An Interesting Question

well, and was anxious TO know II the

WATERFRONT STORIES
TOLD YESTERDAY
sKINcH II. NEARLY CAUSES A
SERIOUS AcCIDENT-DocK
AND WHARF NOTES.

The beautiful motor boat "Skinch
H." belonging to Chester Fox and
pr Vaughn, was launched yesterday
afternoon about o'clock, from the
ways at the X. M. Lcathcrs yards
with an engineer on board, and her
owners as well. When the flyer
struck the lower skids, those below
water, sbe made hceling dive Of II,
Mcssrs Fox and Vaughan being
thrown swift and violently over the
side, without any sort OF warning
Mr. Fox, who 10 no adept at swim
ming, was in precarious position for
moment, and had not DR.. Vaughan
gone instantly TO his relief, there
might have been a very sad story to
darken these columns this morning.
But, despite the dismal run OF luck
that struck the Skinch at the outset,
no one feels like cherishing any
dubious feeling about the accident;
but, on the contrary, the dainty craft
is held TO be the queen Of the waters
hereabout, and it is hoped she will
demonstrate it today or tomorrow in
good fashion, though she has some
master-buil, craft to 60 up against
both from home and abroad.

BRYAN'S CONCEPTION Of PRESIDENCY

constantly called upon to act In the
capacity of a judge-deciding be-
tween the opportunities Of those who
seek favors and the rights and inter-
ests OF the public. Unless his SYM
pathies are right, the few are sure
to have an advantage over the many,
for the masses have no one to present
their claims. They act only at elec-
tions and must trust to their represen-
tatives to protect them from all their
foes.
Second, the president must have a
the ability to discern between the
true and the false; he must be able
to analyze the conditions and to de-
tect the sophistries that are always
employed by those who seek unfair
advantages.
"He must possess the moral cour-
age to stand against the influences
that are brought to bear in favor Of
special interests. In fact the quail
ity Of moral courage is essential in a
public official as either right sympa-
thies or trained mind.
1.-THE president must have COUNSEL
lors, he must be open to conviction.
The president is committed by his
platform to certain policies, and the
platform is binding. He is also COM
mitted to certain principles Of govern
ment and these he Is in duty bound to
apply in all matters that come before
him.
"But there is q wide zone in which
he must act upon his own judgment
and here he ought to have the aid Of
intelligent, conscientious and faithful
advisors. The law provides these to
a certain extent In giving him a cabi-
net, and the vice president ought to
be made a member of the cabinet ex-
officio, in order first that the presi-
dent may have the benefit of his wis
dom and knowledge of affairs, ana
second. that the vice president may be
better prepared to take up the work
Of the president in case Of a vacancy
in the presidential office. There
ought to be cordial relations also be-
tween the president and those who oc-
cupy positions Of trust in the co-ordi-
nate branches Of the government, for
our government IL not onennan
government. but a government in
which the chosen representatives Of
the people labor together TO give ex-
preston 20 the will of the votera.

William j. Bryan has written an
article entitled my Conceptions OF
the Presidency" for the July IS issue
OF Golfers Weekly He says:
"The presidents power for good
or for harm is estimated. This
government is a government OF checks
and balances; power is distributed
among different departments and each
of them works in cooperation with
others In the making OF laws, Tor
instance, the president joins with the
senate and house; may recommend,
but he is powerless to legislate, ex-
cept as a majority Of the senate and
the house concur with him. The SEN
ate and the house are also independ-
ent Of each other, except in veto
over the other, and the president has
a veto over both except that the SEN
ate and house can by a two-thirds
vote override the presidents veto. The
influence Of the president over legis-
Iation Is therefore limited. He shares
the responsibility with large num-
Der OF peoples representatives.
even in the enforcement Of law he
is hedged about by restrictions. He
acts through an attorney general
(whose appointment must be approy-
ed By the senate) and offenders
against the law must be prosecuted
in the courts, 10 that here again the
JespopSlbility u divided. In the
making of important appointments
TOO he must consult the senate and Is
OF necessity. compelled to exercise
care and discretion.
1.-The most important requisite in a
president. as In other officials, is
that sympathy shall be with the
whole people rather than with any
fraction of the population. He Is

New York, July 16.-The rush OF
Atlantic travel eastward still contin-
ues to be almost up to the average OF
other years. Steamship agents assert
that the season was later than usual
this year, but that 1t has made amends
for the falling off in the early stages
and promises to continue later than
usual.
The three lines leaving today with
full cabins for Europe are the last to
sail on the high summer schedule, as

London, July 17-Reports received
here regarding the magnificent prep
arations that are being made in Aus
tralian and New Zealand ports for the
entertainment of the American fleet
are provoking a great deal OF COM
ment The expenditure Of such vast
sums by the colonial cities in enter
tanning the fleet of a foreign power
is condemned by the London papers.
An undercurrent of jealousy of the
United States runs through many OF
these editorial articles. and the cruise
of the Yankee vessels Is severely
criticised by some naval authorities.
on the continent, however. and es-
pecially in Germany, the political as
poets of the cruise are considered in
a more favorable light.
The Marine Rundschau. which is
the subsidized organ of the German
imperial marine department, consid-
ers that the concentration of the
American fleet in the Pacific" marks
the beginning of the new epoch in
the worlds history which was fore
shadowed by Count Yorck Won Wor-
tenburg, Count Waldersee's chief of
staff in China in 1900, when he ex-
pressed the opinion that the trend OF
events lay in the direction Of union
on the part Of the continental nd At
lantic powers against. the Pacific
hemisphere" 1t Is added that "Am-
erica's political wishes will only be
recognized If they are backed by the
guns OF her fleet, bat the scope of her
desires will be bounded by the navy's
radius of action"
The Conservative Kreub Zeltung in
dorses these observations with the re-
mark that the American navy must
not only be ready to strike, but
"ready to strike where strategy de-
mands." General Won ZEPPELIN then
proceeds to consider the lines of COM
munication and the harbor accommo-
dation on the west coast of America
and in the Pacific, which he pro-
nounces to be inadequate and insecure
for a fleet designed for offensive
purposes"

him to doctor and tried half dozen
other treatments, all with the same
result: no Improvement at all. The
every part OF his body was quite raw.
We had TO strap him down in bed, for
he used to tear himself dreadfully in,
his sleep. The agony he went through
is quite beyond words. No one thought
we would rear him. The regimental
doctor, a very clever man, pronounced Z
the case hopeless; at least, he said the
only hope was that he might, II he
lived long enough, outgrow 1t to some
extent. We had him in hospitals four
times and he was pronounced one OF
the worst cases, il not the worst, ever
admitted. From each he was dis
charged as incurable; in fact he got
worse under the successive treatments.
At one hospital they incased him. in
plaster. and this seemed to aggravate
the soreness terribly. He looked so
badly that no one liked TO go near him
and his life was burden to him. We
kept trying remedy after remedy. but
we had got almost past hoping for Q
cure. Six months ago we purchased
a set Of Cutcura Soap, Ointment, and
Resolvent Pills and persevered with
them. The result was truly marvellous
and to-day he is perfectly cured. his skin
not having blemish on it anywhere.
