strong ticket and triumph will be cas-

Some Political Signs.

Again have President wilson and the
Democratic administration been re-
pudiated; the reputation this time
coming entirely from within the ranks
Of the presidents own party, thus
leaving no way open for excuse from
the man who is at the head of the
department of state but whose prin-
cipal duties, outside OF the chautauqua,
are to make excuses for Democratic
setbacks.
The reputation this time came from
the Democrats of Jefferson county, this
state At a primary held last week
Congressman Junior" Brown re.
ceived 1.100 out OF 1900 votes for re-
nomination. even though he had di-
rectly defied the administration by
voting against the repeal OF the PAN
anna canal tolls act. The majority re-
ceived by Mr.. Brown is made more
significant by the fact that his oppon-
emit for denomination, C. NJ Brandon,
had publicly declared himself in favor
Of the administration program in re-
gard to the Panama canal tolls
Recent elections show th2t Demo-
Gratis everywhere are waking UP to the
fact that the present administration
is not fulfilling its prediction prom
ises. Instead of being lowered, as
was promised, the cost of living has
scared higher and higher under the
new tariff. Business depression and
the state Of unrest in financial circles
are nationwide. True the administra-
ton leaders are right on the job with
the statement that the depression is
merely psychological but the rank
and file Of the people, who know very
little about psychology, are looking for
real results instead OF technical ones.
The lack of faith in the administra-
ton is not confined to any one quarter,
but Is nationwide. Elections every
where are showing great inroads made

1t is interesting, as the Wheeling
Intelligencer says, to trace the ramiti-
cations OF the present businenss de-
preston that has come upon the coun-
try through the peculiar economic pol
icies OF the Democratic administra-
ton, that Is maintaining its bluff
through copious draughts Of its pat
ented psychological tonic. In the re-
view of the life insurance business for
1913, statisticians have dug out some
figures that are reflective of the de-
creased activity of the industrial and
commercial interests, or, in other
words, the hard up" condition of poll
ey holders. These conclusions are not
speculative, but are drawn from rec
ords Of undisputable verify.
The general condition of business
was indicated in the record OF loans
on life insurance policies. The
amount of the increase of outstanding
loans at the close of the year 1913 was
So, 725, 900, as against an. increase of
s43 ,244,0OO for 1912, difference Of
over $20,00O,000. The situation has
been thoroughly canvassed by the
Statisticians, and they know what they
are talking about, because they are
informed as to the necessities that
provoked the applications for the
loans And this is another evidence
of the widespread effect of the pres
emit stagnation, and proof OF the con-
tention that the injury OF one is the
concern OF ALL Push the first brick
Of a perpendicular row. and the rest
will topple or be slanted out of their
original position.

by the Republican party on the Demo-
cratic vote Of 1912.
All signs point to signal Repub-
lican victory next fall. Facing a
united party, and 1t surely will be
united, the Democrats will not stand
ghost Of a chance. Democratic lead
ers see the handwriting on the wall
and are crying wait" in the vain hope
that the people viii give them two
years longer in which to produce re-
suits. But the voters refuse to be
misled and the elections in November
VIII return the House OF Representa-
tiyes to Republican control, and with

again be restored to the prosperity

gurated to carry out ;ile principles of
one Social philosopher or another.
Into them entered many noble men
and women with nigh purpose and
with the conviction that the secret of
the regeneration OF society and the
world had been committed to them
and was about to be revealed in con-
vlncing realization. There were 9TH

between capital and labor in which
fhe gave to all laborers a choice and
variety of occupations, short hours
and sought to make labor attractive.
The various communities were called
! Phalanxes. The famous Brook Farm
at West tRoXbury, Mass, was one OF
these. There were many others but
in ten years or less they were no
more. Another Frenchman, Ettienne
Cabot, described what he called

ideal of a community on commun-
istic and socialistic basis. This led
to the attempt to establish settle

faded out.
'GMr. Morris Hillquit leading So

Fire drills in the schools Of Clarks-
burg so earnestly suggested by Chief
Conlon, the New York tire-fighting ex-
pert who is now training the local
fire department with most gratifying
success, have even more than the i'm
portance Of life-saving attached to
them. While they are providing for
mat they are also means Of popular
anf enjoyable diversions for school
children and thereby bring splendid
results and benefits. School children
hail them with oyGand teachers say
they intensely interest pupils in les
sons. A recent issue OF the Pittsburg
sun gives description of fire drills
IN the schools there and mentions
some of the good things they accom-
plish as follows, which ought to appeal
to the local school authorities to the
extent OF observing fire drills in every
school in the city:
There Is nothing like fire drill to
keep school children in a good humor.
Especially on dull, sultry afternoons,
toward the close of the season, when
teachers and pupils alike are slightly
tagged by the years strain, there
comes moment when something must
be done to revive jaded interest and to
capture the mind by giving the body
some exercise.
Az this time, teachers say, the fire
drill is invaluable. Apart from the
protection 1t affords the children from
confusion and terror in case Of fire,
1t sends them out into the open air
With a Jump, and brings them back
more alert and intent upon their work.
The children like it. AS soon as
they reach the street and discover that
there is no fire they burst into shrieks
OF Joy. At the same time the orderly
ranks. continue to swirl around the
circular fire escapes until there is not
soul left in the building. AS soon
as the children reach the ground they
begin to gather into formation in front
OF the building. In few seconds they
are ready to return to their work
AT the South school, which numbers
about 400 pupils, the entire drill has
been accomplished in less than a min.

DEATH CLAIMS
SENATOR BRADLEY

He is fallen I'VE now pause be-
fore that splendid prodigy like
some ruined tower, whose power
terrified the glances it's magniii-
cence attracted. In the politi-
cal world he was dreaded by any
who might oppose him; i'll the
halls of Congress he met the op-
position with the courage of a
lion and threw his shining lance
full and free against the brazen
foreheads of the opposers of good
government.
He was the first Republican
elected Governor of Kentucky,
and in all conventions he was
found in the forefront, like a
soldier, for his party and its
principles, and never showed a
weakness when in the arena of
debate.
On page seven of this issue we
publish full account of his ill
ness and death, with. u sketch OF
his eventful life.
