STRONG IN THE WEST.
The People Pleased With the Course Of
the President


Secretary Wilson of the Department of
Agriculture is back at his desk after his
western trip. He spent considerable time
in the middle west, and had an excellent
opportunity to meet many people in a
way to learn exactly the feeling that exists
toward President Roosevelt by the rank
and file of the republican party, as well as
the people at large.
Not only did he find republicans favoring
Roosevelt, but. among democrats he dis
covered no sentiment favoring democratic
candidates that have come forward promi-
nently for the presidency. They generally
regarded Roosevelt as satisfactory to re-
ceive their votes The people of the mtd-
die west, with whom he came in contact
expressed themselves as we'll pleased with
the way in WhichsM Roosevelt has handled
public questions.
1.-The people Of the west" said Mr.. Will
son after }dSiireturn to the city ARE
alarmed at the movements Of great combi-
nations of capital. President Roosevelt has
enforced thef law as he found it to exist,
and he got the decision in favor of the gov
eminent in>l 1.-THE famous railroad merger
case. Then.he' asked for further legislation
to enable him ito inquire into the actual
conditions. i.He was satisfied when he go,
that legislation. and DISCOURAGED drastic
legislation tlIatsmfght have interfered with
business. The people are pleased that he
stopped the great distress in so many fam
lilies occaAoned by the coal strike. They ap-
prove entirely. these people In the great
western states, OF his policy of conserving
the peace through the maintenance of
strong navy. They are, pleased with the
reorganization of the army and with the
legislation putting the militia of the coun-
try on more healthy footing. They are
heartily in accord with the open door policy
for the orient. They do not want their
trade interfered with in China and the
other countries of the far east. and cordial

OLD SPANISH COINS.
The Peninsular Government Objects to
Proposed Auction

The Spanish government having heard
that the Philippine government is prepar-
ing to collect all the old Spanish copper
coins in the islands and dispose Of them
at auction. has communicated with this
government to say that it fears that the
coins will be bought in by SPECTATORS
and put into circulation in Spain at loss
and Inconvenience to the government. The
coins could be circulated in Spain at their
face value, and if bought cheaply at auc-
ton the Spanish government would be the
loser. The Spanish government has in
formed this government that. under the
Paris treaty. it believes that the coins be-
long to Spain, but is not disposed to enter
into contention on that point and would
like to be allowed to purchase the coins
at fair price, when they are put up for
sale.
The Secretary. of State or the director of
the mint will probably communicate with
the Philippine officials to ascertain exactly
what is to be done as to the coins and
send an answer to the request of the
Spanish government.

Glory of the Country Editor.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
The leisure and comparatively aloofness
of country Journalism enable the writer to
cultivate the niceties of style and thus en-
force the principle that words are things.
1t is supreme advantage to have days,
instead of hours minutes, for the prepa-
ration of an article. We may, therefore,
be sure that no vicissitudes will ever rob
the country editor of his peculiar glory as
the man who writes little but thinks much.
In the end the fabric of our policy will be
nodded by the quiet artists in phrase who
draw the picture in true perspective. When
rural Journalism ceases to count the re-
public will cease to endure

METH. G-DDyss OF WISDOM.

Meth, Judge Evans Remarkable Black
and Tan.
Meth is a dog-a little black and
tan bitch owned by Judge Evans Of
this city. The judge evidently
foresaw the wonderful intelligence Of
this little animal when he bestowed
upon her the name of the Egyptian
deity of wisdom. Meth was properly
named in her early youth, which
everyone will attest who enjoys her
acquaintance and ia familiar with her
remarkable tricks.
"Neith has always been lucky"
says Judge Evans. "She Is just like
a lot Of people l know, who don't
seem especially good for anything
except to get the best that is going.
Just lucky devils, that's all. It's
SO with Meth. She's clever, and
everybody likes her.
''She hasn't an enemy In the world
that l know Of. She does all kinds
of simple tricks which have taught
her with but little effort. Her almost
human intelligence attracts people
and they take liking to her, but
she Is just an ornament, there is no
practical utility to her. Why, the
other day she worked up her courage
to tackle stray cat that chsnced to
come into my rooms, but the cat
made one pass at her and II was all
of with Meth. She rushed to me for
protection and tremblinglly nestled
In my lap. Some big husky dog that
will fight the devil himself comes in
for the kicks of the community,
while Meth Ia the spoiled child of
luxury, and wouldn't tackle anything
her size for the world.
"Neith has been lucky from her
infancy. It's pure luck that she Ia
living now. Her sex was against
her, and 1t was only my intervention
that saved her from watery grave.
A lady, knowing my fondness for
animals, told me about the increase
in a certain canine family, but said
that the solitary female youngling
was doomed to DESTRUCTION OH account
of her sex, and being kindhearted
lady importuned me to save her.
That's how Meth came into my
possession. ! have given her q
home, but she has striven hard to
repay her board and keep by her in
telligent ways. She has wonderful
ly bright mind, the brightest ! have
ever observed In dog. She readily
understands any simple conversation.
OF course ! seldom converse with
her on any scientific or philOsophic
subjects, but she Is able to grasp
