They Want the Real Thing,

tIOIh IIl IIICdB1 NeWA
Striking evidence that it is not the
man, but his principles that have first
place in the public mind is found in the
fact that of late Roosevelt policies"
have been definitely separated from the
Roosevelt personality as something that
the people must fight for beyond the
limits OF the Roosevelt administration.
To-day the Americans who want the
Roosevelt personality retained in the
White House after March I. 1909, are
far outnumbered by those who stand
ready TO do battle for the perpetuation
and natural evolution of the Roosevelt
policies"

Politicians as Legislators.

frCfr the IlWaukee sentinel
We expect the American people will
soon get tired Of quarreling with their
bread and butter by tolerating or en-
couraging this misChievOus nuisance Of
laws proposed, not for sober and legiti-
mate legislative end5. but for political
advantage. Reform is good. But when
follies and injustiees are proposed in the
name Of reform, the name is in some
danger Of becoming odious.

ROMANCE OF A NAME.
Hugh Williams and a Remarkable
Series of Condolences.

T1u0n vvillIdItlS All q ! NaSl0
Series Of Condolences.
Names have figured frequently in CO.
medicines. one of the most remarkable
cases being that recorded Of a series Of
men named Hugh Williams, whose es-
capes from shipwreck are recorded by
an English chronicler.
On Dec. s, 1864, according to this au-
thority. the English ship Menia was
crossing the strait of Dover and cap
sized in a gale. OF the eighty-one pas
sengers on board II was saved. His
name was Hugh Williams.
On the same day Of the same month
in 1885 a pleasure boat was wrecked
on the Isle Of Man. There We're sixty
persons on the boat, among them one
Hugh Williams and his family. OF the
threescore none but old Hugh Williams
survived the shock.
On Aug. S, 1920, a p%icnicking party
on the Thames was run down by a
coal barge. There were twenty-five of
the p%icnickers, mostly children under
twelve years of age. Little Hugh Will
liams, a visitor from Liverpool, only
FIVE years old. was the only n who
was saved.
Now comes the most singular part of
this singular story. On Aug. 10, 1889, q
coal laden craft. with nine men, foun'
dered in the North sea Two Of the
men, each Of whom was named Hugh
Williams. an uncle and nephew, were
rescued by some fishermen and wert
the only men of the crew who lived tc

the certified check for 100000 which
he had placed in possession Of the ca
nal commission as a guarantee and the
formal notice Of the rejection of his
bid. These had been sent by special
messenger from the canal commission
to Mr.. Oliver at his hotel in Washing
ton. At the same time he notified the
commission that he wished to consult
with his attorney. The presumption
was that he might make a claim
against, the government for the $4,000
expenses which he had incurred in or.
ganizing the construction company.
He said that the president had accept.
ed his proposition and that the out
come was anything but a square deal.

In Terms Of Pig.

The ingenuity of the Chinese in sur
mounting difficulties is we'll illustrated
by the following dialogue, which re-
Gently took place on the Imperial Chi
nese railway.
Traveler-l wish to ship these two
dogs to Picking. What Is the rate?
Railway Official-No got any rate for
dog. One dog all same one sheep. One
sheep all same two pig. Can book four

Traveler-But one dog is only a pup

directly employed by the government.
The work may yet be let to contractors,
but they will be under the constant SUI
pervision of the army men. In a let
ter to Chairman Shonts the president
points out that the bids had been re-
jected because in securing financial
backing the contractors had arranged
to share profits with bankers, thus
making the government pay a higher
rate than If it were to raise the money
direct, while the contractors them
selves might come out at the little end
of the horn. He said further that
Stevens, who urged the contract plan,
now advised against accepting the
bids. It was not then known just why
Stevens had resigned.
Announcement was also made that
Senator Blackburn Of Kentucky would
become q canal commissioners.
Ambassador Bryce Presented.
Great Britain's new ambassador to
tile United States, James Bryce, for
mally presented his credentials to
President Roosevelt, being introduced
by Secretary Root. Mr.. Bryce spoke
Of how much his country and the Unit
ed States have in common and how
similar are many of their problems.
saying that each must be interested in
the good fortune Of the other. The
president made cordial reply.
Ohio Negro Not Appointed.
The announcement that the president
had reappointed the present surveyor
Of the port Of CINCINNATI showed that
he had thought better of his intention
Of appointing the negro Eugene Tyler
to that Office. 1t was said that this
change was due to the i~ntercession Of
Representative Longworth and was an
act Of mercy toward Foraker. Anoth-
er report was to the effect that the
president never intended to appoint
the negro. but vas having 4 joke at
Foraker's expense. +

Aerschel's Memory.

Until he had become a very old man
Sir John Herschel retained the strength
of intellect and freshness of memory
which enabled him to accomplish his
great scientific work. Sir Henry E.
Roscoe in his autobiography records
an instance when Herschel was seven
ty-four years old.
One evening in 1866 l happened to
meet him. He mentioned as an inter-
esting piece Of news that a star re-
Gently discovered had suddenly burst
out into first or second magnitude.
"Do you know" said Herschel. "that
when l was at the Cape l observed a
precisely similar phenomenon
He considered a moment and added,
eyes, it was in the year 1885," Again
he paused but a moment and conclud-
ed, ION August the 10th at 1 o'clock
in the morning."

Bevefidse- Bryan Debate Begun.
The question of state rights is dis
cussed from different viewpoints by
W. j. Bryan and Senator Beveridge Of
Indiana in the March number of the
Reader, thus beginning a joint debate
which is to continue for several months
and to include the issues on which the
next presidential election may be
fought out. Bryan argues that a with
drawal Of the power from the state
would breed Indifference to public af-
fairs, .''the forerunner Of despotism."
He says that the further the legislative
UOuy Ia LkOlA l4C COlAAluully oAOOSCA
by the law the easier 1t is for special
interests to control. Referring to Japa-
nese exclusion, he says that on no sub
ject will the people insist more strenu-
ously in controlling their own affairs
than in matters of education.
Beveridge, taking ''The Nation" for
his theme, asserts that the people are
in danger because the interests which
exploit them can more easily handle
a portion of the people than the en-
tire nation. Thus If they are defeated
in one state they always have forty
five other chances. This. he thinks.
shows the real basis Of the present eff.
fort toward national unity, whereas
every corporation Of national extent
Is championing state rights. He also
points out that scarcely any evil Is
confined to one state and that whel.
an evil is general states. acting sep

GROWING NUT TREES.
In Planting Follow Neture's Own Way
as Much as Possible.

a. - - 80 SSs~s
The age at which any nut trees come
into bearing depend" rn the ARE given
to the trees. Some authorities state
that fifteen or twenty years are neces-
sary to bring them into full bearing
from the time the nut is planted. This
s a mistake, as trees that have been
well cared for should bear n bushel Of
nuts in ten years, and the quantity
will increase rapidly each year after
that time.
Some persons may enjoy raising
these trees from seed. To be sure. it
is rather a slow process, but 1t is in
teresting work. When planting the
nuts, If they have thin shells be per-
fectly sure that they have not dried
out at all. The best plan is to get
them as soon as they ripen and plant
them at once. When this is not posi-
BILE. keep them in moist sand or in
sawdust until they can be started.
B%utternuts. walnuts, hickory nuts and
flberts. being hard shel!ed, will keep
in growing condition much longer, but
should be planted in the fall, as they
terminate better when allowed to
| freeze. as that cracks the shell.
The fall planting is natures own
plan, and the nearer we follow her
ways the better results we may ex-
! pect. Another thing, do not plant the
nuts deep. Nature drops them on the
| surface and gives them a thick cover
ing of leaves, in which the dirt catches
as it blows about; then the snow COW
ers all and helps the leaves to decay
and form a covering of leaf mold for
the tree to grow in.-Exchange.

LEGISLATIVE
hip Subsidy Forced Through.

The last week of the F%ifty-ninth on
gress was devoted mainly to finishing
up the appropriation bills which were
still in dispute between the two houses.
The senate receded from it's proposed
reduction Of $1O,OO0,O0O in railway
mail funds, and the house allowed sal
aries of rural carriers to be advanced.
Representative Wadsworth Of New
York got in a last rap at the president
by preventing the conference Oh the
agriculture bill from inserting the can
ned food label dating clause.
The ship subsidy bill was forced
through the house three days before
adjournment by the close party divi-
sion Of 1856 to IA. This was after it
had been defeated once fairly, 161 to
154, but upon a motion to reconsider
the Republican leaders brought great
pressure to bear on certain members.
Forty Republican insurgents stood out
against the bill, and four Democrats
refrained from voting. Four lines to
South American ports are to receive
100000 a year for q monthly mail
service and 100000 for a fortnightly
service, except that the Argentine line
will get 100000 for a monthly and
100000 for a fortnightly service.
The senate ratified the new Santo
Domingo treaty.
No canteen For Soldiers Homes.
By a vote of 81 to SO the house Of
representatives declared it's opposition
to appropriating money for any nation
al home for volunteer soldiers where a
bar or canteen is maintained for the
selling of intoxicating liquors.
Currency Bill Passes Senate.
The Aldrich currency bill passed the
senate by a vote of 43 to IA, the di-
vision not being along strictly partisan
lines. The bill authorizes the secretary
of the treasury, when in his opinion
the supply of silver certificates Of the
denominations of ones, twos and fves
are insufficient to meet the public de-
mand, to issue United States notes of
the same denominations, retiring an
equal amount of Unites States notes of
the higher denominations, with the
proviso that such authority shall not
operate to lessen at any time the az
gregate amount of United State. notes
outstanding or to affect the right of
any national bank to issue one-third of
its circulation in denominations of
fives. The present law is amended so
as to permit receipts from customs as
we'll as those from internal revenu to
be deposited in national banks. The
law relating to the retirement Of ma
tional bank notes is also amended by
increasing from 100000 to $9,OOO,-
600 the maximum amount of national
bank notes that may be retired in any
one month.
Santo Domingo Treaty Ratified.
The senate, with a vote of 43 to 10.
one more than the necessary two
thirds, ratified the new Santo Domingo
treaty.
Brownsville Inquiry Adjourned.
The senate committee on military af-
fairs finished it's investigation of the
riot at Brownsville. Tex. More than
forty soldiers Of the discharged Twen-
'ty-fifth infantry had been examined.
The officers of the battalion will be
heard on March II.
