The Respectfully Lazy.
New York Globe

With a grin that reaches from ear to
ear the wags have pounced upon an
aemia and the hookworm. There is a
joyous gurgle in their throats that
says: These are our oysters, and we
intend to open them" Then they dis
course on ancient laziness and modern
hookwormisn, on former ioafing and
present anaemia. They get a pedigree
for the present day Affections and at
tempt to show that they are chips off
the same old block. The Wags would
steal a sleeping testers bells.
But they shall not prevalent at
least until they have had considerable
run for their prevalence For Author
ity is abroad in the land, and it is max
ing fatigue as respectable as the siren
uous life ever thought of being. 1t is
hardly month since Sir Lauder Brun-
ton discussed this question in the
Practitioner. Sir Lauder said that he
constantly received complaints from
patients that they were always tired,
and, indeed, some people avoid work
ing on the ground that they are consti-
tutionally tired" Other people term
them simply lazy he said, but it is
quite possible that in many of these
cases there is some physical condition
in the person which renders exertion
specially distasteful to them" There
was Lecky, the historian, for instance,
who used to write kneeling on sofa
so that he could get more blood to his
head. William James speaks of fatigue
as fatigue distress" and tho there
may be reserves to draw upon, he adj
1nits that it requires almost abnormal
probing to get at them. And then there
is the f1ookworm.
A wag who could steal his bells from
a snoring jester is a mean man-almost
as mean as the fellow who would take
pennies from the eyes Of the dead. Here
at least the anaemic person was about
to come into his own and obtain some
redress and sympathy for the centuries
of ridicule and roasting to which he
had been subjected Like the ladies'
who frequent the lobster palaces, he
was to be reflabilitated with the scie1l-
tif1c dem onstration that it was because
of his temperament" his physical and
mental temperament, the secret springs
OF his being over which he, poor carss

The indications are that the fac
tional fight in the republican camp
will be even more bitter next year
than at any time in the past. The
issues will be Cannonism on one side
and Dolliverism and Cumminism on
the other The lines are being rap
idly formed and ii is none TOO early
to begin to inquire who is who, 1t
will be struggle to control the state
convention, a kilkinney cat fight in
many of the congressional districts,
and sharp skirmish for control of
the Iowa legislature.
With the issues as widely at variance
as day and night there is no excuse
for any candidate for any office to at
tempt to conceal his real attitude or
carry water on both shoulders. If a
man is standpatter let him say so
and stand or fall by it; if a progress
sive dare to shout it from the house

The occult forces that the world has

ment of wHchcraft are ever lying in
wait for resurgence, according to a
Yale professor 1t is intimated by the
New York Sun that they are already
in operation tho under a different

past given accounts of dissensions in
the ranks. Mrs. Della Gilbert, a seceder
from the New York church, has tried
to found new Christian Science body.
But this, 1t seems, is not the only trou-
Bile that disturbs the New York First
Church of Christ, Scientist. Its leader
for many years, Mrs. Augusta Stetson,
has been deposed, permanently or tenn
porarily. according to conflicting re-
ports; and as retaliatory measure
Mrs. Stetson has projected against Mr..
Archibald Mcclellan, Mrs. Eddy's ed-
jutant, diurnal current of "malicious
animal magnetism" Accounts of this
insidious attack appear in many daily
papers, their source of information be-
ing Mrs. Gilbert, who says that she
has learned of an attempt of Mrs.
Stetson to annihilate Mr. Mcclellan
thru one of the healers of the First
Church-a man who had been a mem
Der of the practitioner staff for fifteen
years, and who had been very close to
Mrs. Stetson." The account as printed
in the New York Mail continues:
For hours daily, and if not daily,
every few days, Mrs. Stetson, according
to Mrs. Gilbert, who in turn received
her information from her old practi-
toner, sat with others of her followers,
and by means of thought currents di-
rected at Mr.. Mcclellan in Boston sure
ly but slowly began his effacement.
But for the fact that Mr. Mcclellan
learned of attempts on his life, accord
ing to Mrs. Gilbert, he could not have
withstood the forces. However, he is
said to have discovered the plot and
brought the charges of malicious ami
NAL magnetism against Mrs. Stetson,
thereby depriving her of the opportun-
ity 10 work upon him, thus saving his
life
According to Mrs. Gilbert the meth
cd of electroucution thru space by
thought waves was for the operators to
sit in a darkened room with their eyes
closed, Then one of them would say:l
You all know Mr.. Mcclellan. You all
know that his place is in the darkness
whence he came. If his place is six
feet under ground. that is where he
should be-
Then said Mrs. Gilbert, "al pres
emit concentrate their minds on the one
thought-MeClellan. and six feet under
ground. The practitioner of whom I
speak told me that this was kept up
for days. I did not know about it my
self, but I have his word for it, and he
is an honorable and we'll known man
in the church,
Mrs. Gilbert said that the upheaval
in the Christian Science church, follow
ing the edict of the mother organiza-
ton barring Mrs. Stetson and sixteen
practitioners, would soon become a
general movement that would precipi-
tate tremendous religious war.

Listen, we are going to put in print
thing that a number of republicans
have suggested to US in the last two
weeks, and it is this: Roosevelt will
be home about March, 1910. Meantime

March Roosevelt will be home and then
whichever way the cat jumps, the
fight will go. No other man has such
hold on the people as Roosevelt has

Welt lines up with Taft, goodby insur-

go against Taft and line up with the

no pitch hot. The fur will fly. From

is IT A SELFISH WASTE?
manson Democrat.

Along the right of ways of the rail-
roads this time of year, one can see
pile after pile of old ties being reduced
to ashes by the flames which have been
applied to them by the section men. In
this way thousands upon thousands of
dollars worth of fuel goes up in smoke.
which writhing upward and away
against the blue background of the sky,
writes a telling indictment against the
selfishness and actual brutality of the
railroads for their wanton waste of
good fuel, which might be used to
warm and cheer many home too poor
to buy enough fuel TO burn thru the
long, cold winter. just what excuse
the railroad companies have for such a
wanton waste of fuel and property is
nard to tell Maybe they do not wish
to bother with negotiating the sale of
the old ties and maybe they destroy
them in order to make more of a mar
ket for the coal which comes from the
mines in which the railroads are in
terested. 1t would seem that the rail-
roads would, at least, turn the old ties
over to the poor fellows who work on
the section for such miserable wages
and thereby help them to exc out an
existence, but they don't and the big
piles Of ties burn TO ashes and are scat
tered to the four winds of heaven,
while all thru next winter there will be
many poor little home that could be
warmed and frightened and cheered by
the Ares from the old ties which the
railroads brutally destroy.
