Indifferent whether Hearst beat
Hughes or whether the Democrats
carried Congress or not"
1t was to Mr.. Sherman that Mr.
Hartman had confided his views of
constitutional government which Mr..
Roosevelt summarized in the follow
ing language: You inform me that
he told you that he did not care in
the least, because those people
(Hearst'sl We're crooks and that he
could buy them; that whenever he
wanted legislation he could buy it,;
that he could buy Congress- and
could buy the judiciary
AS participant in one Of the most
Illuminating incidents of modern poll
teal history Mr. Sherman really did
not need a nomination for Vice-Presi-
dent to add lustre to his name
Just why the convention named
Mr. Sherman is difficult to under
stand. Partly, we assume, because
the Iowa delegates could not agree
as between Dolliver and Cummins,
and Sherman's nomination was high
ly satisfactory to Speaker Cannon
and the sO-called Congressional
crowd. Chiefly because the Admins
tratiOn was anxious to do something
for a feeble and futile Republican or
ganization in New York; Hughes de-
clined the nomination and Sherman
was less Objectionable than Cortelyou
or Woodruff incidentally because
Mr.. Roosevelt could not think of
anybody stronger than Sherman who
would take the nomination and not
tax beyond safe limits the patience OF
an unprecedentIy patient convention.
Anyway, Mr.. Sherman is the can
didate He is officially indorsed as a
Man of My Type, and that seems to
be what the Republican party wants.

Anyone bitten by dog supposed to
be mad can be treated free by apply
ing to the State Board of Health. The
Pasteur plan is used, the patient being
fnnoculated with hydrophobia anti
toxin. This ought to have a reassur-

hysterical over the mad dog question
in certain sections of the state.

The recount in New York City prom
ises to show not over seven hundred
votes changed to Hearst. This is a
mere bagatelle in counting so enor-
nous a number of votes. 1t shows
that his claims of tremendous frauds
in the count were unjustified. Hearst,
outside of his papers, is a political
corpse

H. NJ. Flager has dropped out of the
controlling clique of the Standard Oil

have aggregated thirty millions of dol

financial uneasiness attached to it.

Thos w. Lawson, has broken into
print again, having taken advantage
of the convention period. He now
proposes that if Mr.. Bryan will let
Gov. Johnson head the ticket, while
Bryan accepts the second place, Law

the campaign expenses, or will even
make it a million if necessary. That's
one of those bluffs which can be work
ed with the sure knowledge that it
cannot be called.

and vicinity during the last three
weeks such as We have never known
in the history of the city Our county
Jail is full to overlooking
More than forty prisoners are
there awaiting the October term of
the circuit court Twelve or more of
them are there for murder or assault
to murder. All of them are negroes
except two, and these two also are
there for assault TO Kill, their victim

During the last few weeks The
Niger and His Gun" might have
been kept as a standing headline in
the papers here almost daily. to in
troduce ARRAYS OF some kind in which
reckless blacks engaged either TO rob
or to settle differences over trifies.
Most Of their victims have been of
their own race, but several white mca
have been struck by their murdcrous
bullets.
Saturday night we had a shooting
ARRAY in a negro dive at NTneteentl
and Poplar streets, in which two ne
groes were shot.
Sunday morning a hold up just
above the city in whicn one negro was
shot dead and the other mortalIy
wounded.
Last night a hold up near the Ill
nois Central bridge ia which a NEGRO
shot white man who had come u
Cairo from Kentucky on business and
was walking to catch a train at the
bridge.
This is the climax OF a series Of ten
CT a dozen eases during the last ssy-

paper in her hand on which was in

Pictures have not infrequently been
chosen by whimsical testators as
hiding places for their wills. To an
even greater length Of eccentricity did
a gentleman go when he gave a bandt
some sum to Nuheady to execute a
