NO CLAIM ON ANYBODY

The republican press throughout the
country intimates that the party has
claims upon various classes of citizens
for their support in the coming election.
1t cannot mean the heads of more than
16,OO0,000 families who have been
compelled to pay excessive prices for
food and home comforts. 1t cannot
mean the farmers Of the country, who
are paying more for American made
p!owS and other agricultural implement
than the same are sold for abroad or
even across the Canadian border. 1t
cannot mean the professional classes
since it has it has restricted the impor-
tation of books and scicnt i fic apparatus
and put IL tariff on works of art.
1t cannot mean thc working classes
who We're compelled to appeal to a
democratic national convention for a
plank in its platform pledging them
equality before the law. Upon whom,
then, has the republican party notori-
ously profiigatc, Dragging of its I'M
savory past, a claim for support?
1t is not difficult to answer this uues-
ton. The republican party has Il
claim for support upon the beneficial
rics of Il tariff system which EFFORTS
not less than 800 in indirect taxes
from the head Of every American fam
lily consisting of five or six persons. II
has Il claim upon some 200, 600 Office
holders. Onchalf of whom have had
places created for them since Presi
dent Roosevelt succeeded the late au-
thor of the Mckinley tariff bill. II
has claim upon such persons as the
western plOw manufacturer who bv
the grace of Il republican tariff, piled
mp Il fortune of more than $40. 600. 600.
II has claim upon every individual
who amasscs wealth at the expense of
his fellow man through profits accru-
ing by means of and through the high
est tariff schedules in the world The
republican party has II claim for sun
port upon the few only. IT has no
claim whatever upon the millions of
voters who arc f;,rccd to contribute TO
the enrichment of this select few and
who resent the insinuatiOn that tEcy
M" under obligations to the party now
in power. Exchange.

DANGERS OF sEDENTARY LIFE
English Physician Points Out Positive
Necessity for Exsrtion,

very good illustration of the dan.
gers attending sedentary life is
given by Sir William Grove, who OBJ
served the effects of activity and in.
activity on animals. He says:
ITO keep itself healthy, 1t must ex
ert Itself for it's food: this, and per
haps the avoiding It's enemies, gives
1t exercise and care, brings all it's
organs into use. and then it acquires
Its most perfect form of life. I have
Witnessed this effect myself, and that
Is the reason why choose the rabbit
as an example. An estate in Somer-
setshire, which l once took temporari.
ly, was on the slope of the Mendip
hills. The rabbits on one part of it.,
VIZ, that on the hillside, wee in per.
feet condition, not too fat, nor too
thin, sleek, active and vigorous and
yielding to their antagonists, my fam.
lily, excellent food. Those in the val
ley, where the pasturage was -ich and
luxuriant, were all diseased, most of
them unfit for human food, and many
lying dead on the fields. They had
not to struggle for life, their short
life was miserable, and their death
early; they wanted the sweet uses OF
adversity-that is. Of antagonism."

Shopping Headache"

A prominent physician says that
shoppers headache" is due to the
tact that one has not eaten enough.
He declares that no work Is so nerve
trying as shopping, and advises a
good, substantial luncheon in the
midst of the store hunt. Take an hour
for rest and eat, thinking as little as
possible Of the tasks yet to be accom-.
plished, and there will not be such a
splitting headache to take home.

\ PiCkwiCkian Circular.

Postmaster-Gcneral Meyer has issued a
circular lnstructing Government employees
to keep out of politics
Meanwhile the Postmaster General is
himself making speeches and thereby
hustllng to stay i'll office.
And sometime ago John Mitchell,
labor leader, announced that he would
take no part i'll the campaign, thereby
hoping that organized labor, following
his example. would stay out of politics
this upon the presumption, as stated by
Baltimore NcwS, that organized labor
has nothing to expect from politics as a
body."
Meyers erampir, it seems, was not to
be honored by emulation; Mitchell's is.
But why government employees-all
of one party and working as unit,
should earn bread III politics, and or
ganized labor, united on every other
question of mundane Importance, should
remain divided and obtain only a
