Smith “ would not, by initiation, seek any office in the gift of the people,” a ootomporary com ments as follows: “Thus it is that the law of primary election and nomination virtually rules out' a large class of sensitive and most worthy citizens who are unwilling to appear in the role and character of office seekers. The intent, or real basis of this law, is the expec tation that the citizen will announce himself a candidate, and then get ont before the voters and ‘scrap’ with rival candidates for the nomi nation. There are many whom it will not suit to do this. They might accept an office, but will not scrap for one.” The disposition of the intelligent classes appears to be to give this law a deoent show, to demonstrate whether it has any merit beyond overworking county officials and heaping unnecessary expenses upon taxpayers. Everyone is ooovinoed of the necessity of trying ont the hoodo, giving the theorists who brought it into being opportunity to prove its practicability.

Consumption <J There is no specific for consumption. Fresh air, ex ercise, nourishing food and Scott’s Emulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Mil lions of people throughout the world are living ana in good health on one lung <] From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consum ption. O f course the patient could not take it m its old form, hence it did very little good. They CJUt take S C O T T ’S E M U L S IO N and tolerate it for a long time. There is no o il not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott’s Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where its use must be continuous. <1 W e w ill te n d sample free.

Wheat, * Bye, Oats, and The fir s t Seeding Dene by Adam, Wheat, barley ,corn and buck wheat cannot, and will not grow wild. Oth er vegetables may live, but these will not. Now comes the practical ques tion: “ Where did wheat, barley »corn and ryb come from? Who first plant ed them!” There is only one logical deduction,and that it: God sent them I here to keep us out of mischief. After Adam had sinned he was led out of Paradise, and then God said to him: “Stretch forth thy hand,” and he I stretched it forth, and then into the palm of that hand God put his treas ures, just a few grains of wheat and barley, and rye, and oats, and then God pointed to these seeds and to the ground, and delivered his judgment. “Now go, and dig and plant,” and the human race has been at farming ever since. And for 6,000 years man has had to fight for his daily bread, and the groans which have gone up from famine-struck Russia, India, Ireland^ etc., were merely because the wheat crop faded.

There never breathed a more de termined fighter for honeety and deoency in politics and a fair deal for the people than Mayor Mark Fagan of Jersey city, who was elect ed for his third term last fall in the teeth of both machines, and with his hand openly turned against the bosses, who had been trying to pur chase him for three years. Linooln Steffens, in the January McClure’s, tells -She strange story of Mark Fagan. How, a poor boy, with little or no education, he grew into an honest man, and finally into that very unusual phenomenon, an honest politician. This story from Mr Steffens to more dramatie than fiction, and to full of mystery. Fagan to a man of moderate ability, and yet be did his work with un usual persistence and sanity.
