ROOSEVELT is RECKLESS.
His Action in Regard to Crum Casa
Savors More of Persistence
Than of Dignity.

If there could be any doubt as to Mr..
Rooseyelts possession of rash proclivi-
ties dangerous to the American people,
his late dealings with congress in the
matter of DR.. Crum's appointment fur
nish additional absolute and convincing
evidence.
Following his habit of threatening
extra sessions, the president sought to
bully congress into confirming Crum's
appointment to the port of Charleston;
declaring that he would nve the
body for no other purpose than to deal
with the matter, unless his will should
be obeyed during the session just closed.
In declining to confirm Crum's ap-
pointment in 1903 the senate stood
firmly upon the principal that appoint
ees must be acceptable to local opinion.
Upon the same principal was the re-
cent refusal based. Mr.. Roosevelt has had
abundant opportunity to consult local
opinion concerning Crum, and the pat
ent fact is that he knew of Charleston's
a~ntipathy; but was too eager to fling
wide the door of hope" since the ap-
pllcant had a dark complexion and
looked like a vote-getter. The second
even more than the first refusal of the
senate emphasizes the cratic dogma
tism of Mr.. Roosevelt. Having zone
out of his way to make unfair color dis
ordinations, the president insisted In
urging his selection upon the senate, and
the senate replied Enthusiastically. The
Roosevelt rashness is seen clearly in at
tempting to force Crum down the SEN
ate's throat after the first refusal; more
clearly in the bullying menace of an
extra session. To call an extra session
of the congress of the United States,
at the expense of the taxpayer, for no
other purpose than to crafty the spleen
or indulge the within of Mr.. Roosevelt
what could be O heedlessly despotic?
Mr.. Roosevelt cannot claim that it was
a bare threat. He is compelled to admit.
says the st. Louis Republic, that he
verify intended to follow it out to the
bitter end. Nor can he be heard to as
sert that he was animated by a princi-
pie, since he abandoned his course
through motives of policy. captivating
to his political advisers. The machine
leaders deemed his stated purpose to be
unwise. in that it would elevate the
Crum matter to the size of a national
issue. They argued that such action,
however it might appeal to the negro
vote, would repel a greater white ele-
ment. Mr.. Roosevelt compromised:
the matter was allowed to ego over."Mr.
Roosevelt thus stands convicted of the
possession of a rash purpose, attribute
BILE solely to his temperamental bent; a
purpose without judgment, and one
which if followed would have resulted
in an OUTRAGE upon the nation.

THE NEPHEW U G ON.
Showed His Mercenary Uncle He
Could Be as Saving as
Anyone.

A naval officer, recently returned from
the isthmus of Panama, according to the
New York Tribune, tells the following
story concerning the wealthiest man on
the isthmus:
"Senor NJ is known all over the 18TH
mus as the s~tingiest man who ever lived.
He will have no lights in his house except
candles, ard the lone candle in his sit
ting-room is not burned at night when he
is talking to visitors and is not compelled
to have a light.
The old man has a nephew who makes
the money fly. A short time ago he called
OIL his uncle at night. While they were
talking the old man blew out his candle.
What did you do that for?' the young
ster asked.
"'Why, we don't need the light while
we are talking the uncle replied.
while the uncle was talking earnestly
the boy began to shuttle about in the dark.
Much annoyed by the interruption, the
old man said: What are you doing?'
"'Only just taking off my trousers the
boy replied. L don't need them in the
dark and want to keep from wearing them

West Virginia Aroused.

Roberts, w. Va, May l6.--Many inter-
esting discoveries are being made and
many wonderful cures reported recently,
but nothing has been seen or heard of
in this state to equal the wonderful work
of a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills.
The people are very enthusiastic about it,
for it seems that there is no case that this
wonderful medicine cannot cure.
Among many cases reported that of
Mr.. John j. Ash, of this place, is con-
spicuous for its completeness. Mr.. Ash
was a great sufferer with Kidney trouble.
He was gradually growing worse till at
the last he was forced to get up three or
four times every night. He had tried
many medicines without any good result,
but at last he found the right one i N
Dodd's Kidney Pills. He says: "The
very first box of Dodd's Kidney Pills did
me more good than anything | took in
my life"
Now Mr.. Ash is well and can sleep all
night as comfortably as he ever could.

A STRONG CAMPAIGN ISSUE.
Executive Usurpation, as Exemplifed
by the President, Should Be
Rebuked by Patriots.

In executive usurpation, Bourke Cock.
ran found a theme worthy of his elo-
quence. There has never been a time
since the period of loose construction
began, when the executive so frequently
and so boldly ~encroached upon the rep
resentative departments of government,
as during the present administration.
By the use of threats for special ses-
sions, and the withholding of patronage.
the president has practically coerced
congress In several matters of vital i'm
portance. AS the New York Evening
Post pointedly observes:
'The president has effectively nulli-
fed the prerogatives conferred by the
constitution upon congress. He has
acted in these matters very much as if he
were defying his opponents to impeach
him, but he seems to have come out of
each encounter stronger and more law
less in temper than ever.
"In much the same way, last year, the
executive solved the currency question
by decreeing what should and what
should not be surplus reserves-a mat
ter down to that time not dreamed to be
anything but Legislative. In fact, during
this administration, constituting out of
existence law or treaty permission to do
something which it never contemplated,
has come to be a regular means of over
riding the difficulties presented by the
constitutional division of powers. All
this is, of course, the baldest sort of usur-
patton"
In calling attention to this particular
notification of popular rights, and
arousing the house of representatives to
a sense of it's responsibility in protect
ing its constitutional rights and func-
lions against usurpation, Bourke Cock
ran has rendered a real public service.
If it results in the house firmly asserting
it's rights, Mr.. Cockran's return to on
gress will prove a national benefit, says
Gunton's Magazine.
Should the democrats make executive
usurpation a campaign issue, they will
have abundant material to sustain it.
and it will have the peculiar advantage
of putting the administration advocates
severely on the defensive.

What the Republicans Fear.

The republican party has never been
more narrow, reactionary, selfish and
oppressive in its measures than in
these last eight years, and it has been
only as the restoration Of sanity in the
opposition has seemed more probable
that it has tried to placate the sober
public opinion that it has so habitually
offended. AS that restoration becomes
more certain the effect will be more
obvious and salutary. The republican
leaders are recognizing that they have
no permanent hold on the democrats,
who between 1892 and 1896 turned de-
feat into triumph for the republicans.
In proportion as these democrats are
sure of a candidate, a platform and a
party organization that they can trust
and respect the danger to republican
supremacy is seen to be mora immi-
nent and REALM Y. Times.

PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAP
Could the Country Afford Another
Profigate Administration Like
That Now in the SaddleP

The Roosevelt administration has
acquired the distinction of being the
most expensive in our history.
The second administration Of Madi-
son, including the war of 1872, cost
$3.50, 542, 1914.
The administration of Polk, includ-
ing the Mexican war, cost $173, 299, 266.
The administration of Lincoln, in
Guiding the civil war, cost $3,347, S02,-
909 in paper money, equivalent to from
81, 500, 100000 Or $4,000, 900, 900 in gold.
The first administration of McKin-
ley, including the Spanish and Philip
pine cost $1,906, 1885, gil.
The administration of Roosevelt, in
u%nbrolSen peace, has cost $2,449, 22S, 545
in gold. That, says the New York
World, is nearly four times as much as
was spent under the scandalous first
administration of Grant and three
times the cost of the first administra-
tion of Cleveland.
President Roosevelt certainly comes
high. Must we really have him?

would rather keep the bull on this side

not as restless. The south side is exclu-
sively for the lows and calves. l have
room for six COWS and six calves, but
the room is large enough for ten calves.

BAD DREAMS
Indicate Improper Diet, Usually Due
to Coffee.

One of the common symptoms of cof-
fee poisoning is'the bad dreams that
spoil what should be restful sleep. A
man who found the reason says:
Formerly | was a slave to coffee. |
was like a morphine fiend, could not
sleep at night, would roll and toss in
my bed and when l did get to sleep
was disturbed by dreams and hobgob-
Inns, would wake up with headaches
and feel bad all day, SO nervous l could
not attend to business. My writing
looked like bird tracks, | had sour
belchings from the stomach, indiges-
ton, heartburn and palpitation of the
heart, constipation, irregularity Of the
kidneys, etc.
Indeed, l began to feel I had all the
troubles that human flesh could suffer.
but when a friend advised me to leave
off coffee I felt as if he had insulted
me. I could not bear the idea, it had
such a hold on me and l refused to be-
lieve it the cause.
"But it turned out that no advice
was ever given at a more needed time,
for I finally consented to try Postum,
and with the going of coffee and the
coming of Postum all my troubles have
gone and health has returned. I eat
and sleep well now, nerves steadied
down and l write a fair hand Gas you
a see), can attend to business again
and rejoice that I am free from the

Plant Seeds in Moist Soil.

Never plant seeds in dry soil, or in
soil that is less moist than the seeds,
as the dryer soil will extract the moist
ure from the seeds, and the germ will
die. The failure of crop seeding in
sandy soils last spring was due to this.
Farmers put in the seed in a time Of
drought to "have it there all ready
when the rain should come" Coming
late, it found the seed as if dried in an
oven and with the germs all dead.
Especially was this the cas- where the
seed had been soaked to hasten germi.
