TERRITORIAL FAIR
 POULTRY EXHIBlT
How the Birds May Be Got In Shape
 for the Early Date.

Superintendent C. B. Wood of the 1 poultry department of the territorial 1 fair association. gave out some infor- nation yesterday that will be of value 1 to those contemplating making dis | plays in his department. It has all ready been announced that the fair 1 will be held beginning November 12 l instead of late in December as last year, for the purpose of making PhoG- l nix the closing point on the racing cir cults of the country and holding fam 1 Ous racers here in winter quarters | This arrangement is also better for ! those intending to make agricultural displays.
 ! But it throws the poultry show into | the wrong time of year. These shows ! in all kinds of climates have been al ways held not later than the middle l of December, for what reason the un- i thinking did not know. MT. Wood ex- plains that chickens are not at their best usually. before the first of De cember. They have begun to take off their old clothes and have not yet fin ! ished putting on their new ones. That ] is, they are still mouIting. But the process of moulting may be hurried so that it will be possible to put the chickens for the show into shape by November 12. Chickens usu-
 ally begin to mOuIt about September l. Those intended for the show should
 then be taken off of food and for ten
 days allowed to have only enough to
 keep them alive.
 At the end of that time they should
 be encouraged to eat enormous quan-
 titles of the richest kind of food, con
 sisting of meat, ground bone, sun
 flower seed etc. This will loosen the
 old feathers and give the new pIumage
 a great start.
 On account of the early date of the
 fair, under the rules of the American
 Poultry Association affecting shows
 held before December. the poultry will
 be judged by comparison and not by
 score cards. It will them be necessary
 to have all the poultry in not later than the Saturday before the opening of the fair. in order that the compari- sons may be made on Sunday and Monday.

THE REPRESlTO CLUB-Fish and Game Commissioner Pinney has a re- port from the RepresitO club, that there is very large number of wild ducks there now, which from indi- cations, are likely to remain there all summer and breed. The reservoir is well filled wilh water, and will be kept full all summer. This will insure to the club members an abundance Of good ducks for early fall shooting. No shooting is permitted there during the breeding season The club house will open late in october. An addition will be built to the club house, one or more boats put into commission. and sever al dozen decoys purchased. Several shooting blinds will be constructed in the middle Of the reservoir

For an Independent Judiciary.

The Judiciary Nominators ask the
public for contributions to a campaign
fund, a fund no to dribble into the
pockets Of heelers, not to be divided
among organizations real and bogus, not
to be wasted on hubdub literature, the
rhetoric Of bathos and the drivel Of the
spellbinder, or to purvey to the inextin-
guishable thirst Of hangers on. The
Judiciary Nominators want money to
meet the expense Of naming candidates
by petition and to defray the necessary
cost of a campaign carried on for the
public good and without selfish material
or interests to back it. The independent
candidates for the Judiciary do not buy
their way to Office. Not one dollar, =
says Mr.. CHoATE, has been or will be
accepted from the candidates.
This is of itself a long step toward
Utopia.
Mr.. SHERMAN and Mr.. GRIGGs, the
chairmen Of the Congressional campaign
committees Of the two great political
parties, are standing humbly, hat in
hand, asking the dear people for a dollar
and upward. Whoever wants to save"
the country in that way knows where
to send his check. But the patter Of
the old political barkers may have lost
its power to charm. An independent
Judiciary, owing nothing to politics,
unmortgaged to bosses, absolutely pure
in its source and origin-this is the foun-
dalton stone Of a well ordered State.
Even the shadow Of a doubt or suspicion
Of pollution upon that final arbiter Of
the rights Of the individual should be a
thing unthinkable. In the courts, and
nowhere else, abide the safety, the honor
and the freedom Of the State and the
nation. II the courts are pure the COM
munity is sound.
Do the citizens want Judges bound to
nothing but their oaths, their consciences
and their knowledge of the law, or do
they want boss-made Judges?
II they do not want bOss-made Judges
they will help the Judiciary Nominators.

Artists on Their Dignity.

At all times and in all seasons the
defends the rights, privileges and dig
nifty of the important and artistic trade
in the interests Of which 1t is pub
lished. Recently it urged tailors not to
make themselves ridiculous by describing
their work, their shops and themselves in
extravagant, high flown, pompous words
and phrases. Now it calls on the clothes
makers to declare their independence
of bumptious customers and insist on
cutting and finishing garments as their
superior knowledge and taste dictate, not
to please the unreasonable whims and
fanc.es OF too presuming purchasers:
Why is It that taIlors psssIvcly concede In this
way that their customers know more than they do
themselves about correct. fashionable and artistic
attlref 10 Il because they feel themselves N.
ferior. or because they lack the courage OF con
yiction, or because they love the almighty dollar
50 well that they prefer to eat humble pie to losing
a customer"
The fear Of losing a customer compels
many a skilled craftsman and even some
very dignifed professional persons to
"eat humble pie Yet there are cases
in which the iron must enter the sensitive
soul OF the man Of goose and shears.
The Tailor and Gutter describes a pos
sible incident in a tailor's shop.

undertook TO get back to the neighbor-
hood Of Lundy by dead reckoning. the
navigating Lieutenant got her in too
close. If proper soundings had been
taken and IL he had been on deck when
she struck, his sentence probably would
have been lighter,
Severe sentences were passed on both

careers. unless there should be a war
Against the justice and prOpriety OF the
judgment no word has been said. Still,
many Of the English papers seem to have
walked up to tbe real difficulties In the
case ard the actual cause Of the disaster,
the heaping Of too much responsibility
on the ships commander,
The old theory OF the sailing days chat
the Captain is responsible for everything
that happens on his ship still holds, and
must hold forever, within reasonable
limits. The modern battleship is a
fighting engine; its Captain must above
all maintain discipline and be ready TO
carry out with his vessel the orders that
are given to him, in peace and in war.
II is a ship, at the same time, and he must
know how to navigate it, unwieldy as it
is, and avoid, among other things, COLI
sions and running aground. It is a big
floating machine shop, full Of count
less steam, hydraulic and electric con-
trivances that must be kept in per-
feet order, and the Captain a matters
stand must see to all these. He must
be an expert in gunpowder, II there are
to be no explosions or disabled guns In
his turrets. He may find it necessary,
too, to know something Of naval strategy
or the other fine points OF his profession.
The handy man is being broken down
by the burden put upon him. That
seems to be the sentiment in England
regarding the Captain Of the Montagu.
When the anxieties Of wal time are
added he may hold up for the time, but
he does not hold out long after. How
many Of u W Captains IN the Spanish
war, only eight years ago, are alive now1
The navies Of the world. II they are to
be efficient, will have to devise some
lean Of dividing the responsibility and
the work, which are now too great for
one man, in a battleship, and while keep
ing the Captain in command, Of relieving
him Of some part Of the technical, prac-
teal knowledge now demanded Of him.
That lesson, too, England seems to be
drawing from the loss Of the Montagu.

Heroism unauthorized was shown in the
act OF Mrs. MARY O'NEILL Of Bay Ridge
the other day and should be rewarded by
the Carnegie hero trustees for its value as a
definition OF what the virtue Is as we'll as for
its merits. She was bathing when a small
boy, not her own, fell into deep water.
Though she didn't know how to swim she
rushed in bravely, reached the boy and
somehow or other got to land with him in
safety.
Plenty of other people have tried tho
same thing, but have usually been taken
out OF the water drowned. Mrs. O'NEILL's
example is hardly one to be initiated.
None the less the impulse TO do, the forget
fulness OF personal risk and the accom-
plishment Of the purpose are all there; IL is
the spirit that leads forlorn hopes to suo-
cess. Theirs not to reason why, theirs
but to do and die Mrs. O'NEILL didn't
stop to think; she rushed right In and won.
She is a brave woman and a lucky one.

The National Chaos.

Il Is impossible to say truthfully that
Mr.. BRYAN has set forth the present and
future platform Of the Democratic party
and established himself definitely az its
candidate for the Presidency. Itcould be
said with equal reason, and more probable
ity, that he had set forth the platform
Of the Republican party and established
somebody else as its candidate.
The Republican press gives Mr.. BRYAN
q far warmer, potter and more sympa-
thetic welcome than he gets from the
Democratic newspapers.
In the humiliation Of all the old polit-
zeal structures which Mr.. ROOSEVELT has
wrought are we to discern him in the
future as the logical and natural candi-
date Of the Democracy, while some
Bryan-WILLIAM j. or another-becomes
the champion of the Republicans
For that Mr.. ROOSEVELT will be a
candidate lin spite Of all our convictions
10 the contrary appears now to be Of
the widest popular acceptance. If n
may believe in the assertions in the
public prints, if n may trust in utter
ances boldly and confidently attributed
TO Mr.. ROOSEVELT himself, if one may
put ones confidence in the expression
that is everywhere current Of the public
temperament and the public desire, then
Mr.. ROOSEVELT is assuredly now and
inevitably will be at the critical moment
the popular candidate. We are called
upon to dismiss Mr.. R~oosEvELT's formal
and direct disavowal made on election
night of further pretence or consent to
another term. Many reasons are alleged
for this; mostly reasons which are sophis-
ticated and devious. One reason alone
has weight with us, and that is that it is
the prerogative Of genius to control its
own motives, assured that whatsoever
its decision it will enjoy the appreciation
OF the multitude.
Make no mistake. The logarithm Of
Mr. RoosEvELT's career resides in the
definition Of a Genius!
Let no one be deluded with the idea
that Mr.. RoosEvELT's dominancei is on the
wane, that his star is in declension. He
Is far yet from his apogee and is to-day
a more potential force with the people of
this country, Republicans and Democrats
alike, than any other day hitherto. There
n no one else in their minds, not one; no
TAFT, no Roof, no CANNoN-no one at all
in all that vast Intellectual procession.
No BRYAN? Alas! Mr.. BRYAN is not
sven a wholesome distraction.

people do not vote either Mr.. COler, Van Week or

made such good kings OF the h. II. T. Gravesend

Brooklyn and Manhattan citizens from getting 70
COney Island, and thus killing the Coney Island

The only pasSen gers who got To the island through
their aid were sent there In the patrol wagon and
locked up.
am glad to say l see Mr.. Phil Jolly has s,ss4

Duties OF a Naval Commander.

All summer long England has been
made uncomfortable by a suspicion that
there is a screw loose somewhere in the
object of her greatest pride, her main
defence in time of war, the navy. The
wooden walls of England have been con
verted into steel, with little apprehen-
sion on the part Of the people Of the
changes involved and no diminution
OF confidence in the officers and men
that man them. They have imagined
until very recently that Lord CHARLEY
BRREsFoRD, for instance, would conduct
a fight, with some slight differences,
much as NELSON did on the Victory.
At the end Of last May an unpleasant
incident occurred. A brand new first
class battleship, the Montagu, which
cost more than 100000 to build, COM
handed by an officer OF marked ability
in the service, was landed in a fog plump
on a rock off Lundy Island in the Bristol
Channel. Throughout the summer flu
tile efforts have been made to float the
ship; there are hints Of excessive sums
spent in the attempt and Of the clashing Of
Admiralty red tape with the suggestions
Of competent wrecking experts. At all
events, the attempt has failed and the
vessel is abandoned. The 81, OOO, 600 worth
Of skilled construction has been turned
into junk. The salvage has been incon-
siderable, and it is to be noted that owing
70 the strength Of the barbettes it is
unlikely that the costly IL inch guns can
be got out.
About the time that all hope was given
up OF saving any portion of the ship
the Captain and navigating Lieutenant
were tried by court-martial, as is the
rule, for losing the ship. The Montagu
had started in n fog from the neighbor-
hood Of Lundy Island for the purpose
Of performing experiments in wireless
t~elegraohy in connection with other
points on the coast. The Captain was a
type OF man that is non too common in
either the navy or the army; he was a
specialist in gunnery and an expert in
wireless telegraphy. He had a mission
70 perform that interested him greatly,
and It came out that he spent most Of
his time over the apparatus, turning
over to others the greater part Of the
handling Of the ship.
There are few nastier spots on the
British coast than the Bristol Channel,
with it's cross currents and confused
tides in heavy weather and fogs. The
thicdy dotted charts of the Wreck Com
missioners show the toll of ships it takes
annually. The Montagu was put about
In all sorts of directions in her short
