Personal.

Alexander ]. Cassatt finished his
education at Heidelberg University at
20 years of age and joined a survey
ing party in Georgia. Then he en-
tered the service of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company as a rodman, from
which position he worked his way
up.

HIS AGE NOT AN OBJECTION.

Former Secretary of War Root, in
his address notifying Senator Fair
banks of his nomination for Vice Pres
ident, hoped to create a general feel
ing that 1t would be a mistake to elect
Henry G. Davis, the Democratic NOM
inee for Vice President, on account of
his age. Immediately after the deliv-
cry of that speech it was thought by
many that he had made a strong point
against the Democratic vice presidential
nominee, but. as the discussion of the
point he raised has progressed in the
public prints, public opinion seems to
have undergone q change. and now
the feeling appears to be that the DEM
ocrats acted wisely in nominating him.
Many instances in ancient and mod
ern history have been mentioned Of
men as old as Mr.. Davis. If not older,
who played prominent parts in public
affairs. A writer In Mondays New
York Sun, for instance. calls attention
to the value of the counsel of aged
men, and the association at all times
and by all people OF advanced years
with sagacity and moderation" In
the course of his article he says: "Old
age need not, unless extreme, bring
with it pathological senility, or even
conspicuous decay, especially in men
who have lived as has the active Vir-
ginia statesman, and there is no earth
ly reason to suppose he will be inca
pacitated four years hence; for he ap-
pears to have led vigorous, healthy
existence, to have been free from vices
OF all kinds. and to-day is immeasura-
bly, the intellectual and physical SUI
perior OF many a younger man."
Mr.. Davis. although past so years
of age. appears younger than many
men Of 80. It is probable that he is
able to work harder, and more hours
day, than half the men now in pub
lie life. And his mind is as clear and
alert as it was twenty years ago.
1t is a safe prediction that Mr.. Davis
will be attending to his large bust
ness affairs when many OF those who
are now saying he is too old TO hold
such an important office as that of Vice
President are in their graves. He
doesn't look to be over S. years of age
and he moves like a strong and healthy
man Of so. There are old men like Mr..
Davis men who have led clean, whole
some lives, and who have always been
active mentally and physically, in all
parts of the country. Their chances
of living until they are 80 years old or
more are good. II Mr.. Davis should
suddenly give UP all business. and live
a life OF leisure, he would, IN all prob
ability live but a short time, but IL he
continues his present active life with
out assuming burdens that become
source OF worry the probability is he
will see His ninetieth birthday. and.
that too. with his faculties practically
unimpaired.

Mountain Air to Blame.

A new guest arrived at a New Halnp-

AN IMPORTANT CLUB.

The Parker Constitution Club which
some of the most distinguished law
yers of New York city have formed
sets forth in it's resolutions what
promises to be the paramount issue
in the campaign, namely, the DISPOSE
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt to place him
self above the constitution. The men,
bers Of this club see the necessity of
unfolding constitutional government,
and adhering strictly to the law.
Mr.. Roosevelt's defenders deny that
up a policy of autocratic force, to
usurp legislative functions and to COM
NIT the nation to violations of in
ternational justice, but the record he
has made during the short time he
has been President leaves no room for
doubt that he is inclined to follow his
own will in all matters pertaining to
the government rather than observe
strictly his constitutional limitations.
If this We're not his record such men
as James Carter, William HornbloWer
and John G. Carlisle wouldn't be or
ganizing a club to advance constitu-
tional government, civic freedom and
adherence to the law through the cleo
ton of Alton B. Parker to the presi-
dency. By his acts Mr.. Roosevelt has
alarmed thinking men in all parts of
the country. His action in placing
thousands of Union veterans on the
pension roll without amy other au-
thority than his own, was an assump-
ton of the functions of the legislative
branch of the government. His course
in the Panama affair has been charac-
terized as a violation of international
justice and there are other acts of his
that are calculated to make the people
think he is too dangerous a man to
have in the White House.
No harm may come to the republic
from the things he has done, but If,
as an accidental President, he is in
clined to overstep the bounds of the
presidential Office and do things not
sanctioned by the constitution, what
might he not do il he were to be elect
ed President? He would then feel his
acts and his methods were approved
by the people, and he might go to
much greater lengths in administer
ing the government in accordance with
his will.
No one Of course accuses Mr.. Roose-
welt of an intention to substitute au-
tocratic force for constitutional meth
DDS, but he is so constituted that he
fails to recognize the limits of his au-
thority and is prone to substitute his
own will for authority that should
come from another source. He might
make presidents that would be used
at some future time by an unscrupu-
lous President to destroy civic freedom.
The wiser plan, therefore, is to keep
out of the White House a man who
would likely make dangerous prece-
dents and choose as the chief magis-
trate man who would scrupulously
respect the constitution and the laws.

One woman in the West has asked
the court for a divorce because her
husband loved her too much and there
was no excitement in the household.
Following close upon this is the plea
OF a Tacoma woman for freedom from
a husband that is constantly praying
and singing religious songs. Strenu-
BUSINESS seems to be one of the chief
requirements of husband out in the
West.

they dispose of the stolen goods.

Alabama Democrats, under the lead
Of ex-Congressman Shelly, have hit
upon a plan which seems certain to win
many Democratic votes in the North.
The plan is to form clubs whose MEM
bers pledge themselves to write per-
sonal letters to business men and
bankers OF the North and East, point
ing out the dangers Of the election of
Roosevelt and the continuance of his
negro policy, not only to the South,
but to the business peace of the East
as we'll. With Northern business men
looking more and more to the South
each year, these letters will undoubted-
iy show their effect in increasing Par
ker votes. AS the South is solidly
Democratic there seems to be no bet
ter way in which Southern Democrats
can aid the party than by entering
heartily into this plan and exerting ev-
cry effort to yote-winning in the
North.

Despite every effort of the Republi-
can party to the contrary, that labor
problem is constantly bobbing up be-
fore them. The labor unions of Penn
sylvania are now issuing a call for a
great mass meeting of delegates to
frame resolutions to be sent to all
parts of the country asking laboring
men everywhere 40 vote for Parker
and Davis. The failure to interfere
in the Colorado trouble seems to have
counteracted every effect of the ac-
tfon of the President during the big
anthracite strike in Pennsylvania.
Then, too, the Pennsylvania unions
charge that the State Capitol is be-
ing built with "scab" labor. This
latest situation seems fraught with
embarrassment for the Republican
managers.

From reliable local sources and
from the market reports In various
cities In the east, says the Fulton
Sun Of this week, the mule busi-
ness IL practically at n standstill,
and prices are badly of. Il Is re-
ported that there are hundreds OF
mules now on the markets for
which there IL no sale. and the
prices are falling rapidly. Il is
said that mules which sold only n
short time ago for $50 would now
fall far short Of that price. and
probably not bring over siUO. The
mule market, according to the best
informed buyers, has practically
gone to pieces, and IL is thought
that many Missouri buyers will
fall short on their profits this sea-
son. The big drop In cotton Is
said to bc one cause of the decline
In mules. Only short time ago
cotton was selling ut II cents. while
the price now i- about ! cents
The larger part of the Missouri
mules are shipped south, and 1t l.
