IMPROVED CAMPAIGN METHODS.


An encouraging sign of the times Is
the cleanness OF the contest as thus
far developed in the presi lential cam
paign OF this year No one can ieny
the intensity OF rivalry which the
present struggle involves. Instead
Of the usual duel for party supremacy
we are confronted now by three
cornered fight. Personal feeling has
run high. The presence Of third
can iidate has tended to make IT more
than ever a fight between persons an l
less fight between parties. This
feeling on every side Is at the OK
IRENE pitch Of intensity. II ever the
to be stirred and the mul at the bot
tom brought to lrgnt, this would seem
the time. And yet despite all the
stirring up and shaking up nothing
noisome has appeared.
II one looks into the FREE PRESS
files AMI takes down the volume mark :
ed Eighteen Eighty-Four" a shock
ing contrast rs revealed. That year
seems to have seen an orgy Of abuse,
vituperation and-worse than vitu-
peration-stories which could not be
told in plain language but must needs
be limited at or left unsaid. In that
year two exc sptional men were solicit
Ing the highest office which the Amer
lean people can give, and both were
charged with sexual irregularity and
political corruption.
The following from the FREE PRESS
Of that time is an example Of the very
mildest form Of the substitute for
political argument which was then In
the mouth OF every man: Democrats
say their candidates public record has
no blot There is hardly enough of 1t
is one blot" This was the very calm
est ana most dignified innuendo of all
that passed current at that time. AMI
yet who would think of applying It to
any Of the three candidates before the
country to-day?
The past lives Of the candi dates were
painted in disgusting colors. We can
discount 1t at this distance. We have
saner estimates of both men. We
know that both had records to be
proud OF. And vet examinations and
recriminations. epithets and insinua-
lions flew back AMI forth until the at
mosphere OF the country WAS sick en-
Ing 1t was not a case of one man
prove that he was unworthy Of high
office; the thing was general. Blaine
was abused quite as much as Cleveland
ana Cleveland quite as much az Blaine
There was no limit to the Things whrch
partisans would say and believe
1t Ia not always we'll to plume our
selves upon our virtues, but at times
1t does no harm to note that we are
making progress. 1t Ia worth noting
that such conditions did exist and that
they DO not exist to-day. There are
two reasons why these conditions do
not exist to-day. One is that the pub
lie would not tolerate them. The
other Is that. of the three men In lime
light to-day not one can be assaile
on the ground Of personal character.

GREATEST LESSON OF LIFE
The One Thing Above All That
Woman Should Be Quick to Learn
and Remember.

The woman who makes good must
be blessed with strength and health,
and an ambition to learn and take ad-
vantage of every opportunity that
comes her way. She must work with
all her heart and play with all her
heart; above all things avoiding In
difference.
Hers Is the temperament that rec
ognizes that encouragement is all
nice and pretty, but If one is going to
do the thing that counts one doesn't
need it; that refuses to be dismayed
by repeated failures and that has
certain faith that what has been done
by many may be done by another;
that nobody goes through life with
out disappointments, heartaches and
the breaking of pet illusions; that
there is nothing more common than
trouble, but that it is the wise ones
of earth that keep it in the back
ground. That's the great lesson of
life.-Exchange

"The editor of the Weekly Plain
Dealer is a charitable sort of teller,
commented honest Farmer Hornbeak,
in the midst of his perusal of the vii
lage newspaper. wherein he had en-
countered an example of the linotype's
peculiar perversity. "In his article on
the death of LATE Dabsack, who, be-
twixt me and you, hadn't much to
recommend him except that he wasn't
quite as bad sometimes as he was 9th

generally regarded as hijjdytS9mfwrd-

ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA

my left ankle. l was worried and sent
for a doctor. He said it was eczema.
He drew a small bone from the ankle
about the size Of a match and about
an inch long. The small hole grew
to about the size OF an apple, and the
eczema spread to the knee. The doc.
tors never could heal the hole in the
ankle. The whole foot ran water all
