An Explanation.

MI. Editor, l should like to be
permitted to make a short explain
alton to your readers in regard to
a certain scurrilous attack made
upon the character of our county
superintendent of schools on the
eve of election. The matter to
which I refer was an affidavit pur-
porting to be made by the Rev. S
b. Gray and sworn to before me,
as a notary public.
[ did take an acknowledgement
for Mr.. Gray. at that time and very
likely for the instrument under
consideration.
At this point wish to make it
clear to all the readers of this pa
per just what connection a notary
public has in connection with pa
pers that are acknowledged before
him. The notary public's bust
ness is to see that a document is
signed by the identical person rep
resented as signer and to determine
that such person signs the docu-
ment as his free act and deed; and
to administer oaths. The notary
public simply verifes these
facts to the public. He does
not usually know what is in
the instrument he acknowledges.
Moreover, it is none of his bust
ness what the instrument con-
tains. Indeed, the notary who at
tempts to read what is in the pa
pers he acknowledges is frequent
ly reminded that it is none of his
business what the subject matter
is. For the a stated I did
not know what the affidavit con-
tanned; for the reasons stated, also,
it was none of my business what
the papers contained.
[ am not attempting to deter
mine the truth or falsity of the
statements made in the affidavit.
The man whose character is ira
duced is present and in among
friends and hence competent to
defend himself. The young ,wo-
man, whom many Of us kenw and
remember as a respectable and es-
Unable girl is absent and defense
less. Such a report whether true
OF false made public and circulat-
ed by one who should be her natur-
al friend and protector, deserves

r..,. ,,.an Morr Thap TheorIes.

No one can intelligently follow the developments of American politics who does not avail himself of the lnforma . fion collected in a comprehensive polt- tical year book like The Tribune Al manac This publication covers the national field. and offers its readers the freshest facts concerning our var the vote by counties in each State in which an election was held in 1905, summarizing federal legislation for the year and notes all important changes in personnel under the national govern ment and the State governments. The Tribune Almanac for 1906 gives, be- sides, the vote in every State by coun- ties for Roosevelt and Parker. and tab- ulates the official returns by States for all the six Presidential tickets in the field in 1904. It gives the popular vote 1904, and the electoral and popular votes for President and Vice President since 17S9. It gives the full and exact vote cast for candidates for Congress in each Congress district in the United States in 1904 and the political plat forms and national committees of all parties.
 Politics is the main feature of the is- sue for 1906. But other topics are coV- cred with fitness and accuracy. The federal government, the various federal mercial and industrial statistics. are features only less important than the digest of election returns. Educational and religious statistics. sporting rec ords. statistics of learned and patriotic societies, foreign miscellany, necrolo- gy and a review of the Russo Japanese War are included in this handy and

A Senatorial checISmote Needed

New York Evening Post.
 Washington dispatches make it clear that there is daily less and less like lihood of the ratification of the Santo Dominican treaty The President is re- ported to have consented to any amendment" in order to secure it's adoption. but there is known to be at least one Republican Senator who will not vote for it under any circumstan- ces, in which case at least five Demo- cratic votes will be needed if 1t is to be ratified. It seems hardly possible that these will be forthcoming; indeed, it is an open secret that there are several Republicans who. if they dared, would also vote against 1t. not so much be- cause of lack of sympathy with the Dominican program, but as a check to an oYer-hasty President Meanwhile every days delay makes 1t plainer that if there in one thing the country is not crylng for, 1t is the task of policing the Caribbean, and financially super vising any rotten republic which may appeal for our aid on the theory of dam ger from a foreign Power. Even the warmest friends of Mir Roosevelt should welcome a Senatorial checkmate in this matter; it can only make him more useful President during the rest Of his term if it is brought home to him that there are some things which anyhow"
