. If there is not something of the kind going on we must balieve that Mrs. Sage is off in her conception of what he would do,

 We may not look forward to a time when campaigning can be conducted without funds, but we certainly may look forward to a time when every where campaign funds will be handled in the full light of publicity.

The Norfolk Vlrginian-Pilot informs The Richmond Journal that there are scientists who believe that our first parents went out of Eden on all-fours, and The Journal replies with sup pressed profanity: We don't care A dam how he went out" Yes but you do. though. All good people. including The Journal, prefer to regard Adam as a physically perfect human being. and to imagine that he might have been a goat, or even a dinosaur, is repugnant to our better nature. He may have been bounced. or he may have gone out of the Garden in a hurry, not even talk ing time to pack his trunk, but we con tend that he walked out on two feet, as his successors continue to do yet The Journal should take more pride in fts first ancestor.

TAKE VINOL
it heals the bronchial tubes and remedies the cough

For centuries old-fashioned cod liver oil has been prescribed by physicians the world over for coughs, bronchitis, weak lungs and consumption, but many could not take, 1t on account of the use- less fatty. fshY oil which enveloped the medicinal curatfves, and 1t often failed to help those who could take if because 1t upset the stomach.
 Anyone can take the delicious cod liver preparation. Vinol. which contains all the medicinal curatives and body building elements of cod liver oil actu- ally taken from fresh cods' livers, but no oil or grease. and wherever old fashioned cod liver oil or emulsions would do good, VinOl will do far more good for all bronchial and lung troubles.
 We ask every person in Montgomery suffering from chronic colds. coughs, bronchitis or weak lungs to try Vinol on our guarantee. F. G. Fowler, Drug gist.
 NOTE While we are sole agents for Vinol in Montgomery. it is now for sale at the leading drug store in nearly every town and city in the country. Look for the Viuol agency in your town.

MAY BE ELIMINATED
University Of Utah May Cut Out In
tercollegiate Debates.

II is barely possible that intercollegiate
debates may DO emllminated at the Uni
yersity OF Utah next year. AT any rate.
IL is nn assured fact that not more than
two or probably only one contest Will be
held. This year three were arragned for,
and the competition for places has not
been such as to Justify the carrying on
of these debates.
In the last preliminary only three men
appeared for the preliminary, the num-
Der TO be chosen for the final debate AS
a result for tho first time In the history
OF the university. no preliminary contest
vas held To select the debaters for an in
tcrcollegilte contest. Fortunately all
tkree men happened to be capable de-
hators worthy of representing the uni
vcrsity.
Within the near future a preliminary
contest Is 10 be held to select representa-
tivcs for the debate with Idaho univer-
slty. which takes place IN May. At pres
cnt asplrnnts for this team are scarce.
Under this condition Prof. Roylance.
who Is at the head OF the debating. feels
that IL would be better to eliminate the
intercollegiate debates for year and
develop literary and debating societies In
which all the students would be willing
to compete His plan is to have inter-
society debates which are led up 10 by
numerous debates within the competing
societies.

For February. 1906. the record Is not

OF these cases the criminals were never

Note the Contrast.
For the month OF February, 1905. the
contrast is worthy OF note by every lover
OF law and order There have been only
six burglGries. four Of which were com
mitted by criminals who nave alrcaay
been convicted and are now paying tho
penalty for their offcnses There mas
been only one attempted hold-up, and tho
men identified the guilty ones have
been bound over for trial In the District

appearing upon the police records, VIII
be recalled by every observing CITIZEN
Last year one could scarcely walk from
Main to State street on First OF Second
South without being "mooched" by some
beggar or vagrnnt who had a hard luck
story to tell. Few, indeed. OF this class
now infest tho city. They were hangers
on about the gambling hells. and they de-
parted when the dyes were closed.
