francois Crime.

For an exhibition of the very acme
and refinement of slyness, watch a
waiter in a crowded cafe in the act
of stealing a drink, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. In the
higher class cafes the use of intoxi-
cants at any time is sternly denied the
"help" and one guilty of it is tolerably
certain of a speedy discharge. But
walters are human and. we'll, this is
the way the weak brother did it: 4
merry quartet at one of the tables rose
to leave. Francois, SNUG of jowl and
alert of mien, had been duly paid and
feed, and set to work placing glasses
on his tray with deft fingers. Last Of
oil he placed upon 1t the whisky de-
canter, but before doing so managed,
with the adroitest wrist movement
imaginable, to refill one Of the empty
glasses with the cheering fluid. Drink
it then and there? By no means. But
when those glasses reach the kitchen,
we know, the rinsings are, SO to speak,
the rinsings of Francois, who-but
why dwell on the painful story? 1t
was punishment enough for Francois,
maybe, that one of the quartet, observ.
ing his act, should have winked at
him, Understandings and with DELHI
GRAFTON. Francois saw the wink and
for the fraction Of second his eyes
dropped. But he neither blushed nor
smiled.

Condemned Thirty Cows.

Assistant State Veterinarians j. w.
Scott, of Manchester, and Hayzlett, of
Oelwein, spent Wednesday and Thurs
day at the farm of Fl. L. Boise, near
Quasqueton, testing his herd of dairy
COWS for tuberculosis. Mr.. Boise had
a fine dairy herd of forty COWS. How
the report reached the state officers
that they were diseased does not appear
The test was made in the presence of
DR.. G. A. Scott, of this city, who was
there to represent Mr.. Boise. After
two days engaged in making the scien-
titic test, thirty of the cows were con-
demned as infected with tuberculosis
and were ordered strictly quarantined
until destroyed. We understand that
Mr.. Boise will contest the order for
their destruction in the courts, and pre-
poses to test the law. Under the law,
the only compensation he gets is the
actual value of the stock in it's diseased
condition when condemned. such value
to be fixed by the veterinarian and the
nearest justice, with right of appeal
to district court when amount exceeds
twenty-five dollars. Should the order
for destruction be carried out, the loss
to Mr.. Boise could be scarcely less than
$1,000, a sum worth fighting for.-I,,-

Why Doctors Suicide.

Statistics show that the medical pro-
fession is more prone to suicide than
any other. During the last three years
the number of suicides occurring
among physicians has been, respective
ly, forty-fve, forty-nine and forty
seven per annum, an average of nearly
one to 1000; or, as the death rate
among the physicians is about twenty.
five to 1000, nearly one-fftieth of all
the deaths in the profession have been
by suicide. 1t has been suggested that
an explanation of this tendency may
be found in the development of morbid
fancies in the mind Of doctor, on ac-
count of his constant association with
the sick and dying, or because he has
the requisite knowledge of how to die
painlessly and conveniently. A medi-
cal journal dissents from these views
and holds that the leading factor is
the accessibility Of the poisonous drugs
which are almost invariably used. Sui
eide is largely matter of insane I'M
pulse. Imagine man fatigued in body
and depressed in spirits-as the doctor
very often is-swayed by an oyerwhel-
ming conviction Of the utter WEAKNESS
of life to the impulse Of suicide. If
he had to put on his hat and walk to
the drug store and tax his ingenuity
for lie with which to explain his de-
sire for poison he might postpone the
fatal act from mere inertia, or he may
meet friend or have his interest in
life aroused by one of a multitude of
every day occurrences, or physical ex-
ercise may bring him to his senses. If
however as is the case with almost
every doctor, he has simply to feel in
his pockets or walk across his office
to get deadly poison the impulse
may be carried into execution before
anything can happen to supplant it in
the brain.

send to every new subscriber for three
months a copy of The DISPATCH for

The Sophomore Mr.. Roosevelt

In one of his recent speeches Govern.

following:
We shall be guilty of terrible
wrong to humanity fin the Philip
pines we retreat before armed saw
agery instead of organizing a suit
able government, whichshall guar
antee justice to every one and an
eyer-increasing measure of liberty
to those who show themselves
worthy of it.
Very pretty, to be sure. But what
does it mean? Who is to be the judge
who shall decide when people show
themselves worthy of 'aneyer-increas.
ing measure of liberty?" Who judged
of the worthiness of the revolutionary
fathers? Did the colonists submit to
the decision of outside parties, or did
they insist upon their right to decide
for themselves? There is a tremend.
Gus amount of palaver about "oul
duty to the Filipinos, but why not
talk little about our duty to our.
selves?
Would it not be well for us to solve
a few problems of our own before
undertaking to solve problems for the
Filipinos? Would it not be well for
us to judge ourselves before under
taking to judge the worthiness of
Others? If Governor Roosevelt will
come down out of the sophomore
clouds for few moments he may be
able to discover the fact that we have
a few problems right here at home,
any one of which will tax our ingenu-
ity to solve. There is the race
problem, for instance. And there is
the trust problem. And there are
Others. High-sounding phrases may
be all right as political CUFF, but it is
time that Governor Roosevelt and
Others realize that political CUFF is not
in as much demand as it was a few
years ago. "Show themselves worthy
of an ever-increasing measure of
liberty" Indeed, Governor Roosevelt,

Plutocratic Platform.

The platform adopted by the Iowa
republican state convention is declar-
alton of hostility to the principles up
on which the American republic is
founded. Itapproves the war against
the Filipinos, thus repudiating the
affirmation of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence that governments derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed, and sets the seal of
republican party sanction on an i'm
perial colonial policy which whether
designed or not designed, must
result in entangling foreign alliances
and probable foreign wars, the deyel-
opment of mighty navy and the
maintenance of a large standing army,
increased tax burdens upon American
citizens, the ascendency and sway of
militariSm, the rise and rule of an
aristocracy based upon wealth, and
the degradation of the masses to the
level occupied by the common people
of the bayonet-dominated and bayonet-
cursed nation of Europe.
1t affirms the brazen falsehood that
1.-THE monetary standard of this Ecoun-
try and of the commercial world is
gold, and declares for private and
against government control of the
volume of money and incidentally of
the value of property, by proclaiming
that the permanence of the gold STAN
dard ''must be assured by COMPRESSION

and vitality of public law" And to
force the government to sell bonds in
terminably for gold with which to
make redemption to add billions to the
public interest bearing debt that banks
may have basis for note issues and
spectators chance to skin the peo-
pie, it dogmatically asserts that sail

that the laws and contract must be SO
