Where Democracy Showed Strength
faign, the Democratic party developed
surprising strength in the most impor-
tant of the recent State elections.
In Ohio and Indiana the Democrats
elected their candidates for Governor
and may be found in control of the Leg
islature. In Minnesota they were prac-
tically conceded the Governor. In Hi
nols they nearly secured the Governor,
and in New York they failed by COM
paratively narrow margin.
Mr.. Stevenson failed, and Mr.. Chan
Ter failed, chiefly because of the default
OF Mr.. Bryan. Thousands could not
feel the confidence in Mr.. Bryan they
felt In Mr. Taft Their prudence
moved them to vote for Mr.. Taft. And.
in colloquial phrase, ''the tall went with
the hide"
A notable feature of the Democratic
successes within State lines is that the
successful, and nearly successful, Demo
cratic candidates are known to the ma
ton at large as Democrats who are not
radical--who are rather of the Cleve-
land school, who do not sympathiZe
with Organism.
Mr.. Harmon in Ohio and Mr.. Steven
son in Illinois are everywhere recog-
nized as fine types of the historic De-
| mocracy-of the Democracy of Tildcn
and Cleveland, which, whatever its
faults. was admitted to be capable Ct
managing national affairs. And Mr..
Chanler and Mr. Johnson, though much
younger. and differing as a new gen.
Grafton must from an older. are dis
tinctly of the same type
From all this 1T is evident that tie
Democracy Is bankrupt only as ma
tional party and as a Bryanite party.
Within State lines, and on State issues,
1t commends respect and can win sc.
cess on its merits
And it follows that TO become again
a strong national party. with fair
chance to win on its merits, the Democ-
racy must show national leaders Of the
same type as Harmon and Stevenson
| and Johnson.
That 1t may be able TO do so is tie
sincere hope Of every thinking and Ia
triotic American. For Ii Is inconvon-
lent. and 1t is even dangerous, for a ma
ton of popular government to have
| only one party which sober-minded men,
| when the hour comes and the decision
must be made. are bound to feel can
be trusted with the great business of
overnment.-Chlcago Inter Ocean.

WEAKNESS or GREAT STRENGTH.
Perfect Health Not Consistent with
High Muscular Development.

II is curious fact that perfect
health is not consistent with high mus
cular development. Professional ath-
letes and all men who acquire phe-
nomenal strength seem to lose In
length OF life and activity what they
gain for few years OF record-break-
Ing powers. l was privileged to see.
on several occasions, Louis Cyr, the
Canadian giant, >lo broke all weight
lifting records. He weighed 800
pounds. and was all solid bone and
muscle. ! saw him hold his wife out
at arms length with one hand. saw
him raise 300-pound barrel from the
floor to his shoulder. using only one
hand and arm. saw him get down
on all tours under platform bearing
1000 pounds Of big men selected from
the audience, and he raised the plat
form with his mighty back. Yet this
remarkable man was muscle-bound
and crippled at 81. when he should
have been at the height Of his wonder
full powers.
Kennedy, the oarsman, who won q
diamond belt for lifting with his hands
from the floor, absolutely without APP
paratus, 1,000-pound weight, was used
up and crippled before he was 40. Dowd,
professional strong man and teacher
OF athletics, wore himself out and died
at H-Metropolltan Magazine.

Water as a Headache Cure.

The best cure know of for head
ache is to wash your face" said a
bright looking man. Yes, | believe
suddenly to cleanse your face with
cold water will open up the pores and
probably start the blood in circula-
ton, and know 1t will relieve you
Of headache In jiffy have tried
II myself a great many times and have
always been successful. There Is
something in the nature of stimulant
In the cold water treatment that
braces me right up. My head when II
aches gets hot and throbs, and the
water makes II cool and fresh. have
a theory, too, that people don't wash
their faces nearly enough. anyhow, in
these days of dusty asphalt streets
and soft coal smokes. People will be
much better of with their pores kept
open and clear of all dust and dirt,
and there is nothing so good for the
skin as soap and water"

ADMlaEs NERVE OF FAIR SEX.
Masculine Observer Comedies Their
Superiority In One Respect.

"The time | most admire woman"
said the gray-headed man, lis when
she tries TO get bill changed. ! ad-
mlre her then for her splendid cour-
age. Give woman a ten-dollar bill
that she wants changed and she will
walk unconcernedly into any shop In
town and request the proprietor to
give her two flves or ten ones or what
ever denomination she happens to
need. She never offers TO buy any
thing to compensate him for his
trouble. ! have known my wife TO get
change from q grocer, butcher. a
druggist, stationer, cigar dealer
and florist without spending one
cent In their stores. And all those
tradesmen were perfect strangers.
She simply wanted change and walked
In and asked for It.
Contrast her calm serenity with the
dishrag will Of the average man in
need Of change. He would rather be
shot than just ask for II. He will buy
something as an excuse for the trans
action, even II It Is something that he
couldn't make use OF this side OF
doomsday and that he has to throw
away the minute he turns the corner
In the matter OF economy alone II Is
pity he can't be as brave as O
woman"

The Freaks Of Disease.

No medical man needs to be told
that even disease has its freaks. and
that recovery has occasionally been
brought about by means inexplicably
trivial. One Of the most remarkable
of these unaccountable eccentricities
OF disease took place at Halver, in
Westphalia. The case was that OF a
boy who. as the result Of very heavy
fall backward on his head while skat-
ing. had for a year and half been
deaf and dumb. One morning his
brother went to awake him. and find
ing him sleeping heavily tapped him
lightly on the forehead. To his amaze
ment the deaf and dumb boy awoke
with loud cry. Both speech and
hearing had been restored.-Kansas

A Ready Answer.

The captain OF schooner that
trades between New York and Savan-
nah is noted for his wit. and on every
occasion that offers he looses his
shafts OF humor. to the chagrin and
embarrassment of its target. Sooner
or later, the stringer gets stung. and
this chronic pun artist is no exception
to the rule.
On one occasion. when about two
days out from New York, he APP
preached group Of sailors who were
washing the forward deck. and.
singing out a big raw.boned Irishman
who was experiencing his first taste
of sailors life, he gravely asked: Can
you steer the main mast down the
forecastle stairs?" Quick as flash
came the reply. "Yis, sor; can, II you
will stand below and coil 1t up"

But there is one newspaper. reporter

He showed up so late at his office
the other morning that his city editor
inquired somewhat sarcastically
whether he thought he was working
on morning newspaper.

tan shoes with his slender cane,
Aecked a bit OF dust from his clothes
and struck the city city editor dumb

Certain adjectives are reserv ed for

ACCOMPLISHMENTS,

Every human being must put up
with the coolest civility, who has
neither the charms of youth nor the
wisdom OF age. Neither is there the
slightest commiseration for decayed
accomplishments: no man mourns
over the fragments of dancer, or
drops tear on the relics of musical
skill--they are flowers destined to
perish; but the decay of great talents
Is always the subject of solemn pity,
and even when their last memorial is
over, their ruins and vestiges are re-
garded with pious affection. Sidney

How the Turk Keeps Time.

There is one custom at least, in the
Ottoman dominions in Europe, that
causes foreign visitors great deal of
trouble and confusion. This is the
Turkish system of reckoning time. A
Turk holds that the day begins exactly
at sunset; and accordingly at that time
he sets his clocks and watches at the
hour of II.
In view of the fact that the sun has
the same habits in presiding over Tur-
key that it exercises with reference to
other localities, it follows that this sys-
tenn of reckoning time requires setting
the clocks every day. 1t appears that
a watch that could run for weeks with
out gaining or losing minute would
be of no special value to Turk.
