All this fuss over the accident in
which the president was involved last
week is redundant and unnecessary.
Anxiety should always be excited for
whatever it may be that collides with
Roosevelt.
Governor Hogg's suit against the
railroads for s1,o0o,ooo for personal in
juries ought to boost the market on

Mr.. G. L. Van Eaton's nomination
for representative by reclamation
from the Lyon Osceola district, argues
we'll for the Van Eaton plan of telling
the voters precisely where he stands
on open issues. No other name was
mentioned in the convention. Mr.. Van
Eaton, it will be remembered, made
very decided statement of his affirma-
tive position on the questions of an
anti-pass bill, state primary law, tar
iff revision, reciprocity and rate reg
ulation.
The Burlington Gazette, allegedly
democratic, urges Governor Cummins
to come over to the democrats. The
Gazette has been full Of acceptance
and commentator of the state admin
istration, sneakingly worded to do the
most harm. The Hawkeye, republican,
is in the same building with the Ga
zette and both papers love Mr. Blythe
to distraction. To watch the Hawk
eve toss the -Cummins ball to the
Gazette and note the dexterity with
which it is returned, irresistably re-
minds Of the trained seals in the cir
Gus performance. One could easily
imagine Mr.. Blythe with handful of
fish in the background.

Drag the roads.

With a purpose firm and true,
Fall in line! It's up to you:
Drag the roads!"

"Come closer" said President
Roosevelt to the veterans at the Sol
diers' Home. The president is getting
closer to the southern people and the
southern veterans every day, and who
knows but what he has it in his mind
and heart to do something substantial
for the disabled soldiers of the confed-
eracy ?-Richrnond Times-Dispatch.
There would really seem to be a
basis of truth In the claim of the Ital-
ian, DIR. Guerrazzi, to have discovered
bullet proof material which, while
being very light, is effective. The
Rome correspondent of "The Newcas-
tie Chronicle" asserts that three sets
OF experiments lldSC OCC1l Sel1 IlCu Oul
with it during the present year, all
under military supervision and condi-
tions. The last Of these was especial
ly trying. Every calibre of service
revolver ball was used, at every dis
lance from three PAGES to seven or
eight yards, and under all sorts of diff
ferent circumstances. The material
was left to hang slack, was fitted on
a fragile framework, on a soft brick,
and finally against the trunk of pine
tree. In no case it / ssaid, did the OBJ
iect behind the 'cuirass" show the
slightest trace of conclusion or other
injury.

He occupied the seat; she was swing

shame him into politeness; he wouldn't
shame worth cigaret. A lurch of the

scramble she landed on his feet with
both heels.
You're on my feet" he growled.
IF you had been on your feet it never
would have happened" said she.
