 Several incidents have occurred of late to show that Roosevelt has much more D ames blc epidcrmis than he once claimed credit for, and 1t may be. as The Dis- patch suggests, that he Is conscious of a growing weakness. and hopes to carry 1t off by increased bravado and assumed indifference to the opinions of others There have of late ybeen such decided symptoms of revolt on tine part of some of the strongest men in his party that 1t Is perhaps not surprising that he should throw off some of the cloak of conserva- tism which he at first assumed and show the real broncho-busting style which fits him best and is natural to him. The more performances of that sort he indulges In the more he weakens himself.

declaration that no boom will be sprung for any man for a nomination to State ofnces from the State headquarters.
 It is in the mind of Senator Hill to of candidates from among the people who know them best It would undoubtedly please him to have the names of half q dozen eligible aspirants presented to the State Convention for the nomination for Governor. He has not said so. but his ir- timate friends say that he would like a general discussion among Democratic voters and Democratic newspapers of the merits and qualifications of number of men of good standing, undisputed Democ- racy. and the proper mental equipment to lead great fight.
 The idea that he does uesire such a controversy over the section of the proper candidates is taking hold in sev- eral parts of the State and will. 1t Is believed, encourage the presentation of the names of men who have never been conspicuously allied with any one fac- ton of the party.
 The change from the recent methods of arranging cut-and-dried programs for State conventions and the. selection of a candidate for Governor weeks In advance. sec sE in some degree to have inspired something approaching the old time en- thusiasm with which Democrats prepared to enter campaign
 The opening of the State headquarters apparently has done much to increase the faith of Democrats througnout the State in sthe improved cHdHceS VI theh party this year.
 Men who in campaigns ten years ago were conspicuous for their activity in party work are beginning to reappear, and they arc bringing with them younger and more enthusiastic men, As a matter Of fact there is a good deal more interest manifested in the coming cam paign three months ahead of convention time than there has been as many weeks in advance of such an event for the last six or seven years.
 , The Democratic newspapers through- out the State presumably in response to an imperative demand of their readers for political literature. have begun to inquire for campaign documents anead of the usual period. Senator Hill ana Mir. Campbell however, have decreed that no campaign matter be distributed until the representatives of all interests and factions of the party have been brought together to discuss .and approve of the sort of literature that should be sent out
 Hundreds of suggestions have been received concerning the preliminary or- ganization of the campaign, issues to be raised, the printed matter to be distrib- uted and the method to be followed in conducting the State convention as to insure absolute impartiality and free dom of speech.

Society Perquisites.


 The town of Wichita, Kas., which has been the scene of so many extraordinary occurrences, has lately been torn up again over the unprecedented action of the wife Of one Of it's leading citizens. The lady in question gave large party, and when her guests dispersed she found that her best umbrella was missing. She suspect ed certain woman of being the guilty party, If removing umbrellas without ask ing the consent of the temporary owner can be called guilt. She went to the mag istrate and asked for d warrant for her arrest, but was informed that she must furnish proof of the larceny. This, of course. she could not do, but she was not to be put off that way. She took out search warrant for every one of her guests and a constable served it upon the entire list, but her umbrella was not found, and. in addition to her loss, she has infuriated all her guests by the con- stables invasion of their premises.
 The most remarkable feature of this af- fair Is the Iady's ignorance of prevailing customs in good society. Wichita is not of such recent birth or so remote from civilization that even the most secluded of its population should not have known that 1t Is no offense to take an umbrella whenever one needs it, and that title ciety one still retains position. no matter how many umbrellas he or she may have carried off Some foolish persons even sew into the silk, This umbrella was
  it appear to the public that the umbrella does not belong to the one carrying it. but 1t makes no difference. The posesSor elevates it as unblushingly. as if he had bought and paid for it. In fact the steal ing of umbrellas long ago came to be re- garded as permissible. and it is not in good form for the original owner to ex- press annoyance, much less resentment. when he finds 1t gone.
 The Wichita hostess. were she in the swim, would know that not only is 1t permissible for guests to take umbrellas but that 1t is considered no breach of decorum1 to help themselves to small pieces of bric-a-brac and plate. and that the collection of spoons at dinner parties has become a fad. Umbrellas. spoons, cups. and small vases are now legitimate society plunder. The only question yet undecided is to what extent clothing can be considered as such. It is generally conceded that gloves and handkerchiefs may be taken without criminal responsi- bility. At present there is considerable difference of opinion whether the taking of sealskin and other valuable wraps can be considered a feminine prerogative.

rHE LrrTLE MREpEI. ;,

Referring to the case of the little girl fin a Kentucky school who refused to sing Marching Through Georgia" when her class sang 1t by order of the teacher, The New York Post says:
 There is sense, of course, in which it makes very little difference whether Marching Through Georgia" 10 kept alive CT not, but there are real argu- Ynents which support the rebelli 1us little Kentucky girl. If Shermans march through Georgia was glorious to the North, it was equally humiliaung to the South, and while we are boosting that there Is no longer any North or any South it might be we'll to do something as substantial as putting this song away upon the shelf.
 That thesfittle girl was right, we think no true Southerner will deny. While dis cipline in schools should be maintained. there are limits beyond winch pupils should not be expected togo, and this was one of them. If the teacher had no more sense of fitness and propriety than to require the children to join in a song which could but outrage the feelings of Southerners, then the pupils should have refused obedience.
 If Northern people feel that Sherman's g march was glorious, they are welcome to their opinion. We could give columns of reasons why there was no glory in it, but that would be useless wasteso time. Each section can have it's own opinion of that event, but there is no excuse for trying to force the opinions. of one sec- ton onto the people of the other. If a schoolgirl from Massachusetts should be required to join in singing wen Hang Old Abe to a Sour Apple Tree" she might refuse with propriety, and we should have no word of censure for her. The truth is that seetional songs of that nature have no place in the schools of the country, and the one in question was particularly inappropriate in a Southern school-room The little miss in Louisville rebelled. as she should have done.

MIR. CLEVELAND MAY SPEAK.
Will Be Asked to Make Some Speech
 es in New York.

From Albany to New York World ~
 Ex-President Grover Cleveland, who made his reappearance in politics at the Tilden Club the other night, after ten one Of the star speakers of the coming Democratic campaign in New York State.
 After the Tilden Club meeting. MT. Cleveland, in conversation With eX-Sen- ator Hill and other Democratic leaders, expressed his willingness to assist in every way possible his party to reclaim the State of which he was once Governor. He did not wish the fact generally known. but to number of his friends he has expressed the belief that with proper management of the campaign the State can be carried by the Democrats.
 If he remains of the same mind after the State convention he will be asked to make a number of speeches, not only in New York but in other localities. The campaign managers say there is every reason to believe that he will consent to do so. Other distinguished men. rep resenting factions which have disturbed the unity of the party since 1896. will also be invited to make speeches during the campaign.
 A convention of the old-time sort. un- restricted by the mandate of any boss, with a free fighting ground for as many candidates for State office as may elect to enter the list and perfect liberty of speech, are some of the features of the Democratic program which ex-Senator Hill. Chairman Campbell, of the State Committee, and other leaders are now considering. ..,,
 This program has been suggested to county leaders throughout the State and has met with universal approval
 . The World correspondent can state with every assurance of accuracy that Senator Hill MT. Campbell, MT. Mack, Mir. Mclaughlin or any other of the leaders powerful in various parts of the State have not considered the advisa- 'bility of nominating any particular man for Governor. There has been no discus sion of candidates for any State office. There is the highest authority for the

Like the Naugatuck Today.

Philadelphia Ledger.
 The contrast between the new Pennsyl- vania special and the perfectly appointed road way over which 1t courses with such astonishing speed, and the primitive trains that accomplished what was then regarded as a marvel of speed, is very good and scarcely realizable by the young CT generation of railroad travellers. Will liam Bender Wilson in his history of the Pennsylvania Railroad after quoting the quaint report of a superintendent Of trans portaton and motive power in 1886, in which attention was called to allegations concerning the unnecessary stoppage of trains at hotels along the road, says that the report draws attention to the fact that at that time the customs of the ordinary turnpike road which allowed the stage coach to stop at the first, in fact, every tavern, to permit the passengers to re- fresh themselves. were carried out in the movement of passengers over the State road The trains stopped at the taverns, which were the only stations along the line of the road, and the engi- neer. fireman and passengers all hastened to the bar room to pressure liquor, the train waiting until the thirst of all was appeaSed."

Another Trust.

Chicago Chronicle.
 pr MacArthur, pastor of the Cavalry Baptist Church, New York, is evidently the optimistic man of the century.
 Seeing the almost universal tendency toward gigantic enterprises and trusts, be predicts a great love trust in which All the nations of the earth will be united, having the United States and Great Brit ain as the dominant factors.
 As yet there is little evidence of this Hove trust" Our country and Great Britain both have been and still are ab- sorbed in grabbing what seems to them the greatest financial advantages. They have given little thought of care to al truistic sentiments.
 Even if America and England should establish a love trust it is doubtful wheth- CT Germany and Russia would enter into it under the leadership which pr. Mac Arthur names. Russia is not to be de- ceived by any alluring bait. and Germany Is always distrustful of England-as she has reason to be. z
 The millennium is not so near at hand as the prophets and optimists predict, As yet not even simple justice is in sight. let alone any thought of mercy or love between nation and nation.

AN AID TO sELF-HELP.

Some of the people of the South have feared that outside aid to education would be offered as a charity. Such Is not the case The correct principles are clearly stated m The Worlds Work. which says: ."The principles that have been carefully worked out by experience and have been demonstrated as scientific in this whole matter of educational aid are these:
 0) It is worth while to help those who help themselves, and only those.
 tz) It is best worth while to help the public that helps itself, because by build ing up public sentiment permanent in- vestment Is made In democracy.
 These simple principles clear the at- mospbere and open the way to work Of incalculable value. In the first place, there is no place left for mendicancy, nor condescension, nor for missionary work The taint of charity Is removed.
 It has been proved over and over again that in such communities, whatever be the cause of their backwardness, great and lasting service may be done by help ing the public that helps itself. However poor the public may be. if 1t will tax it. self to a reasonable limit. such taxation opens the door for help. It cannot or will not provide good schools, and poor schools are little better than none. But if the fund raised by taxation in such community can be judiciously supple mented always in proportion to the effect of the eommunity--by this method real help can be given that it is legitimate both to give ard to receive It makes no paupers It carries no insults. It is not personal and it Is not offensive. It is contribution to Democracy. and not to individuals or private enterprises The money is distributed through public chan nels solely for the public good. It trains the tax payer; it trains the local board of administration; it builds up public opinion: and it thus bears fruit genera ton after generation.

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole neid of newspaperdom witch comes under it's notice. and one of these signs Is the mystic symbol t0l denoting s'eoiden," which stands for high quality, and Is thus explained:
 sAdvertisers value this paper more for the ciass and quality of its circulation than for the mere number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with single sym sol; but there Is . higher grade. according to this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY, and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL [00I to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this oubie golden symbol T0OI and is the only aper 50 distinguished in this section of the south.

Lamont and Odell.

New York Evening Press.
 The use of the name of Daniel $. La mont for the Democratic nomlnation for Governor is sign that probably he will not get it. Mir. Lamont is secretly and seriously. talked of as d compromise Hill and Cleveland candidate for the Presi- dency in 1904. To run him for Governor this fall and to elect him would, of course, give him the strongest possible claims to the nomination for President two years later. Also, however, to run him against Governor Odell and have him beaten would dispose of his Presidential chances absolutely; and it Is not likely for the race of 1904 would assume so per- ilous q risk as to run him against Gov ernor Odell this fall to acquire the repJ- tation of not being able to carry his owll State

rs HE GETTING REcKLEssp

It is exceedingly difficult for the Presi- dent to open his mouth without getting one foot tangled in it, at least when he makes a public speech. Ills speech at Arlington would have been discreditable in a crossroads political ranter, much less a President of the United States. Last week at Harverd he delivered an address much of which was as inappro- priate to the place and the occasion as was his sectional harangue at Arlington. Instead of being a literary and schol- astic address, befitting the time and the circumstances, 1t was largely political harangue devoted to the defence of some of his political friends. To say the truth, they may need the defence, but that was not the place for it. His defence of Sec retary Root, especially. was decidedly out of place, and even a newspaper as i'm tensely Northern as The Manchester (N. H.) Union says of it:
 Secretary Root, on the other hand, is fortunate in having one man who will stand up for him and his works. He has fooled the public and held back the truth. The nation will not join President Roose- welt in standing up for hlm and his works As Secretary of War, he is the choice of the President. and the Pres- dent may well be loyal to one of the few men surrounding hin. who are loyal to him. He has lost the confidence of the people, however. and President Roosevelt is losing it, partly because of his willing ness to stand up for him and his works In this case hIs loyalty savers of stub bornness.
 The Richmond Dispatch regards the speech as defence of the speaker him self and adds:
 It affords another formidable support to the contention that the administra-, tion is aware that it's popularity is rap idly waning, that 1t is on the defensive

Want the Money.
RNatOu Herald

In a recent interview the Australian Premier declared that to his mind the greatest objection against an imperial tariff federation with the United Kingdom was the fact that the colonies needed the money brought in by the customs du- ties to furnish them with sufficient reve- nue to carry on the government depart ments. This is. of course. point which must be always be considered in regard to a tariff union between all the colonies and the British empire. In Great Britain the people have become accustomed to di- rect taxation. but in the colonies indirect taxation is still the popular way of rais- ing the revenue, and as the bulk of col onial imports comes from Great Britain, to place such imports on the free list would mean great cutting down in re- ceipts This would have to be made up by an increase in the direct taxes, which might be an extremely unpopular move in many Of the colonies.
