ABSENT TREATMENT

1t isn't often that an Indictment is couched in
terms of fattery that attery may be construed TO
indict especially if the fiaterer be intelligent as is
Mr. William Allen White; but the case may occur.
In writing of Roosevelt Mr. Whites sincerity is nat
ent most of the time. He does not kowtow with apy-
thing like the fulsomencss Of that other Western cd
or who that Roosevelt is the greatest states
man the world has produced. nor, on the other
hand is Mr. Whites praise so faint or specous MS
to damn.
1t is reasonably clear that he came to praise Cacsar
and not to bury him. but there is some doubt rs to
which he accomplished.
One of his suggestions in the Saturday Evening
Post deserves special consideration by those who
would understand Mr.. Roosevelt and his politjcaI
methods There Is rhetorical force so potent in
American politics President at the rear end of
train. From the birth of this generation of voters
a President talking to the people, whether he has
talked crops or geography political economy or the
weather or ethics demonstrated geometricaI the
orem, has brought them to his way of thinking on the
tariff or the currency foreign policy and this
spring President Roosevelt has converted the nation
to his way of thinking on the trust problem, though
he has scarcely mentioned it in his speeches He has
given the question what might be called absent treat
ment'"
Passing the question MS to whether the nation has
been ccnverted-and this seems to be rather improb-
able, for the reason that 1t requires time and con-
stancy to convert nation-everyb admits that
MI Roosevelt has scarcely mentioned either trusts or
tariff since the second of December, 1902 From that
memorable day on which lie declared to Congress
that we should not in fixing gaze upon the lesser

WORLD'S-19O4-FAIR.
FATHER CoFFEY's VIEWS.

While the Reverend Father Cofey uses the sweep
Ing and forceful phrases Of the orator his criticism
of political practices Is not without substantial basis
Of fact. The average professional city politician is
little better than the picture drawn by the clergyman
Politics, as business, Is too often considered ex-
empt from the moral code. "Al is fair in love and
war"-and politics. The aim is to win. Bother the
means. The enemy will resort to trickery and will
enter into conspiraces. The enemy will heed the ad-
forces, the that control votes and stand
for private gain. The enemy will spend money and
apply sleek schemes. He must be fought with the
same weapons The adverse forces certain to get
out their vote The good citizens may forget that an
election is on.
This statement does not excuse the politician or
lessen the evil of the practices. The churches need
not enter actively into politics. but Father Coffey is
right in declaring that depravity in public office and
the prevalence of customs that radically wrong
are attributable to the APATHY of the residents"
Though Father Coffey that temporary state
Of politics is detrimental to young he surely does
not advise that young Of strong character should
shun the public service.
He probably had no such implication in mind
ms he advised that the churches make efforts to cor
rect conditions. His plea leads to the proposition
that the good young and the good old men of
st. Louis should not only do away with apathy and
vote, but that they should for office and dspace
tne professional politician and elevate the plane of
politics.
Religion is the foundation of government as it is
Of society," and the churches can exercise beneficial
influence over public affairs But it would be better
in municipal business if the churches should exert
this influence indirectly by standing adherence to
moral law in politics instead of showing interest In
partisan contests. Father Cofey and other clergy
men, of different denominations living up to this
idea and are really accomplishing valuable results
Father Cofrey strikes the point when he argues
that the respectable people should be active More
good men will for office if the good citizens will
shake off apathy and go the polls to vote according
to the dictates Of conscience. Such men will put pol
itics on O more satisfactory level.

POEMS WORTH KNOWN,
THE HURRICANE.
ORD of the winds, I feel thee nigh.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

ORD of the winds! feel thee nigh.
/ know thy breath in the burning sk-.
And wait. with thrill In every vein.
For the coming of the hurricane!
And 10, the wing of the heavy gales.
Through the boundless arch of heaven he sails.
Silent and slow. and terribly strong,
The mighty shadow is borne along,
Like the dark eternity TO come;
While the world below, dsmayed and dumb.
Through the calm of the thick hot atmosphere
Looks up at its gloomy folds with fear.
They darkcn fast; and the golden blaze
OF the is quenched in the lurid haze.
And he sends through the shade funeral ray
a glare that is neither night day.
A beam that touches. with hues Of death,
The clouds above and the earth beneath.
To its covert glides the silent bird,
While the hurricanes distant voice is heard
Tplificd among the mountains round.
And the forests hear and answer the sound.
He is come! he Is come! dc We not behold
His ample robes the wind unrolled?
Giant of air! We bid thee hail.
How his gray skirts toss in the whrling gale;
How his huge and wrthng bent
To clasp the of the armament,
And fold at length, in their dark embrace.
From mountain to mountain the visible space!
The St. Louis Republic., 1903-07-01

Darker-stiH darker! the whirlwinds bear
The dust of the plains to the middle air;
And bark to the crashing, lcng and loud.
OF the chariot of God in the thunder-cloud!
You may trace its path by the flashes that start
From the rapid wheels, wherer they dart,
AS tho fre-bolts leap to the world below,
And flood the skies with lrrid glow.
What Is that?-'tis the rain that breaks
In torrents away from the airy lakes.
Heavily poured the shudderng ground
And shedding a nameless horror round,
All! wel-known woods, and mountains, and skies,
With the very clouds!-ye lost my eyes.
/ seek ye vainy, and In your place
The sfadowy tempest that sweeps through space,
A whirling ocean that fills the wall
OF the crystal heaven, and buries all.
And !, cut off from the world remain
Alone with the terrible hurricane.

Monument to Hon. Ncr Middleswarth.

While the state is appropriating money to
erect monuments in honor of men who attained
only local prominence, we are reminded Of the
fact that the State should appropriate money for
a monument to the memory of Hon. Ner Mid

local prominence, but who was known far and
wide in this commonwealth in his day and gen.

! In this connection, we might give brief
biography of this distinguished gentleman.
1t was in the year 1892 that his parents,
came from New Jersey to make their home on
frontier line which is now in Beaver township,
Snyder County. The pioneers found but few
wagon roads through this section, and were
obliged to cut their way through the forests and
cross deep and dangerous streams without
bridges with indians for neighbors, they cleared
farm in the wilderness and deer grazed in their
fields in friendly company with their cattle.
