WILLING AND UNWILLING

Two tasks-one each for the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties-have
been undertaken by the politicians.
One is a task Of depressing too
willing candidate and the other of
drawing out an unwilling one.
In the Democratic party is a strong
movement to repress Bryan as a
Presidential candidate and in the Re
publican an equally determined effort
to make Roosevelt the Presidential
candidate. In these contrary lines of
endeavor the results are being watch
ed with great eagerness.
However popular in the West
Bryan may be. he is only moderately
popular with the Democracy of the
South and distinctly unpopular with
the Eastern wing AS it will be out
of date to ring in any no cross of
gold, no crown of thorns" on an
oyerheated convention, the opponets
of Bryan as a candidate have great
hopes of showing their fellow Demo
Gratis who take a different view, that
there is no chance of success at the
polls with Bryan as the nominee.
In the opposing camp the friends of
Roosevelt are finding him as unwill
ing to make the race again as Bryan
is willing, which is saying good
deal One prominent Republican says
its to be Roosevelt and another is
sure that the President will stick by
his promise not to be a candidate made
at the last election.
To permit himself to be candidate
Roosevelt would place himself in a
very embarrassing position. A man
who has been so open and above
board as Roosevelt cannot afford to
break his solemn pledge to the coun-
try. He could hardly do so and main
tain his own self-respect
Clean off the slate and let's have a
new deal in the matter of candidates.

Five Elderly Lawyers

Are the 9O,OOOOOO of Americans
of today and the coming millions OF
the future always to be tied hand and
foot by what five elderly lawyers shall
say that the thirty-nine men who
signed the Constitution of 1887 in
tended or did not intend? Such a
system of governing is no whit bet
ter than the augers of old who induced
the people to acquiesce in the will OF
those in power by telling from the
flight of birds or inspection of the
entrails of fowls whether the gods
were propitious or not to any meas
ure proposed"
Justice Clark favored the election of
United States Senators by the peo-
pie, the election of Justices of the
Supreme Court, and of many Federal
officeholders. For instance, postmas-
ters, who now are appointed nomin-
ally by the President, but really by
the party bosses, he said

PRISONERS FORM
AN ABLE FACULTY
Educational Work Done al
Sing Sing.

SING SING, N. Y, Nov. 26.-(Spe-
ciaD-The departure for Auburn
this week of Philetus M. Heller closes
a chapter of much interest in edu-
cational work being done under State
auspices for convicts in New York's
penal institutions. Mr. Heller has
introduced among the 1920 or more
prisoners here a very complete edu-
cational course, ranking rather above
the grammar grades and below the
high school courses, in the higher
limits.
1t was surmised that there would be
some difficulty in finding willing
and competent corps of instructors
among the prisoners, inasmuch as
several educated ones who were APP
preached declined on the ground that
it would require too much mental re-
freshing to make themselves compe-
tent teachers of those needing the
more elementary instruction.
A faculty of nine members was
finally obtained, and it is noteworthy
that all are college graduates. The
Dean of the Faculty is a Cambridge.
England man, while one of the mem
bers is an Oxford man; Columbia
has three representatives, Cornell
one, and smaller colleges account
for others in their catalogues. Both
the Cambridge and Oxford men are
serving sentences for forgery, a va
riety of crime which seems to APP
peal to the educated. Others of the
Faculty are serving time for similar
offenses.
Forgery has a close rival in perjury
it is stated and, in the consultations
with prisoners preliminary to the es-
Establishment of the new educational
features, the greatest surprise was
expressed by New York City con-
victs that more prominent offenders
in this respect had not been sent up
from the metropolis.

BAZAR HAS OPENED IN
A BLAZE OF BEAUTY
Success Well Assured in
Advance.

In maze of pretty and artistically
arranged booths presided over by
beautiful young ladies and charming
matrons, the annual bazar of the Hos
pital Association opened yesterday
undeE brightest auspices, to continue
through the week.
Indeed, so successful was the be-
ginning that the complete success of
the occasion would seem fully assur-
ed in advance.
And a week of social gaiety is thus
promised Americas.
The decorations Throughout the
large auditorium are unusually at
tractive, while upon either side is
arranged the pretty booths for the
sale of fancy goods, dolls, CONNECTIONS
and everything that would appeal
to the heart feminine.

Amendment Difficult

The Constitution of 1887 prescribes
that amendments shall only be pro
posed by a two-third vote in Con-
gress or by two-thirds of the States.
and then must be ratified by three
fourths of the States.
This is an impossible requirement.
since with our forty-six States, at
least thirty-six must ratify an amend
ment, and the great corporations can
always nullify any amendment they
do not like by obtaining bare ma
iority of the Legislature in but clever
States.
The result is that amendments
have been made and are possible only
as the President sees fit by appealing
to the five lawyers who compose a
majority Of the Supreme Court to
construe' the Constitution Is this
to- be always the case?

OF SHOW
VERY GRATIFYING

Much satisfaction was expressed
yesterday at the financial as well as
meritorious success attending the pre-
sentation of the pretty comedy "In
No Mans Land on Monday evening
as a feature of the bazar. Something
more than $50 was realized, after all
incidental expenses were paid. Mrs.
Marshall Martin had the management
of the play and to her as well as those
participating is due credit for the
great success achieved.

New York banks are said to be
nearly ready to resume cash pay
ments as in normal times. The large
importation of gold and the issuance
Of bonds and certificates by the Gov
eminent have aided in the return of
confidence. Interior banks will be
acting wisely if they deposit less in
the New York banks, after the power
ful object lesson they have just had.

Congressman Hobson is to intro

Confederate Veterans. His idea is to
have an amount paid equal to the
difference between the amount paid
by each Southern state to its vet

sioners. While the measure may not
win. it is gratifying to note in pass

Fine Dinners Are Served

And to all is added that greater
attraction which touches the mascu-
line heart-the cafe.
There pretty young girls preside at
dainty tables, laden with the choicest
viands. Good dinners have ever been
a feature of the annual bazars, and
this time, as heretofore, the ladies'
are serving the most tempting meals
both dinners and suppers.
Delicious turkey, barbecued pig
salads, etc, are staple dishes at the
daily dinners, while oysters, quail,
cold turkey, possum and other dain-
ties make up the evening menu-one
calculated to tempt the gods.
The dinner today 10 to 2 o'clock
will be the very best, while the
Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow will
be unsurpassed and altogether I'M
approachable.
Every family in town should dine
there on Thanksgiving.
The Program Last Night
Before 8 o'clock last evening the
hall was filled to the capacity point
1t was the first bazaar night and it
really seemed that all of Americas
was in attendance. Every seat was
filled while standing room, as usual
was at premium.
There were many attractive fea-
lures presented, that of greatest in
terest perhaps, being the musical con
cert arranged and directed by Prof
E. H. Mcneil andein which some of
the best talent in the city took part
Many suppers were served last
night, the sale of articles from the
booths was large and altogether the
ladies were highly pleased.
The Program For Today
The doors will be opened this
morning at 9 o'clock for the sale
of articles from the booths. Lunches
will be served with dinner from II
to 2 o'clock. At o'clock there will
be an entertainment in which thirty
children will take part.
Supper this evening served from
Z o'clock will be a feature as well.
At o'clock the Harvest Home"
will be presented, eighteen pretty and
dainty little "harvesters" taking part.
And a glance at the array of names
assures the harvesting of more mas
culine hearts than of grain. This
will be a very pretty feature.
AS a second part 'The Young Old
Maids" who are not the real Ameri-
Gus spinsteretical aciduous article of
prehistoric vintage, will be exhibited
charming little damsels all and well
calculated to put their elder sisters
out of business.
The bachelors are especially urged
to take the risk of humiliation before
the battery of scintillating orbs and
attend in full force. Miss Niles and
her splendid orchestra will have
charge of the musical program.

New York. Oct. Testimony
tia, railroads purchased their lubri.
eating oils from the Standard OF
company At prices that Sere higher
than those Of its competitors ~ere
heard yesterday IN the federal suit
for the dissolution OF the so-called
oil trust. Philip Harrison, manager
OF the New York Lubricating com
pany, which was engaged in long
strife with the Standard In the lu-
bricating oil industry. was on the
witness stand all day, and testified
that though the products Of his com
pany had proven satisfactory to the
railroads and were sold at prices I'M
der the Standards figures. the rail-
roads declined 10 renew their con-
tracts with the New York Lubricat-
ing company
Mr.. Harrison said he was never
openly told by the railroad officials
why the contracts were not entered
into again. but he had well defined
idea OF the cause
Previous 10 1894. Mr.. Harrison
said the Vacuum Oil company manu-
featured lubricating oil. but that it
made agreements with the Standard
whereby ii turned all of its lubricat
ing business over TO the Galena Sig
nal Oil company, subsidiary of the
Standard. The witness said that his
company made a contract with the
Louisville and Nashville railroad in
1908 to supply the road with lubri-
eating Oil On the expiration of the
contract President Milton II. Smith
of the Louisville and Nashville re-
fused to renew it. but would give no
reason.
Mr.. Kellogg then placed in evil
dence the statement of the Galena
Signal Oil company showing that
the Louisville and Nashville at the
expiration of the contract with the
New York Lubricating company,
made a contract with the Galena at
a higher rate than that they paid the
New York company. Mr.. Harrison
said President Smith had stated in
letter that the oils of the New York
Lubricating company were entirely
satisfactory. Mr.. Harrison said that
the Galena agents went to President
Smith and told him that the Stand
ard was shipping a large quantity
of oil on the Louisville and Nashville
and that the road should give the
contract to the Galena.
