Has Wrong Pig by the Ear.

Has wrong rig ny the Ear,
The Washington Post sapiently re-
marks:
Champ Clark says the president is too
much Of a Democrat to suit the Repub-.
leans and not enough OF a Democrat to
suit the Democrats. Perhaps he is mere
ly trying to suit the common people.
The Post has the wrong pig by the
ear. Champ Clark said nothing Of the
sort. He has never thought that Pres
ident Roosevelt is much of Demo
crat, though he has frequently asserted
hat the presidents most popular acts
ind policies are bottomed on ideas
which he borrowed from Democrats.
1t SO happened that on the night Of
Saturday, April q, Hon. William J..
Bryan and myself spoke at a Jefferson
club banquet at Des Moines, Ia. Incl
dentally it may be stated that 1t was o
great function. From the jumbled
press report sent out it was difficult to
tell what Bryan said and what said,
but he came nearer using the language
attributed to me than l did Here Is
precisely what he said III that connec-
ton: Roosevelt Is too Democratic to
suit the corporations, too little Demo-
cratic to suit the Democrats"
The thing, however, to which de-
sire to call attention is the last SEN
tence in the excerpt from the Post,
Perhaps he is merely trying to suit the
common people" Now, pray, who are
the common people? Ninety-nine per
cent of all the common people in Amer
lea are either Democrats Or Republic
ans, and if had used the language at.
tributed to mc-and it is more conpre-
hensiye than that used by Mr.. Bryan
and II it is true, then 1t follows that
Colonel l.ooseiieit is not plea;;lEg 90
per cent of the people. The Post seems
to think that the comnloa people are
neither Demoerats nor Republicans.

od.,l on Roosevelt.

The Republican party at this partic-
ular juncturc would hardly be selected
as first rate sample of Il happy fam
lily. 1t has been known for long time
that there is no love lost between Pres
ident Roosevelt and Benjamin b. Odell,
ex-representative In congress, eN-goy-
ernor of New York, eX-chairman Of the
state Republican committee and OK
boss of the state, man who before
Mckinley was assassinated harbored
presidential aspirations himself. In a
recent speech he uses language which
everybody understands was Il whacli
at the president. Odell said:
Every age has Its foibles Its vagaries,
Its strenuous men and times when the
voice Of the reformer, like that of grass
hoppers. is burden in the land. The
time comes when there are fewer dis
eases than remedies. more charlatans
than physicians and more apparent faults
than virtues. There is n microbe of poll
tics we'll as a microbe OF disease, and
one Is as dangerous as the other.
Some men who have become famous
encircle themselves within the boundaries
OF their own egotism. Within this circle
1t is impossible to bring their fellow men.

and that all other members of society

That's rather hot stuff, but it isn't
a marker to what ex-United States
Senator John NJ Thurston of Nebraska
said in speech recently at Il banquet
In Philadelphia. Odell never mention
ed the presidents name, but Thurston
came right out and talked about him
by name and said that the great duty
of the hour was to unload him. Mayor
Reyburn Of the City of Brotherly Love,
who resigned a seat in congress, said
amen" to Thurstons remarks. So it
seems that the Rooseveltites and anti
Rooseyeltites are lining up everywhere

The Color Line.

In Washington, right under the au-
gust nose of the president, the color
line is being constantly drawn in open
defiance Of the big stick. A short
time ago the white draughtsmen in the
architects office Of the treasury de-
partment objected to working side by
side with Il colored brother who had
passed successfully the examinations
of the civil service commission, and
three of them resigned rather than
work in his society. Now the color
line is visible among the lawyers of
that delectable city. The court res
taurant keeper refused to cater to a
colored lawyer, and the white lawyers
demand lunch room in the court
house exclusively for members of the
bav association, the rub to which is
that no colored lawyer can be men,
Der of the bar association. What's
become of the civil rights bill, any
way?

t;aIusha A. Grow.

Ex-Speaker Galusha A. Grow has gone
to his reward, having lived four years
beyond the psalmist's extreme allot-
ment of fourscore years. He was
kind old man, of fair capacity and long
experience, was David Wilmots sue
cessor and was speaker in 1S61-G3. 1t
seems that the newspapers of the
east We'd with each other as to the
number of mistakes they could make
touching him and his career. A Scran
ton dispatch says that when he entered
congress in 1851 he was not only the
youngest man in that house, which
may or may not be true, but he was up
to that time the youngest ever elected
to the house Of representatives, which
Is most certainly not true. No doubt
there had been dozens of younger rep
resentatives. Grow was twenty-eight,
and John Randolph of Roanoke was
only twenty-five when he entered and
looked so youthful that 1t was suspect
ed that he had not reached the age re-
quired by the constitution. Interrogat-
ed as to his age, he scornfully replied,
ASK the men who elected mew
He was first elected in 1850 and re-
elected five times, retiring March 4,
1868. In 1894, a representative at large
from Pennsylvania having died, Mr..
Grow was elected to succeed him.
Judge William S. Holman of Indiana
was then the only man in the house
that had served with Grow in the fifties
and sixties. so he escorted him to the
| speakers desk to be sworn In. AS
| these two venerable statesmen walked
down the big center aisle arm In arm
an irreverent youngster said soto voce,
''There goes the vanguard Of the army
of the resurrection" During his sec
ond period in the house he served about
eight years. One Of the eastern papers
| said that during those years he never
spoke on any subject except the tariff
and that he made long speech on
that annually. AS matter of fact, he
spoke yolubly on several subjects.
Another statement going the rounds
| is that he is the only man ever elected
to the house by unanimous vote, while
as a matter Of fact there have been
dozens of them so elected.
Mr. Grows chief usefulness in his
second period of congressional service
was not in. the speeches which he de-
livered on the floor Of the house, but
in relating his recollections privately
of generation long since passed away.
He possessed fine memory, was
good conversational, and his mind

Ship Subsidy Rediyivus.

Il
| When Senator Carmack of Tennessee
the closing days of the last congress,
very much to his own glory, most folks
believed and many asserted that we
would hear no more Of that pestiferous
and malodorous measure. This con-
clusion was based partly on the fact
that General Charles Henry Grosvenor
of Ohio, the sage Of Athens and daddy
of the S. S. bill, was retiring from
public life But this conclusion was
erroneous, as is shown by President
Roosevelt's remarkable letter to Rep
resentative Pollard of Nebraska, one
of the proponents of the defunct bill.
How the president happened to write
| to Pollard is not known, but the
chances are that when Pollard return
agricultural constituents as enthusiasts
tic for ship subsidy as were the lobby

to raid the treasury and perhaps con-
veyed news of their lack of enthusiasm

Dental letter to Pollard, which no
doubt the latter will ever cherish as
among the most valuable of all his pos

Pollards as a precious heirloom. This,

TANNEHILL's RECORD.
Boston's Left-Handed TwirIer Has

CHANGES CUBS TRAINING "TRIP.
Murphy of Chicago National League
Bal Club VIII Go to New Orleans.

+ Chicago, Jan. Exchanges in the
plans for the spring training of the
Cubs, National league champions, have
just been made by President Murphy Of
the West Side club. 1t was originally
intended to send the men to Marlin
Springs or San Antonio, Tex, but it
was found other teams had made ar
rangements to do their preliminary
work on those grounds, and, according
ly, President Murphy decided to look
for other quarters.
West Baden, Ind, is the new choice
of the club president. The team did its
preliminary work there last spring and
Manager Chance was pleased with the
results. Accordingly it is expected the
men will be sent to the springs at that
point and later will go south to play at
New Orleans. March is the date the
team will start for West Baden, it is
figured, and after a weeks preparation
it will go south to play the Pelicans on
Sunday, March 10. A week will be
spent in the Crescent city and a second
game will be played with the Pelicans
March IT, after which the club will
work it's way north in time to be at
home for the opening of the season on
April II at the West side, with the
Pittsburg Pirates as their opponents.

sQUIREs AND JACK o'BRIEN.
Australian Asks for Bout in Order to
Lead UD to Jeffries

Los Angeles, Jan. 15-Bill Squires, the
Australian heavyweight, and Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien are practically matched to
fight 20 rounds before the Pacific Athletic
club of Los Angeles some time in March
or April.
Matchmaker Tom McCarey has secured
Squires' consent to fight for a good purse
and he expects to land O'Brien.
The match with OBrien is largely at
Squires' suggestion, though the fight has
been talked of for a year past. Squires
was notified by cablegram that the JEFF
fries fight had fallen through through
Jeffries' refusal to make fair division
of the purse.
The Australian promptly wired back
that he was willing to come to America
to fight anybody, and asked for a match
with O'Brien.
The articles of agreement between
O'Brien and Burns, said McCarey, per
nit either man to fight one battle between
the date of signing and fiesta week. So
this will have no OBJECT on that fight I'M
less O'Brien is defeated. Then, of course,
Squires will take his place as Burns OPP
Donent.
1T is my intention to have Squires and
O'Brien fight here in March or April, if
Squires can get away from Melbourne on
January Is, as he planned originally. /
think he will be good card, and if this
affair with O'Brien should by any chance
fall through 1 going to give. him a
crack at the winner of the O'Brien-Burns
battle
