The Rockwell City Advocate says
that the governorship contest is yet
no mans victory, and although it con-
cedes that the chances favor Cummins
at present, it points out that there are
SO many conventions yet to be held,
and most of them in territory that
has heretofore been opposed to the
governor, that there Is still a strong
chance for Perkins to win in the end.

A Lah0r Resolution.

That English leader who remarked
that the success recently scored by the
labor parties in England is nothing
less than revolution may be taking
counsel Of his timidity, but it seems to
be a fact that the rulers of England
have now a new force to deal with
For the first time English statesmen
must .1A,e a solid rank Of workingmen,
determined to stand for their class and
capable Of doing so. 1t is even declar-
ed that If the new British premier,
Campbell- Bannerman, had not made a
truce with the labor element before the
election by taking its representative,
John Burns, into the cabinet there
would have been a third party In par.
lament sufficient to hold the balance
Of power and dictate legislation. There
are workingmen's votes enough in Eng
land, If concentrated, to dominate the
political situation without coalition
with other parties.
This movement Of the laboring
masses in England has its parallel in
Germany, where the rising Socialistic
vote demonstrates the independence of
ehe workingmen. The growth of the
Socialist Labor party in Germany nat
urally has given the kaiser much con.
Germ. and well II might. The remarka.
BILE showing Of strength by the English
labor element will stimulate the Ger.
man Socialists, already known for their
intelligence and aggression. In France,
too, the Socialist element in union with
the Radicals scored triumph in the
choice Of Fallieres to the presidency of
the republic, a suggestive circumstance
at this time of widespread democratic
impulse among the masses and CORE
spending monarchial tendency in upper
circles. In Russia the force Of the Ia
Dor movement is still an unknown
quantity, but the political unrest pro-
voked by it the last year shows it to be
factor, and so in every country
abroad there are signs that labor is or
ganizing with the direct object Of gain
ing political power. With the ballot for
a weapon labor can win. By taking up
the club it is in danger of having it's

Foreign Food Swindlers.

The necessity for national protection
against impure foods is self evident in
the mind of the editor Of American
Medicine A recent issue Of that paper
says:
The department Of agriculture Is wisely
conducting a war against foreign foods
imported under false names. Foreign
makers of foods and beverages have toe
long looked upon us as legitimate prey
good things-and have grown rich upon
our insane desire to buy something made
in France or Germany.
The average American is said to enjoy
being sw!ndled in little things now and
then-even the wrong end Of a horse
trade has its compensations. But when it
comes to being swndled as a regular
thing by a Frenchman or a German it's a
different matter-a reflection upon our
national intelligence.
The paper adds that government in
spections Of foods are increasing public
confidence and actually enhancing
trade in preserved foods instead Of
hampering it. Thus the self interest Of
packers and dealers may rally, then,
to the side Of those who are battling
for the public health.

Now and then, not often, ghostly aps
pearances or sounds are explained to
the peasants satisfaction. Thus in the
county Of Durham "Gabriel's hounds"
were for long. long years believed to
shrek and howl through the air on
dark nights and to forebode death to
him who heard and saw them. But
prosaic modern research proved them
to be nothing but flocks Of wild geese
migrating southwark on the approach
Of winter and choosing dark nights for
their journeys. Similarly the ghost OF
Irbydale, In the Lincolnshire wolds, a
goblin who terrified travellers at night
with its heartrending cries and who
was said to be witch who had been
worried to death by dogs in long past
age, has been shown to be nothing but
an owl. On the other hand, no true
Cornishman will ever be induced to re-
linQuish the belief that the spirit OF
King Arthur still haunts the ruins of
Tintagel in the shape Of a white enough.

StrOpping a Razor.

'"The idea that a razor needs frequent
grinding or honing is not in keeping
with my experience" said a man who
shaves himself. II have a razor that (
got ten years ago which has never b zen
out of my possession, never ha' any
other treatment than stropping, and Is
today the sharpest and best OF six. A
razor can only be kept in this condition
without hOning, however, by using a
hard strop-that is, one which Is rigid
instead of flexible and not the kind
that makes an arc Of circle when you
use it. This latter sort will sharpen a
razor for awhile, but it also makes the
edge round until at last it ceases to cut.
Why do l have six razors? Well, that
Is to use them in regular turn and give
each one Of them rest. 1 shave every
day, which find the least troublesome
method, and If l use the same blade
every day it would soon play out. The
edge Of a razor needs rest, just like
every other machine"

The Will to Die.

Two or three years ago, in Lanca-
shire town, while a fair was In prog
ress, to the proprietor Of a steam
roundabout there came shopkeeper
whose wife was lying supposedly ut
the point of death. Thou mum stop
thy organ" he said. "Why?" asked
the other. "Thou mum stop it, l tell
tha' My missus cawn't dee" was the
reply, a dialogue for which the writer
can youch.
A clergyman had placed on record a
similar instance. Visiting sick pa
rishioner, he was told by the doctor that
the sickrOom was full of mourners. as
surfing the woman that she was about
to die. And the woman was dying
from suggestion, though organically
there was not the least reason why she
should. The clergyman entered the
room and cleared out the doleful ones.
You're not going to die" he said.
"What! Am not dying, parson? Then,
thank God, won't!' That woman was
well in next to no time and round at
the vcarage thanking its master for
having saved her life.-St.. James Ga
