THE DOMINICAN ELECTION.

The United States is watching
with peculiar interest today the ma
tionaI elections being held in Santo
Domingo. The fact that two United
States gunboats have been added to
the good nature of the Dominicans,
for they feel that any attempt on the
part of the United States to take a
hand in their elections will show
lack of confidence in the government
and weaking it with the people.
Secretary Bryan points out that
the government is merely endeavor-
ing to insure the fairness of the cleo
tions as a result of assurances given
last summer when through the
efforts of the United States the revo-

WHAT'S THE ANsWERa

We are all of US familiar with that
fetching story of the soldier bold
whose life was saved by the fact that
an enemy's bullet intended for his
heart was imbedded in the Bible
which his mother had given him and
which he carried in his breast
pocket. And now Allen county
duplicates the case with an up-to-
date version all our own. John
Langston, popular chicken thief,
was blazed away at by Delbert
Smith, an irate farmer, whose hen
roost Mr.. Langston had just raided.
The aim of Farmer Smith was deadly
and the posterior presentment of the
gracefully retiring Langston would
have been scattered ruthlessly over a
forty-acre field had not the carcass of
a fat Plymouth Rock rooster inter
yenad. This rooster had been de-
rcapitated by Langston with an adroit
twist of its neck and showed down
in the pocket of a specially made
coat. Those good persons who have
seen the beneficent dispensation o1
an Allwise Providence in the case oi
the soldier aforesaid are respectfully
asked as to the Identity of the influ.
ence which operated in the interest
of our own Mr.. Langston-Fort

IN politics. He is now the Democratic
|cocnty chairman of Marion county and
the head of that machine organization.
1t is understood here that Taggart's
activities in behalf of Sullivan have
complicated the situation with refer
ence TO othe appointments IN Indiana,
and il is not known now when any
thing will be announced along that
line.
Senator Kern tried to keep out of
the Indianapolis city campaign this
fall. because he did not wish to get
into any mixup with anyone. For
long time he was iInportuned to come
out here and make a speech in Bells
behalf, because at that time the Bell
prospects were anything but rosy.
Finally. however. he consented to come
and make speech. and rousing big
meeting was held in theater a few
days before the election. He made his
speech and went back to Washington.
1t is said that after Belrs election
Kern gave his recommendation to a
man that wanted an appointment in
the city administration, but the man
failed to land, and this is said to have
caused Kern to feel that there is not
much gratitude in the human heart
especially in politics. Another thing
that is said to have nettled Kern is the
fact that Bell appointed as chief OF
police man who is a political enemy
of Kern.
Altogether. the belief here is that
Sullivan's chances have faded and that

WHY
vHY ARE SOME CHILDREN
CROSS-EYED7

The general public has many false
ideas concerning this unsightly de.
feet and consequently many parents
are prone to neglect it because of
the hope or the belief that the child
will 'outgrow it,
Were the real cause and the con-
sequence of neglect of this condition
more generally known and accepted
great benefit might result to many
unfortunate children and their lives
made happier. 1t is not generally
known that in the majority of squint-
ing eyes, blindness results to a great
er or less degree unless early atten-
tion be given them.
The primary cause as is pointed
out in the American Journal oi
Medicine in most children who havs
this defect is the lack of the power o.
combining the images seen by the
two eyes into one. This faculty ha:
been lost or has not been developed
with the growth of the child It's de
velopment may have been interferet
with by difference in two eyes. on,
being far-sighted, the other near
lsghted, or there may be other differ
ences which interfreed with har
Imonious action. The child canno
focus both eyes on an object at tn
Isame time, SO in order to avoid the dis
lcomfort or strain of effect, the weak
Ter eye gives up and crosses in orde
Ito avoid the embarrassment of dou
lble vision, which would otherwise oc
j cur
i Soon this habit becomes fixed, an
J permanent squint is brought about
The squirting eye, not receiving an
J Istimulus from use, gradually loses tn
seeing faculty and partial, blindnes
J is the result.
| This loss of vision from disuse
, more rapid in the very young than i
folder children. IL a child begins t
Isquint at the age of six months, an
has good vision in each eye, tn

luton was brought to an end. The
fact that the assembly Is to revise
the constitution, especially with ref
erence to the provisions for elections
of a president gives the coming cleo
tions more than usual Importance.
Out of the observing of these cleo
tions will come it is expected plan
of actual supervision of the presi-

but he will be blind in the squirting
eye in FIVE or six months.
If he does not begin to squint until
the age of three years he seldom
loses the power of vision in Jess than
a year thereafter. After the age of
six years, the danger is not so great,
and the child may retain it to some
extent. Every child who shows
symptoms of squint should have
early attention If sight is to be pre-
served or the deformity prevented.

AT STATE CAPITAL.
Indianapolis Ind. Dec. 15.-Senator
John w. Kern is said to be sore at
Mayor-elect Bell. of this city, because
Bell did not appoint Democrat whom
Kern had recommended for one of the
minor positions In the Bell administra-
tion. This is said to have made 1t
practically a certainty that Kern will
not recommend Reginald H. Sullivan,
of this city, for appointment as United
States district attorney. If Sullivan
fails to land, the choice will fall on
Frank Daley. of Bluffton, according to
the best information that can be OBJ
tained here.
There has been much speculation as
to why the two Indiana senators have
not made their recommendations for
the various federal jobs in Indiana, and
why they have postponed for so long
the announcement of their choices for
these places. Weeks ago it was given
out that they would recommend men
for internal revenue collectors within
the next two weeks. Reports even
went so far as to hxe two weeks ago
today as the day on which the recon-
Imendations would be made 10 the Sec
retary of the Treasury. But something
seems to have slipped. for not a word
has been made public.
1t will be remembered that at the
time these two places were under seri-
GUS consideration by the senators
Thomas Taggart was at Washington
with Sullivan. and he was boosting
Sullivan for district attorney. 1t is
understood that Taggart would rather
have sullivan appointed to the district
Iattorneyship than to have any otheI
federal appointment that he knows OF
Sullivan. a fine young man. has been
identified with the Democratic machine

PRIMARIES.

Great talk just now of more
primaries. In Indiana they are more
or less of a joke.
Last spring Tom Knots in Gary
was renominated for mayor on the
democratic ticket and received more
votes" than Taft. wilson, and
Roosevelt combined And there was
only a difference in time of few
months between both ballot castings
Yet when election day rolled
around Mr.. Knots was defeated by
more than 1000 votes.
