The news khat President Roosevelt
has not finished his stumping tour, but
is soon to go about making more
speeches, evokes protests from some of
those who are becoming concerned for
the dignity of the republics chief mag
istrate.
Dignity is all very well, but If it
happens to stand in the way of some
thing more substantial, dignity must
take a rear seat.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in 1902, is running for
the presidency of the United States in
1905. Other citizens who have aimed at
that exalted Office have waited until
after the convention met before pub
licly and formally opening the cam
paign, but that is not Mr.. Roosevelt S
way.
This is a free country, and every man
in IL has asright to adopt his own
method of reaching for what he wants.
Therefore criticism of Mr.. Roosevelt's
appearance as a hot campaigner TWO
years ahead of the usual time, while
allowable, should be tolerant and ami
able.
He conoeives, for example, that il will
serve his ambition TO seem TO be at
outs with his party on the trust issue.
Hence the numerous speeches, past and
to come, that are designed to spread
the impression among the people that
he is hostile to the trusts, but which,
by avoiding all mention of near-at-
hand remedies for trust robbery-such
as tariff revision and interference with
railroad observation-disclosures the able
gentlemen who engineer the trusts and
pocket the profits that they have moth
ing 10 fear from him.
Mr.. Roosevelt considers that it would
be a great help to him in his campaign
to have the Republican convention OF
his own state endorse his candidacy. so
he does what is necessary to get the

FRUIT AND DISEASE.

THIS is THE SEASON when house
keepers should be particularly care
full about the food they use If they de-
sire to avoid diseases OF various kind.
Salt Lakers should be specially careful
in view of the winds which. during the
last few days. have blown fine particles
Of dust into every crack and crevice
where IL could ind Judgment. II Is a
generally known fact that much dis
ease is carried by dust. but much Of it
can be prevented If reasonable precau-
lions are taken.
Z. II. Richards OF the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology. in a recent ad-
dress advocated the abolition OF all
open air fruit and vegetable stands for
the reason that they are collectors OF
germs. IAN interesting experiment was
made recently" said Mr.. Richards. "A
pint Of various fruits was picked at
random from one stand. washed. and
the washings analysed. From that pint
Of fruit 100000 900 germs were secured.
All fruits that do not have perfectly
smooth surfaces afford lodgings for
microbes. Papers streWn about the
streets are also dangerous dissemina-
tors OF disease"
The best way TO avoid harmful results
is for housekeepers TO see that every
bit OF fruit and every vegetable is
carefully washed before being eaten.
Neither fruit nor vegetable should be
eaten In any event without being
peeled. Scarlet fever. diphtheria. and,
indeed. almost every form of COM
municable disease have been traced di-
rectly to infected fruit and vegetables.
The matter is one well worthy the at
tention Of Salt Lakers just now.

PEARLS AND DIAMONDS.
French and English Explanation of
Their Relative Value.
Gondon Express.


According to an expert writer in the
Petit Bleu, the heyday of diamonds
has gone, at least on the continent.
Diamonds are succumbing to three
kinds OF evolution:
Q) The evolution Of moral taste. II
is now considered bad form for ladies
and gentlemen TO advertise their
wealth by a display OF diamonds.
CD A scientific evolution. Thanks
to this. diamonds are so wonderfully
well counterfeited that they are no
longer the sign OF wealth. The larger
and the more numerous the diamonds,
the more they are suspected Of being
false.
CD The evolution OF artistic taste.
The diamond admits of hardly any
variation in shape Of composition.
The great continental artists of to-
day in the Jewelry line use gold. silver.
even copper or iron, and produce with
them little marvels of art in which the
diamond hardly ever enters. unless in
very minute and accessory way, in
order to animate" the whole.
The coronation year has not resulted
in the great rush for diamonds that
was expected, and the quieter-looking
but more expensive, pearl has gained
an easy lead"
The manager of Tiffany's told an EX-
press representative recently that the
sale OF diamonds during the past year
had not been very much above the
normal, but the amount of alteration
and repair work. resetting OF stones.
etc. had been extraordinarily great.
and the expert Workmen had been kept
very busy.
The chief work had been in cOnnec-
ton with the repair of family jewels,
while large numbers of Americans
staying in England for the coronation
had had their diamonds reset and pol
ished by English workmen.
The American grand dame was al
ways a large buyer of diamonds, and
was particularly anxious 10 have them
set in the English style.
The reason for the small increase in
the sale Of diamonds was the great
popularity OF the pearl. which had be-
come exceedingly fashionable Of late
months. in spite of its expensiveness.
The usual price for a pearl necklace
ranged from &2o,OOO 10 &4O,OOO, ana
really fine necklace was not TO be had
for less than e75,O00.
Where a society woman could make
good show in diamonds for f2,000,
she could do very little for the same
amount in pearls.
Simplicity was the keynote Of the
fashion in diamonds. and clusters OF
large stones, made into brooches and
pendants and other articles of adorn-
ment. were far more popular and
created a better effect than a large
collection of small diamonds set thickly
together.
The average price for a diamond
brooch with fine large stones was
e2,000, and this article found a rapid
sale
Men used diamonds less today than
they did a short time ago. and liked
less snowy stones for their rings and
scarfpins.

resentatives of certain local issues. the
congressman from the wool-growing
states, for example, by combining with
those from the lumber regions, the
fruit districts and from other parts OF
the country where there are peculiar
industries meeting with foreign COM
petition. can round up a sufficient num-
Der OF votes 10 prevent legislation. This
is called lOg-rolling-a term which, /
believe, was first applied by the late
Philetus Sawyer OF Wisconsin In
pioneer days. when each lumberman
was cutting logs on his own account
they used 10 help each other roll them
into the stream when the spring floods
came And when a frontiersman built
a cabin his neighbors used TO lend him
their strength 10 dc what was beyond
his own. This principle. applied TO
legislation, has been equally effective
and viii be practieed as long as II Is
needed.
Those who have INSTRUCTED reciproci-
ty and tariff revision have received the
encouragement and support OF the
American Protective Tariff league OF
New York, which l described in let
ter last summer. This league is COM
posed Of manufacturers, chiefly in the
east, who would shut out all foreign
competition and build a Chinese wall
around the United States. They argue
that we are sufficient TO ourselves, that
we have the ability to make all We need
and to consume all We make. They
would stile all foreign commerce and
compel everybody TO use home made
goods of every description. Some of
the most prominent members Of the
Protective Tariff league, including Cor
nelius n. Bliss Of New York. who was
one of its founders and its first presi-
dent, are dissatisfied with its policy and
have resigned, but that will not dimin-
ish its activity. II will fight the revi-
sion of the tariff and the ratification
OF reciprocity treaties with and without
reason.
The leaders Of the Republican party
have been in a dilemma as to the prop
er policy to pursue. and. as Mr.. Well
man explained in his dispatch from
oyster Bay, the conference Of the presi-
dent and the group of senators he sum-
moned TO his home concluded that the
subject of tariff revision should be kept
out of the campaign this fall as much
as possible. Two years ago Mr.. Bah
cock of Wisconsin, who is an accurate
judge of public sentiment, advocated
revision by the present congress, but
the party leaders sat upon him with
great force. Mr.. Babcock. being a
loyal Republican. has since kept silent
and the Republican managers hoped
that nobody else would stir up the sub
ject. But the explosion comes from the
other side. Speaker Henderson has
made il impossible to suppress the
growing public sentiment. His action
will compel every Republican candi-
date for congress 10 take one side or
the other and has introduced an i'm
portant and even sensational issue into
the campaign.

"NoTHINa DOING"
A Slang Phrase So Old That 1t Has
Become Classic.
(Brooklyn Eagle.)

brooklyn Eagle)
Some of those who affect the pic
turesque in their language. interlard-
ing their speech with what they sup
pose to be the latest slang phrases,
eschewing accepted and approved Eng
fish for what they think is the latest
up-to-date coinage OF the puriieus,
may be shocked to learn that one of
the latest and most frequently used
phrases is at least fifty years old. and
possibly classic. This phrase is moth
ing doing" Thomas de Quincy, in
writing his paper on the "Knocking at
the Gate in Macbeth" all of fifty years
ago. framed this sentence: ''All other
murders referring TO Macbeth's) look
pale by the deep crimson Of his, and,
as an amateur once said TO me in
querulous tone: There has been abso-
lutely nothing doing since his time. or
nothing that's worth speaking OF. ."
Here the phrase is used In precisely the
same form and in the same meaning
that II is by the professor of slang in
this day.
About the same time, perhaps a few
years later, Emerson said, in one OF
his essays. that youth would have its
fling: that il demanded reach for its
energies and ambitions, and that il
would never be content away from the
centers of industry and population
where nothing is doing" II is the
some phrase Shakespeare uses as
nothing DONE" but in the same sense.

Lear" and ""Othello" Enough is shown
TO prove that the latest slang is, after
all. old and of good use. Hitching this
wagon of slang phrase 20 the stars.
Emerson. De Quincy and Shakespeare.
Ii becomes classic.
1t is a fair deduction TO be drawn
from the De Quincy quotation that the
phrase nothing doing" was slang in
the day of his writing and was used as
such. 1t will be noted that the bril-
liant master OF style did not use the
phrase except as a quotation. From
whom? An amateur murderer. This
amateur laments that in the way of
murders there has been nothing do
ing" since that done by Macbeth worth
speaking of. IL is fair conclusion that
a man who tries his hand at murder
purely as an amateur with an effort
to attain that degree of skill which
he has set UP as standard for himself
is of that cli2I and manner of men
who use slang as a habit of speech.
And IL therefore may be deduced that
De Quincy's amateur was using the
current slang of his day

SECRETARY HAYS PROTEST.

CECRETARY HAYS PROTEST
- against the dumping OF pauper
Jewish immigrants from Roumania
into the United States may or may not
have the desired effect. Certainly It
was time such action was taken. a
reading OF the secretary's message 10
our ambassadors resident In the cap
ltals OF the countries that were parties
10 the treaty OF Berlin In 1873 gives
some startling information about the
treatment to which Jews are subjected
in Roumania.
Conditions there are absolutely intol-
cradle. Jews are Disseminated against
in every conceivable way. They are
not permitted 20 own land they may
rot reside In the rural districts, and
labor are closed 10 them. In those
that are open many CALLING restric-
tions are imposed, one most objection
able being law requiring employers
10 hire at least two Roumanians to
every unprotected alien" or Jew.
Hhe natural result Of these conditions
IS and has been to drive the Rou-
manian Jews 10 an asylum in this
country They come here absolutely
unit 10 become citizens. Few OF them
know how to read or write their own
language; they have no money with
which TO support themselves until they
become accustomed to their new sur
rouIdings. Inevitably. therefore. they
for an indefinite time.
1t was exactly this situation that the
Democratic convention at Provo con-
templated when II placed a plank in
its platform protesting against both
the admission or Chinese laborers and
OF unit European immigrants Says
the platform: And we are also op-
posed 10 the importation OF pauper la
Dor from southern Europe, to which
evil we attribute the present great and
deplorable strike In the anthracite coal
fields Of the east"
The Roumanian Jews are not the
only undesirable immigrants who find
easy access to American shores. II is
a matter OF record that the fierce for
eign element among the anthracite
coal miners Is directly responsible for
nearly. If not quite all OF the lawless-
ness that has been manifested In Penn
sylvania since the strike began. They
are people who win never make and
who never intended 10 make good clti-
zens.
But Secretary Hay cannot stop I'M
desirable immigration with a simple
protest 90 European powers. He knows
that as we'll as anybody else. They
may heed his protest or they may not.
That IS a matter for the individual
powers to determine as they see fit.
The United States will have no casus
belli against any OF them if no atten-
tion whatever is paid 20 the secretary's
note.
The proper way TO reach the immi-
grafton question, and the only proper
way. is. as the Democrats suggest, by
more stringent immigration laws. No
constitutional amendment is necessary
10 bring this about This republic has
the power 10 exclude any immigrants
Il may desire. and it cannot make a
better beginning than by insisting,
first. on a reasonable educational test,
and, second, that every immigrant
shall show himself able to support
himself from the time he lands.
