One of our exchanges, independent
ia politics, remarks: "Mr. Roosevelt
stood sponsor for Mr.. Taft in 1908 and
on his recommendation and indorse-
ment Mr.. Taft became president Of
the United States. Mr.. Taft's NOM
ination which occurred recently at
Chicago is also accredited to Mr..
Roosevelt for had he flung away am
bition" and thrown his strength to
LaFollette Taft would not have re-
oeived the nomination. Now third
party is planned hy Mr.. Roosevelt
This can only result in one thing and
that is the election of Mr.. Taft. The
third party will divide the progressive
vote iu both parties and leave Mr..
Taft the solid old line republican vote
which it is claimed will be sufficient
to elect. Thus il Is seen that Mr..
Taft has been, is now and will be the
creature of Mr.. Roosevelt's acts.
There is no particular objection to it
except that IL the people desire the
election of Mr.. Taft it ought to be done
directly and not In round about
way"

Cleanliness and Arsenic.

In Styria and Carinthia there Is
much arsenic eating among the peas.
ants. The women take 1t to give
themselves a good complexion and to
make their hair fine and glossy. The
men take 1t because they believe that
1t gives them wind in climbing In the
chase after chamois. In Styria and
Carinthia 1t is known that an arsenic
eater can never be broken Of the habit
and that If arsenic be compulsorily
kept from the eater death rapidly en-.
sues. 1t is believed in the Tamar-

senic worker Is at for no other work.

pIuckino Sheen,

The pure bred sheep in Shetland are
not shorn, but plucked. The process
takes place generally in June. when
the fleece is ripe" and the silky wool
can be pulled Off without pain. This is
called "rooing" and is much less dam
aging to the young fiber than clipping
with shears. The wool when thus ham
died retains its peculiar softness, so
that any one Of experience can tell
whether the material of knitted ar
ticle has been plucked or shorn. 1t
ripens first upon the neck and shoul-
ders, SO that sheep half pulled resem-
ble in some sort poodle that is
clipped. We must suppose that harsher
handling prevailed at one time, for we
read that in 1916 the Scottish privy
council spoke Of the custom as still
kept up "in some remote and uncivil
Places" and James I. wrote to tell
them that 1t had been put down in Ire
land under penalty of fine. Upon
this they passed an act on March II,
1916, deploring the destruction Of sheep
thus caused and imposing similar fines
on those who should persist in the
practice.

a p;seatorial Gunner.

The jaculator fish, the piscatorial gun
ner of the Javan lakes, uses his mouth
as q squirt gun and is marksman OF
no mean ability. Go to small lake or
pond filed with specimens of jacula-
tors, place stake or pole in the water
with the end projecting from one to
three feet above the surface, place n
beetle or fly on top of the pole and
await developments. Soon the water
will be swarming with flnny gunners,
each anxious for shot at the tender
morsel which the experimenter has
placed in full view. Presently one
comes to the surface, steadily observes
his prey and measures the distance.
Instantly he screws his mouth into the
funniest shapes imaginable, discharges
a stream of water with precision equal
to any sharpshooter and knocks the fly
or beetle into the water, where he is In
stantly devoured by the successful
Nimrod or some of his hungry horde.
This sport may be kept up as long as
the supply of beetles and flies holds
out

The Air Mile,

The air mile Is a unit of measure
ment that came into use with the ad-
vancement Of aviation. We have the
land mile and the sea mile. which Is
approximately one-seventh longer than
the land mile of America. The nautical
mile is often Incorrectly called n knot.
but knot Is a measure of both dis
tance and time. 1t Is correct to say
that vessel makes ten knots, but to
say that she makes ten knots IN hour
is tautology. The air mile is measured
differently from the land mile and the
sea mile, 1t Is a land mile minus the
retardation Of an adverse wind or plus
the accleration Of a favoring wind,
Thus an aviator could cover many air
miles while lowering over q given point
an tho earth's surface, - Brownings

Thirteenth Ohio district in the house.
He Is so popular his constituents name
children after him.
Mr.. Anderson, who is only thirty-five,
prides hlmself on having more chill
dren named after him than Abraham
Lincoln had In the heyday of his popu-
larlty. Anderson says there are more
Carl Carey Andersons in his district
than Theodore Roosevelts and William
Howard Tafts combined. Recently
Anderson got an old soldier pension.
The soldier wrote to the congressman:

expect to have any more, SO I can't
name one after you. But just bought
a beautiful parrot and l named 1t Carl

FIDDL|NC BOB
AS A FINANC|ER.
How Senator Taylor Proved His
Qualifications.

When the Democrats Of Tennessee
were running up and down the state in
q desperate search for q suitable can
didate for the governorship on their
ticket the name of Senator Bob Taylor
was mentioned. By some the idea Of
nominating Taylor was received with
wild enthusiasm, but one faction Of
the Democrats let out this cry:
"Give the state business governor
| and business government. What
does Taylor know about business?"
Taylor, 1t may be mentioned, is one
of the grandest performers on the fid-
die since the time of Nero, and he Is
not regarded as deep student Of busi-
ness.
He was nominated and took the
stump IN an effort to convince tho pe0-
pie that he should be elected. In
little town where he was billed to
speak his attention was called to an
article in newspaper which claimed
that he was inexperienced In the IN
tricacies of finance and was unfit to
undertake the work Of funding the
state debt during his term IL he should
be elected. To this Taylor made the
following reply:
"This paper says I should not be
elected on the ground that l know
nothing about finance or the funding
Of the state debt. My friends, what is
the funding of the state debt but TAX
ing up one note and putting down an.
other3 have no hesitation in de-
claring that am eminently qualified
for that work. have been doing It
for myself all my llfe."-Popular Mag.

The false note at Baltimore was

Democratic harmony--the harmony of

hunger for office. Harmony among

cess of bribery and legislative manip-
ulation in putting men in the Senate
to represent the special privilege class.
The vote of 55 to % against Lori

months extended to other states in

cations when Saturdays roll call was

1t is the opinion of a lea ding political
writer, that Woodrow Wilson will
make q stronger candidate, and If
elected, better President than any of
the other men in nomination before
the Baltimore convention, cannot te
thoughtfully disputed; and it is not
seriously denied anywhere outside the
circles of those whose enthusiasms
were otherwise enlisted. His lnde-
pendenoe has teen proved under the
most trying circumstances. His pro.
gressivism has endured the best of
tests His popular strength was dem
onstrated at the primaries to be great
or than that of any of bis adversaries.
For purely party purposes, Others
might have been preferred, men whose
boast it is that they have always Eeen
loyal to the Democratic machine; but
for this transition period in the affairs
of mankind, when old things are pass
ing away and all things political are
becoming new. not only in the Unit
ed States but throughout the civilized
world, Woodrow Wilson is as nearly
as possible an ideal candidate. To
few other men could William j.
Bryan have transferred his we'll worn
and untainted commission from the
democratic Democracy as their leader
in the iIrepressible conflict of masses
against classes, with equal confidence
In the new leaders, fidelity; to none
other could he have done so with as
much confidence in the new leaders
triumph at the polls next November.
1t remains now for Wilson to execute
that commission with Bryan's faith
fulness and courage. Should he mea-
sure up to this standard. he will se-
cure for himself that devotion of the
masses which only three democratic
leaders besides Bryan have won in
the whole history of the United States.

WASHINGTON, Sep. l.--Represen-
ltative Lloyd, of Missouri, chairman of
the democratic congressional cam
Epaign committee, who has just return
ed from a trip in the west tonight
said
The real contest this year seems
to be between the Roosevelt and Tai.
factions for second place. III the
politicians have seen seem to be
willing to admit that Wilson will be
elected, but the Roosevelt men
have met are all certain that he will
get more votes than Taft. 1t randlns
! to be seen whether an active, ener-
getic lot of campaigners, such as
Roosevelt has, will be able to get
more votes out than the apparently
quiescent, disheartened Taft men,
Lloyd will go to Chicago next
Thursday to open the democratic com
mittee headquarters in the Congre IS
hotel. Representative Page of North
Carolina is to be in charge of the
headquarters.
All the democratic speaking liner
aries will be arranged from Chicago
and Lloyd said he would spend most
of his time there. He said he did nor
expect to get any speakers on the
stump before October.
