and other bodily ills as well as bad
debts are. so the letters say, cured by
the lucky stone. There are unlucky
stones, too. It seems. The famous
Hope diamond. which was bought by
a gem-loving American, has a reputa-

a few years ago it sold for only $780,

living down its bad repute and living
up to the significance of Its name.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

In making up a presidential
ticket 1t has frequently been urged
that more attention be given to the
| vice presidency, for while the duties
of the Office are almost nil, 1t must be
remembered tat the vice president
stands in line for the presidency and
it has happened on quite a number
of occasions that he has been called
upon to fill that office. For this rea-
son, If for no other, a man should
be named for vice president who
measures up in every way to presi-
Dental timber.
1t is significant that in the pres
ent campaign the Republican party
alone has failed in this respect. No
one would ever think of choosing
Jim" sherman for President of the
United States, yet he is the Repub-
lican party's second choice for that
position and has stood within the
shadow of that Office during the past
four years. He was nominated the
first time merely to satisfy the cla-
NOR of the reactionaries. Uncle
Joe" Cannon put him on the ticket
and the bosses helped him. He is
decidedly beneath presidential size.
With the Democratic and Pro-
gressive tickets, however, it is DIFF
ferent. Marshall was the choice Of
his state for the presidency at the
Baltimore convention. His record as
governor of Indiana puts him in the
presidential class. What is true of
Marshall can also be said of john
son, who is R%oosevelt's running mate
on the Progressive ticket. johnson
is a great power In the west. He has
turned the great state Of California
inside out. He would make a great
President If he should ever be called
upon for that office. In voting the
Democratic or Progressive ticket no
chances are taken as to the future
as far as the presidency is concerned.
The Republicans alone treat the vice
presidency as a mere adjunct to be
given out in an effort to patch up
political fences.
