Thomas A. Edison, the noted inventor, has announced that, although a life-long Republican, he will support Wilson tor re-election. In these days of high living and the cost of high living, it is interesting to hbte that the sugar refineries have made a cut of 7."> cents per 100 pounds on refined sugar. On September 14 at 8 p. m., in. Tomlinson hall, Indianapolis, Honorable Thomas R. Marshall will be notified of his nomination for vice president. Governor Glynn will deliver the notification speach, and he is some orator. There will be a big parade before the meeting and a big . time generally.

WHY HUGHES HAS FAILED.

The close of Mr. Hughes’ Western tour finds Republicans in general bitterly, not to say resentfully, disappointed in his speeches and in his campaign. No other candidate for President in a generation has failed so completely to measure -up to public expectations. When Mr. Hughes was nominated the universal opinion was that ( he would prove stronger than ius party. He has shown that he is only as strong as his party and no stronger. The belief is common today that if Mr. Hughes should be elected President it will be because the country is conservatively Republican in its politics and that any other Republican candidate satisfactory to Wall

street, and the German vote, would have done as well. Democrats exultantly declare that the Hughes “myth” has been exploded. We are not so certain that it was a “myth.” The Hughes reputation was based upon si:Dstantial public service, but the standards of public service have changed since •Mr. Hughes was governor of New York. The count thinking politically on broader lines. The war, the Wilson administration and even the Roosevelt campaign of 1912, have had an enormous educational effect upon the average American. It could not have been otherwise. When Mr. Hughes ran for governor ill 1906, his opponent was William R. Hearst, and in comparison with Mr. Hearst it is not difficult for a man of Mr. Hughes’ training and temperament to shine in a campaign, Even George B. McClellan acquired that distinction. When Mr. Hughes ran in T9OB his opponent was Lewis Stuyvesnnt Chanter, and, however likable Mr. Chanler may he, his best friend would hardly describe him as an intellectual athlete. When Mr. Hughes was governor the state was absorbed in relatively small matters like Barnes and Murphy. The most ambitious attempt of Governor Hughes was tc* enact a direct primary law that excluded New York city from its operations nr the name of fusion. He failed completely, but it. was regarded in those days as a history-making fight.

In his campaign for the Presidency, Mr. Hughes is obliged to measure up against Woodrow Wilson, who is quite different material from the political pigmies- w ith whom Mr. Hughes wrestled in New York. Bossisrn i 9 not an issue that can be raised against the Wilson administration, for the good and sufficient reason that whatever bossing has -been done has been done by the President himself, and the bread-and-butter Democrats are Ml in revolt against him. A country at peace tnat has weathered the successive crises of the most devastating war in all history and has been dealing with domestic legislation of the first caliber, is not impressed with smaller things, and Mr. Hughes dates back' to the days of smaller things. While he was an associate justice of the United States supreme cdurt he lost touch with the forward march of the American people. He does not know how they think or how they feel, and he is not able to adjust himself to a new political environment. In a wjjiy he is a political anarchronism, and while he will strive desperately, men of his age who have fallen behind in liberal habits of thought never quite catch up with the procession. Mr. Hughes still visualizes the United States and the American people as they were in 1910 when he went upon the bench. Mentally he is still living in the Taft administration. The history tjjat has been

written since that day is a blank page to him in all its larger aspects as affecting the destiny of mankind. That is why his campaign is a failure.——New York World.

PROFESSOR OF HINDSIGHT.

Mr. Hughes’ looking backward habit is getting downright laughable. So long as the country was threatened with a "disastrous railroad strike, he held liis peace or talked about the tariff. Not a single constructive suggestion did he make during that anxious time. But the moment the strike is averted, through the leadership of President Wilson and the quick action of congress, Mr. Hughes breaks forth in denunciation of the way industrial peace was preserved and platitudinous piffle about “standing for arbitration” when there was no way of compelling anyone to arbitrate. Small wonder the Nashville audience giggled when the Republican candidate aired this latest bit of post-mortem wisdom. Still, one must be fair to Mr. Hughes. He isn’t getting any nearer the White House by carping at the President, but he is making another sort of place for himself. When the campaign is over, some enterprising university ought to annex Justice Hughes as professor of hindsight to teach “history as it ought to have was.” He would shine in that job. —Chicago Journal.

Bad Roads Killed Her.

A few years ago a beautiful woman in the prime of life lay suffering upon a sick bed in a rural community. It was imperative that she have a physician at once. The hired man was dispatched for one in haste. V He made the best time possible, but the roads were muddy, and had, and cut up, and traveling at best was very slow. He lost much time in going, and the physician was equally delayed in his progress. After many hours he fina’ly reached the side the sufferer. But death had beaten him—for death had no bad roads to cover. Had the physician reached her a little sooner her life could have been saved. But he did his best—and bad roads did the rest. Bad roads killed this woman. And bad roads are killing others every day in like manner. Now isn’t this a compelling argument in favor of better country roads? Or is the life of a human being of less value than the cost of a few dollars spent in road improvement? A member of yous own family may furnish the subject for the next story, brother. Best think It over.

You and the Paper.

The local paper is always nustling for you and yours. But what aT'e you doing for It? The paper is always scheming,

and planning, and laboring for a better- community; for a more prosperous community. Do you ever exert yourself to give the paper a boost? The paper is always pushing you and your people to the front, giving you a good word before your neighbors and the public, assisting you to build up a reputation which will be of inestimable value to you throughout the years-of your life,. But what are you doing? Are you reciprocating in any way? Do you ever suggest to your neighbors or your friends that it is a good paper, a loyal paper, and that it should receive their support? The paper devotes many hours and many pages in advertising th« natural advantages of the community—of your community—and in seeking to enhance the welfare of your community and of yourself. But what of you? Do yon ever seek to advertise the paper, or to swell its subscription list, or to increase its general usefulness to the community? The paper is working six days of the week for the community, and for you, and for yours. But do you ever devote a minute of your time to its material welfare? Have you ever done so? The duty of the paper is to supply you with the legitimate news of the town and community. Bufc the paper goes much farther. Its labors in behalf of the community are endless and without end, and it will continue to advocate the cause of community progress as long as it is a paper. You are an important part of the community, therefore its labors are in your behalf. But are you doing one single thing to requite the paper for all of its toil and expense in your behalf? You take the paper, you say. True, and you get more than value received each issue in the news items alone. The fund of infounation which the paper hands you each publication day for a cent or two would cost you many dollars if you went out to gather it up yourself. But this is not a kick, nor is it a roast. It is just a little food for thought m a few of your idle moments. v

Walt Mason’s Rhymes.

My neighbor keeps a lot of bees, which much annoyance bring me, for when I sit beneath the trees, they come along and sting me. Another neighbor keeps a pup, the which I’d like to hammer; all night it shakes the welkin up, with most disgusting clamor; and when I try to do a bit of ground and lofty sleeping,, that mangy bow-wow throws' a fit, its noisy vigils keeping. And still another neighbor owns a -husky short-horn rooster, and one may hear its strident tones from Wahoo to Wooster. And when the pup, whose music cloys, grows weary of its carols, the rooster springs a lot of noise—about a million barrels. Between the /ooster and the bees, the concerts dog-and-catty, my mind is bagging at knees—l fear I’m going batty. The life we live would be less raw, and peace would bless our labors, if congress would produce a law abolishing all neighbors.

Walnuts as Food.

A London medical journal recently published some interesting facts concerning walnuts as food. According to this authority, “thirty large walnut kernels contain as much food value as two and three-quarters pounds of lean beef.”. With beef worth approximately 20 cents a pound, this means that each walnut is worth about 2 cents as a food product as compared with beef. That these facts will greatly encourage the production and consumption of walnuts is hardly to be expected. There is some consolation, however, in the thought that when meat has become a luxury to be indulged only by the rich, the general consumer can keep his dinner very well—somewhat iik£ Peter Pumpkineater’s wife —in a walnut shell.

RESULTS TELL

There Can lie No Doubt About the llesults in Rensselaer. Results tell the tale. All doubt is removed. The testimony of a Rensselaer citizen can be easily investigated. What better proof can be had? C. Eh Stevrard, insurance man, S. Ftont and Main Sts., Rensselaer, says: “I get Doan’s Kidney Pills occasionally at A. F. Long’s Drug Store and use them with very good results. I had been subject to serious attacks of kidney disorder before I tried them. My back for a long period was lame and sore and I was hardly ever free from a heavy ache in it. Whenever I feel any signs of my kidneys not being in a good condition, I use a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and they always quickly correct such disorder. In that way, I keep free from the old suffering and in good health. ' Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney same that Mr. Steward had.
