CARPENTER WINS.
He Increases Republican Majority IN
Senate to Eight.

Francis W. Carpenter. the Republican candi-
date, has been elected State Senator I'm the
NNIId District to succeed Charles P. McClel-
land, Democrat. The election held this
year to fill the vacancy caused by Mr.. NIcCIel-
lands appointment by President Roosevelt as a
member OF the Board of General Appraisers.
The election Of Mr.. Carpenter will increase the
Republican majority in the upper house of the
legislature from six 10 eight. The Republicans
had twenty-eight members last winter and the
Democrats twenty-five. Because of Senators
Brown. Elsberg and Bracket voting with the
Democrats on certain measures the Republicans
reduced to twenty-five, or one less than
enough to pass bills.
The election Of Mr.. Carpenter to the State
Senate VIII give the Republicans twenty-nine
members and the Democrats twenty-one. This
VIII increase the Republican majority to eight
instead Of SIX and even with a detection of
three. the Republicans would have bare work
ing majority.
William I. Emmett, the Democratic candidate
for the Senate. made good fight and was even
thought to be elected when the first returns
came in. The tide soon turned, however, in
favor Of Carpenter.
The XKIId Senate District consists of the en-
tire county OF Westminster.

CUT DOWN IN THE BRONX.
Coroner Berry Praises Work of
Fusion Forces There.

Coroner Joseph l. Berry the defeated fusion
candidate for President Of the Borough of The
Bronx. said last night after he had learned the
results OF the election:
The general landslide for Mcclellan carried
down the fusion forces in The Bronx. The gen
eral results in The Bronx show an active and
energetic campaign by the fusion forces, which
succeeded In keeping down the Tammany ma
jority. The usual Democratic majority in The
Bronx is 1900, but through our efforts il this
time reaches only 5000. Any inroads which [
have succeeded in making in the Tammany
ranks have been merely Offset by the inroads
made by Haffen into the Republican vote"

extend far beyond the doors Of Michi-

editorial writer on the Chicago Rec.
ord-Herald. 1t is doubtless a fact that
most Of the Industrial and social ills
from which we are suffering at this
time may be traced to the spirit Of
haste and hurry that dominates all
activity. whether in professional or in
dustrial lines. The "hideous blunder-
Ing" in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy
and other departments of service that
call for long, patient and careful train
Ing, as well as the difficulties that dis

labor and capital against each other,
may nearly all be attributed to the
modern craze to do things quickly, to
get rich in a few years, to attain sue

Pre.ide.tiai Diplomacy.


What does the President mean when
he said in his San Francisco speech:
1.-THE events of the last few years have.
shown tlsat whether we wish 1t or
not we must play o great part In the
world" and then appealed to his hear;
ers for gigantic navy that we might
be ready to fight for what we pOssess.
Is the President with his Quixotic
temperament spelling for fight, or
has he any information that leads him
to suspect some foreign power intends
to coerce us? Long before the Roose-
yeltian era, when we had but a few,
wooden frigates, no European nation
dared to attack US, though the Monroa
doctrine deeply offended them. Nor
are they likely in the future, unless
we force them into quarrel, The
President cannot declare war; that ex-
!traordlnary power is reserved 10 Con-
gress alone, but he has the prerogativ0
to carry on diplomatic relations with,
other countries, and could bring about
state of affairs that would only end
in war. 1t is great power, and that
is the. reason that the American people
have always used the greatest circum-.
spectlon in selecting their Presidents
The dash and vivacity Of President
Roosevelt and his cratic disposition
may have led him into an indiscretion,
and his loud declaration that we must
prepare for war may mean nothing for
the immediate future. 1t Is to be-
hoped so.

SINGING BULLETS
Are Harmless, but tho Silent Missiles
Cause All the Trouhle.

|
Don't be afraid of a bullet that
you've heard WHISTLE" said another old
soldier. IF it sings in your ear, rest
assured that 1t will never harm you.
1t is fact, as any old soldier will tell
you, that you never hear the bullet
which hits you. 1t is problem Of
'windage,' as the boys In the army cali
! ed 1t. In other words, the bullet which
YOU hear sing has already sped past
you, and the bullet which hits you has
Missed in the ear of some other fellow
in passing before 1t got to you. 1t is
simple proposition, after all. The
singing Of the bullet Is the atmospheric
vibration which is created and the re.
slstsnce which the air offers to the
progress OF the bullet. This cannot be
detected by the ear until the bullet
has crossed parallel line with the ear.
1t may sail over your head or whizz
close to the ground, but IL 1t passes
you at all the ear will catch the sound
of Its flight. To the soldier of many
battles the voice of the bullet Is music.
| He knows that he need have no dread
of the bullet that sings in his ears. 1t
is the bullet that he does not hear that
must be feared. and 1t is this bullet
which always brings harm to him. No
soldier ever heard the bullet which in
fiicted n wound on him. / was amused
by raw soldier who was attached to
our command. 1t was his first time on
the firing line. We were skirmishing,
and some sharpshooters were having
some fun at our expense A bullet
whizzed close to him. Family we
could hear the crack OF the rife, but
1t was not distinct enough to alarm
even a novice. The. singing Of the
bullet. however, brought blanched ex-
preston to his face. He did not vince,
however. We were lying in the edge
Of the woods. Another bullet buzzed
by. I don't like the sound said the
younger soldier. Zip! Another bullet
spent the air close to his head. He
was paler still. 'Comrade,' he said to
ME, between bleached lips, 4 don't
want to be shot from ambush; let's
charge the devils! I told him not to
fear a bullet that had spoken to him
on its flight, but he did not like the
idea of lying there in the woods and
listening to the voice of these invisible
messengers of death."-Baltimore
