 Mandy curtsies three times between the door and the Mayors table, be- hind which the Mayor sits, rat-tatting the varnish from the side of his chair. Then, when she has come quite as closely to the table as She thinks proper, she curtsies again. And then but after all even if 1t is in real life, isn't 1t sort of play? So. why not7

 Mandy-De doctor sho can't allus cuo it.

MT. Mare, Er Jes' warner yer t 'elp me wid mer boy" is the usual way Mayor Teague Is approached by seek ere of executive clemency.
 Few exemplary folks know that tho Mayor can or does extend executive clemency, which is a long. large, reson- ant. reverberating, space-killing ex- pression for partial or absolute pardon or parole, which is itself merely an euphemism for "'elp me wid mer boy" The few exemplary who know 1t for get it--only those who are or have boys and need help with them remen- ber; they know, never forget, and never allow the Mayor to forget.
 Of course the Mayor is not girt about he does not stay executions of capital punishment; but there is seldom or never day goes by without an appeal for help. The appellant appears before the Mayor, tells her--the appellant Is generally a woman. a negro woman tale of woe about the boy that works 70 hard to support her and les match erly fell In wid he pleecemens and Is out to Mister Henderson'e"; the Mayor listens gravely, and as gravely makes pointed interrogatories. always eolored with . satiric shade of humor that Is not the less delicious because 1t is all together kind; tells his Private 6ecre- tary. Henry w. Parrish. Jr., to get record of the case from the Police De- pertinent; and makes his decision.
 Sometimes Mir Mayor gives absolute pardon, other times he diminishes the punishment under which liner boy is er-langershin'. and other times still he rubs his hands together very Sympa- thetically indeed and says he is afraid he had better not do anything at all
 It Is always pretty much the same story. The original affronts to the peace and dignity of the State Of Ala bama vary in criminal lustre as one star from another. of course; but the variance of the appeals is aptly com parable to the variance of blue-eyed pease. the which vegetables are of pro-

while TIE Hague conference Is keep

matter OF advocating the humane IN

and demand a more effective bullet.
For many years the tendency has been
to try TO limit the mortality OF wars.
Armaments favoring the small bullet
have declared that with such missile
an enemy can be temporarily disabled,
and that meets the military require

that the heavy bullet, which tears and

to aunihilate them, and the sooner It IS
accomplished the better for all con-
eerued, Arguments have been heard
In favor Of making war terrible in or
der to discourage its practice. The
deadly bullet would prove a means to
that end.
The war expert may argue with rea-

..Independent,, Cuba.

When the United States senate de-
eided to take up the quarrel Of Cuba
against Spain the formal declaration
was made that CUBA Is and Of right
ought to be free and independent"
We have found out that 1t was a big
contract to undertake that Cuba should
be forever protected In political In
dependence. We very soon took water
ON the proposition ourselves by In
slsting that Cuba acknowledge our SOW
ereignty In her national constitution.
II simply amounts 10 this-that we
are willing to have CUBA ire and In
The Coeur d'Alene press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1906-1907, 1907-11-04

dependent II she exercises her gifts in
a manner that meets our approval.
We certainly cannot approve Of po-
htical disturbances which thrive on as
sassinations and the destruction Of the
sacred rights Of property. Now, to the
Cuban these things appear to belong
to the prerogative of freedom. Free
dom to the Cubans means to Cubans
the license TO go their own pace. They
could not do that under annexation,
even II they came into the union as a
sovereign state, If the people of one
Of our states Were to act as the Gu
bans seem inclined to do their territory
would be overrun with national troops.
We as people live under a Declare
ton of Independence. but we do not
take that as license for disorder, and
It is difficult to see how we can stand
for the broadcast Interpretation OF indie
pendence in territory under our SOW
ereignty. Perhaps 1t is just as wen to
thrash Cuba into behaving and living
up to our own idea OF independence as
things stand now and not walt for an
nexatiOn to bring It under authority
which would not in reality be greater
than We now possess.

In the year 1895 Bryan made his

country. In this he was opposed by
shS associated banks Of New York, and
