Gov. Hughes is appealing to the people by
accepting Invitations to address them and
improving the occasions to explain his
policies. His receptions are hearty. and
apparently, the people are with him. 1t is a
new wrinkle in New York affairs. Politics
has for many years there been matter OF

Gov. Blackburn and bill"
sIerram from Lexington. Ky.

A telegram from Lexington, KY, says:
William ]. Bryan commonly known
as Bill was brought here from Versailles
TODAY and shipped to Washington. his ulti-
,rafe destination being the Panama canal
zone. BIZ is Senator Blackburns saddle
horse.
Now. If the Panamans will give attention,
here is a valuable lesson for them in poll
ties They are fiery lot, who carry per-
sonaIties into party divisions. and cannot
regard the man on the opposite side of the
fence except In the light of thorough dis
trust and hatred. Opposite in politics, OPP
posite in all things. Your Latin American,
from the Mexican line down, is an intense
Individual and takes his politics with an
earncstucss that amounts almost TO deVo-
ton.
But see the American plan. Let them
behold how the Anglo-Saxons of opposite
political faiths can dwell together in the
bonds of peace and the rkableness of life.
Gov Blackburn-he will soon be wearing
mat title in the canal zone-has always
been a democrat, and in the campaign of
1904 was one of the Presidents most ag-
gressive assailants. He probably gave as
many reasons as any speaker on that side
and all in his d-headed vocabulary-why
Nj Roosevelt should not be elected But
Mr. Roosevelt was elected. and by a turn
of fortune it was Mr.. Blackburn who, a
little later. lost out. Still, when Mr.. Roose-
veil wanted a civilian for the canal COM
mission he sought his political enemy, and
MI Blackburn, nothing loath, accepted the
job.
Nav. more The governor, accustomed to
taking his exercise at home on horseback,
decided to take a Kentucky mount with
him. and selected from his stable the steed
bearing the name of William j. Bryan Thus
the Panamans will see in authority In the
canal zone an American governor or the
opposite political faith to that of the Presi-
dent who has appointed him, and backing
a horse named for the republican party
most eloquent assailant. VIII those Latin
Americans ever comprehend the audacity or

Mr.. Carnegie's Peace Party.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie gave big party in
New York Friday night. 1t was novelty
in the way of social gatherings, for it was
attended both by men of great wealth and
by men of no wealth at all. Merchants
manufacturers. financiers and philanthro-
psts rubbed elbows with bricklayers, paint
ers. butchers. upholsterers, carpenters
plumbers, and, in fact. artisans of most0f
the trades. There were more sack suits
in evidence than evening clothes The host
had accomplished HIS object, which was to
bring together a fully representative as
semblage, standing for all phases of the
Industrial situation. 1t was he said. a
peace party. designed to make better ac-
quainted the men who work with their
hands. and those who work with their
brains. the men who supply the capital and
those who furnish the skill and muscle.
There were speeches by men from both
sides, and all were pitched in the key of
harmony. The occasion was productive OF
an admirable exchange of views which In
dictated that when reason rules and men
are freed from passion and prejudice there
is. after all, nothing incompatible between
the two sides of the great industrial equa-
ton.
August Belmont, opening the feast of rea-
son. which was the chief end of the party,
declared that such gatherings were valu-
able in that they permitted the men who
are responsible for the Industrial peace of
the country to take thought against the
reaction from prosperity. which he fears.
is coming This note of warning was the
only EARRING sound on the occasion. Mr..
Belmont's words were vague and general.
He said
II do not desire to be either a prophet
or an alarmist, nor will discuss the causes
which appear to lead to the beginning Of
change, but 1t is unquestioned that we
should prepare ourselves through just such
gatherings as this to understand and solve
the problems with which we are at any
time likely to be Confronted
IT, by taking thought of the morrow and
checking radicalism at both ends of the
line this reaction can be averted 1t Is sure
ly to the interest Of the workingmen and
the capitalists to get together and labor.
To date the only menacing moves have
been made by the financiers themselves.
Their recent display Of activity in Wall
street has been of character to upset the
calculations of people. and to cause re.
vision of views. The western trainmen
have contributed to the cause Of peace by
conserving to waive certain demands, while
their employers have met them half way
with wage increases. That adjustment may
be classed with the peace measures in the
interest of which Mr. Carnegie gave his
party.

Before Adam" from a story written and
published ten years ago by Stanley Water
loo under the title THE Story of Alb" In
this case, again. the likeness between the
two works is said to be highly significant
at least Of sympathetic and appreciatiye
reading of the earlier work by the author
of the later. This new count In the in
dictment is too recently written to have
ELECTED any response from the ubiquitous
London. whose plea to 1t Is awaited with
eagerness by the literary colony Of Chi
cago.
1t may be that Mr.. London has merely
retentive memory for broad impressions,
with occasional flashes of subconscious imi-
tation. Possibly he is entirely innocent of
guile greed. But 1t must be said that
a writer who produces as rapidly as he
does is under obligations that may put
high premium upon the frequent consulta-
ton of reference works. Now. who Is to
draw the line between the encyclopedias
and the work of fiction in the matter of
research? Who can definitely say when an
author is studying and when he is bor-
rowing?
The question at issue Is not altogether
easy of answer. STILL it is undeniably UNI
wise for even a constituencies filcher OF
other mems thoughts to dip too frequently
or too deeply. OF course, the hoi polloi of
the reading public are not keen In the mat
ter of parallels. AS far as the folks who
contribute their dollars to the receipts
earned by the six best sellers are con-
cerned. there is little danger of discovery.
Nevertheless. there comes time when lit
erary highwaymanry becomes unpopular
even with the masses, and publishers are
apt to feel less friendly to the author who
has been accused more than once of care
lessness in his use of recollections.

Tragic Teasing.

A young woman drowned herself near
Wilmington, Dell, the other day because
she could not endure the playful taunts
of her associates about trivial personal
matter. She had begged them to stop. but
they persisted. She then threatened to end
her life If the persecution continued. and
still they leased her. Then she carried
her threat into execution. and now the
young people who engaged in their pastime
of annoy ance are overwhelmed with re-
greet.
This tragedy carries an impressive les
son, applicable to great numbers Of peo-
pie who do not realize the sensitiveness
Of others OF all subtle cruelties none Is
more abominable than the persistent ref
erence to subject that is painful to an
other. Yet this form of torment is in
dulged in constantly. Parents tease their
children about things that may seem
triding to them. but are serious and i'm
portant to the little folks. They cause
great suffering OF mind by thus necessarily
:'poking fun" at the youngsters whom they
are supposed to cherish and guard from
pain. The expression Is often heard: "Oh,
it is good for her. She is too sensitive.
She will have to get used to being criti-
cfsed and teased while she is young" Yet
the child more keenly susceptible to men,
tai torture than before. 1t may not be
doubted that many childs nature Is
warped by injudicious POPULARITY the
part Of its elders.
Adults tease each other In manner to
cause i'll feeling and often to lead to Sc
rious results. Many homicide has been
precipitated by a course of friendly taunts.
A joke between friends is often danger
Gus play thing. 1t is false evasion Of re-
sponsjbility to declare: "If he cannot stand
a joke he ought not to associate with other
people Mems ideas of a joke vary
widely. What is pure fun to some Is the
sharpest distress to others.
The Wilmington girl was type of
large class. She was doubtless more keenly
susceptible than usual to this form of
persecution. but her fate should serve as
a warning 1t is wise to heed the pleas
of the victim. They are danger signs.
