Taft Showing His Hand.

TO A YOUNG NAN. It goes without Raving tbat you wish to raccead la whatever business yon re engaged. WellD yon know yon can easily pat yourself la the way of your success, become your own competitor, be your own enemy? Bow la that Why, yon become your own enemy when yon Indulge the habits that prevent your being at your best. Now Xou'r largest capital Is yourself a sound mind In a sound body. Tour brain, nerves, muscles, blood these are the means by which you get things done. So tbat whatever clonds your brain, shatters your nerves, weakens your muscles, vitiates your blood, depletes by so much your volume of working capital. Ton put yourself against you.

Whenever you give way to any sort of dissipation, any overindulgence that pats yon to bed Into and gets you up la the morning with a bad bead or Jangled nerves, yon lessen by tbat inch your chances. The joker says: "It whisky interferes with your business, give up your business." Aye! In very truth. If whisky or gambling or any other thing Interferes with yonr business give up your business and make the- whisky drinking, the gambling or what not your main business, because it Is only a question of time when you must cut out one or the other. Let your natural competitor In businessthe other fellow do the dissipating If be chooses. As for you, stick fast to your business in business hours. Outside of business hours get plenty of sleep, good air and regular meals. Let your competitor waste his time and health if he wills to do so. As for you You cannot afford it. If you care more for being successful. Independent a man among men. than you do for your appetite, do not be your own rival In business. Do sot bo your own handicap. Nobody but you can defeat you. Why fight against yourself?

SIR RICHARD CARTWRIQHT. Sir Richard Cartwright, minister of Trade and Commerce in the late Laurier ministry and for many years one of the leading statesman of Canada, was born in Kingston. Ont., December 14, 1835. His education was obtained at Trinity college, Dublin. Early in his career he was a Conservative and for several years he represented that party in Pariiment. In 1870 he abandoned the Conservative party and became a Liberal. Sir Richard was minister of finance from 1873 to 1878, and was chief financial critic and an outstanding figure in the Liberal ranks while in Opposition. He was acting premier and leader of the house of commons in 1897, and was a member of the Anglo-American Joint High Commission in 1898. Again iu 1907 he became acting premier during the absence of Sir Wilfrid Laurier while attending the Colonial conference in London.

Two important facts were emphasized at the meeting of the Republican national committee at Washington Tuesday: First, neither President Taft nor his friends have any hopes of his re-election. Second, the machinery of the Republican party's national organization is against any innovation that will give the people an opportunity to control the organization of that party. These two facts lead to but one conclusion: the Interests, Big Business, Predatory Wealth, or whatever other classification of those who are arrayed against popular government one wishes to use, have determined to give fight and have decided to use the Republican party, if possible, as their medium. There are many subsidary facts, many corollaries, but these are the high lights.

Every news-gathering association, even that one which is the most friendly to President Taft, the Associated Press, and that one which is bitterly against Roosevelt, the Hearst service, plus the trained Washington correspondents, agree upon the two facts enumerated. Taft is a defeated man at the polls, in event he is the Republican nominee, yet he and his friends controlled the national committee and defeated the one proposition that would have made it probable that the masses of the Republican party would dominate the next national convention and name a presidential candidate who would represent the masses and could carry the elecrlon. This proves more conclusively than anything which has yet occurred that the forces in control of the organization of the Republican party are against the masses, and that they would rather keep possession of the party machinery for future purposes and go down in defeat than to lose that control and witness the party win as the party "of the people, l for the people and by the people." It is a long journey from the Republican party or Abraham Lincoln to the Republican party of William Howard Taft! It's a far call from the Republican party that was called into existence to give flesh and blood to a high principle and represent a moral issue, to the Republican party that is held in the grip of men who would use it to exploit the people!

All the news-gathering associations announce the result of the deliberations of the Republican national committee as "a complete victory of the Taft program." One of the most aggressive opponents to the proposition to permit the people, who compose the rank and file of the Republican party, to choose their own national delegates and express their choice for president was the Ohio national committeeman, Arthur Vorys. It was openly announced that if a presidential primary were held in Ohio, Taft would lose the delegation from his own state. An effort was made to effect a compromise. This compromise would have given the states that have primary laws on the statute books the right to elect national delegates at a presidential primary, but in other states they might be selected by the old-time convention system. This is what Taft has claimed he favored. He has insisted that his opposition to the presidential primary has been due to his fear that defective primary laws would make such a procedure farcical, and, by indirection and implication that could not be misunderstood, he has made it appear that if virile primary laws were in effect in the states he would be willing to submit his candidacy to the people. But when the lest came upon this compromise, proposed as a last-ditch stand by Senator Borah, the Insurgent of Idaho, this was rejected by the administration forces.

OUR PLANETARY SYSTEM. ftaan From tha Nearest Fixed Star It Wauld Ba a Tiny 8peck. It is only when we regard our globe as a member of the planetary system, and that system in turn as a unit among the systems, that we realize how infinitesimal are its concerns and how relatively insignificant it is. We may for practical purposes treat the orbit of Neptune as the circumference of our planetary system and state the diameter of it therefore as about 5.4SG.O00.O0O miles. But if we could suppose all this vast plane converted into a solid disk instead of being, as now. for the most part empty space, and if to it were then given by some means or other a slightly luminous surface, it would appear to the observer upon the very nearest fixed star no more pretentious

A FAMOUS ARTIST, KNOWN HERE, DIES The St. John's, New Brunswick, Globe, prints the following account of the recent death of John C. Miles of that city, a famous painter and father of Mrs. William S. Hill of Spiceland, Ind.. formerly of this city: The death of John C. Miles occurred at his room. 1S2 Princess street, Saturday, Dec. 2, and will be heard with deep regret by a wide circle of friends both in the city and elsewhere. Mr. Miles, who was seventy-eight years old, had been in poor health for some time, but had been ill only for about a week. He is survived by one son, F. H. C. Miles, of this city; two daugh ters, Mrs. Elis, of Boston, and Mrs. W.

(National News Association) COLUMBUS, O., Deo. 14. The state pardon board at its meeting tomorrow is expected to consider and act upon an application for the parole of Charles L. Warriner, who was sentenced to six years in the peniten

tiary following his confession to hav- ! Many

ing misappropriated $643,000 of the funds of the Big Four railroad. Warriner was for many years local treasurer of the Big Four at Cincinnati. His arrest and trial, in which evidence was introduced to show that Warriner had given alleged "hush money" in large amounts to Mrs. eJannette Stewart Ford, attracted country-wide attention. With the usual allowance of time off for good behavior Warriner would complete his sentence in three years nine months and 18 days. He has now been in the penitentiary two years. During the whole of that time he has occupied one of the best clerical positions in the main ofice of the prison.

We may safely say, then, for those who concern themselves with the earth's loss of heat, that the annual thermal loss of our own little sphere, though sufficient to melt 777 cubic miles of ice. would, even though multiplied by centuries of centuries, no more affect the temperature of space than the striking of a match would avail to moderate the climate of Siberia. Harper's Weekly.

THE HUMAN SKULL

All of which confirms as a fact the suspicion that many have been reluctant to believe namely, that Taft himself is a reactionary; he is against all progressive policies; he does not believe in the people; he is in the heartiest accord with Big Business, and, as a logical and inevitable conclusion, his attitude upon the trust question, upon the tariff, upon "dollar diplomacy," upon the initiative and referendum and recall, upon conservation, upon railroad regulation, and upon every other issue is jiot obnoxious to Big Business. He is not a genial, well-meaning but misguided man. He Is the willing, knowing, active representative of Big Business and the Money Power, which, realizing. in advance his certain defeat, uses his power and the power of his administration to save to that power the machinery and organization of the Republican party, in the hope that through some temporary reaction or lulling of popular conscience, that power may regain complete control of the government, from which it has been all but routed by the people through the insurgent Republicans and the progressive Democrats. It is better, far better, for the good of popular government tlfat Taft has been made to show his hand. Indeed, it is better for Taft that he has discarded the need of further masquerading as the friend of the masses. He is to be commended because he has had the nerve to put aside all pretense and proved loyal to Big Business in helping it to keep control of the Republican party machinery even though he himself can not be the beneficiary of it. This action, in itself, disproves the damning defense of bis friends that he is spineless, but well-intentioned. He is neither. Indianapolis Sun.

Fracture Is Averted by Its Great Elasticity.

Fortunately the human skull, although composed of bones, is elastic, much more so than one would think. The average male adult skull, in fact, says the Scientific American, is so elastic that it may be compressed laterally in diameter by a blow or by pressure, applied at the center of area, at right angles to the surface at that point, by one and a half centimeters or about six-tenths of an inch, recovering its original diameter and form without breakage. The material of which our bones is made is so highly resistant that a cylindrical piece thereof only one square millimeter or 0.00155 square inch in area (i. e.. only 1.12S millimeter or O.044 Inch in diameter) has a tenslc strength of fifteen kilograms or thirtythree pounds avoirdupois, figuring out at about 21. "00 pounds per square inch. A similar sample of hard wood, tested in the same manner, held only ten kilograms that is. bone has 50 per cent more tensile strength than wood. A single bone fiber L; shown in the hygienic exhibition. Dresden, supporting a weight of five kilograms, or eleven poimds avoirdupois. REST AND HEALTH TO MOTHER AND CHILD.

An Innovation in Oil Heaters The Perfection Smokeless Oil Heater, with its drums enameled in turquoise, is an ornament to any room, whether in the country or city home. No home is quite complete without a Perfection Oil Heater. It is a necessity in the fall and spring, when it is too warm to start the regular heating apparatus, and too cool to be without heat. In the midst of winter it is often convenient as an auxiliary heater, as there are always some cold corners, in a house. The enameled heater always presents a nice appearance, at tfw enamel will not tarnish or burn off. It is not an "enamel paint,' bat ft is the same as the enamel of your cooking utensils. The Perfection is the most reliable and convenient portdbb beating device you can find. An automaticalry4ocking flame spreader prevent turning the wick high enough to smoke.
