might mention them individually.
but it is hardly necessary at this
time. While there has been no com
bined effort on the part of its friends
to lend that substantial aid that it
so much needed in the beginning,
1t has done remarkably well. To
those who have given their encour-
agement We wish to return our
thanks and let them know that we
appreciate their kind counsel. The
indications are that its future will
be much brighter than its past, and
that soon much improvement will be
made in it's general makeup and

PRESIDENT SIDESTEPS

TAYLOR'S PROTESTS NEEDLESS
AS pHE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
HASN'T TIME TO STOP.

President Roosevelt has "side-
stepped" the invitation to attend the
fair of the Ohio Colored Educational
and Agricultural Association at Co
lumbus. He told Representative
Taylor, of Ohio, that his engage
ments would prevent his accepting
Mr.. Taylor called with a large bunch
OF letters and telegrams from prom
inent persons throughout Ohio, in
which he was urged to dissuade the
President from going to the fair, be-
cause the exhibition is said to be
nothing more nor less than a cloak
for the operation of a crowd of
gamblers. Vice President Fairbanks
was their guest last year, and it is
charged that the crowd that came
to see and hear him was robbed in
the most open manner by a number
OF light-fingered sharks who had
concessions within the grounds.
When Mr.. Taylor called with his
protesting letters the President said
he did not wish to see them, because
he had already decided that it would

A COMPARISON
WHICH Is NOT FLATTERING TO
THE LAWYER.


Thos p. Peters editor of the
Brooklyn Daily Times, in an ad-
dress in the Hanson Place Baptist
Church, Brooklyn, made a COMPARE
son of journalism with other pro-
fessions, during which he said:
Compare journalism with medi.
cine. 1t is as honest. 1t is as intel
ligent 1t is more accurately judged
by the public than is the doctor.
Compare it with the church.
journalism is far more logical. Sure
ly, even you people here must ad-
nit that
"Out of respect to journalism. I
dislike\ to compare my profession
with law. OF all the professions the
law has the lowest morals. OF all
professions It stands readiest to sell
its ability to the criminal and the
scoundrel. Almost one-half of the
pracucing lawyers are continually
striving to teach men how either to
escape the consequences of improp-
er acts or how they may with i'm
punity break into laws, and still re.
main without the grasp of the law
Newspapers are often charged with
venality but the legal profession 4.
largely venal, and, worst of all. the
fault is not regarded as a fault in
the eyes of the members Of that
profession
Take the now famous Thaw
case Prominent lawyers are hired
for large fees to seek to protect that
young degenerate from the conse.
quences of the life he has led. His
act was not an incident by itself: II
was but the elimination OF his course
since childhood.
What would be thought Of q
newspaper that for money would use
IT'S columns to- protect so vile a
creature? Yet the learned lawyer.
iu the case will be onyied by their
fellows, and viii I'm no way be re-.
garded as bringing disgrace upon
the legal profession"

HOW TOM CORWIN
GOT AN EDUCATION

His father felt that he was too
poor to make scholar of more than
one child of his large family. and
so the elder brother, Matthias, was
kept at school and Thomas placed
at hard work on the farm.
The breaking of leg proved a
happy incident in the life of the boy.
as the enforced connnemest gave
him time for devotion to his beloved
books, and he committed a Latin
grammar to memory. Upon his re-
covery he again importuned his faith
er to send him TO school and meet
ing a refusal, deliberately broke his
leg the second time, that he might
have leisure for study. His heroic
determination to learn resulted in
his being placed in the same insti-
tutios attended by his brother, where
his natural ability and great indus
try gathered a thorough knowledge
of the best English literature and
a fair acquaintance with the Latin
classics.--Ohio Magazine.

1t is a commonplace that the pas
sage OF time and the stern teachings
OF experience have brought great
WEAKNESS regarding the purchase Of
the Philippine islands from Spain
All the arguments which were used
to consumate and to defend that

It is coming to be more and more
recognized that the people OF the
United States would like to let go
OF the Philippines in the manner
best calculated to save our face"
