OAlNA -
Davis is told that with the South
and New York, Massachusetts,, IL
linois, etc., he is ELECTED NOW.
La Follette's followers say they
have ''twenty-fve States sure"
The "rosy" days are pleasant, only
some one is sure to be disappointed.
The Government has ordered a
group of flying machines that can
travel through the air, on the
water and on land. Only one step
remains, the a%mphibian and sub
mersible flying machine pulling in
its wings and becoming a sub
marine. That will come also.
John r. Voorhis, Oldest Office
holder, aged ninety-fve,. predicts a
woman President. She will come,
but not in fifty years. Many
women in the United States would
make Presidents better than any,
with two exceptions, since Thomas
Jefferson. But man, proud man,
dressed in a little brief authority,
will take a long time to get over
his SUPERIORITY COMPLEX.
Men of low intelligence sincerely
believe that they are in some mys-
ferrous way woman's superior, and
such men decide Presidential cleo
tons.
If a woman becomes President
before 1880, it will be through pro-
motion Of a Vice-President. That
might happen within a generation.
The world really is becoming a
lnall place. American fliers,

th,v left England.
Their hop was from England
to H~reenland, and then they will
be getting Summer things ready
for their joyous, triumphant land
ing in warm America. "Around
the world in eighty days" was a
fairy story. Around the world in
six days or less will be REALITY,
before 1000 A. d.
The scientific world notes the
discovery in France of a new
a~naesthetic called "sommifaire."
/. With no bad after effects this
anaesthetic makes possible the
longest operations. 1t is injected
into the blood, causes the patient
to remain half conscious for thirty
hours, which is excellent for
major operations.
1t is hard to believe as you read
: of scientific methods for avoiding.
pain that when anacsthetics were
first used they were savagely dc
. nounced as works of the devil.
Earnest preachers declared that
God WANTED us to suffer nj II
was a sin to thwart His divine Will.
Joseph Greenberg, of New York,
will return to his home with new
knowledge Of this country and
greater respect for the size OF
Texas. He left Brooklyn in a
little automobile to bring his son
back from somewhere in Texas"
and told his wife he would be gone
"about three days" He will be
surprised to find it will take HIM
about as long to o Texas as to
cross all the rest of the American
continent. When you've entered
Texas on n side and come out
on the other, you have covered
almost half the distance from
ocean to ocean.
When historians write Of the
three great periods of barbarous
development, the stone age, bronze
age and iron age, they will say:
>"The full industrial development
of the iron age, reached at about
the year 1000 of the period hui
morously called the Christian
Era may perhaps be called thu
beginning of civilization.
"Men had developed faint idcai
of right and wrong. But whit
they had begun to leave theii
great fortunes to education aDS
science instead of seeking TO brlb'
their deity and buy eternal bliss
for their own worthless souls
they retained the worst features
Of earlier barbarism. The dis

and physics we're used for wa
murder on a gigantic scale.
"The 6rogs Of the race commit

The so-called upper classes live,
in shameful luxury, utterly indif

into factories and mills, grindin,
