and an expressed fear that some
of them are not in line for Mckinley.
It's sad, but true. Quite number Of
the veterans are not hilarious over the
ticket this year. They know
what war means, and we have been
having war without interruption for
about three years now. No wonder
there is solicitude as to the attitude of
the veterans who went through four or
five years of that sort of thing.

Stampede for Roosevelt.

Philadelphia, June l8-The long ad
vertised stampede for Roosevelt four
days before the nomination can be made
is such as to indicate that it probably
cannot be checked
Nothing but a positive declaration
from Governor Roosevelt that he would
not accept the nomination after it was
made would stop it, and he will not say
that
Some Of the governors personal friends
have been to see him today and urged
him to make every effort to prevent the
nomination, but he realized that he was
in no position to declare in advance that
he would refuse nomination after it
was tsndered.
Looking to the future Governor Roose-
velt and his friends realize that the dec
lination Of popular and enthusiastic
nomination for vice president made
with the idea that it will contribute to
the success Of the party, would no doubt
mean political oblivion.
1t is accepted by the leaders that
Roosevelt was sincere iu his emphatic
declarations that he would not accept
and was not candidate, but now he re-
alizes that the popular and political
movement to force the nomination upon
him has reached point beyond his con-
troll.
The attitude OF the administration
and especially that Of Senator Hanna,
forms an interesting feature of the stu
alton az developed today.
1t has been the general impression
that it only remained for Hanna to give
the word or for some person with author
ity to indicate the wishes of the presi-
dent and the convention would line up
for the man selected.
The only man in the race who seemed
satisfactory to the friends OF the admin
istration was Secretary Long, and his
candidacy did not flourish because

A Famous Fisherman.

M. L. Roberts cams home last night
from Iols. He brought with him some
fish. Not one or two lonely representa-
tives of the speckled beauties which in
habit the cold waters OF the Gunnison,
but all the fish in pound measurement
hich the law permits man to catch
with rod and line. This is not especial
ly wonderful in the case OF Mr.. Roberts,
who is a real fisherman. 1t would be
g ,mething remarkable for the ordinary
fisherman at lola, among who was the
very Reverend Dean H. Martyr Hart OF
Denver, who politely informed Mr.. Rob-
erts he could not catch trout without he
used the small English hook, for every
thing must be English. "don't cher
know" with the Dean. But Mr.. Roberts
gave the Dean and others few lessons
in angling, which they do not read in
editions Of the famous book Of that great
fisherman Izaak Walton.
The fish, occupying a big dish pan
loaded to the guards we're exhibited in
the window Of Mr.. Roberts store last
night, and they made the mouths of
many water for some Of their dainty
Aesh.
Mr.. Roberts distributed the fish liber-
ally, barely keeping mess for his own
family, all his pleasul coming from max
ing the catch and sharing them with his

HOW JAPANESE LOOK AT 1T.
They Resent the Gushing Attitude
Toward Their Country.


Toward Their Country.
Perhaps no other country than ia
pan has received so much unstinted
praise in the periodical literature Of
the last two decades. But this Is not
enough to satisfy a native of Japan,
says the International Magazine. He
knows that the powerful and respected
nations Of the world are often criti-
cised, and even bitterly attacked, for
certain shortcomings. Nothing has
less influence upon q sober and
thoughtful Japanese than laudatory
descriptions of the country and the
people. He suspects that this sort of
eulogy is not thoroughly sincere. It
IL like the applause that Ia given to
dog standing on his hind legs-noth-
ing remarkable in itself, but remark
able for him. What the Japanese
prizes more than anything else is, in
essence, what all people ask for-name-
ly. recognition based on mutual re-
spect or equality. Failing to receive
this, he prefers the severest criticism,
II not made in a carping spirit. In
fact, a Japanese resents the gushing
attitude toward the art, the scenery, or
the refined manners of his country, be-
cause he is aware that these are really
not the objects Of national worship in
Occidental countries. The fundamen-
tai desires for equality stir him more
than any other ideal virtue or power.
