MARK TWAIN WAS A POLITICAL
PROPHET.

Mark Twain was something more
than a humorist, even though in that
class he lead all the rest. Mark had
also the eye of omniscience. He could
read the future better than any "sev-
entn daughter of seventh daugh-
II" that ever came into the world
with a caul Mark Twain just used
his good old common sense, his know
ledge of men, and out of that combi-
nation he evolved the interesting pre-
diction some months before he diel
hat this country was going to see
Teddy Roosevelt come back" as a
candidate for the presidency.
Mark Twain had little faith in
Roosevelt. To him he seemed a beau
tiful specimen of exaggerated ego,
conspicuous evidence of what nerve,
brass, unlimited push and energy.
can accomplish in American politics.
The utter absence of modesty and sin
cerity in Roosevelt were recognized
by the keen-eyed humorist and so one
lowing letter to a friend. 1t is well
worth reading as a pen picture of the
ormer president, as not only Twain
but millions of his fellow citizens see
him:
Astronomers assure us that the at
traction of gravitation on the surface
of the sun is % times as powerful as
is the force at the earth's surface;
and that the object that weighs 217
pounds elsewhere, would weigh 5000
pounds there. For seven years this
country has lain smothering under
a burden like that, the incubus rep
Iesenting, in the person of President
Roosevelt, the difference bestween 217
pounds and six thousand Thanks
be, we got rid of this disastrous bur
den day before yesterday, at last!
Forever? Probably not. Probably
for only a brief breathing spell
wherein, under Mr.. Taft, We may hope
to get back some of our health-four
years. We may expect to have Mr..
Roosevelt sitting on us again with
his % times weight of any other pres
idential burden that hostile Provi-
dence could impose upon US for our
sins.
Our people have adored this snowy
charlatan as perhaps no impostor of
his breed has been adored since the
golden calf; so it is to be expected
that the nation will want him back
again after he is done hunting other
wild animals heriocally in Africa with
the safeguards and advertising equip
ment of a park artillery and brass
band"

GO SLOWLY AND GET A GOOD
SECRETARY.

The Americas Board of Trade can
not afford to make a mistake When
the selection of its permanent secre-
tary is taken in hand. His selection
is the most important thing that the
new directorate will ever have before
it. On the good judgment 1t displays
in this matter the future success of
the organization depends. In fact, i
may be said that its very life almost
hangs upon the action of the direc-
tors. Given a good secretary, man
of Judgment, of energy, of progressive
ideas, capable and pushing, there IS
no telling the amount of effective work
the Board can accomplish for the city
and county through his instrumental
ity. Given a secretary of the reverse
type and the whole movement is fore
doomed to failure.
1t is not necessary to have secre-
tary next week or the week thereaf-
ter. The important thing is to have
the right kind of secretary. No mat
ters of personal friendship, of family
or business pull, should be allowed to
play any part in his selection. 1t
should be a case of merit and merit
alone. The only thing to be consid-
cred is the qualification of the man
for the work that is to be entrusted
to his hands.
Too many of such movements have
been marred or ruined by an i'm
proper selection of a secretary,
brought about by listening to appeals
for a Job for some one who had local
interests of personal character
working for him. In some towns not
only trade organizations but industrial
enterprises have gone on the rocks
and been destroyed through this per-
nicious method of pulling for man
for a position of responsibility, sim
ply to satisfy a few relatives or
friends. Americas is hardly apt to
suffer from a similar lack of sound
judgment, but it is never inadvisable
to utter warning along this line.
1t is not always possible to get the
light man on a day or weeks no.
tice But there is the right man
somewhere for this job, and little
time and patience will uncover him
Better give the time and the patience
than to be hasty and regret it ever
afterwards.

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
BY DR.. T. J. ALLEN
Food Specialist
VARIED VIEWPOINTS ON RE-
STORING HEALTH.

1t has been maintained In
these Hints that the crux of
health and disease Is nutrition.
Mechanical systems, including
osteopathy, regard the body as
a machine, holding that when
there is perfect action, freedom
of all the parts, in harmonious
action, there 10 health. Super
fluous food clogs the machine.
The remedy from this point Of
view Is to adjust the machine,
removing the mechanical OBJ
structions with harmonious, easy
action. The mental scientist re-
CARDS the body as the minds In
strument and bad mental condi-
tons as interfering with the
normal discharge of It's func-
tons, some going so far as to
Insist that the sovereign mind
can digest all foods with equal
facility and override the effects
of injuries to the machine with
out mechanical interference.
The chemist would control phys
lologic processes by medication,
without special reference to
the mental condition or to the
mechanism. The germ theory
holds that certain diseases re-
suit directly from Infection, but
that It may be merely Incidental
to deranaed nutrition, as we
have come to realize of con-
sumption, diabetes, rheumatism
and typhoid-each Of which has
its specific germ-and as | be-
lieve will soon be recognized in
