The launching of Senator KnoX's
presidential boom by the republicans of
Pennsylvania has not received serious
consideration from the people. There
is little sincerity behind the Knox can
didacy, even in Pennsylvania. The be
lief is general that it is a scheme on
the part of tn" bosses and corporations
To work the "favOrite son" game in
order that Roosevelt shall not renom-
mate himself or name his successor.
Senator Knox occupies peculiar pO-
sition in American politics He made
his fortune as railroad and corpora
ton attorney. yet as attorney general
in the cabinets of President Mckinley
and Roosevelt he planned the program
which has resulted in the successful
campaign that has been waged for sey-
eral years in the enforcement of the
law and the punishment of the corpor-
atoms which he formerly served as
paid attorney. He was selected by the
machine republicans of PENNSYLVANIA to
succeed Senator Quay. and vet his rec
ord in the senate has been perSiStCntly
and consistently in line with President
RCOscvelt's policies. He seems 20 have
been pretty good Roosevelt republic
can, in spite of his supporters at home
His ability has never been questioned.
nor has his personal honesty or politi-
cal integrity been impugned. He is
handicapped. however, by being the p0-
litical product of the Pennsylvania ma
chine, dominated and controlled by cor
poration interests, and the fact is blot
on Senator KnoX's political escutcheon
| that it seems impossible 10 erase.
While his political record would cntitIe
him to 90 before the country claiming
that he is republican of the Roosevelt
type. the country is not prepared to
accept him as such That he is no.;
looked upon by the country as an avail
able candidate for the Roosevelt sue
censorship seems to be his misfortune,
rather than his fault

Beast---Sot Man.

A moustrous criminal and multi-mur
derer like Orchard. who is a seli-cOn-
fessed beast in human Suise, would not
hesitate al perjury. Perjury on the
witness stand would be trivial to such
an arch-criminal whose blOod-Iusting
brutality and inhumanity have made il
so easy for him to MAIN and kill. Such
an assassin and his awful deeds recall
the barbarOus Semi-maniacs of the dark
ages whose hands We're always red
with human blood and who reveled in
crime.
Orchard cOnfesses that he killed men
for pay. He did not murder because of
any real or imaginary principle, but
for pay He did not murder because of
ANY loyalty to individual or OrganiZa-
ton. but for pay He would have as
readily slain one class of men as an
other, his only purpose being to receive
the highest possible reward. There
may be some truth in Orchards testi.
mony. but the jury will naturally de
spise such Il brute and accept his tes
|tim0ny with misgivings.
Only by remarkable and unexpected
substantiatiOn in detail of Orchards teS
timouy can his recitals of murder BE-
given any weight either in the minds OF
the jury or the public.

The venerable John Bigelow. who
was not 4 young man when he repre-.
scented the United States at Louis Ma
pOleOn's court during the civil war. adds
note Of warning to the alarmist ch0-
rus about Japan. His view is not I'M
like that of Putnam Weale. whose book
on the aftermath of the truce attracted
so much attention.
Mr.. Bigelow dwclls less upon the
probability that Japan will renew the
war than he does upon the injury done
to the Russian people by its Untimclv
interruption. He believes that the IN
tercessiOn of the United States was I'M
timely and that evil will come from it
rather than good. He assumes that the
complete defeat of Russia would have
completed the destruction of the gov
eminent and left the Russian people
free to establish a better.
He calls the Portsmouth peace con
yeatiOn an international calamity" be
cause he believes that il has helped TO
.perpetuate Il condition Of misery among
80 per cent of the people Of Russia One
of his passages in a letter prepared to
send to the president as a protest
against intervention is fine enough to
be preserved:
THE Master, who is silent party to
all wars, is not worrying about the
holders of Russian securities in ST Pc
tersburg and Frankfort and Paris and
London, or in Wall street. He is not
worrying either about the slaughter of
His creatures whose blood is staining
the soil of Manchuria and the waters
that battle the shores of Korea. He is
thinking rather of the government and
| institutions to be provided for the train
| ing of countless future generations for
a higher seat in His kingdom
OF course the answer TO Mr.. Bigelow
from the point of view of Russia is that
the people of that unhappy country are
unfit for elf-gOvernment and that com
pleter defeat by Japan would only have
cast them into cOmpleter anarchy. From
the point of view Of Japan the answer,
plainly limited at towards the end of Mr.
Weales book, is that it was time to stop
the war for economic reasons.
The elder statesmen and higher mill
tary commanders knew this, though the
soldiers who sought a glorious death
and the mobs that riOted in the streets
of the capital did not. The military
outcome of the interrupted battle in
Manchuria was less certain than the
enormous cost of it in lives and money
Even victory would have given Japan
lnO advantage compared to the cost o:
lit Ruined Russia could not pay an in.

demnity and the conquest Of Siberia
was less important than the industrial
exploitation of Manchuria and Korea.
The Japanese We're nearly at the end
of their credit, and it was the view Of
one of their field marshals that the
only result of prolonging the war wOuid
be TO exhaust the funds required for
the promotion of works in Korea and
Manchuria." Japan has acquired all
the territory il can digest and needs
the money and credit saved by making
peace to plant Industrial colonies on
the mainland, to utilize its mineral
wealth of manufacture and to dom
mate the commerce of the Pacific
1t is its game to postpone war until
the victories Of peace have enriched
it for it.

were killed and seven seriously injur-
ed on a work train loaded with 80
Mexicals returning from dinner yes
terday There were in the train three
fiat cars loaded with railway mate
rial A rail slid off the first fiat car
striking the ground end first, and was
twisted and thrown over the car,
striking Salvador Moreno and decap-
itating him. 1t then caught Vilad Por-
ras, fracturing his skull and break

in both cases. The accident occurred
three miles northeast of Texico. The
injured men were brought to Texico
and attended by Doctors Davis, Van
Almon, Breeding and Webb. Later
they were taken on passenger train
No. 2O2 to Amarillo. The dead were
buried this afternoon at Texico. The

Trainino Service,

But, again, the Society from the be
ginning has trained its members in
service quite as much as in expression
1t has been far more a doing society
than a talking society. If we were
amazed at the number of meetings
held each week throughout the world
when we came to reckon them up,
what shall we say about the working
committees which are equally essen
tial to Christian Endeavor?
Multiply the 10000 societies by five,
the average number of committees,
and that by five again the average
number of members on each commit
tee, and you will approximate the mum
Der of workers who are also scholars,
in this school of applied Christianity,
the number who are being trained ev-
cry week by actual, practical, definite
work for Christ and the church; and
as these committees frequently are
changed, twice this number, probably,
in the course of the year go to this
training school of service.

PRESIDENT ACKNOWLEDGES
INVITATION TO CARLSBAD.

c. w. Beeman, president of the
New Mexico Irrigation celebration has
received the following acknowledge
ment of the invitation which was sent
to President Roosevelt inviting him
to the celebration:
THE White House, Washington.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 20, 1907.
My dear sir:
4 have received the kind invitation
of your board of control, engraved on
a silver plate, to be present at your
celebration at Carlsbad, July 3, 4,
and 5, 1907.
LAS it is impossible for me to be
present in person, permit me, through
you to extend to the people of New
Mexico my hearty congratulations and
good wishes for the success of the oc-
casion. 1t is one of. real national in
terest. as it is the first recognition
of the reclamation work by legislative
action on the part of any state or ter
ritory. 1t will celebrate the first de
livery of water from government ir-
rigation works in the southwest.
Irrigation in New Mexico was an
accomplished fact many centuries,
perhaps many thousands of years, be
fore the first white man set foot on
our continent. Now we are taking
hold of the problem of irrigation un-
der entirely new conditions, and the
action of the national government, in
my belief is of more consequence
tnan anything else in setting the ques-
ton of the further development of the
west, by ensuring that it is not to be
retarded by failure to utilize the water
supply. In New Mexico particularly
this work is of Importance and full
development of the two great water
sheds of the Rio Grande and the Pecos
will be of fncalculable value to your
welfare.
with all good wishes. believe me,
Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Ieges that osculation is the very esse-

There is something remarkably

apparently with knowledge of his
facts. when two pairs of lips come
together it is like two clouds charged
with electricity, the one positive and
the other negative. AS in the case OF
the clouds, also, there is likely to fol
low a storm-an emotional storm that
sweeps before it all propriety and all
morality and all reserve. A cloudburst
of excessive passion and estacy-such
is a kiss. The best things prevented
are the worst instrumentalities for
deadly evil. Il know of nothing as
subtle and as damning as a burning.
