RITICS OF Governor Roosevelt
are now attacking him be-
~ cause he did not order out the
S:rr militia to prevent the recent
'rize fight on Coney Island. Their ar
;ument is. that the law against prize
lighting in New York state is a state
'aw which the governor should enforce.
.But IL the governor should have
nsurped the prerogatives of the sheriff
In the manner indicated he would have
laid himself open to criticism equally
rs severe. Apart from the legal ques-
ion as to whether the Jeffries- -Shar-
Eey battle constituted a violation of
he law, which expressly permits box
= pg, contests with five-ounces gloves,
he attempt to shoulder upon the gov
.,rnor at Albany a responsibility which
'ests upon the inhabitants OF the city
'f New York is neither fair nor credit
able.

cided by their ballots that they wanted

should not now enter the baby plea
that 1t is the governors place to take
them under his paternal wing They
were informed that Tammany ascend
ency meant a "wide open" city, with
vice given every privilege that it cared
to pay for in pecuniary or political
blackmail. They were aware that the
enforcement of Croker implied the
casting off of moral restraint and a
carnival of all the unholy elements in
municipal pollution. This was not
merely asserted In campaign appeals
but established in bitter experience.
The choice was made deliberately and
the consequences should not be shirked.
1t is questionable IL those who now
censure Roosevelt would have approved
had he arbitrarily stopped the recent
fight. There Is a surprising percentage
OF unconscious hypocrisy in the general
outcry against prize-fighting. People
who can stomach foot ball have very
little license to throw bricks at pugil-
ism.

cate questions coming up TO be decided,
questions which ought TO have been de-
cided by a lawyer well versed in inter-
national law, and rot a sailor who knew
only such law as he had been able to
pick up, and whose law library was eX
tremely limited.
THE situation at enc time was such
that 1t took almost the entire time of
two officers to search the books to see
what We might do ard what We were
not allowed to do. Why" said the ad-
miral, with an expressive gesture, "a
good lawyer at that time, a man familiar
with international law, would have been
worth his weight In gold and diamonds
and rubies."
"And probably, II you had had a law
yer on your staff" said one of his audi
ence, "he would have made any amount
of trouble for you and the government,
which you avoided because you made
common sense take the place OF law"

HUMAN NATURE STUDIES
As Seen by Others.

Lewis Carroll. author of "Alice in Won
derland," told with keen relish, says the
Youths Companion, of a rebuff given
him by little girl who knew him only
as a learned mathematician.
Have you ever read Through the
Looking CLASP" " he asked her, expect
ing an outburst of delight.
"Oh dear, yes" she replied. 1T is
even more stupid than Alice in Wonder
land! Don't you think so?"
Wordsworth could not conceal his
chagrin when he heard that his neigh
bors, the farmers, described him as "a
daft. idle body, who went moaning about
the hills and had not wit enough to raise
field Of oats"
The following anecdote of Henry Clay
was told by one of his personal friends:
While making the journey to Washing
ton on the National road, just after his
nomination as candidate for the presi-
dency, he was travelling one stormy
night wrapped up in a huge cloak, on
the back scat of the stage coach, when
two passengers entered, They were Ken
tuckians like himself. He fell asleep.
and when he awoke found them discuss
ing his chances in the coming cam
paign.
what did Henry Clay go into politics
for?' said one. "He had good bit Of
land; he had keen eye for stock. If he
had stuck to stock-raising he'd have
been worth his fifty thousand. But now
he doesn't own a dollar"

now making faces at the members of
the Philippine commmssion. Before
they knew for certain just what Ad-
miral Dewcy's views were, they were
heraldng him as one of their own num-
ber and inrimating very knowingly
that something would drop when
Dewey got home. In those days the
'antis" led in the applause whenever
Dcwey's name was mentioned, but
things are different now.
Carl Schurz says Dewey stated an
"untruth" when he said that no alli-
ance had been made with Aguinaldo
Winslow Warren, chairman of the exc

good brief for the PLAINTIFF; in other
words. that Schurman, DENLY, Worces-
ter and Dewey deliberately made their

retary of the league. calls the report
an administration document" which
is true enough but not in the sense
which he seeks to imply. Senator
Mason calls it "dreaTy rot; and Edwin
Burrit Smith intimates that it was dis
honestly drawn. The opinion Of Sena-
tor Hoar has not beer published, but
poor John Sherman is dragged into the
controversy with a muttering of dis
satisfaction; ard so the sequence goes
down the melancholy line.

~ NE OF THE things which the

~ do is to pass n law empower

commission to fix a maximum rate to

corporation absorbed the Wagner COM

the whole railway field and can dictate

without curb or check.
The Philadelphia Press mentions an
illustration Of its methods which is ia

New York to Syracuse, distance of
300 miles, the Wagner company charged
only $3.50. but the Pullman company,
for berth from Philadelphia TO New

NpHulliOliS the convenience IL deals in
is public necessity. for which the
public can be made to pay whatever
1t has the nerve to charge.
Enormous profits have been reaped
by the Pullman company in a way that
differs from the activities of the high
way robber mainly in the fact that the
Pullman corporation works within the
etter of the law If there is any moral
difference, the comparison favors the
road agent, who does not make any
professions to respectability. but picks
pockets openly and above board. often
showing some measure of chivalry and
tair dealing. 1t is high time for con-
gress to take in hand this matter of

means whereby the public will not be

Not So Savage as He Looked.

Many years ago a number of Peoria
Indians organized a show company anc
made tour of the east. They were most
ly half-bTceds and all were thoroughly
educated in English, but 1t was stipu-
lated by the management that they must
talk only in their native tongue, and
when they got On their war togs they
looked savage enough, indeed. Among
the company was VIII Labadie well
known In Galena, says the Galena Re-
publican, and one evening he was stand
ing In the corridor of an Eastern hotel,
dressed in his chiefs robes and looking
every inch the savage man of fiction,
when he was approached by an elegantly
gowned lady. and the following CONVEX
sation ensUed:
How"
"Ugh."
You big chief in your own country"
Ugh"
You go to Washington to see great
White Father"
Ugh"
"You cannot speak white mans tongue;
you no speak English?'
mo, madam. | regret to say that /
| do not understand the language"
The poor woman was greatly surprised
and embarrassed, but perhaps not so
much as a bevy of giIls on a later oc-
casion. In almost every town some of
the audience would remain behind to get
a better view of the ewful savages. One
night Labadie had taken his seat in the
orchestra box after the show and four
or flve young ladies who were standing
near commenced to comment on his per-
sOnal appearance. "How would YOU like
to kiss him?' said one of the maidens,
with litter. "Oh, girls! let's all do
1t just to see how it would feel TO kiss
a real Indlanw exclaimed one more dar-
Ing than the rest. whereupon Labadie
turned calmly to them and said:

pleasure than to give you a practical IL
