Perhaps little TIM SULLIVAN Of Elgin, III.
isn't so prematurely wicked as the neigh
bors suppose. He is years old and he
smokes and chews tobacco like veteran
and has relish for whiskey and beer
Little TIM told the Judge that what he
liked best was cigars" and the Judge sent
him to home for boys. Dreadful habits
are these ascribed to little TIM, yet he may
be the wisest boy in Christendom. Suppose
he has made up his mind to become the
oldest person in Illinois. Then he has taken
the right steps. When he is lo4 he can say
that he has used tobacco and spirits mod
erately for 100 years" Other centenarians
have said 1t and will say it. TIM can prove
1t by the record when the time comes.

MER, who leads the list of successful racers,
are estimated at N,253: those of COLLECT
at 81 $3.50, and those Of TAYLOR at si.324;
while the winnings of twcnty-nine other
riders vary from si,lio to si2O The total
number Of professional riders who won
cash prizes was forty-nine.
Most Of these men received, in addition
to their prize money, weekly salary, with
all necessary expenses betrayed, Some
Of them are now engaged in the six days

A Subscription for the Expenses Of
the Anthracite Commission.

The oil City Blizzard blows down in
here subjoined:
THE Sun would be greatly pleased to see Presi.
dent ROOSEVELT pay the expenses OF the Coal Strike
Commission on, OF his own pocket"
Not by any means. Mr. RoosEvELT's
personal intervention was prompted by
pure public spirit. THE Sun would sim
cerely regret to see the entire cost of the
experiment, or any considerable part OF
the cost, assessed against the Presidents
private account. The demands upon his
purse are numerous. and, although he
is very generous citizen, he is not SO
rich that tax of this magnitude might
not prove burdensome.
Besides, that is not the way in which
the altruistic enterprises Of modern So
ciety are in actual practice carried out.

charity, philanthropy, or moral, social
and economical amelioration were ex-
pected to become individually response

plished for mankind. The subscription
paper is mighty power.
We are quite willing to inform the Oil
City Blizzard how the financial affairs of
the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission
might be so arranged as to conform to
The Suns notions of propriety.
In the first place, We have no doubt
that every one Of the gentlemen con-
nected with tho Commission and al
ready drawing salaries from the Federal
Treasury would cheerfully forego at
Mr.. RoosEvEIT's request the double
salaries which the Wright Cannon bill
proposes to pay them in spite of the pro-
hibition of existing law. These and the
other members could scarcely be expected
to show themselves less disinterested
than the President and he has never
dreamed Of such thing as extra COM
pensation for the time and thought de-
voted by him to this subject outside his
official province.
There would then remain nothing
but the actual expenses of the Commits
sion-a few thousand dollars probably;
certainly much less than $4,000. This
balance should be supplied by the or
binary method of philanthropic sub
scription. The Presidents name might
properly head the list, in his capacity
of private citizen, providing the figures
set opposite 10 il did not exceed the

moderate sum justly his share. We are
inclined to think that the Hon. CHARLES
FRANCIS ADAMS of Massachusetts is
entitled to the honor of second place.
Then the paper should go to the esti-
mable members OF the National Civic
Federation. and afterward to the general
public
If there remains any deficiency, THE
Sun will gladly join the OH City Blizzard
in helping to meet the same.
How much better is the course here
suggested than to attempt TO make Mr..
ROOSEVELT pay out Of his own pocket
the cost Of his philanthropic experiment
and how vastly better, we may add, than
to raid the United States Treasury and
to take therefrom. without legal or Con-
stitutional warrant, funds raised by tax

said his state had contributed more mem
bers to the association since 1884 than any
other state in the union except Illinois.
He told his hearers that he, too, could
quote to them figures showing the great

wouldn't do it, because people from the
east wouldn't believe him If he did, and,
passed as he was telling them. Said Mr..

Continuing, Mr.. Foshay said education
offered the only cure for anarchy. "You
may execute anarchists he explained,
'but so long as they believe their efforts
to be for the good of humanity, anarchy
will not be harmed, and the death of ite
disciple will seem martyrdom. We must
educate the anarchist out of his beliefs.
