send woman to that electric
chair? I'll show them what | dare
do"
IL was no Idle boast.
The day came, the old woman
was half pushed, half carried into
the death room. The back of her
head was shaved so that the cur
rent might easily reach her brain,
One Of her legs was barred TO the
hip that the second elertrode mig hit
burn her without setting Are to her
clothing.
A score Of men looked on at this
sight, which history owes to the
"brave" Governor Roosevelt. II
was sight to be seen only once,
Roosevelt will never again be gov
ernor. There will never again be
man at the head of great state
capable Of sending an old woman
in shameful dress to shameful
death before many men.
The "brave" governor was under
his bedclOthes far away. The
woman was pushed into the chair
and strapped In, the current-turn
ed on by Roosevelt's Order-enter
ed the brain. Twice, three times
it was turned on, while the feeble
old frame moved convulsively, anG
that WAS the end of Roosevelt'l
bravest deed.
Some men are mawkish. Some
are sentimental. Some could no
enjoy executing an old woman
Some, If especially authorized b,
law to cummute sentences to life
imprisonment whenever they
thought wise to do so, would hav,
spared Martha Place the suffering
and shame of that death. Perhap.
they will not give their vote t.
Roosevelt for that particular piece
of courage.
But the second heroic deed may
move them.
That second deed can be tolt
more quickly.
Roosevelt had gone to war. After
heroic parformances--told over hi.
own signature in numerous maga
zines-he Informs us that he took
San Juan Hill.
At one stage of his glorious pro
gress he saw fleeing before him 8
miserable Spaniard. The mans
back was turned, of course. He
was running away.
He had never hurt Roosevelt
He was in the army because com
PEELED to he there. The real con.
flict was over.
But, as he ran. his back offered 6
most inviting shot. Roosevelt, you
must remember, had never killed
a man.
He had once killed a bear in g
trap, according to western stories
He had kill rabbits and robins. He
had Indirectly killed old Marths
Place. But he had not actually
had the satisfaction of pressing the
button.
Here was chance really to en-
joy the sensation of killing fellow
creature. 1t was not a foolhardy
undertaking, for the mans bach
WAS turned. He could not sudden
Iy face round and do harm, for ht
had dropped his weapons in hi'
flight. If ever Roosevelt was t.
enjoy the sensation of taking hu
man life, here was his chance t.
enjoy the sensation safely.
He SAYS in the sham oful story
which he himself has signed anG
left for his children to read:
"I shot him dead with my revol
yer, while the Spanish wretch was
fleeing"
We do not pretend to guess what
the next "brave" deed OF this brave
man may he, if Offices and oppor'
tunities continue to pour in upon
him.
We simply narrate these two
sample deeds of herOism as guides
to those who must vote this fall.
An old woman electrocuted.
A fleeing unarmed man shot in
the back.
Such are R0Osevelts chief claims
to heroism at present. If you ir.
dorse such heroism vote for him by
all means.

Bees for Honey.
j. W. ROUSE.

TO secure Il good crop of honey |
we follow the plan as here given:
We see that the bees have plenty |
of food to run them until fruit !
bloom, and if they do not secure
enough to run them until the rcgu-
lar flow of honey begins, we feed
them, rs at this time they need an
abundance to rear young brood,
and unless they do have plenty of
feed they will rear but few if any
young bees; and unless there are
Il large number of bees when the
honey flow does come there will be
but little if any surplus honey.
The main honey flow first comes
when white clover is in bloom
about the first of June, and the fall
flow commences about the last of
August. These periods give the
main crop. There is usually little
to get besides this for surplus, and
as it takes about thirty days to
raise work bee to go to work
from the egg, to secure II large
number of bees they should be
stimulated by feeding if they do
not have plenty from the first of
May and thence on.
1t is almost useless to try to keep
bees unless one has modern nova
bic frame hives, so that the bee
keeper may look and know the eX-
act condition of his bees and so be
able to give assistance when need
ed. In times past, before the
country was settled much, bees
used to do well, but since so much
of the land is under cultivation, the
bee-kccpcr must produce his bees
before the main honey flow is on in
order to secure good results. When
, the honey flow commensurate
one may know this by the bees
building new comb or adding to
the old comb by lcngthcning ont
the cells along the top bar of
frames in the brood nest-the sur
plus combs, if for extracted honey,
or the sections if for comb honey,
should be put in the hive. We dc
not have any of this on until the
bees need it. To get the bees NJ

brood from the brood chamber and
place it above III the surplus cham.

ton. This gets the bees to work
instead of getting ready to swarm

assured the convention that George w.
Haskell would make just as lively
hustle for the election after the nomina-

made for the nomination and that his

Bryan, whom 1t fought uucompromisingly

tempt to regain portion Of Its self respect,
1t publishes the Declaration Of tndepend-
ence In full In Its columns. The publica-

been printed week or two ago In which
case II would probably have saved the edi-

own independence to man who cared less
for the independence of eighty per cent Of
the membership of his party than for his
own sweet will. The TIMES hopes thai
the publication of the document will do the

done for Its editor.

of the way in which he had won his

''You can fool all the people part of the
time, part of the people all of the time, but
you cannot fool all of the people all of the
time" said that greatest of Americans,
Abraham Lincoln. Evidently that is just
what Bryan is gambling on. He fooled a
part of the people four years ago and now
hopes that the year 1900 will happen to
come under that part of the saying en-
braced In the words, "You can fool all the
people part Of the time" He will find,
however, that be has fooled enough of the
people and for long enough time SO that
the other part of the saying will be the one
which will apply this year after all, viz,
"You cannot fool all of the people all of
the time" The people are fast finding
Bryan out, and 1t will never do for him to
stake his chances on the above wise remark
of the martyred president.

The democratic party denounces expansion.
In the one year of democratic control, 1894,
the wage earners of this country depleted
their savings deposits by the sum of $37,-
100000. Since Mckinley has been presi-
dent they have enjoyed expansion-but an
expansion Of different kind. They have
in bank savings deposits alone been en-
abled to earn aid save surplus of more
than $4s2, 100000 From loss of S37,-
100000 to a surplus in the banks to their
credit of more than S4s2, 900, 900 would
seem to be expansion enough for anybody.
Are the wage carriers of the country going
to object to that kind of expansion? But
that is the kind of expansion which the
republicanspolicy has brought in the last
few years and Is the kind of expansion
which the policies Of the party are sure to
bring In an even greater degree within the
next few years. And the democrat party
Is opposed to expansion, and to republican
policy everywhere

proposition.

P. I. Barnum, the great Snowman, 1t
will be remembered, said thct the Ameri-
can people liked to be humbugged. They
will have the best chance of the century on
the 9th of next November to prove whether
the old man took their measure rightly or
not. Four years ago they did not show any
alarming inclination to allow themselves
to be humbugged by that arch imperial
humbug, Bryan, and it is exceedingly
doubtful If they will show themselves any
more willing to be humbugged by the same
person this year.
