ENUMERATION OF LOOMS.
Charges of Minister Bowen Did Not
Survive the Light of In
vestigation.

The complete exoneration of Hon.
Francis b. Loomis, assistant secretary
of state, from the charges made against
him by Herbert w Bowen, his success
sOr as the American minister to Vene-
zuela, is no more than had been antiyi-
pated by those who were personally ac-
quainted with Mr.. LOomis. Mr.. Loomis
at the outset met the charges with an
emphatic denial and an earnest de-
mand for a full and impartial investi-
cation. This was made by Hon. WIl-
liam II. Taft, secretary of war, and for
some time acting as head of the depart
ment of state. A more thorough and
unprejudiced inquiry could not have
been conducted, and after a searching
and minute examination of all the cir
cumstances Secretary Taft has reported
Mr.. Bowen's conduct as ineXcusable,
and Mr.. Loomis is wholly exculpated,
says the Troy On. " Times.
In this report President Roosevelt
promptly and emphatically concurs,
and with the impartiality and straight
forwardness that are among his nota-
bic characteristics, he takes action ac-
cordingly. The entire vindication of
Mr.. Loomis is accepted, while Mr.. Bow
en- is dismissed from the public SER
vice. The president points out that
even if Mr. Loomis had been guilty,
Mr.. BOWen's conduct would have been
unpardOnable" in view of the furttve
and underhanded manner in which he
conducted his attack upon his official
superior, and the charges having been
proved absolutely false he is summar-
lily removed from the post he occupies
and from the diplomatic service. This
is a most stinging rebuke, and the
earnestness and vigor with which the
president speaks show how deeply he
resents Mr.. BOWen's action.
The outcome clears the situation and
disposes finally of most unpleasant
incident, while the demands of justice
are exactly met. The friends of AS
sistant Secretary Loomis, whose conf
dence in his honor and integrity has
been unshaken from the first, greatly
rejoice at the happy outcome of the
matter so far as he is concerned. AT
the same time the step taken by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in removing Mr. Bowen
from the post of minister to Venezuela
is fully warranted. Mr.. Bowen had
ceased to be persona grata at the capt
tai to which he wss accredited, and as
friendly relations between a diplo-
matist and the head of the government
of the country to which he is assigned
are essential to the maintenance of Off
cial intercourse and harmonious feel
ing, the only thing to do was to remove
Mr.. Bowen from Caracas. He certain
ly had ceased to be useful there.

Nothing to Worry About

No republican should be alarmed
when the threat is made that if repub-
licans do not reform the tariff, "the
democrats will" The democrats them
selves had the opportunity last year to
turn the country over to the reyisionists.
They had q respectable candidate in
Judge Parker. He was committed to
tariff ripping, but the democrats turned
him down and voted for Roosevelt.

Platform of Democrats.

AS it is in Ohio and in Chicago so il
is in the country at large. Bryan, Tom
johnson and Dunno want to make the
platform. They are confident that what
ever platform they make the candidates
will accept, They are chiefly interested
in the platform because they believe
the party is prepared to swallow the
r3nkest kind OF sociaistic doctrine and
that the candidates win have to do the
same or go overheard. 1t stands the re.
publican party in hand to give the de-
mocracy monopoly of that kind Of plat,

How many holes are there in a
laced boot of the ordinary type? Do
you know how many there are in the
pair you are wearing? That is another
question and it is a little ambiguous,
for the average mans ordinary laced
boots are generally given away by his
wife before he has had time to count
the holes. Which of the feet of a
horse touch the ground in trottingY

the whole class raising arms and shout

He was flung this way and that car

sands. and not for full hour did the
wind scream out its goodby to the
desert and return to its sleep. Then the
surface of the desert was smooth again,
and the man who came riding from the
west could not tell that under his
horses feet lay human body buried

HEAT AND TANNED SKINS.
The Miracle That Nature Performs
when Sunburn Occurs.


There are certain arctic animals,
dark coated in the short summer, that
in winter turn pure white, thus match
ing the snow covered landscape and
escaping notice and harm.
This change of color, this protection,
effected no one knows how, is wonder
ful, as wonderful as a miracle, and
yet a kindred change of color, a kim
ired protection, happens among man
kind every summer, and nobody ever
notices it,
When the pale city people go out IN
the summer sun at the seashOre or the
mountains the light attacks them
ticrccly, first rcddening their skin,
then swelling, blistering and scorching
IT, If they kept in the sun enough,
ana if no miracle occurred, the light
would Kill them finally, burning off
the skin first and afterward attacking
the raw flesh.
But Il miracle does occur. The skin
changes from pale color to a tan and
on this tan the sun has no effect. The
sun may beat on tan colored skin for
days and weeks, but such skin remains
always sound, unblistered, whole.
Thus nature works a miracle The
white skin is suffering, and nature,
aware, somehow, that a tan skin is
sun proof, changes to tan the white.
How does she DO this? Where did she
learn that it was wise to do thlsi No
one knows. Only the fact of the
miracle remains.
To prove this miracle-to prove that
1t is not the hardening Of the skin,
but the change in its color which pro-
tccts it from sunburn-is an easy mat
ter.
Let pale person, unused to the sun,
stain one side of his face yellow, and,
leaving the other side untouched, go
out in the bright summer sun for
couple of hours. The one side of his
face is no tougher, no more hardened
than TIE other, yet the unstained side
win lie infImod, Llistered, while the
tan coio"cd one VIII be quite cool and
ult,.C-,
SunIIrn IS Il miracle, a protection
to mankind rs ineXplicable and as
wonderful as thc miracle Of the arctic
animals change in the winter from
dark coats % snow white ones.-New

Can any one still prate of the good
old times after reading the following
extract from sixteenth century book
entitled The Accomplished Ladys
Rich Closet or, Ingenious Gentleman's
Delightful Companion?'
"A gentlewoman, being at table,
must observe to keep her body strai ght
and not lean by any means with her
elbows, nor by rayenous gesture dis
cover voracious appetite. Talk not
when you have meat in your mouth,
and do not smack like a pig nor ven
ture to eat spoon meat so hot that the
tears stand in your eyes, which Is as
unSeemly as the gentlewoman who
pretended to have as little stomach
as she had a mouth, and therefore
would not swallow her peas by spoon
full but took them one by one and cut
them in two before she would eat them.
1t IS very unseemly to drink so large
a draft that your breath is almost gone
and you are forced to blow strongly to
recover you self"
