TWO OF A KIND.

One of the diverting incidents of she
campaign was the ludicrous attempt of
the Omaha Bee to make it appear that
the tariff plank, or a section OF it, of
the Republican platform was part of a
speech by Mr.. Bryan. The manner in
which the Bee scored the offending
quotation was very much to the point,
and could not have been excelled in
vigor by Mr.. Bryan himself. The mis-
take was at once exposed, and the
Omaha paper has been made the butt
of ridicule the country over ever since.
Now comes the information that the
Portland Oregonian, rock-ribbed Re
lar, and the Pacific coast in general,
made the same foolish break before the
Bet showed its ignorance. Lest other
Republican editors make themselves
ridiculous, The Herald will once more
print the little joker adopted by the
Chicago convention:
In all tafiff legislation the true prin-
ciple is best maintained by the imposition
or such duties as will equal the difference
between the cost of production at home
and abroad, together with reasonable pro-
fit TO American industries.
The Democracy distinctly disclaims
any such views, but acquiesces in all
that the Bee and Oregonian said. For
once in their lives the editors We're
honest in their discussion of the tariff
and should be given credit. Indeed,
they may be inclined to follow the ex-
ample of the apostate Democrat in Sc
vier county, this state. When the fell
low was beaten in the Republican con-
vention for the nomination for sheriff,
he exclaimed: Good: now 1 can vote
my honest convictions"

SENATOR CRANE LIKES PIE.
Boston Herald.N

Senator Cranes favOrite luncheon is pie
and milk. according to the Senate restau-
rant walters, and the amount he some
times eats is a puzzle to them. A man in
search of the senator said to one of the
walters:
Seen Senator Crane today?"
Yes. sab; de senator jus gone out. l
got him a piece of pie and a glass of milk.
sah.'' replied the waiter.
Whats dat?' inquired another waiter.
Just passing. Senato Crane was in heah
an hour ago. JUS got a piece of pie and a
glass of milk, as usual. sab"
While this waiter was speaking a third
approached. Who you all talking about?"
he asked. Senator Crane is in dar now.
Use got his order for q piece of pie and a
glass of milk right heah."
To settle the argument the doors of the
senator's room in the restaurant were
swung open, and there sat Senator Crane
talking with friends.
The fact was that senator Crane had
been entertaining guests from Massachu-
sets and inviting them TO lunch with him
and had been obliged to eat pie three
times and drink nearly a quart of milk.

QUEER WALKING STICK.
England's War Secretary Carries
One of Cordite.

King Edward is the possessor Of a
wonderful collection of walking sticks.
among which the most remarkable.
and perhaps the most valuable, is the
neartst approach eXtant to the horn
of the unicorn which appears in the
royal arms 1t is cut from the single
horn of a white rhinoceros-a species
now extinct, from which the heraldic
unicorn is supposed to have originated
and is unique as regards it's length.
which is fOrty-tWO inches. 1t was
given, more than forty years ago. by a
kaffr chief to Louis Solomon. a South
African pioneer, and, enclosed in a case
of native bamboo, was presented To
the king when he opened the South
African exhibition in 1907.
A go~ld-headed cane, having very diff
'ferent associations, was offered bv
auction in London some years ago. It's
interest consisted in the circumstance
that it had been welded by crazed
Lieutenant Pate when he assaulted
Queen Victoria. striking her with it
and breaking her bonnet. on June %.
1850. Pate was sentenced to be fogged,
but, at the queens desire, this punish
ment was committed, fand he was
transported to Tasmania instead for
seven years penal servitude. He made
a fortune after his release, and how
the stick should have come into the
market is not known. but it appears to
have been either withdrawn before the
sale or to have been bought in at il.
The most astonishing stick of recent
times is one with which MI. Hdldane.

the house of The occasion
was a discussion concerning eordite,
and Mr.. Haldane. answering some ar
gumentS against the security of the eX-
plosive. claimed that it was wfSen
properly manufactured, so absolutely
safe that he had had a walking stick
made of it. which he had been in the
habit of bringing to the house and
leaving in the cloakroom. There was,
he explained, nothing in its appearance

TO be closely watched. He meant tina
the cordite, not the stick, needed
watching; but with the knowledge thus
given TO the house, members are I'M
likely to NEEDLE with the walking stick
of the war secretary.
Another extraordinary walking stick
was also associated with Q member of
the house of commons who was build
ing for himself a mansion in a remote
country district. Several times dur
ing his visits of inspection he CHANGED
to notice at the railway station a SUBJ
stantial walking stick addressed to the
contractor who was erecting his new
house, and. meeting the contractors

employer should SEM his stick back

there being no bank at hand where the
coin could be conveniently obtained.
The stick only cost a trife for carriage,
and the money had never gone astray.

is AN ERUPTION IMMiNENT?

The final stages of the presidential
campaign ma or may not find the
president on the stump. If he follows
his natural inclinations, he will insist
upon batting for his substitute in the
final inning. While the old-line Repub-
licans who are supporting Taft are
holding Roosevelt in check, the hero
worshippers are gathering around the
throne and pleading with his majesty
to enter the lists with the big stick
and bass drum on the ground that the
defeat of Taft would mean the repudi-
alton of the Roosevelt administration.
that Taft is in danger of being beaten.
and that the war whoop held in re-
serve for the jungles of Africa should
be used TO awe and subdue the wicked
Democrats and the grand army of dis
gruntled Americans in general.
On the other hand. the trusts now
supporting Taft would not regard his
election as an endorsement of my pol
%icies," but insist that if this question
is made the paramount issue they
would prefer to see the Republican
ticket go down to ignOminiOus defeat.
A third consideration is the fact that
the secretary of the Ananias club, Mr..
Loeb, has unofficially given it out that
the president would not make speeches
unless it seemed necessary to save the
day. To go on the stump under the
circumstances would be tantamount to
a confession that Taft was in danger
of defeat.
The only certainty seems to be that
Roosevelt is fretting and Tuning in the
White House. Whether he Will break
out, time alone can tell.

Chanler which lead the discerning to
expect a Democratic victory.
AS is we'll known, Ohio Republicans
are badly divided. Senator Foraker and
his friends are not likely to forget the
presidents letters or the refusal of
in a hostile way. The negro vote will
be split for the first time. and the local
option question is apt to make more
trouble.
Indiana is just as bad from a Repub-
lican standpoint. The Fairbanks crowd
is off the reservation and the ~Indianap-
oils News. the most powerful news
paper in the state, is embarrassingiy
frank in its publication of matter in
imical to the Republicans. Watson. the
candidate for governor. has been the
subject of attack by the labor organ
izations, by all the large German pop
ulation of the state and by forces with
in the Republican party hitherto iden-
titled with the Fairbanks regime. In
diana Is unquestionably a doubtful
state. with the hance much IN favor
of Democratic success.
Minnesota, with Johnson leading the
state ticket, is good fighting ground;
Wisconsin, in the language of the Chi
cage Inter Ocean, has no Republican
organization left.
These are only a few of the salient
facts in a curious situation. In ILL
nois the Republicans have factional
quarrels within. and face local prob
lens hat involve the loss of the Ger
man and Scandinavian vote, which mas
been staunchly Republican for a num-
Der of years. Practically every Ger
man newspaper in the country is sup
porting Bryan, a complete reversal of
conditions four and eight and twelve
years ago.
Moreover, the i~ndefinable trend of
public sentiment has been steadily and
definitely toward Bryan from the day
of his nomination. The threat of a
panic in case of his election has Keen
tried and found wanting. because the
Republicans find it most awkward TO
discuss panics his e The old stock
arguments as to his lack of executive
experience have been tried, but the ex-
ample of Lincoln and others of the
most illustrious Republican presidents
demolished that line of attack. Held
to the comparison of platforms and
candidates, the Republicans have been
kept on the defensive from the start
and are still there with a visibly weak
ening position.
Not since 1892, when Cleveland was
elected the second time, has the party
been in such good fighting trim or Sc
sanguine OF success. In spite of a small
campaign fund. in spite of the support
given the Republicans by the trusts
and large moneyed interests, in spite
possibly because of-RooseveIt's ap-
pearance in the field, the Democrats
have gained in confidence and strength
as the campaign has progressed, and
they have every reason TO be gratifed
with the conditions now existing three
weeks before election day.

SHOCKED BY A WAITER.
New York Press.)

A young woman was dining recently
at the Waldorf-Astoria with a party of
seven or eight friends. The orchestra
played a tune with which she was fan
miliar. but the name had escaped her.
What is it, she asked None knew. \
waiter was summoned. "Garcon, what is
the name of that tune" Garcon didn't
know, but would find out. He was gone
so long that all reference to the subject
was completely forgotten. Near the end
of the dinner he reappeared, and with
out any preliminary whatever walked up
to the young woman and exclaimed:
Love Me and the World Is Nine"
Everybody was startled. She nearly faint
ed at the declaration. But the humor of
the situation quickly awned upon the
party. and the waiter escaped with his
life and a fee.
