Must Hold to the Denver
Platform,

In replying to Bryan, Sen
ator Bailey discusses :the FIRE,
raw materials issue at length
The present democratic
national platform, the Den
yer platform of 1908, is the
party law until 1912, when
another platform shall be
promulgated. This party law
Senator Bailey has VIOLATED,
not only in voting for a tariff
ON free raw materials, bat in
his other votes in the senate
in the interest of the trusts
The free raw materials is
sue amounts simply to this:
The democratic tariff for re-
venue only demand, it is pro
posed, is to have a raw mater
ial exception. That is, when
the republicans place a duty
on the finished product, the
democrats arctic demand a
duty on the raw material,
partly as a tariff graft for it's
producer and partly in the
idea of Furnishing the manu-
faetlrer.
This is all wrong. The de-
mocratic party must hold to
the Denver platform and not
swerve one hairs breadth
from the true principle. The
democrats must continue to
demand thorough tariff re-
form without any exceptions,

SATIRE FOR
YHB CRITICS
PHiRISEEs AND sCRIBEs ARE
NOT ALL DEAD.
Evangelist Gypsy Smith Compares
the Way Jesus Did-Says Little
of Levee Visit.
ALL OF THEM AVOID SINNER.

Chicago. Oct. 21-At the Seventh
regiment armory Gypsy Smith preach
ed a sermon that was filled with
satire aimed at the people who had
criticised his action in leading a pa
rade through the Twenty-second
street red light" district. =.
Only once did he directly refer to-
the demonstration. and that was
when he read messages he had re-
ceived Of good done among the DENT
zens of the levee. His sermon itself
never touched the subject, but
throughout II contained passages that
could have but one Interpretation. It|
told OF Christ's great love and of His
seeking after sinners, not avoiding
them. The sermon swayed the vast
audience, and when a call was made
for all who wished TO surrender to
Christ to rise about $50 people
stood.
Before the start of the sermon, II.
p. Crowell. chairman Of the Lay
mems Evangelistic Council. which Is
promoting the revival. climbed into
the pulpit and lauded Gypsy for hold
ing the Monday night parade. 81 en-
tered the parade with mingled feel
ings, " he said. but now that | have
seen the good II accomplished /.

veloped such a man as Gypsy Smith. %

bra. with an Invitation to attend. Few
resorts refused them permission andl
the women responded heartily with
few exceptions. sending this message:
Thank Gypsy Smith for remember
ing US and say we would Ike to hearI
him."
Gipsy's first text told of how
Christ drew the sinners and publ |
cans to him and of how the phari- |
sees and scribes had murmured at |
his actions. "The pharisees and
scribes are not all dead yet; some oil
their grandchildren are living in Chi
cago," he said Then he took for his |
other text the story of the prodigal
son. but he called it "The Story of
the broken-hearted father watching
for his sons return" God Is the
Father, and He watches for the re-
turn of the world" he said.
Then the evangelist told the story
Of the lost sheep. 1.-THE world cares
more for a little piece OF property
than a lost soul. 1t cares more for a |
sheep than a fallen woman. But
Jesus talked and ate with sinners.
I'm not surprised that some took ex-l
ception TO it. Some do today. No
body wants anything to do with al
sinner. When we have TO touch them
We do so with a kid glove touch, the
very brush of our finger tips freezing
them on"

MORE ABOUT TEETH.

The authoritative statement has been made that ninety-six per cent. of the school children have decayed teeth. and as a result there is "a more or less disordered condition of the stomach and failure to properly masticate the foId, both leading ta insufficient nutrition and frequently to disease. The Dental Hygiene Council of Massa- chusetts has issued the following au- thoritative statement:
 "Decayed teeth and foal mouth are ! frequent causes of tuberculosis, Rad | condition of the throat, the nose. the 1 ears or the eyes Is made worse by de- cayed teeth. They increase the chances of catching infectious diseases. Neglect of the teeth in the early | years of life frequently Is the first cause of physical. mental and moral defects.
 There ia not any single thing more Important to the public In the whole range of hygiene than the hygiene of 1 the mouth.'
 Some days ago The Advertiser com mented in a somewhat light vein on the suggestion made by Dr. Tanner we believe it was-thIt the teeth of milk cows should be brushed clean as often as necessary in crder to prevent the microbes which live and flour

Impressive but Irrelevant.

New 1OTh
 President Roosevelt's ride to War renton will hardly take It's place in history with that of Sheridan to Win chester or even Burnabys' to khlva. but 1t is a distinctly interesting cpl sode, nevertheless, claiming both com ment and interpretation. Theories as to why the President did a thing so characteristic of himself and so un- charactlstic of his high and dfgnified office will be as many as there are theorizers. Of course, the question can not be definitely settled by any body except the President himself If even by him. The more vehement of the Presidents critics will insist on seeing In the strange excursion merely another sensational bid for the admiration and wonder of the un- thinking. another assumption of the heroic pose by a man who absurdly exaggerates the importance of phy- sleal prowess This is looking far for stones to throw. however. and the simpler explanations which will oc- cur to those of tendencies more chari- more probable There has been much complaint about the practice rldes'' which the President has imposed on army officers and il would be natural enough for him to say, in an impatient moment, I'll show 'em by doing in one day more than they are asked to do in three that me task set wasn't such a terrible one" And he did 1t, though at one point the demonstra uan fails to accomplish its purpose.

THURSDAY, JANUARY ai, 1908.

The cruel feature of the present sit- uation is that the public has ceased to pay attention to the violent idiosyn- cracies of the President. This must be gall and wormwood to the man who night and. day insists on living in the lime light. In the present quarrel 1t is net what the President says or does that attracts atteention and com mendation. it is what Congress says and does. In the entire history of the sountry there was no time when a mans popularity shrivelled es fast as Reesevslt's. He bids fair to go out of oGace the most unpopular man that ever served as President with perhaps the single exception of Andrew John son. much of whose csnsure was un- justly bestowed.

on those, especially children. who drink the milk.
 While the subject was treated with more or less badinage we are willing to admit that there may be truth in the theory, and all the more so since reading ths statement by the high authority In Massachusetts about the teeth of school children. If foul teeth in them may lead to ili-heaith. which would come through the pres ence of disease germs on the teeth. why may 1t not be reasonable to ar- que that disease may be promulgated by unclean teeth of cows? It seems a reasonable argument at least and we notice that quite number of Dem tai Societies and organizations in New York and New England advise the es- tabiishment of dental hygiene in the schools as part of the medical curric- ulum. Whether It should he made the duty. of the teachers to keep the teeth and mouths Of pupils clean may be a ,debatable question. but it Is certain that human teeth are coming fin for a good share of public and pro- fessionai attention.

New Theory of Springs.


 You would not think there was any room for new conclusions AS to what causes springs. The universal understanding ts and has always been that the rains. soak fully explain the existence of the under. r.: ground veins of water which come to light in springs and wells. However. there arc some facts which this theory does not fully
 more water is evaporated from the soil than is precipitated as rain or snow Then springs often exist at the summits of hills and mountains. and # is hard to believe impervious layers of soil or rock, as com mdhly explained.
 Messrs. Haedicke and vogier, according to the & European papers & have been invest. est the rainfall and snowfall cannot account wholly for the maintenance of springs. Their belief is that springs are for the most part fed by moisture condensed directly out of the air that is in the soil. The soil Is cooler than the atmosphere, and the result iB that when the air is well saturated with moisture there must be a constant ccndensa- ton of this moisture in the soil. regardless of rain. The rain as we know. mostly runs off without penetrating far into the soil It is well known that In farming very l1t- nation of this Is that 1t allows the air. which always carries more or less moisture. to penetrate the soil. where the lower tenn perature will cause the condensation of the moisture.
 It has been shown by experiments that the water level of springs and wells. after a long drought, rises in anticipation Of rain. This has always been a mystery. but now 1t the air is partially saturated with moist- ure the condensation goes on in the soil without waiting for the humidity to reach the point where rain falls The discovery as bearrg on weather, water supply, meta- eds of farming, etc.

The reason for the formation of the masses of six sided columns so often seen in volcanic rock-as in the Giants Cause way, in Ireland; in FinEars Cave on tho Isle of Staffa. and in the 1uarries on Or ange Mountain. in New Jersey-has always been something of a mystery to geologistS. The columns are not crystals, for the sub stances of which they are composed is not a single mineral but mixture or many forming complex lava
 Light is thrown upon the process oy the Interesting experiments of Henri Benard In France. Benard finds that the currents that form in liquid when 1t Is heated are 50 regularly arranged through 1t that they divide it into six sided cells. The warmed uquid ascends through the centre Of each cell and the cooler liquid aescends around the edges In such a substance As melted uaraffine the cell division keeps up until soIldification begins. and 1t takes place first aronud the outside of each hexagonal division. since the substance Is cooler there. After the whole has become solid the mass nav ba broken up Into hexagonal pieces.
 IccordinE to the author. tins action in the molten rock Is what causes 1t to sepa- rate into columns Benard finds, however. mat the phenomenon is most marked In thin layers of liquid and that as me thlck- ness increases the size of the SIX sided eellS also increases Now in rock or colunnar structure columns only a few inches thick may often be traced for fifty feet or more This discrepancy. however. may not be sur f,cient to disprove Benard'S theory which ia Interesting If nothing more.
