Politics and Politicians
Progressives of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and the Dakotas are to join in a conference in St. Paul this month. The first annual convention of the Women's National Democratic league is to be held next week in Washington, D. C. Seven newspaper publishers will be
United States senate after March 4, next. William Flinn is arranging for a state convention of Pennsylvania Progressives to be held in Harrisburg some time this month. Governor Herbert S. Hadley, of Missouri, is expected to become a candidate for United States senator next year, to succeed William J. Stono. The National Democratic "League of Clubs is planning a campaign of club organization throughout the country
in preparation for the national cam -!
paign in 1016. Vice President-elect, Thomas It. Marshall, will cease to be governor of Indiana on January 13, on which date ahe will be succeeded by Samuel M. Ralston. Oscar B. Colquit, governor of Texas, is said to aspire to the seat in the
United States senate now held by Charles A. Culberson, whose term will j expire in 1917. j To elect by popular vote for a single term of five years every postmaster whose salary is more than $300 a year is proposed in a bill introduced by Senator Brlstow of Kansas. Frank S. Katzenbach, of Trenton, who was the Democratis candidate for governor of New Jersey in 1907, has decided to enter the race for the Democratic nomination again next fall. An interesting fact now generally known is that Virginia, New York and Ohio have held the Presidency of the United States more than half the time since the beginning of the government. " Among the candidates already in the field to succeed United States Senator Bradley, of Kentucky, are former Governor J. C. W. Beckham and Representatives A. O. Stanley and D. H. Smith. Gifford Pinchot, the former United States Forester who is generally regarded as the cause of the split between President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt, is said to aspire to the governorship of Pennsylvania. The Idaho legislature soon to assemble will be called upon to elect two United States senators, one for a long term to succeed William E. Borah and the other to fill out the unexpired term of the late Senator Heyburn. It is conceded that Senator Borah will be chosen to succeed himself, but a spirited contest is in sight for the short term senatorship. Encouraged by the results of the recent election in Kansas and several other States, the advocates of woman's suffrage propose to make the granting of ballot rights to the women a leading issue this winter in the legislatures of Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa, Montana and other middle and western states where the rights of equal franchise do not already prevail.

Located His Station. There was an absentminded bishop In western Ontario, who was constantly finding himself in awkward situations, on account of his extreme ab straction. On a certain occasion be as traveling from London in a northerly direction and found when the conductor approached him that he had forgotten where he was to go. The conductor suggested that he telegraph from the nest station and find out his destination. It was before the days of long distance telephones, and the bishop telegrapher to his wife from the first s'ntlon, ' Where was I going?" to tx answered at the following station. The answer came. "Exeter; be sure to get off there." The bishop then beamed t the anxious conductor and remarked placidly: "These little difiicu'tlcs always turn out satisfactorily." Argonaut-
There has been-considerable talk of a widow's pension bill being introduced at the coming session of the Indiana legislature. There are some Democratic leaders, the more, or less reactionary class, who favor such a measure as a sop to the popular demand for progressive legislation, and there are others who oppose the proposed bill on the grounds that the plan has not been proved entirely practical, and that there are more important steps to be taken in the inauguration of social improvement legislation. Those legislators who are inclined to oppose state pensioning of widows will receive much encouragement in the stand they have taken from C. C. Carstens, secretary of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, who has been making an exhaustive investigation of widows' pensions in Chicago, San Francisco, Kansas City and Milwaukee in behalf of the Russell Sage Foundation. Speaking of the Illinois widow's pension law Mr. Carstens points to the fact that while it has been on the statute books over a year and a half Chicago is the only community in the state which has taken advantage of it. One of the main purposes of a widow's pension law is its supposed effectiveness in keeping children out of institutions, but Mr. Carstens even denies its usefulness in this respect. "The population of Chicago institutions," he writes in his report, "was 125 greater for the six months ending June 30, 1912, than for the same six months in 1911, when there were no pensions." In summing up his conclusions regarding the widow's pension system Mr. Carstens writes: "The enthusiasm in favor of widows' pensions must not be underestimated or undervalued. It is born of a desire to see justice done, but justice is best done through the better protection of the living, so that there may be fewer widows with dependent children. Prevention of and adequate provision for industrial accident, for occupational and other preventable diseases, state-wide provisions. for the cure of curable disease, adequate segregation and kind care for all the unfortunates who must not propagate their kind these are the points in a social program that need most attention, in addition to the much neglected laws for the enforcement of legal responsibility the desertion, bastardy and stipport-by-relatives laws. Lump sums from the public treasury are too likely to become substitutes for all these better measures, upon which emphasis should be thrown."

The New Pa eels Post
The Philadelphia Times editorially champions the parcels post, just inaugurated, ?s a friend of the people, but warns ihe public to on its guard because "the enemies of the parcels post will be alert to find faults and eager to give them publicity." Postmaster Haas shows the Richmond public in a most comprehensive manner the benefits the parcels post holds in store in a statement concerning yesterday's parcels post business at the Richmond post office. "The parcels post business at the local po t office Thursday,"' statci Mr. Haas, "is a fair demonstration what the public will have under the new system. There were 144 parcels mailed, which totaled in weight 222 pounds. The postage for mailing these parcels amounted to $13.23. These same parcels under the oid rate would have cost $35.52 to post. This shows a saving to the public of $22.29, or a little note than -32 per cent." Referring to the general benefits of the new postal seiviee to the American people the editorial in the Times, ouoted from above, continues as follows: Today the people of the United States have a parcels post, which affords them ample and effectual competition to the express monopoly. II is a form of competition which is simple and cheap. Of course its enemies, largely the .express companies and their allied interests, will try to discredit it, embarrass it and break it down. The enemies of the parcels post will insist upon its accomplishing things it was never intended to accomplish. They will throw work upon it that wil1 tax it to the utmost. Only yesterday a man in Gary, Indiana, delivered 6000 bricks to be sent by parcels post. It would be unjut to accuse him of trying to break down the system, yet to put such an unusual and unfair a burden on it before it has scarcely become organized had just that result. The parcels post is a mammoth undertaking, under even the most favorable circumstances. The post office department has had but comparatively little time to prepare the countless details necessary for its inauguration. The work has been little short of herculean. It is very doubtful if any private corporation could have accomplished what ttf post office department has done since the law creatinug the parcels pes! was pissed. Naturally there are many things yet to be done, many details to supply. Many minor defects will manifest themselves fs the system begins to operate. Perhaps the law may have to be changed in some respects. All that remains to be determined by the test of actual experience. So long as the railroads have been in operation, and so efficient as they proclaim themselves to be, there yet remains many things to perfect in the railroad servite. So it is with every great public service. So it will be with the parcels post. But the main thing, the big thing, to be kept constantly in the foreground is that the parcels post is the people's chance of breaking the express monopoly. It is the beginning of the people going into the business of running their own business in so far as public transportation of goods is concerned. It is their experiment; it is their organization. It has been obtained in the face of years of fighting. It is a great victory. It is a great opportunity. The thing to be guarded against from now on is the prejudice of petty criticism; the magnifying of small defects into large ones; the exaggeration of a mistake into a failure. The enemies of the parcels post will be alert to find faults and eager to give them publicity. The attacks will be made directly and indirectly. The prejudice of the small merchant, the dissatisfaction of the unreasonable shipper, the delinquency of some minor official, the breakage of some package, the delay in the arrival of others a myriad of excuses will be pounced upon by the enmies of the parcels post to create a sentiment for its abandonment, a cutting off of the appropriations for its upkeep. Let the people be on their guard. Let them be patient and reasonable. It is their chance to show their ability to do their own business and run their own government.

Every winter I would be sure to have either Bronchitis, Pleurisy or Pneumonia. I had Typhoid-Pneumonia one time. I had catarrh of the stomach and bowels and had Hay Fever for the last few years, but have not anything of
