PATRIOTS MUST FORCE ISSUE.

The issue of Romanism must be
met. We can no more escape it than
the issue of slavery That struggle
was necessary to save the Union;
this fight is necessary to save Ameri-
can institutions. There will be at
tempts made by time-serving politi-
clans and timid people to make COM
promises, and Rome will favor "dila-
tory tactics,' while she pursues her
well-knoWn purpose to further in
trench herself; but patriots will
force the issue, amid bowls from
Rome and shrieks from towards. A
political party, making the menace
of Romanism distinct issue and
discussing it before all the people,
will arise and smother the imbecile
Democratic" party, which thought
that slavery and secession should be
let alone, and destroy the "Republi-
can" party, which while it abolished
chattel slavery, introduced a form
Of servitude more far-reaching in it's
demoralizing and destructive power.
Necessity gave birth to the RepUbli-
can party and necessity DEGREES it's
death; while the poor old ''Democ-
racy'' is dead at the top, and needs
only to be buried.-The American
Whip.

PAINE AND JUNiUS.

1t has never been clearly demon
strated that Thomas Paine was the
author of the Letters of Junius."
"Junius Unmasked," published in
Washington by John Gray & Co.,
1872, is a most plausible book. but it
stops far short of the point for which
its author set out, which was to
prove that Paine wrote the celebrat-
ed letters. In all probability Junius
will never be unmasked. The keen
est intelIects Of the period in which
the letters appeared tried their ut
most to discover the author of the
extraordinary epistles and tried in
vain. We have the letters, and they
are, of their kind, the choicest pro-
auctions of the human mind, but to
whom belongs the honor of having
produced them is still one of the
mysteries.

LONG KNOWN TO MEDICAL MEN
Abundant Proof That the Operation OF
Trepannlns Is a Very An.
client One.

While the medical profession is
agreed that some rough form of sur
gerry must have existed from very
ancient times, it has always been a
matter of wonder that 10 complex
and delicate an operation as trepan-
ming should be also one of the old
est.
There is authentic record of this
operation dating back to the time OF
Hippocrates, who wrote treatises on
fractures, dislocations and wounds of
the head, wherein he described the
method of procedure to be followed
in the case of n fractured skull. His
idea was TO cut away a piece of bone
so that the pressure on the brain
might be relieved.
The annals of this era also show
that a file was used for this purpose
which, at a time when modern anaes-
thetics were unknown, must have
been, to say the least, painful.
According to Holmes, the opera
ton of removing pieces of bone was
| performed long before historic times.
The effects on the skull are easily
seen after death and are visible as
long as the bones r preserved. From
inspection of certain skulls of the
later stone age in ancient Britain
there has been derived the conclusion
that some of these had undergone the
operation, which must have been per-
formed with a stone Implement

LET YESTERDAY ALONE.

Learn to let yesterday alone and
you will have a happier life. There
is nothing more miserable than to be
perpetually having a parade OF yes
terday's misdoings.
Countermarching is never satisfac-
tory. Even the things We felt were
passable at first sight are disappoint-
ing when rehashed.
If you have things to regret, do
it C and for all.
You realize you could be sorry for
ever after for some Of the acts OF
your life-but what's the use?
What an awful price people pay
for the determination to "get square"
with those they fancy have injured
them! No matter what others do to
us, every bit of retaliation, every bit
of injury we do to them, every blow
intended for another really WOUNDS

PROOF THAT WORM CAN THINK
Experiment Made by Harvard College
Professor Interesting, II Not Of
Great Importance.

From a series of experiments con-
Quoted by Professor Ierkes of the
psychological department of Harvard
college, the professor has become con-
vinced that an a~ngleworm can think.
Knowing hal an angleworm will
always crawl out of a lighted place
into a dark one, the professor put the
worm, which he was experimenting
on. into a glass dish in which vert
two dark holes. The right-hand hole
was merely a regular earth cavity.
The left-hand one, however, con-
tanned a mildly charged electric bat
terry, the object of which is to give
the worm a shock in case it should
desire to poke itself into it.
At last reports the worm had
learned its lesson pretty well and was
continually going to the right when
it was put into the glass dish.
A series of similar experiments,
including mice, guinea pigs and SO
forth, is said to be contemplated by
the psychology department.

OBITUARY

Vera, daughter of ST. Hensley
and wife, of Mansfield, aged l
year, 8 months and Is days, was
very suddenly taken with pneu
monia fever March 81, 1913, and
in spite of all that loving hands
could do she suffered only a few
hours, until death claimed her at
9 p. m. March 81.
While this was a sudden and
unexpected shock to father and
mothea and relatives, it is only
one more demonstration OF the
uncertainty and shortness OF life
and while death has cast a shad-
ow over the hearts and lives of
the parents, it is only a blessing
to little Vera to be taken from
the evils to be met in this life by
those who live to mature age.
She rests with the Savior who
said, Suffer the little children
to come unto me-" Weep not,
father and mother, for the alb
sence of your little blossom, that
scarcely bloomed to fade in a
moment. With her Savior she is
happier and with her little angel
hands she is becoming you to

continuing city, but we seek one
to come. j. Z. SEAL.

An Independent and ably edit

great circulation is probably the
most potent influence for good i'll
the United States today.
The power for the better things
in public affairs and policies, for

A CLERKS union.
Meeting Called for Wednesday Night
to Make Organization.

A meeting of all clerks and deliverymen
of the city has been called for next
Wednesday night at eight o'clock for the
purpose of forming a local clerks union
and to agitate the proposition of Saturday
night closing for all Topeka stores.
The prime mover in the enterprise is
G. G. Grimes of the grocery store of
William Green & Son. Mr.. Grimes has
a strong backing, and it is anticipated
that the meeting next Wednesday night
will be largely attended. Announcement
of the place of meeting will be made next1
Monday.
For year or more Mr.. Grimes and
others have been talking Saturday night
closing. 1t is a well known fact that
many of the merchants are heartily in
favor of the idea provided that all other
merchants will agree to close their places
of business. The recent move the part
of the management of the Crosby
Brothers store giving their employees
Saturday night off struck a popular note.
