White is a belated Federalist, who
has fallen behind his day. Also,
like others Of his pundit caste, he is
more apt to seize on dilemma by
the tail than by the horns. We
have laws; and the laws have teeth.
The trouble has been that those
laws, and their teeth, have suffered
from money-tetanus-a a sort of lock-
jaw of gold. What we needis not
more laws; but more prosecutors
who will invoke, more judges who
will declare, more executives who
will enforce what laws we have.

incident, to Presid dent Roosevelt.
Following his nomination BY q
handful Of days, Mr.. Roosevelt an: q
nounced that he would not accept
another term. At divers times
since then. by pen and By word Of
mouth, he has re-asserted such de-

AS recently as last month, in 9
letter to Mr.. Conant, Of Colorado,
Mr.. Rooesvelt-if one may believe
the press declared by his secretary
that "You will have ito vote for
some other Republican next time. !"
This resolution Of Mr.. Roosevelt
is of more than pas: ing moment.
The White House is the heart Of
national concern: II ever the Re-
public be slain. it iss there \ that 9
sinister Fate will plant the knife.
Wherefore the people should jeal-
3otsly scan whatever is to affect that
structure in its occupation, or sub.
tract from their dominant right to
name it's Presid dential tenant. 2
It may be regarded as automatic
that, in picking it's Presid dents, the
public alone is judge. Noone may
stand at the popular elbow. and di-
rect the popular choice. No man
may say he won't be President.
Those are not: questions for the in
ldividual. The White House is not

NURSES in THE NAVY.

Surgeon General Rixey Recommends
Employment of Women.
The surgeon general of the navy has
made strong plea for the employ
ment Of women nurses in the naval
medical service. "That women nurses
are by natural endowment and apti-
tude," says he, superior to male
nurses for much of the duty required
in the care of sick and injured men is
generally admitted. Every war of
modern times has demonstrated this
fact. The medical department of the
army is now provided with crops of
trained women nurses, and their adap-
liability to service conditions in the
naval hospitals, insures for the sick
Of the navy as careful nursing as is
now given to the sick of the army.
valuable assistance, moreover, in
teaching and training the men of the
hospital corps their special duties of
attendance on the sick could be rem
dered by them, and, in the event of
war, besides being utilized on hospital
ships, they could, in large part, take
the place of the men in the naval hos
pitfalls, thereby releasing the latter
for service with the force afoat where
they would be needed In the opinion
of the bureau, provision should be
made for one superintendent of nurses
to supervise the discipline of the
corps, and MS many chief nurses,
nurses and reserve nurses as may be
needed, in the discretion of the Secre-
tary of the Navy. In time of peace
the number of such trained women
nurses would be very small, but the
organization should be such as to ad.

bureau that Congress be asked to au-

An Edison Experiment.

When Thomas A. Edison was a
boy, selling papers on a train be-
tween Huron and Cleveland, he be-
came so interested in electricity that
he has never been able to let it alone
since. Unfortunately, his spare time
off duty was not enough for his ex-
periments. says the Worlds Work.
He urged his father to allow him to
sit up nights and play with the tele-
graph; but Mr.. Edison. senior, be-
lieved in early rising and early going
to bed, and Thomas was sent to his
room promptly at nine, while his
father sat up two hours longer to
read the papers the boy had brought
home.
Those two hours tempted the boy
and at last he hit on plan for Sc
curing them. His chum lived about
two hundred yards away, beyond an
intervening orchard. The two boys
rugged up telegraph circuit between
their rooms. Young Edison made bat
teries of preserve jars. The day after
1t was in order he gave the extra
papers to his chum and when night
came there were none for his father
to read.
Mr.. Edison seemed much disturbed
by the loss of his daily reading mat
ter, and by nine o'clock when it was
time for Thomas to go to bed, he was
very restless. Then the boy made a
suggestion.
"All the papers are down at Dicks
he said. But Dick and l have a
telegraph line between our rooms. l
think perhaps can call him up and
get the news"
Accordingly they adjourned to the
boys room, and soon had Dick on
the wire. Then while beyond the or
chard Dick read from the paper and
sent messages by telegraph, young
Edison took down bulletins and hand
ed them to his father. Bedtime was
forgotten, and it was after eleven
clock before the father was ready
to quit.
After that he seemed to have no
more worry over the effect of late
hours on his son, and young Edison
had his time to himself for electrician
experiments.

INDIAN ENTRY A RINGER.
White Man Who Wanted to Win Their
Money Duped by Real Race

The Winnebago Indians at the
agency in Thurston county, Nebraska.
turned a neat trick on a party OF
sioux City sporting men the. her day.
Like all other Indians, the Winnebago
are inveterate gamblers. If there is
one thing they like better than poker
1t Is horse racing, and Bald Eagle,
their famous pony, has won many a
race in the last few years.
Not long ago it was announced that
the Indians would shortly receive
100000 from the Government as a
part of the money due them for land
and the whites determined to get
some of it. Last week horseman
from Sioux City came down and
sought to arrange a race. He brought
with him Pat Organ, a runner that
has been capturing every race at the
county fairs in northwest and Iowa
this fall. Organ was known to be
faster than anything on the reserva-
ton, and the whites expressed a de-
sire to race him against any horse the
Indian had.
The def was at once taken up. The
Indians named Bald Eagle, and
stake OF $1,000 a side was put up.
with any number of side bets. It was
decided to run the race at Fender.
When time was called there were
1000 Indians in or about the enclos-
ure and about 1000 whites. The horses
were brought out and given warming
up. Organ was shining in his coat of
black and looked very inch the race
horse. Bald Eagle, beside him, seemed
bag of bones. A Sioux City jockey
was selected to ride Organ, and Lit
tie Ben, the crack rider of the nation,
was put up on Bald Eagle.
There was nothing to the race but
Bald Eagle. He took the lead inside
of three jumps and beat Organ un-
der the wire by sixteenth of mile.
The Indians demanded the stakes, and
as there were about forty of them to
one Sioux City man they got it.
