The interest naturally centers, as to most candidates,
in those of the Republican party,' because that party is
largely m the majority here and it is expected that it is
men of that party who for the most part will be elected;

well that it ia so. Voters are constantly becoming more

THE PATHFINDERS OF

By Rev. Thomas) B. Oraory. -,-

laU aad physician of the flrt lr f
the nineteenth century. .
Somewhat vaaue and unsatisfactory
referenoea to aneathetle aaenta are -to be
found In Homer, Herodotus, Pliny and
- eoroe ancient authors, but tt may be
t said that, as a, rule, surgical operations
prior to tha seoond quarter of the nine
teenth century had to be performed
without anything to alleviate the pa
tient' a suffering while under the knife.
, Surgery is practically as old as hu-
manlty Itself, and from tha time when
humanity began, straight on down to
' the quite modern time Just designated.
, human beings had to endure the pain of
'. the cutting and sawing without any
thing to deaden their consciousness and
" mitigate tbelr palna.
The" honor of introducing anesthesia
to the world fairly belongs, in my opin
ion, to Sir Humphry Pavy, one of ths
handsomest men and finest characters
In the Europe af his dar.
.z. In 'the year 1800. Davy, while ex
. perlmentlng with nitrous oxide gas, dis
covered Its anesthetic properties, and
described tha effect it had on himself
when Inhaled with the view of relieving
... v local, pain ' .-. . ' 1. .1
- Ia the following ominous wores tne
great chemist suggested Its employment
In surgery: "As nitrous oxide seems
capable of destroying physical pain, it
-nay possibly be need te advent; in
surgical operations in which no great
effusion of blood takes place."
There was the Idea, clear as crystal!
There was the suggestion, direct and to
the point, which sooner- or later the
world was sure to heedf ..
" For nearly half a century nobody paid
the least attention to Davy's idea: but
It was an Idea, a reaJlOea, and It
could afford to wait ... C-
In ISIS Michael Faraday showed that
tha Inhalation of sulphurlo ether pro
duced . aneetbetlo . effects similar to
those Of nitrous oxide gaa, and between
J lit and 1(14 this property of ether waS
demonstrated by several American phy

the opportunity is offered to change aa
unhealthy environment you stand in the
way because others do not think aa you
do. If the premise were sound it would
be proper to recall the ballot from all
humanity, because the people have- not
used it a you think they should. Nothy
ing Is eternally right or wrong, and the
laws which are In existence are right
until the people determine they are not

law enacted almply makes wrong the
one which preceded It and will be right
until supplanted by another. . And whsn
I say people change them, I consider
women people. - -
Every political Issue Is the reflex of
an economic question. Feudalism gave
way and kings were grudgingly forced
to grant what they called the privilege
of the ballot Privilege la a misnomer.
Privilege i a gift and the ballot haa

knitting and the washing have been
transfsrred to the factory from the

placed on an equal - footing with . men,

these women, sacrificing on the altar
of opportunity. But few there are who
will stand up for what la unpopular and
