We admire courage In any nan, but this looks like recklessness The airship that stays up tu the air ten minutes and then drops with out warning Is as great a success as the average surgical operation. Whatever the result In November, tooie of the candidates will always remember the pleasure they derlvi d fron the official notification of their rorai nation. At present a good many politi cians are burying the hatchet, but ft Is doubtful If they will submit to being searched for razors or bowle knives. j It will be difficult for Minister Wu's enemies to prove their charge 4hat he talks to much, since none of the newspapers print his speeches ia full. The Colorado woman who married the man set upon her track by her former husband appears to have fcer own ideas of what constitutes unique revenge. With some show of surprise the Florida Times-Union announces that ""Mr. Taft has found his voice. Mr. Sryan lucky man has never yet mislaid his. A New Jersey man is refusing to Ty his bills because his wife Is out of work. That fact, however, may not deter him from contracting a few more debts. At the rate the Republican leaders are warming up to him, Got. Hughes vill find It neccessary to wear a tieavy overcoat during his campaign for a second term.

Academically there may be hon est differences of opinion about the efficacy of the death penalty. Prac tically good citizens would welcome a score or more of executions of re cent murderers. Chicago policemen are reported to be shooting dogs at the rate of 100 a da. The Innocent bystanders In that town must be an agile lot If they all escape perforation. Fortunately, the discovery of that college professor who claims women aave two souls does not make It accessary for men to furnish their wives with adouble wardrobe. There are many theories about that Atlantic City Boardwalk shoot ing, but It does not seem to have occurred to any one In authority to accept that of the persons most near Jy concerned. A number of New York girls have formed a club and resolved never to marry men who do not shave every XBornlng. But that's alright. The average man who Is In love will do anything asked of him till a month or two after marriage. It Is progress toward civilization. Indeed, In the far east when the Dtilnl I.uina, hend of the Buddhist faith, decides to travel in China by rail. When ho returns to Tibet he will probably buy an automobile, In the near future there may be a noticeable falling off In the output of break fust foods.

Courts may have to decide what Is a Caucasian. The case of Van der )lnyden of Altoona, son of a Dutch father and Japanese mother, born In Japan and seeking naturalization, presents many lntereMlng features. The courts alone can untie tho knots. lllsgen and Graves have been no tified of their nominations. This completes the ceremonials of that nature for this campalKn. And we may now expect lllsgen and Graves to do some running that fl) muke the earlier candidates In the field alt up and take notice. Before leaving Australia, Admiral Sperry In a speech acknowledged rratofully the most remarkablo wel come ever given the American navy. He aald It will never be forgotten. and that It "will surely mnko for the peace of the world." It was well said. It ts peace, not war, the fleot fs promoting.

"I must tell you my experience on an Runt bound O. It. $ N. K. K. train from Pendleton to La Grande, Ore., writes Sam A. Garber, a well known traveling man. "I was In Ike smok lug department with some other traveling men when one of them went out Into the coach and came back and said, 'There Is a woman Hick unto death In the car. I at once got up and went out, found her very III with cramp colic; her hands and arms were darwn up so you coulft not straighten them, and with a deathlike look on her face. Two or three ladles were working with her and giving her whin key. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel without It), ran to the water tank, put a double dose of the medicine In the glass, poured some water Into It and stirred It with a pencil; then I had quite a time to get the ladles to let me give It to her, but I succeeded. I could at once see the effect and I worked with her, rubbing her hands, and In twenty minutes I gave her an other dose. By this time we were almost Into La Grande, where I was to leave the train. I gave the bottle to the husband to be used In case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran Into La Grande she was alright, and I re ceived the thanks of every passen ger In the car."
