studies of the keenest interest could
all be centered in the wheel
Without wheels we should have no
watches, no steering at sea. We should
be unable to utilize the waterfalls as
motor force. nor should We have hun
dreds of other things of the utmost at
traction and utility.
All our modern civilization has come
TO us on wheels All we know about
other countries, all the commerce we
have established throughout the world
and our means of wealth we owe to
the wheel 1t is difficult 10 imagine
what the world would come to if sud
denly all wheels vanished from our
midst No war, no famine, no revolu-
ton. could be one-hundredth part as
effectuaI in putting us back centuries
as the lack of wheels.
The romance of wheels has gone,
never to return again. Wheels are
now looked upon merely as accesso-
ries. whirling indifferently. faster and

TO REDUCE DANGEROUS
VARICOSE Veins

People who have swollen veins or
lunches should not wait until they
reach the bursting point, which means
much suffering and loss of time, but
should at once secure from any reli-
able druggist a two-ounce original
bottle of Emerald Oil (full strength).
BY using this powerful. yet HARM
less germicide treatment improvement
is noticed in a few days and by its
regular use swollen veins will re-
turn to their nomal size and suffer-
ers will cease TO worry. The Emerald
Oil treatment is used by physicians
and in hospitals and is guaranteed to
accomplish results.

Democratic party and of the Whig
party AS he never took active part
in politics. and as it was to him that
the leaders who we're sometimes in
need of money came with a view of
securing advance payments on account
OF their salaries. he was able to main
tain very friendly relations with them,
and they often impaired confidentially
some OF the inside history of New
York politics.
1T was in the year 1884" Mr.. Clark
said, that the name Whig was adopted
for the new opposition party. At that
time the great majority of the voters
of the United States were loyal to
Andrew Jackson and TO what was then
spoken OF as the Jeffersonian princi-
pie Of Democracy.
Nevertheless, there was struggling
opposition here and there, some Of
which was furnished by what was
left OF the old Federal party. Some
of II was maintained by the anti-Ma-
sonic party. Nowadays no one can un-
derstand the ficrcencss OF the OppO-
sition to the Masonic fraternity. but
it was then so strong that a political
party representing the anti-Masonic
view nominated William Writ for
president.
"Some OF the astute politicians. par
ticularly Thurlow Weed. who at that
time was beginning 20 gain his great
power as a political leader. we're con-
vinced that all Of these struggling
elements could be brought together
into a single opposition party.
"But what was such a party 10 be
called? All recognized that II must
have a name. II wouldn't do TO call
it the Federal party or the Anti-Ma-
sonic party, especially as the politi-
cal opposition to the Masonic frater.
Unity was already beginning to die out
"All sorts OF names we're suggested
Thurlow Weed told me that he haS
considered at one time or another
list of twenty names. Many favored
the name of the American party, bu
: that did not seem entirely adequate

then gaining renewed power and il
some of its principles il reflected tn

posed to the Democratic party. Tn
word Whig was q short word, and a

Thurlow Weed. II was decided 10 nam

New News Of Yesterday
Where the Wing Party
Got Its Name
By Holland

In a conversation which had some
years ago with the late Charles c.
Clarke. who for some years was as
sistant treasurer of New York State.
in the early fifties OF late forties Of
the past century. and who for fifty
years was associated in most intimate
personal and executive relations with
The Vanderbilt railroad system, he
iold me how and why the name Whig
was selected for the new party which
had been organized for the purpose
Of opposing the Democratic party,
which had been under the leadership
0f President Andrew Jackson and was
he predominant party in the United
States.
Mr.. Clarke, while serving as assist
ant treasurer. and being really the
executive head OF the State treasury,
was brought into intimate companion
ship with great leaders, both OF the
