The Third Tel m.

While the leading Republican
newspapers Of the country are, as
a rule, opposed to the renomination
of Roosevelt by The Republican
party. there appears to be systema-
tic campaign going on throughout
the country in favor of it. Eyiden-
ces OF that campaign are cropping
out in such papers as the Washing
ton Herald and the Atlanta Georgians
and in reading matter furnished by-
press bureaus and correspondents to-
many country papers. The plan
Sc ms 10 be to build up a distinct
Roosevelt party. which will be able
TO sandbag the Republican national
convention. The promoters of this.
scheme are proceeding by indirec--
ton. Their line of argument is IL:
lustrated by the following extract
from an article in the Washington
Herald Of June 26, written in replvi
to an editorial Of the Brooklyn Eagle:
MIR. Roosevelt is not engaged in
forcing his denomination. His at
titude is not at all that of candi-.
date for third term. He has not
even countenanced movement for
his denomination. There is really:
no such movement, at any rate not,
not in an organized or tangible form.
What exists is sentiment, or be-
lief, that the President ought to be
renominated. What if this senti.s
ment should dominate the Republi-i
can national convention; what if the
nomination, instead Of being forced
by Roosevelt, should be forced upon
him? Would not such an eventual
ity put the moral aspect of the.
Presidents election night declaration
in an entirely different light from
that IN which the Eagle views it2s
The Eagle has ignored the more
probable contingency for less prob
able if not altogether impossible one.
There is vital distinction between
the two."
Such talk as.this is appearing
constantly in class of papers which
have no claims to leadership inI
either party And tits true as the
Brooklyn Eagle says, that .'it is
probable the President could force
his own denomination y

Good Manners.

A friend Of yours and mihei iiasss very
Justly defined good breeding to he "thc
result of much good sense, some. good
nature and little self denial for the
sake of others, and with view to OBJ
tain the same indulgence from them"
Taking this for granted--,as 1 think it
cannot be disputed-it is astonishing to
me- that anybody who has good sense
and good nature can essentially fail
in good breeding. AS to the modes of
1t. indeed, they vary according to per-
sons, places and circumstances and are
only to be acquired by observation and
experience, but the substance of it is
everywhere and eternally the same
Good manners are to particular socie-
ties what good morals are to society in
general-their cement and security
And as laws are enacted to enforce
good morals or at least to prevent the
Ill effects of bad ones, so there are GER.
tain rules Of civilit;,, universally i'm
piled and received. to,,elforce good
manners and punish bad ones.-Ches.

Made For Fat Men.

One of the narrow arches in the gall
lery of the chapel at Columbia univer-
sity is not exactly symmetrical. al
though the defect is not noticeable to
the casual observer. The reason fer
the widening of the arch after its orig
inal construction had rise in some
what humorous occurrence. One O..
the early visitors was remarkably fat
man, who found himself wedged into
the arch when he tried to squeeze
through and was extricated With some
difficulty. The builders. recognizing
the possibility Of other fat people be-
Ing numbered among the future Wis.
itors, decided to widen the arch, sac
rificing symmetry and harmony to
practical need, as the pier was so con-
structed us to bear no loss of width
on one Of its sides.-New York Globe

test save his hogs from future in
lection, and save his children who
drink the milk and eat the pork
from the danger Of becoming in
fected with tuberculosis.
Hence we regard this address by
DIR. MeNeill as most timely, and on
ly regret that it was not delivered
before an audience of farmers rath-
er than of swine breeders. Swine
breeders as rule keep comparative
ly few cattle. Many of them do
not depend on milk for growing
their pigs; and hence their herds are
much less liable to infection with
tuberculosis than the herds of the
average farmer.
DR.. McNeills remarks on the sore
mouth of pigs were exceedingly
timely. He pointed out that the
cause is unclean pens, pens that are
infected with the germ which causes
this disease, which can easily be
eradicated by thorough disinfection
with the dips usually recommended,
followed by thorough whitewashing
of the pens. He cited an instance
where one farmer had remarked !, to
him that every litter of pigs that
was kept in certain pen were eff
fected with this disease. He also
suggested that the dropping of tails,
so common on farms, is due to the
same cause; that the ringworm (not
the Texas itch or scab, but the ring
worm that affects pigs and some
times calves) was caused by the
same germ.
Altogether the address wasan ex-
ceedingly interesting one, and the
thanks of the audience are due DR.

"Greek's Bearing Gifts. y

Before the democrats shower their
praises upon Senator Knox as de-
fender of the rights Of the states, let
them carefully re-read the story Of
the Trojan Horse, which gave rise
to the proverb, Beware of the
Greeks bearing gifts" The Tro-
jan Horse, it will be remembered,
was presented as gift but it was
full of soldiers and the soldiers
came forth at night and wrought
the ruin of the besieged city.
Senator Knox is supported by
representatives Of predatory wealth
and predatory wealth opposes all
government regulation. The local
representatives Of the great corpor-
ations spend their time showing
that all state regulation is an inter-
ference with interstate commerce,
while the national representatives of
these same corporations are employ
ed to denounce national regulation
as an infringement upon the reserv-
ed rights of the states. The object
of predatory wealth is to assail every
sort Of restraint. At present it looks
as if Senator Knox is the man Sc
lected by the railroads and trusts to
protect them from federal prosecu-
ton and he is likely to become quite
popular with these papers which
get their inspiration from Wall
Street. He will use the presidents
gushing endorsement of his cabinet
work to win the support of those
republicans who shout for some
one in harmony with President
Roosevelt but DO NOT NAME
HIM, while he can count on the sup
port Of every corporation that has
its hands in the pockets of the peo-
pie and, therefore, wants to 'let
we'll enough alone"
The democrats believe in protect
ing the rights Of the states, but they
will not be deceived by the effort
now being made to use the states
right doctrine as breast work for
the trusts when these trusts are at
tackled by congress. Democrats be-
lieve that the powers of both the
state and the federal governments
should be used for the protection Of
the people; men who engineer the
Knox boom are opposed to govern
mental restraint whether that re
straint is exercised by the state or
by the nation. Commoner.

Governor Hughes OF New York, is
fighting the ring that has controlled
politics and to a great extent. bust
ness in that state for many years.
He has convened the Legislature in
special session for the purpose of
securing the enactment Of certain
measures the passage of which he
urged at the regular session and
which were defeated in the legisla-
ture. Gov. Hughes was able to se-
cure many good laws at the regular
session and will probably bring such
a pressure of public opinion to bear
upon the members of the legislature
that they will not have the courage
to turn down the measures that are
in popular favor. Governor Hughes
is improving his position in the
eyes Of the people every day and it
would not be impossible for him to
wrest the republican presidential
nomination from the Roosevelt ma
chine next year.

Caribou Horns.

Not one out of every ten female carl
bou has horns. When they do have
them. they are much smaller than
those Of the bull. The horns of the
female have, however, in general many
more branches than those of the bull,
and they are much more regularly and
finely formed. The cows carry their
horns much longer than the bulls.
They have been seen with their horns
In the month of April. The old bulls
shed their horns from the 10th to the
last of November. They hardly ever
carry them after the month of Noven-
ber. The young bulls shed theirs from
the first of December until the middle
Of February. The younger the animal
the longer. he retains his horns.

because he failed to say word about
Senator La Toilette, while praising
Senator Spooner, in his recent
speech at Madison, Wisconsin. Per-

since La Toilette is his rival for the

Loss Of credit, of course, means that
the public has lost confidence in the
managers Of the railroad corpora
tons; and for that result the Harri-

who have been involved in the scan
dals OF the past two years are re-
sponsible. No doubt, these men
