CARD PLAYING BY BLIND.
Iany Cards for sightIess Prepared

Many Cards for Sightless Prepared
at the Public Library.
There is an institution in this city
that circulates playing cards in the
same manner that books are given out
by library, says the New York Trib
une These cards are given out to
blind persons, for the sightless can and
do play cards, even to INDUCING in the
little game known as solitaire.
Playing cards which are issued at
the library for the blind, in the build
ing of the St Agnes Branch of the New
York public library system, at 444
Amsterdam avenue, are the usual
decks, which have received the New
York point symbols by which sight
less person can distinguish the differ.
ent cards. At the top and bottom
alongside the printed designation
there are raised letters, and the blind
devotee Of games of chance can know
his hand as we'll as his more fortunate
brother or sister.
Miss Lucy Armistead Goldthwaite
the librarian in charge, said yesterday
that the demand for playing cards was
constantly increasing. They are given
out under the same conditions as the
books for the blind and are to be re-
turned within two weeks. 1t is only
those who are just beginning to play
who borrow packs Of cards, for they
soon become so interested that they
want decks of their own. The desig-
nation of the cards can be written on
any ordinary pack by the use of the
library. By taking deck there it is
possible to have it made over In
short time for use by the blind.
There are 2.400 blind persons in this
city, according to the latest figures
and it is safe to assume that the usual
percentage of them play cards. The
rI,le of the Federal government for the
free delivery by mail Of books TO blind
persons applies in this instance. and
any blind persons may have a pack
of cards prepared for his use sent to
his nearest postoff1ce, If he lives out
side this city in the State of New
York. New Jersey or Connecticut. by
making application at the library.
The government does not deliver books
for the blind at their homes because
they are too bulky for the mail car
riers to handle, but it does deliver
them without charge to the nearest
postoffice or substation.
At first one might think game
with marked cards would be unfair.
for the dealer. If especially skiliful,
would be able TO tell each card as he
passed them out. This is erroneous.
for the marking Is on the face side of
the cards, and it would be impossible
to detect 1t by touch on the other side.

The anti-third term declaration of
President Roosevelt appears to have
muddied the Republican waters in
stead of clearing them. More candi-
dates have been brought forward by
their friends since the announcement,
AID the race for the nomination is so
open that the political forecasters are
all at sea. When the situation clari-
fies, as 1t will later, it will be found
that a great struggle Is impending for
control of the Republican party be
tween Roosevelt and the reactionaries.
AT present there would seem to be but
one candidate representing the Roose-
welt policies. for Senator La Toilette is
for some reason not acceptable to the
President, and only Secretary Taft can
be looked upon as being backed by the
President, Fairbanks, Cannon, Knox,
Foraker and Cortelyou, are all reac-
tionaries branded with "the mark of
the beast"-Wal street. 1t is true
Governor Hughes is regarded as re-
former, but for some reason he is not
acceptable to Mr.. Roosevelt, perhaps
because he is too independent to lay
down and receive the Roosevelt brand
In the past 1t has always been posi-
BILE for the administration to control
the national convention for a second
term, but when II comes to handing the
mantle to some one else there has often
been failure. Political parties are com

The criticism of Republican organs
Of the action of the Democratic Nation
al Committee in accepting the offer of
100000 in cash from Denver FOX
holding the National Convention there
is based on nothing. There is no ques-
ton of tainted money. as those critics
would have US believe. There can be
no attempt 10 coerce the convention on
platform or candidate. for the Demo
cratic committee will have the money
in its war chest before the convention
acts. 1t was purely matter of busi-
ness, and the only people that have
any cause for kicking are those dele
gates or Democratic visitors 10 the
convention who are called upon to pay
greater railroad fares than they would
have had to pay had the convention
been held in Chicago or Louisville. 1t
virtually amounts to Denver making
subscription to the Democratic Nation
al Committee of $4,000. for the actual
expenses of the convention are but
$4,000, and those delegates With visit
ors who have to pay the larger rail-
road fare and expenses are assessed
this extra amount by the Denver en-
tertainers when the time comes
Tainted money is always secretly
paid the Denver bonus is paid openly
and above board, and there is no pos
sible way in which there can be any
thing improper in receiving it 1t will
be mighty handy to the committee,
and as "our friend the enemy pay the
most of the money, it may prevent
them from making their usual dona-
tlon to the Republican corruption fund.

racy.

BRAZIL Is A GREAT LAND,

Area Equals that of the United
States and Part of Alaska.
Brazil has an area Of 3,290,00o
square miles, or that Of the United
State with half Of Alaska added, says
the I.eview Of Reviews. This is, ap-
proxlmately, five-sixths Of the whole
of Europe, or almost one hundred times
the size Of the mother country. Com
cared with Australia, Brazil not only
holds her own, but has surplus area
that would overlap the State of Texas
while on her own continent she almost
equals the combined areas of the 9th.
er twelve republics aud colonies, one
half of Argentina only having to be
deducted This will readily be appar-
ent on consulting an atlas, as will the
equally astonishing statement that her
extreme length from north to south is,
approximately, 1914 degrees, or the dis
lance from tho northern extremity Of
Maine to the coast of Venezuela.
Finally, dividing the land area Of the
new world by language into English,
Spanish and Portuguese (Which in
cludes all but Haiti and the small Co
lonlal holdings of France. Holland and
Denmark). we arrive at the following
remarkable facts. The United States
with Alaska, Canada, including the
islands within the great arctic circle,
Newfoundland, British Guinea, British
Honduras and the various British
islands of the West Indies make total
of 40 per cent Of the whole; the IS
Spanish speaking republics, with Porto
Rico, 80 per cent, Brazil alone making
up the remainder, or % per cent. And
yet, to the average American, the Por-
tuguese language Is regarded practical
ly as negligible quantity, while many

state Rights.

At the convention Of the Attorney
Generals Of the thirteen States of the
Mississippi Valley, held 1t 81. Louis,
nearly all defended the reserved rights
of the States from federal usurpation.
A strong desire was expressed TO re-
strict the power of federal courts In
their dealings with affairs pertaining
wholly to a State. Thus the march OF
modem events justifies the Jefferson
ion doctrine Of the rights Of the States
over the Hamiitonian doctrine Of the
Capitalization Of power In the federal

Republican Prn.nerItr.

Confidence is gone, and confidence
Is the basis of all prosperity. SO says
John d. Rockefeller. But the stand
patters say chat the tariff Is the basis
Of all prosperity. Other Republicans
claim that the said basis consists OF
the gold standard and the national
bank system. But confidence is surely
gone so far as all these things are
concerned and that is possibly what
Rockefeller meant. For, of course. he
could not admit that trusts bring eizher
hard times or prosperity, or that conf
dence or lack of confidence In trusts
and trust managers could AFFECT the
country. The trusts are only innocent
bystanders, as he views It.
