CLAIMS COUNTRY WANTS A CHANGE

NEW YORK, July 17.-Colonel Hen
~ Watterson, the noted Kentucky ed
lIor, VINO is spending his vacation a
Manhattan beach, consented to tall
politics to a reporter and incidentally
claration that he is opposed to gov.
ernmental ownership.
Asked how William ]. Bryan car

supreme court propositions and still
hold his enthusiastic friends and the
respect Of conservatives, Mr.. Waiter
son said:
Sixteen to one" as you call it, is
as dead as the institution of African
slavery. The supreme court PROPOSE
ton is not doctrinal Mr. Bryan is IL
years older than he was in 1906 Rad
icalism and conservatism are not only
relative but convertible terms.
Radicals Become Conservatives.
"The radical of yesterday becomes
the conservative today and sometimes
vice versa. Mr.. Roosevelt has made
Mr. Bryan look like a conservative.
The country wants a change, and after
Roosevelt it will see no danger in
Bryan"
On the question as to whether, aside
from Roosevelt's luck, any one thing
made him unusual, Mr.. Watterson re-
Piled
"Mr Roosevelt is a very able man,
having for the public a most attrac-
tive personality, standing boldly out
in his salient aspects and he has
played his hand we'll and in amazing
good fortune.
Public opinion. however. is a will
full jade and politics a game of chance
The late John Oakhurstt was quite
right when he said that there is moth
ing certain about cards except that
luck will change Two years hence
may witness the president among the
least popular of men: but he will al
ways have his courage and his virtue

lions in adversitv On the whole he
will have the right in any event to be

OLD ROMAN BATHS.
They Held Theaters, Temples, Feast
ing Halls and Libraries.

The ancient Romans We're eXtrava-
gantly fond of bathing. They got their
notions about the bath as a luxury
from the Greeks, and at one time there
were nearly 800 public bathing estab-
lishments in Rome, some of which were
the most beautiful and elaborate struc-
lures in the world.
The baths of the Emperor DiOcletian
covered more than half a square mile
and contained, besides immense basins;
and thousands of marble recesses, the
aters, temples, halls for feasting, prom
enades planted with trees, libraries,
schools for youth and academies for
the discussions of the learned. The
bathers sat on marble benches below
the surface of the water, around the
edge of the basins, scraping them
selves with dull knives of metal and
ivory and taking occasional plunges in
to the water
Dissipated Romans would spend
whole days in the bath, seeking relief
from Overindul-ence in eating and

THEY WILL HELP EACH OTHER
Congressman and Senators Have
Reached an Agreement
DELEGATION WILL WORK TOGETHER
DESIRE REELECTION AND WILL
ASSIST EACH OTHER IN
CAMPAIGN.
DELEGATION WILL WORK TOGETHER

The fight for the denomination o
Congressman w. l.. Jones, w. E
Humphrey and F. w. Cushman will be
won in the various county conven-
tons. Wherever the members of the
Washington congressional delegation
have influence with county conven-
tions, Endorsement of the three
members of congress will be requested
Incipient revolutions against the
congressional delegations are to be
nipped in the bud Not much opposi-
ton has so far developed to the re-
nomination of the three congressman,
but no member of the congressional
delegation wants to give encourage
ment to whispers of disloyalty. In an
off year the congressional delegation
believes it is a bad thing, politically,
to permit dissensions.
That Senator Ankeny's influence has
been thrown in this direction ev-
dent from the action of the Spokane,
Adams. Columbia and other county
conventions in eastern Washington.
The resolutions adopted at Spokane
indorsing the three congressman may
be set down as those approved by the
senior senator.
In King county there will be no fight
over the control of the state delega-
ton, says the Seattle Times. That will
be instructed for Congressman
Humphrey and it is just as likely that
if any indecisiOn arises the Legislative
delegation will learn that it is bound
up to Piles interests Close friends of
Senator Piles and Congressman
Humphrey are working in harmony
with the understanding that Hum
phrey will have the state delegation
and Piles the legislative nominees
This is in line with the tacit under
standing among all the members of
the congressional delegation.
Senator Ankeny is anxious that no
fight should be stirred up over the
congressional nominations, for he has
the hold-over senators to look after
Moreover his own activity on behalf
of the congressman ties the hands of
Jones and Cushman. both of whom
are understood to be ambitious for
promotion.
None of the congressman are apt to
interfere in the matter just now, but
there is no sympathy in the congress
sional delegation for the effort to dis
trict the state. So long as the con-
gressmen are elected at large an Of
fensive and defensive alliance will be
effective. Moreover election by the
state has been found to promote har-
mony at Washington and unity of ac-
ton there is believed to accomplish
more than single-handed work This
may be an issue, though, before the
next legislature

THE ART OF ACTING.
What Amateurs Who Would Become
Stars Must Learn.

Stars Must Learn.
1t is surprising to discover how very
differently people who have played
parts all their lives deport themselves
before the fOotlights. l was acquaint-
ed with lady in London who had
been the wife of peer Of the realm,
who had been ambassadress at foreign
reigning beauty and who came to me
longing for new experience and i'm
ploring me to give her an opportunity
to appear upon the stage.
In weak moment l consented, and,
as l was producing a play, cast her
admirably suit-that Of society wO-
man. What that woman did and didn't
do on the stage passes all belief. She
became entangled in her train, she
could neither sit down nor stand up,
she shouted, she could not be persuad-
ed to remain at respectful distance,
but insisted upon shrieking into the
actors ears, and she committed all the
gaucheries you would expect from an
unframed country wench.
But because everybody is acting in
private life every one thinks he can
act upon the stage, and there is no pro-
fessiOn that has so many critics. Every
Individual in the audience is a critic
and knows all about the art of acting
But acting is a gift. 1t cannot be
taught
You can teach people how to act act
Acting is as much an inspiration as the
making of great poetry and great pic
lures What is commonly called acting
Is acting acting-Richard Mansfield in
Atlantic.

Luminous Plants.

In his book entitled Luminous
Plants Professor Molisch explains the
light which is often seen radiating from
Stumps of old trees. 1t is due to mi
croscOpic animals, fungOids, which on a
diminutive scale have the exact form
of mushrooms These parasites live
only so long as sap and strength re-
main in the wood. Similarly the 'phos-
phorous" light on the surface of the
sea comes from the animals which live
on the seaweed.

The Acorn.

The male flowers of the oak are gath
cred in distant clusters round a long,
swaying stalk. They approach much
nearer to the conventional idea of a
flower individually. Instead of being
a mere aggregation of anthers or pollen
cells on simple scales those of the oak
are possessed of distinct starlike, hairy
calyxes, each marked off into six or
seven lobes and containing ten slender
stamens. with two celled anthers.

which were open to every one who
chose to pay the price of admission.
1t was not usual for the old Romans
to have baths in their houses, though

plied with baths of terra Gotta.

DEATH OF FIENDS.

Movement to Make Assaults on Chill
dren Punishable With Death.
CHICAGO, July 14.-Moved by the
pitiful story of a little girl who had
been assaulted by a hoodlum, Alder
man Herphy has introduced a resolu-
ton recommending that the state leg
slature enact a law fixing death as
punishment for assaults on women and
children. The resolution was unani-
mously passed.
Prominent club women indOrsed the
stand taken by the aldermen and de-
clared they would support such a law.
Prominent criminal lawyers declare
that such law would be constitu-
tional and like measures may be found
on the statute books of many Of the
southern states.
Every newspaper I have read for
some time has told at the attacks of
some fiend on helpless women or chill
dren," said Alderman Herphy. "a
short time ago l was a member of the
grand jury when one of these cases
came up. A man, or rather a brute.
had attempted to assault a little girl
not more than 10 years old. The little
one was brought into the jury room to
give her testimony, and l shall never
forget her look of terror and her sobs
as she saw the man who had attacked
her sitting there before her.
Il resolved then that 1 would do all
in my power to prevent this awful
crime. During the past year crimes
of this nature have increased, and now
it is not safe for a woman or girl to
walk the streets after dark
Corporation Counsel Lewis declared
that such law would be constitu-
tional if passed, and is in favor of
bringing the matter before the next
legislature.
