Labor unions are snarling and
showing their teeth in the manner
of our strenuous president himself
because President Roosevelt has
ordered the reinstatement of a
non-union employee in the govern
ment printing Office in Washington.
The erstwhile followers of the
defunct A. P. A. organization are
also writing because the president
has sent an adulatory message of
coincidence on the death of Pope
Leo. In one way or another the
presidents strenuosity is kept in
evidence, although this is the heat
ed season Of the year. Will the
presidents name now be removed
from the list as an honorary men,
Der OF a labor union, or his Ameri-
canism be seriously questioned
because recognition was given to
the death of the Pope? Or, on the
other hand, will there be an &C.
acknowledgement of hypocrisy by
lodging the plain propositions thus
flung down by the president?

The selection of Perry S. Heath
to succeed himself as secretary Of
the national republican committee,
is further evidence that the repub-
iican party prefers individuals of
shady character to occupy positions
of honor and trust. 1t is impossi-
BILE for people to have confidence in
a party that retains in office such
men as Heath, who is vigorously
criticised by the ablest republican
newspapers in the United States.
The Chicago Tribune says of him:
at is sufficiently established
that Perry Heath as assistant post
master general ran constantly on
the borderland of outlawry. The
Irregularities in the postoffice de-
partment under his administration
were constant and deliberate. He
knew all about them. He wished
to violate the civil service rules by
making appointments in an irreg-
ular and unlawful manner, and he
did it. He behaved as repre-
sentative OF the lowest type of
political spokesman. This is not
the worst about Mr.. Perry Heath.
His tenure of Office in the postoffice
department was marked by scan
daions conduct from beginning to
end. More than any other official
In Washington he seems to be re-
sponsible for the frauds in the
Cuban postal service"

There seems to have been more
or less annoyance to road overseers
to collect poll taxes, and a great
many refuse to work their taxes
out on the roads. II everyone who
thinks they have a kick coming at
the county commissioners for not
allowing orders for thousands of
dollars to be spent on roads more
than is expended, would take the
same amount Of trouble in placing
the blame where it belongs, instead
of kicking against the county offic-
ers every time they see u chuck
hole, our roads would be worked
more than they are. During the
first quarter of the present year
there was expended $2l27.12 on
roads and bridges, and s753.O6 for
the second quarter, or a total of
SZooO.lo during the hrst Six
months. To have expended more
than this amount would necessitate
a heavier tax levy, then there
would have been another kick COM
ing, pitted against the commission
ers, Of course. Or, if the road
overseers had persisted in ordering
all who rightfully owed a poll tax
to work the roads, the commission
ers would have been censured for
being too severe. The best men in
the road districts are usually select
ed as supervisors, and if they can
not secure all the labor that is due
their districts from poll taxes, the
commissioners should not be blam-

Throughout the Scandinavian king
| doms the greatest anxiety Is felt on ac-
count of Chamberlain's tariff projects.
Should the British colonial secretary's
scheme be carried out the Scandina-
| Wan export food trade would suffer a
| severe blow. Moreover, the duties on
| non colonial timber, which almost
killed the Baltic timber trade about
the end of the eighteenth century, and
the abolition of which in the middle
of the last century created an economic
revival in Sweden and Norway, would
cause infinite harm to Scandinavian in
tie: ests in timber, which constitutes
half of the total exports of Sweden and
Norway and goes mostly to England.
In some. quarters the opinion is held
that Scandinavia, in the event Of the
adoption of universal British reciproc-
ity, may be compelled to consider the
possibility of entering the British en-
pie in order to avoid economic ruin.

with the provision that nothing must

DIED ON THE FOURTH.
Three Presidents Have Passed Away
on the Birthday of the
United States.

Three presidents of the United
States died on the Fourth of July,
two on its fiftieth anniversary. One
was Thomas Jefferson, who so years
before had signed the Declaration of
Independence, and John Adams, who
at the same time, had, after a three
DAYS debate, secured the adoption
of the Declaration. 1t might be taken
for granted that these two repre-
sentative men were warm personal
friends. even if history were silent
upon the subject, which it is not.
When jefferson was dying on that
day which he had so signally helped
to distinguish, his friend was also
breathing his last. Adams did not
know of Jefferson's illness, and his
last words were: Thomas jefferson
still survives;" as if there was con-
ISOLATION in the thought. But his
friend had already passed from
| earth.
President Monroe, whose famous
doctrine" has kept his memory
green. also died on the Fourth og
July GS3D. OF him Jefferson said:
''If his soul were turned inside out,
not spot could be found on it,"
That Monroe, like his distinguished
friend and predecessor, should pass
| away on the anniversary of the in
dependence of the country he served
so faithfully, is touching coinci-
dence.
