KNOX ON ROOSEVELT.
Jcfferson's Solemn Warning Against
Hero Worship.

In his speech at Yale law school on
June "a, Senator Knox fell into line
with the Democrats on the question
Of state rights. Several of his propo-
sitions are worth reproducing as tend
ing to show the drift Of public sentf-
ment away from the Roosevelt poll
cies back to the constitution and TO
the time-honored principle of strict
construction on which the Democratic
party was founded by Jefferson and
Madison. For instance, he said the
claim: THAT the congress Of the
United States has no general legisla-
tive powers, but only such specific
powers as are granted to it by the con-
stitution, is not an old~-fashioned and
exploded notion" and added: The
preservation of the constitution is not
committed to the federal judiciary
alone. 1t is the oath-bound obligation
of every legislative, judicial and ex-
ton; and it is the highest duty OF
private citizenship"
The whole speech Is a yelled at.
tack upon Roosevelt and his so-called
policies" 1t breathes, throughout, a
lack of confidence in the present ad-
ministration. The motive behind it
may, however, be suspected of being
insincere and selfish, since Knox is a
candidate for the presidency himself;
and, on general principles, we are
forced to doubt the good faith Of a
statesman who, while unfolding in his
practice the odious, %audacious, and
unconstitutional legislation of the
Republican party relating to the tariff,
colonialism and monopolies, yet pro-
fesses such doctrines as those enun-
ciated in his speech. We should with
hold our confidence from any such
man, as well as from the more spec
tacular and dashing gamester against
whom he is playing. For, as Jeffer-
son says:
1T would be a dangerous delusion,
were a confidence in the men Of our
choice to silence our fears for the
safety of our rights. Confidence is
everywhere the parent of despotism.
Free government is founded in jeal-
ousy, and not in confidence. 1t is
jealousy, and not confidence, which
prescribes limited constitutions to
bind down those whom we are obliged
TO trust with power. Our constitution
has accordingly fixed the limits to
which, and no further, our confidence
may 60" And on the same occasion
Jefferson denounced the protective
tariff system to which Knox is ever
more firmly attached than Roosevelt,
as one which goes to the destruction
of the limits prescribed to the power
of congress by the constitution; and
concluded by saying: "In questions OF
power, then, let no more be heard
of confidence in man, but bind him
down from mischief by the chains OF
the constitution"
This Jeffersonian doctrine respect
ing overcOnf1dence in men applies no
less forcibly to Mr.. Knox than to any
other man. 1t applies to all public
men. 1t is as much a part Of the
Democratic creed as the doctrine of
home rule or taxation for revenue
only.

The favorable impression which
Japanese make upon people of other
nations is largely due to their cour-
tesy, good manners, and the taste they
display in doing the most ordinary
things. When the crews of the JAP
anese warships, which lately visited
New York, were allowed shore liberty,
they had their choice between spend
ing the day on the Bowery, the delight
of every sailors heart, and visiting
Grants tomb. They went to the tomb.
Is there any other nation the sailors
of which would use their shore leave
in paying their respects to a national
hero of the people they were visiting?

John Nicholas Brown, who is DOM.
monty mentioned as the ten-million-
dollar baby by the New York papers,
is now ten years old and rebels
against having the dollar attached to
him. The youngster is quoted as say
ing to his playmates: "Quit calling
me that, will you! I'm just a plain
kid like you. l want to get out and
play ball and have a good time," he
went on; these old nurses chasing
me around make me tired. I'm going
to kick about it and get rid of them"
This indicates that something worth
while is to be expected of young
Brown.

interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between

death and payments made to living

claims were $11,1S0,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur,

$10,4S0,135. Modern life insurance, as

JUDGE GIVES ADVICE.
Dispute Between Two Young People
Adjusted in Court.

When Judge Mullowny was called upon
in the Police Court this morning to de-
eide dispute between young man and a
girl he gave them some advice, and some
one suggested that it was "reveries Of a
bachelor on his honor's part. The judge
admitted 1t.
Edward Mcfarland, young man Of APP
parent refinement, was charged with the
larceny of a ring from Maud Crawford.
The testimony of Miss Crawford was to
the effect that, when Mcfarland was call
ing on her. he asked to see the ring and
that she passed it to him for inspection.
He refused to return it, she said, after be-
ing asked to do so, and the charge of
larceny resulted.
You thought the girl loved you but she
doesn't" commented his honor. You
also thought you could keep the ring. l
have heard of girls keeping rings and pins
belonging to fellows, but l never heard
of fellows keeping girls rings before
Following this comment his honor read
letter alleged to have been written by
the girl to Mcfarland.
Don't you ever write another letter like
that to a fellow continued the bachelor
judge. Il am going to see you or die, y
the judge read. That puts you in his
power and you must not do it."
Judge Mullowny ordered that the per-
sonal bonds of the defendant be taken, but
Interrupted the clerk to say:

this young man on a thing like this. Dis

Describes Yellowstone Park.

1.-The Yellowstone Park was the subject
taken by Mr.. Frank Hogan for an illus
trated stereopticon lecture given last evening
at Carroll Institute Hall before large at
tendance. During the course of his talk,
which was illustrated by some excellent
pictures, Mr. Hogan spoke particularly of
the geysers of the park. The beautiful
cascades and other scenes of natural beauty
in the park also received attention, the
lecturer declaring that nowhere in the
world are their equals to be found. The
beautiful roads of the national park were
also commented upon.
Mr. Hogan's description of the giant
geyser and the lesser ones was very inter
esting. In the craters of these geysers, he
stated, water is at all times boiling, and
which ever and anon spout water into the
air from - to go feet in height. The lee
turer recited that while he was standing
near the giant watching the water boil for
a moment the peculiar sounds which tell
clearly that the geyser is about to spout
were heard and after the members of the
party had scurried out of range of possible
hot liquid thrown upward distance OF over
800 feet
The lakes of the park were also spoken of
at length and Mr.. Hogan stated that some
of the coored liquids of the boiling lava
lakes had been used as paint upon the sides
of the hotels OF the vicinity and had proved
to be much more durable than any paint
that could have been used
