Hackettstown, N. j., Feb. 9.--Alon-
20 Wire, Of this place, who was for
twelve years head OF the police depart
ment, Gays that for the past twenty
years he has not closed his eyes In
sleep. He came near 1t, he says, sever
al times recently, when he found him
self getting drowsy In front Of hot
dre, but whom he would attempt to
take advantage Of 1t and lie down to
compose himself for the long sought
nap sleep would fit away aad he
would pass the night, as he passed 20
many others, In wide eyed wakeful-
nsss.
He does not go to bed now but re-
clines on couch In the front room Of
his home, where in the darkness liza
allows his thoughts to wander and
confuse themselves ~ they will in tie
nearest semblence TO sleep Of which he
Is capable. Neither Wire nor the ply
sieians who have studied his case are
able to assign cause for the condition
nor can they explain why 1t is that
he has rstsined state Of robust
health for all these years Of In
somnia. He has even done bard manu-
al work in the open air at frequent In
tsrvals without being able to WOO the
cogoda ysss of sleep.
The only result at all noticeable
from his long continued waketuIness
has been a loss Of weight In the past
score Of years amounting to bstween
seveuty-five and eighty pounds. He
used to weigh nearly $50 pounds and
now he tips the scales at barely 200.
Wire says he suffers from more or
less rsstlessness at times, but the
strange malady has not impaired his
health or strength to any degree. A
recent attack Of bronchitis and gall
stones has worn him down far more
than the twenty years of no sleep. His
physicien, who says that Wires age,
SO, 10 such now that he ought to have
regular and ample rest, has been treat
ing him with view to inducing drow-
slness, but thus far without result. He
says, however, that when he has con-
qusred the slight ailments mentioned
he will nave his patient in state Of
mind where rest Is possible.

The Insurne.t West Getting Rs.ay for
War.

Ray Stannard Baker contribute. =
remarkable article to the February
American Magazine On the Insurgent
revolt In Congress. He has recently
been West and thoroughly combed the
country in an endeaver to get at the
real feeling Of the people In that sea-
tion AS regards the Eight that some Of
their representatives in Congress are
i waginx. Mr.. Bakers observations are
particularly interesting as compared
with the impresrioas he received IN
the same territory Ave years ago, when
he was investigating the railroad stu
alton. He writes:
"About five years ago I.made a trip
through much the same territory that
l have covered during the Last few
weeks. I was studying the Railroad
problem, and remember how DIM
cult it was to find mon who where in
formed on the subject or who dared TO
talk. A lone fighter here and there was
contsnding against overwhelming
odds. Most of the politicians-thsugh
La Toilette, Cummins, Lsnroot, Stubbs
and few others were then in the fight
were on the other side, defending the
railroad political bosses aud doing all
they could to smother progressive leg
islation. And they were backed almost
folidly by the business interests great
and small.
To-day everything 10 changed, or
direct primaries, the com nission form
Of administering city affairs (she 'Dss
Moins plan') with the refsrsn dun,
initiative and recall, government IL
coming out at last int the daylight.
The influence Of the railroads upon
politics 10 being clipped ~ means Of
anti-pass laws, the appointment Of
railroad cemissions and the beginning
Of rate regulation. Everywhere the
demand Of the old Grssnbacksrs for
more direct power Of the people over
their government 10 being carried out.
Gas I travelled through the West it
seemed like wholly different couatry
from what 1t was five years ago. Per-
haPs the most surprising things ],
found were the new organizations Of
every sort which where getting joy
| ousiy into the tight, concerning them
selves mere or less vitality with public
affairs, and finding it the best sport in
the world
"Yeu will scarcely find any town in
the West worth mentioning that IL
without it's voluntary citizens associ-
alton, improvement league, city club,
municipal voters league, citizens, as
ISOLATION, or law-enforcement league.
And, as a Minneapolis enthusiast sx-
pressed 1t, they are 'on the job three
| hundred and sixty-five days Iii the
year They are doing more or less I'M
selfi.hly for their cities and states
what the Tammany Halls and the ma
chimes have been so long doing for
selfish ends.
"Now, this is very important ele-
ment in our democratic development
aud no one can understand tbs depth
and vitality Of the Insurgent move
ment who does not take account of
these voluntary cooperative organic
ations. 1t is a curious thing how sbliv-
ious the cid stand-pat party leaders
reto there peoples movements.

-Four Years More OF The Full Dinner
Pail

"Revolutlons have been started by
less than the American people are suf-
fering now,' says Senator Joseph l..
Bristow of K ansas. "Meat foots up to
quarter of the average household ex-
penses, and it ought to be cheaper to-
day instead of dearer than it was
twenty-five years ago, because OF the
greater economy in lis preparation and
sale. When 1 was BODY % per cent
of the carcass went to waste. Now no
thing goes to waste-not even the

Senator Bristow's words crystalize
the sentiment of protest in all parts OF
the country against the higher cost OF
living. Thus far the movement, which
first took form in "a actual boycott at
Cleveland, has met with most success
in the west. The east has been slower

widespread feeling among small deal

protest, would actually play into the

trigerator lines could carry their pro

ON the matter. He informed the gen.
tlsmen that there was no law On the
statute booksaprovidinG for the insPsc-
tion Of imported nursery stock but re-
allzing the urgent necessity Of move
nent in the matter he promised to
give the matter his immediate and
earnest attention and that he would
cheerfully help to get any legislation
through which might give the govern
mont authority to inspeot imported
stock.
Congressman Stursiss will prepare
and Introduce bill covering the mat

upon an English load.
The great WiAiam Pitt, the most
able prime min fster who ever CON
trolled the de stinies of the kingdom
came into ofdce at Christmas. 1879

A Resolution
I'd for co
New Years

The noblest resolution that any citi-
zen could make for the new year
would be the resolution to live more
faithfully by tn, golden rule. that sub
lime principle of conduct for this
world and for al worlds. Failure to
live by this law causes the chief sor-
rows and collisions among men. says
Edwin Markham In Success.
Let each earnest man search into
his words and ways. determined to
find the special manner in which he
breaks the golden law-his special
habit that works injustice or unhappi-
ness In his shop. his ONCE. his home.
his city. He will find. perhaps. that
in the shop he Is in the habit OF mis-
placing tools, and this binders the
work of his comrades: that In the Of
fee he IL In the habit of being late
in keeping appointments, and thus
steals other peoples time; that in the
club he Is In the habit of belittling
worthy competitors. and thus Joins the
gang Of thieves who steal regulations;
that in the home he Is In the habit of
monopolizing the conversation. and
thus fails to draw out the powers Of
others: that In the city he Is in the
habit of splitting on the sidewalk. and
thus spells the comfort Of his towns
men; that in business he is in the
habit Of misrepresenting his goods.
:'nd thus robs under the cover Of Gus
tom.

Results of Good Farming.

This dry year has clearly demon.
strated the great possibilities of the
soil in this section when properly cul-
tivated. says the Conrad Observer.
There are instances where a line fence
divides a good crop of grain and q
total failure. One was summer fall
lowed and cultivated, while the other
was plowed in a slipshod manner and
the seed thrown in the ground any old
way.
As an instance of this about eight
miles northeast of town Joe Kroeze
has a crop of eighty acres of spring
wheat that is estimated will make 20
bushels to the acre while across the
road the crop Is a total failure. Mr..
Kroeze guilty ated his land and care
was taken in putting in the seed.
A great lesson has been learned in
the year 1910. The land must be
thoroughly cultivated to insure q crop
at any and all times.

PADDED CENSUS LISTS.
Great Falls Enumerators On Trial
In Federal Court.

HELENA, Aug. 1.-THE case. hum.
orously referred to around the federal
building as the case Of the ''census
bureau against the padded population
OF Great Falls" but entered on the In.
dictments more soberly q the case of
the United States against William
Martin and Joseph Thompson, was
called for trial in the federal court to.
day. Martin and Thompson, who
were enumerators employed in the re-
cent census, are alleged to have pad.
ded the census returns in an effort to
make Great Falls a population rival
of New York and Chicago.
There were four indictments as a
result Of census frauds and alleged
census frauds in the city of Great
Falls and in addition to that the GEN.
sus bureau ordered a recount of the
northern Montana metropolis. Two
of the four men indicted recently
changed their pleas to pleas of guilty
and were sentenced to serve "a hours
in jail and pay a fine of $3.50 each.
The fines were promptly paid. Mar.
tin and Thompson, however, refused
to plead guilty, and will stand trial.
That if there was any padding of the
census, the Great Falls chamber of
commerce is responsible, will be the
defense raised by Joseph Thompson,
former enumer ator whose trial started
in the federal court this afternoon on
q charge of having made false, 1ictiti.
Gus and fraudulent returns ia the
schedules returned by him. At the
conclusion of the Thompson case the
case Of the same kind against W. E.
Martin will be tried.
The nature of the defense was out.
lined in q petition filed by Il. S. Nc.
Ginley, attorney for the defendant,
setting forth that defendant was with
out sufficient ean to secure the pre-.
sence Of witnesses needed by the de-
tense. Then the petition recited the
nature OF the testimony it is expected
that the witnesses will give.
In substance, Thompson contends
that when he a. given to understand
that all slips containing names that
were sent TO him by the Great Falls
chamber Of commerce we're to be &C.
copied as official and that having this
understanding, be so accepted the
names, and was therefore not respon.
