.AN 1NrEllEsrING QUESTION.

j. Samuel McCue, ex-Mayor OF
Charlottesville, Va, who was convict
ed of murder in the first degree a day
or two ago. carries about $4,000 of
life insurance, and the companies
which issued the policies are in. doubt
as to whether or not they will have to
pay them in the event of the execu-
ton of McCue. That he viii be
hanged there doesn't seem to be much
doubt. While it is true that the ev-
idence produced against him was
wholly circumstantial it was strong
and convincing. McCue's victim was
his wife. and the evidence showed that
he had on several occasions threatened
to take her life.
But why should the insurance com
panies have any doubt about their liza
bility in the event of McCue's death
on the scaffold? Only one OF the pol
icies has clause in it declaring it
void in the event that the holder of
it dies from an act of justice, and
that one was issued by a Virginia
company, but the chances are the
courts wouldn't sustain the company
if it should refuse to pay
So few of the class of people that
patronize life insurance companies are
victims of the extreme penalty of the
law that, apparently. the companies
have not thought it advisable to at
tempt to relieve themselves Of liabil-
ity when their policy holders suffer
death as a penalty for crime. No
doubt there have been rnurderers ex-
ecuted who held life policies of insur-
ance, but the number is so small that
it would hardly be worth the while of
the insurance companies to attempt
to escape liability in such cases. Pol
Icy holders who commit murder have
no intention Of defrauding the insur-
ance companies, and, hence, the com
panies have nothing to complain Of.
McCue's children would be objects
of charity if he should be executed
unless the life Insurance policies
should be paid. His means were ex-
hausted by his trial. 1t is a pretty
safe assumption that the companies
will have to pay the policies ON Nc
Cues life in the event OF his execu-
ton.

MIR. RoosEvELTs INVOLVEMENT.

! MIR. ROOSENELT'S ANNODNCEmfSNA H
Mr.. Roosevelfs statement that he
will not be a candidate for President
again is a notice to the politicians Of
his party that he intends TO follow his
own Judgment in the administration Of
his office as well as a statement TO
the country that he thinks he will
| have had practically two terms when
lie has completed the one to which
he has Just been elected and that he
believes in the two-term tradition.
The leaders of his party have found
him hard to manage, and if they could
have had their way he wouldn't have
been the party's nominee for President.
Now that he has been elected. and
feels that he has the Endorsement of
the country he will. more than ever,
be inclined to do as he pleases.
No doubt his aim will be to make
such a record that will entitle him to
be regarded as one of the great Pres
idents. The South is interested in this
record to the extent of Knowing how
he win deal with matters which con-
Germ her particularly.
viii it be his purpose to force the
negro to the front. or will he recog-
nze the fact that it is practically i'm
possible for two races, one superior
to the other-races which are separate
and distinct-to occupy the same ter
ritory in peace and harmony if they
exercise the same political rights? The
way is open to him to be Of great serv-
ice to the South, and, that too, without
being in any respect unjust to the
negro. 1t is only necessary for him to
act in accordance with a common
sense view of the situation. If, how
ever, he undertakes to lead his party
in the direction of legislation that has
for it's object political and social equal
ity for the negro, he can do the South
an incalculable amount of harm with
out doing the negro any good.
What the South has thus far done
towards limiting the right of the ne
gro to vote she has done for the pur-
pose of self-preservation. She didn't
do it to insure political power to any
political party or because Of race ha-
tired Experience had taught her that
with the way open for the negro to
control in municipal, county and state
affairs her prosperity was doomed. She
would be Stunned by the class of i'm
migrants she desired Even her own
people would desert her, and the fair
est section of the country would sink
to the level of the countries con-
trolled by inferior races.
Having been chosen President with
out the aid of the politicians of his
party. Mr.. Roosevelt is free to admin
lister the government in such way
that all sections of the country will
feel the beneficent effect Of his ad-
ministration, and no class OF people
will have cause to complain. If, how
ever. he determines to be guided by
the views of the extremists of his par
ty he will close his political career with
the i'll will of at least one great sec
ton of the country and perhaps with
out much regret from other sections,
because the business interests of all
sections are pretty closely bound to-
gether.

CHANCES IN RACING.
From the New york Pres.

4 AOAh Tic 4NCH 1Olh
Years ago 1 figured out that there
are twenty-seven chances against a
mans winning a bet on a racehorse to
/ in his favor. Mike Dryer, who has
bet more money than all the rest of
our plungers put together, says the
odds are 81 to 1. They were not in
the good old days of the Dwyer con-
federacy, when Mike and Brother Phil
swept the turf. Everything was
cinched for them, and the cinching was
done without collision. The chances
must have been nearly even, for when
the Butcher Boys entered a horse and
bet on him other owners and trainers
threw up their hands, acknowledging
defeat before the flag fell. 1t became
a habit to follow the Dryers for first
money and pick a long shot for the
place.
But the Dryers dissolved partnership
and their winning career came to an
abrupt end. The ordinary bettor, go
ing to the track to speculate on big
handicap, finds eleven horses in the
race. He understands that Ukah is a
cinch. Down goes his wad, and it Is
all over but the shouting. But he new
er. considers that there are ten horses
against him. all leveled up by the off,
cial Handicapped. There are ten
chances against his, one to start with,
and before the numbers are hoisted at
the finish there are Others: QD. Is
his horse trained to the hour? Q2). Is
the track to his liking? 1S. Is he
properly placed? (14). Does his jockey
want to win? (15. Will the starter
leave him at the post2 (16). Will he
get off well? I'D. Will the jockey
race him to a standstfll out in front ?
t1S) Will the Jockey strangle him and
get shut, out? Q9). Will he escape
cutting down? 600. Will he escape
jostling?
J, Looks like a regular old lead pipe,
doesn't it. so far? But go on: (21),
Did, the trainer give him a little water
or hay? C22).. Was the betting all
right? (2S) +. Will he lose a lead pad

at the finish? (25). Will there be a
disqualification for, foul? -(26). viii
the stewards. decide that he was not
eligible for the race? (2O. Will the
bookmaker. WEIGH? C2sl. Will the
stewards find a .pretext. for declaring
all bets off? Now, here are twenty
eight chances against success. BY
fishing around we could find others,
such as (29). Will the jockey. go to

In the days of Barnum an old "au1l-

Philadelphia Ledger. Like all of her

her age in the least. She had out

RULE OF PROPERTY AMONG IN
DIANS.
From the washington Pos

From the washington Post.
The Thiingit Indians make UP two
thirds of the total population of sitka,
which is not above 1900 souls. They
have always been and are to-day a
self-supporting people. They build
their own houses, being their own
architects and carpenters, working in
sawmils, logging camps, canneries and
in the mines. The Governor of Alaska,
John G. Brady, says the women are
not degraded, but, on the contrary,
are quite the equals of men, The wife
is consulted about all domestic mat
tiers and for the most part has her way.
They accumulate a very considerable
sum each year as wages, from the sale
of furs, baskets, silver jeWelry and
curios. They have lived Under well
defined rules and customs. But these
are not in accord with American laws.
For instance, when man dies his
wife and children do not inherit his
property. The children belong to the
clan of the mother. The fathers heirs
will be his brothers and sisters. A son
Of the sister is often selected . and
brought up by the uncle. When he
dies. this. nephew takes his uncle's
name, his wife, his property-in fact,
literally steps into his moocasins. 1t
is no uncommon sight in Sitka TO see
a prosperous young fellow with a wife
old enough to be his mother.
As the natives die off their houses
are left vacant, and one may often
see the curious spectacle OF some white
mans sign nailed on an abandoned In
dian house, notifying whomsoeyer 1t
concerns that the said white man will
take possession of the house unless the
owner, his heirs, or assigns shall have
claimed it before a certain date.

At LISA, in the province of Posen,
Germany. the other day a schoolboy
of thirteen years, in conversation with
some of the other pupils. made some
remarks about the neutrality of the
German government in the Russo
Japanese war. and expressed the opin-
ion that the Emperor's attitude was
wrong. The child was arrested and
tried on charge of 'lese majestic"
and sentenced to prison for three
months. At Blankenburg, in the Hartz
mountains, week ago, during a har-
vest festival. while the loyal subjects
of his Majesty were shouting, "Hoch
der Kaiser!' one old woman was heard
to shout, "Hoch Gott!" Agents of the
police at once surrounded her and de-
handed to know why she should hur-
rah for God while others were hurrah-
ing for the Emperor. She replied that
even the Emperor himself conceded
that God came first. The police were
Mortified at this gross example Of 'lese
majestic" and hauled her before a
magistrate, where she was convicted
and sentenced to pay fine of ten
marks or serve ten days in Jail. An
appeal was taken to the Emperor in
the matter, but he did not reply to it.
