Strange Sight.

Nay, let them be unmanly, yet are

Thus does Vanity Fair enforce her

Pedestrians on Alpha avenue and
Fourth street in the neighborhood of

new style, when TWO we'll known
young ladies of the city shamefully
sauntered forth along the walk fully
rugged up in male attire.
The two attracted considerable at
tention before they returned indoors
with their brothers clothes.

After several months of idle talk
and threats to place obstacles in the
way of success of the State Fair asso-
citation of this city, Fargo has at last
thrown of the Sleeps clothing" and
announced it's intentions of "wolfing"
the fair proposition, and, as announced

damus proceedings will be instituted
today in the courts.
1t has been known by the officers
of the state fair in this city for some
time that Fargo was making frantic
though underhand, efforts to secure
the fair for that city-even to the ex-
tent of making colored representa-
lions to Attorney General McCue with
the avowed intentions of getting the
state department to take legal steps.
Fargo also made the same misrepre-
sensations to Governor Burke. who in
reply to letter asking that the $780,
900 appropriation be forwarded to the
state fair board in Grand Forks, stat
ed that he thought the best way to
get the money would be to bring suit
against the state.
The methods of the Fargo associ-
alton are singularly characteristic of
that city. Fargo bases her claims on

Solicitor StegalI's Levity

Levity is ordinarily considered re- lief to the mind, a relaxation from toll, an innocent diversion in the humdrum course of life. But it appears that So- licitor Stegall indulged in it at the "wrongp time. He fired it at an over sensitive deputy marshal. As a tease Solicitor Stegall plainly was a success on the spot, for the subject of his sport at once proceeded to get even by haling his tormenter before the court.
 No harm seems to have been done, for MT. Stegall duly accepted serVice' and the levity in question did not de- lay him more than five miutes. Nor does it seem to have been ' torture while it lasted. The occasion was after all brief and even polite. Deputy Mar shal William Pullum says so, and The Age-Herald does not propose to ques- tion in this crisis the word of any deputy marshal whatsoever.
 The moral of this Is, don't indulge in levity-don't be tease--until this cruel crisis is ended. It isn't safe. It is not pleasant to be haled before the court charged with an offense that is tagged "$500 fine and six months i'm prisonment or both," Be sober and serious, and above all else treat dep uty marshals with profound reverence and politeness. To tease one of them is to wake up the Russian side of Uncle Sam, and this maybe is what should be avoided, Ask Solicitor Ste- gall of the Third circuit. He knows what it is to indulge in levity in par lous times.

From the Montgomery Advertiser
 The Advertiser publishes letter from Mt. Walker Percy of Birmingham in reply to criticisms of a recent publica- tion by him and u large number of other citizens of Jefferson county against the nomination of MT. Bryan as the demo- cratic candidate for President.
 While giving publicity to Mir. Percy s letter, we hold to views expressed some days ago, that everything points to Mir Bryan's nomination. The most impor- tsnt thing now to be considered is a plat form on which the party can go before the country and present all unbroken front. Such declaration of principles. we believe. can be adopted by the na- tional convention as will give the party more hope for success in 1908 than in many years past. MT. Bryan has shown his willingness to drop issues, notably IS to |, and government ownership of railroads. He is stanch advocate of the lowest tariff taxation consistent with the needs of the government, and no man can better present the democratic argument on that question than he can. It can not be doubted that he has more democratic support in every quarter Of tn, union than any one whose name has been sngsested for the nomination.

Abuse of IniunctionS

The present ominum gatherum plan of writing presidential messages in- cludes, of course, a page or two on the ever-present Johnny-on-the-spot injunc- tion. The President is cautious, but he does express the belief that many injunctions are issued that are unwar- ranted. "The question" he says, "is becoming more and more one of prime importance, and unless the courts will themselves deal with it in effective manner, it is certain ultimately to de- mand some form of legislative action" He refers not only to "the abuse of injunctions" in labor cases, but also in cases in which state laws are con cerned. He may have had his eye on Alabama.
 The President goes on to define the abuse of the injunction. It consists, he says, in the acts "of individual judges in needlessly anticipating q final decision, or in the tyrannical use of what is nominally temporary in- junction to accomplish what is in fact a permanent decision" But adds the President, q refrain from discussion of the question, as I am informed that it will soon receive the consideration of the supreme court" The magnates of the republican party, it is plain, will never permit their highly-prized in- >iunction scheme to be legislated out, and the hope of the country rests therefore in decisions of the supreme court The hope may be marrow but 1t Is all the people have at present.

Iudae Newman on Rate Laws

The Central Railroad of Georgia went before Judge William T. Newman of the United States circuit court to get an injunction against the opera tion of the new Georgia passenger rates. It got instead a blow in the neck, for Judge Newman held in un- mistakable terms that a governor and an attorney general of a state cannot be enjoined. The governor of state is not subject to injunction, and he cannot be made a party to a suit by the railroads.
 And when Judge Newman came to the subject of confiscation he took com mon law view of it. Whether rates are confiscatory or otherwise can be deter mined by experience only. The rates must go into operation sufficiently long to demonstrate their working ef- fleets. and he therefore told the rail IOdu IDdI IL InuSl ob phe 1hO i"SS' -t question into effect and keep them ef- fective six months before it could hope to get an injunction on confiscatory grounds. Rates, in other words, must prove themselves confscatory before their injustice cdn be proved or dis proved At least six months must eapse, said Judge Newman, before valuable data on this subject can be furnished.
 This decision is considered in Geor- gia the end of liti igation in that state

JoHNsToN,s ASPIRATIONS

From the Baltimore Sun.
 United States Senator Joseph F. John ston of Alabama WAS in the city again yesterday as the guest of his brother, MT Bartlett S. Johnston.
 The Senator said he was in need of shoes and stepped into Baltimore street shoe store to see if he could be fitted He was waited on politely and finally got what he wanted. In requesting his old shoes to be delivered, he incidentally gave his name, and asked that they be sent in the care of his brother.
 When the proprietor of the store found out who his customer was he hastened forward and said he was glad to have the Senator for a customer and hoped he would continue to deal with him while In the east.
 T always furnished Senator German his shoes,'' said the proprietor, thinking by this means perhaps to impress Senator Johnston with the merit of his goods.
 You did," exclaimed the Senator quickly. "rhen take this pair off as soon as you can and give me back my old ones," and he seated himself in chair and raised his foot.
 The proprietor looked at him blankly and commenced to stutter feebly as to the cause of this sudden change of heart
 Take them off, said Senator Johnston. Take them off at once, Senator Cor man Is dead. am going around to lind out where Senator Whyte buys his shoes. '

The Presidents Message.

Every patriotic American citizen, re- gardless of political party should read President Roosevelt's message to Con- gress," said a citizen who had already done so. Tt is as interesting as any novel q person could read, and gives rise to grand train of thought.
 @The trouble about most American peo- pie is that they make their concerns purely local. They do not grasp the great importance or sgnification of the words, United States but leisurely reading of such document as this message will open up their minds to the variety of in terests which have to be reconeiled and the magnitude of the task which the gov ernment of such a nation entails.
 T was especially pleased to read about the progress which is being made in the building of the Panama canal, especially as there were and in fact, are still, peo- pie who have been ever ready to hail with delight any mishap that might oc- cur on that undertaking. If the rate of progress now going on is kept Up there is no doubt but that 1915 will see it's com pletion.
 "Particularly interesting were the Pres ident's suggestions on the education of the agricultural classes. Everyone knows that the drift of population today Is to- ward the cities and the cause of this Is largely the result of the neglect which has been shown to the farmer and his in- terests. The farmer will read with pleas ure the recommendation made for the betterment of his eondition.
 Tn the matter of arbitration for the settlement of labor troubles it would bo well for both employers and employees to read his remarks carefully. Until Con gress authorizes the interference of out side and independent influences in pro- noting the settlement of strikes, neith,r the President nor anyone else can at- 1 tempt to use their good offices, and Con gross will not pass laws for that purpose until the people demand it.
 '"rhe message is plain talk. simple to understand, and will amply repay tho time taken to read it.''

A TRUE WOMAN.
y William Wordsworth.

By William Wordsworth. She was a. phantom of delight When first she gleamed upon my sight: A lovely apparition, sent To be moments ornament; Her eyes as stars of twilight faif, Like twilight's, too. her dusky halr; But all things else about her drawn From May-time and the cheerful dawn; A dancing shape, an image gay, To haunt, to startle, and waylay. I Saw her upon nearer view, A spirit, yet q. woman, tool Her household motions light and fires, And steps of virgin liberty; A countenance in which did meet Sweet records, promises as sweet; A creature not too bright or good For human natures daily food, Tor transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise blame. love, kisses, tears and
 smiles.
 And now I see with eye serene The very pulse of the machine; A being breathing thoughtful breath, A traveller betwixt life and death; Tho reason firm, the temperate will. Endurance. foresight, strength, and skills A perfect woman, nobly planned, And yet q spirit still, and bright With some thing of an angel light

national parties, an expenditure ample to meet the necessity for thorough organization and machinery, which re- nuires large expenditure of money" This is excellent Up to the point quoted. but after providing for the meeting of all proper and legitimate expenses, the President goes on to sug- gest that private supplementary sub scrlptions should be limited to a fixed amount But after the government has met all proper and legitimate expenses shall committee be authorized fo collect in addition sums for improper and illegitimate expenses? This loop hole is much too large. It would even admit of a second bargain with D. H. Hartman for $250,000 three days be- fore the next presidential election.
 Of one thing all can be certain-the republican party can not be trusted 10 deal in a drastic manner with slush funds to be used to purchase an elec- tion. The republicans cannot afford to be honest in this matter. They can afford to deal in "hot air" and that IS all that will come from that party on this all-important subject. Sincere and earnest as the President ordinarily is, he lacks force and comprehensiveness when he discusses campaign funds.

Publicity of Campaign Funds

"It is well to provide" says the Pres ident, flor the publication of both con tributions and expenditures" This is . mild expression of the doctrine of publicity in campaign funds, and it also has a loophole in it. The time of pub. lication is the essential feature of the policy, and the President leaves ample room for the politicians to plan publi cation after a campaign Is ended, when, in truth, they should be pub lished daily during a campaign. Every dollar of receipts should be published, together with the name of the donor. Every dollar of expenditures should be stated, and for what the expendi. ture was made.
 The President mildly indorses plan by which Congress would appropriate money to meet the proper and legiti- mate expenses of each of the great

The Macbeth Music.

"The incidental music played at the Macbeth performance at the Jefferson theatre was an improvement over the music heard in days gone by,' said an old citizen last night.
 At MT. Mantells request Andrew Byrne, orchestral director of the com pany, wrote the overture and all the in- cidental music. It is at once mournful and weird and one of the melodies, fre- quently recurring on the trumpet, Is es- pecially beautiful
 Tt had been many years since l saw the play of Macbeth I enjoyed Man tells acting, and also the manner in which he read his lines. A few of his readings were slightly different from the traditional standard accepted by the old stock actors and different from the read ings of some of the famous stars of 90 or 70 years ago. But we lost nothing by Mantell's interpretation Indeed, his original touches were scholarly and al- together excellent, heightening as they did the eloquence of the speeches.
 But coming back to the Macbeth music, one of the oldest superstitions and next to the bad luck accompanying the yellow clarinet, perhaps the most generally observed among members of the theatrical profession, was the notion that the person who hummed or whistled an air from the orchestra score outside of the performance was sure to meet with sad end. do not know whether the same superstition obtains today but likely it does. Intellectual tragedans Of the last generation, while not supersti- tious. as a rule, would not have dared to defy the tradition with regard to the incidental music in Macbeth.
