There is no more attractive section of the
science which deals with the highways and
byways of brain-action than that concerning
itself with phases impinging on the weird

ground of science and superstition lies in this
domain, where such subjects as telepathy,
spiritualism, ghost-seeing, hypnotism and

Some Hot Shot.

Jerry Botkin, the Democratic noml-
nee for governor Of Kansas struck
a key note with his audience at the
Democratic ratification meeting in
Columbus, when he called attention
to the fact that Garden methods had
grown to such stupendous proposition
In Congress under Joe Cannon's rule
that the Kansas Republican Party
Council in framing its platform last
passed the following.
1--WE believe that the rules Of the
National House of Representatives
should be so modified that bills may
be called up and considered upon tn
motion Of the members of the house,
and we recommend that our members
Of Congress favor such notifications
at the earliest possible date"
"The voters Of Kansas when they
elected their congressman didn't kno
said Mr.. Botkin, shat before Con;
gresham would dare to get up from
his seat and offer a motion or pre-
pare a bill, he musthave gone down
on his prayer bones and get Joe Can
mons permission before so doing"
"a better way" said Botkin. than
the way proposed BY the Republican
advisory council, and which will new
er be considered by Republicans aftel
election, Il to elect Democratic
president and q Democratic congress
and let the people rule"
When the Republican party council
Of Kansas recognizes that its own
national leaders have inaugurated AM
maintained abuses that calls for re-
buke from them, It's high time the

A Few Hints to Voters.

n rev TIlnto W NSsS
Before casting your vote with the
Republican party remember some OF
these things:
First-The failure Of the Repuoli-
can party to take steps to provide
for electing senators by popular vote,
and the Republican convention to en-
dorse the reform.
Second-The failure Of the Repub-
lican congress to pass a. bill provid-
ing for publicity Of campaign con-
tributions and the refusal Of the Re-
publica nconvention even to endorse
the reform.
Third-The failure Of the Repub.i-
can congress to pass a postal saw
ings bank bill and the hypocrisy of
the party in endorsing this reform,
which it had Just ignored In congress
Fourth-The passage by the Repub-
lican congress of currency bi |
which enables speculative banks to
convert all sorts of securities irto
currency and actually reduces the mai
gin Of safety for deposito,s inste d
of increasing 1t.
Fifth-The destruction of rep ee-
sentative government in the lower
house, where the Republican spea :
er and his committee on rules hay e
all power and not even a majolit>
can get vote on a popular bill (
the speaker refuses consent.
Sixth-The forty-nine per cent in
crease in the cost Of living unde
the Republican Dingley tariff a
Its trusts, while wages have incre
ed only nineteen per cent. =
Seventh-The refusal of the Rebuff
lican congress to amend this tariff
although its iniquities are admitted
and future revision has been relu, :
family promised by its friends after
the storm is over.
Eighth-The notorious fact admi
ted by Senator Aldrich, Republican
leader in the senate, that American
tariff protected con ems sell threi
products abroad in competition with
European factories at lower prizes
than they exact from American con-
sumers, and the re usal OF the re
publican house of representatives to
adopt an amendment to have our
government agents report on these
prices.
Ninth-The Republ can leaders PIE
tend they favor a ta.iff sufficient on
ly to compensate factories for the
difference between labor cost in
America and abroad, but the fat is
that the Republican tariff is mo: e
than sufficient to pay the whole Ia
Dor cost. On steel products the la.
Dor cost is fifteen per cnet and the
tariff is thirtytwo per cent The
Commoner.

As the campaign for the presidency.
takes On heat, the most conspicuous
didares, one Of whom b to be made
figures are seen to be, not the can
President, but the present incumbent
Of that high office who Is about 70
retire, and the comparatively inslg-
nificant person acting as treasurer
Of the Democratic committee.
MT. RooseVeit's impulse to occupy
the centre of the stage at all times
accounts sufficiently for his zeal
in his own behalf, but 1t does not &C
count for his lack OF discretion in Sc
lecting MIR. Haskell for elevation to
a niche in the Hall Of Fame Though
his denunciations.
To the voter Of average intelligence
this noisy exchange Of opprobrious
epithets between the President Of
the United States and the treasurer
OF party committee must be puz-
cling, not 10 say dBtracting. What
Is 1t all about? What bearing has
1t upon the choice of the next Pres
ident which is to be made in Noyem-.
Der? :.
The prevailing impression Is that
either Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Taft will be-
chosen. Indeed. there is no method
available under our system by which
votes can be made to count either
for Mr. Roosevelt or for Mr.. Haskell
But the White House stenographers
are kept busy taking down dictation
vituperadve Of Mr.. Haskell, and the
treasurer sends back as good as he
gets in language carrying the true
Hooseveltian SAVIOR and piquancy.
II the people had nothing more
important to think about, this epis-
tolary scrimmage. begun by President
Roosevelt would have a certain con.
troversial interest, painful in so
Tar as 1t involves derogation of
the dignity Of the presidential office,
but nevertheless titillating. But the
American people Just now are con.
cerned with the most important of
their political affairs, and they do
not care a copper whether Govern.
or Haskell vetoed child labor bill
In Oklahoma, or Theodore Roosevelt
rashly Endorsed an accusation of at.
tempted bribery on the part of Gov.
enor Haskell and failed to make
good when called upon to bring proof.
Governor Haskell may be the bad
man that the President says he Is.
Il SO. he must get out Of the Bryan
campaign. Mr.. Roosevelt may be the
biggest man on earth, the greatest
statesman, the punest patriot the
supreme Judge and arbiter Of morals
both public and private. But this has
nothing to do with 1t. The Ameri-
can people are not concerned with
either Roosevelt or Haskell Just at
this moment. They can get along
without either in their choice of a.
President in November.
In all this middle Of antagonisms.
the calm, dignified, strong and perth
nent Letter Of William ]. Bryan is the
one and only incident to which
the people can refer with pride and
confidence as truly American, worthy
Of an American President Boston

Fayors Woman Suffrage.

New York, December 4.-The at
titude of President Roosevelt on the
subject of woman suffrage, was dis
closed at meeting under the aus
pices of the National League for Civ
ic Education of Women. Rev. Ly-
man Abbott read a letter from Pres
ident Roosevelt: PERSONALLY l be-
lieve in woman suffrage says Mr.
Roosevelt, at the outset Of the letter
But I am not an enthusiastic advo-
cate of it because do not regard it
as very important matter. I am
unable to see that there has been any
special improvement in the position
of women in those states of the west
that have adopted woman suffrage,
as compared with those states ad-
joining them that have not adopted
it. 1 do not think that giving the wo-
men suffrage will produce any mark
ed improvement in the condition of
women" The president added: II
am for the reasons given rather what
you would regard as luke warm or
tepid in my support of it, because,
while believe in it, I do not regard
it as of very much Importance.
