EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Ruling the Body.

History and literature give us many instances of those who have triumph ed over bodily handicap and afniction. those whose souls have burned bright ly in feeble frames, who have never succumbed or owned themselves beat lives. We actually give the body no fair chance if we allow it too great supremacy sIt must be ruled and per vaded by the mind; it must be rend- cred healthy by spiritual health and protected by fearlessness from the ills that spring from nervous fear.
 Poor health, susceptibility to ail- ment, may be cultivated and fostered by all the potentialities of auto-Sug- gestion, that wonderful power of the subconscious self which can give us almost anything that we strongly de- sire or tinidly dread. Every thought in us may suggest well-being and en- ergy, with a certainty of response; or we may give every thought to the re- verse, encouraging and aiding the phy- sical foes that always lie in wait. The best defense against disease is a cheerful boldness that persists in for getfulness of danger. The quickest cure, and the hkeliest prevention, is to believe that we are well. There are limits to these capacities of the mind, disease, accident, weakness must come at times, but we need not regard them as inevitable and so hasten their do- minance, If they come they are to be endured bravely, with a steady faith that health, not disease. is our natural condition; we must never meet them halfway, but resist them with secret assurances that they are merely temporary and must be routed.
 We must be reasonable in our ex- pectations; if we believe as some tell us, that the mind in its present con dition can do everything, we are likely to end in disillusion and despair. But we need never cease to persuade our selves that mind can do very much so much that as yet we have hardly touched its limits, and we may justly remove the horizons of its possibility very far of. Because truth is some times obscured by absurdly rash as- sertions, we are not therefore to deny that truth

REPRESENTATIVES, PRIMARY.

Always a political hotbed the state of Pennsylvania is nothing else at the present time in view of the primary next Tuesday when the choice of party candidates will be made. The politi- cal situation of the recent past which gave the state to the progressives has undergone a wonderful change and in no better way is this indicated than by the astonishing primary enroll ment. Throughout the entire state. the return to the republican ranks is like landslide. It is a record of steady growth in all counties and when it is shown that in Allegheny county alone the republican enrolment is 127041, or more than the total vote cast by all parties there in 1912 and the pro- gressive strength has dwindled from 5e,0oo to less than 10000, it only in dicates the change which has taken place throughout the state.
 This renewal of interest in the re- publican party indicates a desire to get back into a party where an op- portunity is given to make the votes felt. It is also attributable to the con- test which is already highly devel- oped between Penroseism and anti Penroseism within the party this be- ing the occasion when the people make the nomination for the United States senate. The big registration thus re- veals keen interest in that issue and it remains to be seen whether the re- publicans of that state prefer the re- tention of Penrose or the choice of ex- Mayor Dimmick of Scranton. Unless this return to the republican ranks is for the purpose of helping in the over throw it is likely to be revealed that the primary offers no greater resist ance to the we'll oiled machine than the convention did. The contest is at least going to furnish some excellent food for thought in that direction -

Funny Ihinas.

MT Editor: Some persons have claimed that they have had horses die on them. A very unpleasant predic- anent-lying under a dead horse!
 Others have had apples rot on them and potatoes freeze on them They have even had hens sit on them and COWS break out on them. But to come back to horses: A man claims he has a horse that is a good saddler CD This is certainly going some" in teaching a horse the art of saddle making. Without doubt the horse could be in structed in harness manufacture, al though handicapped with hoofs. The horse is also recommended to be good driver"
 Hitherto, horses have been driven, but now it seems they can rest their weary legs and act in the capacity, of drivers-and perhaps as chauffeurs. Who knows?

OTHER VIEW POINTS

 Richard Harding Davis has reason to believe the fates are unkind. He went to far off Manchuria to report war, and the Japs wouldn't allow him near the firing line. Now he has gone to Mexico, and it looks as though there wasn't going to be any war. But he can still shine whenever the militia men hold mimic war.-Hartford Post.
 A raise of fares on the lines of the New Haven road would bring a ioud nrotest from the public, no doubt. But it would have to be settled by the ,n- tersfate commerce commission and the public utilities commissions Of the states If those are Judicial bodies, the company might be able to show that the raise was demanded by the increased cost of producing the facil- fties of ransportation.-New Haven Register.

The marching cohorts and the petltions
have made an impression even on Con-
eressmen who hitherto have expressed
disapproval Of the move for equal SUI

Perhaps the most impressive spectacle
the demonstration afforded was the cho-
rus on the broad steps OF the Capitol
There THE woman's Marching Song

sung In public for the first time In this
country. The song has swing 10 H.

ure OF the parade was a corps OF flower
laden girls. Their baskets were filed with
such blossoms as would suggest the suf-
frage colors-golden and purple and
white-and they wore white frocks.
At the head of each division Of the
rarade, as it marched from mass meet
ing AT a theatre TO the Capitol. were
standard bearers with pennants and
streamers bearing suffrage notices and
the suffrage colors. Many distinguished
women took part and attended the theatre
