OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

low logically from the premises. For
it is certainly not true, that because
some men-not all men-0f both pollti-
cal parties advocate unconstitutional
theories, those parties endorse those
theories so far that the majority in
either party should be unable to COM
bat them. Despite Mr.. Bryan's views
regarding Federal licenses for inter-
state corporations, and the government
ownership of railroads; and despite
Mr.. Roosevelt's views concerning con-
stitutional amendment by unconstitu-
tional methods. and the overthrow OF
local self-government by means of
masked battery of constructive powers,
hidden behind a court appointed by the
Executive. we venture to say that 4
country still cling to the principles of
Jefferson, Monroe and Jackson. There
is a vital distinction between some men
and all men. The Democratic party is
to-day, as it ever has been. in position
to combat anti-State rights PROPOSE
tions, whether emanating from Roose-
yelt, Bryan or any number of men Of
great prominence in either both POI
litical parties, for 1t has always stood
fast for the principle of home rule.
1.-THE fetish man no law can bind"
is an old saying, and quite true. But
the fetish men, the pseudo-hero wor-
shippers, who place demagogues above
sound principles, are in the minority
in both parties. The Democratic party
will, in its platform, undoubtedly re-
affirm its ancient and distinguishing
principles of State rights, home rule
and representative government, and
there is now every reason to believe
that it will have the support of ma
toritv OF the electorate Of the nation
in 1908.

The sincere friends of Secretary Taft
cannot but he panied to observe the
growing indications that his Presiden-
tial candidacy is merely blind. 1t is
obviously only part of political shell
game, intending to eliminate in the
denomination of President Roosevelt
Those who know the Secretary will
not doubt that he is an involuntary
participant in this effort to hoodwink
the American people. Circumstances
compel him to course which the open
and frank disposition of the man would
never otherwise lead him to follow.
How deeply this is wounding his self
respect only his intimates are likely to
learn, but no friend will doubt that the
false position in which he is placed Is
one of extreme discomfort
we have seen the ''thimbleriggers" of
the Republican party lift the shells
again and again to display Taft to the
gaze of a credulous public, but it ap-
pears the time has now come when the
lifted she'll must show Roosevelt where
Taft was supposed to be and the Amer
lean voter may as we'll accept the
Roosevelt candidacy as definitely de-
termined program
From this time on we can expect to
hear more and more clamorous protest
that no man may reject with decency
and proprfety the unanimous nomina-
ton of his party for the Presidential
office. So, too, there will be much talk
about Mr.. Roosevelt having served only
one elective terH,. even though the
distinction suggested by the word "elec-
tive" involves no difference of sub
stance. President Roosevelt will be
seeking third term and his friends
and supporters need not hope that the
people will fail TO recognize that fact.

COINS AND FACES ON THEM.

Features of Rulers Abroad, Here
the Emblem of Liberty.
Coins of most Of the nations bear
upon them the faces of their rulers. In
the United States each coin has an
emblem of Liberty.
The first coins struck after the for
nation of the federal union bore the
face of George Washington. Gen.
Washington disapproved OF the custom
and it was dropped. IL has never been
revived.
Portraits of prominent Americans
appear upon postage stamps, internal
revenue stamps and paper money, but
never on coins. And 1t has been the
custom to use no portraits of living
men even on the currency and the
stamps.
In England as soon as King Edward
succeeded Queen Victoria the queens
face gave way to that of Edward on
all the coins and stamps in the British
empire. The accession of a new ruler
in most monarchies means an Instant
change in the design of the coins.
But there is an exception to the rule
of no portraits on American coins. The
emblem of Liberty on the 1-cept coin
is the goddess in an American Indian
headdress, but the face shows no char
acteristics of the North American abo-
rigine.
1t is the face of little girl, Sarah
Longacre Keen, upon whose head was
placed the feathered ornament of a
Sioux Indian. Her father was an en-
graver and he placed his daughters
head on the coin.
Sarah Longacre Keen died in Phil
adelphia not long after having served
thirty-five years as the secretary of her
city's branch OF the Methodist Women's
Foreign Missionary Society.

HIram's Lucky Auction


With a whoop the Caldwell child
rem rushed out to greet their father,
and Mrs. Caldwell hurried after them
to head off any raids on the green bob
sled.
Get everything, father?" she called,
as she peered out of the storm door.
Got a plenty" he called back, Win
an attempt to heartiness that caused
her to glance quickly at the sled she
had heard those half apologize tones
before and knew what they meant
Back in the sled, covered by blan-
ket, was a square package. 1t was not
the right shape for cracker boxes nor
tall enough for barrel.
She drove the children into the house
and shrouding her head in an old wool
fascinator she followed out to the barn,
where Hiram was already unhltching
the tired team.
She made straight for the sled and
threw aside the blanket, disclosing
small soda fountain.
What did you pay for this? she
demanded, indicating the square OF
stained marble with its furnished
spigots.
"Slx dollars and thirty cents" he
said, the red surglng into his FACE.
'@The man said the metal is worth
more'n that"
Then you didn't have anything left
for the presents?" she asked, reproach-
fully. "Oh, Hiram! And after you
promised"
But look here" he argued There's
bound to be another store set up. May
be they'll want n fountain and can
sell this at big profit"
There was no use in arguing. Ever
since they had been married she had
tried to persuade Hiram to stop buy

Zoe Trust nrealx. striIse.

The striking drivers having failed to
bring the American Ice Trust to the de-
sired terms, namely, restoration of the
higher wages paid to ice wagon drivers
last year, with new men rapidly taking
their places, and the general public using
private wagons or trucks to go after ur-
gent supplies of ice, the striking drivers
of New York City gave in and returned
to work, largely because they were short
of funds and could not hold out any long
er. President Oler of the ice trust said
the strike was brought on by the leaders
of the union, and was not popular with
the rank and file. One of the objects
was to secure recognition of the unions
agents.

The new law regulating the size Of the
wholesale and retail receptacles used in
handling milk between producer and con-
sumner went into effect in Pennsylvania,
with drastic penalties for violations.
Prior to this the Philadelphia Milk Ex-
change dealers had used '40-quart can"
which really neld 461a quarts, in buying
from the farmers, and a quart bottle"
. ounces short of the actual quart, in
dispensing milk to the public. Glass fac
tories and can makers have been doing
big business in stocking the dealers with

sion with him, as it had been with
his father before him.
He had never before made quite so
ridiculous a purchase as soda foun-
tain, but be never acquired anything
worth while. He bought cheap FOR the
love of buying. things 50 old or useless
that no one else would bid.
Were it not for the little shop that
Mrs. Caldwell kept in the front room
for the benefit of the neighbors, the
mortgage would have been foreclosed
years ago. AS 1t was, she kept up the
interest with the meagre profits OF the
little store aud the egg and butter
money.
This and some of the grocery money
had gone into this ugly, useless foun-
tain. In the fascinatlons for the sole

To increase the Nng capacity is the
first step In the reduction OF flesh, says
Outing. For this purpose running is,

Hyde participates fully In the free and
easy life of the Latin quarter. At the
last artists ball, Hyde made big hit
impersonating an Arabian gypsy.
Recently Hyde has shown a tendency
to re-enter aristocratic French society,
and among the fashionables of Paris
his princely wine cellar is exciting Won
der and admiration.
Richard A. McCurdy's existence In
Paris has been quite the opposite of
Hyde's, though it is well intended to
blot from the memory of the former
Mutual president the disageeable ex.
periences of a year and half ago.
McCurdy's life in Paris has amounted
almost to monastic retirement. He is
surrounded by an exclusive circle of
personal friends, and he is devoting
himself to simple diversions which car
ry with them no distasteful memories.
He Is never seen in the gay centers Of
Paris, and he is entirely unknown In
society. He reads no newspapers.
When an effort was made to interview
him he sent word that he would feel
keenly any further notoriety in connec-
ton with the insurance scandal. AT
this time it is learned from a personal
friend of McCurdy's that, while he is
attempting in every possible way to
eradicate memories of the scandal
which enmeshed him, he finds it diff
cult to have any complete comfort in
his life.

Saying What You Believe.

I have never regarded my opinions as having
any special weight in the community. Indeed,
have acquired the freedom Of speech which char
acterizes me through a knowledge that people
are not going to pay any attention to what say.
This began In childhood, when soon learned
that my elders were obliged to apologize for me
to the neighbors upon the broad groultds that no
holy could be held responsible for my remarks
because there was never any telling what was
going to say. 1 never did quite ics-1l to avoid
expressing sentiments until somebody else had
expressed them and found they were safe.
l always did, from earliest childhood. when
sat listening the safe and sane conversation OF
the visiting neighbors who were discussing plati-
tudes IN their company tone, get dreadfully tired
Of tried and true sentiment and break out with
some rnufinous idea or disturbing question that
fell like a bombshell In the camp of the ultra
respectable Christian family of which was an
unworthy member.
