We like the frank and manly Way
in which Gov. Roosevelt meets the
various questions which come before
him, be they state, national or per
sonal. One does not have to wait
long to find out what Teddy thinks,
and what he says he means. His
open utterances in favor Of uphold
ing Gov. TAYLOR in the position to
which he has been elected by The
people of Kentucky, were in marked
contrast to those of other republicans,
notably the senator from that state,
and his recent reaching out and set
thing the movement to make him
candidate for vice president is equal
ly frank. The country will agree
with Gov. Roosevelt that at the pres
ent time his duty is in the state Of
New York, where the people have
placed him in charge while some
great problems are being faced and
settled. Benson Times.

ALL the vast power of the sugar
and tobacco trusts is this week try
ing to push through congress the
Porto Rican tariff law, charging that
dependency one-fourth of the rate
paid by foreign countries. Against
the bill are the representatives who
have the stamina to stand for the
rights of the Porto Ricans and the
consumers. While it is unfortunate
that the change of letting in Porto
Rican products should be so great,
yet the sugar trust has not been so
tender to the people but that the
people shonld now demand justice
for themselves even if it does hurt
the sugar kings.

HARRY QUINN.

At tn present time it seems prob
able that baseball will be an interest
ing field of action during the summer
especially because of the new Ameri-
can Association, which has been pro-
noted by Harry Quinn, of Milwaukee.
He has quite broad experience in
baseball matters, and has been very
successful in many of his club ven
lures. He has great many admirers
among the patrons of the national
sport. and he has promoted this new
American Association with viewato
giving better quality of ball play
ing and wider field of enjoyment
for the baseball admirers. To just
what extent the new American
Association will affect the old, Nation
al League it is impossible to say.
There is great deal of speculation
and conjecture in the matter, and
supporters of the League are notY at
all enthusiastic in greeting this new
association. Mr.. Quinn was formerly,
manager of the Milwaukee club, and
was instrumental in transferring the
old Union League club to Milwaukee
some years ago. -

charge of Charles E. Macrum, who
practically deserted his post as Unit
ed States Consul at Pretoria, because
this government did not take sides
with the Beers, that his official mail
was opened by the British Military
Censor at Durham, was true. The
first that Secretary Hay, or anybody

from his post. If the charge be true,
an apology will, of course, be de

NOT 80 savage - no AO0k0Oo
Many years ago . nuuAAer Of Peoria
Indians organised a show company and
made q tour Of the East They were
mostly half breeds and all were thor
oughly educated In English, but 1t was
stipulated by the management that
they must talk only in their native
tongue, and wnen they got on thei:
war tegs they looked savage enough,
indeed. Among the c0mpnDy was Will
Labadie, well known in Galena, and
one evening he was standing in the
7 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
geA7ned lady. and the following con
versation ensued:

not so much as bevy of girls ON

CHIEF GRAIN INSPECTOR REIsHUs, in
answer to the charge that the North
western wheat was not holding its
grade in the French market, recently
made the statement that the deteriora-
ton was due TO mixing with inferior
wheat by the Buffalo elevators.
This charge is refuted by long
statement given out by the inspector
at Buffalo. who also makes the
further charge that all the grades
below No. l were very uneven and
that there was also an attempt to cell
what was really No. 2 or No. 3 as No.

grades altogether and any temporary

ROCKY ROAD TO MATRIM 0NY
Mr.. Barnes, BE-, Wants to Marry Miss
Pierce, rs. and Can't

Pierce, rs. and Can't.
Boston, May 1.-THE road to matrimony
appears to be a difficult one for Miss
Louisa Pierce, of Newton Highlands, and
Charles H Barnes, of Boston She is
nearly seventy-fve and he is only thirty
two.
Miss Pierce is wealthy while Mr.. Barnes
is a struggling medical student. After
quite delay the pair succeeded in get
ting a marriage license from the City
Clerk of Newton, but, as the froom is a
resident of Boston, a license from this
city is necessary.
Today a couple came into the Regis
tars office here and applied for permits
sion to be married. Assistant Registrar
Frank Ridsout began to ask questions.
Miss Pierce seemed feeble. She had
entered supported by Mr.. Barnes, who
seated her in a chair. and she sat with
her head thrown forward. Mr.. Barnes
Mr.. Rideout asked but the wOman's dis
inclination to take any part in the pro-
ceedings did not satisfy the Registrar.
He asked her If she wished to get mar
ried and she motioned to Mr.. Barnes to
answer.
Mr.. Barnes said she did wish to get
married.
Mr.Rideout asked: "Do you know what
you are doing? Do you know what you
are here for?'
Miss Pierce shook her head and Mr..
Barnes bent low and spoke IN her ear:
Yes you are here to get a marriage
license"
Mr.. Rideout again asked her If she
knew what she was about to do and
again she did not give any intelligent
answer.
They were told to come in agin in an
hour. At noon the pair returned. Mr..
Rideout was willing to grant the license
as soon as he could be satisfied that the
woman was fully conscious of what she
was about to do.
DR.. Shea, of the Health Department,
came in and Mr. Rideout suggested that
Miss Pierce accompany the doctor into
the private office so that he could talk
10 her quietly and see if she fully under
stood that marriage license was being
applied for in her behalf.
Mr.. Barnes would not consent to this.
At this moment John R. Ainsley, a
nephew of Miss Pierce. accompanied by
an attorney, entered the office to the
CONSERVATION Of Mr.. Barnes. Mr.. Ride
out and Mr. Ainsley had a consultation
in the formers private office. Finally
Mr.. Barnes was called in Although
what passed was not heard outside, It
was evident that both Barnes and Aims
ley were having a pretty hot debate.
Finally Barnes. his face flushed with an
ger, appeared in the outer Office.
Come along, they have refused us a
ear. he took her arm and they walked
out
