AN INSULTING PROPOSAL

WE HAVE treated the Abruzzi-
wv Elkins episode in a somewhat
whimsical spirit But there is
another aspect of the case, which has
been revealed by recent dispatches from
London, where the cockneys seem to be
better posted than innocent Americans
on the subject of American Internal
tional marriages. 1t is small wonder
that Papa Ellxins has been insisting that
everything with regard to his daugh-
ter's espousal to Abruzzi must be done
in American style, for there is not the
slightest doubt that the peerless Abruz-
ri, the representative of a naughty
italian family, has deliberately insulted
the Elkins family and the American
nation by proposing a MORGANATIC
MARRIAGE.
For the information of readers who
may not be we'll posted on this I'M
pleasant subject let us state what
morganatic marriage is. "Morganatic"
is "a term used of a kind of r-arriage
between a monarch OR MAN OF HIGH
RANK and a lady of INFERIOR
RANK who DOES NOT TAKE RANK
with her husband, the OFFSPRING
(sicl also holding an INFERIOR PO-
SITION"
So no! most noble lord duke snooks
of Abruzzi, it Is to this degradation
that you propose to submit your IN
FERIOR, the daughter of free born
American citizen?
'The fact that Abruzzi is a cousin of
a king, and a member of the house of
Savoy, is responsible for the present
diff1culty!"
II we were Senator Elkins, we are up
right and downright certain sure that
We would seize by the throat the mo
BILE" individual who mas dared make
improper proposals to our American
daughter, and we would punch the
scion of the noble house of Savoy until
you couldn't tell his head from an or
binary red cabbage.

THE SACRIFICE

Ted has left the jungle.
Ted has shot bear,
Teddy doesn't grumble now,
Gone is every care
There was a bear meeting
In the caney-brake--
What bear would give up his life
For the others sake?
One was found-a very
Winklereid of bears
Bidding good by to his kin,
Tearfully he fares
Where the hundred dogs are spread,
Where the reporters are
BY the thousands. where the guides
Deploy near and far.
Takes his stand resignedly,
Feels the speeding dart
From the mighty Teddy's gun
Pierce his ursine heart
Died he for his fellows;
Cashed his last chip in
Just to rid the canebrake
OF the fuss and din.
Gone reporters, guides and Ted,
Gone the dogs, and still
Are the days and still the nights,
But for whippoorwill,
Carnegie has medals struck
For the heroes bold;
But the bear--hls hero heart
Lies obscure and cold.

II EMOCRACY, which sooner or later
will be triumphant, has shown 1t
~ is broad gauge by accepting some
of President Roosevelt's proposed
measures and promising support to
them within constitutional limits"
Following are Roosevelt measures ap-
proved by the Democracy:
To compel publication of cam
paign contributions.
Prohibition of child labor in the
District of Columbia and the ter
ritories.
An employers liability law,
drawn to conform to the recent
decisions of the supreme court.
Federal liability to government
employees.
A law to prohibit the issuance
of injunctions without notice to
the party enjoined.
Removal of the tariff on wood
pulp and printing paper.
Imposition of federal charge
for every water power right
granted on navigable stream,
It should be noted that not one of
these reforms is not OF Democratic
suggestion or origin. 1t is only natural
that Democrats should promise to sup
port their own measures, even when
presented by a political party which
has mo use for" Democracy, although
it is always willing to avail itself of
the brains and labor of Democrats.
A party not in power is at disad-
vantage. Patriotism compels 1t to
make public its views with regard to
questions of the day even when it
knows that the party in power may
steal it's thunder. Benjamin Disraeli,
Lord Beaconsfeld, the most singularly
astute and successful imperialist poll
tlcian of the nineteenth century, insist
ed that in lands where popular cleo
tions were held to determine the control
of public offices the minority, or 1.-THE
opposition" as it is called in Britain,
was part of the government. Whether
recognized or not, this seems to be an
undeniable truth. and it was never
more apparent than now, when Repub-
licans not only take possession of in
dividual Democratic policies, but seize
whole Democratic programs. When
Roosevelt in a message makes public
acknowledgment of his and the ma
TONS great indebtedness to the Demo-
cratic party, we will believe that along
with a restoration of Americanism the
country is about to enjoy a restoration
of a concomitant of early American
ism, stately, polished, kindly, grand
old Virginia courtesy.

The Abarenda Is at Bradford, r. I.
The Buffalo, from San Diego for

The Sioux, from navy yard, New

Navy Notes
The commandment, navy yard, Bos-
ton, has been directed to place the Bir-
mingham in commission as soon as the
vessel has been accepted by the gov
eminent.
The commandant, navy yard, Ports
mouth, N. H., has Been directed to
place the Chester in commission as
soon as the vessel has been accepted
by the government.
Recent inventions brought to the at
tention of the navy department have
again brought to the fore the question
of permitting naval officers to patent
their inventions. The regulations as
they now stand are considered very I'M
satisfactory and congress appears will
ing to provide a remedy.
According to the present regulations
q naval officer who invents something
while performing his duties for the
government cannot In any way profit
by his own invention. The government
owns the invention. has the right to
patent it and is prohibited by law from
paying the inventor. This is considered
unsatisfactory because it discourages
inventions, and should an officer dis
cover a valuable invention he would be
tempted to resign from the navy in
order to take advantage of it. AS long
as he remains in the service he can
obtain no recompense, but by resigning
from the service he might easily have
q fortune in his grasp.
Another phase of the question which
is unsatisfactory is the difficulty in
ascertaining when a naval officer can
control an invention. If he invents
something in one line. such as ord
nance, while working for the govern
ment in some other line, such as steam
engineering or equipment, he has full
control of his invention 1T Is only II
the invention Is in line with the gov
eminent work he is following at the
time that he is deprived Of this privi-
lege.
