For Governor and President

Why should not Henry Watterson be elected Governor of Kentucky in 1909, and President of the United States perhaps year later? The Age
 Herald knows no reason why this sol
 dier of the Confederacy, this brilliant newspaper worker, should not have whatever he desires or will accept For Henry Watterson is one of the strongest personalities in the land to day, and long has been. He may be said to be the best, as he is the last of personal journalists. There is nothing impersonal in his makeup He is always Henry Watterson. and no one has any doubt as to that who

WHEN SIR THOMAS RETURNS.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The King fixed his eyes on Sir Thomas a little reproachfully. The gallant knight flinched slightly beneath the steady gaze
 Did you catch the cup, Tommy7' his majesty asked, and he asked 1t in the tone of a man who knows just what the answer will be.
 T oid not" said Sir Thomas. r
 He hove heavy sigh as he said 1t. Then he hove two.
 You did not" repeated his majesty. T know you did not. The trouble is that in knotical parlance you did not knot fast enough"
 The Kings features relaxed as he re- lieved himsen of this humorous sally, and taking Sir Thomas by the arm he permitted one eyelid to slightly droop as they passed down the corridor and through a green baize swinging door.

BRITISH OFFICERS.
Five Are Killed In Fight at Twenty
 Four Streams.

Capetown, October 17.-In a brisk fight at Twenty-four Streams, near Piquett- berg, yesterday, Captain Below and four other British were killed and several others wounded.
 The British had surprised several camps. The Boers are now in the habit of shifting camp by night. Lately the British column, after long night marches. have arrived at their objective only to find the Boers gone. British columns ptt.- etrating Orange River Colony miles from the railways find fields of maize or freshly plowed lands, the Boers making off at their approach and returning when the columns pass on. The herds on the high veldt still seem to be numerous. The Boers are living on cattle and meal ies stored in out of the way places.

Reciprocity Is Free Trade.

Reciprocity treaties are simply free trade exceptions to tarli- laws" said Senator Morgan, in answer to a question regarding his views on those conven- tions which promise much agitation be- fore the approaching Congress. The re- suit of the ratification of many treaties would be that we should be left with a tariff law on our statute books and yet be open to bargains with different na- tons as to our tariff rates" The Sena- tor made it plain that he regarded such policy as a sacrifice of an important principle in legislation. which would lead to scrambling among people of different sections to secure the most favorable trade conditions possible for their own localities.

Will Ham Isbell Bullock on Wednesday after noon. the 23d of October. 1901. at 12:so o'clock, at their home, Tusoumhia, Ala. :" Senator Bullock has been conspicuous and honored In public life in Alabama for many years. although he Is still young man. He has been elected to two of three terms in the State Senate. and for num- Der of years consecutively he served as member of the State Democratic Execu- tive Committee. During recent years, when there were loud outcries against ab- senteeism in the committee, Senator Bull lock was not one of the offenders. If at any time he was absent from a meeting, the cause was something beyond his con- trol. He never shirlsed his duty never dodged 1t.
 Senator Bullock is man of intellectual ability and the highest personal charac- ter. These facts are universally recog- nized, and so congratulations upon his happy good fortune in winning one of the fairest brides of the Tennessee valley will go to him from all over the State.

DEWEYs RULINGS PRAISED.

Wash. Dispatch to Philadelphia Press.
 Admiral Dewey, the ranking officer of the navy, seems determined that no grievances or scandals shall be aired to the detriment of the service. As presi- and positive. He checks immediately any disposition to go beyond the precepts on which the inquiry rests. He has ruled that since Rear Admiral Schley has re- quested this court of inquiry to investi- gate his conduct during the Santiago campaign, no other officer shall be in vestigated and nothing which does not bear upon Schley's conduct shall be ad- mitted.
 Admiral Dewey is now seen in differ ent light from that which had surrounded him since his brilliant victory in Manila Bay. It can be said without reservation that in his position as president of one of the most celebrated naval courts of in- quiry he has met expectations as fully as he did at Manila. His rulings have been characterized by absolute fairness and show him to be clear-headed and of a ju- dicial turn of mind. Counsel on both sides take occasion outside of court to comment upon the ability and impar- tiality with which the admiral conducts the court. His colleagues, Rear Admiral Benham and Rear Admiral Ramsey. are also popular and praised by counsel. This comment which is heard in the lunch and retiring rooms during recesses of the court, warrants the assumption that whatever verdict is brought in will not be questioned by either side All feel con- fidence in the good judgment and impar- tiality of the court.

 Opinions 0n Free Pass Oaestso,s

There has ben lately a deal of discua- sion among railway men of the free pass system, and the Common Carrier has been printing the views of high railway off, cials on this subect. Here is the latest batch:
 M. T. Ingalls, president Big Four: have voted for years-every time 1t has been up in our associations-in fact I think I was the originator of the proposal that all passes should be abolished. You will find that most managers will go as far as to say that they will abolish all except to railway officials and employees, but that leaves the door open and they will create many officials. I think every railroad should pass their employees over their own road. but if they want to travel over other roaos let them pay their way, and if 1t is on railway business they will be repaid upon vouchers for their ex- penses; and if 1t is not let them pay their way.
 Stuyvesant Fish, president Illinois Gen. tral: am so constituted that I do not believe in giving something for nothing under any circumstances. I think the evil of the pass question is, seriously. this It Is the only way of getting value out of the treasury of the railroad com pany without leaving a voucher. There is no other way known to me-
 MT. Fish would favor law prohibiting the giving of passes or reduced rates in cases of charity, and to the State and na- tional governments, to clergymen and above all to railroad men, employees of his own company. He would not give them to members of Congress or State Legis- latures If he could well refuse.
 MT. Samuel R. Galloway. former presi- dent New York Central, now president American Locomotive Company: Person. ally am opposed to passes. I would cut the whole thing off tomorrow if I had my way. When I went to the New York Cen tral took the passes entirely into my own hands with the exception of those issued by MT. Depew.
