What a cruel shame it is to suggest that George A. Squire,
President of the Railway Reformatory Managers, is lodging the
Assembly Investigating Committee He has a acute attack of
that tired feeling and it fatgues him very much to meet per-
sons who ask impertnent questions. If Mr.. Backes will forward
his queries by mail Mr.. Squire may feel equal to the task of
answering them.

The Logic of IT.


Mr.. Bryan has criticised Secretary Taft
as a mere straddler of all of the issues in
sight. While Mr.. Bryan is voicing this
criticism, others of the Democratic leaders,
including warm admirers of Mr.. Bryan, are
denouncing Secretary Taft as being merely
the echo of his chief, President Roosevelt.
taking no new line himself. Again, Mr..
Bryan and numbers of his admirers have
been complaining for many months that
President Roosevelt has appropriated many
of Bryan's ideas and is thus masquerading
in Mr.. Bryan's garments, feloniously APP
propriated. The logic of this. taken alto
gether, according to this good Democratic
authority, Is that Roosevelt has appropria-
ted Bryan's platform, has bequeathed 1t to
Mr.. Taft, and that the l~atter's use of it
constitutes a straddling of all Of the inn
portant issues in sight.
1t does not appear how Mr.. Bryan fails
to recognize his own ideas, appropriated by
Mr.. Roosevelt and passed On by him for
MI. Taft to use. Or is it possible that both
Mr.. Bryan and his friend are wrong in
every detafi?-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

rs FORT SURE OF THE NoMnVA ThoN?-PITNEYS FRIENDS MAY

Major Carl Lentz has been on the political retired list for

effort to influence the election of Ptney delegates. Will he re-

The engineers of the discredited Dickinson machine in Jer-
sey City are talking about defying the will of the voters as
expressed at the primary elections. In spite of all their bull
doing, and the hgh-handed methods of the election officers,
and the help given to them by Democratic politicians, the Dick
inson forces were routed. The beating would have been even
more decisive but for the showing made by the Dickinson forces
in Democratic districts, and that tells its own story.
What these defeated ringsters may or may not do now is
a matter of small consequence so far as the November election
is concerned. They will knife Pagan S they did before, but
without Democratic votes they can't accomplish much and on
this occasion the Democrats will need all their votes. Davis
wants to make it clear that if the next Governor is a Demo
Icrat he cannot help seeing how much he is indebted to Hud-
son Couuty's big vote. M.

Much depends on the solidity of the Fort legions in Essex
County. It has been assumed that, with the exception of a
few Phney delegates. all those elected IN the regular Republi-
can ticket are for the East Orange jurist. But. so far, they
have not been poned and some have refrained from committing
themselves positively Is to their choice of a candidate.
In aid of the Pitney boom, Major Lentz could depend on
a majority of the Union County delegates and all those within
reach of the influence of congressman Gardner and Loudenslager.
From "Davy =" Baird's bailiwick he could expect little, as
/" Davy is practically, though not actually, committed to Fort.
A very big stumbling block in the path of the Pitney advo-
Gates is, however, the lukewarmness of his own county-Mouis.
" Uncle Dan !" Voorhees, is decidedly not enthusiastic about
Justice Ptney and Dams word goes with the Morris delegates.

Governor Stokes could, if he would, render substantial aid
to the Pitney movement by coming out aggressively on that
side. To do that, however, would mean a break with the
Roeblngs, and it is not believed that the Governor wants to
provoke or invite such a rupture.
Then there is the attitude of the colbyhes to be taken into
consideration. They cannot accomplish the nomination of Frank
Sommer. That being so, to whom shall their votes go after the
first ballot? All the leaders of the Cobyites are on excellent
terms personally with Justice Fort, and the Hudson County
wing is particularly friendly to him. But, then, it must be re-
that Senator Colby thought enough of Justice Pitney
to vote for him as United States Senator. Possibly the deciding
will be the belief that with Justice Fort as a candidate
could rely upon a more advanced and radical platform
than would be favored by Justice Pitney. Leaving out the
and the referendum Justice Fort is practically in accord
the principles of the colbyites, whereas Justice Pitney is
in his views.

How Oider Countries View the Hise
 or the United states
The American peril?

The American peril?
 Is the great American nation one of those mighty empires which have risen in the world now and then. dwarting all other organizations Of society,"
 This question is of immense import to Europe Within the last few years an enormous literature has grown up around the subject Among modern sociologists none speaks with greater authority than Guglielmo Ferrero. Long and scientifically he has studied our country; his opinion of the present, his forecast of the future. represent the best European thought upon the destnieS of the United States To many it will seem an exaggeration of our greatness: to others il will show an undue distrust of democracy; hut, in any case, it is the word of scientific historan-of man who is looking for the truth Neither wealth nor science can change the laws that govern the growth of nations. For Signor Fer rero the United States stands today in the position of the Roman Empire in the days of Augustus He pictures an America which is bound to 20 the Roman way increasing in power, draining incalcula ble wealth from that orient which enriched Rome. forced In spite of hereditary democratic ideals to make itself strong by land and sea In order to hold its own and guard its world wide trading flag, overshadow- ing the huge modern world as Rome did the little civilization of the Medi- terranean.
 After calm reflection and i'll q cold, scientific way. the thinkers and states men of old Europe predict for the new world this visionary future, and brood ing over 1t they seem to be in the very shadow of the peril.

THINK OF II.
Things Not in Mail Order House
 Catalogues.

The following from the Vest moreland, Kansas, Recorder is to the point:
 When your catalogue comes from your mail order house, draw an easy chair to the table where the light will shine full upon its pages, and put on your glasses that no bargains will escape your eye.
 What wonderful book It IS, to be sure. Wonderful for what it does not contain, as well as for what it does. You will miss something you will be glad to see.
 Where is their offer to pay cash or exchange goods for your wheat, oats, corn, bears, butter, eggs and hay:
 How much do they pay for cat tie, sheep and hogs. f. 0. b. your depot?
 How much tax will they pay 10 support your schools and educate your children-for improving roads and bridges, the support of the county, for the expenses of running the business of the town ship, county and state!
 On what page IS their offer 10 contribute to the church.
 What line of credit will they extend to you when your crops are poor or money gone-when through illness and misfortune, you are not able to send cash with orders" for your groceries, clothing, farm tools, eroekery, stoves and ranges
 Where is their offer to contrib ute to your entertainment next year?
 What did they do last year:
 In short will they do anything to provide market for what you have to sell and thereby keep up the value of your real estateE Will they do anything for social, church, school or government support, or do they take your dol- lar out of the community without any return except the goods you buy? Think this over carefully then call on your local dealer where you can see and examine the goods before you buy them, and by comparison of prices and quality you will see that you can do better at home, thereby help ing to build up your local town.

Protection Against Rabbits.

Mr. w. R. Atwood of the Nir- ginia Experiment Station, sever- al years since called attention to the merits of white lead paint ap- piled to young trees as protee- tion against rabbits injury. The writer has since used 1t In an ex- tensive way on young apple and peach trees. It has given the greatest satisfaction. Care is taken to get only pure white lead and pure linseed oil. No turpen- tine is used in the paint applied to trees. Other oils in the paint. like kerosene and gasoline, would be apt to endanger the life of the tree. For this reason, the use ot ready mixed paint, the compost tior of which IS unknown IS atten- ded with risk. There were heavy SHOWS last year ano again this winter. It Is during such time rabbit injury Is apt to be worse. \ few trees were gnawed last winter out of several hundred painted. but this was the fault of the laborer who applied the paint. He was so afraid of injurious eff feets that he applied only very thin coat. The past fall a good white coat was given the stems of 2S00 young apple trees and 2000 peach trees in orchard plant ings. Two heavy snows have occurred since and examination shows not tree gnawed. The paint extends from the ground up the stems three feet. The pres ence of a crop of green herbage, like winter rye, spinach, etc., has been found to give large meas ure of immunity. It affords the animals the food they are after and III this way 1t affords protec- tion to the trees. The writer's plans has been to use both meth ods.
 Veneer strips which may be had at S4. 50 to S5 athousand of box and basket factories are sat isfactory. They are soaked in water preparatory to use. They form d tube about the stem four inches in diameter when bound with wire, and left about the trees till they decay. Bundles of these strips, while in the flat, may have the ends dipped in coal tar. The dipped end is then placed downward. The object IS plain. Corn stalks, rye, straw, paper. ropes of twisted grass are some times used but are more expen- sive than the means before men, tioned. Thrifty trees which have been successfully protected from rabbit injury are sometimes killed by subsequent inattention to removing the wires or the strings used in binding the pro- lection in place.

THE MAN FISH.
Peculiar Animal With a Sort of
 Human Appearance.

There used to be traditions among women and half fish. and there are fishes which may have given rise to the belief. from their resemblance to human beings One of these is called the man fish
 This animal inhabits the mouths of the Amazon. 0rinoeo and other South American rivers Its name fmanateel has reference to the peculiar form of its swimming paws These are com posed of soft parts and membrane which infolds the bones of the hands and fingers. But in the manatee four flat nails are seen attached to the edge of the paw.
 The tail also is peculiar. being about one-fourth the length of the body and oval shaped, not unlike that of the ot- ter The head is round. attached to the body without a neck The muZZle, in which the nostrils are placed, is large and f1eshy. the upper lip cleft and bris- tied at the side, the lower lip much shorter and the mouth small.
 ueu seen at uiStdHce, WILL tue du terior part of the body out of the wa ter, they are sometimes taken for some creature approaching to human shape. The effect has been deepened by the thickset hairs of the muscle, giving somewhat the appearance of human hair or a beard Thus the Spanish and the Portuguese give the manatee a name which signifies woman fish. and the Dutch call it the dudong baardman- netze or little bearded man.

His First Day.

Senator F. Q. Butt of Eureka Springs Is convict in the Ar kansas penitentiary He slept last night in cell No. lo7 at the old penitentiary walls. His registry number IS 1898. He is the first prisoner entering the penitentiary during the year 1907.
 Senator Butt called at the Supreme Court clerks office yesterday morning between 9 and 10 o'clock and secured his commit ment from Deputy Clerk W. P, Sadler. He spent the remainder of the morning bidding goodbye to his friends at the state house. He ate dinner at the Gleason Cafe and telephoned 10 J. A. Pit cock, surerintendent of the peni tentiary, shortly after 10 o'clock, stating that he would be at the penltentiary office within half an hour 10 begin his sentence. He went 10 the penitentiary alone and presented his commitment to Superintendent Piteoek. It was unnecessary for him to answer some of the usual questions asked the conviets, because of his being well known by the penltentiary officials. As soon as his name was entered on the register he was taken the cell house. where he discarded his citizens clothing and put on the stripes of the con- vict. His hair was clipped and his measurements taken. He weighed in at 153 pounds and appeared to be in perfect health. He was assigned to cell No. l07. and was at once put to work with l four or five other eonvicts Skln- ming beef, which had been kill ed just prior 10 his arrival. When this was completed he was put to work with one of the other convicts hauling coal to the bin Tn the boiler room of the cell house. He went about his work with determined look and did not complain at any time of the duties assigned him.
 When he discarded his citizens clothes he was permitted to keep bis shoes, underclothing and hat. When seen inside the penitentiary stockade about , o'clock he wore a new wooden coat of ripes and an old pair of trousers. The stripes on the trousers were faded, but those on the coat were bright. He wore the light slouch hat that he had when he came to Little Rock day before yesterday. and his shoes were the same that he brought with him from Eureka Springs.
 He was hauling coal at the time aud his face was besmirched with coal dust. Il. K. Gazette.
