Mr.. KERN OF INDIANA.

The political career OF the vice. presi.
dental nominee Of the democraticp party
Is not very we'll known throughout
the west. AS IL resembles closely on
. small scale that OF Mr.. Bryan, and
as the choice Of Mr.. Kern will make
Indiana more than ever pivotal
state, the following comment from
The Springfield Republican is OF much
interest:
Zone may describe Mr.. Kern politi.
cally by saying that he would probably
have held one Of the seats In the
United States senate now occupied by
Messrs. Hemenway and Beveridge had
Indiana been democratic instead Of
republican state In the past ten
years. He was trained In the political
school OF Hendricks, Voorhees, and Nc.
Donald-which is not the best OF rec.
concentrations. But he was Of such
ability as speaker and party warrior
that between 1900 and 1905 the demo.
cratic party's highest nominations in
Indiana were bestowed upon him.
Mr.. Kern ran for governor both in
1900 and 1904, and In 1905 he was the
democratic nominee for United States
senator.
"In his double breasted record of de.
feat at the polls, Mr.. Kern resem bles
Mr.. Bryan; and this fact every body is
bound to notice, with the implication
that the Hoosier lawyer adds no pc
litical strength TO the ticket. The
nomina tion certainly means that the
effort to secure some eastern conserva.
tive Of reputation as the running
mate was abandoned, for the conclu.
sion must finally have been forced
upon the Bryan leaders that TO make
the most OF their available assets 10
the middle west was the best policy.
Mr.. Kern's nomination thus promises
to make Indiana more than ever a
battle-ground, whether or not his name
adds prestige to the democratic cause,

PIONEER DAY.

Any movement, whether religious or
national, which leads to the settle.
ment OF a new country, Is full OF sig
nificance in the upbuilding Of a nation
and often In the history Of the world.
The coming OF the Latter.Day Saints
into Utah by way Of Emigration can
yon July "a, ls47 Is OF the same nature
as the landing OF the Pilgrims at
Plymouth, Mass. In 1920, the Hugue-
nots In Georgia, or the Quakers In
Pennsylvania. They all started In a
religious trek, took on political
character and became vast colonizing
enterprises, though never losing sight
Of their religious origin. Wherever
loyal New EDglanders are to be found
they foregather on December 81 to
commemorate the beginnings Of New
England and in like manner faithful
Utahns celebrate on July "a the day
on which their state was born. Too.
often the various festivities OF a holt
day overwhelm its sacred character
and cause It's origin to be put In the
background. This was certainly not
the case in the first celebration al
Pioneer Day In Cache Valley. That
took place IN Wellsville In 1857. John
Thirkell was the orator on that &C.
casion and delivered q glorious proph-
ecy. A frost had killed the potato
crop the day before but The speaker
predicted the successi Of the wheat
crop and also the erection OF a temple
10 the valley. Those were days when
the material and spiritual things OF
life were the first to be considered and
the modern craze for pleasure, to the
exclusion of all serious thought, had
not yet worked Its preventing influence
on holiday celebrations. Life was
not then 'all beer and skittles''by any
means but now that we are running
TO the beer and skittles extreme we
will do we'll to remember the almost
sacred origin OF many OF our holidays,
especially that Of Pioneer Day. The
hardships OF the first settlers, their
hopes and ambitions, and their i'm.
plicit faith In the future OF the new
state should beobjects ofveneration for
the members Of the present generation
and the yearly celebration OF Pioneer
Day should emphasize for them the
lesson OF how much may be accom-
plished by faith and work.

0STE0PATHY-AS DEPINED
IN APPLETION'S UNIVER.
SAL CYCLOPAEDIA

"Osteopathy is method of
treating diseases of the human
booy without the use of drugs, by
means of manipulations applied
to various nerve centers, chiefly
those along the spine, with a view
to inducing free circulation Of the
blood and lymph, and an equal
distribution of the nerve forces.
Especial attention is given to
the ,readjustment Of any bones,
muscles, or ligaments not in the
normal position.
"The system was formulated
by DR.. A. T. STILL. He reasoned
that body so perfectly construc-
ted mechanically should be able
to protect itself against the in
roads or disease without the. arti-
fical aid of external substances,
except those employed as food.
Ellis next conclusion was that
as a natural flow Of blood is
health, and disease is the effect of
local or general disturbance Of
blood. With this as working
hypothesis, he made a series of
experiments, the results of which
convinced him that the various
organs of the body were controll-
ed by nerve centers located chief
ly along the spine, and that these
could be operated upon and con-
trolled by pressure or stimulation
of the fingers. He holds also that
if the bones, muscles, arteries,
veins, lymphatics, glands, organs,
and tissues Of the body are in the
ir correct anatomical positions, dis
ease cannot exist. Displacement
may arise from a variety of caus-
es, such as a fall, a blow, strain,
or atmospheric change. Pressure
upon the blood vessels or nerves
in the immediate vicinity Of the
part so affected will follow, and a
consequent shutting off of the
nerve or blood supply to some or
gan, which will then become dis
eased. With a readjustment of
the displaced part will come per
feet freedom of motion Of all the
fluids, forces, and substances per-
tanning to life, thus re-establish-
ing a condition known as health
