Inpressiions frsn the celsnsl

And now we have the unanimous opinion of the
thirty newspaper men who had an hours chat with
Col Roosevelt IN London that he is to be candi-
date for President in 1916 The special cable dis
patch telling of the interview, sounds just like one
of those "impressionst' stories that used to come
out of the White House, when the colonel reigned
there. Usually the Washington correspondent who
wrote it would have scoop" following visit to
the colonel made by special appointment. sometimes
two or three would share the honor More often than
not the empressionist' story would out to be
true one, but there were occasions when the most
gifted writer would receive and convey the wrong
impression and then it would be the privilege of all
the other newspapers to record the exact truth the
next day.
There is hardly chance, however, that the unan-
imous impression of the thirty newspaper men in
London can be mistaken one. They were advised IN
advance as to their status when calling the colonel
for the cable dispatch says;
"He explained to the strange Londoners that in
the old days in Washington it was his habit to talk
con6dentially to newspaper who always respected
his confidence any subject as to which he wished
them to preserve silence"
And after talking with Col. Roosevelt for an hour
there not one of the thirty newspaper men
who was not firmly convinced that Col. Roosevets
return to New York viii signalize his formal en-
trance into the limeight candidate for the nom
nation for the Presidency"
There is no lack of emphasis and corroborative
detail to support the unanimous and logical conclu-
sion of the thirty, for the dispatch adds:
at was also perfectly clear each of the colones
thirty visitors that he wishes the voters of the United
States know that he is fit, physically. to run again
for President, and that for all his refusal to be
quoted on timely questions he is absolutely familiar
with everything happening in Washington"
Col. Roosevelt is to sail for New York on June
49, so that in two weeks we may know beyond doubt
whether the London newspaper as susceptible
to the right impression as were their brethren IN
Washington during the Roosevelt administration.

Some surprising statistics were submitted to the
fourth alcohol congress- recently in session in Paris by
DR.. G. Bertillon, who showed that the annual con-
sumption of alcohol per inhabitant of the different
European countries is: France, 1888 litres Italy.
Izoz; Belgium, Iz.I8; Switzerland, II.o6; Denmark,
1904; Spain, 1855: Germany, e44; Great Britain,
57; Sweden, $751; and Russia, 5zr. In spite of Great
Britan's low average it was contended that there is
as much, if not more drunkenness among her people
thau in any other of the European countries Ap-
parently this indicates that comparative few people
do the British drinking. or that the boosted British
capacity for safe ABSORPTION is decreasing

NO GREAT NEED FOR WORRY
London Magazine Of High Repute
Points Out Weakness in Talk of
Human Decadence.

Most Of the talk at conferences of
doctors. sanitary experts" eugenie
enthusiasts, lunacy specialists and
others is wildly and obviously fabu-
Ious, though rich in apparently I'M
impeachable figures. All these ap-
palling percentages as to the ''physi-
cally defective" the morally ire
sponsible,' the feeble minded
what do they mean?
One must first have some definition
of physical defect, moral hightiness,
weakness OF intellect, asserts the Lon
don Saturday Review. Almost every
great man one can think of would be
condemned by some congress or other.
Johnson, Byron, Pope, Napoleon,
Caesar, Luxembourg, Give, Pitt, Peter
the Great-the list could be prolonged
acknowledgement all defective" in
some way. Few men or women go
through life without sharp CON
sciousness Of bodily imperfection
They are either very happy or very
stupid who are perfectly satisfied with
the quality of their wits, and the
human being who has never felt him
self a sorry caitiff must assuredly be
one, OF course, figures come to the
aid of the optimist just as efficiently
as they subserve the purpose Of a
settled gloom Every one is familiar
with the formula: 'The statistics
might seem at first sight to provide
food for reflections of disquieting
character, but when 1t is remembered
that before 1902 it was not incum-
bent on practitioners to notify" etc.
In short, it is just as easy to prove
steady advance in physique, intel
lect and character as it is to satisfy
the nation that it is chiefly made up
of puny and vicious imbeciles.

NO REAL EFFORT EVER VAIN
Better to Strive for Success, and Meet
Defeat, Than MuteIy Accept Life
of LittIeness.

Better the sorriest citizen thinking
he can take hold Of life, and his faint
spark of free-will can burn holes
through the thicket than worldful
Of orderly persons of regular habit
and contented mien, Rather wilder
ness than that men should find this
locked world, where all the returns
are in.
Better absurd mites, strutting over
large landscapes, than such a fatness
Of CHEEKY slaves, taking orders from
their betters. Better a petty race
should strive vainly, than accept its
own littleness. If it is doomed to
futility, let it at least live as if all
the roads to victory we're open.
So when we face the push and
thrust Of life in each generation, let US
be glad that youth is claiming its
right to live. Let the youth flourish
and prosper, advises Harper's Weekly.
1t is wiser to tear down the temples
than to accept defeat. Effort is finer
than resignation, and peril is safer
than despair in routine And by that
high courage and fresh experiment,
they defeat confusion, and lift their
heads above despair. So the world is
full Of homes. Obscure men deal man
fully with their stint Of work. Count
less unknown women suffer and love,
Order gains on chaos A will is at
work upon the welter.

Resettlna a Shoulder.

A dislocated shoulder may be re-
placed with scarcely any pain by the
following procedure, according to DIR.
julius Caesar OF leicester, England:
Divest the patient Of his coat and
waistcoat. Place him on the ground in
a sitting posture. Grasp the wrist OF
the dislocated arm and have a third
person grasp the wrist Of the other
arm. Raise both arms simultaneously
over the head, taking care to keep
them parallel. and extending them up
ward till the patient is just raised
from the ground. At this point click
is heard and felt. This is the sound Of
the arm bone going back into It's
socket.
There are some dislocated shoulders
that cannot be reduced this way, but
they are the rare exceptions.
