 ploit the wealth of the country through control of Congress, the Presidency and State Legislatures. These men and the corporations they control were back oi Roosevelt in 1904. He begged and i'm plored them to support him. They did support him and he proceeded after his election to betray them as no body of men were, ever betrayed in the his. tory of the politics of the United States. He turned upon them as q gang of thieves and plunderers. We have never felt able to admire him for doing as he did. We are glad enough at the prospect of seeing the hold oi these spoilers broken and at the same orable in the President to have de. ceived them as he did, Naturally theS have never forgiven him and never will. They hate him with an abiding hatred. They fear him of course with an abiding fear. They will try to save their old organization and main- tain 1t to carry out old purposes Pennsylvania and Knox of Pittsburs offer them as they deem it aschance to save themselves from a threatened to. tai shipwreck. VIII they succeed?
 Really nothing could be more idle than this attempt to re-estabiish the old Republican Party in power. De. spise the President as we may, he has made the old Republican Party of Payne, Dalzell and Grosvenor, of Aid rich. Spooner and Knox an impossible ity in this country. Those men and their followers chose to put Roosevelt at the helm; he has turned their boat over. Senator Knox may hope to go into the convention with a sufficient support to compel the nomination of a representative of the old plunder gang of the Republican party; he will cer- tainly fail. We have our serious doubts whether Roosevelt actually wants Taft nominated; as likely as not he will procure his own nomination; that he will control the convention seems as assured as that there will be a convention.
 We have seen nowhere any attention called to a notable incident bearing on the relations of the President and Sem ator Knox, wherein the Senate was called in by the Senator to hear his statement. It was during the rate bill contest. The press dispatches on one day contained what purported to be the views of Senator Knox on the fun damentai questions at issue. From his place in the Senate he declared no one had been authorized to make such a statement In his behalf: that no one had had an opportunity to pretend even to speak for him except one person al whose instance and request he had sub mitted a confidential memorandum on the subject; that what had been given out was a gross distortion of the con- tents of the memorandum he had fur nished that one individual There was plain intimation that the President had played slippery trick on him. This is mentioned to hint the two men probably know one another fairly well and that there is no love lost between them.

Cives Credit to women.

Dr. Max Lederer, of Prague. who was sent to the United States by the minister of justice of Austria to make a study of American juvenile courts. in an elaborate report on the subject gives high praise to the institution. which he says owes its existence to the efforts of women who realized that nothing worse could happen to child than to be thrown in direct con- tact with criminals of mature years" He advocated the establishment of similar courts in Austria. If we are to have these courts" he said. i've need not wait until the state creates them because the funds are lacking. There should be az reat and concerted mpve- ment. The citizens of Vienna, where the first of these courts should be established, would do right if they would devote to the cause a part of their income in certain day. The court could then be established and it's benefits would soon become appar- ent"

New RertiIlon Test.


 M. Bertfllon, the chief of the in- telligence department of the Paris de- tective service. who is known as the initiator of the system of identifica- ton of criminals by finger prints.. has perfected an apparatus which 1t Is hoped will greatly help in the problem of the Identification of arrested criminals. M Bertillon has the prisoner or the body flor the system is also to be used to aid In the Identification of the dead photographed lying full length on a table. with the head slightly raised. The camera, in which is a special com bihation lens invented by M. Bertil- Ions assistant, M. Berthiot, is placed directl yabove the object to be photo graphed and at a certain fixed dis tance. By means of a delicate ap- paratus the distance from the lens to an imaginary plane level with a point half way between the orifice of the ear and the corner of the eye is meas ured, and from this distance is reck- oned the scale of the photograph-the number of times smaller than the orig inal. The photograph when used in comparison with a suspect is placed in an apparatus which is almost the exacu reverse of the camera. It is placed at a given distance from the lens, and at the same time a transparent scale is moved into focus on the same plane. Reading on this scale. the detective Is able to establish the exast measure ment of the features of the prisoner.

A TREE OF ILL REPUTE.
The Fresh Juice of the Upas Acts ns
 Deadly Poison.

An evil reputation has long been borne by the upas tree, AAtiaris toXi- caria, which grows in Borneo and oth- CT East Indian islands It is still common belief that birds flying with in the influence of it's poisonous va DOTS instantly perish and that it is fla tai for animals or men to rest be- meath it's shade It resembles certain rhus plants 0ike the poison ivy) in emitting a volatile substance which affects the skins of certain suscepti- ble persons, though others are unaf- fected. The sap is very poisonous and is the chief substance used by the Dyaks of Borneo for poisoning the tips of their darts.
 In this process an incision is made fin the bark of the tree and the milky emulation collected on a palm leaf and dried first in the sun and then over fire until a thick brown mass is left. Tn this state it can be kept without deteriorating, and when re- Qulred for use it is made into a thin paste with the juice of tuba" root, which is used to stupefy fish, or with tobacco or lemon juice, and the ends of the darts dipped into the mixture and dried. These darts are made from the middle stem of the palm leaf and are about six or eight inches in length and of about the thickness of knitting needle.
 They are used with wooden sumpi- tan, or blowpipe, which is about seven or eight feet in length and has an in- ternal diameter of about one-quarter inch. A bird struck by one of these little darts Is instantly killed, and a pig dies in about twenty minutes. The fresh juice of the upas tree, whether swallowed or injected into the blood, acts as violent poison, causing convulsions and death.-Chi- cago News.
