Muck is absolutely correct iu his opinion that what the IVmocratic party needs ie to find more princip'es upon which all Democrats can agree. Had it : been able to do that but year Mr. Taft might not now be in the White House and tlie turiff grecs might be conducted by Democrats. Mr. Mack might have substi tuted "some priucipes'' for "more principles'' and not gone further from the mark, tor there is hard ly a single political question of the magnitude of a national one on which the whole party is a- greed. Not ouly nre the rank and file divided on almost if not en tirely every political question, but the leaders of the party, the men who have been chosen to represent and stand for the mass es in the legislative halls of the nation aud in the councils of the party are as hopelessly divided on the same questions. ,The all importaut subject of thought and discussion now is the tariff, and look how the par. ty stands on that hardlya pro posed schedule in the House or the Senate bill on which there is even approximate unanimity of views among Democratic mem bers of either body. One example will give a fair illustration of this division of sentiment, the iron ore schedule. The Wash'ng ton Post gives the situation thus: "The duty on iron ore for the triict only, was kept in the Sen ate bill by the votes of eighteen Democratic Senators, through a Republican House, presided oyer by Joseph G. Cannon and led by Sereno O. Payne and John Dal zel, had put iron ore on the free list." There is a lack of unitd among the Republicans also on many questions regnrding the tariff; but they are not as hopelessly divided as are" the Democrats and they can be counted on 'get ting together' when it comes to the point of standing by their party or aiding its opponent. The Washington Post further de scribes the situation in Congress on the tariff question in this man ner: We heard a great deal a year or so ago to the effect that The odore Roosevelt stole his polities from William J. Bryan. That sort of stealing seems to be cat ching. Democrats in the Senate have appropriated Pig Iron Kel ly's politics, and Republicans of that body have caught with 'Old Bill' Morrison's goods in their possesion. We see the spectacle of insurgent Republicans deman ding free lumber, stand pat Re publicans support $1 a thous and duty on lumber for protec tion" and bourbon Democrats clamor for $ 2 a thousand duty on lumber "lor revenue only." Vtas there ever such a kettle of fish?" -With these and manyotherex amples of division in the Demo cratic ranks which might be poin ted out, one is forced to confess that Mr. Mack is right iu his views as to the chief need of the Democratic party.

Paid one of the men: '! have n little prop- ei ty interest in that district. and although I do not live in it and ido not know a dozen children on sight who go to school in t h a t district, yet 1 wish I could vote for the special tax.' The other man said: "That is an unselfish view to take of the matter. There are sume men liv ing right in that district who are so selfish that thy ore doing ev erything possible against the special tax levy." The non-resident who express- ed a willingness for his property 1 80 be taxed for school purposes, ; said in reply to that: "Now let me be understood. I am not po- sing as a pmianthropist, nor.er aim nnppier 10 say notning .. ' putting myself up as a model ofjof fewer graves in the burying unselfishness. I am for that school grounds and cemeteries at the tax, not that I love to be taxed, !pnd of the year Here nrethe sev but because I believe that t h e en rules: selling value of my property will b increased more than the in- creased eaxes on it will amount to. I am 6elfish about the mat- ter." When vou come down to t h truth of the matter the unselfish j o not eat enough fruit, vegeta spirit does not reside altogether I ties, butter and milk. There is in the advocates of special school j no excuse for any farmer not tax. We are all selfish every mo- j having enough of these nourish ther's son of us. The fellow who health giving foods, and wants thesneni.il tnv for nehnnls has no right whatever to be con tinually hurling at the man who is opposed to the special tax, "you are selfish." In all proba bility the man who is advoca ting the tax knows, or at least, fully believes, that the establish ment of a good school in the com munity will enhance the value of his property many times more than the tax will amount to; that the erection of a handsome school house just up or down the road from his place will greatly improve the outlook from his home; that it will make the com munity better in every way and if he wants to stay on there it is a better place to live and if he wants to sell out and move a way he can get a great deal more lor his place than he could be fore the tax was levied to build the school house and maintain the school. Selfish, of course he is. The man who opposes the levy of a special tax for schools sees things in a different light and thinks that Ihe increase in yalue of property will not warrant the outlay and therefore he votes a gainst the levy of any more tax. Selfish, of course he is. Here and there is a man who shells out and gives money for educational purposes purely as a matter of philanthropy, but all this establithment of special tax purely economic, a cold-blooded business matter, if you please; and if you care to know how the Enquirer folks stand on the spe cial school tax question we will state that if we had prop?rty in every district in the county and we were allowed to vote in each district we would cast a vote in every one of them for the special tax. And we would not cast those yotes in the name of philanthro py. In fact the 'broad minded,' the 'unselfish, the 'philanthrop ic' racket has been somewhat o verworked in this special school tax matter. The fellow who is for the tax and is the possessor of property and has no children to school, is, in almost every ins tance, in favor of it for the rea son that it will benefit him in a business way. The fellow who has a house full of children and is for the special tax, of course he can not well pose as an advocate of increased school tax simply on the ground that he is a well wish er to the community e good. STe Rain r Health: How to Lira One Tblr4 Lone ?r. Projjrwidve Farmer. All America is waking up to the importance of better health conditions, and S'ate aud Na tional Governments are taking deeper interest in the subject than ever before. Regardless of what State or Nation may do, j however, every individual by fol- lowing a few simple rules of hy giene for himself may greatly in crease the length and the happi ness of his own life. Seven such you..,; and old, men and women, would be immeasurably increas ed, doctors' bills reduced, and the rules we give herewith, and if they should be lollowed this season by the 68,000 farm fami- es who will read these lines, the health and efficiency 01 general tone of life made notably bright- Jt. - . j 1. Have a properly planned ind properly cooked diet. Make a study of this question and have your wife make a study of it. We eat too much meat and too much hot, pasty food. We with them one can set a table fit for a king. 2. Chew vonr food th ree times a long as you have been doing. The Fletcher principle, "Chew your food till it becomes liquid and practically swallows itself," is the only correct guide. Mr I'letcner guarantees tnac nis method will increase the average man's working efficiency 25 per cent, in six months. 3. Don't overeat. Proper chew ing, howpver, will practically pre vent this also. Chew your food thoroughly and your sense of taste will be satisfied before you eat too much. It is wheu you bolt your food down that you overeat. 4. Breathe nothing but pure air. Let it into jour sleeping room, no matter how cold the weather. The dread of 'night air is absurd, If fresh air were only to be had for a price, thousands ol poor people would be begging money to buy it, while as it is, they shut it out on every provo cation. Stuffy parlors and sitting rooms and sleeping rooms with all the windows down breed head aches and consumption. 5. Drink twice as much water as you have been drinking. The average person only drinks half enough. Drink two glasses when you get up mornings, and as you cun at other times. Prefer ably not at meals, however, or for an hour before or after (i. Stop dosing an 1 drugging yourself; never take a patent medicine. If you are not well, by all means avoid putting yonr health and your life in the hands of men you know nothing about, and who know nothing about your ailment. Nine tunes out of ten a drug taken into your sys tem when not needed acts as a virtual poison, ami unless the physician knows the exact na ture of your ailment, the chanc es are that it is not needed. 7. Let all intoxicants alone. man who begins drinking is sure devote his whole time to the pro that he can keep from drinking1 jct His purpose is to conyass immoderately; while the latest medical researches have proved that even the most moderate drinking injures ones nervous and mental powers, lessons one's abil ity to resist disease and also aids in developing any latent dis easa or weakness. Surgeon-Geuer : al Wyniau, in his recent address on Southern health conditions, '801' Jed u special note of warn- ing concerning the injurious cf-f (ci ts of alchohlic drinks in warm j climates. Ot course thcrenreotherthinga not to be neglected frequent; buthiug in a room as warm as' warm as the body (a bath room just big enough to turn round in and quickly heated by an oil stove will do the work) eight hours sleep and a good supply of water uncontaminated by filth or disease but these 6even rules nre the things most needed by e average man. They will add years to your lite and life to vour years. Try them. A Thrilling Rescue, How Bert R. Lean, of Cheny, Wash., was saved from a frightful death is a story to thrill the world. "A hard cold" he writes, ' brought on a desperate lung trouble that baffled an expert doctor here. Then I paid f 10 to $15 a visit to a lung specialist in Spokane who did not help me. Then 1 went to Cabfonia, but without benefit. At last I used Dr. King's New Discovery, which completely cured me and now I am is -veil as ever." For lung trouble bronchitis, coughs and colds, asth ma, croup and whooping cough it's supreme. 50c and fi.oo. Trial hot. ties free. Guaranteed by all drug. Grists. Kobr EiHbinl NoUsol. News and Obtervor. Milwaukee is the place f o r strange things. Wh have all been familiar with the case of innu merable vive9 who have sought, for divorce because of drunken husbands Now comes a wife, one Carolina LiepalofT, ot Milwaukee, who asks for a divorcbe ecause of her husband's unbending so briety. She 6ays that for many years they lived happily togeth er, though her husband often came home in an intoxicated condition, but two years ago there came an entire change in the habits and conduct of hot husband. He no longer gets in toxicated and will not even take a single drink of liquor In their home, and this change in his con dition has "caused the destruc tion of her married happiness, caused her great mental worry and anxiety and sadly affected her health" and therefore she prayed for divorce. In this application the wife does not state why her husband reformed, il it be reform, or where in his sobriety causes her discom fort, unless in the former times they were in the habit of drink ing and getting drunk together, and she misses the convivial companionship to which she thinks every wi e is entitled. If she gets a divorce a strange pr c eilent will be set. A Home For Siipsraniiatrd Ti earners. Rev. W. M. Rngby, presiding elder of M t. Airy district, M. E Chuich, South, has interested himself in apian to proyide homes for superannuated Metho dist ministers who have been un able, by reason of serving weak charges with small salaries to make provision for the future. It is stated that i f the North Carolina Annual Conferem-e which meets this fall, approves Mr. Bairbv's idea, he will retire from active ministerial work aud this and other Conferences for funds aud whenever pract icable, establish and furnish homes for aged and infirm ministers who have retired from the work.
