STRIKING RESEMBLANCE
OF MEN In PUBLIC LIFE

g TRIKING facial resemblances of
y men in public life and in official
circles in this city are frequently COM
mented upon. There are three men
widely known whose similarity of
face and form Is so striking that
queer mistakes of identity are expe-
rienced every now and then. The re.
semblance of the president to his dis
tinguished secretary of the navy and
attorney general, Mr.. Moody, has al
ways been the subject Of remark and
now and then of humorous mistakes.
Now that Mr.. Moody has been ele-
waited, or at least transferred, to the
supreme court of the United States,
he has come across another double
in the person of James Maher, clerk OF
the supreme court.
When Justice Moody first met Mr..
Maher It was as member of the
house Of representatives, when the re-
semblance between the two was re-
marked. Again when as attorney gen.
eral he had occasion to go to the
courtroom he occasionally saw his
double, and now as justice on the

SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR
A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

WASHINGTON senate gal
w leries are always filled when SEN
ator Tillman Is announced to speak.
No other senator since the days Of the

able to draw such crowds as he.
Yet Senator Tillman isn't great
orator. In the first place, his voice is
a bit shrill and unpleasant, until he
gets warmed up to the shouting point.
and then it takes on a deeper and
more sonorous timbre.
Again. he speaks somewhat discon-
nectedly, sometimes losing the thread
of his argument altogether. But, like
a creek or river diverted from its path,
he always gets back to the main bed
of his progress in time.
He sometimes makes his sentences
SO long that he has to pull up short
and begin again. When he reads from
a prepared manuscript-this is not
often-the monotony Of his delivery
Is tiresome.
When he Is making speech from
data scattered about his desk he has
prodigious difficulty in finding his ref
erences at critical junctures. He
gropes all over the Uttered desk and
the desks of his senatorial neighbors
on either hand for the missing piece of

the desks and on the floor, becomes
red in the face and clustered and mad
all through.
The neighboring senator's make a
great show of helping him to find what
he is looking for, but they really don't
try very hard, for they are smiling all
the time and apparently enjoying the
spectacle of wrath which the South
Carolinian presents in these circum-
stances. A smoker runs around the
galleries at such times, and this does
not cause the senator from South
Carolina to feel himself any more at
ease over the lost reference.
But always he succeeds in finding
the lost bit of paper in time. He sim
ply will not proceed until he does find
it, and he has searched for as long as
ten minutes, while senate and audi
ence waited. Then he goes ahead
with his argument.
His gestures are those Of man
wholly unframed in the art OF oratory,
but somehow the Hacking gestures
seem to belong to and to suit the flow
of words when the senator becomes
thoroughly wrought up. For all that
he is a very well read man. the sena-
tor is still rough diamond.

A GREAT CHANGE.

The wave of prohibition which is
sweeping over the South is a very in
teresting phenomenon. 1t is submerging
Mississippi. In that State seventy two
of the seVenty-six counties have vot-
ed dry, and bill before the legislature
providing for a State unit in place Of
the county unit, is to be urged for
passage with the press Of the State
outside the cities-strongly favoring it.
The four wet counties contain cities
within their boundaries and, invariably
vote wet, with the prohfbitionists claim
ing. that with seventy-two Of the sew
enty-six counties backing them they
can Danish the Rum Demon for good
and all from the State.
Perhaps, and probably, it will be
found in the South, as it has been in
this North, that prohibition doesn't pro-
l4ibit. But while it is being so found
the cause of temperance may gain
some. 1t may also be that the prohibit
tionists who now are so powerful in the
South will get a notion that lynching
ought to be prohibited.

The interesting report comes from
Washington that our battleships may
not, after all, have to go to the Pacific.
1t seems that the object of the report
that they would go has been accom-
plished. This sounds good and diplo-
matte, and indicates that the United
States is about as smart as they make
'em. The administration has paved the
way for dispatching the fleet to the
Pacific at any time in the future with
out furnishing an excuse for a sensa-

present differences between the United
States and Japan should be smoothed
out and the lingo talk die away, 1t is
doubtful whether the feet will be sent
on the long and expensive journey to
the Pacific. The trip was planned be-
cause of the ugly Japanese situation,
which had many elements of danger in
it. That is the absolute fact, all talk to
the contrary Notwithstanding With the
removal of these danger signs there
will be no necessity for the expedition

THE INFORMAL LAW.

There is not yet any general de-
mand that the informal, or unwritten,
law be written, though here and there
a voice is raised in advocacy of writ
Ing it. Meanwhile 1t continues to get
itself enforced. All Mrs, Bowie want
ed was "a jury of Maryland men, She
got 1t, and she got the acquittal she
expected. Now Mr.. Posey is threat
ening to kill Bowie or two, in order
to soothe his feelings" and If he does
he may ask for the application of an
unwritten law to his case. Why not?
Mrs. Bowie thought Mr.. Poseys son
deserved death at her hands and she
attended to the matter without delay.
Now Mr.. Posey thinks "a Bowie ought
to die, and If he kills one he will have
pretty good argument" to make in
support of his action. Then perhaps
there will be more feelings" and more
arguments" more killings and more
acQuittals.
AS the strength of an dnwritten law
is based on its popularity the time may
come when there will be quite q code
of unwritten laws, so to speak. Then
there will be a state Of society In
which many can do what 1t suits them
tb do, If they are only careful enough
to keep within the unwritten law. OF
course action In accordance with the
unwritten law is likely to be impulsive
and inaccurate, but IL mans or a
woman's heart is right that is all that
is needed in some cases now, and may
be all that is needed in many cases
hereafter. Why stick closely to writ
ten laws when the unwritten ones are
SO much easier to apply?

A Letter From Dad.

Dear wife, I can not tell you how
I've missed you since you went away
The home Is very lonesome now,
Where did you put my suit of gray2
With none to greet me at the door,
n With heavy heart tread the blocks
That homeward lead; I miss you more
But, say, where did you hide my
socks?
How still and dull the house appears,
miss the sunlight Of your eyes;
The weeks you've been away seem
years.
What has become of all my ties?
hope you will enjoy yourself,
But do not mingle with the fiirts;
I'VE hunted every closet shelf,
Wherever do you keep my shirts4
And now I've told you all the news;
There's nothing more for me, to
write;
Except where did you hide my shoes?
They are not anywhere in sight,
