The notifications of the moratori-
ums in Great Britain and France,
which will go into effect in November
and December, viii tend to add to
the activities of business in those
countries, and cannot fail to have an
excellent effect upon their dealings
with other nations.
AS matters stand today, while i'm
rnense orders for war supplies are
being placed in this country. and all
countries that produce breadstuffs
are being benefited by purchases of
such commodities, yet the general
trade of both countries is far below
all records, and their purchases Of
other than supplies Of war material
and foodstuffs have been reduced to
the most meager proportions.
With the modification of the mora
forums all this will change, and,
even II the war maintains, by Janu-
airy the call upon the United States
for other products and materials
than those used in warfare, or prod
ucts used as food for the people, will
be for much greater quantities.
The disturbances in South Africa
seem to be spreading, and this Cali

A REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE.

The loss of the Legislature by the Democrats in
the Republican landslide yesterday is exceedingly dis
concerning to the Democratic State leaders, and it
must also be to President Wilson at Washington.
Democratic losses in Congress had been discounted
but to the extent of yesterdays disaster and they
might be taken philosophically but the Presidents
own State has done entirely unexpected thing. 1t
has not only turned out considerable number of the
Presidents supporters in Congress, but likewise made
complete change in the political control of the State
Legislature.
The surplus of than million in the State
treasury and the largely increased tax income earned
by Democratic management will now be inherited by
Republican Legislators. and all the administrative
forms that Senator Hennessys appropriations commit
tee has worked out will be dealt with by Republican
majority In fact, the Republicans will be placed in
position to make good capital for the State election
next fall and the presidential election in 1916 by
fathering Democratic economies and perhaps improv
ing on them.

CAUSES FOR THE DEMOCRATIC DISASTER.

Almost invariably an election held in the middle Of
national administration is unfavorable to the party
in power There is always a reaction in the popular
sentiment more or less pronounced Yesterday it was
very much pronounced. 1t nearly wrecked Democratic
power in Congress- in New Jersey it reduced the
Democratic party to q minority in the government and
in most of the States subdivisions.
There is never any warning political revolutions
like that of yesterday They come unawares The
Republicans had no warning of the tremendous over
throw that awaited them at the polls in 1912 Taft
might be defeated, but not utterly crushed. There
was no doubt about the after the election The
four million votes for Roosevelt explained the catas
trophe.
Perhaps the present Democratic defeat can now be
as easily explained Perhaps among the are the
very things that Democratic leaders at Washington
pumed themselves upon, as well as some things
that Congress did unwillingy, under coercion As to
the latter there may be insaneed the enactment of
the bill surrendering American sovereignty in the
Panama canal That act gave a deep hurt to Amer
lean pride Another contemplated act for the Senate
do, and which probably in the light of yesterdays
election won't do is the abject apology to Colombia
for building the Panama canal and the payment of
SIS O0o 600 to the vampire politicians of Colombia
is blackmal
The election results just witnessed were the
ruition also of policies The Democratic party
promised benefits that have not materialized Food
prices are even higher than they the trusts have
the same power. railroad interests have had unds-
guised the public 1t is felt that there is
no real substance in administration reforms
But there is yet another reason. The Democratic
national platform made distinct and emphatic decla-
ration against second successive presidential term
But only recently the announcement was authorfta-
lively made that this platform promise would be
violated. In NEW Jersey, and by partisan of the
President the seeond-term question actually made
an issue of in the election what becomes of the
seeond-term question now?

In Northern Minnesota there is a
great AGRA of land so fiat that its
waters sometimes flow into Hudson
bay and sometimes into the Gulf of
Mexico. There are times when GER
tain lakes discharge at both ends,
the northern outlet carrying water
through Red river or Rainy river to
Lake Winnipeg and thence to Hud-
son bay, while the southern outlet
carries water to the Mississippi.
The United States geological sur
vey has just published a report
(water supply paper a2b) containing
the results of river flow measure
ments made during the year 1912 in
the Hudson bay and upper Missis-
sippi river basins. Because the d.
viding line between the Mississippi
river drainage basin and that OF
Hudson bay is indefinite and In
many places cannot be determined,

plies and the uses that can be made

rest of the world so far as foodstuffs
are concerned, and as long as the
war lasts its trade in army and navy
supplies will show constant increases.
With the passing of another thir-
ty days it seems certain now that not
only will many OF the difficulties as
to ocean transportation be removed,
but that general business between
this country and the various belliger-
ent nations will be resumed to a very
great extent.
Rights of neutrals as to ships, car
goes and ports will be then much
better defined, and these, being I'M
derstood, cannot fail to result in ex-
tension and expanding of our for
eign trade in the way Of exports.
Today the country is having enor-
nous demand for certain products
of farms and outputs of mills and
factories, while in other lines there
is dullness and depression.
The prospects now are for broad
ening and a lettering of trade all
along the line. Even the cotton stu
alton will show marked improvement
by that time, caused by renewal of
| foreign demand, which for ninety
days has been completely shut off.
The new year will open with de-
/ cidedly better tone to the business OF
! the United States.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
A Slave to Detail

record of the fact that he had seen
six canal barges in tow upon the
Hudson river and that he ought to
learn what kind of cargo these barges
carried.
"There was one detail, however.
which he put upon the shoulders of q
subordinate. That was associated
with appeals made to him by those
who wanted charity. His begging
mail was very large every day, but
his secretary did not permit him to
see any of these letters. but put them
in the hands of an almoner whom
Mr.. Vanderbilt found it ejzpedient to
employ, The a1moner was an expert
at that business and he knew what
to throw aside, what deserved further
consideration and what should be
brought to the attention of Mr.. Van
derbilt
Had Mr.. Vanderbilt undertaken to
read these letters and to investigate
requests, it would have taken more
than twenty-four hours of the day
for him to get through with his daily
mail.
"As he grew older and after he
succeeded his father as the head of
the Vanderbilt systems, this slavery
to detail grew upon him and at last
became real burden. 1t caused him
sometimes to worry, and he was not
able to throw off anxiety or irrita-
ton. Therefore at last his physical
system was really weakened by the
reflex mental action and /, as we'll
as other friends who had opportunity
to observe him, was convinced that
the first serious attack which he had
could not have come at all If his
physical condition had not been
weakened by the slavery to little de-
tail, SO that he was unable to throw
off or resist the advance of what be-
came an organic disease. 1t has been
my observation that almost all of
the men who have achieved greatly
and who have been able to commit
detail to others have been those
whose lives We're prolonged and who
maintained good health"

Inherited Defects Due to Alcohol

The Influence of alcohol as a detri-
mental factor in inheritance is one
which has not readily lent itself to
convincing experimental proof in the
past. During the last four years
Professor Stockard, of the Cornell
University Medical School in New
York city, has been engaged in a
study Of the effects of alcohol in
heredity. He has demonstrated con-
clusively that the germ cells of male
guinea pigs can be so injured by al
lowing the individuals to inhale the
fumes of alcohol that they give rise
to defective offspring although
mated with vigorous females. The
extension of these unique investiga-
tions, in which the offspring from
the treated animals which reach ma
turity are usually nervous and
slightly understood, have further
shown that the effect of the injury
of the germ cells is not only ex-
hibited by the immediate offspring
of alcoholized animals, but is con-
yeyed through their descendants for
at least three generations. There
are many instances of matings fol-
lowed Dy HeSdSiNO ASSoiNS " ~
abortions, stillborn young or defec-
tiyes. An instructive Illustration was
afforded in q case in which two of
the four young animals were COM
pIetely eyeless, the eyeballs, optic
nerves, and chiasma being absent.
Such defects result, according to
Stockard, from the injury originally
inflicted on the germ cells by the
experimental treatment. Yet this in
Jury may have been received by
earlier generations only. Thus the

Sarah Judson Anita MCGEE, Mary Princess Royal
BY MARY MARSHALL.
Copyrighted 1914.

Sarah Hall Boardman Judson had
the distinction of being the second of
the three well-known wives of the
missionary, Adoninam Judson. She
was born in New Hampshire .Noyem-
Der 4, 1903, and when she was young
woman she married the Missionary
George Boardman, with whom she
went to India There she studied the
Burmese dialects and established a
girls school. Her husband died when
she was twenty-eight, and for several
years she continued her missionary
labors alone in India. She used to go
on long missionary journeys through
the Indian jungles accompanied by
her native disciples.
When Mrs. Boardman was thirty
one she married MT. Judson, who had
been a widower for eight years. For
several years they continued their
missionary work together, and then
on a homeward journey Mrs Judson
was stricken and was buried on the
island of st. Helena, made famous as
the last abiding place of the great Ma
poleon. Mrs. Judson's missionary
career was one of untiring work. Be-
sides her teaching and preaching she
worked patiently to master the writ
ten Burmese language. AS result
she translated "Pilgrims Progress"
and twenty hymns into Burmese.

Stayeh and Starving Sometimes Cure
Diabetes.
Anyone who is i'll with that per-
1sistent. 1ong-standing disorder known
as sugar disease" technically called
Diabetes" and actually character
ized by the loss from the human
storehouse of sugar by way of the
kidneys, will appreciate the dialogue
in the "Old Curiosity Shop
Did you ever taste orange peel and
water?''
Mr.. SwivelIer replied that he had
never tasted that ardent liquor
IF you make believe very much,
it's quite nice" said the small ger
want, but if you don't, you know, 1t
seems as If it would bear little more
seasoning certainly"
| If persons who tolerate the malady,
diabetes, could bring themselves to
the illusion that no sweet things are
desirable to eat, they would feel de-
lcidedly more comfortable.

! Roekefeller Institute for Medical Re-
search, is perhaps the foremost in

try.
warding Of Diabetes.
1t is true, according to his expert
ments, that over and above disturb
ances of the "pancreas''-the banana
like gland which nestles abaft the
stomach, with a waste pipe which
empties into the Observation-Disclosures
is also caused by disturbances which
follow the eating of sugar and starch.
There is some substance formed in
the pancreas which seizes and binds
the digested starches and sugars,
which thus becomes available for
storage in the muscles. liver and
iother reservoirs of our anatomy. If
the outlet or waste pipe of the pam
creas becomes blocked IL microbes
invade the little islands OF tissue
within the pancreas, If any distemper
assails the pancreas or its ramifica-
tions, diabetes may ensue
Diabetes, under certain circum-
stances. can be warded off by an OPP

has been induced experimentally, by
cutting away a fraction of their pan
creas, can be kept free of the ailment

upon his scientific experiments. If the

the patient is given from two to nine
ounces of brandy or whiskey in table

parents of the guinea pigs mentioned
were untreated, their four grand
parents were also untreated, but
their great-grandfathers were all al

Out OF the Silence

And what can you say when the day is done
And you've gone to your bed of rest r
When the shadows come and the light has gone
Ger the rim of the golden West,
And siivery beam of the moon creeps IN
AS if in an aimless quest?
What do you say
When a kindly voice that you seem to know,
Out of the shadows speaks soft and low,
Well, what did you do today?'
o what you say when you're all alone
With the Master of all the tasks? P
How much of sin do you have to own
When the voice of the Master asks?
How many things that you left undone
Your studied answer masks?
What do you say
When, out of the shades of the silent night,
The Master speaks with the Masters right
WELL what did you do today?"
Thrice blest is e,of the humble way
Who sinks to his bed of rest
The rest he earned with toiling day
With love of his labor blest-
Who hears the voice of his Master ask
And truthfully says My best"
The who say
I've trod the way of my best intend,
I've helped friend and I've made friend"
To What did you do today?"
