THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.
1t Was Built by oliver Evans, Who
Couldn't Lay Up Money.


The real inventor Of the locomotive
never realized II cent from his inven-
ton.
His name was Oliver Evans He was
born In Delaware In 1856 and spent all
his life perfecting inventions which
were destined to bring him nothing but
more poverty. He was the original in-
ventor of the high pressure engine used
in locomotives, the only kind that could
be employed to advantage in this form
of transportation, but realized nothing
for his idea.
His application of the notion to both
land and water power was somewhat
novel.
In 1904 the municipality of Philadel-
phia called for bids for the dredging of
the river and the cleaning of the docks.
Evans put in a bid lower than any Of
his competitors and when 1t was ac-
boat to do the work.
He fitted out Il scow with q steam
engine, building both the engine and
the scow in his own workshop.
When the boat was ready to be
launched Evans determined to give the
people of Philadelphia an object lesson
in mechanics, so he put the boat on
wheels, fitted up push wheel behind,
set his engine to work and propelled
the boat through the streets to the riv-
er in the midst of an open mouthed
throng not few of whom had dim
idea that he ought to be arrested for
witchcraft.
When the boat reached the bank Of
the river, the wheels and axles were
taken off, the craft was launched, fitted
out with other wheels and made to do
the work of dredging the harbor.
So far as the invention of mechani-
cal devices went Evans had a splendid
genius, but when dollars and cents
came up for consideration he was
mere child, and even allowed himself
to be cheated out of the money that
was due him for cleaning the Philadel-
phia harbor with his new tangled
steamboat.

SUICIDE NO BAN ON INSURANCE
Widow Entitled to Benefit From Order
ofHeptasophs.

Trenton, Jan. 1S.-Chief Justice
Gummere has filed an opinion in the
Supreme Court, holding that suicide
is no ban on lodge benefits. The suit
was brought by Mrs. Margaret Saut-
ter, of Newark, against the Supreme
Conclave, Improved Order of Hepta-
sophs. The complainant's husband
was insured for $1,000 in the order,
and when he committed suicide the
widow asked for the insurance money.
This was refused, because the order
had adopted rule that no benefit
was to be paid on the life OF a member
committing suicide. The Court up
holds Mrs. Sautter's claim.

THE PUEBLO INDIANS.
Their Religion Is In n Way n Species
of Water Worship.

Their Religion Is In n Why a Species
of Water Worship.
Eagle feathers are much used in tho
ceremonials OF the Pueblo Indians, and
in order to make sure of supply the
Zuni keep the birds In cages, plucking
few feathers whenever they happen
to want them. On the other hand, the
Moki have eagles nests located at va
rious spots within thirty or forty miles
Of their towns, which are considered
the property Of different clans among
them. The eagle lays its eggs in the
same nest year after year, and the
clans inherit rights to certain nests
from generation to generation.
The eagles are not killed, but the
new fedged young ones are taken
from the nest-that Is to say, all but
one or two, which must be left. To
remind the eagle god to encourage the
laying Of more eggs by the birds an
egg carved out of wood Is placed
where the divinity will be sure to see
it; also, after being plucked, the ca
glets are carefully buried in a certain
cleft in the rocks, which is the eagle
cemetery. Here the eagles have been
inferred for centuries, and the place Is
very sacred.
The Pueblo Indians have tradition
Of the flood, and they say that the tur-
key is marked in commemoration Of
that event, its tail being black at the
end where 1t was dragged through the
mud after tho water had subsidized.
The duck Is another sacred bird, be-
ing associated with water From the
Pueblo point of view, anything that is
related to the all precious water in any
way Is an object Of worship, Their re-
ligion is made up to great extent of
aquatic divinities and might be called
a species Of water worship.

he believe that of his supporters in both parties
there could be formed a successful new party, be-
it is upon certain phases of political reform

upon the fundamental principles of governmental
economy.
The followers of Theodore Roosevelt are look
ing to him to point the way to further achieve
nents in the direction of reform, and wonder
what he would have. Now again does the practical
politician in him appear. He knows that in legis-
lation only thing be accomplished at a

the present time is wholly engrossed with the
shadowing subject of railway-rate regulation and

AS to Legislation

ID UT the President hopes for something more. He
- wants definite legislation relating to campaign
contributions, which will compel the publication of
all receipts for campaign purposes He would also
have severe corrupt practices act passed. While he
recognizes that national legislation cannot reach all
the evils, he believes that national laws in con-
junction with State laws would go long way toward
correcting many of the fragrant cases of abuse:
In this connection it is recognized by the
President that even under present conditions differ
ent methods of financing campaigns used.
There may be official committee which receives
and disburses funds, the receipts being entirely
legitimate and coming from those who contribute
because OF their interest in party personal
friendship for the candidates. The expenditures
will also be legitimate and for the purpose of deray-
ing the cost of headquarters, literature speakers,
and a host of incidentals At the same time there
may be wheel within wheel close corporation,
to speak, which receives large donations for
which some return is expected if the candidates
successful These contributions may be expended
corruptly, and may be considered private matter.
Laws directing regularly appointed committees to
make public receipts and disbursements would not
reach these side" or personal, contributions and
expenditures. In other words, while law intended
for the restriction of large campaign contributions
and the prevention of corruption would be step
in the right direction it would not accomplish all
that is to be desired.
Here then is where another view of the Pres
ident, regarding new politics., may be presented
He recognizes that the stream will not higher
than its source, and that corruption in politics
must be stopped largely by the people themselves
and by those who, believing he does and
working along the lines he has worked, will keep
among and be part of the people, educating and
encouraging them to enter politics for principle
He would use every effort to prevent corruption

By ARTHUR WALLACE DUNN
eAvf is a aha clos
Of President be set

reform, but would have the Democrats give equal
attention to all matters pertaining to decent politics
and clean government Let the who in
terested in better things politically, who do
something in the direction of good government, do
all in their power their parties, and especially
in the primaries; strive to have themselves repre-
sented in conventions by of character who will
support the best men for political offices.
While he is party man in all that pertains to the
essentials of his party and while he recognizes that
government must be by party, President Roosevelt
is not afraid of independence of party Since he
elected President and longer ago than last year,
he has rejoced in the overthrow of the machines
in his party in Philadelphia and Cincinnati
While directly he did nothing in these campaigns,
through the members of his cabinet and closest
friends he encouraged the defeat of what he believed
to be corrupt organizations within his party
in the interest of better government. But all his
life he has reserved the right to act independently
of party when such a departure made for good
government and seemed to offer a means to accom-
plish results He not ashamed to be called
bolter in the Grace campaign in New York city,
nor in the first Low campaign. Both of these men
stood for something better than offered by his
own party, and they received his support.
The New Politics
TT has been stated many times that Theodore
l. Roosevelt has created new politics" that he
has disrupted his own party-for to him the Repub-
hcan party and must be the party of the ideals for
which Abraham Lincoln stood-and also the opposi-
ton that he has driven away the conservative ele-
ment of the Republican party (meaning the monied
class, and has gathered to his support the radical
element of the Democratic party. Thereby he has
created new politics. combined about him
the radicals of the two great political parties.
The President does not consider that this is
charge worthy of serious denial. While it is true
that certain elements in his party elements that
belonged to that party, came into it during the
campaigns of 1896 and 1900 are severely critical of
methods he has pursued he does not recognize
them as the conservatives of his party. Such sup
port as he has received from his party opponents
he has gratefully acknowledged; but he does not
consider these radicals, any than he
considered the other class conservatives Nor does

No General Platform

HESE and similar questions are somewhat
startling to the President Only when they
suggested to him. and he realizes fully the
personal following he has in the country, and the
fact that hundreds of thousands of young are
looking to him to mark the chart for the future
course is the full responsibility of his position i'm
pressed upon him. While he does not shirk respon-
sibty of any kind Theodore Roosevelt realizes
that is rash to lay down course of political pro-
cedure. All his life he has been an advocate of
clean politics and better government, and foe of
corruption and coercion by means of which the
strong Cypress the weak. But in pursuing what
may be termed ideals, he has abandoned the
practical side of politics.
Il work with such tools as will accomplish
best results" has been his maxim. :" l may not
accomplish all that | desire; but if something to-
ward better conditions is achieved even by methods
not wholly to my liking, my work has not
been in vain, is another remark he has often
made
The President does not believe that great reforms
can be accomplished by number of individuals
who lay down abstract moral code and raise
a standard and ask people to rally around them
The practical side of his nature opposed to any such
methods. He has seen too many failures of that
character since he has been in public life. He
realizes that convention of reformers there would
be too many diverse ideas to present a platform of
principles which would command any strength. He
sensible enough to realize that he could not draft
q code which would command the support of all
who believe in the reforms which he advocates, and
which would at the time the support
of the people IN sufficient numbers to accomplish
results.
Theodore Roosevelt has not advocated polit-
ical organization. He thinks reforms can be accom-
plshed in the present political organizations. He
would not have his own party alone party of
