What Defeated Adams.

Another impressive truth emphasized
by our author which many of us pro-
fess to know. but which most of US
need reminding Of, is how little things
inevitably decide the policies Of the
men who control the destinies Of the
nation. AS the falling of stone may
change the course of running brook,
Insignificant things may change the
course of our lives, and they do con
tinually change them. DR.. Hale tells
us that one of the great causes of John
Quincy Adams defeat for the presi-
dency was the fact that he had intro
duced billiard table into the White
House. Many things less than a bill
Hard table have decided the careers Of
the worlds greatest men.
Study the life of Abraham lincoln
How many little things decided that
career! Take him, for instance, when
he was a'lttle boy of eleven years Of
age, falling into deep pool in tho
creek and nearly drowning and only
boyhood compa nion not as large as
himself, who extended a stick to him
and pulled him out when he was about
to so down for the last time or take
that other most remarkable incident Of
Lincoln's life, when. after his defeat
for reelection to congress in lS40. he
turned his face homeward without n
dollar in his~pocket. Ills law practice

the statute conferred upon the GOV
ernor the power to remove at his dis
cretion, under such procedure as he
chose to adopt for his own satisfac-
ton. 1t is not contended that the
governor had no power of removal in

the manner in which he exercised his

One of the promised sensations of
the current theatrical .season is said
to be the mammoth scenic production
of the comedy drama entitled. 1.-The
Way of the Transgressor," with the
wonderful acting Landseer dogs comes

ment commencing Sunday matinee.
The management in endeayoring to
give the theatre going public some
thing new and novel and at the same
time an evenings real entertainment,
seem to have accomplished this object

for according to reports this play with
its wealth of scenery and effects is
enjoying uniformly large audiences
wherever it has been presented.

What looks like the first practical
step in the reduction of the worlds
ornaments has been made in the
shape of suggestion from President
Roosevelt that will be carried by the
American delegates to the second
Hague Conference. 1t is a very short
step to be sure, but one that for that
very reason will stand some chance
of being taken. 1t is to limit in fu-
ture the size of any warships added
to the nayies of the world. The race
in the number of warships has been
supplemented by race in size. The
British Dreadnought and her sister
ships OF 10000 tons are the latest If
not the last word in monster lighting
machines ailoat. True this govern
ment has met the step of Great Brit
ain by authorizing the construction
of two ships that will be the equals,
if not the superiors of the Dread
nought class. But President Roose-
velt realizes the futility of this end
less competition, and if his sugges,
tion is carried out, there will be nc
more 10000 ton war-ships built by
any power, and there will thus be an
end put to this bankrupting program
If this rational moye Is made, and
there seems little doubt that it will
be, then there may be chance ol
getting a reduction in the size of the
war budgets under which the people
of Europe are groaning and which
even this country has commenced tc
feel. If the President can initiate
this sensible policy, the people of the
whole world will have cause to honor
his name for all time.

Seeing that the country as whole
is not ready to accept his advanced
views on government ownership of
railroads, Mr.. Bryan has come round
exactly to the views of President
Roosevelt as to government control.
Mr.. Bryan has made this statement
in an authorized interview, evidently
in the hope that it will increase his
personal prestige and o5literate the
last remnant of difference between
himself and the leader of the Repub-
lican party. There fingers back of

Those who picture President Roose-
velt as wreck1r of railroad values
and as intent upon destroying the
business interests of the country to
satisfy personal spite against certain
indiyiduals, are doing an injustice to
him and positiye injury to Investors.
No one need be afraid of what the
president intends to do except those
who have done something which they
ought not to have done. He will de-
fend the rights OF capital and the in
terests of investors with the same de-
termination and courage that he has
displayed in attacking abuses and
Furnishing wrong. The great trouble
with Wall street is that it will not
take the pains to read what the pres
ident has said or to understand his
policy. In due time and in the
proper place they will no doubt be

DEEP SEA FISHES.
There Being Nothing Else to Eat,
They Live Upon Ench Other.

There Being Nothing Else to Eat,
They Live Upon Ench Other.
"All the deep sea fishes are enormous
eaters,' says naturalist. "rhere be-
ing nothing to eat but the life about
them, they-live upon each other. Every
facility for killing and devouring
is provided-luminescence to dazzle,
swiftness and strength to overtake
and overpower, knife blade teeth for
tearing, abnormally large jaws for
crushing. Whatever the prey or how
ever large it may be, there Is little
trouble in swallowing it. The mouth
yawns like cavern, and the stomach
distends to hold body even larger
than the swallower. The appetite in
fishes seems never wanting and COM
plete digestion with some of them is
only a matter of half an hour" For
this reason slaughter goes on unend-
ingly. Usually 1t Is produced only by
hunger, but some monsters, like the
pure love of killing
OF the eternal warfare that goes on
beneath the surface of the waves the
same writer remarks: 'They follow the
prey like packs of wolves, and in turn
are followed, band succeeding band.
increasing in size as they decrease in
numbers. The herrings eat the smaller
fish, even their own young; they are
harried by the bluefishes until a trail
of blood stains the water, while fol-
lowing the bluefishes come the insati-
ate porpoises. Nothing saves the
weaker ones but breed. Many thou
sands of eggs are spawned that a
dozen or more may be Matched and
brought to maturity. Billions are lost;
yes. but millions survive.
"The herrings move on the sea in
uncountable numbers-in banks that
are miles in length and width. In wind
rows so vast that they perhaps keep
passing one given point In unbroken
succession for months at time. Just
so with the menhaden. A catch In q
purse net of 100000 Is not infrequent.
Such numbers are sufficient to with
stand all the ravages of the natural
enemy. The bass, the haddock and
the pollock may kill to their hearts
content, and still the menhaden will
bold their own."-Chicago News.

The German empire is very anx-
ious that President Roosevelt accept
a third term. This certainly does
look like real friendship on the part
of the Fatherland when continuance
of President Roosevelt's administra-
ton could mean nothing more or less
than increased prestige for America
among the nations of the world,
Then the idea of German American
alliance, If such could be brought
about, looks very good to the Ger
mans.

DETAILS
OF RECENT
PANIC
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, March 2S.-The financial
expert of the Daily Mail has written
a story of the recent financial crisis,
which, he says, is accepted in reliable
quarters.
"One of our big banks" the writer
says, had lent a huge sum to one of
the American magnates, the security
being mainly Union Pacifics. The bank
decided this loan should be repaid but
on meeting with refusal it resolved to
liquidate the securities by selling the
Union Pacific shares in it's possession.
An attempt to get rid of them in large
blocks on the other side of the Atlantic
by private negotiations failed, and con-
sequently a very large quantity was
put upon the market. Those knowing
these circumstances formed the natural
conclusion that trouble would ensue
and sold other securities.
"The resultant fall in prices and the
all-around collapse caused many diff
ficulties among stock exchange firms,
including one of the highest standing
In this case, however, the account was
taken over by a big Anglo-American
house with the assistance of all that
is most powerful in finance"
