Take a Walk.

The season of the year is with us
when diseases OF the lungs flourish; T;
pneumonia and consumption. They
luxuriate in vitiated air primarily.
This does not mean that the way to
health is to let a draft into a room
hat shall set up congestion OF throat
and lungs-give colds. in other
words 1t means that the rooms
should be kept we'll aired and that
one should take systematic daily ex-
ercise out of doors. Nothing takes
the place of this walk, walk, walk"
is the advice of the Chicago Board
Of Health in its current bulletin. 1t
is all concentrated in that and em-
.ohasized as strongly as words can do
it, There is a great general reason
for this If we reflect MON ent, AMI
il should cause us all to take heed
each for himself. and that is the gen.
eral temptation in our manner of life,
to forgo the exercise that is needed
for bodily vigor. The improved
means of communication, the numb
erless inventions that Tighten labor
meet us on every hand and all tend
to reduce physical activity and, in
deed mental effort This tendency
is SO strong, SO, constant that we
are only dimly aware of it, and it es-
tablishes for us a habit of re luced ex-
ertion that may result in enervation

It Was Oliver P. Morton.

The blast issued against William
Jennings Bryan by Col Charles A.
Edwards, secretary of the Democrat
ic congressional committee, contains
some good points, but the secretary
makes mistake when he says:
1T looks now as though the Dem
ic party will be true to the dehn-
ition of old Ben Butler when he said
that it was just like a man riding
backward in a railroad car, never see
ing anything until he passed it In
other words, it seems a safe bet that
it will again nominate Mr.. Bryan"
The figure quoted did not originate
with "old Ben Butler" but with Gov
ernor O. p. Morton. of Indiana His
exact language was: "The Democrat
ic party is like man riding back
ward who never sees anything till he
has passed it." The expression oc-
Cured in one of his speeches follow
ing the civil war period when politics
ran very high and the audience that
heard it for the first time shouted
with laughter at the aptness of the
simile.

Attack on Christmas Gifts.

mo one OF our Christian festivals
has been SO thoroughly paganized rs
Christ tmas." said the Rev Willard
Brown Thorp. in the prelude to a
sermon in South Congregational
church Chicago.
He deprecated the practice of
Christmas giving, saying it encour-
ages wasteful extravaganza and
makes the festival not one of char
ity but cupidity.'
Much Christmas giving he said,
''is not giving at all, but simply part
OF an elaborate exchange of presents
II is this which has dragged the festi-
val down to its present almost pagan
level
"He best keeps the birthday of
Jesus who keeps it in the spirit of
Iesus. confirming himself to the simp-
lest tokens of personal remembrance,
and making his substantial gifts take
the form of things that are really
needed, and go to those who can
make no return"

Daughter 10 Nominate BRYAN.

AT the convention in Denver in
July the Democrats are planning to
have Ruth Bryan Leavitt place in
nomination for the presidency her
father, William Jennings Bryan.
Friends of Mrs. Leavitt desire that
she shall have the distinction of being
the first woman to have speaking
part in the national convention halls.
They are actively engaged in a cam
paign to have her elected as one of
the Colorado delegates to the con-
ven;ion that she may be officially rec
ognized If she is not elected she
will be allowed proxy.
Milton Smith, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee,
of Colorado, will call together the ex-
ecutive committee next month TO fix
a time for the holding Of the state
convention and to perfect arrange
ments. Mrs Leavitt's name has been
practically agreed upon. The state
convention will be held the last week
in May or early in June, and Color
ado's full quota of delegates will be
elected at that time.
Colorado, being woman suffrage
state, will send one and possibly two
women to the convention

Why So Inharmonious7

The bloody fight in the lower house
of congress between John Sharp Will
liams of Mississippi and David A. De
Almond of the state of Missouri, is
not mere personal difficulty; IT is
largely political Both are Demo
crats-the former in fact, the latter
in name. Williams is an able legis-
lator and an accomplished gentleman
-broadguaged and scholarly. Dear
mond is mere partisan of the "get
there, Eli" persuasion. With him the
end justi6es the means. Williams is
statesman; DeArmondia mere poll
tician. Envy and jealousy are at the
bottom of whatever hostility to Will
liams may be found on the Demo
cratic side 81 the house. Unable to
adjust themselves to the broad -guag-
ed craftsmanship of Williams, his en-
emies in the Democratic camp break
out in open revolt every now and
then. All this goes to show that
there is still an "irrepressible con-
hict" on in the Democratic camp. If
there were unity of purpose, COM
munity of interest, mutual aim
these frictions would not occur as of
ten as they do.-South Bend Times.

Land Frauds Unearthed.

Investigation by the Senate sub
commiutee into the land frauds per-
perated on the Indians having land
in Oklahoma reveals the fact that
great wrongs have been done the In
dians.
The committee has agreed upon
the report, which shows several
shady transactions which took place
near the Mexican border, where "a
tribe OF Kickapoo Indians were liv-
ing at the time the law was passed
allowing them TO sell their holdings
in Oklahoma The report will show
that a number of wh1e men formed a
partnership and raised capital with
the express purpose OF cheating the
Indians out of their lands. One case
is cited where land worth $25O,OOO
was secured at an expenditure Of
about $4,000
The report will also state that an
Indian arrested on the charge of
murder was released after he had
signed a deed conveying land worth
$4,000 for $4,000.
The subcommittee met Thursday
to agree upon recommendations to
the Senate.
Regarding the sale of liquor in the
Indian Nation. Commissioner of In
dian Affairs Leupp, in his annual re-
port. says that the sale OF liquor in
the nation has greatly diminished
since the employment OF special offi
GERS Leupp and his deputies have
arrested or caused to be arrested, 49l
vaolaters of the whisky law. The re-
port says that gamblers are largely
responsible for the sale of hquor ami
Leupp has secured the arrests and
conviction of ifty-two gamblers and
destroyed forty-nne gambling
houses and collected $4,000 in fines
All this despite the fact that a stand
ing reward of $4,000 offered by out
laws for his assassination hangs over
him.

Mining Horrors.

1t is generally agreed that there
are so many railroad accidents in the
United States" and the several min
ing horrors which it has been the
painful duty of the press to record
within the short space of three weeks,
coupled with official data on the min
ing disasters and fatalities of recent
years, abundantly demonstrate that
there are, likewise, too many mine
accidents in this country.
Such appalling disasters as have
occurred in Alabama, West Virginia
and Pennsylvania in the last fortnight
or so,assuredly cannot fail TO impress
the most RECKLESS" among us with
the need of searching Investigations,
definite conclusions as to the causes
of and responsibility for each OF the
catastrophes and explicit recommen.
dations concerning future safety leg
;slat;on or future enforcement of such
mining laws as already exist in the
several states.
1t is neither just nor serviceable to
indulge in hasty generalizations
touching the mining inspection or the
protective laws of the states on which
attention is just now concentrated 1t
is more purposeful to emphasize the
grave duty that now confronts the
federal and state governments. If
England has more efficient safeguards
-as, indeed, appears to be the case
they should be earnestly studied with
the view OF the earliest possible in
PRODUCTION of them in the mining dis
tricts OF this country. In addition to
sufficient, modern and effective laws
governing entrances and exits, ventil
alton and so on in the mines, every
possible effort should be made to Sc
cure inspectors who will inspect, who
will demand observance of the laws,
regardless of all personal of political
considerations. Careless and "lenient"
inspectors should be held criminally
responsible for fatal results of their
negligence. There should be less chat
ter about the ''bIman factor" and
more resolute effort to prevent in
competence and responsibility on
our railroads and in our mines.-Rec-
ord Herald

Currency Reform.

The discouraging thing about the
outlook for currency reform is tlat
there seem to be lew men at Wash
ington who know anything at all
about the questions involved. Pos
sibly there is some cheer to be got
out of the fact that most of them ad-
init their ignorance, for that may
near that they are willing to study
and investigate, that they are open
10 z;.se light from whatever source it
may come But still it is not credit
able to us that we have so few men
in public who have any really scien-
tihc and expert knowledge on the
subject The President had practi-
cally nothing to say of it in his late
30,0O0-wort message. Secretary Cor
telyou, the head of the Treasury De-
partment, was careful to say that he
had no plan, and his whole tone was
tha. of man who is very much at
sea Possibly ii is not too much TO
say that Congress hesitates to act
because it fears to do so-not lest it
affect the result OF the approaching
presidential campaign, but lest it
should make some serious mistake.
Thus far only two classes of states
men stand revealed. There are those
the ones Of whom we have just
spoken-who admit total ignorance,
and those who are disposed to sit at
nch, of Rhode Island, whose chief
concern seems to be to make an ar
tihcial market for bonds and other
securities by making them available
as a basis for circulation These lat
ter men. are, OF course. quite as ig-
norant as the former, though they do
not admit it. Neither class has any
real knowledge of the great questions
that are to be decided Nor will it do
to rely wholly on the suggestions of
the bankers, for they, too, are dehc
lent in information concerning the
great principles on which any wise
reform must be based 1t is really
a question for economists and scien-
t:hc and theoretical financiers, and
not one for politicians, or even for
mere men of affairs. For the subject
is first of all scentihc-as truly SO as
chemistry or physics-Indianapolis

Temperance Army To Support Hanly

S. E. Nicholson, who is at Wash
ington representing the National
Am.i-Saloon League before Congress,
Tuesday gave out the following state
ment. which is of interest through
out Indiana:
The officers of the National Anti
Saloon League have observed GER
tain newspaper paragraphs which in
dicate that there is a disposition to
punish Governor Han'y for going to
Columbus, D., in the recent campaign
and making speech in which he ad-
vocated the election of Judge DunI
can, the Democratic candidate for
mayor of that city
THE National Anti Saloon League
officers have discussed the possibility
OF an effort to injure Governor Han
ly in lis standing as party man and
a pubic servant on account OF this
act and they have decided that if the
issue is raised, either in the imme-
date or rhe remote future, the whole
force OF the Anti-Saloon League or
ganization shall be used TO back him
up. 1t must be apparent to every
BODY that the Anti-Saloon League
organization is very powerful in In
diana and we are satisfied that if the
issue is drawn we shall be able to
effectively organize, not only every
county. but every community in the
state for the defense of Governor
Hanly
"If there is any disposition on the
part of the Republican organization
or the partisan press of Indiana TO
punish Governor Hanly for his CO.
lumbus speech, we would hold forth
to those who are engaged in this un-
dertaking the admonition that they
are simply fooling with fire, with the
inevitable consequence that sooner or
later they will get burnt. An analy-
sis of the election in Columbus shows
that 1t was not in any sense a par
tisan campaign All of the uptown
wards, which are Republican, went
Democratic, and all Of the whisky
wards, which are Democratic, went
Republican, showing that the issue
was purely a moral one, and that
Governor Hanly stood with the Re-
publicans of Columbus for clean and
decent government"
