"elg RlIrs" Little Joke

big Bill" Craig, who was killed in
the trolley accident while he was try
ing to protect the life Of the President,
to whom he was devoted, was stationed
outside Christ Church, Oyster Bay one
Sunday morning with two other men
OF the Secret Service. Craig had served
for years in the British army and was
thoroughly familiar with the Episcopal
service. He hummed the music Of the
chants and the words OF the hymns.
When it came time for the offertory,
and the plate was being passed around,
big Bill" said:
Let us take up a collection among
ourselves and each man do his own
part. Let each fellow hand the other
fellow nickel"
When the nickels had been ex-
changed and no one was any richer
through the ceremony, Craig slipped
into the rear of the church, where he
could not be seen by the President, and,
as a vestryman passed, put a quarter
on the plate.
The comrades OF the big Scot, whose
business it IS to know what is happen
ing, had spotted Craig, and, though
they said nothing. initiated his ex-
ample Christ Church was seventy-dve
cents richer because of the big mans
little joke.

The Railway Beautiful

From the New York Independent.
The work done by our railroads has
been of great value because so widely
Those who travel are car
ried from one spot OF beauty to an
other In some cases the whole line OF
the road has been improved by planting
choice shade trees and ornamental
shrubs. One Of our Western roads IL
lined for several hundred miles on both
sides with superb chestnuts and ever
greens. The removal Of the unsightly
and the suggestion of cleanliness about
the depots has been specially useful.
Improvement becomes a passion. Near
such depots cottages are sure TO be
neat and yards cleanly. This class OF
necessarily involves the
conventional. and that is not always a
bad thing in a village. We can enjoy
reading the name Of a station in clam
shells. Color and contrast are perhaps
the main thing. A group Of handsome
of lilacs. or weigelias with
plenty OF roses. cheers the tired trav-
eler and gives him something pleasant

How Boris PLAYS Golf

There is remarkable story going tn,
rounds among golfers about the way
that the royal visitor, Duke Boris
plays the game.
Out in Chicago recently, where he
was being entertained at one OF the
large clubs, some women asked him to
play around the course with them.
The Grand Duke accepted the invita-
tion. and after half a dozen trials man.
aged to drive off the teel the ball go
ing about fifteen feet. Then, without
waiting for his fair hostesses to drive
at all. he pounded and showed away at
the little gutta percha until he reached
the first green Here he played crouuet
all over the place for about five min
utes. and at last, by great streak of
luck, got the ball into the tin in about
an even hundred strokes for the one
hole Turning to the American women
who had managed through courtesy to
keep from laughing during this fan
tastic exhibition. the man from Rus

AN OUTRAGE

All persons will regret that the casee
against Sheriff Mcdaniel, Mayor Boyd
and others. should have been dropped
without a showing OF evidence, but the
course adopted by the Attorney-General
was probably the only possible one
under the circumstances. There has
been so much said over these cases, and
certain newspapers have played so
strong a hand in the matter that only a
verdict of a competent jury would have
satisfied all parties.
But in the absence OF this, we must
presume the innocence of the parties
under indictment This is only com
mon decency, as wen as ordinary law.
For the public to assume guilt in ad-
vance OF verdict would be an injus-
tice. anu for newspaper to do so, DIS
an intolerable outrage. A verdict made
up ina newspaper office when It in
wolves an accusation OF crime. when the
courts have failed to produce and
weigh the evidence, requires a peculiar
quality Of nerve.
The case could not be tried because
of material absent witness; and who
was that witness? cold-bloOded muir
derer who had. presumably, been lib
Grated from Jail in order to secure hie
testimony. The Every Evening evil
IDENTIFY feels that Justice has been
balked because he did not apRear. We
think the public generally will feel that
If a good case could not be made out
without his testimony, one could not
have been made with It.
The Evening Journal has taken the
position in all such cases that Il IL
not the province OF either press or pub
lie to find a man guilty; that is tn,
province Of the courts. and TO say il
this case that it is incumbent on th'
defendants to prove their innocence, Il
TO set aside the rules OF logic as wei
as those of the law.

Would Be a Syndicate

They had been pressing him hard the

cause they could not stand the pace.

DAVIS WAGED FIGHT
AGAINST His UNCLE
Attitude Of PaVnter Frame in Convex
lion Choice Bit Of Con-
VerSatiOE
Special to the Evening Journal


Dover, Sept. 24.-The Democratic
State Convention and the surprises it
sprung upon an unsuspecting public
are still the talk of the politicians and
the grocery store senates. The threw
down Of Handy and the attitude Of
Paynter Frame, Of Sussex county.
probably the best-knOwn Democrats
worker of the State for the past forty
years. are still choice morsels of con-
versatiOn.
Upon the best authority it is learned
that Mr.. Frame. who retired from the
Sussex county caucus because he want
ed to support Handy for Congress, to-
gether with his five colleagues, was
finally rounded into line for Houston,
thereby giving the nominee the entire
vote of Sussex. After Mr.. Frame voted
for Houston. however, ne bolted out
OF the convention, saying that was the
toughest job he had been compelled to
do as a Democrat in all hfs expert
ence of fighting with his party. he had
nothing against Houston, but was a
great admirer Of Handy and his work
for the party and declared that he
lcould not stand for any such deal.
Another Democratic official who had
opportunity to closely observe the con-
lventions doings declares that the vote
Of Sussex was solid for Houston, forty
hve OF THE New Castle county delegates
voted for Handy and 46 of the Kent
dalegates supported the silver-tongued
candidate Therefore, Mr.. Handy re-
ceived more votes in Kent county. his
old home, than he did in New Castle
after leader Thomas Davis got through
with the New Castle delegation. There
we're only eighteen Handy delegates
lelected from Kent. but in the interest
Of fair shake. and because MI. Handy
personally asked for their support, the
Others voted for him unwaveringly.
The fact that Mr. Frame from Sus-
sex wanted Mr. Handy from New Cas-
tie for the nominee, while MI. Davis
from the latter county. supported th'
Sussex man, is interesting. But it Il

Frame is Mr.. Davis uncle

Roosevelt's popularity. When 1t is re-
membered that his opposition dates
from the Northern Merger suit, which
was instituted by the Government
against Morgan and his friends, the
reason for his present attitude is ap-
parent. But it may transpire that Nor
gan knows more about business than
he does about politics. The American
people have about taken Morgan's mea-
sure. and they also pretty thoroughly
Roosevelt. One is as firm
as the other. but the President has the
advantage that he is acting for the
people, while Morgan is acting for him
self.
II is a little strange unat his anger
should take the form OF contributing
to the Democratic campaign fund. since
It is a principle of Democracy that all
trusts, good. bad and Indifferent, should
be smashed. President Roosevelt has
seen the dangers. and is disposed to
discriminate. He would not retard
legitimate and necessary combinations,
but he is against crushing monopolies,
even though Mr.. Morgan be at the head
OF certain OF them. In a contest be-
tween these giants, the President ia
