Roosevelt Reforms.

Railroad rate legislation and other
reforms could not have been enacted
without the votes of Democratic con-
gressmen, unless Republicans had
been united for them in both branches
of congress. 1t is certain that at least
there would have been no Republican
majority for the rate bill in the SEN
ate if the Democrats had opposed it.
When the railroads and their congress
sional friends saw that there were
enough Republicans who would vote
with the Democrats to pass the bill,
they at once decided to make the best
of a bad bargain and accept conditions
they could not overcome. Their ef-
forts were then turned to amending
the bill so that if not rendering it un-
constitutional, it would do the least
possible damage to the corporations.
The appeal of President Roosevelt to
Senators Bailey and Tillman for aid
to pass the rate bill, before he had
been able to make the deal for the
Allison amendment, when he then
threw his allies overheard, proves that
the bill could not have passed with
out Democratic votes.
Senator Foraker names number of
members of congress from Ohio who
opposed President Roosevelt's policies,
and others might be named from near
IL every state who were also known
to be opposed, until the fact was
shown that enough Republicans would
vote with the Democrats to pass some
of the measures.
The statehood bill was first passed
through the house, with the Demo-
Gratis opposing it. 1t was then party
and partisan measure, but when the
Democrats, senators and some Repub-
licans adopted the Foraker amend
ment, giving the people of Arizona
the right to vote on joint statehood.
The Republican partisans of the house
held up the bill until Mr.. Williams,
the Democratic leader, filibustered
and compelled the Republican major.
ity to accept the referendum amend
ment. Mr.. Roosevelt found himself
helpless to prevent this, because he
was not backed by the Democrats, and
has since advised the Republicans of
Arizona to vote for joint statehood,
them that without they
succeeded they would not get admitted |
for years.
The defeat of the Santo Domingo |
treaty is another instance where Mr..
Roosevelt was defeated because his
policy did not appeal to the Demo.

CURIOUS PARTISAN ADVICE.
Shaw Tries to Induce Young Men to
Support Rotten Policies.


AS the star Republican spellbinder
Secretary Shaw is, as Artemus Ward
would say, "an amusin' cuss." The
trouble with Shaw is that his partisan
philosophy is out of gear and will not
stand the test Of application to par.
ticular cases. Shaw in a speech at
st. Louis. said: Il advise young men
to vote for parties and not men, for
parties stand for principles and men
do not always do So" But if the party
is corrupt and its principles rotten,
what is the young man to do then?
And as unfortunately, the Republican
machine politicians in st. Louis, and
nearly everywhere else, are under a.
cloud and Republican reformers are
declaring that Republican politicians
are rotten to the core, and in many
states have proved that contention;
whaot would Shaw advise his young
Republican friends to do under such
circumstances?
Does he advise the young Repub-
licans of Iowa to vote the whole Re-
publican ticket, or would he say, if
his advice could be rendered privately,
vote the Republican ticket, but
scratch Cummins?'
All the corrupt rings advise the
young voter to support the whole
ticket and pay no attention to the
character or corrupt dOings of the
leaders or candidates.
The Republican party in Philadel-
phia and Pennsylvania, in New Jersey,
in New Hampshire, in New York, and
other states, will forever be wallowing
in the mire Of Penroseism, of Dryden
corruption, of Gallinger and Boston G
Maine railroad domination, and OF
most disreputable machine politics in
the empire state, if Shaw's advice is
followed. The Republican party has
come to a sorry plight even with the
utmost that the refOrmerS in it's ranks
can do, but when it's young and en-
thusiastic voters are advised to shut
their eyes and vote blindly for all the
rascals and standpat policies and all
the foolish old schemers of the Shaw
wonder the young men balk. Shaw's
advice would not only make the party
a stencil in the nostrils of decent peo-
pie, but political cadaver that every
one would be anxious to bury.
The Democracy is different from
Republicanism, the independence of
the young Democrat and his attraction
to the honest and able leaders of the
party, has been, and will forever be,
the salvation of the party of the peo-
pie. The independence of Democrats
makes platforms that will stand ap-
proval and candidates that will bear
the investigation that is the sole safe
guard of the voters. The Democracy
invites the young voter to study the
former and present policies Of the
party, to probe the character of its
and aid in the nomination
of able and honest ones and vote ac-
cordingly.

Recently Iamagno, the Italian tenor
and the greatest singer of the age, de-
string to leave for his children some
record of his genius, had made, upon
specially prepared plates for reproduc-
ton in the phonograph, several rec
ords of his songs. Two of these rec
ords have been preserved in museum
in Paris. The plates were made with
great care and are sealed in metal
boxes, containing also chemical COM
pounds for their preservation. The
boxes are labeled and dated. One will
be opened so years from now and the
other at the end of a century.

A new law of France provides for a
"rest day." and even gay Paris is TAX
ing to the idea with relish. In fact
the employees in some establishments
which have disregarded the require
ments of the law are in such earnest
that they have made a lively demons
tration. 1t is evident that great
many French people are more willing
to observe Sunday than has been sup
posed And as the law is in the in
terest of good morals as well as good
order, there will be general approval
of those who seek to enforce it.

make his own ice at a cost of ten
cents a hundred pounds, the process
taking only five minutes. He adver-

Damascus, whose pedigree is the
longest of living cities, is losing its
character. An enterprising Belgian
company is cutting through it with an
electric tramway, and Is sprinkling
electric lights in its ancient streets.
What is more, the motive power for
these installations is derived from
the harnessing of the river falls 20
miles off, so that no feature of the
modern invasion is spared the place
whence the Jew of Tarus escaped in

acting consul reports that 31e miles

NO MEDICINE.
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the aliment-
airy canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small intes-
tines, and If we eat too much, as most
of us do, the organs that should di-
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and a long train
of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest,
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloaty,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
About five years ago suffered with
bad stomach-dyspepsia, indigestion,
constipation-caused, know now,
from eating starchy and greasy food.
Il doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me there

anything without suffering severe
pain in my back and sides, and I be-
came discouraged.

and I began to use it. In less than
two weeks began to feel better, and

Tea on the Down Grade.

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
couragement in report recently
made by large tea exporting house
in Yokohama to it's American GUS
toners. Incidentally it indicates that
the United States is not alone in fac
ing increased cost of living. The re-
port says: Owing to the rapidly IN
creasing cost Of living in Japan labor
costs more, and in consequence Gull
tivation of the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly,
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf. Hence
the average quality of the teas now
offered for sale Is below that of sea-
sons prior to the war, and for the
same reasons we are not likely in the
future to see any reversion to the
excellence of former years."-New

MISSED chance for Fame.

The astronomer, Lalande, narrowly
escaped being made famous by a dis
covery. He accidentally struck Nep-
tune with his glass on May 8, 1885,
but supposed it was star. He put it
down in his notebook as a star and
recorded it's exact situation. Two
days later he struck it once more and
made record of it. But when he
looked over his notes he found he had
it down as being in two different
places, and as a star cannot move in
48 hours he supposed he had made
a mistake in one of his notes. If he
had used his mind little less me-
chanically he easily might have been
a Columbus.
