The past few ears have h. en marked by the growth and iff HilopMlflU of what may properly be called the ;.hv i 1 ejajlture fad. All sorts of c urespondence schools

for th. I etterment of physical condition have sprune; into beinp, and some of them have accompli hcd great giod for those whose sedentary habits deprive them of the b' nclits which accompany most of the outdoor sp irta and pastitnea. To teach the average mail and wontan hoar to preserve health: to get them interested W proper bathing, proper eating and rational muscular work. i to take a good ItCD toward the lengthening of days of happiness and usefulness, I c.:t: ipegk with frankness on this point because the fad came h.mc to mc ami resulted in a course of physical training. From the time I began to exercise and bathe by rule my sleep improved, my head cleared and my efficiency as a worker was materially increased. The instruction in the course called attention to the superiority of exerctse in the Open where pure oxygen would be foreetully pumped into the lungs, n raiting in a thorough refreshment of the entire system. From Dr. Seaver and Dr. Luther Hnlsey Gulick, who is at the head of physical training in all the public schools of Greater New York, I learned that the exercise which was taken with pleasurable environment, like the play of children, was accompanied by the loss of very little nerve force, while the work which called on the will power, gymnasium courses ami the like, resulted in a larger c .nsumption of nerve tissue. s my chief ailment had been one of a nervous nature, especially as a sequence tO nnnsuai fatigue. I asked ior and received a special prescription, which was bicycling. I rode as a supplement to the courses already referred to and found the results even better than predicted. A general inquiry among friends ami acquaintances in the medical fraternity disclosed the iact that doctors are again prescribing the bicycle as the best therapeutic agent yet discovered. rJow often we lok for the "spring of perpetual youth" in a far distant land, and behold 1 it u at our d -or.

The Fifty-eighth congress ha.- he-en remarkable for w bat it has not done, and for the extraordinarily early date of adjournment. This anxiety on the part of the republicans to "go home," without attempting to 1 inslate on matters other than appropriation bills, shows bow feeble the g. o. p has become under the present leadership. The democratic leaders in the house of representatives have made the most of their opportunities, and the republicans are like a lot of game chickens that have bun thoroughly trounced and are quite willing to seek the seclusion of their districts, instead of still courageous facing the gaffs of their opponents. The republican leaders fear the people. They are bound to their trust and corporation idols, know ing they would be helpless without the material aid the monopolists furnish, but still they dread the virtuous indignation of the many who are suffering from trust extortion A large number of republican congressmen wre pledged to reform those schedules of the tariff that fostered the trusts, others had engaged to urge reciprocity, but when they met in Washington some occult influence overshadow ed them, and the promises to their constituents have gone for naught. The w ord came forth from the white house to pass the appropriation bills, confirm Crum. and adjourn as quickly as possible. These republican congressmen have nothing to point to with pride. No statehood for the territories; no river and harbor bill; no public buildings bill: no Investigation of post office or other scandals; the Smoot i ase hung up until after election; the Swayne Impeachment postponed; the labor bills laid aside; Important public land bills deferred; procrastination and political cowardice the order of the day- how csn they explain this to their constituents? A i-owardly policy has never been approved by the people of America, nor. It Is to be hoped, ever will be All these great questions that the republican leaders have postponed "until after election." have two sides fhat cannot be compromised, but the republicans feared to face them. The democrats are on the popular side, and the republicans are ommitted to the cause of the few. and yet have not dared to record their votes for the trusts and corjx) rat ions. Indirectly the republicans have taken at tion against the people by not passing upon those matters that would have lightened their burdens, ns reforming the tariff and reducing trust high prices would have done The whole country' favors a rigorous and far-reaching investigation of the scandals in the departments, but the republicans have unanimously voted against It. A committee of congress has reported that Judge Swayne. of the United States court, has committed acts that deserve impea.hment. but to stir tip that s.anda! before election would "hurt the party," and the people of his district must, therefore, be left to his tnder mercy. The remaining matters afl undone may be characterized In the same manner. Whn It comes to relating what this congress has done, the acts passed of a public nature are of but little advantage. If not detrimi-ntal to the people. The appropriations made are nearly uonioo, which will er?alr,ly make the total for the congress the greatest ever appropriated in a time of peace Prov;slon w as made for the ext nslon df the coastwise shipping laws of the Vnlted States to the Philippine islands, which is viru'ally a subsidy to the ship

trust, as it allows the ship owners to charge "all the traffic w ill bear," and will result in increasing the cost of binding twine to the farmers and of other Philippine products to those who purchase them The other few public bills are of semi-local or restricted interest That is the record of the republicans, and each voter must answer at the poll next November, if be is satisfied with their stewardship, or vote to "turn the rascals out." DEMOCRACY'S GREAT DUTY. It Must Win This Year and in Order to Win It Must Be United Solidly. In order to live and en .ure .: party must demonstrate Its usefulness. L mocracy must either prove itself the agent of the people or resign its title before tbe world. Eventually it must either secure a restoration of the people's principles to governmental functions or reliLquisb its claim upon their allegiance and support. HowSWOT virtuous may be the principles which it symbolizes, their mere e ealtaaea as ab.-rtractions cannot, guar- ! antes penaanant party life. Princi-

pies survive oy application and test. Parties survive by their serviceability. Tbe St. Louis Republic aptly say that democracy must conform and adapt itself to tbe country's demands. If it would continueas the great instrumentality of the people. It must sacrifice minor considerations, internal differences and questions of mere personality to the vital motive of practical serviceability. The great body of voters which represents political domination stands ready and eager to employ a democracy ordered upon the broad plan of national needs. Tbe eye of the country Is turned anxiously upon democracy. What will It do? Will it so solve its small internecine problems as to concentrate all Its strength at the polls? Will it lend itself to the plain demands of the people! Inevitably it wib suffer if it does not. A great occasion Is offered for an exercise of the power of genuine democracy. The national government is in control of a political organization w hich is un-American and antagonistic to the organic principles upon which our Institutions are formed and our social body rests. The republican machine is a perversion of politics and political organization; an arrogatlon of power by corrupt means Into the hands of an exclusive ring; its motive is perpetuation and further consolidation of control and itä operation is palpably and directly inimical to rights in the most comprehensive sense. This centralization of power, as it may be called. Is corrupt tt .he heart, essentially, as its pursuits have glaringly exhibited to the people during the eight republican years past The people are manifestly growing keen to liberate themselves from the rule of the trust-tariff boodle organization which has Bean guilty of such dire and costly abuses in administration and such menacing encroachments upon Individual liberty The people fear to Intrust the nation's further keeping to the selfishness, recklessne-ss, trust-Imperialism and opportunism of the Roosevelt regime, the trend of which is toward certain perils, both Internationally and Internally. A safe, sane democrary never stood a belter chance of winning Let it proceeel upon a common-sense basis with a view to present needs. Let It announce Itself rationally both in Its declarations and In Its nomination of a candidate in whom all interests may repose eonfl-d-nce. Let It addms itself to the Issue so clearly and ftsodlf presented. The result cannot be otherwise than profitable. Defeat surely awaits division. There is no hope for any other than a democratic party solidly united upon genuine, immediate, vital Issues.

Oced Time for a Change. Now is the propitious moment for a change. !et us try the democrats for awhile. They have been long-suffering and patient They have been persistent and virile in existence. For months and years they have looked forward to a rew rising of a presidential sun. Candidly, and without flattery to anybody, they an be no worse than the republicans have become. Perhaps after tiey have enjoyed power for a matter of 20 or 25 years and have occasionally bleared btir intellects and virtues with the In

toxication of power It may be Just anl
