The Quest of Truth.

It is good deal easier to poke fun
at history than to write. history merit
ing credence. Mr.. Bodley when writ
ing his France" experienced the force
Of this in curious way. He shut
himself up in France for years to get
the atmosphere and the knowledge
necessary for his work. One of his
trials arose over some question of elect
oral jurisprudence. It was not of in
ternational Importance, but still inter.
esting to students of comparative pro-
cedure. Therefore he wrote to a dep
uty who is parliamentary, expert to
clear up the obscurity in which the
text books involve the point and incor
porated his reply in the text of the
book. Later, being invited by an ex~
perienced mayor to be present at
poll over which he presided, Mr.. Bod
Icy put the question to him and re-
ceived quite different reply. Finally
the author referred the point to
senator of indisputable authority, who
showed that the deputy and the mayor
were both wrong.-St James Gazette

Presidential Campaign.
Chicago, Feb. 6.-Thomas Taggart,
chairman, and Urey Woodson, secre-
tary, of the Democratic national COM
mittee, came to Chicago with a new
political idea in their heads. In brief
it was this:
The next presidential campaign will
have to be fought out on the personal
ity of the opposing candidates. Out
side of some variance about the tariff
there will he no real difference in the
platforms of the two parties.
In this they took it for granted that
William ]. Bryan would be nominated
by the Democrats and William H. Taft
by the Republicans. They felt sure
about the Bryan part of it and we're
willing to bet as to the Taft end. The
Republican platform, they thought,
would be practically drawn by Pres
ident Roosevelt and represent his
ideas. The Democratic one would be
inspired by Mr.. Bryan and he already
has endorsed the entire Roosevelt pro-
gramme.
