propose to go slangwhanging about for delegates either in New York or else- where. If he is wanted for the nomina- ton his address is known. If Governor Hughes is wanted he will have the hearty support of Secretary Taft.
 No, this is not the kind of politics the country has been becoming accus- toned to. The quality of bossing is entirely absent, as it should be. In consequence the next few months will be watched with interest as they grad ually unfold the preference of the peo- 1 pie for Taft or Hughes as expressed within the ranks of the Republican party There will be those who will | look for the final elimination of both and the entrance of the proverbial dark horse, but at the sane time the attitude of Governor Hughes, as dis closed in his letter expressing his will l ingness to permit the use of his name. which forbids his friends to expect him to depart hairs breadth from his du- ty as governor and the attitude of Sec retary Taft forbidding his friends in New York, or in any other State which has a candidate of it's own, to under take to divide the delegation to the nominating convention justiies the be- lief that the choice will lie between these two gentlemen.

LOCAL, GENERAL

Prophet Johnson's intermediate disturbance came and went, and d most delightful disturbance it was Would that all weather disturbances might disturb in the same way For the period from the 24th to the 18th of this month his prediction was "a lo- cal disturbance of little account.
 A local disturbance of little account lis almost as good description of what was happening around here yes terday and night before last as an in- termediate disturbance was of the charming weather that came here and stayed here with the charming girls who attended the Prom" We don't know what is of little account to Prophet Johnson, but his local dis turbance. has so far been of account enough to suit most of those affected by it, especially the street car lines, and the business interests who do not think anything that interferes with their trade is of little account.
 The next disturbance on Prophet Johnson's docket is "very general disturbarce,' which he has set down for the period from January 30th to February 4th. Intermediate, local, gen. eral! Look out for the general

MORE PERIL.

The Hindus are not as yellow as the Chinese and Japanese, but they are, it seems, becoming perilous, The start ling news comes from Mexico that there are at least ten thousand Hindu coolies in Mexico and that they are coming by hundreds to smuggle their way into this country It is alleged that contracts have already been made to ship several hundred of these 1n- dians to northwestern States. Three men charged with having sold several lots of Hindus to railroad contractors and mine owners in Mexico have been thrown into Mexican prisons When the Mexican government got after the gang who are responsible for import ing the coolies they declared that tho laborers were destined for the United States To the American authorities they made affidavit that the coolies were destined for Canada.
 As this news comes from a United States immigration inspector, it may be assumed to have truth in it. The Japanese part of the yellow peril seems 10 have been mitigated lately, and the Chinese partlis nowhere near as dis turbing as it was. We have therefore, more time to worry about the Hindus, and they seem willing to take the risk of worrying us, Of course We can't really blame them for wanting to get into a country flowing with milk, hen ey and politics, as this is, but also, of course. we can't afford to be overrun
 by "Oriental hordes." As the Hindus are surely Oriental hordes it behooves
 us to keep a sharp eye on them.

ANOTHER BRANCH OF A PROBLEM

It has been found hard to make prohibition prohibit when some of those prohibited don't want to stay in that condition. An illustration of this hardness has just come to light in our neighbor Massachusetts Good old Wilbraham in that State has long been a prohibition town, but liquor is being brought into the town inN con- siderable quantities by two Indian Or chard dealers, who have been li- censed to engage in this traffic by the Wilbraham selectmen in consideration Of a license fee of only S1 in each case. The selectmen contend that in issuing these licenses they have mere ly conformed to the requirements of
 the law, which says that selectmen in no-license towns shall annually issue
 one or more permits to carry intoxi-
 eating liquors into the town and no | FNiPpll VI hVi ltpl tiilol tAttDI a THll@

 out permit. But law passed last years says that a permit to transport 1 liquor shall not he granted to any | person or corporation that is not reg | ularlV and lawfully conducting a trer eral express business.
 As the Indian orchard folks were
 not in the express business before they 1 began to make deliveries of liquor in | Wilbraham it goes nigh 10 be thought
 that they are not even now what

AN ILLUSTRATION.

We are hearing considerable about the English suffragettes and some of the other women who are actively ana vociferously supporting the theory that noth'ng is too good or too much for woman. Meanwhile other women are as actively, but less vociferously, showing us what woman can do.

CARELESS ADVICE BY A BISHOP.

Nobody can rightly question the zeal and sincerity of Bishop Samuel Fal- lows of Chicago, who is trying to cure sin-sick souls and also the sick bodies that hold them. But isn't he just a trile too zealous when he recom- mends singing by those who don't feel right? Singing" says he, lis one of the first requisites of the spirit of health. It has been recognized by neu- rologists as powerful factor in men tai condition, and has been prescribed in cases of nervous prostration and melancholia We should sing at every opportunity"
 Those who live in a neighborhood where somebody does sing at every op- portunity, or oftener, and who are fer vently hoping that they or the singer will soon move. will not take kindly to Bishop Fallows' idea They will not, however, be inclined to wonder that singing has been recognized by neu- rologists as a powerful factor in ,men- tai condition. It certainly is that, and some who have not become famous as ''ologists" have recognized 1t as pow erful factor in mental condition that the good and well-meanng bishop hasn't heard of that Sing at every op- l portunity, is advice which evidently needs little tinkering, unless the singer is where he or she can only sing sad sands of the desert.

The last six thousand feet of this mountain climbing journey present terrible obstacles chiefly due to the | inability of human muscles to convey In the rarefied air the weight in the shape of clothing that is needed for shelter in the Arctic night.

sent back to the state court of APP
peals the appeal in the case of Frank
McNelis vs. the State, from the city
court of Richmond county, in which
the constitutionality of the state pro-
hibition law was attacked.
1t, is understood that this action
means that the court of appeals will
permit the withdrawal of the case in
accordance with the request of attor-
neys for McNehs The case was
brought originally to the court of ap-
peals, and as 1t contained constitutions
al questions was certified to the SUI

lowing argument in the supreme court,
attorneys for the defendant asked per-
mission to withdraw the entire appeal,
their object being, 1t is stated, to at
tack the prohibition law first in the
United States court.
Since the supreme court would have
to render the decision in the case,
should final decision be rendered, its
action in sending the, case back to
the court OF appeals is taken to mean
that the withdrawal as asked defend.
ants attorneys will be permitted.
