PRESS COMMENT.
ANOTHER TEST.

There will DO q special olasticn on

rett, Socialist, 55. just close enough
to make contest, even on ordinary
issues, interesting. Even fow hundred
abstentions, such rs might ordinarily
be expected in a special election, would
be sufficient TO turn tho scale. 1t is true,
generally speaking, that in n district where
parties are almost evenly balanced the
may be said to have tho advantage,
so many little cases of personal dis
appointment and disgruntlcmcnt from
failure to get Office having arisen.
But there will be no disposition on

that Senator Reed and not MIR. Wilson

OUR YOUNG OLD MEN.

Through the skill and persistent effort
Of physicians and surgeons there have
been brought to our knowledge facts,
that under our present conditions, II fol-
lowed, will add many years TO the life
of man. Not so very long ago man who
bad reached forty was looked upon as
well along on the highway of life, and
not suited to enter upon any new work
at all, fifty was much worse, after that be
was an old man, ready to retire
How different it rs now. As we look
at almost any of our great enterprises,
requiring brains, alertne-s, energy, and
vital force, We see the master mind,
and power that controls these forces is
the mind and power of man nearing
his three score years and ten-ripe 10
experience, which is, of course, always
valuable, yet with the brain and eyes
of youth.
Let us glance at some of our leaders.
There is Joseph Cannon, born in 1886,
still alive to all the great issues of The
day; Luther Burbank, born 1s49, called
the wizard man, the personification of
thrift, hsving turned the useless dessert
plant life to nutritious stock food; uri-
desirable fruits to iux,tries; Ehhu Root,
born ls45, distinguished today for hs
keen reasoning and mastery grasp OF
facts; Thomas Edison, born lS47, crca-
tor Of many of the conveniences and
now indispensable necessities OF our
modern civilization. is still new man,
because so bouyant and energetic; Theo-
dore Vail, born ls35, now at the head of
the American Telephone and Telegraph
Co, through whose Office pulses the life
of a nation An old MANI The idea is ap
insult In .ha country
John Wanamaker, born 1888; Henry
Clewes, 1910; Lyman Abbott, 1885.
What about these men? So busy with
the present, so intent on the future. hey

THE PANIC.

The Wise men now predict a
panic before this year grows old;
therell be catastrophies titanic by
Autumn, we are told The wise
men hand Us, through theft faces, of
all sad news the worst; the present
boom has no sound basis, and it is
bound to burst. Then therell be
coming, fast and faster, all kinds
Of perils dire; the doc will pawn
his mustard plaster, the bard will
soak his Tyre. Then giddy boys
who now are burning the costly
brands of gas will be for handouts
vainly yearning they'll have to
feed on grass. So now, while coin
seems rather plenty, let's make
the stroRgbox thrive, and every
month salt down twenty, or may
be twenty-five. Let's do some wise
and cautious planning against the
time of stress, and when we see the
panic panning we will survive, j
guess. And if the panic doesn't
reach lis we'll be ahead our store;
and saving some will surely teach
US the way 10 save some more.

secondhand Hootin' Nanny cars; one he
traded for, one his brother-in- law wished
onto him and one was left him by will.
None of them was of any account, and SO
he set to work to take 'em sill apart and
make one good one out of the three. The
task was too much for his mind, and after
he had made about five from the r,iins OF
the three and still had lot of stuff left,
and none of EN- would move muscle, he
began to chatter, then to yell, and finally

The facts about France are that for 40
years before the war, its population was
practically stationary. During all that
time both the production of food and the
Importation OF food increased. In other
words, there was more aud more for every
body to eat. Authorities say that this was
reflected IN the prosperous condition OF the
peasants and workrnen. They say that in
the period before the war, French peasants
and workmen were better off than those of
any other country in Europe. At the same
time, France was known as the most
civilized country in the world. 1t was
