Sunday, the noted evangelist, who is familiarly known as "Billy" Sunday, was born In Ames, Iowa, Nov. 19, 1863. After graduating from the high school in Nevada, Iowa, he attended Northwestern University. While a student at the university he developed a strong liking for athletics. His ability as a baseball player on the college team attracted attention and he was Induced to become a professional player. For seven years he was a member of the Chicago, Pittsburg or Philadelphia clubs in the National league and was one of the best known players in the entire country. When he quit baseball in 1890 it was to become secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Chicago. This position he held for several years and then embarked on hit career as evangelist. His vigorous appeals and his oftentimes sensational utterances attracted immense audiences and In recent years he is credited with having received about 100,000 conversions. In 1903 Mr. Sunday was ordained a Presbyterian minister. 0EAD RECKONING. On Way of Determining a Vassal's Course en an Oeaan Voyage. Dead reckoning simply means the computation of a ship's longitude and latitude from her movements as recorded in the log and without having recourse to astronomical observations. The chief elements from which the reckoning Is mads are these: The point of departure that is, the latitude and longitude sailed from or last determined the course or direction sailed In as ascertained by the compass, the rate of sailing, measured from time to time by the log, and the : time elapsed. The various principles or methods followed in arriving at the reckoning are known among navigators as "plain sailing" and "middle latitude sailing-." However, the data thus obtained are always liable to considerable errors by reason of currents, leeway, fluctuations of the wind and changes in the declination of the compass. The results arrived at by dead reckoning, therefor, must of necessity be corrected as often as possible by observation of the heavenly bodies. No navigator would riak relying wholly on this method of determining his position on an ocean voyage. New York Times. Pointing the Point. "I think," remarked Biggs, "one of ! the funniest signs 1 ever saw was ; this: Teeth Extracted While You ; Waif" Hlggs laughed long and loudly at ; this, and shortly afterward he tried It on Jlggs. "A friend of mine." he said, "told ,' me of a funny sign he bad seen Teeth Extracted While You Walt.' " Jlggs reflected, i "What Is there funny about thatr he asked. "I don't quite catch the j point" ; "Can't you see? The man who put i up that sign used five words when one would have been enough. The word ' dentlsf covers the whole round. Every dentist Is supposed to pull teeth. Isn't her Oh, yes; 1 see. Da, ha. ha J" New York Mall. Arm In Arm With a Tigress. It Is related of Sir Edward Bradford that be once walked arm In arm, so to speak, with a tigress. He was out shooting and. always a fearless sportsman, had come to close quarters with his quarry. He fired, and either the ball failed to take effect or but slightly wounded the animal She sprang at him and seised his left arm above the elbow. The pain must have been terrible, but Sir Edward kept cool, and, realising that it would be death to drag bis mangled arm away and allow her to spring afresh at him. be deliberately walked a few agonlxing pceea until his comrade was sble to take aim and kill the brute. Thus his courage saved his life, though the amputation of bis srm st the shoulder proved necessary. The real estate owned by the Astors In New York is valued at $150,000,000.

"This Is Not A Monarchy" "This is not a monarchy. It is a republic." The La Grange Standard. In 1912 there will be a presidential election. This is not news to any American citizen. But it will be news to many everyday citizens that If they lived in some of the states of the Union they would have the privilege next spring of voting at their party primaries for their choice as nominee for president. Up to this time the Republicans of Indiana have thought it very important to name their candidates by a vote of the party members with the exception of the moat Important their state officers, senators and their president. Have we come to the conclusion that a candidate for sheriff is more important in the Republican party than our president? Or is it that the rank and file are not to be trusted with such important work?
Important work these state conventions do! At the last convention of the Republican and the Democratic parties the trading of votes and the scramble of bosslets to maintain their power was sickening. It was no worse than it had ever been before. The judges all came at the end of the voting and those who were luckiest in their tradeB were nominated. Control of two or three solid delegations with which to swap off votes all along the line from state superintendent to promises of oil inspector, had more to do with who was to be judge than all the sentiments of the people or what was good for the party put together. We believe in a party primary for every office which appears on the ticket. And we are by no means the only newspaper in Indiana that indorses this procedure. The reasons are so obvious that they are scarcely necessary. 1. The cutting away of the foundation of boss rule by taking away the main power of a boss to traffic in offices. 2. The assurance to the party of candidates that at least a majority of the members are for.
As an example of the latter the La Grange Standard has made an interesting comparison of present day conditions with those of previous presidential elections which is so sane and fair from a strictly partisan viewpoint that it is worthy of reproduction: There never was a better president than Harrison. He was a man ' of great ability and strict Integrity. He was a gallant soldier and true and loyal American. He should have been re-elected if any president ever deserved the honor. But nevertheless many Republicans did not desire his renomination. It was openly stated by many Republicans that he could not be re-elected, and it was defying fate to renominate him. At that time the tradition of renominating a president held the party leaders in chains. If Harrison asked to be renominated they must do it, regardless of their own opinions. They shut their eyes and went ahead, obedient in tradition. Many delegates at the 1892 conventions were aching to nominate McKinley, but McKinley, true to the honor of the politics of his day, sternly challenged a delegate who cast a vote for him on the floor of the convention. Harrison was renominated. Party honor was vindicated. Instructions were followed and pledges kept. The result is well remembered. The Republican party suffered an awful defeat. Is the time never coming when men can be free to support and praise an administration without meaning that the president must be renominated? The election of a president to asecond term has never, in the history of America, done the president or his party any good. The renomination of a good president to a second term has frequently doomed his party to defeat. Why cannot we get out of this rut of disaster and ask our presidents to be content with one term? Of course, it could have been said, in the case of Harrison, that It was better to nominate him and be defeated by the Democrats than allow the Republican insurgents to defeat him for renomination. But isn't that too much responsibility for party leaders to take. The true rule must be that we should all freely and frankly discuss proposed candidates and select the candidate most likely to win the party a victory. It is the party to which we must be loyal, not any individual, however good and lovable he may be. This is not a monarchy. It is a republic, Lagrange Standard.
The South Bend Tribune has these very appropriate words of counsel: In Indiana there will be no session of the legislature. In the majority of states there will likewise be no sessions. In all such states it is too late to secure laws in behalf of the presfdential primary. Preferences can nevertheless be expressed in all of these states if the dominant parties but so will this by following the plan of the chairman of the Progressive Republican campaign committee. A party organization can adopt the system as a party rule. This procedure is not as formal or binding as by legislative enactment, but it would prove sufficient. It is Bomewhat similar to that followed in Indiana in the last campaign when senatorial preferences were determined in the state conventions. That procedure was, of course,, far from a senatorial primary, but it was better than nothing. The Republican state convention declared for former Senator Beveridge and the Democratic convention, because of Gov. Marshall's insistence, declared for Senator Kern. The governor had to fight the politicians in that convention, but he won, and he had the people, regardless of party, back of him. If the governor were to take a similar stand in behalf of the presidential primary, insisting that the Democratic organization of the state adopt the 6ystem, he would not only again strike a popular chord but he might score another victory. If Gov. Marshall were to follow such a course and prove successful the Republican organization would be likely to also declare in favor of the plan. Thus Indiana might take rank asone of the states in favor of presidential preferences. It is significant in this connection that the plan has been adopted by the Democrats of Texas, due to the efforts of Senator Culbertson. So much for the opportunity which rests with political leaders in states like Indiana. The presidential primary scheme which may be adopted as a party rule can be brought about in two ways, either by a governor or a senator or some other leader taking the initiative, or through the crystalization of public sentiment. If popular opinion in Indiana is sufficiently aroused, parties will be practically compelled to take definite action. South Bend Tribu. e.
No man of any party, Democrat, Republican, Standpat, or Progresive, can object to a thing so obviously fair if he believes that the system of majorities on which we are supposed to have built our government is correct. A big step toward real representative government would be representative candidates candidates that at least were satisfactory to a majority of the voters of the party at the primaries. Otherwise candidates may be hoisted into office by a small clique of bosses with the people with a choice between two evils. Just at present the system is more like that by which a Roman emperor took office than the Republican democracy that we talk about every 4th of July.
