Ed. Appeal:
| have read your columns tally for
some expression of opinion regarding
the present female attaches of the
present Legislature. l have visited
Carson every session for ears and
desire to state that never in all my
life saw such beautiful bunch Of
female brains and beauty as can De

1t seems to me that a paper report
ing the general news of the day for
the capitol CT the state should have
made some note of this circumstance.
Yours.
/ A BACHELOR.
/ The Appeal desires to tender its
apologies 10 its correspondent for the
oversight. A man who does not live
/ in Carson City the year round is apt
to get unduly excited at the sudden
burst of female lovliness that con
fronts him.
A man who lives regularly in Car
son City gradually gets accustomed to
seeing beautiful women all the while.
While we are not prepared to dis.
pute the assertion that the present
female attaches of the legislature are
a, little more fetching than usual we
assure our correspondent that after
the novelty wears off he will quie,
down and not rush ito print

The American Watch Trust.

President Roosevelt declined to ac-

his las a demonstration of the methods
of the American watch trust" tn
watch was purchased in England of Il
dealer who had paid the American
watch trust sos for ii and would have
cost an American dealer $l0.5S. Thus
does the tariff protect the trust AMI
the English buyer and lax the purchaS

Word comes from Texas that while
Senator CulbersOn is in no sense can
didaJe for the floor leadership of the
democrats i'll the senate. Vet he would
accept that difficult place should his
democratic colleagues unite in his cleo
ton. Meanwhile several of Senator
CulbeTson's friends in Washington and
other parts of the country are continu
ing quietly TO sound the party Leaders
on his availability as presidential ma
terial in 1908.
While this is legitimate politics. il
will probably be futile. as the rank and
file of the party north and south seem
to have settled that question for them
selves. and unless Mr.. Bryan Should
interpOse a veto there is no maneuver>
by party leaders or anything else that
can prevent his nomination for presl
dent in 1908.

The certainty that Illinois will co
