PEOPLE WIDE AWAKE
Presldent 10 Forced to Make a Tour Of
Nation With an Apology for the
shortcomings OF Hls
Party.

In an address to the Democratic
state convention Of Illinois Mayor Car
ter Harrison Of Chicago summed up
the political situation as follows:
In the last few years the people of
this nation have been awakening to
the fnsincerity of Republican plat
forms and the insincerity of Repub-
lican pledges. The most notable ex-
ample, the one known to all citizens
or the nation, is the downward revi-
sion plank of the last Republican con-
vention and the action of a Repub-
lican senate, of a Republican presi-
dent, Republican congress in dealing
with that question:; an action which
today causes the president of the
United States to be making tour of
the nation with an apology for his
part In it.
THE people of this nation are be-
ginning to realize this fact. They real
ize they must look for relief to the
Democracy that has resulted In Demo-
cratic victories which have cheered
the Democratic party for the last
two years.
In that time our party has gained
a governor in Maine, governor in
Massachusetts. a governor in New
York, governor in Connecticut, a gov
ernor In New Jersey. governor in
Ohio, and governor in Indiana. More
than that, the nation has selected a
Democratic house of representatives
and that magnificent body of true
Democrats in its last session showed
to the nation the difference between
the way In which Democracy handles
It's party pledges and the Republican
party handles it's pledges
These are days, my friends, when
1t feels good to be Democrat. And
yet. when we look abroad at it's mag
nificent succession of Democratic vic
tories in other states we Democrats
In Illinois wonder what has become of
our party. We ask ourselves what, in
these years, has Democracy done? And
the best answer we can give is il has
elected Republican senator of the
United States
My friends, Democracy is a party
or principle. Democracy stands con-
secrated to the rights of the people. II
democracy is untrue to its principles
II 1t forgets for what purpose it was
called into being, Democracy cannot
succeed; it does not deserve to sue
ceed.
I'VE ask you, my friends, to Join
with us today in movement which
will bring about reorganization OF
the party or party management We
do not want to drive a single Demo.
crat from the party, but we do insist
that the leaders Of the party shall be
men that believe in Democratic princi.
pies. On that kind of a platform, my
friends. we can go into the fight OF
1912, and in that great conflict the
Democracy. of Illinois will do it's full
share of work in bringing about q
Democratic victory in rescuing the
state OF Illinois from the Republican
party. placing a Democrat, whoever he

BEST KNOWN FISH IN WORLD

Pelorus Jack is the best known fish
In the world, and it is claimed that he
has been well-known to seafaring
men in Cook strait, New Zealand, for
some 35-years. He meets practically
all steamers on the Nelson-Wellington
run, by day and night, and escorts
them from five to ten miles. If two
steamers meet, he leaves the one he Is
attending and escorts the other. If
two are proceeding in the same dire
ton, he accompanies one for som
short distance, then goes back to wait
upon the other. This, as we have
noted, he is said to have done for 35
years. He has been shot at on numer-
GUS occasions, but the New Zealand
government, by an order in council,
in September, 1904, ordered that he
should be protected for the next five
wears. In May of 1906 he was again
specially protected by clause 40 Of the
fishing regulations; so he Is now i'm
muns until May, 1911. He would
have been guarded before, but It was
found difficult to determine his species.
He is now classed as a 0rampus Girls

HEREDITARY PAuPsRIsM.

A very careful investigation has
been recently made in England with
a view to determining by scientific In
Quiry how far pauperism might be
dealt with as a transmissible and
hereditary evil. The investigation
goes TO show that pauperlsm tends TO
recur in successive generations of the
same family. says the Philadelphia
Record. 1t is propagated in large de
gree by free unions among unmarried
persons OF moral feebleness and con-
sequent iliegtmacy, as shown by
backward examination Of pedigree.
Paupers appear to prefer pauper al
liances. The resulting inbreeding
tends to the perpetuation of degea
crates. Much Of course, may be due
to environment as a consequence Of
herding paupers together in poor
houses or warehouses; provided at the
public expense, but If heredity be a
dominating factor in producing and
reproducing through succeeding gen
erations a definite pauper stock, with
a native incapacity to live in any
other way except as social parasites.
the laws should be shaped so far as
possible to bring about a means OF
prevention. There should be sex sep
aration in so far as such a rule could
be enforced by state authority. We
take great pains to secure the propa'
ganda Of healthy and superior breeds
Of domestic animals. There seems to
be no sound reason for a failure to
protect ourselves as far as we may
against the deterioration Of the hui
man stock.

FOX HUNT IN A CHURCH

The depredations Of fox which
took refuge in a church when hard
pressed by hounds have just come to
light The Cheshire EngD hounds,
hunting from Winsford, were soon on
the track of a gallant fox, but lost him
almost as suddenly as they found him.
The hunt came to its abrupt termin-
alton near over Congregational
church. Two days later the caretak-
er Of the church found the building in
a state Of great disorder. The font
was smashed, vases for the commun-
ion table lay smashed on the floor,
hassocks, ripped and torn, lay about
in confusion, and in the vestry every
thing was topsy-turvey. Hiding in the
chimney was a fox. While the care
taker was searching for assistance,
Reynard emerged from his retreat,
but was Immediately set upon by the
caretaker's terrier, an exciting chase
ensuing among the pews. Ultimately
the fox escaped by a door left open by
the caretaker.

Many of these patients, it is said,
make occasional visits to the shopping
district, to banks, or to hospitals, rid

Six physicians from different parts
of the United States and the American
colonial possessions discussed leprosy
at the meeting, and all agreed that in
New York city there is no likelihood
of infection. They declare in favor OF
a national leprosaria, with stations in
Florida and San Francisco, urging in
favor of such an institution that II
was impracticable for the states tc
take action on account of the small
number of cases in each state and II
was unfair from a national standpoint
to allow one state to drive Its lepers
across the border into other states
There are now on record, it was as
serted, 278 cases in the United States
176 of them being men and lO3
women. Five seaboard states contain

M EW YORK-Nine lepers, inmates
IN of institutions in the vicinity of
this city, were exhibited the other
night for public examination at a gath
ering of physicians in the Academy of
Medicine. One of the patients, a China
man, was from Paterson, N. j.; two
we're from Brooklyn, two from the
city hospital, three from the skin and
cancer hospital. The purpose of ex.
hibiting the lepers is stated to be the
beginning of an effort ito educate the
public away from the hysterical atti-
ture it has heretofore shown when
ever the presence of a leper becomes
a matter of general knowledge"
It was declared that the attitude of
the people in general toward lepers
has not in the least advanced since
the middle ages, and that, as a re-
suit, many lepers, in fear and terror,
conceal the fact that they aer suffer

plying for and receiving humane and
intelligent treatment. There are at
present 35 cases of leprosy under
