Chosen Tor Important Work.

Jens Davidson attended the A. S. of
L. meeting at Madison July and was
e,ccted superintendent of exchanges.
The Wisconsin Equity News in its last
issue has the following to say in re-
gard to the election of Mr.. Davidson
for this high office: The next step
was to decide upon the proper person
to put in charge of affairs at Chicago
as trustee until everything could be
properly and satisfactorily adjusted
and then to be continued as Superin-
tendent of Exchanges, wherever es-
tablished in The United States. For
this important position the unanimous
choice was settled UPON Mr.. Jens
Davidson, of Westby, Wis. A large
and successful farmer, owner of
several farms and thoroughly practi-
cal business man. 1t required consider
able urging to induce Mr.. Aavinson to
accept, and such was his intense in
terest in the success of the Society's
work that he finally accepted. A bet
ter man could not be found anywhere. =

friends and patients for, the past 20
years In this respect, and am inclined

repression and nervalsness which
commonly develop in hot weather is
oue TO excessive exposure to light
from habits of early rising, inherited
from agricultural ancestors not com.

secondly, that the exhilaration ex.
perlenced during the early morning
nours is an expensive luxury which
mas to be paid for later in the day
In fact, have found that as a general
rule to put it very roughly, the bust
ness or professional man who rises
an hour before 1880 or 8, goes to

an hour and a half earlier in the
evening. Each individual has In

For a generation we have had
a government under corporate con-
troll. This government was sold to
the highest bidder. and since that
time a saturnalian feast has existed
in Washington. The only relief is
democratic triumph this fall, not on
ly in the White House. but also in
the house and senate. The legisla-
ture of Kentucky faces a great re-
sponsibility, and should arise to the
occasion and elect a democratic SEN
ator. on whose vote the deliverance

ity should not be allowed to figure
in politics. He said 1t was wrong for
democrats to refuse to support men
simply because they did not like
them. He said that In 1904 he took
his medicine in Parker. Parker,
above all others, was the man he did
not want. But" he declared. "he
stood for more democracy than the
republicans did, and I accepted him
and did what / could for him. Give
me a bitter enemy. and If he stands
for something I stand for will do
more for him than his best friend" :"

plauded. He was warmly greeted by
all the democratic members. He left

call for the state central committee
to meet that day In order to select
the time and place for the republican

gates to the national convention. He
decided that 1t would be very good
plan to have the county chairman of
every county in the state to meet
with the state general committee and
discuss the plans for carrying the
state for the republican ticket this
fall. He therefore sent invitations
for the county chairmen to come in
and break bread with the other lead
ers.
One good thought always deserves
another and the other came yester-
day, and he sent invitations to all
the republican editors and newspa-
per owners throughout the state to
come IN on that day and gather to-
gether with the county chairmen and
the state central committeeman and
spend the time in genuine republi-
