editorial entitled SIS 1t the house Of

democratic convention will convene
In this city on the 22nd inst, and now

which has been dedicated to the Lord

any other political convention with

OSTE0PATHY-AS DEFINED
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 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,
by DIR. A. I. Still. He reasoned
muscles, or ligaments not in the
normal position.
"The system was formulated
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 a 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 fall, a blow. a 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

Value. ga, 900, 900, 900 $500, 900, 900
The Portland Oregonian quotes the
above figures from authentic reports
aud remarks editorially:
"Six hundred millions Is not an In.
conceivably vast sum In country like
ours, where the average daily remun.
Grafton of the farmers Is about ga.
100000. 1t is a large sum, however,
when 1t appears, as 1t does this year,
as an increase in value Of the grain
crop alone, over that OF the preceding
year. 1t means that wheat, corn,
oats, barley and rye crops OF the
United States will this year increase
the average purchasing power OF every
man, woman and child in the United
States about 81 over that of last year.
This Is just the increase.
Anarchists and other brands of jaw
smiths may rant and rave over the In.
equalities of the system which gives
wealth to those who work for 1t, and
withholds 1t from the drones who will

Observance Of the Sabbath
Throughout Alberta,

The observance of the Sabbath day
throughout the provinces OF Alberta
Is certainly commendable. No local
trains are allowed to run, no amuse.
ments are tolerated, confectionery
establishments are restricted to Ger.
tain hours, Both fishing and hunting
on the Lords day are considered a
misdemeanor. In some localities the
running OF livery rigs is prohibited
except for the use Of physicians, The
following is an extract from an AL.
berta paper commenting on law re.
Gently passed known as the Lords
day act:
EDMONTON, Alta, August IA
That the Lords day act is being bet
ter observed than In cny other part
Of the west, and that the attorney

tiens OF the Dominion Alliance In
connection with breaches Of the law

western secretary OF the Alliance,
who 10 now on months tour OF AL.
berta.
How is the Act being enforced In
Alberta?" the reporter asked.
I'VE find the authorities In Alder.
ia are very ready to respond to the
Representations by our Organization
with reference to violations OF the Act,
and on attention being drawn to Ger.
tain cases the department has i'm
mediately instructed its representa-.
tives In the locality concerned to give
warning, and where this is neglected

without making invidious com.
PARSONS, l may say that the act Is
better enforced In Alberta than in
any other province OF the west. Peo-
pie have every reason to be grateful
at the disposition shown by the At.
torney. General and his deputies to
give the Act reasonable enforcement
In the province"
Speaking Of the Sunday running Of
trains, the secretary said that the AL
berta government was decided ly
more energetic in this regard than
the sister provinces, and thus far Is
the only one that has taken up that
question seriously.
THE policy Of the Alliance has
been to confer with the railways and
secure voluntary recognition Of the
Act, and DR.. Moore, the general Sec
retary, has stated that 95 per cent Of
the violations that have come to the
attention OF the head Office in Toron.

sorbed with his own ambition for the
presidency, and that vas an ambition
which President Roosevelt never
looked upon with favor.
While he lived, Vice President Ho-
bart, in the first Mckinley administra-
ton, was a man Of function. OF
course, Mark Hanna ran the whole
works, but Mr.. Hobar. was always
consulted with respect to the running
| of the machine, and he was clever at
the work: he was the most important
of the modern-day second-place men.
Mr.. Roosevelt. is practically without
a record in the office of vice president:
the administra alton in which he held
rank had hardly put itself in working
order when President Mckinley vas
assassinated. Prior to that tragedy
the public was looking for plenty of
trouble between General Manager
Hanna and Vice President Roosevelt.
There have been suggestions, akin
to the one that comes from Mr.. Bryan,
which look good to some people. For
instance, there have been ad of
the proposition that the cabinet of.
icers be brought into closer touch
with the two houses of congress, that
they have seats in q ate OF house, to
take personal part in the discussion
of measures they advocate Or be right

istration of their several departments,
after the manner of several of the re.
preventative governments in the old
world. These suggestions, or pro.
posed innovations, have never been
seriously taken up by the public.
AS for Mr.. Bryan's hint, the PEG.
ple's sole response probably will be
that il be wants to be nice and polite
and confidential in his relations with
Mr.. Kern, that will be all right. Yet
the added comment is apt to be that,
according to all accounts, Mr.. Taft,
If elected, would not be particularly
helped by any suggestions Mr.. Sher.

THE VICE

Mr.. Bryan says that if he is elected
president he will take the vice presi.
dent into much:closer communion than
has been the habit with the occupants
of the white house.
In a sense the vice president is
merely an emergency man. He is
named in order that the federal ad.
ministration may have a head in case

In the beginning, however, John
Adams was a figure of some accoun,
as vice president during the two
Washington administrations. a,
least, Adams tried to be q figure in
affairs, although when he became
president he was not by any mean
prone to consult Mr.. Jefferson, who
was the vice president.
During the administration unde.
which VI are living, relations between
the president and the vice president
have been cordial enough for all prac,
teal purposes. To be sure, MIR

To the outside world the greatest or

little notice Of it except occasionally in
a hostile way. its exclamation appeals
irresist:bly to the newcomer. Like the
shrikes and parrots. the curlew and
the mopoke, it is a conspicuous figure

Of notice. In earlier times it was

being quiescent through the heat Of the
forenoon and the wane Of the after
noon. That belief has long been shat
tered. The kookaburra laughs just
when the fit takes 1t, particularly when
excited. and it laughs as readily at the
violent death Of its mother-in-law as 1t
does at the enraged settler when he
falls off his haystack. A wounded bird
makes a demoniacal row, which will
bring all others within hearing into
the neighboring trees, and these at
once set up an echoing cackle that is
repeated again and again.
The kookaburra Is also known as the
laughing goburra and the laughing
jackass Sydney (A%ustralia) Times.
