NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-District At
independence and announced inten-
ton to run as an independent candi-
date for reelection is bringing him
thousands of letters OF endorsement
daily. Mr.. Jerome declares that he
hopes to be instrumental In revolu-
tionizing politics and public service
throughout the United States by his
Independent fight for reelection. He
says his race is not to be solely Of
local Importance, but is to preach a
new political doctrine to the whole
country lie thinks the country is
ripe to welcome the high principles
of Independence in politics.
Public service independent of
party masters" is the watchword of
Jerome. He says he regards his own
personal fortunes in the race for re-
election as unimportant compared to
the principle he will advocate--a prin-
ciple he hopes his race will help to
promulgate in every hamlet of the
nation.
Mr.. Jerome wants to be reelected
by the people without regard for po-
litical parties, because, he says, he
intends to continue serving the peo-
pie, without regard to political
parties. He believes that now is the
appropriate time to make the test,
as the attention of the country has
already been focused on his Office
partly through the circumstances of
his election and partly because of in
cidents that have occurred since his
term of office began

New York business men are prepar-

being made by Chicago, Cincinnati
and St. Louis to wrest from this city,

city has enjoyed as the center of
shipping to the south and southeast.

one locality and confer the favors of
trade and commerce upon other To-

The Empire mine at Platteville has
declared its second monthly dividend of
$40 on each share Last month there
we're three dividends of $40 each. The
Enterprise and Empire alone pay in
dividends every month from $4,000 to
$4,000 to stockholders. Besides this
there is not less than $4,000 a month
paid for labor. greater part of which is
turned back to Platteville. These two
mines are within the city limits. One
can obtain an idea of the rapid rise in
price of zinc by the following incident.
When zinc was worthless article it was
used in place of crushed rock in putting
tar roofs on buildings at Mineral Point.
A woman who came in possession of
large warehouse found it necessary to
repair the roof, in recent years, had the
Jack cleaned ready for market, making
rough from the sale of the jack to have

NELSON MORRIS, the Chicago pork
packer, says that sugar beets make the
finest pork in the world and that in the
near future Colorado, Nebraska and
Wyoming will produce the best pork 10
the world. Alfalfa, field peas and sugar
beets will take the place Of corn. The
sugar-cured ham must surrender to the
sugar beet hog. Sixty years ago the
hog that was fed on beech nuts was held
to be almost worthless from the fact
that in the frying pan his meat turned
to oil and shrank terribly in the cooking.
But now beech nut fed pork is deli
cacy and is rated high on the market.
We may reach time the corn fed hog
will be below par

Honest Men Not All Dead.

Abhoring and detesting corruption in
public life, Theodore Roosevelt recog-
nizes that indiscriminate charges of graft
are calculated to defeat the ends Of JUS
tice. THE surest way of bunting the
lpublic conscience in dealing with cor
,ruption," he declared in his address at
Atlanta lis to confuse the public mind
as to who is corrupt and who is not" If
the faithful public servant is to be &C
cused with the wrong doer, if the public
is made to believe that all public officials
are rogues, the CRATER profits from the
confusion and the cleansing of the pub
lic service is made doubly difficult.
1t is true, as President Roosevelt we'll
said that 'to accuse an honest man of
being thief is to gladden. the heart of
every thief in the nation. In our legis-
lative bodies, in our national congress, if
you know that man is corrupt you are
not to be excused if you do not hunt
him out of public life, whether he is OF
one party or whether he is of another.
But if you accuse either specifically or
in loose general defamation all men of
being corruptionists, you have just so
much weakened your own strength when
it becomes necessary to assail the gen.
nlne corruptioniSt."
This very condition of affairs is found
in Milwaukee, where the instruments of
justice have been weakened by the
bringing of indictments on trivial
charges or without basis and the injec-
ton of factional bias in the graft cru
sade. The unfounded charges can not
stand, but their very weakness has weak
ened the charges that should stand. 1t
is not, as Mr.. Roosevelt said, to show
leniency to corruption to protest against
indiscriminate or unfounded charges
Instead, it is to strengthen the hands OF
Justice, to demand that it processes be
not misused or that mere suspicion be
made the basis for prosecution.-Mil

WHY QUESTION eoFFS RIGHT

Laborious efforts have already begun
to discourage the re-entrance of Judge
Nathan Golf into politics. These eff.
forts are not from sense of the
superiority of one wnom such action
on the part of the states most eminent
iurist and distinguished citizen may eff

todyism to one wno mas it within mis-
power to hand out official plums 10 the
favored few.
One paper says to Judge Golf came
the choosing of the way and he chose to
give up politics for the hign position ne
now holds SO ably and well. In that
that paper Is mistaken as to his being
forced to quit politics, because it is a
well known fact tnat Judge Golf was
firmly entrenched in the rank and file
of mis- party then and was its one great
leader. His going on the bench did not
lessen his love for mis- party and dur
ing all the successive years the welfare
- Vhe party mas been uppermost in his
neart. Today there is no man that
loves the Republican party more taan
he; none that desire its moorings to b.
safe, sound and beyond attack.
II may be that he mas no intention
to re-enter tine political arena. but il il
not illogical to advance the idea that ne

A RADIooRApHlc SURPRISE.
Unsuspected Tumors Revealed in Woman's Foot While Search
 ing for e Needle.

Photographs are often taken with an X-ray tube in order to as. certain the exact position of a hui- let. needle or some similar object whjc ny have found is r-sy into the tissues. Metal casts as dense a shadow as bone, while the ob- scuration due to flesh and skin is comparatively slight.
 X Cleveland expert in that class of work was visited by the patient of another physician recently up on the latter's recommendation with a request that he make n "radiograph" of her foot. She be- lieved that q needle had worked its way into that member. At any rate, something had caused moro or less pain for years, although there was no outward sign of an injury on the sole. The picture was taken and. sure enough, there was a narrow, black line visible in it, which was not due to bone. It lay right between two bones. The needle was subsequently, removed by a surgeon. However, the radio graph also revealed two other things which nobody had suspect ed. They were small, hard tumors adhering to the bones, and proba- bly, caused by the needle. They were taken out also. The young woman can now walk with more comfort than for several years past.
