THE Examiner gives the following
cure for stammering, which it says
thousands have paid from $50 to 500
for knowing. 1t is infallible, and sim.
ply for the stammerer to mark the
time in his speech, just as it is ordi-
narily done in singing. He is at first
to beat on every syllable. 1t is best at
the first lesson to read some simple
composition, like one of David's
psalms, striking the finger on the knee
at every word, then read in a newspa-
per, beating each syllable. You can
beat time by striking the finger on the
knee, by simply hitting the thumb
against the forefinger or moving the
large toe in the boot. We doubt if
the worst case OF suffering could con-
tinue long provided the sufferer would
read an hour or two every day, with
thorough practice of this simple art,
observing the same in his conversation.

HOosEvEIT Is Nor So STRENUOUS"
Now.--Teddy, it is said, has arrived at
the single hand-shake degree OF en-
thusiasm in administration of the ex-
ecutive Office. At first it WAS a grasp

Presidential digits, with an ELUSIVE
Pm glad to see YOU" with an accent
on the glad. Now one hand performs
the greeting service and an omission of
the clause which accompanied it is
apparent. Evidently the President
has learned from experience to know
that he is not always glad to meet
with mankind, and awaits expression
Of his JOY until the guest is invited to
dine or sit on the back porch. With
all the energy and activity the execu-
tive is accredited to possess, it is noted
that he is more and more leaning
upon Secretary Cortelyou to perform
the perfunctory duties of President.
Whether, however, it is lapse of
nerves or a rest for the brain that has
caused the change, one can only sur
missed.

II he is inclined to be honorable and

Political Drift.

Ex-senator John l.. Wilson lately
made one of his characteristic speeches
to che residents of the Windy City
Chicago; characteristic to our people
at least, for we always know Just what
he is going to say. From there he
went To Washington City, to "iix up
taiugS," a. he remarked to a friend at
Spokane, upon bis return home. ave
will now see" he declared, whether
or not Croker will be appointed Col
lector at Port Townsend. We will see
whether man will be appointed U. S.
District Attorney who betrayed Me, in
my Senatorial fight. As the agent of
Jim Hill, in charge OF matters politi.
ca! in this State, I will see that Jesse
Fry cannot be appointed to that Of
fee"
Jesse surely ran up against a buzz
saw when he crossed the path of Hills
agent, and he should have known bet
ter, Tor is not the great P.-L. the prop.
erty OF Hill. and is not it under the
control OF Hills agent, the redoubtable
John l.. Wilson?
Wilson is very chary Of compliments
for Senator Foster. He remarked
that the Senator was a "white chip
in Washington, which translated from
sporting parlance is equivalent to say.
ing that he cuts very narrow swath
when matched against really big men,
like himself, and that he will make
very little Roadway in dispensing pat
ronage that is not approved by him.
1t would seem that he is correct, if

Governor ,n.cnis to continue the fight
he began on the railroads las, winter.
and that this will help him to reach
the Senate next winter. 1t is said
that his game is to keep the railroads
in the condition that they will be glad
te see him succeed Turner, in order to
get him out of the executive chair,
and let the railroads put man into
that office who will serve their purpose
as we'll as the late incumbent. Ger
tain it is that the present executive
must continue to fight the railroads,
if he remains in the State, but having
made no record he may conveniently
drop into their support without en-
barrassment.
Such is the gossip in the Republican
camp OF the political! situation at the
present time.

SMOKE PREVENTION IN CLEVELAND.

Cleveland's experience in abolishing smoke has
reached that stage where certain. The
history of the dsappontments which have been suf-
fered by the publicspted citizens who have fought
for better conditions through period extending
many years are similar to those endured by every
manufacturing municipality which has tried to clear
the atmosphere.
In the current number of the American Machinist
Professor c. II. Benjamin of the Case School of Ap-
piled Science relates of the victories dirt
which have been gained by the vigilance Of the men
in charge of the work in Cleveland. The laws Of
Ohio have been amended that the legality of the
statutes and ordinances on the subject is no longer
questioned.
1t is well to understand how the density of smoke
is measured by the Cleveland authorities. The in
spector is the sole Judge A chimney which sends
forth heavy black smoke of the variety is
sidered the standard Of depravity in percentage

WHY DID NOT MR.. KNOX REPLY?

WHY DID NOI NIX. hNOA REPL1!
Republicans can but weakly defend United States
Attorney General Knox for his absolute failure to
ply to the question asked by joint committee of
the Antitrust League and the knights of Labor
garding action to be taken against the unlawful
trusts.
The point issue is not that of whether the At
r0rney General of the United States should prosecute
the trusts leave prosecution to the various States
of the Union. The joint committee whose letter has
remained unanswered by the Attorney General since
September last asked Mr.. Knox what his conclu-
sions in regard the petition requesting action
by the Department of Justice against certain unlaw
full trusts"
Nor is the Republican contention justified which
takes the position that the Attorney General should
not be required to place himself on record in this
matter. Mr.. Knox himself did not dare to take this
position. He wrote to the joint committee of the
Antitrust League and the Knights OF Labor Il
will examine these papers with at early
date possible and communicate to you my conclu-
sion" Though the Attorney Generals letter
written September IL, 1901 he has not yet "com-
muncaed his conclusion the vital point at issue.
The joint committee of the Antitrust League and
the Knights of Labor have to complain of
United States Attorney General Knoxs neglect of
his plain duty. The matter concerning which they
asked for information is of paramont Importance
in this country The Attorney General knew that
was his duty to answer the question asked by tho
joint committee. He testified to this knowledge Of
duty in his letter of September II, 1901. And there
after he paid further attention to the performance
of his duty, for which the joint committee is
again calling the Attorney Generals attention to
matter. Why did Mr.. Knox remain silent? Why is
he so 10th to 'hs conclusion with regard tn
the petition requesting action by the Department Of
Justice against certain unlawful trusts" which peti
ton was filed with him by the joint committee of TIE
