Senator Lodge of Massachusetts is to
be, to some extent, the mentor OF
President Roosevelt. So far, however,
there is nothing to indicate any such

expected to have the sanction of Sena-

If the first gentlemen of the land
are suckpotent factors in the fixing of
fashions as they are credited with be-
ing, then the cruel habit of docking
the tails of horses must quickly pass
into oblivion. President Roosevelt likes
to see long, graceful tails on his horses,
and will have no other in his stables
in Washington. He has just bought
three Kentucky thoroughbreds for his
carriage, and each has flowing, black
tail reaching almost to the ground.
King Edward also favors the long-tail-
ed horse and will have no other kind
in his ceremonial professions.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says:
There is good reason to believe that
a canal treaty which will be unobjec-
tionable to the aggressive element in
the Senate has been practically ar
ranged by the governments of the
United States and Great Britain. Some
English newspapers are complaining
that their government has surrendered
everything demanded by the Senate
year ago. The German newspapers are
also emphasizing this point with a
view of humiliating John Bull. The
fact seems to be that the men who
direct the foreign policy of Great Brit
ain have decided that the friendship
of the United States must be preserved
at any sacrifice. Hence they have
agreed to let us have our way about
the canal. There is not much of sac
rifice involved in this concession. 1t
is simply common sense and practical
diplomacy"
The Nashville American (Dem.) says:
The Republican party has been in
power four-ffths of the time during
the past forty years. During Republ-
can administrations, with their high
tariffs and financial legislation, we have
had disastrous financial panics, dull
times, the greatest strikes and labor
disturbances which ever occurred in
this country, the greatest number of
tramps. the largest armies Of unem-
ployed and general and discouraging
depression of business from one end of
the country to the other. Why was not
the Republican party to blame for
such conditions, II 1t is entitled to
the credit of the periods of good times
which have occasionally occurred dur
ing the thirty-two years of it's rule?"
The Indianapolis Sentinel (Dem.)
says: 1T is significant that when
President Roosevelt asked Booker r.
Washington for the names Of Southern
men who can be relied upon to do the
best thing for the negro under the cir
cumstances he received the names OF
Democrats. The fact is the average
Republicans of the South. like his CO.
worker In the North. is only interested
in the negro when election day rolls
around"

Kitchener seems to have struck the
worst streak of luck in his career. Not
only are the Beers making him send
frequent messages of regret from
South Africa, but it is said that he
has recently received from England a
regret" message that means more to
him than the loss of a battle. 1t was
from Lady Helen Stewart, daughter of
the Marquis of Londonderry, who was
to have become his bride upon his re-
turn from the Boer war. Whether it
was the decline of Kitchener's prestige
that caused the lady to change her
mind is matter of conjecture.

Before he died at the South Chicago
Hospital John Schumacher, IL years OLD,
living at Berlnton, Ind, told his father,
who had been summoned to his bedside, q
strange tale of being robbed and thrown
under the wheels Of Il Baltimore and ONO
excursion train near Brinston, Ind. The
boy told his father that two men mad
robbed him on the platform of car while
he and his cousin Jacob were passing
from one car to another, and that after
taking 80 cents, ali he had, they threw
him off the train. Then, the boy said.
when he attempted to Chamber on again,
they kicked him in the head and he fell
beneath the wheels. The story is being
investigated by Supt. Stuart Of the Baltl-
more and Ohio Railroad A fact which
IS puZzlng the officials is that the cousin
OF the dead boy, Jacob Schumacher, de-
clares that he and his cousin were set
upon by four men in uniform, and that
he believes them to have been some of
the train crew. The conflicting state
ments Of the dead boy and his cousin
leave the railroad authorities somewhat
