Lippincott's Magazine tells this story
OF Edward e. Lee OF Baltimore, man
sger OF q well-known wickerware
house, who is a tend after coupon col
Letting:
He had been collecting all kinds Of
tags and coupons bearing premiums
for some time when he one day no.
ticed an advertisement of a New Jer-
sey firm that upon receipt of fifteen
of their tags they would forward one
chance for a series of prizes the first
prize being a horse and a runabout.
Mr.. Lee began industriously to get
all the tags he could find until he had
the requisite number, which he for
warded. A few days later he was no
tilted that he had won the first prize.
Immediately following this letter came
a tiny rocking horse.
He sat down and wrote a sarcastic
letter to the firm:
Il beg to acknowledge receipt of the
horse" he wrote, but you failed to
enclose the runabout."
In an early mail he received this let.
ter:
Dear Strive have your letter ac-
knowledging receipt of the horse. AS
for the runabout, go chase yourself.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Montgomery Advertiser (Dem. }
says; 1.-THE Democrats started out
right at st. Louis in calling John Sharp
Williams to preside and the opening
act needs only to be followed with the
nomination of a safe candidate. and
the adoption of a sane platform to Sc
cure victory next November"
The Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.) says:
I'VE think that this convention will
take its place among the historical
gatherings of the great Democracy,
and that its action will be capable of
commentator to those who regard
party as a choice, not as a fetish. and
who will unhesitatingly determine, be-
tween parties, the course of our gov
eminent for the next four years"
The Charleston News and Courier
(Dem) says: Speaking not only to
the delegates assembled at st. Louis.
but to the country at large. Mr.. Will
liams has said many things and said
them exceedingly we'll. As a cam
paign document his speech will prove
invaluable; but II is also deserving of
consideration somewhat more dig
nified than that which is usually ac-
corded TO similar partisan utterances. "
The Philadelphia Record (Dem }
says: 1.-THE speech of Representative
John Sharp Williams made when chos-
en- temporary chairman Of the Demo-
cratic National Convention viii be read
with delight in all parts of the coun-
try. 1t is a reply to the great speech
Of Elihu Root at the opening of the
Republican Convention IN Chicago; a
scathing criticism Of the platform and
the policies of the Republican party
and a forecast OF Democratic intention.
The speech Is a terrible reading be-
tween the lines OF Mr.. Roots closely
reasoned and carefully cogent argu-
ment In which the Republican party
was deified as dispensing Providence
and the Democratic opposition held re-
sponsible for all mistakes and default.
II was a great speech by one OF the
foremost Democrats OF the country"

NOT A vEGETARIAN.

According to Washington dispatches,
Mr.. Ross l. Clark. the cotton planter
living near Houston, Tex, who has
applied for an injunction to prevent
DR.. O. F. Cook, of the Department of
Agriculture, from turning loose near
his plantation Guatemalan ants
that he is taking to Texas
to make war on the boil
weevil, has acted without know
ing all the facts in the case. DR.. Cook
says that he doesn't intend to let the
ants loose on Mr.. Clark's cotton farm
or the farm of anybody else unless
there is an application for them. They
are to be taken to the government ex-
pertinent farm, and there tested as
to their ability to fight the weevil to
finish
Mr.. Clark, in discussing the ques-
ton of taking out an injunction, said
that the Guatemalan ant might be
more destructive to the cotton plant
than the weevil, and that if not harm
full to the cotton plant it might be
annoying to the negro cotton pickers
~ SUN al tAltTl Lndl LllGy WOulu
refuse to go into the cotton fields.
DIR. Cook says that ne knows all
about the ant. 1t isn't a vegetarian
and isn't the sort Of a creature to
bother negro cotton pickers, even If
the cotton pickers are protected by
but few clothes. 1t is the enemy of
the boil weevil, however, and pursues
it and stings 1t to death.
The foundation of the enmity be-
tween the ant and the weeVil is said
to be this: The ant is fond of the
liquid that is found in what are called
the nectarnes of the cotton plant The
weevil shuts off the supply of this
liquid by destroying the cotton bios
soms-that is, the blossom withers
after the weevil has operated upon it,
and none of the liquid the ant wants
is Forthcoming. Hence the ant, know
ing the weevil. keeps a watch for him,
and when he sees him about to enter
the blossoms he attacks him and stings
him to death
OF course it is natural that there
should be apprehension in respect to
the ant, but as the ant will not be
permitted to go forth on it's mission
of clearing the cotton fields of the de-
structive weevil until it has been thor
oughly demonstrated on the govern
ments experiment farm that it Won't
hurt the cotton plant, on any other
kind of vegetation, and will not sting
the cotton pickers there is no good
reason why there should be uneasiness
and apprehension in regard to the
Guatemalan bug.
As a matter of fact the cotton farm
ers of Texas ought to give the gov
eminent all the assistance they can
in finding an enemy Of the boil weevil,
and. in doing that they ought to be
willing to take a little risk, in view
of the fact that the experiments are
wholly for their benefit.

THE BUILDING LINE question.

We are confident that the Mayor is
as anxious as any other citizen to do
all he can in the direction of increas-
ing the attractiveness of homes in this
city. He has taken notice of the con-
tention of Col. Mercer that It is with
in the power of the city to fix building
lines, and has had the city attorney
examine the matter.
The city attorney takes the position
that the city has no authority to fix
building lines, unless it buys the land
between the proposed building line and
the street. Col. Mercer contends that
the city has the right to refuse TO grant
building permits, unless the applicants
for permits agree 10 build i'm accord
ance with lines fixed by the city. We
do not know whether or not the city
attorney examined this point. II not.
wouldn't II be advisable for the Mayor
to get his opinion on II. II It is adverse.
why not do the other thing which Col.
Mercer suggests. namely, go to the
Legislature and set authority 70 es-
tablish building lines? We assume that
such a course wouldn't be advised UNI
less the Legislature can grant such au-
thority.
This is a matter that is of interest
TO all citizens. II Is a fact that the
homes that are being built in the new
part OF the city are not as attractive
as they should be. that is. the great
majority Of them. They are lacking
what they ought TO have, particularly
In this climate, namely, yards about
them, and especially little flower gar
dens and grass plats IN front Of them.
The homes would be far more attrac-
tive than they are II they were set
back from the street and the spaces
in front Of them were beautined with
grass, flowers and sbrubbery. II the

A NUT ron MORTON no CRACK.

Mr.. Paul Morton, the new Secre-
tary of the Navy, has a troublesome
question to settle 1t is labor
question, and it will have to be
handled with great delicaoy if votes
are to be made for Mr.. Roosevelt in
the pending campaign.
The International Association of
Mechanics some time ago asked that
the wages of machinists employed in
Washington Navy Yard be increased
from $3.50 to $500 per day, and board
of Washington Navy Yard officials re-
fused to grant the request. This was
not satisfactory to the machinists. and
they appealed to Secretary Moody.
That official promptly turned them
down. Then they appealed to the
President, with the result that he or
dered that another board be called to
pass upon the questions at issue.
1t is expected that the new board will
follow the precedent set by the board
that first passed upon an application
for an increase in wages. Then the
matter viii come before Mr.. Morton.
He was vice president of a great
Western railroad system before he ac-
cepted the portfolio of the Navy and.
doubtless, finds a good deal of salts
faction in a fight with labor unions
Anyway the outcome of this demand
for higher wages in the Washington
Navy Yard is awaited with q great
deal OF interest.
The point is made that u the Presi-
dent doesn't uphold the labor organiza-
ton in its demand for an increase
in wages he may lose a big section Of
the labor vote in the coming presiden-
tial election. The fact that he has or
dered another Investigation OF the
matter would seem to indicate that it
is his purpose to grant the petition OF
the mechanics.
But Mr.. Morton will have to deal
with the petitioners before the Presl-
dent does, and it is a question whether
or not he will pursue a course that will
bring a labor issue into the presiden-
tial campaign.
Mr. Morton has had plenty Of ex-
perience in handling labor organiza-
tions, and it is probable that he will
| try to avoid a break with the one
i'm the navy yard. From the out
look. however, he will have to make
some pretty big concessions in order TO
adjust differences which have been
brought to his attention. He may not
| know anything about ships and the
sea- but he will be a valuable member
OF the cabinet. and will earn his sal
airy II he can keep the labor unions on
| good terms with the President.

st. Louis Convention stories.

The following stories of the st. Louis
Convention are clipped from the spe-
cial reports of several papers:
James Creelman, the bosom friend of
emperors and kings, wanted better
view of the firing line than he could
get from his press seat at the con-
vention. He bribed an usher to give
him an usher's badge for little while,
and stationing himself in front of the
delegates section continued Observa-
tons.
Here, you," said a delegate at his
elbow, take this note to Chairman
Williams on the stage"
Creelman, aghast, looked at the man
and perceived that he held a written
missive toward him.
What" gasped Creelman. What
do you think 1 am, a messenger boy"
What are you getting chesty
about? "retorted the delegate. You
are an usher aren't your"
Ripping the usher's badge from his
person, Creelman hurriedly made for
his own press seat.
