With the national election less than 30
days away, the campaign managers on
both sides are whooping things up on the
home.stretch. All in all, however, it has
been a remarkably quiet ond unenthusia
tic presidential campaign. The people
refuse to enthuse in spite of the strenous
work of Cortelyou and Taggart. Think
ing men say it means a tremendoussilent
vote and that voters will be swayed only
by their own sober judgement, Betting
odds are against the democrats, as is nat
ural. The republicans have been in pow
er many years, and they have the mighty
prestige of a perfect machine behind
them. They have the trusts with them and
Cortelyou seems to know how to wring
tre necessary funds out of then. But the
dem. crats are g.ining steadily, and it is
by no means a forelorn hope they lead.
The chances of the next house being dem: -
cratic are very good Atany rate, in a
little over three weeks we will know
whether it will be Roosevelt on Par
ker.
REPUBLICANLAWLESSNESS
In his speech at Cooper Union, New
York city, on Friday night former Secre
tary of State Richard Oluey, hit the Re
publican party a telling blow. He com
pared its disfegards for law to the lawless
ness of the lynchers. He called attentios
to the Republin party’s violations of treat- ‘
ies and international law, as in the case
of the wanton- war upon Columbia when
the most important part of her territory
was taken from her. to its act in setting 1
asftle a statute which requires the collect
ion of duty on foreign coal, to its deposit
ing the public money contrary to law for
the benefit of Wall street, toits act auth
orizing a service pension without the auth
arity of law and to other acts fully as in
defensible, The Republican leaders de
nounce lynching and point out that it
brings the good name and fame of our
country into disrepute, but-said M. Ol
‘ney, “11 those in authority allow them
selves to be law-breakers, is it strange that
‘ they should be imitated by those cver
‘whom they are set, and who have a right
to look to them for both example and
precept? Is it too much to ask the Repu,.-
lican leaders to remember that a mob
has as much right to be alaw unto itself as
a L resident of a cabinet officer of a con.
gress?’’
Mr. Roosevelt is learning how the law
ess acts of his administration are being
viewed by the people. Mr Olney’s view
of them is calculated to make a profound
impression. Itis difficult to se how the
President can condemn in his message to
Congress mob violence in the face of his
own lawlessness.in the pension order and
Panama matters. The more the people
know of Mr. Roosevelt the surer they
ought 10 be that he is not the kind of a
man to b- at the head of the government.
He isn’t a safe man.

Chestnuts As a Cure for the
Liquor Habits.
From the Philadeiphia record.
“There should be less drunkenness at
this season of the vear than at any other
time,'’ said a specialist in nervous disor
ders who has a private sanitorium for the
treatment of wealiny dipsomaniacs. *‘lt
is not generally known—in fact I claim
the honor of the discovery——that roasted
chestnuts are a good autidote for liguor.
The average man . ho drinks under high
nervous pressure, nt for the sake «f so
siability, but because the alcohol stimu
lates him to great effort, is the one whose
ervous s,stem is most quickly under
minedt Hemay n.ver get drunk, ut
there is the constant demand for overe
stimulation that worksdamage in the end,
No sooner does the effect of one dri. k
wear off than there is the craving for
another, Now, if that man would eat a
few roasted chestnuts instead of taking
another drink when the feeling comes on
him, he wou.d find that the substance of
the nuts, kaving quickly absorbed the
liciuor already in his system, had appre
ciably decreased his longing for more ai
cohoi’c stimulant. It isn’t a theory. 1
k;.ow it is to be true,”’
