Inttmacies.

In this u~nwarranted and wanton criti-
cism the Middletown Times-Press pre-
tends to speak for the old and attached
friends OF Mr.. JOHN BURROUGHS:
BY this time everybody is by way OF knowing
that Mr.. BURRouoHs and the President are on
terms Of the greatest personal intimacy. and the
~insistent and never ending repetition OF this fact
10 getting 10 be wearisome to his friends, besides
giving his critics q chance TO poke fun at him that

VIII he not aka the kindly meant advice Of his old
and true friends and cut out so many references
70 this Presidential intimacyt
IN. IKE JACOB RIIs. boasts too much Of his
friendship with the Chief Magistrate"
We let the reference to Mr.. RIIs stand
because the palpable unfairness of it
serves to show the false and malicious
spirit Of the article. Mr.. RIIs doesn't
boast too much" Mr.. ROOSEVELT may
boast, and with reason, Of his intimacy
with Mr.. RIIs. Mr.. BURROUGHS may be
proud to be known as a pupil Of the
leading naturalist, but on the other
hand Mr.. ROOSEVELT undoubtedly APP
preciates the talents and virtues Of Mr..
BURROUGHS, in whom he recognizes a
m%eritorious nature student who will be
an authority by the time he grows up.
MIR. RoosEvELr's gift for friendship
is one OF the most generous and beau
tiful sides OF his polypolygonal charac-
ter. That gift may be sorely tried, as in
the case Of HANKS; it may grow even
nobler through suffering. as in the case
Of DR.. ALBERT SHAW. but 1t cannot be
other than attractive. And often this
private friendship, when associated with
a proficiency in shooting. tennis, long
distance walking, fence jumping or some
other branch of essential and construc-
tive craftsmanship. has proved a precious
boon to the public.

the saddest Of the generstion-at least
in respect Of the barrooms in general and
the Gal in particular. HoKE will natu-
rally bend to this comparatively unim-
portant blast, and possibly to others OF
the kind. He knows a cheap ~expedient
when he sees one. But that he will

persuasion or through defiance, he will

Meanwhile HoKE fills us c~hockablock

the Cracker Idol, at once the rapture
and the inspiration of the hill billies' the
wool hats and the yappers generally.
These look TO- him for much that he can

HoKE is a frugal and farseeing man.
Like his mentor and apostle, the Hon.
WILLIAM j. BRYAN, he lays by against
a rainy day. He loves the fat comforts
of this sublunary world, a bullying

cult and zigzag path, and al he treads

anxiety. The spectacle of a worthy
person who has accumulated property
and intends to add to il trying to hold
the loyal devotion OF a crazy mob seems
entitled to our most alert attention.

A Civil Service Examination.

An esteemed correspondent informs us
that civil service examinations for special
agents and examiners in the Interstate
Commerce Commission are to DC held
oil August /, From circulars outlining
the scope Of the examination under the
heads OF General Education, Account
ing and Theses, he quotes, under the
last head. the following;
Discuss FUZZY the ways In which evasion OF this
act has been attempted. the various consequent
entries in the booNs aud other records and memo
randa OF carriers. and the examinations and tests
10 which such books. records and memoranda must

detect such attempts. Discuss also all methods

ton by examining and testing said books. records
and memoranda
Our correspondent is moved to make
these somewhat ingenious comments
upon these directions:
The Implication here is that the Government
confidently expects the law will be ignored or
svaded. The quoted paragraph appears TO mi 10
be something more than an lnfraction OF the rule
that a man is TO be presumed innocent until proved
guilty. IL Is a damaging reflection upon the hon
ssty OF every railroad. an invitation to railroad
employees imany OF whom will receive ~ TO oetray
their employers. but worse than all, II Is the sort OF
underhsnd attack upon railroads Gathered In this
instance by the Administration tnst destroys
the confidence Of the public and makes sng sane
consideration Of railroad problems Impossible. 10
this what the President is working for
II would be a waste Of time 10 argue
with a man so dead to the spirit Of the
time as TO believe that the sane consid-
GRAFTON of railroad problems is desirable.
Besides, there is an official standard Of
sanity, IA of most other things. Re-
fusing a discussion profitable to alienists
only. shall we not agree that it is edify-
ing and beautiful TO see harmony in all
parts Of the Administration, to hear all
OF them singing to n clear harp in
divers strains, 10 know that the official
and orthodox position is to be maintained
throughout. that the streamlets purl in

The Predicament OF Hoke,

A particularly humorous feature Of the
Southern Democratic situation ia illus.
trated by the present ~predicament Of the
Hon. HoKE SMITH. recently installed as
Governor OF Georgia. There is some
thing almost plaintive in the situation.
That is Il say it would be plsintive il il
were not so comical.
The Hon. HoKE SMITH is known by
those who are close 10 him as one of the
sanest. most alert, intellectual and canny
propositions ever evolved by the proc
esses of American politics. To imagine
that he really wishes to destroy the cor
porations, to restrict personal liberty. to
tax brains, energy and opulent achieve
ment is possible only TO those who know
nothing at all about him. Yet here we
have him, Governor Of Georgia, elected
on an issue Of incendiary hysteria, the
darling Of the wild eyed multitude. the
hope Of the sansculottes, expected to
knock the top of and put the bottom in
its place, to humble the successful, en-
rich the incompetent and moralize the
world by legislation. The stress and
fury of the campaign belong TO the his
torian. The scars of battle are forgotten.
The once crumpled and disfgured CLARK
HOWELL is nee more as chesty and as
beautiful as if nothing Homeric had ever
happened 10 him. HoKE's triumphal
procession has erased the tragic past and
opened a new score, and now the legion
aries who won the fight for him. having
washed away the stains Of conflict and
organized their expectations as regards
the dividend, are waiting for the call to
sack and pillage.
II is too soon to say that HoKE is an
object Of compassion. OF course every
body qualified TO form an intelligent
opinion understands that HoKE does not
want property erased, the social order
dislocated. the railroads paralyzed. the
frugal and industrious cheated OF their
wage or human liberty suppressed by
sumptuary Laws. Equally Of course the
humblest intelligence must realize that

4 Lost Issue.

Mr.. BRYAN. who declared three days
after his speech in the Mad ~ Square
Garden on the night Of Augu 30, 1905,
thar he had heard no protest by promi-
nent Democrats against his Government
ownership proposal Until know their
names, " he said, scouting the report that
prominent Democrats had gone on record
against il. Il do not think their protest
il very important"-has nov concluded
that il would be unwise to put a Govern
ment ownership plank in the Democratic
national platform. At various times he
has pronounced the railroad rate law a
failure. He now saws in the Commoner
that regulation cannot be sufficiently
tried within the next wear, and ices no
desire anywhere 10 make Government
ownership an issue in 1905. The issues
he predicts will be the trust question. the
tariff question and the railroad question.
But what, II may be asked, has become
Of the initiative and referendum, Mr..
BRYAN's latest fad, concerning which he
said on April IL Of this year.
II you DO not believe In the capacity Of the
people 10 govern themselves, which is what the
initiative aud referendum means. | Will drive you
out OF the Democratic party"
When is the driving out 10 begin?
Perhaps Mr.. BRYAN, whp has certainly
heard of opposition to the initiative and
referendum by p ointment Democrats il
he has had his ear to the ground, has con-
Guided that il cannot be sufficiently d.
cussed during the next year and that
there is no desire anywhere to make il
an issue in 1908.
