A JAPANESE expert in building,
known here as an architect, after
looking over the ruins of San Fran
cisco, is said to have expressed
the opinion that our builders do not
do their work we'll as in his country.
1t is doubtless true, and is probably
owing to that spirit which pervade
business as we'll as politics, for LET.

Is SOCIALISM AKIN TO ANARCHIsM?-
The Socialists have nominated Will.
liam ID. Haywood for Governor of
Colorado, who was Secretsry-Treas.
urer of the Western Federation Of
Miners, and is now in prison in Idaho,
for alleged completely in the assassina.
ton OF Gov. Steunenberg, some months
ago. The Socialists claim that he has
been prejudged by being merely held
for trial, upon confession OF one of the
conspirators. They lose sight of the
fact, however, that they are commit.
ting the same mistake by assuming
that Haywood is innocent without an
attempt to prove the falsity of the
accusation, and when they boast open
ly that he will be elected, and in that
event they will march to Idaho and
take him BY force from prison and
march with him in triumph to the
State House in Colorado and inaugu-
rate him as Executive. There is, of
course, much loose talk by curb.stone
politicians, but if it is determined that
Socialism embraces the methods OF
the Anarchist, it will lose the support
OF all law-abiding people.

The Deaf and Blind.

Th,. pr portion Of blind persons IN
tie United States l. one for every
| 300 aud of deaf one in every so,
according 10 a special census report on
that subject, lately prepared by govern
ment siati-tic:anS. 1t shows: Totally
blind, $3.50; partially blind 29,39S {;
apgregating Gl,1,3 OF these 1901
are mon and -, 400 women. The
wholly deaf number 81 ,N26, and those
partially afflicted, 1883, a total OF
o9,G19. These totals, the report says,
may be regarded as the minimum, as
doubtless an unknown number of both
classes have not been located by the
enumerators. A large proportion Of
those who were blind at birth, the re-
port shows, were the offspring OF cous.
ms. At least ten per cent. of the
blind were engaged in gainful occupa.
tions, and the percentage of those en-
ploycd in professional pursuits, trade,
manufacturing and mechanical indus
tries are larger among the totally blind
than with the general public.
Deafness is found to be more COM
mon in the North than in the South,
and it atilicts more males than fe-
males. The percentage of those who
have been deaf from childhood up to
u years is 81 per cent.-and from
birth 3G per cent. OF the $3.50 re-
returned as deaf, 55,50l are able to
speak we'll, 9,4l7 imperfectly, and the
remainder are mutes. In this aillic-
ton, likewise, it is shown that consan-
guinity has played an important part.
The percentage of deaf who arc gain.
fully employed is 97.7, mostly in occu-
pations where perfect or even partial
hearing is not needed.

Casting for a Rise.

Now that il j. becoming evident Mr..
Koosc,tit intends to persist in bis de-
cllnatipn Of a denomination ior the
Presidency there j. beginning to de-
velop disposition TO cut entirely
loose from his administration. 1t is
now said that he is nervous and tired
OF his duties: in fact worn out and
rnahi" 10 bear the strain Of another
four years term, condition that
would Mt have been admitted IA few
days ago. This Will be surprise to
many who have believed that the
Presidents reserve power was mex.
hau,iible. He has, especially in his
military career, shown such marked
vitality, that this announcement comes
somewhat as revelation to those vino
have considered his resources, physical
and mental, As practically inexhaustl-
bic. and we may now expect many adj
missions of waning faith to those who
have had their pet hobbies in partisan
ship Jostled by his marked manner OF
doing things.
/. lie probably this knowledge OF the
effect of exacting duty that has made
the President anxious for season OF
rest, and it seems, from the trend OF
al .irs, that he has selected Taft to
wear the honors Of the Presidential
succession. He is reported as having
said, few days ago, that Taft is the
only man who stands chance OF beat.
ing strong Democrat, and Taft him
self has seconded that proposition, by
a virtual declaration Of his candidacy,
in a speech at Greensboro, n. c., last
week. This, coming on the heels OF
the Presidents declaration, and only
day or two before the State Conven-
ton, seem to be confirmatory links OF
plan for organizing Taft movement.
IT'S we'll. There will be no stam-
pede for Taft, as there was for Roose-
welt when he was the only available
candidate, and it was known that the
Democracy had no show of success.
Many circumstances conspired to ere.
ate this anomalous condition of affairs.
The recent death of Hanna, the I'M
stinted influence OF official patronage,
the nomination OF Parker, the oppor.
tunity OF the rank and file to get even
with leaders who had guillotined the
party twice in succession, all conspired
to sweep the man that nobody really
wanted into the Presidential chair by
an overwhelming majority. Those
Democrats who honored the President
for the enemies he had made, more
than replaced the ballots he lost from
apathy of many of the corporations.
They now know that their suspicious of
Roosevelts spostacy was fully justified
and they are just as pleased as were
those Democrats who thought that
aside from the spoils view taken of
availability, Roosevelt would make as
acceptable President Is Parker.
And the result has justified their
expectations.

Bryan is Willing But Not Anxious.

To place at rest question like that
which has worried our Republican
neighbors SO persistently for many,
many months-as to whether Roose-
welt would consent to run for a third
term-we have to say that the Demo-
Gratis have no such trouble to en-
counter. While Mr.. Bryan does not
seek the nomination, he will not
avoid it, ii conditions seem TO demand
that he accept. He writes from Stock
holm, June 18th, TO James X. Jones,
OF Arkansas, who was chairman Of the
Democratic committee, wien Mr..
Bryan made his former campaigns. lie
says:
Il have been watching political devel-
Opements and have noted with gratiiica.

ciples. You have correctly stated my
position. AS l wrote to Col. Wetmore,
| shall do nothing to secure another
nomination. and do not want it unless
the conditions seem to demand it.
may add that l enjoy the freedom Of
private life and feel that can do some
good without holding any office.
There are, however, certain reforms
which l would like very much to see
accomplished, and to assist in the ac-
cOmplishment of these reforms | am
willing to become the party candidate
again, if, when the time for the nomina-
ton arrives, the advocates of reform are
in control of the party and think that
my candidacy will give the best assur-
ances OF victory. If some one else seems
more available, l shall be even better
pleased.
need not assure you that | am
more interested in seeing our principles
triumphant than am in the personnel
of the ticket. The country needs to
have Jeffersonian Democracy applied to
all the departments OF the Government

help make this application.

cago stock yards, have made no better
record themselves, and the informa.
ton comes through DR.. F. Cooper, one

which, in his opinion as an official of
many years experience, are about as
bad as can be-" In England there is
practically no inspection of meat. He
further says: "There are hundreds OF
tons Of rotten meat sold in London
every year. This refers to the canned
goods as well as so called fresh meats.
Diseased cattle are slaughtered and
sold by the hundreds; rotten. meat,
chemically treated, is timed by the
ton and sold as perfect, and the utmost
filthiness prevails in handling the
meat" He declares also that hun
dreds OF tons OF horse. flesh are sold in
London, being canned aud marketed
under the disguise of tongue.
