What Did the Election Give Them ?

The presidential election gave all
the parties, except the SOCIALISTS, rev.
er popular votes in 1912 than they OBJ
tanned in 1908. Wilson's total, $685.
100, was 1888 below Bryan's popu-
lar poll in 1908; Taft's 3,4S5,0S2 was
4,193,826 under his vote in that year;
Chafin, Prohibitionist, with 206,427
votes, fell off 47,413. On the other
hand, Debs, the Socialist nominee,
with 901 ,839 votes, gained 4S1 ,046
over 1908, or much more than
doubled his poll Of that year. These
are the comparisons which the COM
plete and official vote from each
state, now at hand, enables us to
make.
Roosevelt's Progressive party rep
resents a new political sect, which
was not in existence in 1908. Born
in the excitement Of the canvass Of
1912, the new party made a surpris-
ing canvass, its poll of 4,l19,5S2 be-
ing 634 500 in excess of that of the
Republican party, which had been in
existence for fifty-six years, and
which had been in control of the
governments affairs during the
greater part of that time. Practi-
caliy speaking, however, the Progress
sive party consists OF one man. It's
great vote was due to the popularity I
of Theodore Roosevelt The Progress
siye party probably will have disap-
peared before 1915, although in these
days of partisan commissions and re-

many hazards.
By splitting the Republican party
in the middle Col. Roosevelt enabled
Wilson to carry enough states to
make his electoral yotee, 435, far
greater than was ever gained by any
other presidential candidate, while
Taft carried the states Of Utah and
Vermont, with s electoral votes, and
Roosevelt gained California Except
two votes which were captured by
Wilson,, Michigan, Minnesota, Penn
sylYania, South Dakota and Washing
ton, with an electoral vote aggre-
gate CT 49,
One Of the many strange features
Of a campaign which had more pecu-
5iarities than any other within the,
memory of living men, is that the
combined popular vote for Roosevelt
md Taft falls 47,a44 below that. of
Taft in 1908 # is 1915 how
ever, in excess of that of Wilson,
indicating that if the Republican
line remained intact Taft would have
swept the country
The strangest development of all of
the campaign OF 1912 was the COM
parative weakness shown by Wilson.
Although 100000 had been added to
the number of persons entitled to
vote since 1908, Wilson's poll, as
before shown, fell far below that of
Bryan four years earlier, as well also
as in 1896 and 1900, With $4,000
votes in combination, the new states
of Arizona and New Mexico appeared
in the recent canvass for the first
time. The enfranchisement of women
in California and Washington since
1908 added nearly 500, 900 to the cleo
torate in those states, while s per
cent had been added to the popula-
ton of the country in the interval.
Yet these big gains, and the incentive
which was furnished to every Demo
crat to go to the polls, profited him
nothing. In a particularly emphatic
degree Wilson is a minority presi-
dent-Leslie's Weekly.

DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE FALL

We are Of the opinion that if you
are expecting to attend our school you
cannot give a reasonable excuse for
postponing entering until fall. We
can present sufficient proof to CON
vince you the earlier you start in to
obtain a practical education, the bet
ter it will be for you. We have now
almost as large an attendance in the
summer as in the winter. We offer
every inducement in summer that we
offer in the winter. Our past rec
ords show that students attending
school in June, July and August
make as good progress as those at
tending any other three months in
the year. This is due to the fact
that our school rooms are cool and
pleasant, and that our teachers put
forth the same energy in the summer
months as in the winter. He who en-
ters now will finish in time for a
good position during the busy fall
season. We will get the position for
you, We will start yeu into 1914
with more money, and a practical ed
aeation besides. It has been our life
work solving Just such problems as
yours, and qualifying young men and
women to earn three dollars where
they could not have earned one.

Plans for Sugar Combine In
s. Allowance.

for the time being the plans pr
organizing gigantic fifty-mil1ion-
dollar holding company for Louisiana
sugar refineries are il allegiance.
IF congress allows 1-cent duty on
sugar the project will go through, .
said Sol. Wexler, a leading factor in
the, enterprise. If we do not get
"a f-cent tariff, the proposition will,
in all probability, be dropped right
where it is. It can never be put
through with free sugar staring us
in the face in three years.
This is the big enterprise which
was launched a few weeksl ago, and
for which Mr. Wexler made a trip
to New York to confer with foreign
capital He expects to go east again
in May, and will stop in Washing
ton to- render any service within his
power to the Louisiana forces fight
ing free sugar.
Says Friedman Remedy Has MOT
Met Expectations.
The time has come when DR.. Fried
mann must prepare for the second in
lection of his special serum for tu-
bereulosfs into the patients whom he
treated shortly after landing. He
said at that time that q second and
perhaps even subsequent injections
might be necessary. An impression
was prevalent that his remedy would
produce immediate results, which in
most patients would go on to COM
plete recovery without more ado, but
he himself was rather conservative
in his announcements in this matter
whenever definite personal state
ments were secured from him.
The disappointment over the re-
suits SO far secured is mainly due
to that over-anxiety to have a rapid
remedy for SO fatal a disease. It
would be quite unfair, then, to draw
any hasty conclusions from the pres
ent condition of the patients treated
by him. We must simply wait In
patience until further applications Of
his remedy have been made under
the test conditions.
We are justified. however, in re-
the results SO far observed.
/ must say frankly the remedy has
not fulfilled the expectations aroused
even by DIR. Friedmann's own most
conservative claims, Apparently all
the patients to whom the remedy has
been administered have gained In
weight, some OF them a number OF
pounds even up to 20, some less than
one pound. To any one familiar with
this is not weighty evi-
lence of curative value, for almost
my remedy given with impressive
promises to tuberculous patients will
produce this. same result.Iames ].

TO prevent a creYasse at Remy
cost in excess of 100000, in addition
10 hundreds of dollars worth Of lum-
Der, piling, labor and transportation
furnished by railroads, lumber COM
panies and planters, according to
estimates obtained from Capt. G. o.
Sheriff., United States army engi-
neer, who directed the work.
Approximately 100000 sacks were
used, costing s24,50O. About 1900
men We're employed for three days,
a total of $500 work days At 81 per
day this represents $4,000. Another
$1,000 represents the cost of teams
and minor incidentals. These three
tens total 100000. Part of this ex-
pense will be borne by the govern
ment, part by the levee board, and
probably the railroads, sawmill COM
panies and planters will also share
N the expense, The total outlay,
contributions and everything being
laken into consideration, will run. up
to $4,000 or even $50, 900.
But in emergency work Of that
Kind We never consider cost re-
marked Capt. Sheriff.. 'tThat $4,000
or $4,000 expense saved s10,000,O00
II $l5,000,O0 OF property from de-
5truction. 1t has been estimated that
The Hymelia crevasse caused damage
to the amount Of s7,000,oO0 or $4,000
900. The area Remy would have
overlooked is much more thickly pop
dlated, and the total loss would prob
ably have been twice as great. Three
railroads would have been put out of
commission at a cost to each of
probably $4,000 a day, An official
of the Illinois Central said to me
that the loss to that line alone
would have been $4,000 day.

She said her only misgivings over the
freeing of her son was based on the
one fac. that his money would prevent
his case being tried fairly. She asked
only that the question of his fortune
be forgotten and that he be treated as
an ordinary man in similar position.

EASY way TO GET
RID OF PIMPLES
Resinol Really Does What Cosmetics
Are Sup, POSED To Do.

It is so easy to get rid of pimples
and blackheads with Resinol, and it

ish to keep on with useless creams,
washes or complicated beauty treat
ments." Here's the way to do it:
Battle your face for several minutes
with Resinol Soap and hot water, then
apply little Resinol Ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with Resinol Soap and
more hot water, finishing with dash OF
cold water to close the pores. Do this
every morning and evening, and you
will be surprised TO see how quickly the
healing, antiseptic Resinol balsan,s
soothe and cleanse every pore, leaving
the complexion clear and velvety.
Resinol stops itching instantly and
speedily heals eczema, and other skin
