THURSDAY AFTERNOON, sETP.

The Mercer Republican accuses
County Commissioner French of "play.
ing politics" in voting for a list of
registrars offered by Commissioner
Smith In preference to one offered by
the Republican committee. Col.
smiths list contained the names of
several Democrats and Mr.. French as
Democrat would naturally prefer
registrars Of his own party. But the
Republican seeks to show that II was
an alliance between the Democrats
and the wet" Republicans. There is
absolutely no foundation for such a
theory. The list advocated by Mr..
freeman was composed In part of men
who are only professionally dry: it
was presented by men whose whole
record is In direct conflict with their
present pretensions, and is no driver"
than the list adopted. For example
William M. Doyle, one of the regis.
trars appointed, has been all his life
one of the most pronounced enemies
OF the saloon in the county. vet when
ne was candidate for the house of
delegates, the dry's for expediency-
the Republican machine-insisted on
placing him on the wet side OF the
ballot against his vigorous protest,
and he was forced to stand in the no.
sition of wet man, although he is
q vigorous advocate of no-license.
Commissioner French as a consistent
dry man would have been justified in
looking with suspicion on any list pre-
sented by the Republican machine. but
we are informed that the list of regis
trars appo.ated was presented and vot-
ed on before Commissioner Freeman
registered his kick and there was
no reason why Mr.. French should re-
consider the matter.
Mr.. Freeman was playing politics"
when he proposed TO Mr.. French to
appoint all Democrats in preference
to the list offered by Col. Smith. 1t
was a very pretty little game the Re.
publican machine proposed, but Mr..
French knew the uncertainty of To-
eating the little pea beneath the shell
and he declined to play. With apollo
gies to Thos. Dixon, the Republican
machine works in mischievious way
its blunders to perform"

that the country thought 1t hadn't

trated the city suburb and the country

halts at crossroads, villages and at
rural schoolhouses, much on the order
of the time-honored magic lantern en-.
tertainment of bygone day. Pictures
appeal to everybody, big or little, old
or young, educated or otherwise. The
American people like to be entertained
and no agency OF popular entertain
ment has proved so effective as the
moving picture show, with its nomi
nal price OF admission.
There are greater possibilities ahead
for the moving pictures. In his labor
atory at Orange, N. j., a few nights
ago, Thomas A. Edison gave a private
demonstration OF talking moving
pictures" produced by combination
or two instruments, one Photographic
and the other Photographic. The com
btned machine is to be called the kline
tophone. According to the newspaper
reports, the demonstration was entire
ly successful, but Mr.. Edison thinks
he needs one\more year to perfect the
mechanism. At the expiration of that
time, Mr.. Edison told the newspaper
men, grand opera can be reproduced.
and he can show Col. Roosevelt, as
large as life. "lecturing the nation"

There have been other experiments
along this line, but so far they have
not been of such pronounced success
as to make them attractive as COM
mercial propositions. It Is certain
however, that the talking pictures will
not be long delayed, and 1t seems
equally certain that they will render
the moving picture entertainment doub
ly alluring. The Improvement will
make the picture show, already recog.
nized as an educational agent OF no

A PRIEST THE RUSSIAN RULER
The Smoking Room Club" Has the
 Czar Under Its Sway.

St Petersburg is no country in the world which in conspiracy and intrigue persecution and spying can rival the Russia of today This has been emphasized by despotic bureau cracy which suppresses every rational expression of the national need.
 The favorites of the cZar and his re- actionary surroundings often plunge into schemes which to those who do not know Russia seem impossible of full fillment. Of such a nature is q strange group which is called the Smoking Room club of the palace. being led by Father Wostorgoff. chaplain of the pal ace.
 Although the appointment of every high Russian official is formally made by the cZar with all due solemnity and ceremony, the fact remains that the real appointment of most of the gov ernors. directors of various depart ments and even ministers is secretly arranged by the Smoking Room club of the palace and it's leader. This is a regular hotbed of Russian career mak- CTS and reactionary intrigues
 It has virtually planned all the mas sacres of late years and surpasses in it's methods the friends of the Round Table" of the kaiser's domain. To suc- ceed politically in Russia means to know the Smoking Room club of the palace and to be endorsed by Father Wostorgoff It is simple process for those who know the way and those who are in touch with the club, but for the masses it is a sealed book.
 Do you know any of the early his tory of Father Wostorgoff?" asked the correspondent of a high official.
 Nobody knows that. He is a man of mystery. He, not the czar. at pres ent is the real ruler of Russia

THE WIND AND NERVES.

The east winds hug the earth more closely and gather moisture dust and bacteria, says the Chicago Tribune. They are cold and humid. altogether forming an enervating influence on human animal life, and rendering it susceptible to the disease germs which the winds carry and disseminate.
 The cool, pure northwest winds come from a region of dry, highly electri fled air where ozone exists in com paratively large quantities. They are invigorating The framework of nevres in the human being is like delicate electrical apparatus, the nerves being the wires and the brain and ganglia receiving and distributing centers.
 Everyone knows that telephone works better on a clear, dry day than on wet, muggy one. The moist at mosphere lessens vitality. The nerve wires grow flaccid and heavy The messages become confused. Hence, low spirits. melancholia, distorted mental outlook. faulty assimilation and disease
 The opposite effects flow from the northwest winds. The west and north west winds keep the mucous mem branes of the body in good working order. The coating of moisture which is always present with the east winds disappears. Absence of any wind if long continued has q bad effect on the human body and mind
 A prolonged calm means lack of ventilation on great scale. The winds serve to mix in normal propOr- tiOns the gases which compose the atmosphere and in this way they are conducive to health up to certain point. Beyond about twenty miles an hour. their influence begins to be un- favorable.
