THE FALL OF sPooNER.

John Colt Spooner, the senior senator from Wiscon-
sin. like Cardinal Wolsey, excaim that he once
trod the ways of glory and sounded all the depths and
shoals OF honor"
Like Wolsey. he has fallen, and for very much the
same reason. Wosey served the king Senator Spoon
served the republican party in its State and Nation
al opposition the interests of the people Like the
cardinal the great senator has experienced that
there is nothing in the vain pomp and glory of this
world" BY the State organization of his own party
Senator Spooner has been overthrow.
In the State of Wisconsin, different from the repub
leans in National affairs, the party is altogether
obvious of the interests of the people Certain re-
forms in taxation and in the ballot taxation law that
would affect the corporations, and primary election
law that would to register with more certainty
the will of the people have been demanded by the
of the Badger State for several years Senator
Spooner resoutey set his face against measures
For is not consistency jewel? How the party
which is In National affairs ally of the trusts and
the corporations desert that alliance in home affairs
and favor fad like uniform and equal taxation? What
has the party of spoliaton to do with ballot reform?
But the Wisconsin people have been thoroughly in
earnest in going after what appears to Senator Spoon
strange god of reform and the Wisconsin repub-
can State convention, which met the other day. led
by Governor Robert NJ La Toilette offered to indorse
Senator Spooners candidacy for reelection II he would
pledge himself to stand by the State platform other
wise they would have none of him. Senator Spooner
refused You bring horse to water but you can't
make him drink The waters of reform are waters Of
Marah to Senator Spooner, and bitter gall or
cooquntda of the bitter substances that pucker
the mouth and rasp the tongue One the ablest the
wttiest the eloquent of the republican leaders is
be reegated private life. 1t is his own fault He
forgot the people, but the people in their might
and the day OF reckoning came.

Major Waller did, he must not be censured In pubic
for It, why? Because 1t would be attacking the army
President Roosevelt in dispe all this dema-
eosical absurdty He attacks an army officer to the
extent removing him from his position under circum
stances that involve censure OF his action In so
doing he has attacked the army much as did those
senators in congress who first made the fact OF the
wrongdoing of this public. The president puts
public affairs right basis and shuts the mouth OF
demagogic appeal in so doing.
But look for moment at the reasonableness OF
the position thus established. We live in republic
where all officers accountable to public opinion
II tho president himself does wrong in view OF that
public opinion he is liable to impeachment in office for
1t. The judges of National courts, though they
have life tenure of office during good behavior, may
be reached by this public opinion II they legally defy
IT, Yet set of politicians have arisen who have made
the attempt to hold portion of this government
the armyabove public opinion. Their action has had
the effect to forbid any in the army to be attacked
because they to arragn any man in the army Is
TO attack the army itself we hope we have as much
respect and regard for the army has any yet
shut eyes to the fact that If any portion
the government is to be exempt from criticism. and
even from censure If it is merited the most dangerous
portion to endow with that prerogatve is the army
More governments have been overthrown by cxalting
the army than from any other cause and it has been
especially the agency by which republics have been
brought to end
But we have no fears we have no dislike of the
American army whole. Our apprehension is only
that it may be held sacred from attack that 1t may
be purged of the bad element to which as in the
OF all human organizations, it is liable. But this
is not to be dreaded while we have such presidents
the man who now hlls that office such people as
the American people now are. We doubt very much if
the demagogues themselves are serious in their
effort exalt the army They do not love the soldiers
any tnan do the of Their professions Of
regard for them like everything else in demagog
zeal nature selfish hollow. They may have the
spirit of recklessness If not that of mischief operating
upon them but the material for their reckless purposes
work effectually is lacking"

MR.. BRYAWs BOSTON SPEECH.

Mr.. Bryan's address to the New England Demo
cratic league Boston yesterday is in good temper
He logically contends that there he real party
harmony without concert of view well a con
OF action and he clearly defines the fundamental
differences between the republican and democratic
parties.
His historical review Of the last three campaigns
shows clear conception Of the real merits OF the
tests and he is quite correct in his analysis of the
causes of democratic defeat In 1895 and in 1900
The speech is notable for what it does not say as
well for what it does say There is no advocacy Of
free silver Mr. Bryan shows that the results which he
sought to reach by free coinage have come about
through the larger supply of gold, consequently the
need for free coinage has for the present at least
passed He looks toward the future with open mind
and distinctly announces that issues to be deter
mined by circumstances and conditions.
This is no Ephraim joined to his idol
1t is brave strong man, honest with a honesty
that is in public life earnest eloquent and unwa-
vering in the of the people, whether that cause
lead to victory or to defeat

TAMPERING WITH TRIFT 3
By J. NJ. LEWIS.
GARNET.

Al. Garnet, sweet, I'd sing to Va,
or moonlit fields of purple bloom.
OF summer nights stepped deep in dew
And deeply stepped in sweet perfumes,
I'd touch my harp and evry string e.
Should wake tone you'd love Ia h..-
And ev'ry chord should throb and sing
And echo sweetly to the ear
And echo sweetiy to the heart,
My dark-eyed houri, osy-cheeked.
And we, in song, would walk apart
Meath heavens that were glory-stre,L.,
With the last orihammes of day
Through paths spread for feet alou.
In ways where we alone might stray
Where you would be ALL all my owni
One time artist sketched with skill
What he thought Paradise must be.
There was tinkling, singing rill,
A hiil--a -and-let--me-see
Oh yes two hills and in between
A shaded vale whose slopes were ser
With trees whose leaves wore such ga.
AS never earthborn trees beget
Such was the scene, and over all
A starry-studded heaven smiled;
Why one could hear the mockbird cali
So thoroughly the scene besued
The lockers fancy Round and round
A pathway through the valley wove
Beneath the trees, and gently wound
To seats where twain might talk of Inv.
That was his own conception dear.
OF what he'd have his heaven be
But twoud not suit my taste fear
For, dear, it held not me and thee
And what slopes and asphodel.
Or star-eyed blossoms gemned with de-.
Or all that he might dream or tell
OF heaven to me il void of youi
Tis thus, dear girl, I'd sing to thee
Until the starry vault should rinpl
Sing till the angels, hearing me
Should open heavens gates and singh
Thus would sing to YOU | would
As angels sang when earth began;
Butt don't dare l must be good
For, Garnet I'm a married man.

From this office went to the Sunday
editor Of a great paper. He gave me more
advice. much the same advice as the other
editor had given.
'It you want to write don't try to be a

There nre dozen women successful
writers In Chicago who have never been

write you cin write and that's all there

Is syndicate stun. We don't buy four spe-
cial articles n month. II you can wrice
short stories from twelve TO fourteen hun
dred words In length there is always "a
market for them"
Substantially his statements agreed with
the statements made by the stenograpber
and the other editor. The other woman was
discouraged, She began to feel afraid that
newspaper life was not for her. Remem.
bering Jean Cowgilrs own experiences with
the editors she made one more enrort.
