The Real Civic Hero.

Those who are called lucky are gen
orally erratic individuals that take
chances and jump at conclusions. The
luck of such people never lasts, for
when their luck turns they get ratified
and throw wisdom, if they possess any.
to the winds. President Roosevelt has
| been lucky, but it has been the luck OF
gambler who takes desperate chances
ana IS sure to meet revcrses when ev-
erythinS looks brightest for winning.
Before the Democratic national con-
ventiOn met the Roosevelt luck was at
high water mark. In spite of all the
efforts of the Republican machine poll
| ticianS he had been nominated by ac-
clamatiom, had dictated the platform
and felt so sure of his election that he
selected an Inexperienced manager of
his campaign against the protest of the
wisest leaders Of the Republican party
Since the nomination of Judge Parker
the Roosevelt luck has turned, and for
tune has sought another to lavish her
favorS upon.
The eclipse of Roosevelt began when
the star of Judge Parker appeared on
came the national hero who could be
looked upon TO do the right thing at the
right time.
The fustian hero, Roosevelt, who had
inflamed the hearts Of his followers
with questionable hcroism at. San Juan
hill, who had slain bears and cata-
mounts. the cowboy and the rough rid
or. sank into insigniticance when the
real civic hero appeared.
When President Roosevelt refused TO
receive the dcputation of miners his
good fortune had deserted him,
cranky spell possessed him.
zone reason why Republicans begin
to fear that Roosevelt luck is waning
is" says the New York Post, 'un-
doubtcdly their perception Of the awk
wardness of his having suddenly to APP
pear rs an collapsed hero. Their dCjec-
ton is really comic. They never dream
cd of this. Why, il almost looks as if
they had unconsciously drawn their
own platform 10 fit Judge Parker.
They held up Il candidate with clear
head and brave heart, ready for every
emergency How by any possibility
could those words be used of the eX-
pcctcd Democratic nominee "A mere
Judge who had never smelled powder?
Yet the provoking man quietly dis
played before the country a ready
courage in n great crisis which instant
ly made R0osevelt's lights burn dim
and caused the nation to acclaim Judge
Parker rs its foremost political figure.
There is 4 most important aspect to
all this. 1t means much for our ma
tional ideals. We are all hero worship
ers. whether we want to be or not. We
have had set before us again the great
civic virtues. home bred and nurtured
in peace. 1t is only by cherishing and
Cleaving To them and hOnoring them
that a nation can pass on the lamp of
progress"

feat Judge Parker, because the demo
cratic organization in New York City
required stipulation in the contract
for police helmets that the headgear
must bear the hatters' union label The
Knox Hat company. now fighting the
matters union, was thus deprived of a
fat contract. and hence the far-fetched
animus toward Judge Parker.
THE campaign will be begun at
once" asserted Mr.. Mcfarland. "and
Will be carried TO every state in the
country. No power on earth can stop
US. So unjust has Tammany hall been
10 us that we shall have all of our
agents appeal to their friends who are
not members Of trades unions TO fight
the democratic ticket If Tammanv
hall is type Of democracy, what we
are now having in New York would be
duplicated in the national government
if the democratic ticket were to be
successful.

fought him with savage ferocity, bit
ing one of his fingers to the bone. and
we had to tie her hand and foot TO
keep her. She appeared TO be about
forty years of age. and although her
face was rougheued and Drowned by
exposure, we felt sure that she WAS
English or American.
We took her aboard The ship. and
the captain talked to her in Il gentle
way and tried to satisfy her that we
were friends. When she grew quiet he
cast Off her bonds.
AS we did not intend to make port
for three months. the idea WAS to
transfer the woman to some other
craft. We spoke half dozen in sue
cession, but not one Of them would re
cciye her. From one. however. where
the captain had his wife aboard, an
outfit was procured, and 10 sooner was
it handed over to the caStaway than Il
great change took place in her. She
quoted down, dressed herself from
head to foot and spent Il whole day in
brushing and combing her hair.
One morning she electrified the
steward 10y saying she would eat
breakfast in the cabin, these being the
first words she had spoken since her
capture. When she emerged from her
staterOom nobody could have roco@-
nized her. She was now fairly good
looking woman. mild eyed ana shy,
and her voice was low and gentle. AS
she entered the cabin she looked about
her in a wondering way and queried OF
the captain:
Sir, viii you please tell me how l
camo aboard of this ship and what has
become Of my own wardrObe:"
When it was explained to her that
she had been taken from Lighthouse
island, where she had been living rs Il
castaway for months or years. her as
constituent was beyond utterance.
Two weeks after she came aboard of
Us she was transferred to n steamer
bound for Liverpool, and We sent her

Secretary ShaWS prayer for high

quickly than perhaps he anticipated.
The beef trust was evidently in close
telepathic touch with Secretary Shaw

though those of Us who have small in
comes and large families are on the
verge of Il beef famine. Secretary
Shaw may have known that Chairman
Cortelyou has invited the packers com
bine to contribute 10 the Republican
campaign fund. If so the cause of the
butchers strike and resulting great adj
vance in the price of meat is made
clearer. for no doubt Secretary Shaw
prays also that large contributions may
be received.

in its power and can make the beef
barunS come down." for. by ordering
