all fattered when somebody worth

Fostering nmon mortals. Now, bad
temper Is always with US, In ourselves
or In those we'd like to love. Recent
ly a scientist of repute said that tenn
per may be sweetened by dosing and
named doses found In all medicine
chests. On the other side the Canadian
Journal of Medicine preserlbes the Sim
pie life.
The Canadian authority admits that
bad temper due to brain flag. nervous
exhaustion, overwork and physical
pain may be banished by rest or food
or a glass of wine or an opiate, but
says there is another cause for expio-
sions of temper that calls for different
treatment. indigestion Ii named as
the cause and diet and exercise as the
cure. Cut out meat. alcohol In all
forms and tea and coffee. says the
Journal. and take muscular exercise
on an empty stomach. This suggests
that the army argument that soldiers
can't fight on empty stomachs is sound.

The outlook for the success Of the
Republicans at the congressional cleo
lions next fall is so dubious that Con-
gresham Jesse Overstreet has resign
ed as secretary of the Republican con-
gressional committee. The reason he
gives is that the president has refused
to allow him to dictate federal APP
pointment that has always been con-
sidered perquisite Of the congress-
man from the indianapolis district.
Chairman Babcock also declines the
craftsmanship of the committee, and
he has no doubt arrived at that con-
clusion on account of serious doubt IL
the Insurance companies can be held
up for campaign fund contributions.
Democrats should "slt up and take no
tlce" and nominate their strongest men
as candidates for congress.

A Ner Political scheme.

Uncle Grosvenor, the Republican
representative from Ohio, must be hard
pressed by his party enemies for he
has resorted to the extraordinary pro
eeeding of urging his brother congress
men to sign petition to the Republic
an voters recitlng the great services
that General Grosvenor has performed
In behalf of the Republican party and
that to defeat him would impose great
loss upon the party. But still the free
aud independent Republicans of that
Ohio district may think they know best
--phe ssilue.id fepre.xqt them, AMI tney
are evidently disguised with Gros-
venor. In fact, there is pretty good
evidence that the whole country Is
tired Of politicians of the Grosvenor
stripe and are determined on change.
In Ohio the people had an opportunity
anst fan Of getting rid OF some of their
Republican servants who had outlast-
ed their usefulness and elected Demo
icrats In their places. and the revolution
has only just started. Democratic
congress is the pleasing prospect ahead.

sEnfamous'' transactions of the Re-

publican Committee.
When Judge Parker made the charge
just before the national election of
1901 that the Republicans were solic-
iting and receiving money for their
campaign from corporations President
Roosevelt took occasion to personally
reply. Among other things, he said.
IF the charges of Judge Parker were
true, then Mr.. Cortelyou and myself
are two of the most Infamous men in
the country" The exposure In the life

the Republican managers ana did pay

and Mr. Babcoek, the chairman of the
congressional committee. expended the
money and either themselves received

publican leaders are now, as they were
during the campaign. In constant COM

ance companies. his ''lnfamy." as the
president terms it. has evidently been
eondoned and Indeed rewarded Mr..
Cortelyon Is also still chairman of the
Republican national committee, and no
move has been made either by the pres
ident or Mr.. Cortelyou to return the
money which was fllchel from the fund
sacred to the widow and orphan.
As President Roosevelt is constantly
leeturing other people for departing
from the high ideals that should gov
ern their actions, he should at least,
having been the beneficiary of the cam
paign fund. see that restitution Is made
the more so as 1t Is stated that nearly
100000 of the money subscribed by
the corporations Is still in the hands, of
the Republican national committee.
This Is the true history of these pro-
ceedings as well as n few words can
tell them, and the question Is, What Is
the president going to do about 1t to
clear his own skirts from the Infamous
transactions?

A French Investigator of the faculty
of medicine of Paris proclalms coffee
as one of the most valuable and bene-
fetal articles for human consumption
because It aids digestion. oyercomes
fatigue and especially gives clear and
stable imaginative power to the brain.
In other words, mild stimulation Is not
to be condemned. He advises, how
ever, against giving coffee to children
under any conditions. because it Is
not food and the growing body is In
no need of stlmulants.

that any question involving the te

national defense
Evidence of the strength of the So
elallst party In the kaiser's realm Is
found In the recent appeal OF the chan
cellor of the empire for the suppression
of all discord among non-Soclalist par
ties. One means of consolidating the
opposition forces now under considera-
tiop Is the payment by the government
of salaries to the members of the
reichstag. At present the members
serve without pay from the public
treasury, but the Socialist party pays
its representatives out of party funds,
thus insuring constant attendance.

at the city hall auditorium to hear
the first prohibition addresses of
the campaign. ii. j. Norton presid-
ed at the meeting and introduced
the speakers. Jesse VanBuskirk
sang a few temperance songs, but the
audience vas disappointed in not
hearing Miss Riehsen. The piano in
the hall was removed during the
afternoon and her accompaniment
could not be played on the organ.
E. w. Chain made the principal
address of the evening and for an
hour he harangued the repub lican
and democratic parties and touched
up the United States government for
all its short comings from the year
1920 to the present date. His idea
is that the liquor traffic has to be
defeated in much the same way that
slavery was done away with politi-
cally-tbat is, either the democratic
or republican party will! have to
suspend operations for the appear
anance of a new party. which will
