while they were chasing the shadow

Where were the millions of "conser

Is anything? Oh, merciful father,
where would the reorganizers have

The I-tpld-you-so man Is ubiquitous
today, and his pet phrase is exceeding
ly trite, but it might not be inappro
priate to recall that the Press-Post
strongly advised the national conven
tion against the course it was bent on
following, and it is certainly not in
appropriate to recall Mr. Bryan's ante-,
convention prophetic vision that Par
ker's nomination would be followed by
a most overwhelming democratic de
feat. The great &sson to be learned from
the election is that while a convention
may be bought, paid for, and delivered,
it is not so with the greatmass of the
people.
A great many people are no doubt
already wondering what to do. There
is nothing that can bo done for the
present. It is all over. We have elected
a good man president of the United
States. We have elected a man who is
a great deal better than the politicians
and the trust interests who are try
ing to control him. He haa received an
overwhelming popular approval. The
restraint of carrying out the polices of
McKinley has been removed. No man
can say what he will do. He can not
himself know what he will do. In the
main, he will be controlled by circum
stances. Each day he must be active
and do the best that is in him. That
is all we can ask. Our attitude must
not be partisan. He is our president.
When he is acting in accordance with
the laws and tho constitution, we
should hold up his hands. If other
wise, it is not only our right, but our
duty to criticise him. In the mean
time, let us bid him Godspeed.Colum

up in arms against smallpox, commu
nities go into panic over its presence,
and it is popularly regarded as the pest
of all pests, while until the last few
years pneumonia has' been viewed with
more or less indifference by all save
the medical fraternity.
This is the proper season for a study
of the disease, as it begins its rav
ages with the beginning of winter. It
is also the right time to take warning,
but not to take fright. Pneumonia is
a preventable disease to the extent that
the chances of contracting it are re
duced in proportion to the care taken
to keep the system in good tone and,
so far as possible, avoid exposure to

Science vs Pneumonia.
Of every 100,000 persons who die in
this country, over 10,000 are claimed
by pneumonia. Consumption has been
called "tho great white plague," and
is dreaded above all other diseases, but
tho close race made by its sister
scourge is startling.
The latest reliable statistics for the
country as a whole are those of the
census of 1900, and in the year closing
with the beginning qf the census
count, there had been 105,971 deaths
from pneumonia, while consumption
had scored only 6,000 more, or 111,053.
Is it strange, then, or in the least
surprising, that physicians and san
itarians are sounding a note of alarm
and ceasing to regard tuberculosis as
the one great enemy to be met and
battled with?
The disease Js such an insidious foe
to the race and does its work so quick
ly that it has not been as successfully
studied as some others that are less
deadly. The medical profession is ful
ly aroused, however, and will prose
cute a vigorous campaign th'is winter.'

a hundred stenographers of steel wrist

epistles as they clicked from a hun
dred swift writing machines; not even
if he had tho dread facility of expres

to keep up with the correspondence
that is likely to follow the announce
ment of the president's intention to
send forth a note of reply to each per
son who has written to him. Those
who cavil at Mr. Roosevelt's strenuos
ity and impetuosity may find them
selves justified in this instance. Bach

Overwhelming Victory
The result of foie election yesterday
In the "111011 is such as to be pro
nounced an overwhelming victory for
Roosevelt and the republican party.
While it may be unique to say it, the
fact remains that democrats could not
but feel that such a result was inevi
table. At least tho great majority in
tho west held this view. The hour is
too early to make a careful study and
draw deductions frcm the election re
turns, but one thing is sure, and that
is that the eastern democrats must
have awakened to the fact that there
is more to this country than the few
states that, border along the Atlantic
seaboard, and that no party can be a
national party which does not take
