'In every big city there are sew

prefer to remain unseen. They are
monstrosities, beings so terribly un-
like ordinary men and women that If
they ventured out upon tho street
they would instantly be surrounded
by an enormous and shrieking crowd.
"The monstrosities must have air
and exercise. They take it before
dawn, between 4 and 5, for then the
streets are most nearly empty.

slowly in the dim light like the
creatures of a nightmare. The dim.
still hour before dawn Is theirs.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

Although 1t is nearly two years off
the Presidential election is being dis
cussed and candidates picked out. The
latest runners picked for the race are
General Taft for the Republican nomna-
ton and Judge George Gray. of Della
ware. for the Democratic nomination.
1t is too early in the game to attempt
to dispose of Messrs. Roosevelt and
Bryan in such an off-hand manner.
Mr. Bryan has not announced that he
will be candidate for the nomination
at the hands of the Democracy: neither
has Mr.. Roosevelt announced that he
has changed his mind not to be candi-
date, but both gentlemen may have to
bow to a unanimous call from their
respective parties.
Everyone had conceded Mr.. Bryan to
be the strongest Democrat. up to the
time he expressed himself in favor of
government ownership of railroads.
The party is divided on this question, but
there is no need Of making it an issue.
and we do not believe it will be incor-
porated in the platform of the Demo
cratic party,
