chcerfnlness Aud HeaIth.

People never break down IN
health so long as they keep a hap
py, joyous heart. 1t is the sad ana
respondent heart that tires. ana
whatever the load. we should always
keep cheerful spirit within, There
are two ways Of meeting a hard ex-
perence. One is to struggle and re-
sist. refusing to yield. The result OF
this is the wounding of the soul and
intensifying the hardness. The other
is quietly to accept the cireumstanc-
es or restraints and make the best
OF them by enduring all eheerflliy'
Those who live in the first way grow
old In the middle of life. Those VINO
take the other way keep young
and happy heart down to old age
and often find the last days the
best days and old age the happiest
time OF life.

SOMEWHERE AROUND MAY 20

The Democratic State Executive
Committee will meet in Louisville
on April 20 to fix the time and
place for holding the Democratic
State Convention to select delegates
to the National Convention at Balti-
more and reorganize the party COM
mittees, There is a strong tip out
that the convention will be ordered
for the week of May 81. Louisville
and Lexington are after the honor
OF entertaining the convention. The
reorganization of the party law TO
conform to new conditions occas-
Toned by the new State primary law
will be one of the most important
matters to come before the conven-
ton. 1t is also very probable that
one of the State party committees
will be abolished.

The complete returns from these
26 counties show that Colonel
Roosevelt received four delegates TO
each one received by President TAFT
while the incomplete returns from
from the four remaining counties in

diminished

braska and Oregon yesterday the
Roosevelt forces, under the leader
ship of Governor Glasscock, won a
surprising victory to-day. Even the
Roosevelt leaders were surprised at
the magnitude of their victory.

linois and Massachusetts, as Clark car
ried them. is something more than
mere neighborhood candidate more
than merely the favorite son of a state.
Wilson carried Texas. Oregon, Min
nesota. the Carolinas and Pennsylva-
MIA. What then? The Democrats, if
they tried, could no more lose Texas
and the Carolinas than the Republicans
could lose Pennsylvania. As for Ore
gon and Minnesota. Clark at the ballot
box would stand as good, if not bet
ter, chance than Wilson.
Wilson Has Antagonized Opponents.
In Harmon's state of Ohio and such
Underwood states as Alabama and
Florida, Clark would be stronger than
Wilson who-through Bryan-has an
tagonized every supporter of either
Harmon or Underwood between the
oceans.
Last, yet not least, it is pointed out
that Wilson is dreamer. while Clark
STAYS on the ground; that the one IS
academic while the other is practical;
that the one shifts and changes While
the other remains steadfast that the
on Q writes essays while the other, in
practical fashion, puts the peoples
needs in the way of house measures
squarely up to the Republicans Of the
senate.
In short. the currents Of argument,
and per consequence, conviction, are
setting toward Clark and against Will
son. It is the common admission by
every cool head among the Democrats,
thinking on party victory, that Clark
should be the man.
