Another is growing belief that
Senator Arthur Vandenberg, re.
garded as third strong possibility,
doesn't want the 1895 G.. o. P.
nomination unless he is sure it's
worth having. ..-
From sources not very far from
the senator come reports that he is
inclined to believe Roosevelt's
chances of reelection are rather
good. Vandenberg is exceptionally
eanhy and probably realizes that
it doesn't do 1910 candidate any
good to be badly beaten in 1896.
On the other hand, Republican
candidate who came near beating
Roosevelt next year would be-
strong contender for denomination
FOUR years later. Vandenberg's at,
titude toward the 1886 nomination
is likely to be determined by the
degree to which Roosevelt seems
to grow weaker or, stronger in the
next four or five months.

The white man agreed to the
plan, and the rabbit carried out
his part. AS soon as all the ami
mails of the forest had gathered in
the white mans house to be pres

slammed and fastened the door,
and yelled, "Risc up, white man,
and get your meat"
So the white man threw off the
bedclothes, leaped to the floor,
and began laying about him with
his big knife. He let drive at the
'possum just as the 'possum was
going out the window, which the
rabbit had neglected to shut, but
missed him except for cutting off
the end of one of the 'possum's
thumbs. And since that time the
'possum has had only the stump of

His prediction and disclosures
of a drug now being used expert
mentally for such cases were
made informally, but created
great interest among the thous-
ands of medical men assembled
here.
Identity Kept Secret
He declined to identify the
drug, but devealed it is being used
experimentally by DR.. Alfred w.
Adson, of the University of Min
nesota, with remarkable results.
DR.. Mayo asserted he had wit
messed patients confined to
aSylums for seven years treated
with the experimental drug ana
had watched return OF their
mental faculties. He added:
"But within three weeks the
effects of the drug had disap-
peared and they again were
back in the institution. 1 feel
certain we are on the road to a
discovery which will make the
cure Permanent"

Common Sense From Mr.. Ford

Whenever Henry Ford can be induced to COM
ment public AFFAIRS he usually says something that
reeks with sound common sense. To an interviewer
the other day, who had suggested that economic af
fairs are out Of gear, Mr.. Ford replied:
"How long has it been since everything was all
right? In what year was everything working perfect
ly, or pretty nearly 500"
A great deal of loose thinking and loose talking
about the condition of the world and of
ton of it seems to be based upon the false and fool
sh notion that not very long ago that every
thing perfect Everybody had job with good
wages all businesses prosperous all banks were
sound all brokers honest, crime practically
unknown and all the farmers were making money and
keeping out of debt! Then something, perhaps man
ipulated from Wall Street, happened to throw the
whole economic system into choas.
That is about the way great many people look
at present conditions. They think they brought
about by some malignant outside force It does not
take a long memory or more than ordinary common
sense to realize that that point of view is utterly ab
surd. AS Mr.. Ford put it:
eve always imagine ourselves to be the poor in
nocent victims we seldom think of ourselves as part
of the guilty cause
Try thinking that over for while.

Recovery On The Way

President Roosevelt's first words on landing at
Charleston after his long cruise were We are on our
way back.
There is great deal in the record of business
conditions to back up that statement. Compared with
the time of his return from Hawaii in 1884, business
is certainly better Carloadings, always regarded as
an excellent index of business activity, nearly 70
per cent greater The stock market average price of
the so best stocks was $11O share when he landed
at Charleston, as against $40 share the year before
when he got back from Hawaii The excellent general
business index compiled by The New York Times
stood at $685. as compared with 1913 year ago. In
dustrial employment has increased as Of course, it
was bound to do with Improvement in business con
ditons On the whole the Presidents statement that
eve are on way back seems entirely accurate:
Mr.. Roosevelt amplified his statement by adding
"We are coming back soldly because we planned it
that way and don't let anybody tell you differently
Nevertheless concedng the fact that business is bet
ter the Opposition is to contend that it would be
lots better than it is if it had not been for plans
emanating from Washington.
Here we have an example Of one of those differ
ences of opinion, without which, as Mark Twain re-
Marked there would be no horse races.
