Great Educator In Politics

Woodrow Wilson, president of
Princeton university. who offers him
self to the democrats of New Jersey
as candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination. may not be considered
seriously by the party managers, but
should he be nominated he would stand
good chance of being elected: and
once governor of New Jersey he would
loom up as presidential possibility.
Mr.. Wilson is perhaps the foremost
educator in this country and besides his
educational work he has written ex-
tensively and LUMINOSITY on a variety
of subjects. One of his best books is
entitled, "EYements OF Historical and
Practical Politics. Mr. Wilson having
had no experience in party councils or
party leadership the machine politicians
will probably refer to him as purely
an academic statesman. But he is a
man of singular force of character and
large capacity, and in the event of his
election to the governorship he may
be reasonably expected to fill the po-
sition with exceptional distinction. At
any rate his entrance into the political
arena will help to enliven the situa-
ton in these dog days.

CAUSE OF SUNSTROKC
From Harper's Weekly.


During the summer months each year
heat prostrations occur and often termi-
nate fatally. These accidents have a
physiological cause classified by medical
science as ''sunstroke"; the victims most
susceptible being people careless of their
physical well-being, the deblitated, the
old and the incorporate. French ply
stefan who has studied "sunstroke" has
come to the conclusion that the trouble
is due not to an increase of bodily heat.
but to the action of hemoglobin. the SUBJ
stance that forms the dry constituents
of the red blood corpuscles, which spreads
through the physical tissues with all the
effect of powerful poison.
Another authority, DR.. Mas, thinks
that the diffusion of hemoglobin through
the system, which he admits to be the
cause of sunstroke, is due to lack of
water In the body. Careful examinations
made in cases where men and animals
have been struck dead by the suns rays
have confirmed this theory. The explain
alton Is undeniably scientific, but it must
not be understood to mean that the
human, or other body should absorb
large quantities of liquid; people who
drink too much cold water. or other cold
drinks, alcoholic subjects, and all in
veterate drinkers, are more liable to fall
victims to the shun's heat than others.

Mr.. MaCYeagh'S Surplus

By eliminating payments from the
treasury for the Panama canal, Secretary
of the Treasury Macyeagh is enabled to
congratulate himself and also the Presi-
dent upon the fact that ordinary receipts
are now outrunning ordinary disburse-
nents. The daily statement for June 80
showed deficiency of 50, 4o2, 4a2, but heavy
receipts from the corporation tax and
other sources had on July Is turned that
deficiency into a surplus of s13,576,116.
This surplus is strictly one in ordinary
transactions of the government. The pay
ments on account of the Panama canal
still create a deficit exceeding $50, 600, 900.
This manner of creating surplus out
of deficit will serve. no doubt, campaign
purposes, but it will not serve anything
else. So long as payments on account OF
the Panama canal are made from the
general fund in the treasury, so long
must those payments be reckoned in
when a balance is struck between re-
ceipts and disbursements.

pr,nceton,s President

.uoodrow Wilson of Princeton, who
,s about to break into politics, Is
democrat of the Grover Cleveland type
so far as honesty of purpose and point
ical ideals CO." said a longtime ao-
mirer of the distinguished educator
but he is naturally more academic
than Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Wilson Is the
son of a Presbyterian divine, the ven
cradle DR.. James Wilson, for many
years pastor of church In Augusta
Ca, and also stated clerk of the south
ern general assembly; but woodrow
showed no inclination for the pulpit
profession. He became well grounded
however, in nearly everything except
theology. He graduated at Princeton
Presbyterian stronghold, and he has
the distinction of being the 1rst pres
ident of that historic institution who
was not an ordained minister of the
Presbyterian church. fs
Woodrow Wilson was born In
staunton, Va, but when he was only
2 years of age his parents removed te
Augusta, and in the latter city he grew
up and attended school until he was
ready for Princeton. He took the law
course at the University of Virginia
and practiced a year in Atlanta from
the summer Of 1882 until the summer
of 1888. He then went to Johns Hop
kins university in Baltimore and there
studied political science and che phil
osophy of history, receiving from that
institution in 1885 the degree of Phi
D. He accepted the chair Of political
science at Princeton in 1890, and about
eight years ago was elected president
of Princeton.

WONDERFUL WHISKY

From the London Daily News.
Mr.. Lloyd-George has informed the
house of commons that the only dis
tillery set up in Wales has beer closed,
which, from the poetical point of view
only, is a matter for regret. Some years
ago, writes correspondent, visited
this establishment and found there quite
a big brewing of the ''crature," or the
Welsh equivalent for the same. But
what amused me was a document
came across some time afterwards In
which Welsh whisky was lauded to the
skies, in the following terms:
welsh whisky is the most wonderful
whisky that ever drove the skeleton
from the feast or painted landscapes In
the brain of man. 1t is the mingled

HOPEFUL sUFFRAGErTs
From the washington Post.

1t appears that the suffragettes are not
dismayed by the shelving of the "concili-
alton bill in the house of commons
Women who desire the ballot in this
country will not admit defeat in England.
1t is their view, as expressed by Mrs.
Ida Hustled Harper. that the subject will
be submitted to the voters at the next
general election. In that hope lies the
cause of the present seemingly pacific
silence Of the militants. They realize
that the sidetracked measure was dread
ed by the liberals lest 1t should increase
the power of the conservatives.
The compromise was not satisfactory
to either side. The women did not like
half a loaf; and. on the other hand. there
was fear that to grant them fraction
would enable them to seize the, whole.

further note Of optimism from the cour-

charcterlzes the arguments of the ants

But that competition is already pres
