The Return of the Repub-
Lican ProdigaL

Shortly before the election somebody
wrote an article about the return of the
return of the prodigals-a newspaper
story to the effect that as soon as the ell
ection was over the Republicans, who
had left the party and followed the for
tunes of the Progressives, would return
to the fold.
But the weeks have slipped by and
there isn't great rush of prodigals so
far observable. William Allan White,
himself one of those who left the party
of his nativity and took up" with the
Bull Moosers, has read the story about
the prodigal' 5 return, and he comments
upon it in his own inimitable way in the
Emporia Gazette. We quote more to
show pleasing literary style than be-
cause we are personally interested in the
fortunes of either the Republican or the
Progressive party as such:
THE movement for the return of
the Prodigal Son seems to be admir-
ably staged, no detail of the spectacle
seems to be lacking excepting the

the sooner you try to become released
from the clutches of these vicious habits
the better you are both physically and
mentally. We should all have tenacity
of purpose. We start in one direction
and wind up in another, why? Because
we don't seem able to direct our own
actions. We need balance wheelt to get
control of ourselves. Do you think
man is exercising good sense when he
drinks something which he know will
cause him to lose control of his thinking
powers, and lead him into crime? Man
must have fixed purpose and also the
frmness to say no when he is tempted
by these serpents of dishonor and de-
graduation.

VIM. j. Bryan on the
Chautduqua

Mr.. Bryan said recently, as an intro
duction to one of his lectures; 81 have
for seventeen years been using the chau-
tauqua platform as a means of reaching
the public and / acknowledge an increas-
ing appreciation of the opportunity which
it affords for presenting a message.
did not think it presumptious to aspire
to go from the chautauqua platform to
the White House and had been elected
l would not have considered it stepping
down to return from the White House to
the chautauqua platform. In a land
like ours, where public opinion rules, it
is surely an honorable ambition to seek
to aid i'll the molding of an opinion that
will compel such governmental action as
is proper and restrain such government
al practices as are improper In some
respects, a chautauqua audience is sup
erior to a political audience. In politi-
cal audience ones auditors are broadly
speaking divided into three groups. In
the first group are political friends who
come with a predisposition to accept
what is said; in the second group are
political opponents who are predisposed
to reject what is said in the third group
are those who come for curiosity and who
retire when their curiosity is satisfied.
A chautauqua audience is composed of
those who come because they want to
hear and who listen that they may hear. |
They remember anything that is worth
remembering and they multiply any good |
seed that may be sown. am glad that
more and more of our public men are
giving time to the chautauqua platform. |
1t gives the people a chance to learn |
from public men their views on import
ant public questions without campaign |
coloring; it gives public men a chance
to come in touch with the people and to
feel the public pulse and last but not
least, it affords legitimate means of add
ing to ones income-a means not to be
underestimated at this time when pred
atory interests seek to allure public men
from duty by secret employment.

A Voice from the

You cannot use liquor or any degrading
drug and expect to have an enviable
reputation, as there are elements assoc
lated with these habits when INDUCED in

leads men and women into crime and de-
gradation. We say to ourselves, 1 am

not chew or smoke enough to injure my
health, neither do drink enough to in
jure me, am conservative, I only use
so much of this or that, and it does not

that absurd cold storage variety o.
Cupid. Such a toilette or lack OF
toilette should suggest his translation
to a home for the feeble-minded.
Would it not be more reasonable
to suppose Time, now moving into new
premises (not into flat-but to be a

have a blithe, buxom, rosy-cheeked

tain three of the seasons at least
spring, summer, autumn-as unmar-
ried female persons. Let us picture
Time with this maid, who, coming at
the beginning of leap year, boldly
pops the question and marries out
of hand, taking the place Of that
grouchy Dame December, who is dis
missed somewhat summarily and sent
packing over the hills.
"As for Father Time, he never be-
comes old, his acts being seven ages.

instances he nobly plays his part;

There never was but one mortal
that seriously tried to stay in the
prolonged Marathon race with Time.
That was the grand old man, Methuse-
lah, and he had to give up beaten at
969 years-a foolish contest, as Time,
rare old athlete that he is, not only
knows all the rubs, but is the sole
patentee and possessor of the vainly
sought elixir of life.
at is we'll there never was but one
human being who carried the burden
of mortality such preposterous num-
ber of years, until it became an irradi-
cate habit. Imagine how two or three
Methuselahs in this age would disar-
range the expectancy Of life and dis
turb the most carefully and adroitly
arranged mortuary tables. Think
what a continuing affront terrestrial
lingerer like that would be even to
the most patient and conservative
funeral director and to the old sexton
as he mumbles his deep bass song
I Gather Them In, Gather Them In
What a relief it was at last when
the grand old man was gathered to
his fathers and ceased to be the
pioneer settler and oldest inhabitant,
the last authority on the coolest win
ter and the hottest summer Of whom
all stood in awe, who knew every
thing that had ever happened in
and who if he were alive
today would probably be able to give
the names of all the vice presidents
of the United States!
"And yet how brief is the record
of this modest man, this first con-
servative citizen of the world-Me-

Methcds Employed In Treatment OF
Tubereulosls.

After the cause of tuberculosis had
been proved % be a specific germ
the tubercle bacillus-there was a
new search begun to find a specific
remedy which would destroy this
germ in the lungs and so stop the
disease.
1t seems to be an instinct in human
nature to be ever seeking a specific
remedy, an easy cure, for the dis
eases Of mankind; to swallow a drug
seems to so many persons a much
more direct and easy method of cure
than the slower and more certain
process Of following Nature's Laws
and correcting errors in ones mode
Of life.
There have been many "Sure
Cures" for consumption brought forth,
but they have soon passed into oblivi-
on. The ouly treatment which has stood
the test OF time and the one univers-
ally employed at the present day Is
the so-called ""open.air treatment"
