Inside Out.
Dr. C. H. Benton of Chester, \V. Va..
says that drunkenness is the result of
auto-ir toxieation?that man's wretchedly
cooked food, fermenting in his
stomach, brings on a very painful autointoxication
wherein the sufferer turns
for relief to alcohol.
It was at the American Medical assertion's
convention in Chicago that
ti- Uontnn marlo thi? nnvol sfatpmpnt
and at one of the association's dinners
he said afterward:
To escape the tortures of auto-inloxic&tion
men should marry women of
intelligence. Then their food would be
properly looked after, and with healthy
stomachs they would shun drunkenness
as one shuns smallpox or any other
hateful affliction.
"But men worship beauty. They
marry for beauty. When a man marries
a woman for her mind he is deemed
eccentric, even foolish.
"A Chester lawyer married a young
woman of exquisite mind?a thin, bigheaded
girl in spectacles. He would
never suffer from auto-intoxication, no
doubt of that. A friend from the east
was introduced to the lady one night
and later on the bridegroom said to
him:
" 'George, what do you think of her?'
"George puffed thoughtfully on his
cigar.
" 'Well, he said, 'to tell you the truth,
she isn't much to look at, is she?"
"The husband's face fell.
" 'Ah, but,' he said eagerly, 'what a
mind she has. Externally, perhaps,
she isn't all that could be desired, but
within?ah! George, she has a beautiful
mind."
"George smiled.
" 'Then have her turned," he said,"?

The Dou's Tail.?A prominent citizen

The attorney for the defense had
been consulting a dog expert and had
learned that if a dog holds his tail up
over his back when he barks he is not
angry, while if he holds it straight
out behind him he is in a belligerent,
bloodthirsty frame of mind. Anxious
to air his newly acquired information,
tho lawyer began cross questioning the
prosecuting witness thus:
"Now, did you notice the position in
which this dog's tail was held when
he came at you?"
"I did not," said the witness, "for
that was not the end from which I
anticipated injury. I had another end
in view. Now, if the dog had been a
hornet"?
"No levity, sir!" thundered the attorney.
"Answer the question. In
what position was the dog's tail when
he came at you?"
"I believe, sir," faltered the terrified
witness, "that it was behind him."?

How It Worked.?Two young women
in fashionable garb recently entered
a Broadway car and found only
standing room. One of them whispered
to her companion.
"I'm going to get a seat from one of
these men. Watch me!"
She looked down the row of men and
selected a sedate gentleman who bore
the settled appearance of a married
man. She walked up to him and
boldly opened fire:
"My dear Mr. Green! How delighted
I am to meet you! You are almost
a stranger. Will I accept your seat?

The sedate gentleman?a total

then quietly rose and gave her his
seat, saying:
"Sit down. Jane, my girl. I don't
often see you out on a washing day.
You must feel tired. I'm sure. How's
your mistress?"
The young woman got her seat, but

I?How is it with broiling?
Skipper?I never tasted no better fish

THE NEW POLITICAL INFANT.
Origin of the Independence Party and
What It Stands For.
By Robcrtus Love.
Lo, unto the nation a new party is
born!
In national convention assembled
at Chicago the Independence party
places in the race Thomas L. Hisgen
of Massachusetts, for president and
ToVin Tomnlp fimvps of Oeoreia for
vice president of the United States.
The Independencei party, which a
I great many persons are apt to call
11he Hearst party, is radical in platform.
The planks in that document
are reformatory almost to the point
of revolution. But the first thing the
new party does in the way of turning
matters upside down for a new. deal
is to nominate for the tall of the
ticket a man of national reputation
and for the head of the ticket a man of
local reputation only. This is a reversal
of form, so to speak. The two
old parties usually do it the other
way about.
It cannot be disputed that William
Randolph Hearst is the father of this
new party. Without Mr. Hearst, nis
set of political policies and his chain
of daily?almost hourly?newspapers,
the Independence party would not
have been born.
Mr. Hearst declined to run for the
presidential nomination. There are
those who aver that the New York,
Boston. Chicago, San Francisco and
Los Angeles newspaper proprietor In
this declination is looking toward the
future. It is suggested that Mr. Hearst
hopes the Independence party will be
stronger in 1912 than in 1908. If
this turns out to be true, then the
public confidentially may look for the
name of William R. Hearst at the top
of the Independence party ticket four
years from now.
The chief hope of the new party in
the present campaign is to kill off,
utterly and absolutely, the Democratic
nartv. While the Independence
platform denounces both the Republican
party and the Democratic party,
the one consummation devoutly
wished by those who stand for the
new political baby is the defeat of Mr.
Bryan for the presidency. This is
true despite the fact that Mr. Hearst's
newspapers warmly and flamboyantly
supported Bryan in two presidential
campaigns and despite the fact
that Mr. Graves, the man of national
reputation who ornaments the tail of
the new ticket, also has been an earnest
and enthusiastic advocate of the
Xebraskan.
As late as April 10, 1907, Mr. Graves
said in a speech at Chattanooga,
"Among those who have led us in the
past and among those who are to
lead us in the future there deserves
to live and there will be left to live
no name more honored, no character
more revered, no leadership more
onrl n it nor?nnnlitv mnrp be
loved than William J. Bryan of Nebraska."
In the same speech Mr. Graves
called upon Mr. Bryan to nominate
for president of the United States as
the candidate of the Democracy in
1908, Theodore Roosevelt.
About seven months ago Mr. Graves
accepted a position as chief editorial
writer for the New York American,
Mr. Hearst's leading organ.
Genesis of the New Party.
Mr. Hearst built up the Independence
party out of the material left by
the Independence league, a political
organization which he created in
spots throughout the country a few
years ago. The Independence league
grew out of the municipal ownership
movement in the main. In 1904 Mr.
Hearst was a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency.
He received more than a hundred
votes in the St. Louis convention.
Then he returned to New York and
ran for mayor on a municipal ownership
platform. He was defeated. He
organized the Independence league,
which nominated him for governor
in 1906. The Democracy also placed
him on its ticket. He was defeated.
Mr. Hearst thereupon determined to
create for himself a new national
party. The Hearst newspapers took
up the matter with unction and vim.
Such is the genesis of the Independence
party. This is the first time in
our history that one man has manufactured
a national political organization.
The Independence nominee for
president, Mr. Hisgen, lives at Spring**

an independent concern which
proposes to stay independent. It grew
out of the axle grease business. The
four Hisgen brothers about twenty
years ago began the manufacture of
axle grease at Albany. X. Y. Their
father, who had emigrated from Germany.
had a formula for making
axle grease, at which he experimented
unsuccessfully for years. Finally
the boys took it up and found that it
was a good thing if properly managed.
They started a factory on a capital
of- $500. The factory burned
down, but the Hisgens sold and pawned
some of their valuables and started
up again. In a few years they
built the biggest axle grease factory
on earth. They were business men.
Dealers who sell axle grease must
sell petroleum also. Mr. Rockefeller's
oil octopus observed that the Hisgen
axle grease was becoming mighty
popular. Emissaries of Standard
Oil visited Albany and offered
the Hisgens $000,000 for their plant
ntirl business Thpv declined, for it
\v;is a good thing to keep in the family.
Standard Oil then set out to kill
the Four Brothers axle grease trade.
Dealers were notified that if they sold
Hisgen axle grease they should not
sell Rockefeller oil. This method
was calculated to kill a timid concern,
but the three Hisgens?one of
the original four had died?were not
weak brothers. They determined to
survive, so they went into the oil
business themselves. The fight is still
on. Standard Oil sells wholesale in
the Springfield district at a rate more
than a cent lower per gallon that Four
Brothers oil can be sold, but the people
know that unless they support
the Hisgen oil concern 11 win nave 10
go under and then Standard Oil will
raise its price to the figures charged
in Huston and other parts of the
state where there is no competition.
So the people buy Hisgen oil and help
Mr. Hisgen to hold out in his plucky
fight against the monopoly octopus.
In 1H06 Mr. Hisgen, hitherto un- 1
known politically, was nominated for
governor of Massachusetts on the Independence
league ticket. He polled |
7f?.000 votes, almost as many as the i
Democratic candidate received. He
proved to be a campaigner of con- 1
adorable ability and a fairly good .<
speech-maker. The popularity of
Mr. Hisgen throughout his own adopted
state coupled with his excellent,
showing of votes, placed him at once
in the running for the presidential
nomination of the party that was to
be.
Mr. Hisgen is not quite fifty years
of age. He was corn at netersDurg,
Ind., received a common school education.
removed to Albany in his
youth and clerked in a dry goods
storei until, at the age of thirty, his
ability to appreciate a good thing
when he saw it caused him to go into
the axle grease business. Mr. Hisgen
is married and has three children.

Weil-Known Orator.
John Temple Graves is counted
upon to do the whirlwind campaigning
for the Independence ticket. He
is an orator of national renown. Now ,
in his fifty-second year, for twentyfive
years he has been a noted southern
editor. His journalistic career
began on the Dally Union at Jacksonville.
Fla., in 1881. He founded
the Atlanta Journal in 1887 and for
many years was editor in chief and
editorial writer. Mr. Graves has
represented both Florida and Georgia
as a delegate to Democratic national
conventions. He has been the
chief speaker at many important dinners
In New England, the east and
the south. The mantle of the late
Henry W. Grady as editor, orator
and representative of the new south
is popularly said to have fallen upon
the shoulders of Mr. Graves.
Mr. Graves Is a southerner of the
radical type. He believes thoroughly i
in the greatness of the new south, in
it" potentialities for future development,
but there is none of the old
time sectionalism in his utterances. 1
Some of his most eloquent addresses
have had to do with the heroism of
the old south and the hardihood of
the new. In his own state, in other
southern states, in Philadelphia and 1
Xew York and New England he has ]
preached the doctrine of a reunited
Union moving ever forward to a '
glorius destiny.
Believer In Change.
This vice presidential nominee has .
a striking personality. He has been (
aggressive and radical always. He ]
believes in change. Conservatism has ]
no place in his category. But he is a
radical of a different sort from John
C. Calhoun, whose brother was the i
grandfather of Mr. Graves. Like Cal- houn.
Graves was born in the Abbeville
district of South Carolina. Willington
Church, Abbeville county,
was the place of his birth. General
James Porterfleld Graves was his
father. Katherine Calhoun, his moth- .
er, was a daughter of William Calhoun,
eldest brother of the famous
South Carolina statesman.
Mr. Graves was graduated in 1875
from the university of Georgia. From
early youth he has been a student of
history, politics and literature He is
the author of a history of Florida, of
a volume of lectures and of many
magazine articles. One of his books '
is on the subject of the negro. In s
contributions to various periodicals (
he has advocated the separation of s
the white and the black races. In a '
speech not long ago Mr. Graves advo- j
rated lynching for certain heinous j
crimes. t
Student and Lecturer.
As a lecturer on the Chautauqua <
circuit Mr. Graves achieved wide dis- j
tinction some ycsirs ago. He was
much in demand by managers and
audiences. He delivered lectures
upon a dozen topics In various parts
of the country and was what the
Chautauqua people term a "return
date man." That means that the f
lecturer is always good for another t
engagement at the same place. r
In 190r> Mr. Graves was a candi- *
date for the United States senatorship j
in Georgia, but withdrew from the i
race. Owing to peculiar clrcum- 1
MUlltTff III' W <1?* t'lljwillt'u II Will UUUIII*
ins his candidacy in the paper of j
which at the time he was editor, the (
Atlanta News. The general manager '
of the News obtained the injunction, j
Shortly afterward Mr. Graves retired f
from southern journalism, and be- i
gan his connection with Mr. Hearst's 1
IN
paper after a season of lecturing and
literary work. v
According to "Who's Who in Amer- ^
1
iea," which usually gets its data from N
the subjects of the biographical s
sketches therein, Mr. Graves is "ed- C
itor in chief of the New York Ameri- s
can since 1JI07."
t The United States has a greater 1
proportion of working women than any 0
other country in the world. s
In Nuremhurer there are 1 700 r
