The news that Congressman Graft
has attached himself to the Cannon
boom Immediately on his return from
Honolulu is reminder that there are
several sorts Of Republicans In ILL.,
nois.
Our Uncle Josephus has done moth
Ing but saw wood since the Illinois Re
publican convention Of last year anoint-
ed him rs Its favorite son, but private
advices report him still to be the most
dat-footed of standpatters on the Ding
ley platform.
Mr.. William E. Mason, on the other
hand, has been talking some Of late,
and his remarks have not been encour-
aging to the Dingley cult.
1t would be hard to say whether the
old-line Republicans ofIlllnols set more
store by Senator Cullom or by the gen.
tleman from Danville, who enjoys the
distinction Of having gagged the House
Of Representative in two Congresses.
And yet Senator Cullom anG Speaker
Cannon are rs wide apart as the poles
on the question of what their party
ought to do about Dingley. What's the
matter with the Republican party of
Illinois that 1t cannot get together on
this interesting subject ?-Exchange.

Treaty. Rights and State Rights.
The Board Of Police Commissioners
Of San Francisco have taken steps to
test the question whether the Federal
government can make binding treaty
whose provisions encroach upon the po-
lice powers of state. 1t refused to
grant to two Japanese subjects permits
to keep intelligence offices in San Fran
cisco. The Japs claimed that such re-
fusal was violation of their treaty
rights. The board denies that they
can have any treaty right in derogation
of the States reserved powers. That Is
a sound Democratic position.

Republicans Refuse investigation

Republicans Refuse investigation.
Many newspaper have suppressed the
fact that the Republicans in the New
York State Senate blocked the passage
Of resolution providing for an investi-
CATION Of the charges made against
Roosevelt by Judge Parker and E. H.
Hartman, concerning the Republican
campaign fund of 1904. But such is the
fact.
The resolution recited that reports,
inspired by the promoters of corporate
interests In New York distinctly charge
that the managers of the Republican
campaign of 1904, solicited and accept
ed large contributions of money from
corporations, with the understanding
that President Roosevelt and the ma
tional government should, in consider
alton thereof, grant certain concessions
and favors to those who furnished the
money; and declared that it is the duty
Of the State Legislature to investigate
and prove the truth or falsity of such
reports, in the interest Of public morals
and good citizenship. 1t then provid-

ToMMY's DILEMMA.

H
A Sunday school teacher was trying
to make clear to his class of small
boys the fundamental doctrines Of the
Declaration of Independence. Now,
Glass;" he said, 81 will give to each
of you three buttons. Here they are.
You must think of the first one as
Life; of the second one as Liberty;
of the third one as the Pursuit of
Happiness. Next Sunday l shall ask
you each to produce your three but
tons and tell me what they represent"
The following Sunday the teacher
said to one of the boys: Tommy,
produce your three buttons and tell
me. what they stand for" -
II amt gotten ALL" sobbed Tommy,
holding out two of the buttons.

full report thereon. There was a mo-
ton for Its adoption; but objection
was made, and 1t was referred to the
Committee on Finance by Senator
Raines, who was acting as President
OF the Senate.
Now, is there any reason why the
truth should not be ferreted out In re-
spect to the connection Of Roosevelt and
Cortelyou with the scandalous doings
of the corporations in 1904? As Mr..
Roosevelt's party friends control the
Legislature, If he fails to demand such
an Investigation, it will Impress the
voters with the fact Of the corruption
that existed In his campaign.

SHEEP AND WOLF.

Tear piece of paper into as many
pieces as there are players, and on
each piece write some number repre-
senting an hour in the day. AS there
are only twelve hours. there can be
only twelve numbers, but II more than
twelve are playing you can make some
of the numbers half hours until there
is the required amount.
On one piece mark a cross and
then shake all the numbers in hat,
each player drawing one cut. The
one who gets the slip with-,the cross
on it is 'It," or the Wolf" while
the other players are called the
Sheep"
A ring is then formed by the sheep,
the wolf standing in the middle. The
sheep then call out, What time will
you dine tonight, old wolff" and Mr..
Wolf calls out any hour he happens
to think of. The sheep then who
holds the slip corresponding to the
number called by the wolf starts to
run. II he can get around the ring
three times before being caught by
the wolf he is safe; If not, he must
be "wolf." The game keeps up until
all have had their turn at being "wolf"
and this does not take long, for the
wolf is not supposed to call the same
number twice.-Washington Star.

his prospective bride new pair OF
shoes and they hurt her feet wofully.
She wore them about an hour or SO
while shopping, but her feet hurt her
SO badly she pulled off the shoes and
went in her stocking feet to the court
house, where in the presence of the
entire court house delegation and a
score or more OF lookers-on she stood
in pair of striped stockings and
said the VOWS.
