a Tammany Convention .

Like the splashing of spray from
the current in a stream, that which
MIR. Bryan and Others have pub
licly declared to be the dominant
spirit of the Democratic national
convention is breaking forth here
and there throughout the proceed
ings in Baltimore. Graft and cor
ruption seem to permeate every
thing. With Tammany in complete
control of everything, the gathering
has resolved itself into a sort. OF
grafters' picnic wherein Tammany
crookedness and Tammany stealth
are conniving to plumber the people
and reyel in the spoils OF a natioe :.
Here is the way representative OF
of a New York city newspaper
reviews the situation:
This is a Tammany convention,
not officially, but in fact, yes. II
you doubt 1t, ask the good people OF
Baltimore. ASK the delegates from
The South, or the West, or the
East, from any place outside Of New
York, They will tell you in dis
gust there is too much Tammany
here to suit them. The cheap
grating, the disorder, the strong
arm methods that are regarded as
typical OF Tammany by the Demo,
Gratis OF other states are all in evil
dence. Today a delegate, man
from Porto Rico, had to bride a
doorkeeper. to let him into the con-
venti0n hall.1s But that ianothinE6

What the Huntington Herald-Dis-
patch says ON this subject as fol-
lows should should commend itself
to ali West Virginia Republicans:

bers loyalty to the state ticket. re-
gardless OF how they may feel with
reference to the national political
situation.
The Herald Dispatch feels deep
degree 'of satisfaction when it notes
this sentiment. This feeling re.
suits partly from the fact that the
unanimous support OF all the Re-
publicans newspapers means success
in the, state, and partly because the
HeraIdlD dispatch was the first news
PAPER to point out the duty of Re-
publIcans in this particular. The
Republican state ticket, the Repub-
ltcan candidates for Congress, and
all the county and district tickets
are the creations of the whole party,
and 1t Is the duty OF the whole party
to stand together for their election.
That the Republican editors and
Republican voters generally have
come enthusiastically forward and
registered their VOWS in favor of
these tickets, means success. There
are no clouds on the state horizon.
Stranger things have happened than
that the clouds should be'lifted from
the party as it is described in the
nation.
Work for the state ticket. Help
elect your congressman and your
county ticket. Be a man. A
mighty good way to be a man is to
be big-hearted, loyal Republican.

THE NEW VITALIsM.

There seems to have been of late
years a marked reaction, even among
men of science, from the mechanistic
conception of life as held by certain
band of scientists to which I have re-
ferred, writes John Burroughs, in the
December number of the North Amer
lean Review. Something like a new
vitaIism is making Roadway both on
the continent and in Great Britain.
This neo-vitalism has found a forceful
expounder in Prof. Arthur Thompson
of Aberdeen university, who has re-
Gently written convincingly in favor of
this view in the HILBERT Journal Prof.
Bunge, Dr. HaIdane, DR.. Driesch,
whom he quotes, urge that biological
problems defy any attempt at a me-
chanical explanation" These men
stand for the idea ''of the creative in
dividuality of organisms and that the
main factors in organic evolution can
not be accounted for by the forces al
ready operative in the inorganic
world. What standing the new vital
ism has among the scientific men of
this country I have little means of
knowing.
When we regard all the phenomena
Of life and the spell it seems to put
upon inert matter, SO that it behaves
so differently from the same matter
before it is drawn into the life circuit,
how it lifts up a world of dead par
tisles out of the soil against gravity
into trees and animals; how it
changes the face of the earth; how it
coI-cs and goes while matter stays;
how it defies chemistry and physics to
evoke it from the nonliving; how its
departure, or cessation, lets the mat
ter fall back to the norganic-when
we consider these and others like
them we seem compelled to think of
life as something, some force or prin-
ciple in itself. as NJ. Bergson does, ex-
listing apart from the matter it ami
mates. As Sir Oliver Lodge does also
We may class Sir Oliver among the
neo-vitalists from remark he is re-
ported to have made recently about
the thing which by interaction with
matter confers on it what we know as
vitality. 1t does not appear to
be a form of energy, but certainly is
guiding principle, utilizing the
forces known to chemistry and phys
les and all the ordinary laws of nature
for ends which appear to lie outside
the known laws of the physical
world

one business house estimates that it
spends $4,000 a year in requiring its
typewriters to use these conventional
phrases. Should we not all save by
omtting them!
OF course, men would save time also
by leaving Off neckties and buttons on
the sleeves of their coats and many
other conventional things. Figure up
the necktie bill. There are about fifty
million males in the United States
alone. Let us assume that half of them
wear neckties at least sometimes. Il
every one of these twenty-five millions
have only one necktie year and that
cost only 25 cents-there's waste Of
six and quarter million dollars year.
Waste? OF course, it's waste. For a
necktie does not keep a man warm.
Follow the matter further. Let us as
sumo that every one of these twenty
five million wearers of neckties con-
sumes minute a day in tying his tie.
you have 1855 minutes a year, or more
than hours. Twenty-Five million times
six hours make the appalling total Of
$50 million hours a year wasted tying
ties. You may figure it out for your
self how many lifetimes are thus con-
sumed.
Efficiency? Yes, by all means, but let
US temper it with common sense and
courtesy.

QUAKER MEDTTATIoNs.

[From the Philadelphia Record.I
It's only a step from the plunger to
the sponger.
Life is full of trials, and the verdict
is generally against us.
The man who calls himself a fool
expects us to disagree with him.
It's the successful man who argues
that there is no such thing as luck.
Money talks. but it is never such a
chatterbox as the people who talk
about it.
When the wolf is at the door we
can at any rate dispense with a watch
dog.
A pessimist is a man who never
hopes for the best because he hates
to be fooled.
Hoax-t'How do you like my friend
the aviator?" Joax-"Oh, he's too
flighty for me-"
There may be plenty of room at the
top, but a man must be pretty well
balanced to remain there.
Distance, as a rule, doesn't magnify,
but the closer we get to some people,
the smaller we find them to be.

A DIAGNOSIS.

ago
haven't been sure of it till within day
or so.
I'd felt some symptoms of it, in a dim.
uncertain way,
since first read the ad about the medi-
cine one day.
Last week, however, I struck on the most
convincing ad .
And now 1 know I've got it, and I know
I've got it bad.
At first I thought saw some floating
specs before my eyes,
ana then I'd feel that laSSItude each
morning when I'd rise;
ana so kept on reading ads about man s
awful ills
Until found 1 suffered from dumb fever,
aches and chills;
L noticed that full feeling for an hour
succeeding meals
felt the way a man in gravest illness
always feels.
Why. I've had the symptoms; I've had
buzzing in the head.
And sudden loss of temper; can't remem-
Der what I've read;
My feet will often ''go to sleep; my fin
gertips get numb
L shouldn't doubt If I should be both
paralyzed and dumb.
And, as say, last week I struck the most
convincing ad-
don't know what may all me, but
know I've got it bad.
I've written to the doctor for that medi-
I'm ready to acknowledge that it's what
he says it is.
I've got my letter written, telling what
I have endured;
My picture has been taken, and I'm ready
to be cured.
I've suffered all the symptoms that the
other patients had
only know I've got it, and I know I've
got it bad.
