OUR EX-PRESIDENTS,
This is the First Time Since Jeffer-
son County Has Been With
out One.

Philadelphia Press.
For the first time since the begin
ming of jefferson administration
this country has no living cxpresident
Washington died in the third year of
John Adams's S administration, but
Adams lived through the administra-
tons of Jefferson, Madison and Mon
roc, and died on the same day as
Thomas jefferson, July 4, 1926, in
the administration Of John Quincy
Adams. The Presidents who succeed
ed Washington were, as Il rule, long
lived, and the Presidents between
jackson and Lincoln did not serve
more than a single term, so that for
Il considerable period were three or
four cN-presidcnts living in each pres
i,lcncy.
Lincoln began his administration
with five cx-prcsidcnss living, viz.
buchanan, Pierce, Fillmore. Tyler and
Van Buren,. Grant began with four
EN-prcsidcnts, but in the last year of
llaycs's administration there was but
one living cX-prcsilcnt, and that was
Gen. Grant. In Cleveland s first year,
Grant, Hayes and Arthur were the
living cX-prcsidcnts. During his see
ond term Benjamin Harrison was the
only cX-prcsidcnt, and since 1907
Cleveland has held alone the honorary
and honorable position Of ex-presid-
cnt Of the United States.
With the presidency going into
younger and more vigorous hands, as
is the present drift, cx-prcs'dents are
likely again to increase in number,
but the relative rapidity Of their
death IN recent years suggests that
the strain and stress of the prrsidcn-
tial Office has become scvcrcr tax on
the vitality of the incumbent than it
was in the earlier years Of the Re-
public.

Dog Absorbed Her Rheumatism.


Baltimore American.
Mrs. o. S. Nelson, Of this city, was
cured of Il very severe ease of rheu-
matism recently in Il very peculiar
manner.
She had been so cadly affected
with this ailment in one Of her arms
that she could not sleep nights, and
was greatly distressed. After trying
various remedies and applying var
ious liniments, she had about given
up hope of being cured when relief
came to her in an unexpected man
ner.
She had little dog which some
times slept by her side in the bed,
and she found that the pain was
greatly lessened by resting her arm
against the dogs body. She persist
ed in this, and noticed that the pain
grew constantly less. Eventually the
rheumatism left her arm completely,
and appeared to so into the body of
the dog, as it became i'll, and seemed
to suffer great pain, and was finally
killed to relieve it of it's misery.
Mrs. Nelson believes that the rhcu-
matlsm went from her arm to the
dog, and gives the little animal the
credit for curing her of her ailment.

The duty of the Legislature is
plain, The solemn pledges given
to the people in a matter touch
ing the fundamental condition of
republican government must be
redeemed. This will not have
been done until there has been
placed upon the statute books a
law which, while complying with
conttitutional requirements, will
sacure the substantial relief
sought, The people have de.
manded the substance instead of
the mblance of participation
in the nomination of candidates.
Their demand can be answered
only by the enactment of laws
which will restore TO the people
control of the entrances to public
life. 1t is your duty to see that
this is accomplished, SO that the
voters shall have the power not
merely of electing but of select
ing their candidates.
