Defense Scores a Point.
The defense in the Birney trial
scored a point when DR.. w. H. Sey-
mour, county coroner, admitted that he
was not absolutely sure. beyond any
reason Of doubt that an operation was
not necessary in the case of Myrtle
Irish
However. there is still left the fact
of the states position that other oper-
ations were performed by DR.. Birney
on May and prior. and that even tho
it may have been true an operation
was imperative on the 18th of May 1t
was due to the fact something had
been started by DR.. Birney prior to
that date. so that the point won by
the defense is in reality minor one,
should the prosecution make good on
the previous operation theory.

May Regain House.
THE outlook for q republican house
next year is decidedly encouraging.
On the face Of things, this looks diff
cult since, in order that there may be q
republican majority over both demo-
Gratis and progressives in the next
house we must gain ninety odd seats.
But is must be remembered that there
Is large number of districts now rep
resented by democrats where the plu-
ralities to overcome are only few
hundreds OF votes. The democrats in
1912 in these districts were elected
solely because Of the split in the re-
publican party. 1t would require in
these districts the return of only a
small percentage Of progressives to in
sure republican success.
The big fact in the situs ton il that
the drift turnout the country 10 to-
wards the republican party. Political
experience has shown that drift Of
this character has in practical realiza-
ton always turned out to be greater
than its surface indications. This Is
due to the fact that we measure the
prospective extent OF alteration of SEN
timent by the number q those who
have given some open EXPIRE ssion Of the
change. We are unable ito determine
in advance the extent OF the silent
changes which only become apparent
when the vote Is counted. But IL al
ways transpires that the open express
sion reflects an equally large number
of silent changes.
Democrats q Minority Party.
Now the fact must rot be over
looked that the democratic party. altho
today in control Of the White House
and both houses Of congress. is never
theless a minority party in the country
The total democratic vote in 1912 was
little less than AZ per cent OF the
total vote. The combined republican
and progressive vote was about 90 pei
cent. The remaining 8 per cent was
divided among the minor parties.
There is every indication that the
democratic vote next year will show
a decrease from the vote Of 1912 In
this connection, it must be borne in
mind that in several states large
number of regular republicans voted
the democratic ticket. some because
they were precluded from supporting a
republican ticket by the manipulation
of the primary nominations as in Cali
fornia, and some for other causes
These voters can not be expected to
support the democratic ticket next
year. Certainly no one would be rash
enough to suggest that the democratic
vote will be increased. Therefore. even
if progressive tickets are put in the
field. we shall not need an aggregate
vote of more than As per cent. properly
distributed, &c give rs control OF the

Tariff to Be Issue.
The election of 1914 will principally
turn on the tariff issue. The majority
of the American people are protec-
tionists. They are only divided as to
the degree Of protection which shall be
afforded. Confronted with the disturb
ing effect which the democratic tarin
