The New Craze.

The word fashion" might be de-
fined as the latest notion for pandering
to the craze for excitement in the So
ciety set, says London Truth. In this
sense ballooning is coming into fashion.
1t is being launched with all the pres
tige which money and rank can give.
Santos Dumont, who has at least the
credit of having risked his life dozen
times, has shown that. for a person
ready to throw away $4,000 or $4,000
year. some very pleasant jaunts can
be INDUCED in in midair. With COM
pact little airship. and not much bulk
Ter than a motor car, and not much
more expensive, you can sail forth
from your own piazza, pay visit to a
friend ten miles distant, and, provided
the weather is calm, You can land
again in sour own house, having
breatbed some delightful whiffs OF
fresh invigorating air.

The investigations by the govern
mental commission sent to Uganda
have discovered the cause Of the sleep
ing sickness. which has caused SO many
thousand deaths among the natives.
Buyuma Island. which had popula-
ton Of 22,000, has now but 5000. The
southern province Of Busoga has been
practically depopulated.
The first step in the discovery was
the observation Of trypanosomes in the
cerehro-spinal fluid in 1--WE cases OF the
sleeping sickness. "A further investiga-
ton showed the existence Of this para
site in the cerebro-spinaI fluid and in
the circulating blood Of all OF the cases.
AS it was closely related to the disease
Of cattle caused BY the tsetse fly, it was
suspected that the sleeping sickness
was caused in like manner BY lnfec-
ton.

1t does seem as If latterly Americans
who have got little way up in the
world do fall with ridiculous ease into
the habit of looking condescendingly
down and discussing whether what has
been so good for them is really good
for the struggling mass at the bottom.
This is not surprising, as very few of
us have the breadth Of mind to see
clearly far beyond the ends of our
noses, or the humility necessary to
a complete grasp Of the truth that the
same clay makes all flesh, says the
Saturday Evening Post. Still, it is
just little ludicrous to see any of us
putting on airs when all OF us were
only yesterday very humble folk In
deed. And this spectacle Of supercil.
iousness becomes q shouting farce
when the person affording it came by
all his superior opportunities through
inheritance and, but for the hard, COM
mon work done by father and mother,
or rough old grandpa and ignorant but
capable old grandma. would be at the
very bottom, unable to rise Let us
strive always TO keep our sense of gro
portion-and our sense of humor.

With all our modern facilities and

find him on five acres of the poorest,
most billy and unpromising soil in the
remotest part of the State; and when

sible for him to make Lying, but
If you will open your eyes the chances
are that you will find rural route

you will hear call over telephone
line, and in a little while you will hear
such cackling among the chickens
as to convince you that you have found
one cottager who needs none of your
sympathy.

Professor s. M. Balm, special agent
Of the Government for the extirpation
OF the boil weevil, is instructed to
breed an early variety of cotton
which will mature before the boil
weevil gets busy If that is the best
that he is expected to do he may as
well quit. The weevil is fore-handed
little fellow, entirely up to date, and
will individually conform his move

Contributions to the fund to aid
farmers who lost heavily in the recent

as supposed. Oranges throughout the
county have made contributions, and
few individuals have added to the

RESPECT FOR LAW.
General Principles of American Free
dom Must Be Continued.

Eve Democrats recognize the first
source of American prosperity in the
natural bounties Of God and next in
the vast extent in which between the
Atlantic and the Pacific, Canada and
the Gulf has been tried the experiment
in human and industrial freedom OF
equal rights and no special privileges
Of hostility to large military and naval
expenditures, and preference for SIM
ple and inexpensive administration
and dislike Of personal and summary
restraints.
From the marvellous success OF our
country resulting from its century and
more of free self-governing, law-abid-
Ing, self-respecting citizenship, regard
full Of the rights Of other men, we
Democrats conclude not that the gen
eral principles of American freedom
should be reversed, but that they
should be continued. We would have
not less respect for law, but more re-
spect; not less freedom OF trade, but
more freedom; not less respect for the
rights of her countries and races, but
more respect; not more, but less for
eign entanglements; not increase, but
decrease in the proportion Of military
and naval and general governmental
expenditure to the ability Of the people.
ITO promote all these, because we
believe in all these, we hail with salts
faction and enthusiasm the nomina-
ton Of Alton B. Parker for the Presi-
dency and Henry G. Davis for the Vice
Presidency. They stand for a return
to respect for law and order, national
and international; for a peaceful and
industrial United States as against the
militaristic and wasteful ideals OF our
President; for sincere and persistent
effort to reform the tariff, especially to
abolish or reduce those duties the plain
effect of which is not to extend or di-
versify American industry, but to stine
its freedom; for a return to pubic
economy and halt in enormously in
creasing expenditure; for resolute in
vest.gation of executive departments:
for the speediest practicable grant OF
that independence to the Philippine
people which alone is consistent with
tho fundamental doctrines of American
Democracy; for a dissolution OF the
partnership between the great corpora
lions of the country and the United
States Government For these and for
other good things do the Democratic
candidates stand. Therefore, 1t is that
you and I support them. Therefore.
It is that they shall and will be cleo
ted" From Edward NJ. Shepards
speech in BROOKLYN

WE ARE A "WORLD
POWER"
Pulitzer Reminds Roosevelt Such
Was the Case Before
He Was Born.

The assurance with which you, Mr..
President, born in 1858, assume to have
discovered the United States and its
policies is even more astounding than
the policies themselves. You tell Us
that the Monroe doctrine will be an
object Of derision unless we Lave
mighty navy. The Monroe doctrine
was thirty-fve years old when you
were born, and doing remarkably well,
as it has been ever since. You tell us
that without a still newer, still bigger
frst-class navy we must definitely
make up our minds to accept secon-
dairy position, not only in political but
in commercial matters. When you cut
YOUR first tooth we had the greatest
merchant marine in the world-greater
even than England's-and our navy
was insignificant. Our mercantile ship
ping on blue water has steadily de-
clined under the restrictive policies
you favor, and it is smaller now than
It was when the first keel OF the new
navy was laid.
You tell us that under your leader
ship we have just become world
power" What were we-pardon the
personal llustration-more than
generation before you were born, when'
with only ten million people and in
significant ornaments, we hung the
Monroe doctrine into the teeth OF the
Holy Alliance?
Considering your intelligence ana
your knowledge of American history
YOUR attitude seems a mystery. what
ran be it's explanation?
What can be the purpose OF all these
shrieks for a mighty army and navy
these frenzied denunciations of cow
ards" "weaklings" and "cravens," who
sordidly mind their own business IN
stead of flying to arms, with no dis
cernible provocation; these frantic
wavings OF the mailed fist in the faces
Of the nations? The spectacle is ex-
traordinary and bewildering. The
country is In no danger from any
power of Europe. All the nations OF
the Old World are watching each other
afraid of each other, and Infinitely
more in dread Of US, the terrifying
american PERIL" than we could pos
sibly be of them. Not one Of them
would dream of adding a war with US
to its other dangers, if we gave 1t
chance to escape. If we could stand
against England with our great anna
ments ninety years ago, when we had
only eight million people, what nave
we to fear now with eighty millions
and eight hundred times the resources
and power for war? [From the New
York World.]
