PRESIDENTIAL MIND READING

Commenting on the silly talk afoat about
President Roosevelt's alleged ambition to sue
coed himself in 1909 1.-THE Boston Transcript
says:
If any friends of President Roosevelt are
really, in the summer of 1904. endeavoring to
engineer boom for him in 1908. they are both
tasteless and tactless. 1t is bad taste to talk
of a third term for a President not yet elected
to second, and II is correspondingly tactess to
bring such an issue into the present campaign.
True enough But if it would be tasteless
and tactless for friend TO suggest for the
President a third term. what would it be for
an enemy to trump up the story of such a
scheme to fnjure him in this campaign? The
most we have seen attributing to the President
any such design has been in the columns of
opposition papers. The tale is not the product
OF tactlessness, but of malice. 1t is not the
third term that the critics are worried about
but the second. They are putting up a third
term scarecrow by which they hope to brighten
a few timid persons already nerve racked by
the bogies of 'lawlessness" and ''usurpation'
into voting the Democratic ticket lest the Re
publican candidate should copy Diaz and make
himself dictator for life. In such campaign
it does not do to be hampered by facts. If the
President does not show any sign of perma-
nently attaching himself to office, just send
some mind reader like Professor O. Henry
Loomis Nelson to feel the Presidents bumps
and tell of the despotic purposes hidden away
in the recesses of his brain. Mr.. Nelson has
already discovered that
We have as candidate for President a man
who is entirely out Of sympathy with funda-
mental conception of the character of the Re
public a man not only wholly without allegiance
to law, but practical disbeliever in the doc
trine of the supremacy of the law. a doctrine
that was established in England after a struggle
between crown and commons of more than five
hundred years.
This is indeed terrible! In the face Of such
an appalling possibility to the nation as the
Presidency Of monster wholly without allie
glance to law we are moved 20 inquire of Mr.
Nelson, in the language of the late Isaac II.
Bromley, rs that fact generally known"

Superintendent Maxwell of the Department of
Education has issued earnest and judicious
circular. in which he urges the principals and
teachers of the public schools to admonish "the
pupils to remain cool and collected in the pres
"ence of danger: not to risk their lives unneces-
"sarily; to learn how to swim. and always to be
ready to lend helping hand to those weaker
than themselves" This Is sound advice. But
for the wild panic the General Slocum the
loss Of life would have been much smaller than
it proved to be, and If many of the women and
boys and girls had been taught to swim the
deaths would have been fewer in number.
Swimmers can save others as we'll as themselves

arrested as elopers. They were duly
taken into custody and il required

ST Louis. March 19.-Sccretary OF
the Treasury Shaw figured indirectly
I'm Il decision rendered by the United
States court of appeals in the case
of Schriver Bros. OF Britt, Ia, against
the Western Union Telegraph cons
pany. The case dealt with Il check
for $S.9T2 which L. F. Barnes. n cat
tie buyer of DeniSon, Ia, paid to
Schriver Bros. for eight car loads or
cattle. 1t was developed in the teStl-
mOny that Barnes sent telegram
from DenisOn to SchTiver Bros, at
Britt, to the effect that he had that
amount of money on deposit at the
Bank of Denison, and signed the
banks name.
Secretary Shaw is vice president OF
the Bank of Denison. Subsequently it
was learned, so the testimony devei-
oped, that Barnes had no account at
the bank. Schriver Bros. instituted
suit against the telegraph company and
secured verdict. The case was ap-
pealed and the appellate court rem
dercd n decision ordering a new trial
on the ground that the telegraph COM
pany had nothing to do with the deal
in question.
