most formidable candidate for the
honor to which he aspires.
Coy. BurleigI is the second Repub-
lican to announce himself as a candi-
date for senator, Hon, Frederick \.
Powers of Houlton having previously
stated that his name would go before
the primaries for the senatorship, and
it is generally believed that there will
be others.
1t l. known that Coy. Cobb has at
least been considering announcing his
candidacy and 1t is not unlikely that
there will he one or more candidates
frnm the western part of the state.
The announcement of Gov. Burleigh
that he would try for the senatorship
leaves the field clear for the Republl
cans i'm tile third district Who are am
bilious to go to Congress To make
public proclamation of their ambition
and il is net unlikely that they VIII
lie forthcoming shortly.
John \. Peters. esq. of Ellsworth
and Hon. Forrest Goodwin of Skow-

been mentioned as possible candi-
dates.

Need Light in Darke County.

disappearing Bridges is the title
OF a New York Sun editorial of the
usual style, but, as it contains no
reference TO covered bridges we
wish To amend the following:
The trees that move and the stones
that speak have been outdone in
Darke county Ohio. An investiga-
ton of county affairs there has shown
that bridges. and even whole roads,
have been known TO disappear Two
Detectives sent to look for the bridges
reported that they could find only
few of them, Taxpayers seratehed
their heads and remembered that the
examiners in their report, had said'
we are unable to find many of the
bridges which. according to the pup
lished report of the county commits
sioners, have been built and repaired.
These mysteries occurred in
place appropriately named GreenViile
The grand jury has been. sitting there
in order to investigate those invisible
bridges. Some of the wiser taxpay-
ers have declared that they have be-
gun to realize that vast sums OF
money have been squandered. either
through incompetency. or negligeney,
or dishonesty" In justice to the more
trustful part of the community. ex-
perts will incline TO the opinion that
negligent and incompetent persons are
not capable of ereaing disappearing
bridges, let alone roads. and it is safe
To say that more light should be shed
upon the affairs of Danke county. A
few skeptieal farmers hold this viey,
and the prosecutor is reported to have
been busy all day going over the data
But how can bridges that never were
furnish data? 1t looks as though
Darke county will have to charge these
astral bridges and imaginary roads to
the experience account.

Republican Patriots Who Thinks They

Senate.

Gewisten Evening Journal9
Congressman Burleigh formally
cutters the lists for United States sena-
tor. There are now three candidates
for United States Senate-Powers.
Burleigh and Cobb-and more to fol-
low Among the additional candidates
foreboded are John A. Peters of Ellis
worth and Forrest Goodwin of Show
hogan. Many gentlemen are ambitious
to succeed Senator Gardner, who by
nomination of the Governor, is filing
out Senator Frye's unexpired term.
None of the candidates has so far
given us any clue touching his plat
form The only candidate who has
spoken at all of his political creed
has carefully avoided all other issues
but one State issue, with which the
United States senator has naught to
do Are these candidates pronounced
for the Taft misinterpretation Of the
Republican tariff of 1908? Ii so, do
these candidates believe with Taft
that the Roosevelt and La Toilette
policies are reform nostrums? If so.
they should have the courage of their
convictions The people have been

things than the Ten Commandments.
Politicians who admire the Sermon on
the Mount voted in Congress in 1903 to
tax the consumer one and half cents
ON Sugar Trust products. and to tax
the people 90 per cent. too much for
steel, while in many other ways they
promoted justification whose evils
they We're pledged to arrest. Do these
gentlemen oppose the income tax and
favor consuming the consumer
through such schedules as those OF the
Aldrich tariff?
It is not enough for candidates 10

Lewiston rum sellers are complain
ing bitterly at the administration be-
cause so many have been allowed to
go into the business that there IL lit
tie profit for anyone. These illicit re-
tailers are talking of forming trust
among themselves to regulate the size
of the drink and the price which must
be paid for it. And also to freeze
sirable retailers. Contrary to the doe
trine of the promoters of the liquor in
terests, these dealers claim that be-
cause competition is 50 keen they
must reduce the size of the glass OF
beer and perhaps cheaper the quality
of the hard stuff. The claims OF
those who are now fighting for license,
and for regulation, have always
been that where Iiquor dealers are in
fear of the law, they supply only the
cheapest and most poisonous OF intox-
icants, but that where the traffic is
much better quality of poison is
served. Perhaps, after all, the quick
est way to disgust people with the
entire traffic and the claims of the
liquor interests is to allow them to go
ON as they have in recent months,
both officials and criminals having
their own way and sharing the profits
Of their Illicit business. and thus dis
! gushing the people of the State.

What Alcohol Does to the System.

The following from the Medical
Record has been reprinted by the
Boston Transcript and other papers
and seems to be the class of material
evidence against booze that was de-
manded of us by an Augusta young
man recently and before referred to:
The fact that alcohol is in large
doses physiologically a depressant. SO
often ignored by the public and by
their preceptors, the physicians, as
well, acquires additional Importance
from the circumstance that the ma
jority of men and women will not do
to excess what they know is harmless
to them Great is the evil that has
come to the human race through the
misuse of the term stimulant for de-
pressant. IL ii is the duty of the
medical man to teach his public that
the familiar house-fy Is a typhoid
fly" surely it is his duty to instruct
his public that alcohol is d depres-
SAINT. crushing, and .subduing''
rather than a stimulant .goading on"
TO increased actiyity-asthenie and al
most never sthenie. The immeasur
able misery caused by alcohol in this
world of ours. as is generally recog-
nizea, lies largely in two of the cir
eumstanees related to alcohol; one of
these is that the drug is sedative
and financially. as well as otherwise,
a very expensive one: the other one is
that habituation To It's use is both
easy and enslaving. Let US see then
how it is a depressant in each es-
sential phase of its physiological
working.
In metabolsm, ii acts always even
In small amounts. to lower the body
temperature, and in quantity il cools
the tissue protoplasm beyond recov-
cry. The sense OF body heat, of
course, arises almost wholly in the
skin and alcohol raises the surface
temperature by marked yasodilata-
ton. This effect far outbalanees
whatever increase of heat-production
comes from it's indigenous eombus-
tion. Herein is the most essential OF
all possible modes of depression
Despite the fact that in amounts OF
not over 50 or so c. G. daily alcohol is
oxidized largely in the musculature
the action of the muscles is disorgan-
lied and rendered less powerful al

stimulation of the heart in rate ant
