is THIS PEACE?

The foreign nations, whose har-
bors are crowded with torpedo boats
and warships, whose strongholds
bristle with cannons-these nations
that stand over against each other
like armed fortresses, and tomorrow
may cause Europe to tremble with
the march of armed men-these peo-
Piles exhibit anything save belief
in social progress through peace low
ing and peacemaking. Today the
world believes that progress rides
forward upon a powder cart. The
angels song of Peace on Earth"
has given place to the song of the
bombshell and the shrek of the can
non ball. II the sword has fallen
from mans hand, it is that it may
be replaced with the pistol
That nation ranks first among the
nations that has the greatest number
of ironclads and the largest stand
ing army. Upon the tomb of the old
Christian scholar who lies buried in
Carthage is carved an open book and
lighted lamp. For the sage loved
to tighten each good man to the
truth and the light. When an Eng
lish yacht anchored off Constantine
pie the owner lost overheard some
treasure, and sent diver down to
recover it. But the diver hurried
back horror stricken, and refused to
return because he found himself
midst human bodies standing up in
the water, each being held down by
a sack filled with stones. Surely
peaceableness is not characteristic of
the Turk! Should we choose SYM
boil for the Turk it would not be the
dove, but the butcher knife, and a
tight moose for the neck.-Rev. New
ell Dwight Hills, ID. D., in The
Christian Herald.

CUMM|NS A CANDIDATE
Iowa Senator Makes Expected An
nouncement of Candidacy.
A SOLID STATE DELEGATION.
Republicans of All Classes Favor
Burying fractional Differences
in Support of IOwan.

United States Senator Albert B.
Cummins of Iowa is a candidate for
the presidency. While it has been
known for some time that he con-
templated this action, the formal an
nouncement was not issued until
Saturday, and is as follows:
$50 much has been published in
the newspapers, so much written and
said to me concerning the presiden-
tial matter that / feel it is my duty
to make to the republicans of Iowa
plain statement upon the subject.
Immediately upon my return from
the last session of congress l gave
out through the press my opinion
with respect to the presidency. That
opinion remains unaltered. The sit
uation, however, has materially
changed and it now seems probable
more than two candidates for the
nomination will be seriously consid-
cred by the national convention.
Under these conditions if the re-
publicans of Iowa believe that I am
fit man to be presented to the
national convention as candidate
for the presidential nomination and
desire to so present me, l will ap-
preciate and accept their confidence
as most gratifying evidence of their
esteem and will serve, as best / can,
the general welfare of the people.
ALBERT B. CUMMINS."
We are in favor of delegation
from Iowa instructed for Cummins,
with second choice for Taft, when it
becomes apparent that Mr.. Cummins
cannot be nominated. Up to the
announcement of his candidacy the
state has been unquestionably for
.Taft, but state pride ought TO give
Cummins solid delegation, and we
believe it will. 1t is not often a
state has the honor of presenting the
name of one of it's citizens for the
highest office in the gift of the peo-
pie, and here is one instance in
which We believe in republicans cast
ing aside factionalism for the gen.
eral good of the party.

/. r. Sherwood. democratic repre-
sentative from Ohio, tells this story:
A man had for years employed a
steady German workman. One day
Jake came to him and asked to be
excused from work the next day.
Certainly, jake" beamed the en-
ployer, What are you going to do?'
WE'LL" said Jake, slowly, "I think
| must go by mein wife's funeral
She dies yesterday"
After the lapse of a few weeks
Jake again approached the boss fol
day off.
"All right, Jake, but what are you
going to do this timer"
"Abner," said Jake. II go to make
me nit mein fraulein a wedding"
What? SO soon? Why, it's only
been three weeks since you buried
your wife,"
n. "Ach!" replied Jake, II don't hol(
spite long. st. Paul Dispatch.

BIG SUITS AGAINST RAILWAY.
John McAndrews, Administrator of
Fathers Estate, and .. c. Olsen
of Calmar Seek Damages.

1t will be remembered that pre-
vious to the last term of the district
court of this country suits were filed
by VIM. Wesselmann of Calmar
Chicago, Milwaukee G. st. Paul lail-
way, aggregating over $4,000 for
deaths and injuries to members of
his family near Fort Atkinson on
Memorial Day last year.
During the past week two more
suits have been filed against this
company. John McAndrews, admin
istrator Of the estate of his father,
the late John McAndrews, Sr., who
was killed at the Water street cross
ing in this city on Oct. 4, 1911, while
on his way home, asks for damages
of $4,000, while o. c. Olsen of Cal
mar, who was injured in that place
on Dec. 30, 1910, by being tripped
by lamp lighter while entering
coach asks for $25,200.
This makes a total of over $.6,-
100000 in recent suits against the
company from this county alone. Add
to this the amounts paid out by the
company for settlement of suits
against the c., M. & st. Paul rail-
which We're pending means a consid-
cradle sum, however the result. 1t
is altogether probable that the Olsen
case will go to the federal court, as
did the Wesselmann cases.

IntravenOus Medication.

Doctors Thatcher and Hackney of
Philadelphia have made their formal
report on series of cases in which
the intravenous method of treatment
has been employed in the year past
with marked success. A solution of
iron and creosote is injected directly
into the veins of the patient through
a glass syringe and thus the blood is
so strengthened as to be able to re-
sist any form of disease.

Sun to Light Canal Lamps.

The Panama Canal engineers have
adopted an ingenious device for
lighting the lamps in the lighthouses
along the canal. The suns rays will
fall on copper cylinders so arranged
that their expansion from the heat
will close valves in the lamps and
shut off the gas, which will be light.
ed by small pilot jets. This will re.
duce the gas consumed and the cost
of lighting.

there was conspiracy On the part
of Gov. Deneen and the Chicago Tri-
bune to deprive him of his seat in
the senate. He further declared that
he believed that all the evidence
given by Charles A. White, his orig
inal accuser, and by the other wit
nesses who said they had been bribed
had been bought by the Tribune.
Victor Berger, the Wisconsin So
cialist, has introduced in the house
bill providl Y for the amendment
of the constitu sa by adding to the
fifteenth amendL Il clause declar-
ing that the righ, q vote shall not
be denied on accou. of sex. In the
event of ratification Tthe amend
ment. Mr.. Berger prop to enforce
its provisions by enactin, seat if any
state attempts to evade he basis
of representation of that 5 shall
be reduced on the proportio,. which
the number of male citizens shall
bear to the whole number of male
and female citizens therein of more

Forestry in Nature Study" bull
letin just issued by the Department
of Agriculture, contains outlines for
courses on forestry in the different
grades, with a number of supple
mentary experiments, suggestions
for field trips, forest calendar, a
forest museum, etc. The appendix
contains lists of books for supple
mentary reading and reference and
a key to the common kinds of trees.
How to Prevent Typhoid Fever"
another bulletin recently issued by
the same department, should be of
general interest. This publication
tells of the danger of typhoid and
The various methods of infection,
recommends sanitary measures, and
discusses the use and value of anti
typhoid vaccine.
President Taft, in a special mes
sage, tells congress how $3,0OO,0O0
annually can be saved the govern
ment by economy and efficiency in
the conduct of dts business, and how
other reforms are possible which will
save the people from s25,OO0,OOO to
$50, 100000 year in the admins
tration of governmental affairs.
Among the principal reforms sug-
gested are the abolition of the rev.
enue cutter service and delegating
its functions to other branches, with
saving of S1,OO0,OOO; the combin-
ing of the lighthouse and life-saving
services into one bureau, with a saw
ing of $100,000; the stoppage of the
wasteful use of government proper
ties and equipment, with a saving of
S3O0.O00; the doing away with un-
necessary cost of handling and filing
correspondence, with a saving OF
100000. The creation of bud
get as means of putting before the
people a definite program of busi-
ness to be appropriated for; the re-
tirement with part pay of superan-
nuated civil employees; the inclusion
in the classified service of all officials
OF the Departments of the Interior,
post office, Treasury and Commerce
and Labor; better systems of mr.
chasing supplies; the adoption of
standard specifications in govern
ment contracts; and the further in
vestigation of labor saving devices
for use in the departments are sug-
gested.

Superstitions about the weather
declare that a mackerel sky will
leave the ground dry; that between
IL and you can tell what the day
will do; that when apple skins are
thick you may expect cold winter;
that rainbow in the morning bids
sailors take warning, while a rain
bow at night is the sailors delight;
that the day of the month of the first
snow indicates the number of snow
storms to be expected that season /;
and that II the wishbone Of the tur-
key at Thanksgiving be light in
color, you may expect great snow
storms during the ensuing winter.
