A short time ago we read in Collier's Weekly of a man who advocated we make Theoaore Roosevelt emperor of the United States, arguing that that was the only way in which we could keep such a good man at the head of the government. Collier's gave space to this man's argument because of the oddity of a citizen of a republic advocating the transformation of his government into a monarchy. Aside from that phase the matter is not worthy of consideration. The United States has no need of a monarchial form of government to retain a good man at the head of the government. We can, if necessary, re-elect him as often as we like and that means as long as we have need for him. Then when his usefulness to the republic is done with we do not have to continue him in power nor hand over the power he wielded during life to his son after death. Turning to Europe for examples of monarchial governments, it is not difficult to see the faults of the system as compared to our own. We will grant that under the monarchial system a good executive is retained for life. But history, the great guide for comparisons, shows us that there is only about one capable monarch for every ten or fifteen incapable ones. That is, during the successive reigns of the members of a sovereign family out of fifteen kings, only one was really a capable ruler. And for the sake of having that one capable ruler, the country over which he ruled, had to put up with fifteen Indifferent or bad rulers. In the United States, however, if, at the end of four years we find we have elected an incapable president we hand him a political lemon and make him n member of the ex-presidential family. Just how well our system has worked, a glance will show. Out of twenty-six presidents only two have been so Incapable that the country suffered under their administration. The remaining twenty-four have been men under whom the country has advanced end prospered. Consider the fact that the United States has done in one hundred years what it has taken Europe five hundred years to do, and you will see another phase in favor of our form of government. The republican form of government as administered in the United States, is conducive to the greatest possible advancement in tne shortest space of time. Every crisis this country has faced has brought forth the man to pilot us through the stormy times. Lincoln took us through the great crisis cf the civil war. Today President Roosevelt is taking us through the crisis of a rebellion against oppressive and dishonest financiers who have threatened to displace our representa tive government of, for and by the people, by a government of their own monied plutocracy. Yet for this, there is no more need to make Theo dore Roosevelt emperor than there was to confer that title and honor on Lin coln. The republic must face other and possibly, greater crises during its existence, and when it does it must be in a position to afford the opportunity to the right man, who always puts in an appearance, to come forward and take hold of the government. We must never be bound down by the handi cap of a reigning family and one goou ruler out ol fifteen, when we are in a position to command a good ruler practically every four years. ROOSEVELT SENTIMENT. Major Ilaverstick voices the sentiment of Richmond and Wayne county when he states that everywhere he goes he finds the people are for Roose velt for president again. The presi dent has tried his best not to make himself an issue in the next campaign and he has failed. He has declared two or three times he would not be a candidate under any consideration and the people pay no attention to him and go right on shouting for him. It is just as a republican editor from a democratic county of the Sixth district said before the Sixth District editors' meeting at New Castle several months ago-. "Even the democrats down my way arc r 'or Roosevelt, and if he r would cnu. - the next nominee for the presidency there would not be a democrat left In my county." Rather strong, we admit, but In the main true. The people, democrats and republicans

alike, recognize In President Roosevelt not a republican president, but a president of all the people, working for the good of all the people and, democrat or republican, they want him to continue in office another four years. If the president could only be persuaded to run again the "solid south" would become but a memory, for he would carry several of those Southern states that have been returning democratic majorities for half a century. And he could do this simply because he has downed the sectional feeling that has been rampant in those states since the war. We have not yet forgotten the speech of John Temple Graves, the Southern editor, who asked Bryan to put Roosevelt's name in nomination for president before the democratic national convention. That is an apt illustration of the feeling Southerners now hold for President Roosevelt. We want President Roosevelt again because he has been tried and not found wanting. We want him because Wall street speculators and financiers and their hired press denounce him. We want him because he is not the ideal of perfection and makes mistakes just like the rest of us, and is not afraid to admit them. We want him because if he wants a cocktail he takes it, secure in feeling that there is a majority of us who do not beaeve in prying into his private tastes. We want him because he is an all around good man, no more an angel than the rest of us, but just a little more keen than some of us, and just a little better executive. We have him now and if we say we are going to have him four more years, he cannot get out of it, for he has taught the people to be masters of their government and they in turn can use that power to make him president again.

AN IMPORTANT POINT. Addison C. -Harris raised a very important point before the convention of trust company officials and stockholders at Indianapolis, Wednesday. He stated he believed the present law should be amended so that no one could own more than one-tenth of the capital stock of a trust company and in this event the failure of one stockholder would in no means imperil the standing of the company. That is a splendid suggestion, not only for the trust companies, but also for all banks. Had such a law been universal through the country it would be impossible for the speculators who throng Wall street, to control so many of the banking institutions of New York, and im peril, as they do,' the savings of thous ands of people by their rash transac tions. Indiana should not be consid ered in the same breath when it comes to comparing its trust companies with those of New York. We are an inland state, interested in manufacturing and agriculture and not in speculation. But if one of our brightest lawyers thinks such a law would be a benefit to the financial institutions of the state, how much more beneficial would it be if applied universally, and thus relieve the entire country of the danger that must always stalk abroad as long as speculators in New York can us the funds entrusted to banking institutions to further their operations. The present money panic in Wall street is an illustration of what can happen during a period of distrust brought on by unconfined speculation, and could have been prevented if conservative bankers had been in power instead of hairbrained speculators. As it is, the men who are trying to bring order out of chaos are the conservative element. who have forced the speculative element to take a rear seat. Now is the time to keep that speculative element in the rear for all time", and a law such as has been suggested by Addison Har ris, would be one of the surest ways to bring it about. The film of a soap bubble is so thin that fifty million of them would be re quired to make one inch.

Your Thinker

Brain (and other nerve cells) waste away exactly as other portions of the human body give out a little every hour. Unless this waste is repaired the b rain gets weak and brain-fag and nerrous prostration set in. This waste is restored naturally by Albumen and Phosphate of Potash found in

Worn-out, broken-down brains can surely be rebuilt by the rise of GRAPE-NUTS, the most scientific food in the world. If you are a thinker your brain wastes away in proportion as ou use it. It can be kept KEEN on GRAPE-NUTS. "There's a. Reason" Look for the little book, "The Road to Wellville" in pk&ra.

Food Poisons.

90 Per Cent of All Diseases the Result cf Undigested Putrefying Foods. Men of affairs, women of society and children with active brains are too often sedentary in their habits, giving little time to exercise. To this evil 13 added that of high and irregular livingas a result, the stomach cannot stand the demands made upon it. The abused and overtaxed stomach does not properly do the work of digestion, food taken in ferments and the poison permeates the whole system. The body loses in weight and becomes a prey for the attack of whatever disease it may encounter. Did it ever occur to you how busy that stomach of yours is? It only holds three pints, but in one year you force it to take in 2,44K) pounds of material, digest it and prepare it for assimilation into the blood. No wonder it rebels when overworked. We crowd it with steaks and pastry, irritate its juices wtlh spices and acids, and expect the stomach to do its work. It can't do it. All over the inner layer of the stomach are glands which secrete the juices necessary to digestion. The entrance of food into the stomach is the signal for these glands to do their work. Tne more the food, and the more indigestible .the greater the demand upon thtm and upon the muscles of the wall adjoining. Think of the tons of high-seasoned game, sweetmeats and appetizers crammed into this little four-ounc? mill, and then wonder, if you will, why you are dizzy or nauseated or constipated. Don't blame your stomach or curse your fate that you should be born so unfortunate. Blame yourself and apply the remedy. First, get a small package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taking one after each meal and at bed time. They are not a medicine, but a digestive. Your stomach is worn out and needs help, not medicine. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do the work that the stomach fails to do. There's enough power in one grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to digest 3,000 grains of ordinary food, so you needn't fear that anything you eat will remain in your stomach undigested. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will rout the poison because they remove the cause food fermentation. They are nature's own cure for dyspepsia. The host of troubles dyspepsia is father of cannot be numbered, for a healthy stomach is the source of all health. Seize your opportunity before worse conditions confront you. Send today for a free trial package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They will bring your stomach relief. F. A. Stuart Co., 150 Stuart Bldg.. Marshall, Mich.

RUSSELL TO BE SPEAKER He Will Deliver Addresse DePauw. at Greencastle, Ind., Oct. 23 At a meeting of the DePauw Peace Association it was announced that arrangements had been made whereby Prof. Elbert Russell of Earlham College would come here to address tl.e students on "International Peace." The local society is part of Andrew Carnegie's International Peace Association and the local members are preparing themselves for the comim oratorical contest. No Hessians Need Apply. Aunt Sally Linnekin was looking admiringly at a collection of souvenir postal cards brought back from Europe by one of her summer boarders. "Now, this one." said he. showing a handsome card, "is from Hesse, where those Hessian soldiers came from, you know." Aunt Sally put down the cards Dd rose up in Intense indignation. "Land sakes!" she exclaimed In horror. "Did you go there?" No Secret. "We'll, well." exclaimed Miss Passay. "so she's twenty-five today. I guess it would surprise her if I should tell her I was- the same age." "Oh. no." replied Miss Knox; "she knows that, of course." "She knows that I'm twenty-five?" "No; that you were."

SWITCH DMAID All INCREASE IN PAY Want Six Cents in Addition to The Four Cents Granted Some Time Ago. STRIKE NOT HINTED AT. BUSINESS IS HEAVY IN THE LOCAL PENNSYLVANIA YARDS RELIEF PAYMENTS OTHER NEWS OF RAILROADS. Switchmen in the Richmond Pennsylvania yards and switchmen over the entire Richmond division, are now preparing demands for an increase in wages, it is asserted among local railroad men. Last fall the switchmen demanded an increase of ten cent3 on the hour, but wv ranted instead an increase of four v-ats. The switchmen will this fall ask for the remaining six cents per hour, double pay for Sundays and holidays and time and a half for overtime. It is asserted that switchmen over the entire country are underpaid in proportion to the importance of their positions, and there is dissatisfaction the tntire country over. Local switchmen were for a long time under the protection of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. No strike is hinted at, in case the railroad company does not grant the increase. AWAITED WITH INTEREST. It is probable that Richmond will be represented at the meeting of the American Railway association, which will be held in New York next week. The action of the American railway association on the rail evil is awaited with interest, as the ruling of the assocation may largely atfect steel -companies furnishing the roads of the country with steel. BUSINESS IS HEAVY. An immense amount of freight Is being handled in the Pennsylvania j yards in this city at the present time. Day and night crews are constantly busy in the east end yards as well as the uptown yards. The freight is being handled with dispatch, however, and there are no fears expressed at the present time of a freight congestion, such as bothered Richmond last fall. RELIEF PAYMENTS REPORTED.

At a meeting held in Pittsburg, the plans of merging the small branch roads now operated by the Pennsylvania as independent lines were again discussed and the plans for merging will in all probability be carried out. The cost of operating these lines under the present arrangement is too great, and it is proposed eventually to have all the lines of Pittsburg operated as one system. PLAN IS CONTINUED. The management of the Pennsylvania announces that it will continue during the month of November the sale of its present commutation and package tickets at the same rates of fare and under the same condition as at present.

It has beeu said that Kingley's fame as a poet is not so wide as it deserves to be. Whatever truth there may be in this assertion there can be no doubt regarding bis right to a place In the front rank of nineteenth centnry novelists. Kingsley'g "Alton Locke," the Chartist novel, in which he eclipsed even Dickens in his vivid picture of the life of the poorer classes, somewhat outshone his later works, but even these betray indications on every piige of having emanated from a master mind. As a preacher Kingsley was simple and earnest, and no less so when he preached at "Westminster that: when he addressed his village congregation at Eversley. London Standard.
