THE PRESIDENTS LATEST MON
 DAY LETTER.

It has been the practice of the pres ident for some weeks to issue a Mon day morning epistle more or less de- voted to the excoriation of those who have differed from him in political matters. These communications to the public have abounded in charac- teristic invective and have been so regular in appearance that newspaper humorists have found another reason why this day of the week is properly called Blue Monday"
 This morning there is another letter from the president, mild in tone but none the less scathing, directed to or against those bigots who held it to be a sufficient reason why MT. Taft should not receive their report if it were true, as reported, that he sub scribed to a certain form of religious belief
 The president points out that that is a matter which concerns only the conscience of the man who believes and is none of the business of any other man. The main thing to determine is not what one believes. but how he has lived; whether he has been clean.
 So far as his fellows are con- cerned ones creed is of no import ance at all, but his life is everything. That is all that determines his worth mess of their respect and support. The man who holds it against fel- low man that he believes a certain religious doctrine is a man who would burn him at the stake for believing it, if physical persecution were pop ular in these days. One who inquiries into the religious belief of another, to determine his fitness for any polit- ical office. is himself unfit, however orthodox may be his creed. He is moreover unfit for American citizen ship.

as near in readiness as it can be un- til the wheels begin to move.
 The Exhibits.
 In every department of the fair the exhibits promise to excel all former efforts and in some departments there has been a doubling of quantity and an improvement in quality. There is more to see than ever and the management urges the public to go early and study well the exhibits which mean SO much to this country. There is a much larger and finer live stock display than ever before to say nothing of more than twice as much racing stock. The live stock parades will all be good and the one this morn- ! ing will be the finest kind of a cur tain raiser
 All who can should be on hand to see it. The various department build ings and tents and divisions will each be worthy of a very close inspection. There isn't a thing there that isn't worth while. Some big fairs are not able for their racing only, or the amusement and sporting features. The Arizona fair in the past has been not able both for racing, live stock and mining with fair displays in other lines. This year it is to be notable for every thing. The horses haven't got it all by any means. It is as big industri- ally and educationally as it it for amusements and track records.
 Track Events.
 The racing this year has been given less newspaper mention than usual ow- ing to the campaign demands. Never theless, Fen s. Hildreth, superintendent of speed. has the finest list of entries eyer shown in the west and in number the harness horses entered are said to double the list of any preceding year The purses for the big daily events re- main as heretofore. s1. .009 each. a little bag of money worth striving for by any horse for an afternoons work The colt races have smaller purses, but they are good ones as also are the purses for the running horses. The specials also will try out the fast ones and there will be plenty to engage the attention of the track enthusiast.
 Judge Robert Newton, who for a long time has devoted his energies to the grand circuit will be the starting judge and his reputation for fairness and firmness is well established. The announcer will be Rube Sheilds, who plays the double role of telling the peo- pie all about it and amusing them at the same time. He is the comedy man, the trick bicycle rider, the one man on the ground who has a license to be funny whenever he wants to, but when he isn't funny he is straight business. Paul R. Kruger is again the official clerk of the course and the experience of the past assures the public that he will somehow get a record of every horse that comes under the wire in the lead. if he has to follow him around the track to do it.
 The races today will be a fine start off for a glorious week and everybody should get his seat in the grand stand or bleachers promptly on time. There will be long program every day and it costs no more to see it all than it does part of it. And those who come early will lessen the confusion attend

There disappeared yesterday from the face of the earth one who will finger in the memory of many, not for any great achievement, but for his charm of manner and his kindliness of heart There was nothing osten- tatious in the life of J. M. Burnett. He cared as little for human ap- plause as any man that ever lived the quiet appreciation of his associ- ates he conducted himself to all so as to win their regard and their love. If one for whom many mourn was a good man, Judge Burnett was such a man.

 Poultry Show.
 The poultry show, it is announced, is better than ever and anyhow it has two whole buildings to itself and that ought to be good enough to satisfy any body that the poultry department is worth while. The birds were judged yesterday and visitors today can begin looking at prize winners. The poultry buildings are at the north end of the little fair village.
 Transportation.
 It has not been announced whether or not a train service will be establish ed between the grounds and the city. However, the street railway company has a number of new and capacious cars added to the former equipment and with the automobiles and carriages will probably be able to handle the crowds If a train is run it will only be that much better.

O LOTS OF TIME
But the Judge Drew the Line at
Eternity.

Canada'S supreme court has
fixed 4 maximum of three hours
for counsel's addresses, which de-
gree has recalled some tales of
it." Don't apologize" was the
told Of a counsel who pressed his
argument for a very long time
with frequent repetition. MT.
- said the judge, you have
said that before" Have l, my
lord?" replied counsel apologetic-
ally, Il am very sorry; l forgot
it." Don't apologize" was the
judicial response; 1T was so very
long ago"
An American lawyer, who
seemed unable to arrive at. the
end of a prolonged speech, at last
ventured to express a fear that he
was taking up too much time.
ooh, never mind time" observed
the judge, but for goodness sake,
do not trench upon eternity"

At the Turn of the Tide.

1t was asserted by Aristotle
that no animal dies near the sea
except at the ebbing of the tide.
This idea in some form or another
has been popular for centuries.
Such a notion, | find, still ex-
lists at Gravesend. An old salt
who used to sit by a dying man
in an ale house on the shore Of
the Thames told me he noticed
my patient was always worse at
the turn of the tide, and then got
better after the tide had turned.
Readers of Dickens cannot forget
the account in David Copper
field of MI. Barkis going out
with the tide"
According to Aristotle and Mr..
Pegotty, it is at the ebbing Of
the tide that death always occurs.
But at Gravesend, / am told, it
does not matter whether the tide
is at the ebb or flow; it is just
at the turn of the tide that death
occurs. II have often seen it
happen, sir" an old shrimper
said TO me quite recently.

CANINE MOTOR FIEND.
Pittsburg Dog Jumps Aboar'
ANY Auto That Comes Along.


Pittsburg has a canine automo.
bile enthusiast. He is a blacA
bull terrier, now quite old, who
attached himself to the fortunes
of DR.. M. w. Everson in puppy
hood.
The dog, whose name is Jack.
frequently accompanied Dr.. Ever
son on automobile spins, says the
Motor World, and was unmis-
takably grieved when the ply
stefan several years ago dispensed
with his motor car.
He allayed his sorrow by romp-
ing alongside of passing automo-
biles, and eventually had the
nerve to Jump into one. The
driver did not resent the intru-
sion, and from that time Jack has
spent his days repeating the trick.
He has become quite a favorite
with Automobiles.
Jack does not like a poisy car,
and when riding in one will make
a quick shift if a quieter vehicle
happens along. He has not use
for a wind shield either, prefer
ring to stand with his front feet
on the dashboard, feeding on wind
with evident relish when he is not
barking. His bark is pretty con-
slant, however, and the driver
who has him as a passenger is not
obliged to toot his horn to any ex-
tent.

DON'T USE SURNAMES.
Only Christian Names Signed by
Majority of ROYAL Houses.

The origin OF most royal houses
was similar throughout Europe,
and kings and their families,
speaking broadly, never had or
used surnames. They signed
their Christian names alone.
So universally was this the case
that it became rigid etiquette that
a person of royal birth should not
use a surname, though there have
been numbers of cases of dynas-
ties, like our own Stuarts, like the
Bernadotte dynasty of Sweden or
like the Bonaparte family, who
unquestionably and individually
had inherited surnames. But it
has always been a puzzle why the
cadet members of oar own royal
house do not subscribe them
selves as peers by their peerage
designations, as do other peers.
However, the fact is they do
not, but it has not been discov-
cred what are the rules which
govern their signatures. The
sovereign signs by the Christian
name and usually adds Or" or
"R. and l." Princes and prin-
cesse sign by their Christian
names, and sometimes, but not
always, add the letter "P." When
or why this is added or omitted is
not known.
But the habits of royalty lead
others into strange happenings.
There was an occasion upon
which Queen Victoria after a
function" was asked to sign a
visitors book. Her majesty
wrote "Victoria r. and l." Prin-
cess Henry of Battenberg then
wrote Beatrice P" The turn of
the local Mayoress came next,
and she signed Elizabeth" The
surname was hastily written in
the following day, but too late to
prevent the story gaining cur
rency.

ports a Traveller of Englishmen.
Travellers returning from Eng
land tell Of two habits of the peo-
pie of that country which I'M
pressed them. One is the aver
a.,e Englishman's aversion to
shutting the door behind him.
Il don't know how it is in the
f glish houses" remarked one
w.o returned recently from
abroad, for I was not in one of
item, but l stayed in a hotel in
London where there were a good
many English people, and a dozen
times daily l had to get up and
shut a door to keep the draught
away.
1T didn't make any difference
whether it was a servant or a
guest who went through, the door
was left open. This was in the
spring Of the year, too, when the
weather was chilly. l noticed
the same thing in railway coach
es and hotels of smaller towns"
The other English popularity
is a preference for riding back
ward on trains. The Snglishman
will make for the seat with its
back to the engine every time,
plant himself down in it with ev-
cry evidence of comfort and look
wonderingly at anybody who
picks out a seat facing the direc-
ton the train is going. Not once
did one American travelling in
England see a native choose a
seat facing the front of the train
unless there were no other seats.

Cedar Shavings for Dogs.

If your dogs are troubled with
f1eas a very simple way to get rid
of the pest is to provide beds of
fresh cedar shavings, or, better,
cedar excelsior in the kennels or
wherever the dogs sleep. The
scent is not at all unpleasant to
che dogs, but is abhorent to the
feas. When a dogs coat gets
thoroughly scented not only do
the feas leave him while asleep,
but they will not jump upon him
when he is out in the sand dur.
ing the day.

Typhoid Epidemic

Pierre Capital-Journal Just what
and just where, we do not know,
but something is wrong in Pierre.
There is too much typhoid fever.
This thing has been going on for
some time, and new cases keep COM
ing on, and at present one citizen
lies dead in his home from the effects
of this disease. Typhoid fever is a
serious matter and something should
be done to locate the source of this
trouble. We do not think it is pos
slble that it is our water supply.
No one can hardly expect to find it
the cause. Yet this water should be
thoroughly examined by competent
authority.
Various localities are reporting an
epidemic of typhoid fever this fall,
and in many cases it is proving fatal.
Highmore has had numerous cases,
and a number of deaths. So far
Miller has had two fatal cases, and
it seems difficult to locate the cause
as the artesian water should be safe
from any germs. However it would
be wise for everyone to exercise the
greatest possible care in the matter.
A Pierre doctor advances the theory
that the germs are created by filth
about a town and then carried from
house to house by flies.
