doubtless impcled BY feelings of grateful
ness TO people who had rewarded him

II ever President OF the United States
played politics in the office, that Presi-
dent is Theodore Roosevelt. He played
politics before his nomination in 1904,
by insisting upon having Fairbanks, even
then an aspirant for the Presidential
nomination four years later, buried poll
tically in the Office OF Nico-Prcsident. He
took Elihu Root, the ablest Republican
in the country, and made him the head
Of his cabinet family. He is about to
kill the Presidential aspirations of Sccre-
taY of War Taft by forcing him on the
bench of the Supreme Court of the United
States And even poor old Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw, who desires to get
out of the cabinet, in order to take hold
of his campaign for the Presidential
nomination, is being retained in the cabi-
net against his will Let any other Re
publican aspirant TO the Presidency give
signs of making any headway and see
how quickly President Roosevelt will
dispose of him.
Those Democrats in Congress who
regard President Roosevelt as a candidate
for reelection two years hence regard
him in the right light There is every
reason to believe that he so regards him
self, despite his premature deliverance on
the night OF his election.

ment to the public ia forests.
The special session, therefore, with all
It's costs and dangers. is imposed upon
the people for The sole purposeol enabling
a lot OF juggling politicians to make an
other attempt to dispose of the office of
United States Senator in accordance with
the corrupt bargain to which il was made
subject previous 20 the last general cleo
tion.
The two business purposes which the
governor has set forth in his call will not
restrict the Legislature in its action. Il
win be free to consider an matters Of
legislation that may be proposed, good,
had or indifferent, and it will be a mercy
indeed if the governor has not opened a
veriiablc pandoms box of troubles to be
visited upon the people of this State by
giving the Legislature a chance TO throw
itself open to all the schemes that ar,

As to the Senatorial halloting IL may
result in the election OF Addiclss; il may
result in the election Of someone else
and it may be productive OF another dead
lock.
We are sure the governor has made
grave mistake.

The tariff "standpattoa" of Congress
are squiming under the revelations Of
how tari-protected goods manufactured
in this country are sold abroad at so much
lower rates than they arc IN this country
as TO provo conclusivoly that the home
consumers are simply being swiudlod.
Various are tho excuses that are Offered
for this amasing state of affairs.
To the demand OF the New England
leather manufactures for FREQ hides and
other FREQ raw material. without which
they could not compete in foreign mar
kets the answer was made that the home
market was large enough for them and
that they should be content with IT,.
But the fact that tho Steel Trust and the
Watch Trust werc selling their products
abroad 90 prices far below those charged
in this country could not Doe met with
such an airy disposal 40 first there were
attempts 90 deny tho situaiion. but inn
mediately there was nn overwhelming
volume of mQuostionod proof. Then
came admissions that protected manu-
factures of this country were sold moro
cheapIy abroad than at home. but that
it was merely a concession made for the
purpose of Introducing the goods. Ii
was sought to hc shown that this foroirn
business was conducted at a loss. but tho
proof was az hand TO dispol this charge
which leit e clear that the horne con-
smoE were victims of an enormous im-
position IN the wny of overcharrinr
and that foreign customers were given
the advantages Of low nrices which
were denied 70 them
Driven TO the wal by this proof the
next plea OF the "siandpatters" was that
tho American consumers were benefited
by this overcharging because Il kept the
industries Of this country going. tina.
assuring them steady work and good
wages. Whether our people will look
upon the situation from this point O..
view remains to be seen But the reason.

that they are as much entitled TO Low
prices for American made goods as foreipr
customers are.

ExtraordInarv Desmond.


BY virtue of section IS Of Article III of
the state Constitution the governor
"may upon extraordinary occasions
convene the General Assembly by proc
lamation."
Now, what extraordinary occasion
may be offered as authority for the call
to the Legislature TO convene at Dover
at noon on Thursday next which was
issued by Governor Lea yesterday ?
The governor cites two subjects of
legislation, but neither is of an extraor-
dinary character, as both may be de-
ieued until the regular session without
the slightest detriment to any public
interest.
The third subject mentioned in the
proclamation is balloting for a United
States Senator.
That an extraordinary occasion ?
Why, such a thing is too ridiculous to be
thought Of
Balloting for United States Senator
has become a pastime for Republican
Legislatures in this State. They have
indulged in It for FIVE sessions and only
once succeeded in reaching an election.
And as there is no more probability OF an
agreement now than there was at the
regular session. the inclusion of Sena-
torial balloting among the "extraor-
dinary occasions" that demand a special
session of the Legislature savors much OF
the hurlesque.
And for this bit Of executive pleas

ferences of growth, very marked
variations in the growth of the

affections which act upon the gen

The medullary layer may even be
interrupted and the hard 4ayer
which it contains may disappear.
Observations made upon a hair
