STALwAET NATIONS EAT MosT.-A
London statistician has furnished facts
and figures which go to show that peo-
pie with large appetites become the
leading nations OF the world, and that
the nature of the food eaten has a
striking effect upon national charac-
ter. 1t has been found that the ex-
penditure by head for food has pro-
portional reference to the exports of a
country. The United States for in
stance expends 50 cents per capita and
exports annually 81 ,495 100000; Great
Britain expends 46 and exports ST.
400, 100000; Germany ~ cents, with
III, 1O5, 100000 exports, and France fol.
lows with SO cents representing the
daily expense of food, and Italy only
Is cents, with SS3O,OOO,OOO and $780,
100000 representing their annual ex.
ports. The same authority states that
maritime nations are great sugar eat
ers. The English citizen consumes 70
pounds a year, the Americans 81, the
French 80, the Germans II. AS re-
CARDS meat, the American eats 3
pounds each week, the Briton 25-16ths,
the Frenchman II, the German trihe
less, the Russian l and the italian one
half pound.

LUNATIC VISITS ROosEvELT's HOME.
Henry Weilbrenner, demented in
dividual, created some excitement at
Oyster Bay, Wednesday night, by sew
eral attempts to gain admittance to
the residence of President Roosevelt.
He was armed with q revolver. He
said he had received a telegram from
the President directing him to call at
Sycamore Hill. He was on a third
call taken into custody by the Presi.
dents guard. The man resides at
Lyosset, about five miles inland from
Oyster Bay, and is regarded by those
who have seen him as a dangerous
lunatic. He is a son OF truck farm.
er. A subsequent examination OF
Wellbrenner by two doctors establishes
the fact that he is insane and he has
been committed for safe keeping. The
only reason he gave for his persis tent
call was that he had been invited by
the President, and that he wanted to
marry his daughter Alice.

ORDINATE Surveyor-Genera Eagle.
son, of Idaho, is to be removed for the
reason that the Civil Service Commits.
sion having rejected the man he de.
sired for Ohief Clerk and under the
rules given him another helper, he
made the conditions so tropical for the
inspected and approved clerk that the
crushed worm turned and made war
by preferment OF charges, against his
superior, and as usual under such cir
cumstances, they have been readily
sustained by prejudgment on red-tape
rules, aud the Surveyor General will
have to step down and out, at the be-
hest OF subordinate. This is where
civil service has led to, likewise, in
other branches of the government. 1t
will be remembered that Postmaster
Wisner, while in charge OF the Olympia
office, was held up in the same way by
his snbordinates, and when he sus-
pended q clerk, for good cause, had to
make defense OF his action and fight
against an attempt at his own re-
moval. This policy entirely removes
the safeguard afforded by placing re.
sponsibility for public service solely
on the heads of departments.

Has No Chance.

There was travelling man in Olym-
pia last week who called al the STAND.
ARD Office to say that he had figured
it out that it will be impossible to
or at least elect Theodore
Roosevelt President next year. "Roose-
welt has no chance" he said, "be-
cause he is too smart. We have
never elected our smartest men to the
presidency. The Republican manag-
ers don't like Roosevelt because they
can not manage him. They will turn
heaven and earth. so 10 speak, to pre-.
vent him from securing another term
But If Roosevelt is not nominated by
the Republicans they have no man
who can win. 1t will be a Democrat
who will be chosen to succeed him."

BURGLARY BY PREACHER.-Rev.
H. r. Kennedy, former pastor of the
Congregational Church at Hillsboro.
Ogn., was arrested Monday for burg
larry of the home of E. H. Warren, of
that city. He attempted to chloro.
form its occupants, but was unsuc.
cessiul, and that did not deter him.
When he had awakened Mrs. Mackin-
der, by his bungling attempt to adj.
minister the drug, her screams aroused
Warren and his daughter. When
they appeared he held the three under
his revolver while he ransacked the
house. He wore q mask but was
recognized by his voice and clothing.
After about half an hours stay, he
departed through the window by
which he had gained entrance. He
was dismissed from the pulpit for want
of zeal in church work. He is a man
OF culture, has family, and has lately
been engaged in cruising land.

What Should Be Done +?

The Tacoma Ledgcr, in commenting
upon the late e.opcmrrt Of q boy of II
named Viii Barnett, and girl Of l.,
Trasey Fades, from this city, says that
they are a pair of chumps," and
fools beyond question:" and then
asks, " " hat are you gong to do about
it?"
Laws bong enacted for protection of
the weak as well as restraint of the
vicious. il seems that there should not
he much trouble in finding statutes
that Will apply To redress u great
wrong that has been deliberately done
to one OF the parties. There should
be some means for restraint, as well as
punishment of crime, in all cases, TO
matter 10y whom committed. For an
adult to debauch a child is rape, and
punishable by long term in the
States prison. \ minor who takes
life is guilty OF murder, and tender
age can only be urged in mitigation of
the statutory limits for punishment OF
that crime. is hardly fair to assume
that when the rite is so safely guarded
that anybody authorized to perform
the marital ceremony did so without a
license, which could only be procured
by fraud or consent of guardian. In
fact there has been nc claim made that
they have been married. 1t seems to
us that much can be done about it,
and it is the duty of law Off GERS and
the community to see that something
is done about it. The reform school
has been established for just such cases
OF defiance of law, if the turpitude OF
the act, on investigation. does not
merit confinement behind stronger
walls.
The child that was abduct ed by this
abnormally developed youth has no
mother, her father is absent, and she
seems to have had nobody that had
true conception of the duties of
guardianship to look after her welfare.
She was, in other words, thro wn upon
her own resources, with no guiding
hand to direct her course at the time
when most in heed of it.
The parties were captured by the
authorities of Ashland, Oregon, Satur-
day. and the girl, returned home with
her brother, Will Fades, Monday night.
She refuses to testify, however, and
her sisters, who are her guardians,
have declined to prosecute. So Barnett
has been released, with the admoni-
ton, however, not to return to Olym.
MIA.
