GCharlss ]. Bonaparte Of Baltimore, in a
convention speech seconding the nomi-
nation of a candidate. in the second
Maryland district.l
Some OF our Democratic friends are
much troubled just now because they
think President Roosevelt unsafe" He
has had to deal probably with more grave
and delicate problems demanding for
their solution tact, patience, self-Control
and sound judgment on his part than any
President since the close of reconstruc-
ton, and. while in many cases he has
done what many people thought he
shouldn't do, in nearly every instance he
has surprised and disappointed his num-
erous critics by complete success. To
note but a few Illustrations: The pacifi-
cation of the Philippines success of self
government in Cuba, the settlement of the
coal strike and the contamination of the
Panama treaty, with its assurance of an
isthmian canal; man justified by the
event in matters such as these is / think,
safe enough for another trial; and. at
all events, those so often mistaken in
their prophecies Of failure might show n
little less assurance in calling him "un-
safe" In truth, l doubt if we have ever
had a President and l at least have never
seen man, more open to suggestion, ad-
vice or remonstrance than Theodore
Roosevelt. He cannot be cajoled he
cannot be bullied; he cannot be bought
either with money or with anything else
If Democratic editors mean that these
qualities render a President unsafe"
then they are quite right to prefer another
candidate, and l venture to add that
David B. Hill is remarkably we'll fitted
to suggest a candidate to suit them.
1t may be owned that, whether Mr.
Roosevelt be safe or not, certain classes
of people would undoubtedly feel in
greater safety were he out of the White
House. "Grafters," who look to pull
for immunity; men, whether rich or poor
few or many, in the North of in the Suth
who trespass on the constitutional rights
of their fellows: rebels and consprators
in the Philippines; Moorish brigands who
kidnap our citizens; South American adj
venturers who would hold up" our ca
nal; in short, criminals and lawbreakers
of high and low degree in our midst, en-
emies of our country, both at home and
abroad, all these gentry agree in finding
him too strenuous" for their comfort
and would sleep better with safer
President at Washington. II the news
papers which declare him "unsafe" are
the mouthpieces of one or more of these
classes I find no cause for wonder in
their utterances; otherwise these seem
surprising, except as showing that they
have nothing more sensible to say.

A Romance Of the War.

The most romantic story of the Russo
japanese war to date is that told in the
New York Sun concerning Gen. Kuroki.
who led the Japanese advance into Man
churia. The story is ostensibly based on
a letter written by a nephew of Gen.
Kuroki, one Oshima, who is now a stu
dent at the University of Berlin. Ac-
cording to this young mans story, Gen.
Kuroki is the son of a Polish nobleman
named Kuroski, who fled from Poland
after the Polish revolution of 1881 and
was brought up in Japan, where he mar
ried native woman.
Gen. Kuroki was born in 1915 in the
province of Satsuma and has been
soldier from boyhood. In 1871 he was
captain of the imperial guards, he fought
in the Satsuma rebellion of 1877, dis
tinguished himself in the Chinese war by
the capture of Wei Hal Wei, and was
made general along with Oku and Nodzu,
at the same time that Gen. Yamagata
was made field marshal.
Gen. Kuroki's father on his deathbed
is said to have made the remark that
his son might some day be able 10
take revenge on Russia for crushing Po-
land. Seventy years after the final sub
jugation the patriots prophecy is real
lied. The son is pursuing a victorious
career in Manchuria, and the Russian
army, commanded by the most capable
of the cars officers, is flying before him.

Japs' PHYSICAL Strength.

The Japanese are allowed to be among
the very strongest people on earth, says
the Medical Record, They are strong
mentally and physically, and yet practic-
ally they eat no meat at all. The diet
which enables them to develop such hardy
frames and such well balanced and keen
brains, consists almost wholly of rice,
steamed or boiled while the better to do
add to this Spartan fare, fish, eggs, Vege-
tables and fruit. For beverages they
use weak tea, without sugar or milk,
and pure water, alcoholic stimulants being
but rarely INDUCED in. Water is imbided
in what We should consider prodigious
quantities-by an Englishman, indeed the
drinking of so much water would be re-
garded as madness. The average Japan
csc individual swallows about gallon
daily in divided doses. The Japanese
recognize the beneficial effect of flushing
the system through the medium of the
kidneys, and they also clean the exterior
of their bodies to an extent undreamed of
in Europe or America. Another-and per-
haps this is the usage on which the Jap
anese lay the greatest stress-is that
deep, habitual, forcible inhalation of fresh
air as an essential for the acquisition of
strength, and this method is sedulously
practiced until it becomes a part of their
nature.

The Story Back of the Bronze Button.

Sometimes in passing along the street
l meet a man who on the left lapel of his
coat wears a little bronze button The
coat is often old and rusty, the face
scanned and furrowed by the toll and
suffering of years. Perhaps above it hangs
an empty sleeve or below 1t stumps
wooden peg. But when / meet a man
who wears that button, / doff my hat
and stand uncovered in his presence
yea, to me the very dust his weary feet
have passed is holy ground, for l know
that man in the dark hour of our nations
peril, barred his breast to the hell of bat
tie to keep the flag of our country in the
Union sky. Maybe at Donelson he reach
ed the inner trench; at Shiloh held the
broken line; at Chattanooga climbed the
flame swept hill, or stormed the Lookout
Heights. He was not born nor bred TO
soldiers life. His country's summons
called him from the bench, the mine, the
store, the office, the college, the sanctu-
airy. He did not fight for the greed of
gold, to find adventure or to win renown.
He loved the peace of quiet ways; and yet
he broke the clasp of clinging arms,
turned from the glance of bewitching
eyes, left goodbye kisses on tiny lips, TO
look death in the face on desperate fields.
And when the war was over, he quietly
took up the broken threads of love and
life as best he could, a better citizen for
having been so good a soldier-[Joh NJ.

EIGHT YEARS OF FOLLY.
tSt. Adams Messenger

President Roosevelt struck the keynote
of the campaign when he said in his
speech at the time of his formal notifi-
cation of his nomination for the presiden-
cy:
We are more fortunate than our OPP
ponents, who now appeal for confidence
on the ground. which some express and
some seek to have confldentially under
stood, that, II triumphant, they may be
trusted to prove false to every principle
which in the last eight years they have
laid down as vital, and to leave undisturb-
ed those very acts of the administration
because of which they ask that the ad-
ministraton itself be driven from power"
What has the Democratic party stood
for in those eight years.. Read the plat
forms of 1896 and 1900 to be reminded that
ii has advocated
Forty cent dollars;
War on national banks;
Throwing down the tariff wall that
protects American Industries;
War on the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States;
Surrender of the Philippine Islands and
abandonment of Filipinos to a fate worse
than that from which we rescued them
in 1885,
Cessation of measures for the best mill
tary defence of the nation and its vast
and far reaching interests and a return
to the hap-hazard pretence of an army
and navy that caused the needless sacri-
flee of precious lives and treasure in
every war in which the nation has ever
engaged.
All of which the American people at the
polls have refused to sanction
That is but a brief record of the curious
record of vagares and incompetency upon
which the Democratic party now goes
before the nation. What would have be-
come of the country if the Democracy
had been trusted with the government and
carried these folies into execution?

THE POLITICAL SWIRL
THE CORPORATION TAX LAW.
What George W. Hooker and Charles J.
Bell Did to Secure Its Enactment In
1899
Huntington Free Press.l

burlington Free Pressl
While there is a natural disposition on
the part of the Republicans OF Vermont
to emphasize the importance OF national
issues in a presidential year, we should
not lose sight of the fact that the Re-
publicans have nominated for the COVER
norship man who has proved himself to
be an efficient public servant in the per-
son of the Hon. Charles J. Bell. 1t will
be recalled by some that the Hon. J. l..
Barstow, while governor OF Vermont. call
ed attention to the fact that other states
were paying their expenses by tax on
corporations. and as he was in a position
to have intimate knowledge concerning
the services of different members of the
Legislature, we asked Ex-Governor Bar
stow for a statement of his estimate of
Senator Bells work in that body. EN-
Governor Barstows reply is as follows:
To the Editor of the Free Press:
In your paper of today, you have a very
able and interesting editorial on Yer
mont's State Expenses" showing the ben
eficial effect of the corporation tax law of
1882, in diminishing and finally exiting
uishing state taxation in Vermont.
In connection Herewith you have asked
me to state my recollection of the part
taken in that important act of legislation
by the Hon. Charles j. Bell, the present
Republican nominee for governor and l
very cheerfully comply by saying that at
the session of 1882, Col George W. Hook
er of Brattleboro was chairman of the
committee on ways and means, from
whence all legislation for revenue is sup
posed to emanate. He formulated the
substance of the present law, calling to
his aid the commissioner of taxes from
Massachusetts. The measure was fought
at every step before the committee, by cor
poration attorneys and about 40 amend
ments were tackled on to the original bill,
but Hooker won by a large majority
Mr. Bell was chairman of the committee
on agriculture and in that capacity and
in every way was Hooker's most able and
efficient assistant and co-worker. His
advice and counsel was sought at every
stage and he was given credit as being
one of the chief promoters of the corpo-
alton tax law.
At the close of the session, Mr.. Bell
had a well established reputation as a
wise, sagacious legislator and as an hon
est, honorable, independent man.
]. L. BARSTOW.
Shelburne August 10, 1904.
Ex- Governor Barstow is known through
out our commonwealth as a man who is
not afraid to say what he thinks, and
his tribute to Mr. Bells ability and eff
cheney as a public servant can not fail to
have handsome reception by the voters
of Vermont.

Facts VS.. Editorial Fiction.
Montpelier Journal

Senator Proctor carries word from YER
mont to the Republican campaign man.
ayers that the Democrats up that way
are more united than they have been
since 1892, and that effort will be re-
quired to roll up an exhlarating Repub-
lican majority in September Mr.. Proc
tor himself can do something to that, end
probably by ending the strike in his mar
BILE works near Rutland. But he has no
intention of yielding to the demands of
the strikers, and says he will let the
works go to decay before he will concede
anything. That is calculated to help the
Democrats more than the speeches of
Mr.. Cannon and others booked to par
ticipate in the Vermont canvass can
hurt. 1t must tax the nerve of the most
hardened stump speaker to talk of pros
perity which is the chief Republican is
sue, in the presence of wage reductions
and strikes.-[Springiield Republican.
In the first place the strike in the
marble works does not appear to have
affected to any great extent the extern
sive works in which the Proctors are
interested. In the second place the re-
mark to which the Republican refers was
reported as coming from Fletcher Proc
tor, president of the Vermont Marble
company, and not from the Senator
Moreover, Vermont has seen no wage re-
auctions during the past few years. but
has seen continual advance in wages
all along the line. The tendency in Yer
mont has recently been wholly towards
higher pay in industrial employments
and shorter hours for the laborng man
generally. Stump speakers in Vermont
can talk prosperity and point it out all
around them But it would be useless to
admonish this Springfield independent
to stick to the facts and tell the truth
respecting affairs or conditions in Yer
mont-as useless as to admonish
Mephistopheles to be virtuous.

The Grand Army's New Commander in
Chief.

Gen Wilmon W. Blackmar who has
been chosen COMMUNICATIVE chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, is one of
the few surviving distinguished soldiers
of the war for the Union. He is a Penn
sylvanian by birth, but of Massachusetts
by nurture. He entered the service when
a boy, as a private in a Pennsylvania
cavalry regiment He served under Gus
ter, and before the close of the war he
was adjutant-g general of a brigade and
a division provost marshal. He was at
Antietam, Stone River, Chickamauga.
Chattanooga, in the Shenandoah valley
campaign at Five Forks, and other great
engagements at the close of the war;
In short. he is a genuine soldier, and so
worthy of his present honor.

Play Fair With Home Dealers.
tIIardwick Gazette.l

The man who lives in Hardwick earns
his money in Hardwick but spends it in
Chicago, New York, Boston or some other
city, isn't playing a square game, and if
he only knew it, he isn't playing a win
ming game. The city merchant isn't doing
business for his health, and there is
bigger profit made on all mail orders
than your home merchant makes, on his
goods. If you are a poor man, and most
of us are decidedly so, the home merchant
helps educate your children, protect your
property and care for you in adversely.
Play fair. Spend your money where you
earn it. This advice applies to all coun-
try towns.
