the affair from the knowledge Of the

murder had only been thwarted by the
quick wit Of one of his guards, might

In truth. President Castro hesitates
to such an extent that there is no un-

ever harbored an intention TO make war
on Colombia. The latter with its best

two battles with the invaders and have
driven them back over the line utterly

A Roosevelt Boom in kansas.

The Roosevelt boom is said 20 be
spreading. II Is no longer confined to
the sparsely settled Rocky Mounain re-
gion. but is reported as having extend
ed into Kansas. Some people may be
inclined TO think that the endorsement
Of the Sunfiower State viii settle the
aspirations Of any Presidential candi-
date 10 whom the endorsement is given
and indeed there is much in the recent
history Of Kansas which gives a super
ficial support 20 this view. The State
has been the home of GrangeTism. Pop
ulism. Mary Leaseism, Mrs. Nationism
and almost every other imaginable
'.ism.' including Republicanism: and
the wilder and more far-fetChed the DO
htical chimeTa, the greater has been
the enthusiasm over il. The people
have gone for il with a rush that moth
ing could check until the momentum Of
the movement was lost through the
physical and mental exhaustion Of
those engaged in il.
However. this Kansas boom on be
half Of Teddy should not be under
rated or contemptuOUsly beliJJled be
cause OF any idiOsyncracies that have
marked the course Of Kansas thought
II must be remembered that there was
never anything wrong with the States
Repubiicanism. True. it was about as
extreme ana unreasoning as Nation
ISM but that only made il the more ad-
mirable with the leaders OF the party.
A boom there for Roosevelt will carry
a little weight in the rest Of the coun-
try. although 1t is beginning so early
that IL is quite likely to spend its force
and break prematurely Such things
are not uncOnmo I'm Kansas.

fighting in the Spanish war. perhaps
the splendid" civil government OF New
York under the joint administration OF
Thomas c. Plat and Governor Roose-
welt has aroused the enthusiasm Of
Kansas Republicans, and possibly the
boom is in the nature Of a revolt against

The Ahuses of Phntnrrnnhr.

The old proverb that figures viii not
lie has been replaced by another one.
which AYERS that the statistical lie is
the worst falsehood recorded in history.
When photography first became known
20 the public there were people who be
came eloquent about the truthfulness
OF the great sun in heaven, but il ap-
pears from recent developments that
the suns truthfulness, like that Of
mathematics. depends considerably
upon the personality Of his manager.
L is reported that some extraordinary
fabrications IN the li-e Of photography
have been perpetrated at seaside re-
sorts, for the profit Of the artist and
the qualification Of vain people The
latter are usually young men and
women who want swimming I-puta-
lions. but are not willing 10 hunt for
them in the water. where such game is
usually caught The photographer
poses a girl on a post about two feet
above the water. in the attitude Of one
about 10 dive. Then he makes a second
picture Of her in the act of diving.
When he comes To- develop the picture
ne adds about thirty feet 10 the height
Of the post, and possibly several hun
dred per cent 10 the young lady's swim
ming reputation. At the seaside re-
sorts, however. such pictures are not
regarded with any great seriousness.
A similar hoax was perpetrated two or
three years ago by photographers who
posed riders on horseback on level
ground. and then tilted the picture and
invented q sky line so that Il would
appear that the rider was performing
extraordinary feats Of horsemauship.
