Example Of Nj. Tan.

The example of Mr.. Taft il an
appeal TO the national pride and
the national imagination. II rep
resents the forces which produce
results and command respect. II
inspires hope, wins confidence and
stands for honor and progress.
Moreover. it discloses those attri-
butes of integrity. courage, self
respect and justice which the up
right young American casting his
first vote will naturally demand as
essential qualities of his ideal can
didate for President. At the age
of fifty-one Mr.. Taft has standing
to his credit a record of definite re-
suits which distinguishes him as
one OF the most accomplished OF
American statesmen, living OF
dead. 1t is without an error or a
flaw, an epitome OF the new Ameri
canism which believes in doing
things. And in behalf of the maj
who made it the record gives ;
distinct affirmative of the histori,
test for candidates for officia
favor: lis he honest, is he capa
bic, is he faithful to the Constitu

The coming House and Senate
are not wanting in prominent lead

resentatives and senator's elect are
men of business reputation and
Legislative experience. 1t is to be

both branches to 60 to work
promptly and earnestly. There is
no reason why they should not.
On the other hand there are many

work, and keep at it, will greatly
please their constituents.

DEALING WITH THE CRIMINAL.
Grave Problem That Has Ever Been
 Before Society.

It Is novel idea that any man over so years of age who commits a crime may be set down, as a rule, to be mor- ally bad. with no hopes of improve ment Morality. according to Dr. Belfeld. who advances the theory. Is the arrest of the instincts by the intellect says the Chicago Journal. A child is a savage. If he continues to improve slowly he has a chance to outgrow his tendencies before he is 30. If he does not do so, then he is hopeless, and Dr. Belfield thinks he should either be Imprisoned for life or else put out of the world alto gether.
 Civilization growing more and more averse to capital punishment, will never consent to the cemetery outlet thus suggested. But permanent seg- regation in a penal colony would be equally effective We do not go so far as Dr. Belfield as to believe that man over 30 who commits a crime Is therefore necessarily a moral idiot. One experience of punishment has been enough for many men past that age
 But when man is undeterred by punishment and goes on committing one crime after another. then we think society owes 1t to itself to take stern measures Such a man should be adjudged habitual and ire claimable criminal and removed from society. But, on the other hand, hon. est men should not be burdened with the cost of supporting him. He should be forced to earn his own living

Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and recovered from them without
treatment Of any kind, do not for mo-
ment imagine colds are not dangerous.
Every one knows that pneumonia and
chronic catarrh have their origin in a
common cold. Consumption is not
caused by cold but the cold prepares
the system for the reception and develop
ment OF the germs thai would not other
wise have found Judgment. 1t is the
same with all infectious diseases. Diph-
iberia, scarlet fever, measles and whoop-
ing cough are much more likely to be
contracted when the child has cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger turks in = cold than in any other
OF the common ailments. The easiest
