~perintendent Carleton. The newspa-

strong word uttered In h 5 defense has
escaped the Standards attention, and
we have kept both eyes open. Some of
the denunclation Of Mr.. Carleton is
severe; in instances its bitterness faith
fully reflects universal public opinion
In the state. The conclusion from which
there is no varying is that he is an
offender who wrongs the state AMI
dishonors Montana's establishment for
public education.

The President of Cuba.

SHAT gossip about the future

toned in one of yesterday
mornings news items. furnishes n OF
the comic paragraphs of the war. The
story is that there's a compact made
and entered into between Gomez and
Blanco by the terms of which Gomez
is TO set up the Cuban republic and
Rlanco will then be elected president.
The alleged is such a
manifest misht hat the mere mention
of IL makes il grotesque.
Yet one can believe that Blanco
would be well pleased with the presi-
dency Job; anything that would afford
him an excuse for keeping away from
Spain he would welcome. Blanco is
the man who wrote to the government
at Madrid urging the removal of Ger
vera from the command of the fleet
that was shut UP in the harbor of san
tiago. He denounced Cervera as in
competent, and. when he failed to
bring about a change In the command
of the fleet. he ordered Cervera to quit

that could have been hit upon.
Blanco will not want to face the powers
at Madrid and be called TO account for
this monstrous blunder. He would pre-
fer the Cuban presidency; he wouldn't
be fifteen minutes in that office before
he would start plotting one of those
coups which have been the chief dis
tinction i'm the political history of
South American republics. That won't
do at all. OF course, the report that
Gomez is a party to the deal is pure
fiction. For that matter, when il comes
to getting a president for free Cuba.
Gomez may have considerable to say
but there'll be others.

in our own country IN regard to Ameri-
cans who will be named to have general

Fitzhugh Lee FOR this work: that he
should be chosen seems a matter of

hat General Lee is not the kind Of an
administration man wanted for this
mission. There will be politics in the
selection. and those who trace it's
course produce General Lee in evil
dence thereof-the country is not un-
mindful OF the fact that, In the move

A PIUCkY
A Bantam Rooster whips a Large Turkey
Gobbler.

GObbler.
That superior size and strength DO
not always win a fight has received a
new exempiifcation in the Drowned
Lake district. near here. says a Mid
dletown correspondent OF the Chicago
Chronicle. A game bantam rooster,
weighing less than two pounds, worst
ed and nearly killed a ~25-pound turkey
gohbler In single combat. The birds
are the property of william McPher-
son. who reports that he was COM
PEELED to take the little fellow Of m
order to save the turkeys life. Mr..
Mcpherson does not know the casus
helll. as the war was on when he
reached the scene. He supposes 1t was
due to the interference of the bantam
with a turkey hen before whose nest
Mr.. Gobbler was attitudinizing.
Gobblers. as a rule, make good lights
when not too heavily handicapped by
clumsiness, but In this case weight and
power awaited nothing against the agile
and determined foe. The rooster was
never where the gobbler expected him
TO be. He would duck, side step, avoid
and lead back with the greatest fury.
In a few rounds he a the gobbler
pretty tired, while he himself had not
received a blow in all the fight. me
little fellow would fly into he air, and
had cut the gobbler about the head and
neck in a dozen places, using bill and
spurs with fine effect.
Finally, the bantam, seeing his ad-
vantage. flew upon the gobbler's back
and stuck there, plying his bill with
incredible speed, ducking or fighting
back when the unwildy bird turned his
neck to displace the enemy. Gobbler
had enough after a short bout of this
kin OF fighting. and sank to the
ground. a badly whipped turkey. Still
the bantam pecked merrily away, and
would undoubtedly ave killed his en-
envy but for outside intervention. Mr..
Mcpherson took him off and forced
him to relinquish the battle.
Then the bantam walked away a few
PAGES. tapped his wings and GROVE
his triumph and defiance. His feath-
ers were not ruined. and he was still
full of fight. He waited until MIR. Nc
Pherson turned to leave. when he made
a rush at the gobbler n renewed the
fight with much vigor, again assuming
his favorite position. The gobbler did
not fight back this time; he was licked.
and he knew II. But Mr.. Mcpherson
saw he was about to lose a valuable
bird, and he seized the pugnacious
rooster and carried him away, kicking
and struggling. He locked the bantam
up until his temper had time to cool
off. Blu he is still hunting for trouble
with the gobbler and never overlo 1ks
a chance to assail him.. The gobbler,
on the other hand, makes a swift re-
treat when the bantam shows up.

Mr.. Platt's Legislature.

~HERE'S nothing in current poll
tics that is a match In grotesque
features for the New York legis-
lature's extra session which started
operations last week. To begin with,
Mayor Van Wyck, of Greater New York,
did several things in respect to the po-
lice that greatly disturbed Mr.. Plat.
The facts are not worth reciting-
enough TO know that the Plat machine
made up It's mind that It could cry
alarm for the count OF the vote at mex
autumn's election. To provide against
the alleged danger there was no way
except through the agency of an extra
session OF the legislature Of the state OF
New York-what Mr.. Plat needed was
more law.
Extra sessions OF legislatures are
mighty unpopular things. Plat could
persuade Governor Black to call the
session II only some ground for the sum
mons could be found that would rob
the proceeding Of a measure at least of
Its unpopularity. Putting their heads
together. Platt n the governor found
excuses for the call. One was discov-
cred in a clause of New York's revised
constitution which provides that, in
enable the soldiers in the field TO vote;
there couldn't be any doubt as to the
large popularity of an extra session
called for that patriotic purpose. The
law In question is, however. not manda-
tory. and the prevailing opinion is that
will be home In time to vote.
The governor and Plat found an
other excuse drawn from patriotism;
they discovered that IL is necessary to
appropriate at once more money for
military purposes. Everybody knows
that for this ar extra session was not
required. The state government could
meet Lll demands; in regular session.
the legislature would surely honor the
expenditure. There is a third matter
OF business for the Legislature to deal
with. That is the real business. Mr..
Plat styles It a demand for protection"
for elections.
Nobody suspects Mr.. Plat Of sincerity
In calling the legislature together in the
interest of honesty at the polls. But
the hypocrisy Of the whole business
isn't its most ridiculous part. AT the
outset Mr.. Plat and Governor Black
ave a heavy falling out as to the char
acter Of the legislation for the 'protec-
ton OF the ballot box, and the governor
has practically served notice that for
this pretended protection he win not
In any event go the length OF Platt's de-
mands.
The unique situation is that the gov
ernor has the two houses of the legisla-
ture which. under New York's law, can
deal with those measures only that are
presented for consideration by the gov
ernor. while per contra. Nh. Plat will
soon have a state convention that will
nominate for the office Of governor the
man whom Plat picks out. Black wants
that nomination; Plat makes It con
tingent on the recommendation of the
legislation he wants. The soldier-vote
plea and the war-appropriation meas
ure are hus early In the distant back
ground, and they say that already Black
Is sorry he consented TO summon the
extra session.
