Liberty of a President

Mr.. Roosevelt has upset an ancient
and it is, that the President should nev-
er leave his own land so long as he
holds office. There is no law on this
subject, and it would be a stupid one
if there were, but SO general and bind
ing has been the practice that men of
the breadth Of view of Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Mckinley, to mention no
other incumbents of the office, have
RETAINED from crossing to the Canadian
side to view Niagara when they have
visited the cataract, and from going a
few rods beyond the middle of the
bridge at Ell Paso, when International
functions have been toward, lest they
should venture into Mexican territory.
Mr.. Roosevelt is now on the high seas,
we'll beyond the three-mile limit, and
he has not forfeited the Presidency in
so doing. On the contrary, it is hoped
that he has made it possible for his
successors to return the courtesies of
other nations and to be present at con
ventions outside the national bounda-
ries. This freedom is permitted to all
rulers of all other lands and not a little
of prestige and friendship result from
it. Should relations between ourselves
and Cuba ever become strained, for
example, there is no question that a
brief visit of our President to Havana
would do more to restore good feeling
and elicit more fraternal enthusiasm
than acres of parchment, no matter by
what names they might be signed

St. Nicholas of Myra.

All that is known with any certainty
Of Nicholas Is the bare fact hat he
lived in Asia Minor somewhere about
the beginning of the fourth century.
He was bishop of Myra, a Lycian sea
coast town, venerable, of course, for
his piety and b~enevolence, and he was
revered in the east at least as early as
the sixth century. In the Greek church
he takes rank Immediately after the
five great fathers, and under the name
of st. Nicholas Of Myra he is esteemed
as patron saint Of by far the largest
body of Orthodox Greeks, the Russian
empire. AS early as the year $50 JUS
tinian dedicated a church In CONSTANT
nople to the renowned bishop. In the
west, where for q reason he Is more
commonly known as st. Nicholas of
Bari, he was acclimatized for good in
the eleventh century. His vogue in the
north began with the twelfth, but ex-
tended SO rapidly that by the reforma-
ton he probably possessed in England
alone more churches and chapels dedi-
Gated in his honor than any other holy

Betting ON Elections

If American elections are to be de-
graded into sporting events the fact
should at least be kept from general
knowledge by those so regarding them.
Yet the bets on this candidate and that
are laid so freely and openly that we
know all about the odds, and the
amounts placed in the hands of this
saloonkeeper and the other one, pend
ing the result. Wagers on elections are
distinctly against the law, and the per-
son who makes or accepts one endangers
his vote. Indeed, a considerable per-
centage of our electorate might be
barred from the polls by watchers, if
they chose to enforce this law. 1t is
especially unfortunate that men in
public positions should allow them
selves to be bulletined as having backed
the men of their choice with money, for
there is in some minds a suspicion in
such a case that they would be willing
to spend other money, secretly, for the
furtherance of their political schemes.
Betting on horses is conducted in pool
rooms, under the ban, yet betting on
mayors is made boastfully and for pub
LEGATION, albeit the effect OF these ven
lures is demoralizing and shows open
disregard of the law. Such bets should
be arranged quietly between the parties
in interest, if they must be made, but
nobody will claim that they need be-

Letter to A. w. Johnson,
Holly Beach, N. J.

Dear Sir: You'd strike it rich if you
could find a way to shave your custo-
mers in less time, for less cost, and
make the shave last twice or three
times as long.
You wouldn't shave the same person
SO many times, or get so much of his
money; but the whole town would be
talking about you, and everybody
would come to you for a shave.
Devoe lead-and-zinc is exactly that
In paints. 1t takes fewer gallons, and
it wears longer. Costs less for the job,
and you don't have to do it again for
years and years-six years at least.
"Fewer gallons; wears longer"
Takes fewer gallons to paint a house
with Devoe lead-and-zinc than with
mixed paints; and it wears longer than
mixed paints or lead-and-oil.

Children and Sweetmeats.

"Of course | cannot give my children
perfect constitutions" remarked a
wise mother, but what depends on
me shall be done, and at least they
will never suffer the agonies of dys-
pepsia | have undergone all my life be-
cause when l WAS little my mother
used to allow me to eat all kinds of
things between meals. Johnny and
Ethel may have all they want at the
table, but not II thing between times.
The result is that their little stomaclrs
get a rest. and they are always health
fly hungry for their meals"
But what do you do about their
accepting candy from their school
friends?" observed the listener.
II manage it In this wise: If they
refuse the offers OF cheap candy they
get away from home, ] serve them d
good quality of sweetmeats twice a
week with their dessert. Really good
chocolates and nut candies are healthy,
and the system demands a certain per
centage of sugar. The trouble lies in
the poor quality of adulterated stuff
that they get from their little school
friends or from country stores for d
penny, and also In the fact that such
delicncles are, in nine cases out of ten,
eaten directly before meals"
Who shall say this mothers method
is not Il good one?
THE woman who goes to work and
does things in this world will have all
the admiration she wants." remarked
the wise woman-"yea, and all the
offers Of marriage too. It's the help
less feminine who stands with idle
hands waiting for some man to sup
port her who has the bad luck to be
left to bloom alone, II you call that
bad luck. But the right sort of men
fight shy of her, and 1 don't blame

.sCautfous" Rate Regulation

From the Springfield, Republican Qnd.)
Syndicated wealth or vested interest
is unquestionably making a great
mistake in antagonizing the President
on 80 comparatively small a matter as
a mere cautious public regulation of
railroad rates-an assertion of public
authority which was supposed TO have
been decreed by the people beyond all
recall years ago. 1t is just the mistake
made by the slave-holding autocracy
when, in the flush and arrogance of
apparently resistless power over the
National Government, it would listen
to no concessions and undertook to
remove all remaining restraints as in
the repeal of the Missouri compromise.
But syndicated privilege seems to be
determined in its present course, and
if Mr.. Roosevelt also persists there
must follow such u breaking up of old
party lines as the country witnessed
during the decade preceding the Civil
War. What will probably come of
this controversy for the time being is
mutual acquiescence by the President
and his opponents in a measure OF rate
control which will appear well on
paper End mean nothing in practice;
but ii is now evident that as certainly
as the administration insists upon a
genuine measure of public rate regula-
ton so certainly will there ensue a
general reconstruction of parties in this
country through the breaking up of the
alliance between the Republicans and
vested privilege. The development of
this railroad issue. therefore, is to be
followed with the keenest interest.

STRIKE FOR SAKE OF MULES.

The strike Is one OF the great mod
ern methods OF conserving the rights
Of man.
II is discovered also to be a meth
cd Of defending the rights OF mules.
At an Indiana mine 1875 miners have
gone on a strike because the mules
were not given enough to eat.
Here, say all men, is a Just strike.
The helpless, hard.worked dumb
brutes, requiring only their living in
return for their labor, should have
enough to eat, even though 125 men
must be idle and a great industry par.
alyzed to secure them Justice.
Some rights are too sacred for men
TO stop in maintaining them to count
the cost in money.
The humane spirit and the sober
sense of the whole people will indorse
a strike in behalf OF hard-worked
mules that are not given enough to
eat.
No self 81 yled sociologist or theoriz-
ing economist will question the justice
Of it-or the true economy of It, for
mules are properly. and If not sufi-
GENTLY fed they give less service and
d%eteriorate in value.
Yes, all will agree that the man who
refuses 20 enter into a strike because
his companion, the mule is not get.
ting enough to eat, is not worthy the
name of manhood.
But let II be the workers own wife
and children who are not getting
enough to eat-let It be the worker
himself who is underpaid and under
fed-and then the strike is regarded
with widely divided opinions.
Then self-styled sociologists and
theorizing economists spring up to de-
clare the strike a conspiracy against
an employers right to conduct his
business as he sees At.
Such is the vast difference in Ger.
tain schools of philosophy, between
the rights OF underfed workers. their
wives n children and the rights OF
underfed mules!
The mule Is a worthy animal. But
tho theory that his claim to enough
10 eat is superior to hat Of the work
ing man is not justified on the ground
OF either economic reasoning or hu.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger has
arrived at the conclusion that the
mere fact that a boy nearing the age
OF manhood desires to go away from
a pleasant home and use his own re-
sources Ia a good Indication that he
will get along. If he objects to being
pampered there is nothing to be gain
ed by pampering him. To withhold
from him the chance he Graves might
be a serious error. There Is no dis
grace in hard work, and there is no
lasting hurt from hard knocks. The
men who make the best records have
not planned their careers while rest
ing on" llowery beds OF ease" nor
gone forth with the backing of a bank
account piled up by somebody else.
There is scant reason to fret about
the boy who is eager TO become a
wage-earner and selects arduous to..
as his portion in the beginning.
