Governor Lowden has (pent more than $400,000 to date and has not 'secured the nomination. In fact, it is doubtful if hitf chances are any better than any one of 't several others. Nobody seems to know what haa been sunk In boosting General Wood. Even Senator Johnson, who 'is trying to capitalize "tbe so-called extravagance of his rivals, has disbursed $60,000, which probably represents Minora than the amount that a really frugal man '(might possibly save out of his salary in a 4 single term as president. i Four hundred thousand dollars seems a 4arge sum, but when it is spread over the United States it means only a few dollars in a "precinct certaUily not enough to corrupt the electorate. Even more might be used in a perfectly legitimate way. Special trains, hotel, suites, services of able managers and the elab-r- orate organizations, national and state, which ' are necessary to drive a campaign vigorously 'cat up the dollars at a surprising rate. ' t x Governor Lowden has financed his own campaign almost exclusively and the fact that he has been able to do so will be raised as a 5. (leading point against him. It is one, however, " which is not entitled to any great weight It t. takes a lot of money and a great deal of work to put a candidate's name before all the people - cf the country. The less the individual hlm- h felt expends, it may safely be said, the greater the obligations he creates and the more strings - there will be attached to him 'if he wins. The !fovernor at least has tbe merit of discharging , a larger proportion of his debts as he goes. Anyway, it is a question which is the more objectionable for an aspirant for the presi- dency, possessing the wealth necessary to fl , 'nance his own boom, or accepting extensive , ssh assistance from others. It may be laid f down as a rule that no man gives extensively 5 on , behalf of any candidate unless he has Something more tangible than a patriotic in I tarest in the outcome. Big contributions are :s not' blindly made. Those giving them usually rfceve somewhat definite ideas as to how 'they . ars to get the money back or else they expect to' acquire added Influence and prestige in keeping with the outlay. Running for president is not a poor man's asstime. The biggest barrel nearly always will get the beet organization and the best organ- ' uauon will have the best chance to win. The nan who has no money of bis own and nobody r,TUh wealth interested in bis candidacy might as well stay out And there are other objectionable features about a presidential primary.

' ' The Judicial Ave Limit As proposed ' in committee the minimum ag af tn embers of the Illinois supreme court will bo fixed in the new constitution at 35 years. Unless there is a provision exempting members now serving from its terms the rule will bar the reelection of Justice Floyd E. Thompson of Roek Island. Mr. Thompson will be but 34 at the time of the 'tegular election next year. 'He is now serving out the unex pired term of George A. Cooke, formerly of Aledo, and has made a record that certainly entitles him to again be a candidate. In fact the work of the Rook Island member stands as a pretty convincing argument against a 35 year age limit. Young' men on the bench generally have made good. ' Supreme court districts are not so large that people vote blindly for-candidates who commonly are judged on their qualifi cations and standing in the profession of law. Those Qualifications need not be matters of doubt in a judicial election, where aspirants usually get about and meet at least the lead ers in every township. Under the circum stances It would seem to be an unnecessary precaution -to bar any man able to get the nomination and election in an open field mere ly on the score of age. Of course the integrity of the bench should be preserved and its wisdom maintained, but the safeguards that are relied upon to keep in competents off of it after 38 should be -a suf ficient protection also in the case of those un der that age.

Peace by Resolution. The senate admits it is unable to make a full peace with the central powers on behalf of the United States. Its admission is written into its own peace resolution. After declaring peace with Germany, the senate does the same with Austro-Hungary, and then adds: "The president is hereby requested imme diately to open negotiations with the succes sor or successors of said government (Austro Hungary) for the purpose of establishing fully friendly relations and commercial intercourse between the United States and the govern ments and peoples of Austria' and Hungary." Was there ever a more naive confession of senatorial impotence? Of what use is a reso lution rescinding America's declaration of war, when the senate confesses it must appeal to the president "for the purpose of establish ing' fully friendly relations and commercial intercourse?" Why rescind a war declaration before establishing friendly relations, any way? The senate's resolution establishes neither peace nor an armistice. It does no more than attack the president of the United States before the enemy. And yet, the senate acknowledges the superior peace-making right of the presi dent in its very attack. Why, therefore, ail this bother? The president's duty is to -veto the' resolution. "AMONG his own people," reads an edito rial in the Galesburg Republican-Register, re ferring to the late lamented Frans Josef, there seemed to be a re&sonaoie amount or loyalty."

Why do the tad healers not say that it isn't diet, massage, sur gery, fresn air, resi. exercise, elec tricity, cheerful thoughts or any thing like that, but Just nature, that cures? Would It not be quite as true? Who is this fellow nature, any way? He is the prince of healers. That is only too apparent, every body Jtives him unstinted credit. Also he is the prince of charla tans. . . I am as grateful to nature as any other healer or near-healer. Well do I know tnu "no numan power can create life or control the inevitable. Yet I am unwilling to entrust myself wholly to nature as a healer when I am sick, and doubt very much whether any of the plausible gentlemen who shriek so loudly of nature's healing ability would be willing to rely upon the old fellow in a serious pinch. No, I know they do not they call in a doctor. One of the most vociferous and widely known exponents of one of the most ridiculous "schools" of non-drug healing sneaked around to my office and insisted that I prescribe some drugs when he feared he was really in for a ser ious illness all on the q. t., of course. The same thing happens every day to doctors everywhere: Nature will heal a broken bone, but with no regard for future use fulness or the appearance of the limb. Intelligent aid or restraint gives a fairly useful and fairly presentable limb. Your physician gives the intelligent aid. Nature will heal the croup, does heal it in practiCally 100 per cent of cases. But at the cost of con siderable unnecessary distress for child and parents, and the doctor ends this distress by administering such an unnatural thing as an emetic to relax the muscle spasm which cruel nature has produced in the throat as a result of some trifling irritation. Nature heals ulcers in the bowel, as in typhoid fever, but it is not in the least con cerned whether in the healing pro cess the bowel is completely per forated and the patient killed un less intelligence steps in and by The United States is about to build the largest battleship. 1,000' feet long, of 60.000 tons displacement, and costing $50,000,000.

I have an enormous appetite, yet I am thin. I think I must have tapeworm. Answer Help, help! This query in more or less similar English comes from some reader some where at least daily throughout the year. One can't Jtell whether he has a tapeworm. His doctor can tell by finding tapeworm eggs ty microscopic tests (or a laboratory pathologist can tell that way). The combination of a big appetite and a snare frame, sad as it may seem to the old ladies and the long-distance specialists, seldom if ever oc curs in an individual who really harbors a tapeworm. All the tape worm hosts I can recall offhand were persons of ordinary appetite and ordinary or excessive weight. I repeat, there are no symptoms which warrant a diagnosis of worm infection, save the finding of parts of worms or entire worms or their eggs. - Wry Women Stay Soft and Tonne.

James Abram Garfield was the latest, it is fairly safe to say, the last of the presidents born and bred in log cabins. Notwithstand ing that humble start, te was one of the half dozen scholarly men who have sat in the presidential chair. Both the paternal Garflelds and the maternal Ballous, the forebears of this Ohio president, were New Englanders and among the best types of Yankee yeomanry. His struggling, laborious youth and young manhood made Garfield also a representative of that greater New England which spread itself over the upper half cf the middle west. When the boy was only 2, his pio neer father died fighting a forest fire, leaving "four young sapplings," as he called them, to the care of his wife, who had to carry on the sured him a keen thirst at the 4, and when at last he arrived at HU. liams college back in his ancesttil Massachusetts, a big, blonde, bearded man of 3, he was read; to drink dry the fountain of lean ing He used to say that hit Wel of a university was a pine log, witi Mark Hopkins, the president ot Wiiliams, sitting on one end of it and himself at tbe other end. -If he had stayed in New EngUr.4, Garfield would have been a prof sor or a preacher.
