TO his eldest grandchild's entreaties,
gave the baron a commission of captain

He also undertook to intercede with
her parents, and with the regent of Ba-

by constantly asking him to take part
in court hunts. etc, as well as inviting
him to join him on his channels shooting

Might Revive Issue.

The fact that Ohio is now represented
upon the highest tribunal IN the land
will doubtless preclude the appointment
of Governor Taft to such judicial po-
sition, although 1t would probably be
greatly to his liking. Governor Taft
on the Republican ticket with Roosevelt
would probably revive the issue of i'm
perialism with the Democrats. but as
his record is one which cannot be sue
cessfully assailed, 1t is difficult to see
how the agitation of that question would
benefit them any.
1t is not probable that the Republic
cans will nominate Governor Taft for
Vice President; it is not likely that he
desires the nomination. but If they
should 1t would be a mistake. Cover
nor Taft's place is right where he is.

Received by Two Expresses.

While at Pekin, Prince George was re-
ceived by the Emperor of China and by
the two Expresses. and in Tokyo he was
the guest of the Mikado and of the lat
ter's consort. he is scion of the an
cient house of Wittelsbach, which traces
back its ancestry in an unbroken line
TO the year 907. when Luitpold, cou-
sin and one of the principal generals
of the Emperor Arnold, was created
Duke of Bavaria. In the year 1885 the
dukes of Bavaria became electors of the
Holy Roman Empire. and IN 1905 the
then Elector of Bavaria was advanced
to the rank of king by the first Ma
poleon, the Kings daughter becoming
the wife of Napoleon's stepson. Eugene
de Beauharnais. Viceroy OF Italy and
Duke of Leuchtenburg.
Prince George has two sisters, one
married to Archduke Joseph OF Austria,
while the other, Princess Elizabeth, made
a runaway and morganatic love match
with young infantry officer OF the name
of Baron Seefrid. who was in conse-
quence thereof compelled TO leave the
Bavarian army and likewise Bavarian

A Parallel in Cromwell's Time.

Indeed, to find any parallel for the
action of King Alexander Of Servia In
the matter it is necessary to go back
to Oliver Cromwell. the Lord Protector
and President of the short-lived repub-
lie of Great Britain. who, when he sat
for his portrait to the famous painter,
Peter Lely. exclaimed:
81 insist that you devote all your ef-
forts TO portraying me just as / am
with all my wrinkles and lines and
warts. II you do not accomplish this
fattering representation OF myself you
shall not have single farthing for the
painting"
1t is far cry from Oliver Cromwell
TO young King Alexander of Servia, and
yet, there is after all, when one comes
to think of it. certain analogy be-
tween them. For not merely Lely's
portrait of Cromwell, but likewise the
death mask Of his face preserved In the
British Museum of London. shows that
he was quite as ill-favored In appear
ance as was King Alexander of seryta.
while the unceremonious manner In
which King Alexander recently tore nm
the Servfan constitution and sent the
members of the legislature about their
business, clearing the chamber by
means OF troops, reminds one of how
the Lord Protector put an end to the
famous Long Parliament, and over
"helmed the historic and awe-inspiring
mace with contempt by directing one
or his roundheads to remove that bau-

LITERARY TREASURES
IN PENSION APPEALS
Three Specimens That take the Bum,
for Originality.

Not 1nfrequently does the Board of
Pension Appeals receive letters which
are humorous and original In their con-
tents and grammar OF all received. the
three here appended certainly take the
lead.
me first seems to be an attempt on
the part of an applicant to describe the
symptoms of asthma, for which case he
deems pension should be given. Read
MS essay and sympathize accordingly:

when his pipes wasent wet with spit he

Just q plain stringy whistle There
wasn't no hooking bird BUSINESS about
1t. for II showed sorrer, and another
thing-he dident whistle becos he was
happy, becos the sicker he got the better
he whistled.''
The second letter is from an old SOL
died who bemoans his loss OF strength
and thinks nervousness" a sufficient
reason for granting a pension. The first
letter was a sumner. but this beats 1t:
"Befar the war there wasent no man

The Field of Politics.
One From Kentucky.


new candidate has been placed in
voluntarily In the field of Republican
Vice Presidential possibilities. He is
the Hon. John w. Yerkes, of Kentucky,
the present Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue, and his sponsor and hacker is
the Hon. Jesse Overstreet, Representa-
tive in Congress from Indiana. Mr.. Over
street deserves commentator for his Sc
lection; the party might decline to adopt
his suggestion. refuse to nominate Mr..
Yerkes, and do a great deal worse. His
name would add strength to the tick
ct. and if strength is not needed 1t
would make at least a welI-balanced
ticket, one which would not be all head
and no tail, as is sometimes the case.
Mr.. Yerkes is doubtless the most popu-
lar Republican IN the Blue Grass State,
and while If next year is a Repub-
lican year, the Republicans will probably
not need Kentucky in their column, with
Yerkes as their candidate for Vice
President they could give the Democrats
almost as lively a time in the State
as they did IN the first Bryan cam
paign.
Had Mr.. Yerkes given his consent
short time ago, he could doubtless have
been nominated by his party for the gov
ernorship. but as the chances are
against any Republican carrying the
State this year 1t would be unwise for
him to abandon certainty In a Fed
eral position for an uncertainty in Ken
lucky. for ne could not we'll make the
canvass without resigning his present

Not an Heir Apparent.

Prince George of Bavaria, who has ar
rived in this country via San Fran
cisco, and who is travelling under the
name OF Count Wartensleben, is in no
sense of the word either the heir ap-
parent or the heir presumptive to the
BaVartan crown, between which and
himself there are no less than seven
lives. He is the eldest son of Prince
Leopold, the latter being the second son
of the old regent of Bavaria. His mother
is Archduchess Gisela, the eldest daugh-
ter of the Emperor of Austria. who is
therefore his grandfather, and very
fond of him. In spite Of his youth-he
is but twentythree years of age-he is
grand prior of the Bavarian Order Of
st. George, and has been travelling In
the British and Dutch Indies, as well
as in China and Japan, with his cous-
ms, Prince and Princess Rupert of Ba-
varia, Prince Rupert being the future
King of Bavaria
Prince and Princess Rupert were to
have accompanied him to the United
States. But the severe illness of the
princess at Pekin, together with the
news of the death by diphtheria of their
little girl, whom they had left behind
them in Bavaria, in the care of its
grandmother, have had the effect of al
tering their plans. and they have re-
turned home by the Trans-Siberian Rail
road.

to confirm the denials contained in these

character as to render further existence

Ran a Good Race.

Three years ago Mr.. Yerkes ran for
Governor against young Mr.. Beckham.
and despite the fact that it was imme-
diately following the Goebel assassina-
ton, which united the Democrats and
turned many independent voters
against the Republican ticket, he came
within about 5000 votes of defeating
the youthful governor. On the basis of
last years Congressional elections, how
ever, Kentucky is about 10000 Demo-
cratic. and the chances are favorable to
the reelection of Governor Beckham;
SO 1t is much better that Mr.. Yerkes
be considered candidate for the Vice
Presidency than to make the attempt
TO gain the governorship.
Not since the second Lincoln cam
paign, when Andrew Johnson was the
Vice Presidential candidate, has either
of the two great parties gone to the
Southland Kentucky is regarded as
Southern State-for a candidate either
for President or Vice President, and It
might be a strong blow toward break
ing up the solid South II the RepubIi-
cans should first do so. If the Repub-
licans want Southern man for Vice
President, they can do no better than
10 name the present Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, and If they want
good man, without regard for the State
OF his nativity or residence, why, Mr.
Yerkes is still available.

Taft in Favor.

Speaking Of the second place on the
Republican ticket next year. 1t is well
10 mention that there has recently been
some talk OF nominating the Hon VIII
liam H. Taft, the civil governor of the
Philippines. Since Governor Taft has
proven such success in his present
position. he has been suggested for al
most every office worthy Of his station
Senator, governor of Ohio, Associate
Justice on the Supreme Bench, Chief
Justice to succeed Chief Justice Fuller
Upon his retirement and even the Presi-
dency itself has been regarded as none
too high place for him to aspire-and
II is not surprising that he should be
included in the list of Vice Presidential
possibilities. as the list Is daily growing
larger and includes a score or more of
worthless.
A few months ago. when the anti
Rooseveltites were searching for man
sufficiently strong tie arouse popular en-
thusiasm In opposition to the President,
tic name of Taft was frequently men
toned. regardless OF the fact that he
las always been loyal to Roosevelt.
Then, too, there was much talk of ele-
waiting him to the Supreme Bench, par
ticularly just prior to the appointment
OF Judge Day.

The Duty of Labor.
1t Must Demand Sterling Integrity in
All Its Representatives.

In the pending charges against
walking delegates the labor organiza-
tons must see plainly the necessity of
exercising every care in the choice of
their business agents. To merit the
respect of their members and the con-
fidenee of the public the trades unions
must be above suspicion IN every re-
spect. There Is no surer means Of at
tanning to that end than by imposing
upon their officials the highest stand
ards of conduct And the first and
continual requirement should be un-
impeaehable integrity in all things.
It Is this quality above all others
which has so endeared John Mitchell,
the president of the Mine Workers
Union, not only TO the members of the
organization, but TO the millions of
open-minded people who have looked
with sympathy and admiration upon
his efforts to better the conditions of
labor In the anthracite region. Does
anyone doubt that, if Mitchell had
been a CRATER and trickster instead
Of the incorruptible man he is, he
could have enriched himself for life
at the time Of the great coal strike of
1892 His policy and principles as a
labor leader may have been con-
demned by those who favor Baer

Seeking the Presidency.
President Roosevelt's Methods and
Those of Daniel Webster.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has re-
Gently unearthed and published with
the design, apparently, of discredit-
ing President Roosevelt's frank and
open candidacy for the Republican
Presidential nomination-some sound
ing and studied phrases IN which
Daniel Webster once expressed his
Discrimination to make an active and
personal canvass for the Presidency.
When urged by certain friends to de
clare himself an aspirant for the
Wing nomination, Mr.. Webster an
sWered:
/ am private citizen, and that condition
viii never be changed by any movement or
effort made for that purpose by myself or at
my suggestion In my opinion, nominations for
the high offices OF the country should come, If
they come at all, from the free and spon-
taneous exercise of that respect and confidence
which the people themselves may feel All So
leitations of such nominations, and all can
wasting for such high trusts regard as equally
inconsistent with personal dignity and deroga-
tory TO the character of the institutions of the
country.
Mr.. Webster's refusal to solicit" a
nomination at the hands of the Wing
party may possibly have been in
splred by sense of public duty or
dellcaey or personal scruple. But the
attitude of stoical reserve and philo-
sophical self-abnegation which it i'm
piled was wholly lacking in the great
Massachusetts statesman's character.
No other Wing leader more ardently
desired or more eagerly sought a
Presidential nomination, and though
he professed to feel that that great
honor should fall, as it might, on the
candidate whom the respect and con
fdence of the people" should infalli-
bly, designate, no one was reader
than he to express dissatisfaction with
the operations of such a system Of
"free and spontaneous" selection.
When he was beaten in the Wing
national convention of 1S48 by one of
the military idols of that day-Gen
Zachary Taylor-he took the stump,
after months Of sulking, to tell
the voters of Massachusetts that Tay-
lor's nomination was one mot fit to
be made" And again, in 1852, when
Gen. Winfield Scott snatched the
nomination away from him, he failed
to show the slightest sign of friendli-
ness to the Wing party's chosen can
didate.
We cannot find, therefore, In Web
ster's example any ground for re-
buking the opener, nanlier, and more
genuine office-seeking methods Of
Theodore Roosevelt No charge of
hypocrisy can be brought against the
Presidents ingenious methods. Nor
do we think that, should he suffer de-
feat In a nominating convention, he
would spend his time thereafter In
plotting to knife his successful rival
