DisobeyIng Ordors Again

The democrats of Pennsylvania and
Virginia wisely refrained from the
practice common To the party in the
years from 1897 To- 1900, inclusive. OF in
dorsing the Chicago platform. In
Pennsylvania nothing was said about
the Chicago platform or the candidates
who stood upon it and who forced its
reaffirmation at Kansas City. In Vir-
ginia. while the Chicago platform was
ignored. there was a pleasing mention
of MIR. Bryan's name as among the
great democratic leaders of the past.
This action by the democrats of two
important states is noteworthy not so
much for the reason that it favors one
wing or another OF the democratic
party as because it signifies a radical
change in the motives and inspiration
of the whole party. A few weeks ago
Mr.. Bryan issued a sort OF command To
democrats everywhere hat nobody
should be chosen as a delegate to a con-
Eention. nominated for office or appoint
ed to a committee, VIVA was not conn
mitted for all time to the Chicago plat
form. His assumption in this matter
was u~nwarranted n IL the action OF
democrats in convention appears in any
respect to be lacking in courtesy to him
he has only himself to thank for it.
Democratic leadership never has con-
ferred diCtatorial powers Upon anybody.
and the manner in which the party In
its various conventions is refusing TO
be ~dragooned is highly creditabie to IL.

The Press ms an Educator.

Today the newspaper completes with
seminaries, colleges and universities as
an educator, with courts as a detector, ex-
poser and %punisher Of crime, with fash
ion as q regulator Of manners and with
the church as O modi6er Of morals.
Through its advertisements and reports
of transactions and markets, from the
price Of garden truck to the plans and
achievements Of the cosmopolitan fnan-
ciers Of the exchanges and b~ourses, it is
the chief reliance Of commerce. 1t can
also nullify the acts Of legislatures and
the decisions Of courts by creating q
sentiment inimical to their enforcement,
and it ever assumes to elect presidents,
to dethrone kings, to declare war and tc
c~riticise and direct the movements Of
armies and navies.
Speaking generally, what b press does
for the public, including the church, in
the dissemination of information, in uni
flying public sentiment and arousing it
and bringing it to bear to remedy wrongs,
expose abuses and to dreg into light in
sidious vices which perish when known
abroad, in concentrating public attention
on UNPUBLISHED crime and revealing the
fitness or un6tness OF candidates for
Office cannot be overestinsted.-Dr. /.

TattOOinC II Girls Eve

A most astonishing operation has just
been performed at q London hospital.
This rs no less thar the tattooing of a
young woman's eye which had lost its
color by disease, but which has, mainly
through the operation Of tattooine, been
brought back to its normal shade.
The patient was 10 years old and of
good appearance, save hat the left eye
was colorless and was d~isfgured by a
number Of salmon patches on the cornea.
After her admission diagnosis proved
that she was suffering from q ~cicatriX "a
sort of SCARF which had originated in the
ris-the colored circle of the eye-and had
almost wholly replaced the eornea-
The patient was plucky enough to sug-
gest the taking out of the eye and the re
placing Of it with a glass one, but the
doctors refused. The patches were cut
away and replaced with bits Of cornea
taken from the eye of q rabbit In a
few days the transplanted pieces united
and the appearance Of the eye was much
improved.
But the operation was not yet quite
complete. Very fine tattooing needles
were specially made, channeled for the
reception Of q fluid which was skillfully
conveyed to places in the iris and in the
cornea, with the result that both eyes DOW
hook very much ~alike.-Stray Stories.

The Pastors Dfdactic Umbrella.

The dignity Of a certain Sunday school
picnic was demoralized the other day be-
fore the scholars and teachers were well
out Of town. 1t was arranged that the
majority Of the scholars should 60 to the
grove on a trolley car and that the pas
tor of the flock, several teachers and the
baskets should follow in a wagon hired
for the occasion.
This suggestion was followed out, and
the procession started auspiciously. The
wagon was a tri1e in front. and as the
trolley car passed it the pupils of the Sum
day school saw that that made them fear
to look again. Their pastor was sitting
on the seat beside the driver, his broad
bfimmed hat on his knee, his hand on the
support Of q gaudy, yellow umbrella that
shaded the seat, and on the umbrella was
this inscription:
Drink Firewood Whisky"
It was too late for the ~scandalized pu-
pills to expostulate. They were whisked
by in short order, and SO it was not until
he reached the picnic grounds that the
good man knew what strange device the
banner bore which he had upheld fos
FIVE miles.
When the party returned, the sun was
still in the heavens, but the umbrella was
furled and carefully tucked under the seat
to prevent q scandal.-Baltimore News

SThere Is Nothing IN Ito

From unexpected sources comes Of
tentimeS confirmation strong as holy
writ to the support of a proposition
in morals or ethics. Bob FItZsimmonS,
who has lately climbed from h prize
ring to the lecture platform, in a re-
cent lecture, said: 81 never see a young
man dissipating but 1 feel like taking
him aside and telling him that he is
wasting his strength and squanderinS
his brain power and storing UP for him
self a legacy of disappointment and
suffering. 1t is not a question of NOR
ais. 1t is a question OF self-interest-
Life is like a sparring match. A man
needs to be in the finest possible condi-
ton to have any chance Of victory"
Never did the ex-priZefighter say a
truer thing h the foregoing. 1t is a
fact that "a man needs to be in the
finest possible condition to have any
chance of victory in the battles of life.
Occasionally the man with massive in
tellect and wonderful powers of endur-
ance may carry the handicap and still
win the race. but for the common run
of men it is essential that every facul-
ty should be kept trained and on the
alert. Opportunity knocks once at least
at the door of every man.; If he is lis
tening for the signal and prepared to
take advantage of his chance in life,
he succeeds; If he is indolent n sleep
ing, or u~nprepared, opportunity passes
him by.
Great corporations in this country
are refusing t. take in their employ
ment young men who d~issipate. With
them. as with Mr.. FitZsimmons. II is
not a question OF sentiment or OF NOR
ais. but of plain business. The young
man who accumulates a stock of bad
health and misunderstanding habits has
no place in the economy Of the present.
For a few months or a few year he
may succeed in holding his position;
ultimate dismissal and failure in life
are sure to come.
Colonel Jack Chinn, Of Kentucky, who
stopped drinking a few months since,

he said: There is nothing in it."-Sa-

Hang the Train Robbers

We nave long believed and contend
ed that the crime of train robbery
should be punished with death, upon the
that dastardly crime. When desperate
men start out to hold up a train and
rob the express car and the passen-
gers, they start out with the determi-
nation to commit murder or any other
crime if necessary to carry out their
They are murderers at heart,
and they should be treated as SUCH
AS an illustration, we point to the re-
port sent out last night by the Associ-
ated Press of the train robbery in
Texas. The train was stopped and the
engineer covered with pistols in the
hands of the robbers. They were held
under cover while other members of the
gang went to the express car and or
dered the messenger to open il. The
messenger declined and they threaten
ed to blow him up with dynamite. He
still dechw2d and they did reckleSsly
use dynamite in breaking into the car
Having entered the car they blew the
safe open with the same explosive and
rifed it. Then they got hold of the mall
pouches and rified them. Having COM
pleted that part of the Job they went
into the passenger coach and, carrying
a small sack with them, compelled the
passenger to give up their money n
valuable. Having stolen everything
in sight they still hung around he car
and laughed at the passengers and ter
rified them, and finally when their car
nivaI of crime and ghoulish glee was
ended, they jumped or their horses n
rode away. They beat one man and

Fortunately these desperate chaps
have been captured. and we say that
they should be made an example. of.
The law is not supposed to be revenge
full, out in order to the protection Of
society it is necessary that highland
ed crime of this character be punished
in such a way as to deter others from
attempting it. 1t is impracticable for
trains which go across the continent
to be always prepared to meet an at
tack of this character, and so the only
protection that the travelling public has
in such cases is the protection of the
law. We believe that these train rob-
bers in Texas should be hanged by the
neck. every one of them. Train rob-
berry will not cease until train-robbers
are dealt with in this way.-Richmond
