JUST SURPRISING.

Suppose that these many years past
Austria had treated the common peO-
pie right. Suppose they had been
given economic justice, instead of hav-
ing been tyrannized and oppressed.
Suppose the rate of pay, the working
hours and the working conditions
had been the same in Austria factories
as in American plants. Suppose, in
short, that Austrians had been treated
in Austria as Austrians have been
treated in America.
Then can you imagine Austrian sub

only one line of business must call
forth a threat of death from their
mother country? We cannot.

WILSON AND JOHNSON
RUNNING MATES.

i've candidate for vice-president in
1912, the democratic vice-pTesidential
nominee in 1916. is vouchsafed from
Washington, the center OF national
political activity Democracy might
do worse, and doubtful IL it could do
so very much better. IL would go a
long way toward proving to the pro-
gressicc5 the true progressivism of de-
mocracy. and its Willingness to alb
sorb in behalf Of progressivism, as
well as of democracy, all those who
accord with democracy's progressive
ideals. this too on a somewhat recog-
nizable basis.
OF course. the suggestion is not
likely TO set so very well in Indiana.
Vice-Pres't Thomas Riley Marshall is,
OF course, at least a receptive candi-
date for denomination. and, 1--WE
thinks" we can almost hear murmurs
OF dissatisfaction in certain local
circles already. at the mere mention
OF anyone else. But in case the COM
mon consent, quite prevalent at the
capitol. should materialize. then it
would be different and it is here that
we would suggest Gov. Johnson as a
splendid alternative.
The point is that the leaders of
democracy have handed the word
around that il is time TO consider
the possibility Of the vice-president
becoming president, and that in such
case, a real administrator OF the Will
son political estate. in conformity with
the Wilson ideals, should be desired.
Gov Johnson has been picked as one
man decidedly qualified TO measure
UP TO those ideals Besides it is be-
Iieved that Johnson would add
strength to the ticket. The tender
of this olive branch" is decidedly
significant. in view Of the republican
disposition toward the progressives
insisting that the seceders must re-
turn without even a compromise, and
like the prodigal Of old be glad to get
back at any price
II may not take we'll either, with
that one-third of the democratic party
which Pres't Wilson admitted in his
indianapolis speech to be more re-
publican than democrat; that is, re-
dictionary. Very naturally they viii
not care for such a union of the two
thirds progressive with the progress
ives as would be likely 10 knock all
bipartisan arrangements with the re-
publicans into a cooked hat. A Will
son progressive and Johnson pro
gressive combination would admit OF
just such a union between the stand
pat republicans ana the bourbon
democrats. as would divide politics, as

Newspaper Cure for Colds.

We usually feel a cold in the head
more short time after we rise from
our bed in the morning. Our heads
become more or less clogged up as we
lie inactive during the night, and we
feel the effect OF the cold worse a
short time after we get up.
When we open the morning paper
and closely scan its columns for the
news we are unconsciously helping to
cure our cold in the head. The fumes
arising from the fresh printers ink
penetrate the nostrils and pass back
through the nasal passages. In short
time they clear up the head greatly,
producing a much different feeling.

who seems to exercise considerable
power over his few subjects. The
houses are very clean and neat inside;
the floor is of split bamboo laths; the
fire is on basket of sand, and there
are chairs made in imitation of those
seen by the savages on board of trad
ing vessels. Cocoanut shells are used
for all sorts of purposes, cooking,
holding water and as dishes.
These islanders are gentle and
friendly, and have never been known
to harm visitors in any way. They
are very superstitious, and believe
that the great spirit Of evil resides In
the densely wooded interior, but that
the demon is only to be feared il
they are dishonest, untruthful, injure
their neighbors or take more than one
wife. At certain times the villagers
are supposed to be visited by the de-
mon, and all the populace moves 10
the seashore where fires are burned
night and day, so that the demon cam
not approach under cover Of darkness.
The great robber crab is thought to
be devil, and, though he plumbers
their cocoanut trees, the natives will
not NEEDLE with the animal, as by so
doing they would bring fever and
death into their homes. A large spe.
cies Of lizard is similarly regarded.
The Nicobarese do not by any
means escape the fevers which attack

| that there are no old men among
them. Rarely do they live beyond
forty years. On one of the islands the

time, but number Of them died, and,
believing the occupation to be ac-
countable, they gave 1t up for good.
| Pigs and fish afford their principal

The archipelago consists of twelve
inhabited and q few uninhabited
islands. The interior Of the largest
island is totally unexplored, though
inhabited by strange people, not at
all related to those on the coast. These
rarely approach the shore except
on marauding expeditions when they
rob and kill and carry away women
and pigs.
One of the most curious customs OF
the Nicobarese is that Of digging up
their dead after they have been buried
three years or so, carrying the bones
out to sea and scattering them to the
