Lest We FOEget.

Trenton True American.
 Lest we forget. in ehe midst of this deluge of talk, that the Chicago plat form of 1896 ignored that doctrine on which MT. Cleveland won two victories tariff for revenue only:
 MT. Bryan wanted votes in 1896. Ger tain Republicans in the West wanted free silver. but they would not support the historic Democratic polity cohcern- ing the tariff. so the Chicago platform omitted "only" from its tariff for rev enue" declaration, and the silver Re publicans supported MT. Bryan. o..
 It was to offset the influence of a Democratic tariff law on these same sil- yer Republicans that Mp Bryan declar- ed in his "cross of gold" speech: If protection has slain its thousands, the gold standard has slain its tens of thousands
 If it were treachery for a Democrat in 1898 to refuse to join the free sil yer forces. how much less treacherous was 1t for delegates to Democratic convention to barter a Fundamental Democratic principle for mess of Re- publican silver votes7

Pygmies of the Past.


 George Washington could no more fill the position of President today than-than that of the poet laureate of England" a clergymman Is quoted as telling his congregation. Neither could President Lincoln. They were equal to the day in which they lived. but conditions have become harder and harder" No doubt. the establishment of a new nation, or the conduct of gigantic Civil War. is not comparable to trust busting, or to the assault on San Juan Hill. Yet 1t would have been kinder to people rather fond of their moth eaten heroes to have made com parisons with some other historic per- sonages. There are Julius Caesar. for instance Alfred the Great, Lorenzo the Magnificent. Gustavus Adolphus, Oli- yer Cromwell, Frederick Barbarossa and Charles Martel We will wager that not one of them, If dropped into the Presidential chair today, would even know how to apportioni the Fed eral jobs in South Dakota. But it is better that the truth should be held back about Washington and Lincoln.

Wearing the Heart Away.
Boston Globe.


 The statisticians say that in certain large cities the increase of heart dis eases with fatal termination is alarm ing New York and Chicago are the two most disquieting examples of American cities in which men are wearing their hearts away in overwork combined with overlooking. There was an increase of between 10 and II per cent in the number of deaths from heart diseases in Chicago for 1907 over the number for last year New York s mortuary figures also show a startling increase in the number of deaths from heart diseases.
 This condition has not yet reached Boston, probably on account of the simpler life that here prevails. Yet Boston has shown intenser feeling than almost any other community on ques- tions involving the rights of man. and has not been faint hearted. It Is evil dently not emotion and activity in the cause of others but the grind of self absorption that wears mems hearts away.

Al no time of the year is the sky moro brilliant with stars than during the early evening hours of this month. Most striking of all is the magnificent Orion with the two brilliant Dog stars near and the beautiful group Gemini above. while surrounding these and seeming to form background for their display a multitude of fainter suns covers the whole face of the heavens. The little group of the Pleiades is now exactly overhead. In the Northeast, Leo, or the Sickle. with the Regal star Regulus Is we'll above the ground, while near by the Great Dipper is seen slowly creeping out from below the pole to begin its climb to the highest part of the heavens a position which 1t will rot reach. until next April Surely no one who looks at the sky at all can fail to be struck by its unusual bril- Iiance. And one familiar with the brighter stars has now an excellent opportunity to trace out many no less beautiful through far fainter little known groups. One of the most inter- esting of these is the faint Lepus. or the Hare the timid little creature who does not enter the sky until its enemy, the Eagle. has left it.

ROOSEVELT SENATOR.
If Taft is Successful for Presidency,
 the President Will Seek Oflce..
Washington Special.

 the President Will Seek OfRce..
 Washington Special.
 President Roosevelt will be candi- date for United States Senator in the event of Mir. Taft's election to the Presidency.
 This can be accepted as authorita- tive and final. There was publica- tion at the time of the return from his Mississippi River trip andS Louisiana bear hunt. indicating that the President had abandoned his desire and intention in that connection. The publication was based upon a conversation Which the President had in his private car en route from Nashville to this city,
 It is now explained that. although no explanation. refutation or suggestion time, the President was misunderstood and his position not correctly reflected. What the President said then and what he says now is that he will not be event of the election of a man other than MT. Taft. who Is of his party, unless that man should prove to be in resolved to carry them forward.
 The President does not wish to be elected to the Senate if reaction he he was. @ S under TA those seS conditions. he ne would possibly be placed in the posi- tion where he would feel called upon. as duty to his constituents. to criti- else his successor freely. If a man of opposite party was selected he would feel no impropriety in giving voice to such criticism. If MT. Taft Is elected, the President feels free to say that he would be glad to be in the Senate, where he could and would assist in car rying forward the policies which he believes MT. Taft would stand for.
 There are some endorsements in the way of successfully carrying out the wishes of the President to come to the Senate. The term of Senator Tom Platt of New York State, expires simultaneously with the expiration of the term of MT. Roosevelt as Presi- dent. To elect him to the place would mean that the propaganda for his cleo tion by the Legislature will have to be carried on while the President is still in the White House. This will be most difficult and embarrassing.
 Some time ago the President said to some of his confdants that he felt he would like to come to the Senate. but he doubted if he could ever be elected by any State Legislature. He said that his only chanc to be elected would be by a popular vote of the people.
 No special significance was attached to his statement at that time. Since then there have been some radical changes in the political situation in New York State. It is to be noted that some of the Republican leaders in and out of the State Legislature, have been working In harmony with the national administration. although the same can not be sad of their relations with the State administration.
