This remark from the bench will evoke

be doubted II half of the holders of life
insurance policies are fully aware of
their exact stipulattons. reservations and
agreements In a general way they know
that they are TO pay so much a month.

Mr.. Foraker's Latest Statement.

II is entirely plain from Mr.. Foraker s
--latest Statement that there Is yet time
for composing the republican differences
in Ohio, to the advantage of both the
senator and Judge Taft. and most decid-
edly TO the advantage of the party next
November Mr.. Foraker is not asking
quartet but merely restating the case in
reply to some pleasant personal remarks
,1nade by Judge Taft in public spec ch
the other evening The spirit of the de-
=. liverance Is at once kindly and self-re-
ppecting. and affords basis for negotia-
tions which, II the republicans of Ohio
have any of their old time talent for
practical politics left, could be carried to
excellent results.
:" Why not rub out the score, and start
with A clean slate? Everybody is, or
should be. wiser today than when the
break occurred. What at that time
was only a local affair has come to
he a national affair. Outside of Ohio.
Taft feeling and Foraker feeling have
grown In about equal measure. That
Is to say, men who want to see
Judge Taft nominated for President
and there are many such-want also to
see Mr.. Foraker returned to the Senate.
Why should the interests of two such
men be made to clash? Why retire Mr..
Foraker from place which he has filled
with profit to his people, and certainly
with great credit to himself?
Judge Tafts boom looks healthy every
where but at home. 1t is not healthy
there because of the bitter factionalism
with which it is allied Suppose 1t were

time could befaN the Taft boom would
be an announcement that it is no longer
associated with warfare on Mr.. Foraker

ness to the party and favors his reten-

n soldier is a boil Uouder cheers) on
the body polite. and should be eradi-
Gated" (Wild cheers)
This may be good socialistic doctrine.
Abut IT is calculated to evoke some criti-
cisfn on the part OF the citizens who do
not see their way clear to the preserva-
ton OF law and order without policemen
and soldiers. Until the millennium of good
behavior on the part Of every individual
has arrived there will be need of strong
armed enforcement OF statutes. Let
thieves break into the houses Of the Hay
woods and the others OF his like and
steal their property without molestation
from the police. and a great outcry about
inadequate protection to the citizen will
arise. Let foreign enemy menace the
cities OF the coast, or the mills Of the
interior. or the granaries of the prairies,
and there will be a panic Of protest sts
against the shameful weakness Of gov
ernment that has brought the country to
such pass.
Far more comparable to pimples and
boils on the body polite are the agita-
tors and radicals who denounce gov
ernment and all that pertains to it; who
revile the chosen executors of the laws;
who declare war on property and who,
Like Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, publicly

Attacking Judge Gray.

The Star a short time ago, In comment
ing on the Gray boom. expressed the opin-
ion that Judge Gray's record as mem-
ber of the Paris peace commission would
be used against him in case OF his nomina-
tion for President. This is confirmed now
by the Springfield Republican. leading
anti-imperialist organ. which speaks OF
Judge Gray as having received his pres
ent Office as reward for supporting a
treaty of criminal aggression" Contin-
uing. the Republican says:
"Recreancy Of such an order can be
bought and sold but once. and what has
been paid for by a United States circuit
court judgeShip cannot claim the preSi-
dency of the United States in further COM
pensation. 1t was a cruel day for George
Gray when he fell under the blandish-
ments of President Mckinley"
This Is unjust to both men. President
Mckinley was not in the market to buy
votes for the peace treaty, nor the then
Senator Gray open to approaches of such
a kind. The Philippine matter looked
little differently to all the American COM
mssioners after negotiations opened in
Paris. Our obligations toward the archi-
pelago were very clear when viewed in the
light of our power and possession and
Spain's helplessness and defeat. and what
the outside world expected of us. In TAX
ing over the islands we did the right
thing, both as respected a final settlement
of our differences with Spain, and our
duty to peace in that far quarter of the
globe. Spain could not have re-establsh
ed authority there, and anarchy In the Is
lands would have invited the interference
of the great powers. with grave compiica-
tions certain to follow. The Stars and
Stripes meant peace. and everybody felt
assured when it was announced that the
flag would stay put.
But politics is politics. High as Judge
Gray's character is. and valuable as his
services have been on the bench, were he
to become his party's nominee for Presi-
dent he would be subjected to as savage
raking as ever candidate underwent.
The extreme silver men would allege some
discreditable influence behind his opposi-
ton to Mr. Bryan in 1896, just as the anti
imperialists would echo these severe senti-
ments of the Springfield Republican. Be-
tween the two he would fare badly at the
polls, and maybe go down In defeat even
worse than that Judge Parker en-
countered.
Judge Gray gives no encouragement to
the anti-Bry yanites. who, with less thought
of him than of their own half-masked
schemes. are booming him for political
leadership. He knows the field. the game.
and the players. and that no quarter is
given. Where he now is no quarter is, or
need be. asked. He has life office. for
which he Is eminently qualified. and his
service in it is without criticism of any
kind from any source.

The Street Thefts,

Perhaps il few medium sized but stout
policemen were to be dressed. not merely
in plain clothes but in the garb OF
women and were to patrol the district OF
this city in which numerous assaults and
robberies have occurred within the past
few weeks. the problem OF catching the
offender would soon be solved. IL these
various brutal outbreaks have been the
work of a single individual who haunts
a certain neighborhood, it should not be
difficult to tempt him to reach for an ex-
posed purse borne by stalwart ''woman.' :

the District must be given a larger police
force. Its force is now too small to
patrol the entire area properly. There
are some beats which. at present covered
by single man each, should be covered
by no less than three apiece. 1t Is OBJ
