President D. R. Francis of the St.
Louis Exposition laughed heartily at
some of the stories told him during
the recent Democratic Convention, and
recompensed his guests with the fol-
lowing, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
"A preacher had learned from the
local paper that the coming winter
would abound in socials, receptions,
dances and card parties. Clubs were
being organized and the halls engaged,
and the inducements for a season of
gayety were very alluring. On the
Sabbath following the publication of
this item a scathing rebuke on the
frivolties of life was delivered from
the pulpit Some of the members went
home indignant. Said Mrs. Jones to
her husband:

WINS Barkentine Rugged.

A situation in which the new Secre-
tary of the Navy, Paul Morton, found
himself the other day has recalled to
the officials of the department an in
cident in which President Roosevelt
figured while assistant secretary of
the navy, according to the Brooklyn
Eagle.
One day a high officer of the navy
noted for his technical knowledge of
things nautical, walked in, and after
some general conversation remarked,
in an absent minded sort of way: Il
certainly think the gunboat Annapolis
should be barkentine rugged"
Mr.. Roosevelt, perhaps recognizing
the others superior knowledge of ma
val matters, jumped out of his chair,
banged his desk and cried: why, of
course she should, admiral. OF course
she should. I'll see that it is done"
And then he sat down and wrote
about twenty letters to the naval con-
structors and other officers, asking
their views. When the replies were all
in Mr.. Roosevelt sent for the chief
instructor. Il have here" he said,
when that official entered his office,
about twenty letters from some of
the best men in the navy, and every
one of them says he thinks the gun
boat Annapolis should be barkentine
rigged.''
Il think so, too" said the chief in
structor, in surprise.
Then why isn't she barkentine
rigged?" inquired Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt, with some heat.
She is sir" said the chief instruc-
tor.

The President will have to interfere
between the warning interests in Colo
RADIO or give a reason for not doing
so. The situation in that state is
such that people in all parts of the
country are taking sides in regard to
it, The claim is made that the Presi-
dent ought to interfere and restore or
der, and it is also asserted that there
is no legal ground on which he can
interfere.
Last Saturday a dozen or more
men, some Of them quite prorni-
nent, were deported from the Cripple
Creek district Of Teller county by citi-
zens' alliances aided by the state
troops. These deported men have sent
a petition to the President begging
him to use his power to restore to
them their rights. They have also
taken steps to have those who were
prominent in their deportation in
dicted.
1t is doubtful if the President re-
spends favorably to the petition. In
the first place he doesn't want to get
mixed up in labor troubles in a presi-
Dental year, and, in the second place,
the governor of Colorado seems able
to handle the situation. At least,
the Governor isn't asking for
the assistance of the United
States authorities. If he were
doing nothing, and letting the rioters
do as they pleased. there might be
some reason for federal interference, but
as long as the Governor is trying to
preserve order and seems to be meet
ing with fair success the way doesn't
seem open for the President to order
out the United States troops for serv-
ice in the state.
1t is true, of course, that certain
men claim they are being oppressed
and denied their rights, but are not the
courts open to them? If it were shown
that portion of the people were
deprived of their rights, and that the
state refused to protect them or af
ford them relief, the President might
consider a case had been presented
the situation now presents itself it
looks as if he would come to the con-
clusion that the people of Colorado are
able yet awhile to take care of their
own affairs. And he will probably say
so in response to the petition.
1t does look, of course, as if the
course pursued by the Governor were
high handed, but it seems he has au
thority of the Supreme Court of his
state for deporting citizens. 1t may
be that the citizens alliances have
gone outside of the law in what they
have done. If SO. the aggrieved par
ties have job for the courts rather
than for United States troops.
We have no doubt the President
would like to have a hand in what
is going on in Colorado, but he is
afraid that interference might endan-
ger his election to the presidency.
Hence he is going to let the mining or
CARNATIONS, the citizens alliances and
the state authorities fight out their
differences the best they can without
help from him.

J. Ogden Armour was talking to a

butchers strike, says an exchange.
When the butchers have trouble, y
said one of the reporters, 'is it true
Mr.. Armour, that the public pays?"
The meat millionaire laughed.

Sometimes, though" he went on, "the
public pays when the butcher gets in
trouble. For instance:
"A butcher had cut off some meat
that had been paid for and was carry
ing it in from the street to his patron S
kitchen.
mo sooner did he enter the yard
however, than a big black dog pinned
him to the wall. There he stood, ter
ror-stricken, until the mistress of the
house appeared.

Announcement is made that the Re
publican speakers will discuss local
questions in the localities which they
visit and that for this reason experts
on certain subjects will be sent into
certain fields to explain what the ad-
ministration has done along these
lines. This promises to be exception
ally interesting. In Colorado and Chi
cago an unusually good speaker will
be needed to point out what Roosevelt
has done for the cause of labor? In
West Virginia an expert will discuss
the tendency of the administration to
wipe out the race question? In all sec
tons it will be explained how the Re-
publican party has dealt the trusts a
death blow? Tax payers will be shown
the tendency of the imperialistic party
to reduce taxes? Altogether it seems
that if this plan is to be carried out
what Chairman Cortelyou needs is not

Not WORM Noticing.

The trial term of the Supreme Court
was being held in the county town, and
the court room in the County Court
House was crowded.
The most eminent lawyers of the

years practice. -Gray-haired lawyers

very much to the surprise of the older
lawyers.
The jury having brought in a verdict
against the client of the fedgling. the
court adjourned for dinner. Several
of the best known lawyers dined at
the judges table at the hotel, and all
were eager to hear from him why he
did not commit the young man for con-
tempt, but for some time silence
reigned.
One lawyer, an old friend of the
judge, finally put the question, severe
ly commenting upon the words of the
boy.

a measly little yellow dog my father
once had that used to go out and bark

The judge paused and went on with

silence for a few minutes. AS he made
no effort to resume his story, the law

THE TAX RATE.


The tax rate for this year has been
fixed at $3.50 on the $1,000. Under the
recent law the limit is fixed at IS 90 on
the $1,000. The rate, therefore, is 20
cents on the $1,000 under the limit.
What becomes of the statement of
the chairman of the Senate Judiciary
Committee that if $1.OO0.O0O were given
the public schools there would be a
shortage of $225,OOO? The understanding
seemed to be that he meant the short
age would be that much if the tax rate
were IS 90 on the $1,000. Here we have
it fixed at $3.50 and we assume that
there will be no shortage. The Gov
ernor and Controller General would
hardly fix a rate that would result in
a shortage, and thus compel the state
to become a borrower and the payer of
interest on borrowed money.
1t would be interesting to know
whether or not the rate that has been
agreed upon will preclude the necessity
for borrowing money. 1t will be re-
called that the state borrowed very
considerable amount last year with
which to pay the school teachers. VIII
the system of borrowing have to be
continued, or will the rate that has
been agreed upon be sufficient to meet
all obligations? A statement of the
states finances. showing their condi-
ton exactly, would be timely.
1t is certainly gratifying that the
state is able to get along this year
on tax rate of $3.50, in view of the
increase in the school appropriation
and the making of several special APP
preparations of considerable amounts.
Now if the Legislature. at its next ses-
sion, will submit the question of bien-
NAL sessions to the people the way will
probably be opened for a still further
reduction of the tax rate. Why the
people submit to paying for a session
of the Legislature every year is one
of the things that are difficult to un-
derstand. We are sure they don't
want so much legislation, especially as
most of it is of no benefit to them
whatever, and yet they seem so much
under the influence of the politicians
that they don't rise UP in their might
and demand the removal of the unnec-
essary burden.
In all the states but four annual ses-
sions have been abolished, and the re-
form gives great satisfaction. 1t would
give great satisfaction in this state.
Perhaps after a while the people will

rate and will see the surest way of
getting It is by paying out less for
legislation.
