speakine of candidates. thers

Speaking of candidates, there is
 a good deal of quiet amusement
 among the politicians in Washington
 and there are a good many of them still there. over the solemnly modest
 way in which Senator Knox received
 the endorsement of the Pennsylvania convention on the launching of his presidential boom. Senator Knox is a good man in great many ways and is personally we'll liked by many. But it is thoroughly understood among practical politicians that his boom is being worked up by corporate inter- ests as a stalking horse in the fight that the managers of the republican party are afraid to make openly against any man of President Roose- veIt's choice. Senator Knox was the successor of Mat Quay. probably the most brazenly machine made politi- elan of machine-ridden Pennsylvania. Boies Penrose had the practical ap- pOintment of a man to succeed Quay and was hesitating between several possible candidates when H. c. Prick and President Cassat of the Penn sylvania railroad walked into his ozce and said that they wanted Knox appointed There was not a moments hesitation. Knox was giv- en the place and rumor has it that the place cost somebody s250. coo that went where it would do the most good. Nov if Knox should ever De

Curious, But True.

An old time seamstress is responsi- ble for a piece of information, tho truth of which has been proved. She says that in the sewing room should be kept q piece of smooth walnut board. such as a table-leaf. for press- ing purposes. If the pressing be done on this, rather than on that usually provided, no dsmpening will be neces sary, as walnut wood absorbs sum cient moisture for the purpose. which is given out again under the influence of the heat of the iron. And no mat ter how much one's board Is used to- day. the next day the moisture VII be there again just the same. Of curse If one uses discarded tsbleleaf, one must be very careful to avoid the var. nished side.

The democratic party, through its leaders in 1888. devised the only con- stitutional or feasible plan for con- trolling interstate and foreign com- merce. On January 30, of that year, MT Rayner introduced in the house of representatives a bill based on the commerce clause of the constitution, and on August 14 of the same year MT Reagan introduced similar bill in the senate, providing for the con- trol of trusts, and defining a trust, and subsequently, MT Bland of Mis- souri offered an amendment, provid- ing that every contract or agree ment for transportation of persons or property from one state or territory into another shall be deemed unlaw- ful within the meaning of this act" (21 Record, 4104). This amendment was aimed at the railroad pools" and the Standard oil trust. It pass ed the lower house unanimously, but was partly stricken out by the senate. It would have rendered the so-called Sherman antitrust act, which was really the Rayner-Reagan bill. entire ly effective. All that is now needed is to incorporate the principle of the old Bland amendment into the anti trust law and increase the penalties for its violation by making such violation a felony and punishing by the criminals found guilty.

The death of DR.. Weigel. surgeon
Of Rochester. from a disease due to
the constant use Of the X-rays makes
the fourth who has lost his life from
this cause, says the Christian Advo-
cate.
The others were an assistant Of
Thomas Edison, a Boston physician
and woman of San Francisco named
Fleischman. In the case of DIR. Wei
gel since 1901, when his right hand
and all but the thumb and finger
of the left hand were removed. there
had been four operations in trying
to save his life. The first removed
a part of the right shoulder; then a
part of the muscles covering the right
breast.
Mystery completely envelops the
cause of death, the disease being I'M
known to medical science. though it
is believed to involve some great prin-
ciple of life. DR.. Weigel was presi-
dent of the Rochester Academy of
Medicine and the American Ortho-
paedic society.

The mother was profoundly touched.
She could find no further words to

of the Chickens.

A lady who had recently moved to
the suburbs was very fond of her first
brood of chickens. Going out one at.
ternoon she left the household in
charge of her eight-yearold boy. Be-
fore her return thunderstorm came
up. The youngster forgot the chicks
during the storm, and was dismayed
after it passed to find that half of
them had been drowned. Though
fearing the wrath to come. he thought
best to make a clean breast of the
calamity. rather than leave it to be
discovered.

his mother had returned mamma, six

A gentleman recently returned from
that quiet little Maryland resort.

And the worst of it was that he did
not know they were sensational at all.
He was out calling the other evening,
and the conversation started with the
shirtwaist man. who, the returned
wanderer said. was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort.
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted OF
going without hats. This is the way
he told 1t to an interested company:

going about just the same. The men
never wear coats; they go about In
Just their shirts and trousers. and the

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri-
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
so pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors of
the Regular or Allopathic school, OF
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice Of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice Of os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of SO many intelli-
gent people is SO firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session OF
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed
hope that a larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In its annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however. particularly II the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$1,000 are fully constituted mem
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their affiliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at $111,-
1871 and its total assets are $751;
567.S9. Its liabilities, at the time OF
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting. amounted to only
$21,906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about $4,000 a year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation. compe.
all of the people of the United States
to pay Doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.
