 This Is said to be the question which was propounded by the President today to Harry Gordon, Lieutenant-Governor of Ohio. Vice. Mayor of Cincinnati. and one of the big wheels in the Hamilton County political machine controlled by
 President Roosevelt, 1t is stated, sent for Mr Gordon just as he has sent for other political leaders in various parts of the country, and invited him to luncheon. The Presidents idea was to ascertain the condition of the political asmosyhere in Senator Hanna's own State. He pa-ticu- larly desired to know this with reference to the campaign of 1904. in view of the sporadic efforts which have been made to force Mr. Hanna into the Presidential race. These efforts have nearly all started in Ohio.
 Mr. Gordon. 1t is stated, told the Pres- ident that he did not think Senator Han ma was q candidate, and that he ought to be taken at his word. He declared that Ohio would be for Roosevelt If Senator Hanna did not come out openly. In the event of e contest he was of the opinion that the Ohio delegation would be in- structed for Hanna

Republican
Democratic

These figures show not only the inde- pendent and variable character of the
 voting in New York, but some astonish- ingly quick and complete revolutions.
 Thus the Republicans carried the State for Grant by 5S,524 in 1872. and the Dem ocrats elected Tilden Governor by al- most the same plurality two years later. Cleveland carried the State for Governor by the enormous plurality of 1S2S54 in lSS2. and the Republicans elected the Sec retary of State the very next year by 1S,5S3, on the beer question. Harrison re- ceived a plurality of 1s.OOO for President in 1888. while Hill carried the State for Governor at the same election by 19.1n. again on the beer question-Warner Mil Ter. the Republican candidate, being identified with extreme views on the tenn perance question. To cap the climax, Mo- kinley had the unprecedented plurality Of 268, ,469 in 1896, and the Democrats elected Parker Chief Justice the very next year

A rRuIrLEss prscussroN,

A great deal of discussion on the Ques- ton of secession, most of 1t purely acad- emic, has resulted from the Panama | incident, and a new impetus was given when the Texas Daughters of the Con- | federacy adopted resolutions thanking Roosevelt for This indorsement' of the principles of secession. as they expressed it. The entire press of the country, al- most, has had a say about it, and 1t is natural that there should be great dif- ference of opinion.
 We have no wish to discuss the pros and cons Of the question, or the points of similarity or dissimilarity between the secession of Panama and that of the Southern States. for nothing is to be gain ed by taking either side, so far as we are able to see. That the Texas Daughters had grounds for their view is not to be disputed. Even The Chicago Chronicle
 which cannot be set down as a partisan Of the South. Is forced to admit in a re- cent issue that "when the women of the South publicly proclaim, as so many are doing, that President Roosevelt by his course at Panama has 'vindicated the South and upheld secession he cannot deny the impeachment"
 It Is somewhat amusing to read the al. most frantic efforts of most of our North ern contemporaries, especially the Re- publicans, to show that there is no point of resemblance between the cases, and one, at least of their arguments is what may be called a specimen of special plead ing. We allude to the contention that the Southern States were not successful, therefore they did not actually secede.
 To secede means ''to withdraw" and cer-
 tainly the South withdrew very decidedly, | even If she failed to remain withdrawn.
 As The Chattanooga Times says:
 As we understand the attitude of the | Texas "DaugnLers." they do not contend
 that secession in 1o60-64 succeeded; in fact,
 they are incnned to lament the fact that
 it did not; what they insist upon anu | what the Riesldsnt's actions clearly dem | onstraLed was the right of the SOutn-
 ''tlaltors." so gIlbIy bestowed on them by
 the Republican Party or the North during l all the years slnce the time when they

Success doesn't always stamp an action. puDlic or private. as right, nor does temporary failure mean that the principle involv ed Is wrong.
 AS we have before stated, we are not
 arguing for or against secession, either
 of the Southern States or of Panama, for
 We look on both incidents as having
 passed beyond argument. The South fail
 ed and that ended it, while 1t now seems
 that Panama has succeeded. Still, one
 question protrudes itself: If. by any
 means, Colombia could nullify Panama s
 action and force that State back into the
 parent Government. how would the case
 stand? Could We then say that Panama
 seeded?

There is a small island lying about

reached when the tide is out by wad-

low water. The island is a beautiful
spot, eagerly sought by tourists. pic

to enjoy an outing.
After days enjoyment in this
lonely retreat small party of young
people who reside in the vicinity of
Corpus Christi were preparing to re-
turn to their homes when Miss Fanny
Flackman, pretty girl who enjoys
riding on horseback, concluded that
1t would be great fun to exchange her
seat in the boat with one OF the young
men who had ridden a pony to the
island.
While they were slowly journeying
through the water laughing and sing

threw up his head, staggering and
snorting as II frightened and hurt. He
made a powerful lunge forward, bel

arms shot out of the water by the side

Remarkable Discovery.

The well-known Dutch Archaeological,
Wolgraff, who has been for some time
by permission of the Greek govern
ment, excavating on the skirts Of an
cient Argos, has succeeded in dis
covering the foundations Of an an
cient Greek temple. on which a Byzan-
tine church has been built.
Round the foundations were frag-
ments of ancient ruins. broken pieces
of marble, and portions of statuettes
of very fine and delicate workman
ship, as well as inscribed plates.
From an examination of the inscrip-
ton it appears that on this spot had
stood the famous Temple of Apollo
of which the high priests, according
to classical writer's. were gifted with
the power of prophecy.
The excavations are to be con-
tinued.

, panion. The horses scented danger,
and though the boys were flashing
them with fury and driving their spurs
proach their struggling comrade. The
boys in the beat pushed the bow Of
their little craft close to the devil
fish, and one of them began to strike
1t with an ore, while another made
battle with boat hook. The enraged
monster suddenly rose to the surface,
spreading out a tangled mass Of long
suckers, and emitting an inky fluid
that colored the waters of the sea.
Revolvers and guns were quickly
brought into action and the boys
rained lead into the Quivering mass Of
living deviltry. which seemed to have
no further effect than to increase its
rage and cause 1t to lash the sea with
some of its arms, while others were
fastened upon the struggling horse.
Finding that he could not force his
horse close enough to be of service to
Miss Flackman, George Judy, a valiant
young rancher, drew his pocketknife
and plunged into the sea. Selling the
imperiled girl about the waist, he drew
her on his shoulders and was in the
act of bearing her away when the
laundering horse turned his head
around, dragging the octopus so near
that 1t dashed against his body and
caused him to stumble. Regaining an
attitude Of defense, he found that an
arm Of the persistent devilfish was
fastened about the screaming girls

good one, and single forceful blow
sufficed to sever the repulsive men,

the confused waves, and in the midst
of them appeared the head and great
eyes of horror within few feet of the
rescuer's face. The young mans blade
flashed, and at every stroke a tentacle
fell, severed, upon the foaming sea.
The monster squdrmed and dashed the
water, apparently little affected by
the loss Of several of its terrible
weapons.
When the boat touched the heroic
young mans side, he was almost
ready to fall from exhaustion.
The horse shook the suckers loose
from his nose, and as Miss Flackman
and her valiant rescuer were assisted
into the boat they saw the fragments
OF the octopus still quivering with
combativeness, slowly sinking about
the hideous head and body.

Jews in New YOrk's lower East Side

speech gave the Jews of that longest

urges them to emigrate to the west
and south, where they could live un-
der more healthful and hopeful condi-
tions. In picturing the advantages of
life in such new homes as he suggest
ed he said in part:
And there is one thing you would
be rid of there which you have here
to your humiliation. There you need
have no fear of any visits of 'aristo-
cratic" people from the upper West
Side, who come down here to tell you
with patronizing airs to be good, and
then go back to their finely fitted up
drawing rooms to tell their social cir
Gle of the terrible things they have

people to mind their own wash dash
