went down so rapidly as nearly to break

and the crocuses realized that they had
been impulsive and precipitate.
However. all this is but trite recital
of well-known facts. Our only purpose
in referring at this time TO the disgrace

attention to the far-reaching results such
conduct naturally would have II the
theory Of the Chicago scientists be ae-
cepted.
''The cold spell. following the warm
weather, is responsible for a feeling of
great unrest and nervousness, says
Prof Cox; while DR.. Meyer declares that
the change in the weather causes brain
storms to burst"
We believe that these statements clear
up certain singular developments which
have puzzled many in the recent past.
and we repeat, therefore, that Messrs.
Cox and Meyer are entitled to the thanks
Of the entire country.

Beneaciaries of the Tariff.

From the Norfolk Yrgiuian- Pilot.
The aggregate revenue accruing to the
government last year from impost duties
was a little upward of $4,000, goo: the adj
ditional profits which the tariff placed
into the pockets of the protected pro-
dueers, over and above what they would
have received had their products not re-
ceived prohibitve protection, amounted.
at q conservative estimate, TO 81, 900, 000, 900.
That is, for every dollar which the tariff
placed in the public Treasury it put I'VE
into the pockets of the men whose already
swollen fortunes, Mr.. Roosevelt tells us.
a menace to the country and
the nation What more convincing evil
dence than that contained in these figures
is needed TO demonstrate the fact that
our tariff policy is not in the interest Of
the nation at large, bat in that Of a few
protected interests?

Nir- Richard Mansfield

The continued and long-drawn-out illness
of Mr.. Richard Mansfield, perhaps the
most eminent actor on the American stage
to-day, is very much to be regretted
Especially are the words Of his physician
discouraging, coupled as they are with
the statement that Mr.. Mansfield must not
return to the stage at all. if he expects
to enjoy a long lease of life.
He is little more than one great bundle
of nerves" said the doctor. He IS said
TO be strong. muscular. but most of that
physical strength was built on nerves
The wonder is that he did not collapse
months earlier this season
Mr.. Mansfield is not the greatest actor
this country ever knew. He is not an
artist capable of expressing any great
depth of feeling. But in some of his
work, especially as Beau Brummel and
Baron Cheyrial. he is not approached by
any contemporary artist
1t is TO be hoped thai his condition is
not such as his physicians fear. Further,
it is TO be hoped that he will give himself
exclusively and unreservedly to the bust
ness of getting well. even though it in
volve Il temporary retirement. The
American stage cannot spare Mans
field. There is no one in sight to I'LL his
unique sphere, His complete recovery
would give the American people the great
est pleasure.

If Not a Third Term. the senate ?

Golfers Weekly is the last publication
to become excited over the disposition 10
be made of President Roosevelt after
1903. It only redeems itself by admitting
that the question would be a converse
tional bromide '1f it We're not so interest
ing" Speaking for itself, it suggests
merely as one possibility" it is careful
10 eXDlaiG-that he be sent to the Senate
from New York And with view 10 as
certaining how the present Senators would
like to have him member of their club.
the Weekly submitted the query TO ali Of
them and asked for replies.
"A good many of them didn't care to
express an opinion, for perfectly good rea-
sons. the Weekly tells US, and then pro-
.ceeds to print the answers received from
the ten whose answers seemed most i'm
portant and interesting" The ten are
Messrs. Hopkins. Warren, Newlands, Per-
kins, Glapp. McCumber, Rayner, Hey
burn, TiIlman, and Nelson.
Three of the ten are Democrats. and.
naturally. their statements will attract
most attention. Here is Mr.. TIlman's
comment:

what kind of man they ought 70 send to represent
them in the Senate. If President Roosevelt, after
his retirement from the White House should be
elected Senator, it would be a revelation to him as
to what kind Of body the Senate is. and also to
the country as to what kind Of a man he is"
Mr.. Rayner's reply is distinctly compI-
mentary to the President. In my judg-
ment," says the Marylander, "he would

am not speaking about the political sit
uation in reference to his case, but solely
of his great ability and wonderful re-
sources
Mr. Newlands' view is similar. IF the
Republican party continues in power. It is
essential that it should be democratized. -
he writes. "Mr. Roosevelt is a valuable
factor In this work, and believe his serv-
ice in the Senate would be important in
rescuing it from its inertia and con-
servatism, so protective of existing
abuses.
Without exception. the Republican Sen
ators express the opinion that the Presf-
dent should be sent to the Senate when
he leaves the White House. Some of them
are unnecessarily demonstrative. for rea-
sons which, doubtless, are quite obvious

was once called in question by President
Roosevelt Mr. Whitney, discussing the
enormous profits which the steel trust
was enabled to make by reason OF the
protective tariff, alluded to the defeat of
the Lowering drawback bill, which was
intended to admit certain foreign ma
terials free of duty if used for manu-
features destined for the export trade.
Mr.. Lowering attributed the defeat of his
bill to certain industrial combinations OF
great influence" which secretly used
their power to defeat tariff legislation.
Mr. Whitney, in his address, declared
that he had reasons for believing that Mr.
Lowering referred to "a letter written by
one of the vice presidents of the United
States Steel Company to Mr.. Dalzell, OF
the Ways and Means Committee. advising
him that 1t was not in the interest of the
steel company that the drawback bill
should pass, and directing him to stop
any further discussion of the bin" MI
Whitney further asserted that in conse-
quence of this letter the bill did not pass

stated by Mr.. Whitney, one corporation

The FnnIt of the lYeather.

To Prof Henry J. Cox, head OF the
Chicago weather bureau. and DR.. Harold
n. Meyer aIenist, Of that city, the
thanks of the entire country are due for
"a most interesting discovery Crime has
been unusually rampant in the city by
the unsalted sea recently. and the two
men named-eminent scientists, the vera
clous one who tells Of their exploit calls

which enable them TO declare that the

GHOST OR SPECTER?

Conspiracy.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Now, was there any dinner, anyway? If
there was a dinner. did anybody say any
thing? Did the revelation OF a conspiracy
against the President and his policies come
from ghost? Did the ghost appear the
next day to q specter and lift the curtain
by daylight without the walnuts and the
wine? Did the specter go to the White
House and whisper 10 the PRESIDENT Did
the President know the speCter and did
the sDecter know the ghost?
In short, were all the correspondents
seized with a sudden epidemic of mad
ness? Or was the White House the victim
OF strange and mysterious delusion?

ect Come from Philadelphia.
From tie Philadelphia Press.
Baltimore announces an exposition for
1914 to celebrate the centennial Of The
Star-Spangled Banner" Something Of the
kind was bound TO come. Baltimore is the
only one of the large cities that has never
had an international exhibition. but
sooner or later il was certain 10 catch
the fever. II would be a good thing if
there We're a little more patience in these
matters and little longer time between
expositions, but when city with any
kind of enterprise once eatr the eXpOSi-

Il pretty big undertaking, even If the ma
tional government should throw in
large part of IT, as 1t viii be asked TO do
without doubt The only exposition that
ever got through without a government
contribution was the big Centennial SHOW
in this city ia 1876 But help or no help
we shall wish Baltimore good luck. II is
an enterprising and solid town that viii
be certain to carry through with brilliant
success anything it undertakes.

1t is pretty clear that those who buy

Color Problem in Washington.

From the Omaha Bee.
The problem is troublesome one, with
small promise of solution so far as gov
eminent employment IS concerned. The
government is pledged by constitutional
amendments TO recognize no race or color
distinctions in American citizenship or
rights, and so long as the negro can pass
the civil service examinations the door of
Federal employment is open to him.
Practical demonstration Of this fact may
have the effect of curing some of the
young men and women of the country Of
their deIuded notion thai a government

tons open 10 those seeking clerical en-
DiOvment

Error of Presidents Enemies.

From the Boston Transcript.
It seems 10 us that the Presidents op-
ponents have made mistake ia not com

hope to wrest the control of the party
from his hands. by bringing TO pass in
1903 the nomination Of a man more suited
to their tastes. This would be a legiti-
mate endeavor to which no reasonab BILE
person could take exception. II would
be nothing for any men To apologize for.

are doubtless exaggerated and fanciful

Then he goes on to assert that among the
