Criminal IdiocY.

Probably the intcnScSt fool is the an
archist with the bomb. New evidence
of this is found in the attempt Oh the
lives Of King Alfonso and President
Loubet. What good would come of
their removal even in the eyes Of an
anarchist? Where is there 4 better,
more progressive, humane or intell;-
gent leader of nation than is PreSi-
dent Loubet? Could change in the
ruler of France be anything but a step
in the direction Of retrogrcsSion? II
Spain, where the kingdom seems inev-
itably fixed, SO long as they are to have
kings born to the purple. ruling ''h.-
divine right how much worse it might
be than to have for king the delicate
young gentleman who now sits on the
throne of Aragon and CASTLE.
What good can the bomb thrower ex-
pect to accomplish? To say that gov
ernments can be destroyed by killing
few rulers is tommyrot and should
seem such even to as big fool as the
anarchist with bomb in his hand.

The Philippines.

Two things have served TO popular
ize the Philippine propaganda in this
country, if it can be said to be popu-
larized at all: o.. An unwise sentl-
ment that somehow it is our duty to
act as universal policeman; (2) that
everybody can get rich over there.
! Those afflicted with the first idea are
ncurable, for it grows out of idiocy.
TIE sure-popget-rich idea is durable.
\ few more jOlts like the closing OF
the American bank Of Manila, by order
of General Wright, will do the work.
It's heroic remedy. but few appll-
cations will convince the greedy that
they would do we'll to give the much
exploited Philippines wide berth.
American interest in civillZing the Ihll-
jppines will soon reach the vanishing
point when it is once ascertained that
civilizing the Philippines will not bring
fortunes to the American philanthro-
piStS.
Alack and alas. The Russian govern
ment through Ambassador CaSsini has
protested to our government against
Mr.. Secretary Of War Taft making
visit to the emperor of Japan, accom-
panied by distinguished rctinuc Of
senators, representatives and generals.
Cassini says such a performance will
be regarded by his government as an
'unfriendly act The Russians are
playing in hard luck just now. but they
remember, even if we do not, that dur
ing our civil war Russia was the only
world power friendly to us.
Mr. Speaker Cannon is wrestling
with President Roosevelt in an effort
to have him postpone the extra ses-
sion Of congress to Nov. u. BY
cutting out the Christmas holidays the
extra session could be avoided alto
gether, and it would be extremely Diff
cult to explain how the Christmas Holt
days really benefit the public or sena-
tors and representatives themselves. If
Uncle Joe would suggest this to Colonel
Roosevelt, he might have an under
standing which would avoid the waste
and worry Of the extra session. If he
could accomplish that, he would de-
serve we'll of all concerned.
The papers seem disposed to poke fun
at Hon. Charles B. Lands of Indiana
for saying that he expected to live to
see ''our mutual FRIEND" Senator Jona-
than P. Dolliver Of Iowa, president and
intimate that Lands is quite likely to
double discount Methuselah in numbe"
Of years-but stranger things have hap
pened than Doliver president.
A great surprise has been sprung

Congressman ". T. BroWnlow Of
Tennessee announces that he desires to
create new state, composed of the
rough. mountainous and Republican
portions of Kentucky, Tennessee, North
Carolina and Virginia which adjoin
each other up in the Cumberland noun
tains. Those who have read John
Fox's great story THE Little Shepherd

ton to this region, region much crit
icised and held up to ridiculc, but
which deserves commentator for a
good many things. However, it's poll
tics is not one of these things. Brown
lows congressional district has some
thing like 10000 Republican majority,
and Gibson's, also in east Tennessee, is
almost as unbearable. The mountain
districts Of the other three states are
similar. If such thing as the forma-
ton of this proposed state could come

lightful men in the world. would ro-
tate between the offices Of governor
and senator as long as he lives. for his
popularity in the mountains is i'm
mense.
However, some small difficulties lie
in the way, as only one state, Texas,
has the right under our laws to divide
without the consent Of the general gov
eminent as we'll as the consent Of the
people Of the state. But who knows
but what the four states mentioned
would be glad to slice OF the small
