REST.

If all the skies were sunshine,
Our faces would be fain
To feel once more upon them
The cooling plash OF rain.
II all the world We're music,
Our hearts would often long
For one sweet strain OF silence
To break the endless song.
II life were always merry,
Our souls would seek relief
And rest from weary laughter
In the quiet arms OF grief.

it must put an end to all talk of presi-
Dental and other politics, hard times,
the near or far approach of prosperity,
the race question, and even the prob
lem of making $40 buy $40 worth of
Christmas presents. Mr.. Thompson Sc
ton wants to know why mosquitoes viii
not bite frogs. Did you ever pause in
your wild career to think about that
If not, hesitate now. Stop, look, lis
ten. Forget everything else for a few
days.
Mr.. Thompson Seton, for SO he shall
be called during the remainder of these
observations. propounded his puzzle
during a lecture TO an eastern audience
few days ago. He knew that frogs
were not molested by mosquitoes be-
cause he had spent some time during
the summer conducting experiments.
He caught a frog and held it for sew
eral minutes in the thick and center of
a cloud of mosquitoes. The brave in
vestigator suffered terribly from the
bites. The frog suffered not at all.
The mosquitoes absolutely refused to
take even one small nip at it.
Why was this thus? Mr.. Thompson
Seton doesn't knows which is quite an
admission for him to make. But, at the
risk of being called a nature faker, or
a shorter and uglier" name by the
great sage who sits in the White house,
he places himself on record as saying
that mosquitoes do not bite frogs.
Isn't he just a trifie hasty in coming to
that conclusion after one experiment?
We believe our disinterested readers
will agree that any mosquito that
would bite a frog when it had the pal
atabie hand and arm of Mr.. Thompson
Seton before it for lunch would be a
fool mosquito. 1t would be a fit candi-
date for the bug house where insane
and otherwise mentally deficient mos
quitoes are confined.
If you were a mosquito and had your
choice between rich, red Thompson Sc
ton blood and the watery, fishy, chilly
DlOOU pL d AIOSs WHICH SSO
choose? II you chose the frog would
you ever be able to hold up your head
and sing merrily among your mosquito
acquaintance again? Certainly not
For our own part, we shall decline to
accept Mr.. Thompson Seton's declara-
ton as gospel truth without corrobora-
tive testimony. It's our candid opin-
ion that if a mosquito was starving to
DEATH if it stood on the verge of the
grave and saw the twilight changing
into the darkness of the hereafter, it
would take a chance with any frog that
hoped.
Seriously. we cannot see that the hap
DIV YuIetide season will be made hap
pier by the knowledge Mr.. Thompson
Seton has impaired, if knowledge it is.
We do not care a great deal whether
mosquitoes bite frogs or not. They
have our fun and free permission to do
so if they desire. We would even be
willing to furnish the frogs if the mos
ouitoes would sign contracts to bite
nothing else.

Mr.. CONTIGUOUS STATEMENT.

There is an old, old story about a
man who had been appointed to an i'm
portant government position. For the
present purposes we will say he was
made attorney general When he went
back home on a visit he asked the old
negro who drove him from the station
10 the little hotel: ''Eph@what did the
people here say when they heard l was
appointed attorney generaI?" Eph
scratched his head as he replied:
"Dey didn' say nothin', sub, dey jes
-Infed."
- That's the way great majority of
the people of the country have felt
about the feeble little Cortelyou boom
for the Republican presidential nomina-
ton. The secretary of the treasury
takes himself very seriously, but the
American public does not, in respect to
The presidency, at least. It was hardly
necessary for him TO issue statement
announcing that he has not been "a
candidate for anything except the cons
fdence of the people" Mighty few out
side of Mr.. Cortelyou's Immediate circle
ever regarded him as candidate for
the presidency. however earnest he NAV
have been himself.
In contest for a presidential nom
ination nobody is barred. of course. 1t
is the inherent inalienable and mex
tinguishabIe right of every American
citizen to become a candidate for any
thing in the line of public office, either
elective or appointive. It does not fol-
low, however, that any and every can
didate must be taken seriously Mr..
Cortelyou unless the whole face of the
political earth should be altered by a
convulsion, has no more chance to be
nominated for president of the United
States than he has to be called to oc-
cupy the throne Of Germany.
The secretary of the treasury is a
most deserving gentleman. We have
nothing but praise for the manner in
the position OF stenographer at almost
nothing a year to the headship of the
second most important of all the gov
eminent departments. Indeed, the treas
ury department is regarded by many
as of more Importance than the state
department 1t will be said that Mr.
Cortelyou's advancement has been
largely by favor, and, while this is true
10 some extent. it is just as true that
he could not have forged to the front
as he has if he had not possessed real
ability.
But he has not been conspicuously
able. He has a great capacity for de-
tail and for routine work, but he has
originated nothing of value TO the coun-
try. And his close relations with Wall
street would of themselves effectually
prevent his nomination by the Republi
can convention even if he had attained
some prominence as a candidate. His
declaration published yesterday bears
all the earmarks of an announcement
that he is a candidate. although he ap-
.srentlv seeks to convey the opposite
in,nression. If he finds amusement in
This he is welcome TO it, because no
bodv else will be hurt in the slightest
degree by it,

COR LOCAL OPTION.

In a widely published interview Adolf
plus Busch of St. Louis, head of the
I greatest brewery in the world, declared
in favor of local option. Mr.. Busch
said that the prohibition clause in the
constitution of Oklahoma had cost him
81, 600. O0O Mr.. Busch realizes that if
the brewery and distiIlery interests had
not fought 50 bitterly. a local option.
and not a prohibition clause, would
have been placed in the Oklahoma con-
stitution.
The local option sentiment is gaining
ground rapidly more rapidly than the
prohibition sentiment. There are now
only a few states in the union inswhich
the counties are not permitted TO say for
themselves whether or not intoxicants
shall be sold within their borders. Utah
is one Of them. Some of the others are
Idaho, Montana Nevada, Wyoming. and
California. in four states Georgia.
Maine, Kansas and Oklahoma, prohibit
ton is enforced. In Texas it is against
the law to sell intoxicants on dining
cars 1t is even against the law for a
traveller to drink out of his private bot
tie on a train, unless he can show that
the intoxicant is used for medicinal
purposes.
In the local option states, though
some of them have had the law on their
books for only a short time, the per-
centage Of dry" counties ranges from
40 TO 81. And the sentiment is gaining
at a rate that alarms the liquor inter
ests immensely. They are declaring
their opposition to the low saloons;
they are opposing the establishment of
saloons by breweries. They urge the
revocation Of the licenses of places in
which disturbances occur. They say
that the saloon must not be used as a
breeding place for crime. The repen-
lance of the manufacturers and whole
saIers. though belated, seems neverthe-
less sincere.
If all saloons had been conducted on
a decent. orderly basis. if all had
obeyed the law against opening their
places on Sunday, against selling IL
quor to minors and habitual drunkards,
if, in short they had recognized the
right of the lawmaking authorities 10
regulate them instead of defying' the
authorities, the movement for prohibit
ton and local option could not have
gained the Roadway it shows at this
time Whether or not the liquor inter-
ests will be able to stem the tide is, to
the unprejudiced observer, an open
question. The opinion of many is that
they have started too late, and that it
is only a question of a comparatively
few years when the last entertainment
of the saloon will have been taken by
the prohibition forces.
