preservation to learn enough about the subject to tell

NOT TO ANSWER BRYAN.
President Roosevelt "Flagged" by
Party Leaders.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 30.-After
having exhausted the dictionary for
phrases in which to cxcoriate William
]. Bryan, Senator Foraker, Gov. Has
kell and any one else in whose direc-
ton his fancy led him. President
Roosevelt has suddenly arrived at the
determination not to indulge in per-
sonalties any longer This announce
ment was made at the White House
today, and it caused a broad smile all
along the line The exact wording
of the White House announcement
was as follows:
Secretary Loeb stated today that
the President felt that inasmuch as
the Bryan letter was simply an attack
upon him personally, there was no
reason why he should answer it.
The real cause for the Presidents
change of front is said to be based on
diplomatic hint from national head
quarters in New York that it would be
well for him to hold himself in leash,
if possible, for while. 1t is under
stood that many kilograms and letters
have been received there in the last
few days from men interested in the
success of Judge Taft, suggesting that
the President stood to hurt the noml-
nee's chances by the mud-sllng1ng
campaign he had inaugurated and sug-
costing that he pursue a course more
in accord with the dignity of his office.
The feeling generally expressed here
today was that the President was
wise without reference to what sug-
gestions may have reached him from
New York, not to attempt to reply
to the Bryan letter. That communica-
ton was so strong, dignified and to
the point that Mr.. Roosevelt would
have had difficulty in meeting the ar
gument put forth by the Nebraskan.
In view of the moderate, yet convinc-
ing tone adopted by Mr.. Bryan, the
declination of the President to reply
on the ground that it was IAN attack
upon him personally excited some
amusement.

Going Some.

There is &. whole lot of satisfaction
in driving a horse that will not allow
any old thing to come along and throw
dust in your face, and Walter Sullivan,
of Hampstead, enjoys this satisfaction.
One day last week he took a notion
to go to Hanover fair and hitching up
his little bay mare, he started from
He mpstead just as the $50 trsin was
pulling out He did not think of racing
with the train but let the little girl cut
to comfortable gait and when he got
to Hanover, those who had taken the
train at Hampstead were just stepping
from the platform &t
Was the mare hot and full of welts ?
Well l guess not She had not been
touched with whip and there was not
wet hair on her. She had just saunt-
cred up the pike at her usual gait

The Course of the Campaign.

Naturally the President is casting
about for something to do to the
Standard Oil. This is the most I'M
popular of Trusts, and the President
needs all the ec1at that can be eX-
tracted from pounding it. 1t was bad
enough when the Circuit Court Of APP
peals held up the great fine, but 1t is
still worse when his candidate for the
succession effects a dramatic recon
cilliation of Joseph Benson For
aker, who is disclosed few days later
as an employ of the Standard Oil.
Of course, it is simple thing for
Foraker to keep off the stump, but
that does not alter the fact that he is
Senator from Tafts state and a
candidate for reelection. The party
that is carrying Taft has got to carry
Foraker or else formally disown the
Senator, in which event his friends
would be pretty certain to knife the
national ticket.
The failure of Mr. Taft to make any
impression upon the public conscious
ness moves the Chicago News to say ::
'"The campaign of William Howard
Taft is being managed abominally. .
These ridiculous managers of Taft's
are trying to deprive him of his price
less possessions-the political enemies
he has made. They have succeeded in
attaching Foraker to him.
They have brought George Cox into
line.
The Commercial and Financial
Chronicle likes Mr.. Roosevelt very lit
tie, but it likes Mr.. Bryan less, and it
has entertained great hope of Mr.. Taft.
But it is growing discouraged. "Were
it not" it says, that Mr.. Taft and his
party are all the time repelling the al
legiance of conservative Republicans
we should think he could not be de-
feated. AS it is, political conditions
are every week getting to be more and
more mixed and cloudy" The course
of the President lis driving away from
the Taft followers the most conserva-
tive portion of the Republican party,
very many of whom are renOuncing
fealty to the old organization" In
other words, there is no conservative
candidate and real progressive like
Mr.. Bryan is drawing better than an
imitation like Mr.. Taft.

Didn't Lose Any Sleep.

Jenner, the famous English ply
stefan, was essentially a strong and
self reliant man. He attended the
prince consort through his fatal illness,
he was the Prince of Wales doctor
when the heir to the British throne
had so narrow an escape in 1872, and
he also went to Darmstadt and re-
manned in attendance upon the Prin-
cess Alice till she died. To practice
medicine in 'the fierce light that beats
upon throne" is not calculated to
lessen the physicians anxieties, and
one who knew Jenner well once ques-
toned him on this point and limited
that his responsibilities must some
times be sufficient to render sleep or
rest impossible.
"Sleep," replied Jenner in his char
acteristic way. 81 don't think that
anxiety about a patient ever kept me
awake five minutes in my life. go to
a bedside. I do my best. What more
can I do? Why should not Sleep?

HamIet's Bowl of Cruel.

George Melville, an old English &C
tor, was fond of telling funny story
at his own expense. He was acting
Hamlet in Bristol. 1t was the actors
rule to take bowl of Cruel in the
course of the evening, and his land
lady sent over the usual refreshment
from the lodgings in Queen square.
She happened to have a new serv-
ant girl, who was explicitly directed
to get to the stage door by the en-
trance from Bank street and then car
~ the cruel into the greenroom. She
arrived at moment when Mr.. Mel
vile was "on." Being unused to the
ways of the theater, she asked man
at the wings where Mr.. Melville was.
s'There,'' said the super, pointing to
the stage.
The actor was in the middle of the
soliIouuy 'To be OF not to be" when
the girl advanced toward him, bearing
the bowl, and said, eff you please, Mr..
Melville SIR here is your Cruel"

ELIOT ASSAILS TARIFF.
Says High Portion has Done Immeas-
urable Harm.

Prof. Charles W. Eliot, president Of
Harvard University, in a recent COM
munication to the Reform League of
New York, delivered a telling blow
to the high tariff system under which
the country is now suffering, and by
which the many are being robbed for
the benefit of the favored few. Prof.
Eliot's letter is a singing rebuke to
the system which builds up monopo-
lies and increases the cost of prod
ucts to the American consumer and
at the same time enables the trusts
created by the tariff to sell their goods
cheaper in foreign markets than at
home. His statements are particular
ly interesting in view of the fact, not
only that he is one Of the leading edu-
Gators and foremost economic scholars
in the country, but he is also the head
of the institution of which President
Roosevelt is a graduate, position
which it has been said President
Roosevelt would like to occupy at
some future time.
In part President Eliot says :
"The high tariff which has prevailed
in the United States since the Civil
War has done very little in the way
OF building up new industries, but it
has done IMMEASURABLE HARM
and is likely to do MORE AND MORE
HARM.
THAT the high tariff is not neces-
sary to the maintenance of American
standards of living appears clear from
the common practice of SELLING
AMERICAN GOODS in foreign coun-
tries at MUCH LOWER PRICES than
they are sold for in the United States
and yet AT A PROFIT.
eff the American people mean to
maintain their individual liberty in
industries, trades, commerce and
politics they must steadily defend
themselves against monopolies."

I'm afraid l shall have to ask your
assistance, Mr.. Hastings" said Kitty,
suddenly mindful of the fact that she
was speaking to Sam.
He helped her to a rock and care
fully cut away the shoe. Then with
the sleeves of his shirt he improyised
a bandage that brought relief and
noted with satisfaction that the sprain
seemed to be slight, since there was
little swelling.
"That will have to do until we can
get to town. he said as he rose to his
feet. Does it feel any easier, Miss
Norwood?"
Every much, thank you, Mr.. Has
tings."
Sam gritted his teeth and mentally
assured himself that when a fellow
takes the trouble to bind I'D a girls
ankle and sacrifices his very newest
and handsomest shirt for a bandage
the least she might do would be to call
him "Sam," as of old. He moved stiff
~ away and took seat on a bowlder
behind her. If she was lonesome she
could call him.
But kitty, though she was dreadful
ly lonesome and little bit afraid, was
too proud to call. Even the faint scent
Of tobacco that now and then drifted
past her on some vagrant breeze was
comforting, since it was an indication
of Sans presence, but she would not
speak.
Sam gloomily regarded her eloquent
shoulders and longed to take her in his
arms and comfort her, but he assured
himself that it was her place to make
the overture. 1t looked as though the
deadlock would continue unbroken
when the serpent entered this lone
some Eden.
1t was only tiny gartersnake scarce
ly twelve inches long, and it was
hurrying away from the human in
truders as rapidly as possible when
Sam spied it. With a long switch he
turned it's course and headed it past
the rock where Kitty was sitting.
The rustling in the grass caught her
attention, and, looking down, she spied
the wriggling length Of green.
With a shrill scream of "Samp' she
struggled to her feet and the next in
slant was sobbing in her terror, with
her arms about his neck
With cruel ingratitude Sam dispatch
ed his benefactor and lifted the girl in
his arms.
"We'n go sit on the dock, Kitty" he
suggested. 'There are no snakes there.
Pretty soon, if help doesn't come, I'll
swim over to shore and get small
boat somewhere"
"Some one will come, SAM" she de-
clared. anyhow, it's nice here-for
awhile"
"You bet it is, Kitty" assented Sam
as the girl crept close to the protecting
circle Of his arm.
Then in torrent Of words they had
their explanation. 1t cleared the air
wonderfully, and presently Kitty pat
ted the hand that clasped her waist.
"You say you didn't like to take
Belle riding" she whispered, "just as
though you had all the trouble. l bet
you wouldn't like it any better to let
Mr.. Saunders pretend to make love to
you"
"No, l wouldn't" assented Sam hon
estly as he bent his head to claim an
other kiss. "Kitty, Pm sorry killed
that snake"
"But it was snake" explained Kit
ty, as though that were sufficient rea
son, even though it was very nice-for
snake.

The ruling, while intended to
benefit the postollice department t,
will also benefit legitimate news
papers If they accept it in the
spirit it is made and give 1t their
hearty support. Unless they do

There are number of points in

they are along the lines Of reform
they should be obeyed not only by
