demand for expert school super
vision by licensed supervision, but
the roads, which are of next i'm
portance and upon which there is
the next largest expenditure, must
take care of themselves.
Men, as a whole, are about as
we'll fitted to teach school as to
make roads.
To take the expert supervision
away from schools and let any and
every body do the teaching would
be as sensible as to let every body
try to make the roads.

Why Americans Can't Rest.


''The Americans, masters OF
many arts, strike the visitor from
our damp and foggy land as being
novices in the art of resting. 1t is
not that they have no pleasures
aud recreations; they have these
in abundance. II is that thev are
not leisurely.
''1f evidence were needed,
would merely point to their eyes.
The eye is not only the light of
the body; it is tie betrayer of the
nature and characteristics. And
the eye of the TYPICAL American is
not restfnl, except perhaps after a
heavy meal. 1t is tense.
''It seems strange to me that
with all the education which is
given in this country to fit people
for activity, there is no trai.,ing to
fit people for rest. When children
are Taught more and more to use
their eyes in observation and read
ing, they are never taught at all
to rest their eyes, and so to rest
their minds as we'll.
"Possibly many will not under
stand what this means. A COM
parison will make the fact clearer.
A nervous and highly strung per-
son tends to clench his hands and
grip. A leisurely and easy per-
son does not-he has his hands re-
Iaxed, comfortable and nntensed.
So tits with the eyes. A nervous
and highly strung person is likely
to clench bis eyes, as it were, and
not to let them be unlicensed. If
an artist wants to denote anxiety,
be makes the face and eyes in the
picture frowning and strained.
A very simple exercise, first
brought to my notice by the wife
of leading English politician, is
to look at distance, OF to close
The eyes and imagine some scenery
far away and blurred. If one tries
this, one may be conscious of a
positive relaxing of the muscles of
the eye. 1t feels almost as if the
eye were an anemone, left dry up
on a rock, compressed and hard,
and then expanded and softened by
the sea. water that rises and covers
it. We can "sense" our eye open.
ing out similarly. And the mental
tai relief of this physical act is
wonderful. ."-Eustace Miles, q

There is not nearly 80 much
"piebaldness" in the returns from
this county as of old. There was
less scratching than at any election
since 1894. The speakers the
Democrats ran in here during the
campaign had the affect of not only
bringing out the full Republican
vote, but making it vote straight
to larger extent than usual also.

A BEAUTIFUL ROAST

The three-rlng circus ut Chicago that
the Hearst papers have beer calling
"the Independ en- ce League con ntioD,
has adjourned and gone home, but none
of them to the home where they belong
one for the feeble minded.
There was probably one sane man Mt
the convention, and that was William f..
Hearst, and there are times, when, look
ing upon his experien ce with po!itice and
his seeming Inability to cut loose FROM
his irfatuatlon for the game, one is Al
most compelled to doubt the sanity of
Hearst.
He never ran for Office in California,
but he never won fight in that state,
except when, once or twice no assisted
81 defeat the democratic candidate for
the governorshlp. And in each of those
cases he only won by Il pitiful vote, and
his ability to do damage to the party
candidate was due to the treacherous
pretense Of his paper, the Exam in er, Of
benz a democratic journal.
He went east and, by enlisting the
support Of Tammany, which was easily
secured in return for the support given
that organization by HE New York pa
pers, and by spending goodly lot Of
each, he was elected to congress. AS a
congressman he was a rank tizzIe, but
HE newspapers made it appear that in
william Randolph Hearst at Washing
ton had been resurrected the statesman
ship Of Clay, and Calhoun, the forensic
ability Of Webster, the wit and humor
OF Cox and CorwiD, and 80 long as the
readers Of the Hearst papers read and
believed the rot, tho desired object was
accomplished.
From the dead level of seoond-rate
congressman, lying like stone in q
putrid pool, he next essayed fight into
that part OF the empyrean where presi.
dents preen their winge. He went into
the democratic national convention in
l9O4 with the nomination in his pocket
so his papers sald-and came out of
1t looking like drowned rat.
Ho thought he saw his error, and re-.
solved next time to remedy his lack OF
a political record, So he organized a
Falstatfian army Of Adullamltee, called
it the independence League, and gave
himself nomination for mayor Of New
York city. He ran and was whipped
again.
Ills newspapers started up howl that
he had been robbed, and no bepnn a
legal contest to determine whether he
had or not. But he was really hoping
THAT no decision would be given in his
favor, for he bad made such absurdly
impossible promises Of what he would
90 IL he became mayor that he knew
he could never keep them, and above
all he wanted the people to regard him
as man who had been robbed Of his
ngbts--as a political martyr, in fact
so that out of very sympathy they would
ra'ly 70 his support in his next grearest
light and put him in to the gubernatoria
chair.
IN the meantime he was building IN
bis army Of cranks INTO formidable
state machine IN army, which is not
as passionately loyal rs the fanatics that
fought under Mnhomct, were just as
badly warped I'm the BRAIN. He became
30 strong that he was able to bluff the
democratic state convention into agree
ing TO q fusion with his mob OF NADINE n
and in the melee that ensued, grabbed
the gubernatorIal nomination for his
own.
There followed q campaign unpre-

ceCented in the annals Of politics IN the
United States. The megaphone, the
brass band, the moving picture, the
photograph, the comic supplement-
all these played their part in the effusion
Of Hesrstism and claptrap that deluRed
the state.
But all in vain. This pygmy Napo-
leon OF a hundred Waterloos went to
bed on the night Of election day with
the eorest head he had ever nursed in
his lifetime Of sound beatinge. The
animated feather duster," as he had
termed Hughes, was victor over him..
"A nd all the rest Of the democratic ticket
was elected. The Bou:bons had driven
the knife to the hiIt into the carcass OF
of William r. Hearst, just ss he had SO
often riven it into the bodies of other
demScfatic nominees for governor. The
niHstof the gods grind slowly, but they
get there some time. :
fE was thought that this, hutniliatlnR;
beating would give Hearst the tip that
he. wasn't wanted to reform the country
and&eave the nation. Bat those who
fondly cherished such dr6 am soon had
that fond illusion rudely diepelled. The
elecron of last fall came, and Hearst's
organs all shouted Independence
League" together. he took a personal
hand In one fight, that in New York
city, and while he did not run for the
ha hn
campaign. His Independence League,
which but year before had been the
ally OF the democrats OF the state, now
became an ally of the republicans of the
city. A more shameless advertisement
Of the lack of political principle was
never published to the world. And the
miscegenatlon bore the proper fruit;
both Hearst and the republicans were
beaten with the worst beating admins
tered to minority party i'll New York
city in many years.
Stu he was not satisfied, With re-
gard to beatlnge, he seems to be verit-
able Oliver Twist-alwaye asking toI
more. The truth could not be blinked
in New York city, but as usual, bis
papers claimed victory in other localities
where the claim was nothing more than
the most brazen pretense.
And now he is riding his ho-by for
another fall. The indie pendcnc &c League
"a thing Of ehreds aud patches-meets
in Chicago, where it can be properly
advertised by choice bunch of local
Hearst newspapers, and solem oily invites
the presence Of Hearst. Hearst extend
ing an III vitation to Hearst-a spectacle
to move feline risiblee. He comes, he
sees, he talks. He suggests the forma-
ton OF new party. He sees that the
name Independence League does not 90
easily slip down the gullet of the
gullible, and he thinks that "National
Party" would be about the smbboleth
to gather in the remainder of the dis.
contented who have not already flown
down the NAV Of the Independence
League. .....
Now that be has got his political
monstrosity iuto working order, he
hopes to repeat with the democratic
national convention the experience he
had with the deu, ocratic state copven-
ton OF New York-to bluff or bully 1t
into taking himself or one OF his indie
pendence League ieutenanis as
nominee OH the national ticket.
Will he make it win? Well hardly
