Speech of a Democrat.

OF the many Democratic speeches that
have been delivered at Jefferson birth
day dinner. and elsewhere recently none
compares in craftsmanship with that OF
Senator Rayner of Maryland at the JEFF
ferson dinner in New York last Satur-
day night. A few more speeches like
that would hush the voices of those who
are bemoaning the fact that there are
many factions in the Democratic party,
and that in order to get these factions
together it is necessary that the Demo.
crafts should nominate Mr.. Roosevelt, II
Republican, as their candidate for presi'
dent. Senator Rayner, in the speech to
which we call attention, said: In the
next Democratic platform | would
eliminate the customary and monotonous
indictments against the opposition for
crimes they have never committed and
would omit all reference to the virtues
we propose to practice in the event OF
our success. ! would incorporate plank
for low tariff and commercial reciprocity
with the trading nations. would have
it declared that there is no such thing as
an unwritten constitution, that if a
change in the constitution is needed it
should be made by the people and not by
the executive branch Of the government
and | would declare for the supremacy
Of the states in matters of local and
domestic concern, and would have II
made clear that the states wouldn't
yield the smallest portion of their sover
eign rights in these matters.
If Democrats will discuss Democratic
doctrines such as Senator Rayner point
ed out the factions in their party will
disappear and there will be no occasion
for Democratic orators to suggest that
Mr.. Roosevelt be made the presidential
candidate of the Democratic party

calling joys already tasted and those
still to come. For me to begin setting
it was the signal for violent enthusi-
asm on the part of our faithful nous
er. and at morning he invariably
rushed fearlessly to the spot where
the trap was known to do it's most
efficient work. There Is even a rumor
sum" once captured mouse on his
own account. But the testimony in
the case is confusing and contradic-
tory. ! am forced to believe the re-
ports of this mouses death have been
grossly exaggerated. However this
may be, the advent of "Pussum' has
been much to us all, and if we knew
his birthday we would add it to our
anniversaries.
"Pussum' Is reliable in other ways
Even from the beginning he was in
clned to be sober and dignified, and
did not destroy frail objects in the
wild gambols of kttenhood.
He was old and reflective even
in his youth and the ways Of
other cats are not his ways Most
young cats, and many old ones,
are common thieves, ready to leap on
the dinner table and grab something
the moment your back Is turned.
"Pussum' is distinctly uncommon in
these matters. He would scorn to
make a flying exhibition of himself
like that, or to conceal his designs
He even may be left in the dining
room alone with safety 1t is only

feasting is in progress. that with the
aid of a convenient chair he will calm

portions of the food as to please him.
If restrained at those times, he re-
CARDS us with reproach. and continues
his selection. If repulsed he retires
with dignity, and returns presently
with renewed determination. After
all, he is the same kitten who once
climbed the screen door and rallied to
victory from the tomato vines.
But though hero of perseverance
"Pussum" is not distinguished as a
warrior He has faith In discretion
and is willing to rely on his speed
rather than upon his skill and PROV
ess in conflict. Not that he Is COW

seems to be In getting into the atti

his object in running is to get fal

MANGLED BY LION.
Trainer Torn Almost To Pieces By
Enraged Beast.


Richmond. Va. Especially I'm a
life-and-death struggle with an en-
ragged lion at Ferari's show, at Idle
wood Park, Alfred Clarke, trainer,
was torn almost to pieces before the
best was subdued. Clarke will die.
The lion, Sutton sprang at his
trainer when Clarke first entered the
cage just prior to the night per-
Torrance for the purpose of putting
him through his usual turn. The
lion caught one of Clarke's arms and
then the other, biting through both
flesh and bone.
Clarke, fighting for his life, but
with both arms crushed, was borne
to the floor of the cage, the teeth
and nails of the animal tearing great
gashes in his back and breast.
Col. Ferari himself was the first
man to recognize the danger of the
trapped trainer, and he rushed to
the rescue. He sprang into the cage
and quickly fired fifteen blank pis-
tol shots in the lions face, finally
driving him into a corner of the
cage, cowed.
Clarke was removed from the cage
and physicians summoned He was
a mangled heap Of flesh and bone.

CAT ON BABY's BREAST.

and three others are seriously i'll,
due, so he says, to a cat having
sucked their breath" when they lay
asleep in bed.
The father, in the dim light, saw
the family cat sitting on child's
breast, its nose close to the babes
lips. The cats claws scratched the
child's breast as the father drew it
away.
Going to the bed of the other
children, he found, he says, that
the cat had sucked the breath of
all, and that two were so i'll it was
necessary for him to hitch up his
horses and drive to the village for
a doctor. The latter says they can
not live.

SECRETARY Taft ENDS
TRIP AROUND WORLD
Laughs When Asked Choice For
Presidency.
JAPAN IS NOT LOOKING FOR WAR.
After Leading Reporters Lively
Chase, the Secretary Of War Is Over
taken and Asked His Preference as
to Roosevelt's Successor His Choice
Will Have to BE Inferred.

New York Especially William H.
Taft, secretary of war, returned FRI
day from his trip around the world,
bringing renewed assurance of ia
pans friendliness toward the United
States, but declining to say anything
with respect to the political situation
in this country. He said that he had
been too long out of intimate touch
with political affairs at home to dis
cuss them in any way. One of Mr..
Taft's interviewers lad the temerity
to ask:
well, Mr.. Secretary. tell us who
is your choice for president.
Amid general laughter, in which
he heartily Joined, the Secretary re-
piled:
II guess I will have to leave that
to inference
1T is the height of foolishness to
talk of possible war with Japan,
declared the Secretary. Japan
doesn't desire war with us and we
certainly do not desire war with ia
pan. If there was any war spirit
anywhere in Japan | failed to find
the slightest note of it. Everywhere
there was talk of continued peace.
1 speak very confidently about this.
Our trade relations with Japan are
extensive and constantly growing.
Japan's exports amount annually to
about $3.50, 100000. of which we
take about one-third. The exports
consist largely of mattings, lace
goods, embrodieries and other fancy
work, in the production of which
many people are interested. We,
in turn, ship vast quantities of -four,
oil and such commodities to japan.
This sort of trade is a great pacin-
Gator
What about the Pacific fieet?"
'.sThe sailing must have been a
magnificent sight. We have fine
ships and a fine personnel, and so
long as the Pacific Ocean belongs to
us as much as to anybody else see
no reason why we should not send our
ships there on practice cruise The
Japanese are too intelligent and high
minded to attribute any false motive
to the movement.
My trip had as its only definite
object report on conditions in the
Philippines. My visit to Japan was
only incidental. Travelling by COM
mercial steamer, we had to stop there
and it was only courtesy for me to
pay my respects to the Emperor.
The trip through Russia was made
partly to save time and partly be-
cause / had crossed the Pacific six
times and was rather anxious to see
the new territory. My visit was in
no sense official So many courtesies
were shown me from the moment I
put foot on Russian soil I could not
have refused, even had I desired to
do so, the invitation to an audience
of the Russian Emperor. I was much
impressed by the Emperor's person
ality and his entire familiarity with
current affairs, especially American
politics.

The POWERS ARE

Teheran (By Cable).- behalf
of the nation the Persian Parliament
has issued manifesto to the world
explaining the present constitutional
crisis and appealing for assistance.
The manifesto, which was distributed
to the foreign legations and consul
lates here, says.
When the affairs of the empire
had fallen into hopeless state the
nation saw its only salvation in con-
stitutional government. The late
Shah granted constitution, and the
reigning Shah confirmed it, but per-
sons who under the despotic regime
were accustomed to Cypress the peo-
pie misled our young sovereign into
the belief that the constitution was
the cause of the present troubles.
The nation wants to do nothing
that will disturb peace, but, in view
OF the attack of the reactionary MEM
bers of the government, it will de-
fend the constitution, its only hope,
to the utmost.
by means of this manifesto the
Persian nation makes known to all
legations and foreign diplomatic rep
resentatives the actual condition OF
the affairs, and informs them that
the sovereign is violating his cove
nant with the people. 1t makes this
announcement to all the nations OF
the world, convinced that they will
show brotherly love to the 10000
600 Persians and not allow their
rights to be trodden under foot. I
