DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME.

If the Brooklyn Eagle reasons rightly the Democrats
will be lucky if they do not make capital for Mr. Roose
welt in the coming campaign The Eagle, which is inde
pendently Democratic, says:
Had truly American Democrat been president he
would prove adherence to the gold standard the
followed in the Philippines the graduated reduction of
the army the prompt recognition of the Panama repub
ic the steps for the recognition of the autonomy of
China the progressive increase of the navy the reogan
zation of the naval system and few other things
which have been done attempted These things
and right They will never be undone. Had Dem

occur but would be futile and foolish. Having been
done by Republican, Democratic attack them will be

sKyscRApERs AND SMALL HEADS.

An interesting medical theory is going the rounds.
Dr. Warner has examined 100000 London children, and
he that the heads of children especially girls
growing smaller He thinks it may be due to the high
buildings in London.
Now is that when the resident of American
city, New York, Chicago smaller city goes tc
London. he is surprised to find that the buildings not
high that considering the immense size of the city the
buildings remarkably low. The United Kingdom
contains many times inhabitants the mile than
the United States yet is in the latter country that the
skyscraper has been developed to the highest point
AS the London buildings not exceptionally high,
but exceptionally low further research may show
the heads of ondoners not exceptionally small
but exceptionally large Then the theory Will be all right
again The big heads will be due to the low buildings.
The moral is Take OF the theories the facts
will take care OF themselves.
