The other portrait was that Of an

tents Of those four galleries are not
listed in the paper bound catalogue
Not being aware Of this fact, a gentle
man noted the old number on the

The number happened to be that Of a

The visitors to the Philippine reser-

Most Of the Pike shows are purpose

The most delicious Of all the tool

street and trust magnates, all of which
takes time and lots OF it.
In fact, most Of the time Of Mr..
Roosevelt since he was accidentally
indicted into the presidential office
has been occupied in like strenuous
occupation, much to the detriment Of
the serious business of the govern
ment. Think Of the record breaking
swing around the circle at ne expense
Of the railroads." says the New York
World: 1.-The balancing of Plat with
Odell, the placating Of this enemy and
the crushing of that, the careful selec-
ton Of delegates, the procuring Of cop
per-bOund instructions, the choice of a
running mate, the elimina ton of all
but the plastic CortelyOu from consid-
grafton for national chairman, the can
ming Of the platform, the choice of
orators, the revision and toning down
Of those eXtravagant words of eulogy
which rose SO spontaneously from the
fu!lness of his heart to the lips of
Frank S. Black-would it be too much
to say that these matters Of such great
personal import occupied half of his
waking hours and all of his drea ming
ones"

A Lucky ShOeblaCk.

ber's shop. and while there heard Il
customer read an advertisement offer
ing Il reward for Information as to his
whereabouts. On hearing his name
read out as heir to fortune Of thirty
thousand pounds the shoeblack jump
ed up and exclaimed, Hurry up;
that's me. I'm Off" Flinging down
4 few pence he put on his hat and
went out. The people in the shop
regarded him as insane. He walked
all the way to the town where the
solicitors who had advertised for the
missing man We're in practice, his own
means to pay the fare being insult
ficient. 1t seems that the estate to
which he has succeeded belonged to
his uncle. who died intestate. 1t has
since been valued at fifty thousand

Pleasure and Politics.

If anyone thinks that President
Roosevelt is not busy these days, be
cause he is not talking for publication
they are much mistaken. The Presi-
dent is fully employed from morning
to night, although he only devotes a
"short hour for the duties of his
office 1t frets and worries him tina
he cannot be more in the public eye,
but the Republican leaders have i'm
pressed on him that he must keep
quiet. SO he takes long ramps, rides
and drives, camps out, boxes, wrestles,
fences with the broad sword and sin
gle sticks, rows, chops trees, plays ten
mis- with his cabinet-the younger
members-shoots with rife and revol-
yer, and to fill in spare time jiu jitsu,
the japanese muscular training for
mula. Those are the amusements.
Then there are political conferences

telyou, Addicks, Black and LOU

A Republican RIa st.

Even the most hide bound Repub-
lican newspapers occasionally ac-
knowledge the way the protective tar
if plumbers the people for the benefit
Of the protected trusts. Now the cleo
ton approaches and the Republican
platform and President Roosevelt have
both declared that protection must be
adhered 70, the organs grind out the
same tunes.
The Chicago Inter Ocean is perhaps
the most intensely partisan and truly
loyal of all the Republican organs yet
on Sept. 16 last it evidently felt that
the G. 0. p. must be stayed in it's way
ward course. Of protecting the few at
the expense Of the many or disaster to
the Republican party would be newt
able. The editorial referred to shows
that the boasting Of President Roose-
welt about our prosperity under Re
publican policies is only for part of
the people, and that the majority are
getting worse off through the in
creased cost Of living. The Democrats
have SO often proved these facts that
it is an old tale, and thought by many
to be exaggerated for partisan pur-
poses, but here comes the bitter, biting
blast from this organ of protection
which in sane moment tells the truth
when it says:
Yet it may be doubted if one-half
the heads of American families are in
as favorable a position as they were
in 1897. The third party-the major
ity who are neither capitalists nor able
TO fortify themselves behind labor
union walls-is to-day giving more
proportionately than in 1897, while
getting only the same.
when capitalists combine to raise
prices, reduce expenses, or anticipa te
profits it is this third party that pays
the higher prices, stands the reduction
Of expenses, and converts the antici-
pated profits into actual ones"
It is well to ponder on that and con-
slider whence it came, to thoroughly
understand the admissions of the enor-
nifty of the crime that the Republicans
comes, and then further consider an
other paragraph from the same deliv-
erance:
'The plain truth is that fully one
half the workers of the United States
the men whose incomes are from
5000 to $1,000 year, the men who
are neither in trusts nor labor unions.
have not been getting their share of
the national prosperity. They are
working for the prosperity of capital
and organized labor, but no one is
working for them. And under this
burden they are becoming exhausted
That is as the Inter Ocean says,
1.-The plain truth" But the men who
control the dominant party still shout.
Let well enough alone" Stand pat"
Hands off"

Political Potpourri.

ment Of Commerce and Labor on the
cost of living and wages will not foo
a single wage Garner or his wife. if he
has one, either.
J. Pierpont Morgan is for Roose
welt. He was given the handling OF
the Panama Canal payment, with the
understanding that he would "let uu
on Roosevelt"
When the experts Of the Department
Of Commerce and Labor made out
their schedule Of what it costs the
workingman to live, did they allow for
the high price of beef and the fact
that good many are forced to vese-
tartan diet?
j. Pierpont Morgan tells the -Four
Hundred at Newport that things are
looking better all the time" and in
ferentially that stocks are a good pur-
chase. More than year ago Mr..
Morgan gave out a similar tip, and a
complete collapse in the stock market
FOLLOWED within a few months.

will again adopt the expedient Of
