The Wild ASS Colts.

Western Populism, aided by mine
owners money, forced free silver upon
the democratic party
Can Western Populism, aided by Wall
street money, force Theodore Roose-
welt upon the republican party? Il
The two campaigns run In parallel
grooves.
The free-silver campaign was financ-
ed by millionaires like Marcus A. DAILY,
William A. Clark and David H. Moffat,
who regarded the gold standard as
ininical to their business interests and
wanted national financial policy that
would promote their personal profits.
The Roosevelt campaign is financed by
miliionaires like George w. Perkins,
who regard the enforcement of the
Sherman Antitrust law as inimical to
their business interests and want a
national economic policy that will pro-
mote their personal profits.
AS for the rank and file, there has
been no essential change. The Roose-
welt shouters in the west were for the
most part populist silver agitators six
teen years ago. They now regard
Theodore Roosevelt as another 16-to-l
issue. The same type of mind that ap-
proved of free silver in 1896 now ap-
proves of a third term. The same
falsehood and hysteria and emotion and
demagogy that were enlisted in the
freesilver crusade are now enlisted in
the Roosevelt crusade. The name of
the issue has changed, but the men
have not changed, and the meaning CT
the issue has not changed except for
the worse.
1t is an extraordinary situation.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his followers are
assailing William H. Taft with the
same kind of language that Altgeld and
Tillman and Debs used in assailing
Grover Cleveland. They are assailing
the courts in the same way that Altgeld
and Tillman assailed the courts.
Of the two the free-silver campaign
was the more honest and respectable.
1t had better class of supporters and
sympathizers. Many men of recognized
intelligence and disinterested motives
believed in the free coinage of silver
but no man of frst-rate ability and
disinterested motives is back of the
third-term campaign.
No great republican lawyer, no great
republican jurist, no great republican
educator, no great republican student
of government, no great republican
judge, no great republican senator, M
great republican representative, nj
great republican governor is supporting
Mr.. Roosevelt. In the whole Roosevelt
army there cannot be found a singh,
man except Theodore Roosevelt himsel
whose moral and intellectual inhuenc,
extends beyond the borders of his owl
state
This is the element that purposes t.
take possession of the republican part.
as the populists took possession of tn
d ,mocratic party is 1896 and force tn
third-term issue upon the country. =

WHEN MISS ANTHONY FAILED

GO EASY ON HEALTH FADS
Trouble 10 That They Cannot Be
Made to Suit tho Physical Make
Up Of All People.

Cleveland is the home Of the new.
Well" club composed OF persons who
believe in restricting indulgence In
food. They fast now and then from
a week to a month. One apostle OF
the cult declares he has found abound
Ing health In a diet Of eight quarts OF
milk daily for eight months.
1t may be that this foodless life Is
beneficial to some Clevelanders. 1t Is
probably also true that many people
In other cities-perhaps even some In
Detroit-eat too much, particularly In
the summer time. But It Is equally
probable that many imitators OF the
cult will starve themselves beyond
the endurance point OF weak hearts
and so commit virtual suicide.
1t Is just at this point that so many
health, beauty, and nostrum fads be-
come 80 deadly and sc damaging.
Every well-informed person knows
that a wise medical practitioner when
called to attend a sufferer, must try
to adjust his remedies to the physical
powers and idiosyncrasies Of the pa
tient. The remedy which acted like
magic in the case Of Jones who had
la grippe may prove useless and actu-
ally dangerous to Smith, owing to
some disturbance OF Smiths digestion,
weakness of bis heart, n what not.

becoming any sort Of a faddist see

First Picture Postal Cards In 1870.

In Nuremberg they have been max
ing arrangements to celebrate the
thirtieth anniversary Of the picture
postal card with a congress and ex-
position this year. Unfortunately for
their plans, however, 1t has been dis
covered that the first picture postal
card was not made in Germany or
sent from Nuremberg, nor was 1t born
in 1882. as they had supposed. The
distinction Of making and mailing the
first is now claimed by Leon Besnar-
deau, a book seller Of Sillele-Guil-
laume. near Conlie. department OF
Sarthe, France. in 1870. during the
war with Prussia, he printed pictures
on postal cards he was mailing to
clients. M. Besnardeau Is still alive
and there are many OF his old Gus
toners In France who have the cards
he mailed them. The Germans adopted
the idea for the Nuremberg exposition

Each and every member of the two

them.
The buttons which r being given
