This Is My 52 nd Birthday

CHARLES F. JOHNSON. Charlca P. Johu&oa. tho successor of Kugene Halo, of Maine, Id tho United States senate, was bora in Winslow, Mc.. Feb. 14, 1859. After attendtne the country schools ho wen to Bowdoln College and was graduated In 1879. Ho took up at once the study of law, teaching a little in the meantime to help out his finances. In 1SS6 he was admitted to the bar, and ever since then go has practiced In the city or Watervllte. He has foe years been counted 4ne of the foremost lawyers in the state of Maine. While building up an extensive legal practice he has at .the same time been actively Interested in politics and state affairs. He has served as mayor of Watervllle and member of the legislature and was an unsuccessful candidate for governor and representative In Congress. Mr. Johnson hat the distinction of being the first Democrat that the State of Maine hat sent to the United States senate since before the civil war.

Dr. A. W. Buell. who died at Mt Pleasant, la., recently, left Instruction with Burlington undertakers that his body should be kept for from three to ten week and then wrapped in asbestos before burial.

Indiana And Ohio

The question is asked. Can the Republicans of Indiana and Ohio get together again? They have suffered, through divisions, two beatings in two years. In both states things Republican are described as unprimising. Sometimes as strong a word as chaotic is used. Report has it that the president is asked to lend a hand toward harmony. Is it not, in the last analysis, a simple proposition, so far as next year is concerned? The two Democratic triumphs have been on local issues. While voting for Harmon and Marshall two years ago, both states voted for Taft. On national issues the Republican party was favored. Protection and sound money carried the day. Since then there has been a campaign on the tariff, and the verdict throughout the country was against the Republicans. But not in repudiation of the policy of protection. The fault found related to the measure of reductions contained in the new revision. Many Republicans in Indiana and Ohio, as elsewhere, thought, and declared by their votes last November that the Payne law did not redeem the Chicago platform promise of 1908. They took the ground that many duties might have been carried below the igureB adopted with benefit to the people and without injury to the principle of protection. Today, by I he president's action, reciprocity is a prominent factor in Ihe tariff calculations, and the effect in both Indiana and Ohio should be heartening and strenRthenlng to the Republicans. Mr. Beverldge promptly supports the president and the pact with Canada is strictly, in line with the spirit or Mr. McKlnley's Buffalo speech. On the tariff question tho Buckeye Republicans always eupiiortcd Mr. McKlnley, and there is no reason why they should not now support an application of his well known views ten years after his death. Neither the Hoosiers nor the Buckeyes are amateurs at the game of politics. They have played it with skill and zest for a great many years and at one time both states were close. In 1876, 1880, 1884 and 1888 Indiana was fought for with an energy almost unparalleled In our history, the Democrats, through Mr. Hendricks strength, winning in 1876 and 1884, and the Republicans winning through Mr. English's weakness in 1880, and through Mr. Harrison's strength in 1888. Look out, then, for warm times next year in both those fields. Washington Star.

BRIGHT CHILDREN NEED SPECIAL CARE Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 14. Special care and direction of abnormally bright children were urged by Profestor K. R. JohnBtone, superintendent of the Training School for Feeble-minded Children at Vineland, N. J., who spoke before a large meeting 6r the Mothers' Club in the New Century Guild. "Take care of these children," ho said: "They are going to be the leaders and 'somebodies' or tomorrow, if they are not allowed to overwork themselves today. A very bright child should be restrained, not urged. If a boy In school for Instance, can keep at the head of his class with ease, is that any reason why he should be put In a harder grade and forced to live in a constant -strain in the endeavor to make good, a strain that is bound to react physically if not mentally? "Children who are doing the work required of the normal children of their age are doing enough, and if the parents are wise, they will see to it that they do no more. For the sake of the future and the parts they will probably take, these Instinctive leaders should be guarded, and protected if necessary against the possible ravages of their own too keen intellect."

In the absence of government statistics showing the number of Aamerican factories that have established branches in Canada, the Montreal Star, after a careful canvass, reports a list of no less than 184, with a combined estimated capital of $233,-000,000.

IT DEROGATES STAGE

Commercialism Results Comic Opera Trash.

in

Chicago, Feb. 14. There is too

much "trash" in the shape of comic

opera and cheap melodrama offered to the public, according to speakers who

addressed the Chicago Hebrew Insti

tute Players Club. Commercialism is

the alleged cause.

Miss Gertrude Dallas leading woman in "The Great Name," told the club that less commercialism and more

idealism is needed.

"Commercialism is the trouble with

the stage today," she asserted. "If

more plays were written that keep In

mind the ideal the stage would be

come uplifting and educational. Donald Robertson's Plea.

Donald Robertson also made a plea for the uplift. "Frequently I am asked," he said, "whether or not I would advise a person to enter on a stage career. My reply is this: 'If you are not suffused with the truth to reveal the soul of man to man, don't become an actor.' The revelation of life is the mission of the stage. "The advent of money changers in the management of the stage began five hundred years before Christ and has continued since. There was a time when a city of 45,000 built a theater that would seat twenty thousand. That twenty thousand went to the theater to listen to such things that are now offered only to those of the elect. Sense of Beauty lost. "You coli Id not get an audience of twenty thousand people together in any place on earth that would really enjoy what those people so long ago enjoyed. We have lost or dulled our sense of beauty. "The world has lived under just two ideas. One of them Is beauty, the other duty. The latter has taken the place of beauty, and not until the two are joined will the stage become a place of enjoyment rather than one of amusement."

TO LEAVE THE ARMY Judge Advocate General Is

Put on Retired List.

(American News Service) Washington. Feb. 14. After having served as judge advocate general of the army for almost a decade, Brig. Gen. George B. Davis relinquished his duties at noon today to his successor in office. Col. Enoch If. Crowder. the next senior officer of the corps. The change is due to the fact that Gen. Davis became 64 years of age today and therefore under the law he was relegated to the retired lit. The retirement of Gen. Davis strikes from the active list one of the few surviving officers of the civil war. He entered the army in September, 1S63. as a sergeant of the First Massa

chusetts Volunteer Cavalry. After tho war he wias admitted to the military academy. On his graduation, four years later he was appointed second lieutenant of the Fifth cavalry. He served in that regiment for seventeen years. He has held the office of judge advocate general since May, 1001. By virtue of special legislation and because of his service during the civil war he is retired with the rank of major general. Col. Crowder, the new judge advocate general is a native of Missouri. He was graduated from West Point in 1SS1. He served in the volunteer army in Cuba during the war with Spain, and later in the Philippine insurrection, reaching the grade of brigadier general of volunteers. As the legal adviser to the governor of Cuba when the United States entered the island on its, mission of pacification from 1906 to' 1909, Col. Crowder materially assisted in the re-establishment of the Cuban government.

MARSHALL MIGHT VOTE "WET" OR "DRY"

Muntie, Ind., Feb. 14. Governor Marshall, in a letter addressed to the Rev. T. J. Johnson, assistant pastor of the First Universalist church defends his position on the new liquor law. The Rev. Mr. Johnson had written the Governor a letter denouncing the Governor for signing the bill that repealed the county option law, and condemning the new liquor law as "undemocratic and un-American." To this the Governor replied and the letter, as given below, was read before the "forum" which was debating the subject, "Shall the Saloons Return to Muncie." "Dear Sir: I have never uttered a sentiment privately that I have not expressed publicly. I have never expressed any opinion as to whether the saloons ought to return to Muncie. I have believed that the people of Muncie have the right to settle the matter, and that is as far as I can go. If I were a resident of Muncie and were convinced that the abolition of the saloons had worked for the cause, of temperance I would vote 'dry.' If on the other band, I were convinced that it bad . not helped the cause of temperance, I would vote 'wet.' "

Cures Sore and Tired Feet. Ordinary antiseptic vllane powder has many valuable uses, but probably few persons know what wonderful power it has over sore, tired, aching or calloused fe'et. It draws all the soreness . prevents congestion and cold feet, while it removes corns, bunions and callouses. Many physicians know its worth, and the public can be saved much suffering by this knowledge being imparted. If the reader wishes to try it, obtain of any leading druggist two ounces of vilane powder. To a gallon of steaming water add a teaspoonful of

the powder and a tablespoonful of

salt, and keep the feet immersed from 10 to 20 minutes every night for several weeks.

ENGINE NO. 13 EARNS

ITS HOODOO TITLE Hammond, Ind., Feb. 14. Officers

of the operating department of the

Indiana Harbor railroad are in a quandary how to get a crew to run

engine No. 13 used in the freight run between Danville and Gibson. A few days ago the engineer. Jack Crawford, fell dead in the cab at -Schneider, twenty miles south of her. The engineer had asked for relief at Kentland, but it had been refused. He tried to run his train through to Gibson, but

fell dead after getting orders he re

ceived at Schneider.

Six engineers were called before

one could be found who would take

the train through. The train was

dead for twenty-four hours. Finally

one engineer took the train to St.

Johns, where it broke and John;

Welsh, head breakman, was crushed

between the drawbars.

The crews refused to take the en

gine out, owing to superstition that it

is bad luck for to run an engine on

which the engineer has died.

If you have suffered for years with constipation, and have not found anything which would relieve and restore a normal condition of the bowels, you should write to The Blackburn Products Co., Dayton, Ohio, and obtain a Free trial package ofBlackburn's Casca-Royal Pills, or you can obtain a 10c of 23c package from any well stocked drug store.

Our Political Postoffice John Wanamaker was Postmaster General; Senator Boies Penrose is chairman of the great Postoffice Committee of the United States Senate; Thomas H. Carter, Senator from Montana, has served many years on that committee. No three men in the United States are better versed in postoffice affairs and needs than these. On February 9, 1911, the Senate Postoffice Committee, under the leadership of Senators Penrose and Carter, reported favorably to the Senate for action the Postoffice Appropriation bill, containing a provision, put in without allowing public hearing or open consideration, but under political pressure from the White House, that increases the postage rate on magazines and periodicals to such an extent that it practically absorbs all the profits of the publishing business of the country and makes the further production of popularpriced magazines impossible. It imposes a tax that is confiscatory. Notwithstanding, within the year Senator Boies Penrose said, referring to the Carter-Weeks bill: "These are some of the big features of the bill. The whole intent is to systematirjand to modernise the entire postal system. It is idle to take up such questions as apportioning the cost for carrying second-class mall matter or the proper compensation of railroads for transporting the mails until we shall have established business methods in postoffice affairs by a reorganization of the whole postal system. "The commission unanimously recommended the passage of the projected bill. Personally I have been very much interested In all the details and, of course, am heartily in favor of the changes to be made." Senator Carter said last March : "But I must forego further pursuit of details. The bill was cordially approved by Postmaster General Meyer and his assistants, and likewise has the approval of Postmaster General Hitchcock. It, failed of passage, during the last Congress owing to lack of time for its proper consideration, but I have reintroduced the bill, which is now designated Senate 62S7, Second Session, Sixty-first Congress. Tho Committee on Postoffices and Postroads will favorably report the bill to the Senate, and it should be enacted into law before the close of this session. I believe not only that it. will increase efficiency, but that, after the expense of installation is absorbed, it will result in such economies in the administration of the department and service as will ere long wipe out the deficiency. In operating under it the department will be able with almost unerring certainty to determine the actual cost of each service performed, thereby reaching a sound basis for legislation such as is neither available nor obtainable under the present system. "I deeply sympathize with the earnest desire of the department officials to get rid of the deficiency they are fated to encounter each year, but 1 submit that the first real movement toward that end must begin with the substitution of a modern, up-to-date business organization for the existing antiquated system, which rests upon a few sections of law enacted in 1835, supplemented by statutory fragments added from time to time since that year." John Wanamaker said recently: . "With Mr. Hitchcock's suggestion, however, there will be no general agreement. The magazines are supported, not by the price paid for the magazine by the readers, but by the advertisers. "In a sense, magazines are private concerns: but they have a public function to perform an educational function. To tax the advertisements Is to tax the quality of the educational matter contained in the pages, for the advertisements enable the publishers to pay high prices for literature and educational articles. The price paid for a magazine does not pay for the printing and the paper. If Mr. Hitchcock's suggestion should become part of the President's plan it would mean that the public would suffer in the loss of much educational material that the publishers then would be unable to buy."
