Dean Perisho of the state uni
versity touched a popular chord in
his address at the Moody county
fair. He said:
Whenever | see man going
up and down this country strenu-
ously advocating the yearly build
ing of four or five great battleships
at cost of 10 to Is millions of
dollars each the only purpose of
which is the destruction of property
aud human life, when all the
tendencies of the age are towards
peace and industrial development,
then I always fear that if the cur
tain could be lifted behind the
scenes, we would find that these
advocates of a great navy in the
United States have some secret
connection with the American steel
company"

The result Of the republican pri-
maries in Massachusetts are not
particularly encouraging to the
bull moose followers. The total
republican vote polleG for governor
was 81, ,456, while in 1911, bsfore
the new party was organized the
vote was 1859 This is fall
ing off Of only about $4,000 votes
to represent the bull moose
strength Fhis shows the repub-
lican vote within 5000 of the total
democratic vote and would indicate
that Mr., Taft has a good chance
OF carrying the state.

Gov. Hadley of Missouri has
sent his ultimatum to President
Taft agreeing to support him for
re. e.election if be will come out in
favor OF presidential preference
primary votes, and abolishing OF
boss rule in the South. This is
rather inconsistent IN the governor
as it is a virtual acknowledgement
that Mr.. Tafts record as a presi-
dent, the only thing that he should
be Judged by, is satisfactory, but
the governors support is condi-
toned upon the president assum-
ing the attitude of a boss, presum-
ing to dictate how the republican
party shall conduct its conventions
The commendable thing in Mr..
Taft is that he has never assumed
to be a dictator, and the demand
that he shall do so comes with
poor grace from one who claims
to be opposed to machine politics.
A one man convention may be all
right for bull moose politics, but
the policy Of republicans has al
ways been in favor of majority
rule. A preferential primary is
not Objectionable, provided it is
taken by congressional districts but
a state wide preferential primary
is designed to rob the minority in
every state of represertati ton. 1t
is system of unit rule which is
the essence of machine politics,
and should be condemned by every
one who believes in a fair repre-
sentation of public sentiment in a
convention.

The report comes from Chicago
that the condition of Congressman
Burke is quite serious. He recent

what the doctors supposed to be
gall stones, but the diagnosis
proved to be wrong The appendix

removed, and the liver was found
to be enlarged about twenty five
per cent above normal size. The

In the decision of the supreme
court refusing to grant the injunc-
tion restraining the authorities
from placing Roosevelt electors at
the head of the republican ticket,
the court holds that it would be an
empty and idle act" as the re-
moval of these electors would not
give the repu blicans authority to
fill the vacancies. This would
leave the republican ticket blank
where electors should be, and all
electors would have to be put on
as independent.

SCOTLAND, BON HoMME COUNTY, D., THURSDAY. ooTol

A press dispatch from Aberdeen
states that the legislative com
mittee of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers is sending out
circulars to candidates for the leg
islature asking them to state where
they stand in regard to the electric
headlight law submitted to the
voters under the referendum. The
committee charges that subsidized
newspapers will make every effort
to defeat the law which they claim
is needed safeguard to employees,
So far as this paper is concerned
we haven't heard of any attempt at
substituting, but for personal en-
lightenment we have taken occa-
sion to interview some of the train
men running through Scotland re-
gartling the benefits Of such law.
The opinions seem to be unfavor-
able to the law. The principle OBJ
lection seems to be that the elec-
trio lights dazzle the eyes, and
with them it is difficult for the
engineers to distinguish switch
lights when coming into yard.

Mr.. Roosevelt is a great stick

Mr.. Roosevelt is great stickler
for publicity as q remedy for all
political and economic ills. If the
publicity of corporation affairs
that he promises are no more en-
tightening than his publicity of
campaign contributions the public
will be little the wiser for his in
formation. A few weeks ago his
financial manager reported the ex
pense of the progressive primary
campaign $143,999 81. The SEN
ate Investigating committee has
been digging a little deeper. 1t
has discovered that Bill Finn, the
millionaire boss of Pittsburg, con
tributed 100000 for the Pennsyl-
vania campaign alone, $4,000 OF
which was spent in the city OF
Pittsburg. Mr.. Finn also ac.
knowledged that he spent othe,
amounts on republican and pro
gressive organization work which
he did not class as Roosevelt ex.
penditures." Considering that
this is only one contributor in one
state the amount may yet be
found to run into the millions al

Over in Wisconsin the bull
moosies threatened to put up an
entire independent state and con-
gressional ticket if Gov. McGovern
refused to endorse the third party
movement. In South Dakota &C
cording to bull moose logic, a re-
publican is bolter if he refuses to
support candidates who have gone
over to the third party. Strange
reasoners these moosies. They
have brand of logic to fit every

If the Colonel would subtract the

LIFE IS GROWING LONGER
Present Rate Of increase 10 Found TO
Be Greater Than Ever
Before.

Life is not growing shorter. but DR.,
o. Fl. Howe, a Massachusetts, physi-
clan, finds that the worlds statistics
indicate a steady lengthening for $50
years, with a present rate Of increase
greater than ever before. Records
for Geneva show an average increase
In the average age OF all deaths from
21.2 years In the sixteenth century to
1877 years In the nineteenth. In Mas
sachusetts life is now lengthening
about fourteen years In century, the
average length at the time being about
forty-fye years; In Europe the in
crease per century Is about seventeen
years, and In Prussia, the land OF
medical discovery and It's application.
about twenty-seven years. In India,
which has neglected medical science,
the life span has remained stationary
at only about twenty-five years. The
lengtheping of life In Massachusetts,
has been promoted by the diminution
of infant mortality, by the almost CON-
plete disappearance OF smallpox and
by the lessening of the mortality from
scarlet fever and especially from diph-
iberia to a small fraction of what 1t
was few years ago. Continued study
OF disease germs, of which the num-
ber has increased In twenty-five years
from only two to between twenty and
thirty now known, will further length
en- life. Modern conditions, however,
partially Offset the beneficent work OF
medicine, and Massachusetts statistics
show five times as many deaths from
heart disease in 1895 as in 1850, with
Bright's dease and other kidney dis
orders and cancer more than doubled.

WAGES IN UNITED STATES
Large Proportion of American Work.
men Unable to Maintain Eff.
cient Standard Of Living.

An estimate was made some time
ing of a man, wife and three children
under fourteen could maintain a nor
NAL standard OF living on an annual
income of $500. Then the question
arose as to the number of families
whose income equaled that sum.
Scott Nearing, the economic writer
Of the University of Pennsylvania.
studied the question for many months
and in a book, Wages in the United
States" which was published recent
ly, he states the conclusion that
large proportion of American work
men are unable to maintain an eff
cient standard of living. Three
fourths of the adult men and nineteen
twentieths of the adult women, he
says, actually earn less than 5000 a
year. or to give his conclusions more
in detail, one-half Of the men are
earning less than $500 a year, three.
fourths less than $500, nine-tenths
less than $500, while less than ten
per cent. receive more than that fig
ure. OF the women, one-fifth earn
less than 5000 annually, and three
fifths less than 1925, while only one
twentieth earn more than 5000.
To arrive at these figures Doctor
Nearing takes up various state wage
statistics. Massachusetts, New Jer-
sey, Kansas, Michigan, New Hamp-
shire. Rhode Island and Pennsylvania
are considered, while special wage
reports from Wisconsin and Illinois
are included.

Fall Through.

PITTSBURGH, Sept 12-It is likely
that the proposed series of games be-
tween the Pirates and the. Nationals
will be called off, according to the word
of one of the prominent officials of the
Pittsburgh club today.
The official, whose name is withheld,
stated that he thought 1t would hardly
pay the two teams to take in the inter-
city contests, and, while 1t was only
natural for the players to want the
games, he failed to see how the clubs
would be benefited financially.
Citing instances where the Washing
ton fans failed to support their team
after two defeats when the race for the
American League pennant was hottest,
the official declared that as paying
proposition without the proper support
the teams would surely come out the
short end OF the horn.
1t is known that Manager Clark and
the Pittsburgh players are heartily in
favor Of the intercity games and that
Manager Griffith and the Washington
players want the games played. Definite
arrangements will not be made until
Griffith and Clarke get into conference.
