Can't Cut Off My Leg
Says Railroad Engineer

IT am railroad engineer; about
20 years ago my leg was seriously
injured in an accident out West.
Upon my refusing to allow the doctor
to amputate it l was told it would be
impossible to heal the wound l have
tried all kinds of salves and bad many
doctors in the past 20 years, but 10

IPETERSON'S OINTMENT on my
leg. You cannot imagine my aston
ishment when l found it was doing
what over 100 things had failed to
do. My leg is now completely cured

cUMM1Ns rs NO MANS ECHO.

Senator CumInins is old fashioned enough to
believe that elected legislators should vote for
the right as they see it regardless of any senti-
ment in their states or districts that they vote
wrong. Many of our legislators are too weak
and flabby to do this and more concerned to
save their seats than to fill them Well But a
reaction is on the way and overdue, and cour-
areous senator's like Cummins who will not vote
against their convictions at the order of any
body are growing steadily in popular esteem.
Constituencies prefer men, when they find
them, rather than manikins; and not even men
who can use him respect the legislator who has
no mind of his own. People uniformed, or
'misinformed, frequently are misled into voting
for some ambitious nobody, thus placing expert
ment in the place of success; and such pro-
cedure is political insanity.

POLITICAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGNS.

Assume that very large amounts Of money
have been spent by admiring friends OF presi-
Dental candidates in disseminating literature
and bringing to general attention every excel
lence and admirable quality these aspirants pos
sess. Suppose that a dozen books, hundred
pamphlets and innumcrable newspaper articles
urge every point that can he urged in favor Of
Wood or McAdoo or any other man. is that an
offending against moral statute law?
Our ridiculous system Of double elections has
made this development natural and inevitable.
Should not the people who make the nominal
tons be Informed concerning the candidates.
Is it better that they should vote ignorantly or
not at all7 1t was obvious from the start that
the man with money behind him would have
an advantage under direct primary laws. He
proclaim his merits as the man without
means cannot Yet can it be argued that he
shall not be allowed to tell the people who he
is and what he stands for? Such laws are ai2-
Burdities and should be done away with Under

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THE HOUSE o. DREAMS.


An old, old house in still old town -....
With gray old elms where the streets go down,
And grassy door yards wide and clean
Where lace of sunlight patterns the green;
wide stone path leads up to the door
Swinging this hundred years or more;
Wide old where the breath still cllngs
OF a hundred sweet and odorous springs
There is peace in the house o'dreams, and rest,
And lay me down like child once more
Graded to sleep its mothers breast
It's toys forgotten upon the floor
The drip of rain on the shngled roof
lis the voice OF quiet, the step OF Sleep
And my dreams are woven, warp and wool
OF the memories old houses keep;
FOOTBALLS that linger, reluctant and long,
Dim echoes OF laughter, a shadow OF song
Dear ghosts of the past, your ministry hll
Unquiet and passion shall fan and be stlil

THE UNIVERSAL TALENT.

| Anybody can save money but few can make
lit Thrift is a universal talent. The poorest
financier can put aside penny day. All he
needs is the penny and backbone. We cannot
Jail be profteers, spectators and landlords, but
I'VE all can save.
The rule for saving money is one of the
simplest in all the world That is why so few
try it out; it sounds too easy to work. All one
has to do is to spend less than is earned. Any
human being who is ''all there can live on
nine enths of his income at least. That leaves
tenth swaziland earned Rich people, bar
"a few lucky ones, are not people who earn large
salaries, but people who save money and put
it to work. When Mr.. Carnegie some years ago
was offered the chance to invest in a sleeping
opportunity because he had money in the bank.
The ability to save was in him. Few of US be-
come rich for the simple reason that making
fortune is as much matter Of genius as playing
10 violin like master. But saving is no natural
Egift Of the few but the blessing of everybody.
Some people are looking with fond dreams
upon oil stock and other frenzied schemes
They do not know enough to keep away from
this kind Of bait, yet they think they are wise
enough to make fortune in game as old as
the world James J. Hill once gave his formula
for success: ''It is the ability to save money

is busy discussing each phase of the proposed
platform The finished product is certain to
represent the opinion of men of all sections and
industries and businesses. It may be alleged
that it will represent the opinion of men of

Wilson Will Not Speak.

Washington, Aug. II. "A re-
port that President Wilson is
planning a speaking trip for an
early date has in some mysteri-
GUS way gained currency in va
rious parts of the country.
Louisville is mentioned in the
report as one of the places where
it is supposed the President is to
speak.
At the White House the re-
port is denied categoricaIly. 1t
is said there that the President
has no intention whatever of
making such a trip, or any trip,
for that matter. Those who are
best acquainted with the Presi-
dents condition do not need a
White House denial to convince
them of the preposterousness of
the report. The President is
not physically able to speak, and
his part in the campaign will be
confined to statements or letter
writing. After the Presidents
tenure of office expires he prob
ably will continue to live in
Washington, according to SEEM
ingly reliable information from
White House circles. These re-
ports are to the effect that he
will occupy the Nourses' man.
