A Kansas City ‘ hello gill”’ has inheri ted a fortune and can say “busy now” without any danger of making the man at the other end of the line .se perfumed language. : If Mr. Certelyou is not getting the coin as fast as the committee thinks should, why not send those other two pro inent and well known republicans, . ige Dowie and Frank James, afterii? They know how to raise the wind. e s 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. : eot o R s e e 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,”’ et B i GEORGIA—Lee County.
