We hear much about the Demo-

matter of fact there was no Demo

was Republican by as big a majority
as heretofore-more than a million
votes. Colorado would have elected
its state ticket from top to bottom
had not the party been divided. What
effect the lesson will have is hard to
predict. Even the new Democratic

whelming Democratic victory because
of the division in the Republican ranks.
That Mr.. Wilson should have won
nearly all the electoral votes was but
a natural outcome, when his opposi-
tion had two candidates of practically
equal strength. The old majority of
more than a million republican votes
was rolled up. but they were given TO
Roosevelt and Taft in almost equal
proportions. The same conditions in
the matter of congressman insured the
election of majority of Democrats.

composed Of nobIemen and gen.

on the left side Of the mantle or

cIave at cIeves every year, last
ing an entire week. At these
annual meetings the business Of
the organization was transact
ed. and plans laid for future
work. But business did not ab-
sorb the entire attention Of the
members. E.tween sessions they
had a general good time. All
distinctions Of rank were laid
aside for tire time being, and
perfect equality reisned. The
organization was kept up tilI

were gradually lost sight Of, and

A great man has fallen in Israel
this day, says the Peoria Star. Baron
Lister of England is dead. He is the
mar who made a%ntiseptic surgery pos
sible. Before his time the most insig-
nifcant operations were followed by
infection and death. The discoveries
of Pasteur suggested to Lister the
possibilities that the inflammation that
followed "a wound was due to infec-
ton. He began by making his tests
Of sterilization with ~carbolic acid, a
fortunate selection, for it is still re.
garded as one of the best germicides.
The regular physicians treated his dis
~coveries with ridicule and abuse, as
they always do every new departure
from old methods. But, finally, they
realized their full value and now all
surgery is based upon Baron Listers
theories. He was born in 1927, so that
he died full of years and honors.-

Charity is the one great thing need
ed in this country, and especially in
Texas; not that charity that induces
you to give a blind beggar on the
street corner a nickel, but that broader
charity that will enable you to concede
to your fellowman honesty of motive
and purpose. There are some people
in this state who think every other
man who is opposed to their candidate
for governor, or president, is himself
a CRATER and thief and should be in
the penitentiary. The spirit of toler-
ance is a stranger to their poor little,
