Sleep and the Inventors.

Inventor Edison claims that me,
sleep too much, that four or five hours
Il day is enough. Inventor Telsa, OF
the other hand, claims that it is be-
cause men do not sleep enough thai
they fail to live to 100 or 12o years
the age their constitution seems tt
warrant them.
Telsa says that in sleep all vital wear
and tear ceases, tha, IN sleep, in fact
the ravages Of wear and tear are re-
paired. Hence they who sleep mucr
do not waste their time. for the longer
they sleep. the longer they will live.
He points to Gladstone, whose mind
remained keen and his frame powerful
up to great age. Gladstone, he says
slept seventeen hours day.
He points to the negroes many OF
whom are middle-aged at 20, and at SO
are Still far from old. The negroes
sleep all they can. They average thir-
teen or fourteen hours abed day.
The whites, Telsa holds should dc
the same. When not working, they
should be sleeping. His philosophy of
sleep is summed up in the paradox:
The more you sleep. the more hours
you'll be awake

Taking the Glitter Out of War

War is fast losing its glitter. Khaki
displaces blue or scarlet. Flags
are unknown i'm battle. The French
army has just banished the drum and
now there is talk of abolishing the
saber. Meanwhile war songs grow
rarer and rarer. Most modern wars
are too short to generate songs. All
this grieves and scandaliZes the paint
ers, the poets and the playWrights, but
causes the peace people TO rejoice with
huge joy. Claiming. We're he still alive

used to declare that the love of war
fare sprang partly, even largely. from
the impression made upon small boys
by gorgeous uniforms, gay banners,
flashing sabers. the throb of the drum
and the contagious fervor of war songs.
Romance cast its glamor over that
dirtiest of jobs, the job of killing. 1t

ley Warner put it. we who despised
killing in plain clothes honored killing

Turkish Women's Wells.

"In Constantinople, every evening,
the women of the harems drive with

Sometimes wells in Constantinople
become so outrageously thin and trans

about them. He prescribes certain

THE WEALTH OF THE coLoReD RACE.

A supplementary report of the cen
sus of 1900, just issued shows that the
value of the farms of the United States
cultivated by negroes was $499,941, 234,
all but small fraction of the amount
representing farms in the south. Build

PERKINS our OF ir.

Whatever be the result of the COM
ing republican convention in Iowa
George D. Perkins will not be the
nominee. His own faction decided
nearly a month ago that he was impos-
sible and since then Montgomery.
Henry. Fremont. Bremen. Johnson and
Iowa counties have been carried by the
anti-Cummins faction without in
structing their delegates for Perkins.
In Grinnell last week in a caucus fight
engineered by men close to Ed Hunter,
the opposition ballot was headed
Roosevelt Republicans" while the
Cummins ballot read For Cummins.
This was done in a caucus held on Fri
day, Immediately following the speech
Perkins had made there on Monday
evening. There was not a single bal
lot printed For Perkins or seen in
that caucus. In Jasper county yester-
day when tricky lawyer representing
Ed Hunter, organized a rump conven-
put thru typewriter program no
instructions for Perkins were even sug-
sested.
The fact has become apparent to
politicians everywhere that the Ed
Hunter campaign is not being wased
to secure the nomination of Mr.. Per-
kins and this is the best thing that can
be said for Mr.. Perkins in this cam
paigr. Hunters fight is the fight of
the railroads which supply Hunters
campaign fund, a fight to beat Cum
Minis The delegates wanted are DEL
egates who will vote for anybody eX-
cept Cummins. When men come from
Des Moines and go to driving rural
precincts they do not argue for Per-
kins but merely against Cummins. The
leading dailies controlled by the Hun
ter Blythe crowd do not eXtol the vir-
tues of Mr. Perkins but cry for har-
mony. They fear for the disruption OF
the party and then proceed to take a
fall out Of Cummins.
managers of his own campaign. Some
other man will be nominated if not
Cummins. Everywhere one hears
standpatters admitting that they are
not for either Cumnllns or Perkins
They prefer "some other good man.
Whether Shaw will be presented at
the last moment or Trewin or Waite"
I. Smith or Lacey is not apparent. but
Shaws eagerness to cancel eastern
dates and rush into this campaign is
suggestive If Shaw could be nomin-
ated and elected governor of Iowa this
ton from Iowa for the presidential
nomination in 1908 almost without A
fight. If Perkins should be nominated
and elected Shaw's chances in 1908
would be favorable but he would have
to make hard fight for his own state
IF Cummins should be nominated and
elected. which he will be If he lives !
Shaw will have an uphill fight to make
for Iowa in 1908. At Sioux Falls S. d
on June s. Shaw himself told tie re-
porter for the Press that he was afraid
his friend Perkins had an uphill fight
saying, Il tell you, it pays a man to
stand for principle and make his at
titude so pronounced and clear that his |
record will be consistent Allison has
made it clear that no federal job had |
been procured from him with which to
buy Kretschmer and politicians now
that it was Shaw who had |
agreed to furnish this kind of coin.
Hence it is that the king makers have

it. Keep your eye on Shaw.
