PARTY LINES IN 1908.

In one sense, the history OF party
lines in America goes back to Anglo
Saxon and Norman times in England.
In that sense, as in others, it is full of
interest. AS we are most concerned
with it in 1908, it begins in the founda-
ton of the union itself, and almost dis.
appears for a time under the admins
tration of Washington, who dreaded
party spirit as a source of danger.
Reappearing under the second adj
ministration of Washington and drawn
before 1900 almost as they are now,
party lines slackened under the admin
istrations of Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe, until under the administration
of John Quincy Adams and jackson
they appeared again in full strength.
The names which best represent their
history from 1888 to 1896 are Washing
ton, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Hayes
and Cleveland, not taken as repre-.
senting private character or political
policies, but as they stand for decisive
periods Of unrest in party activities
and party alignment. Even with their
sweeping changes in the votes of states,
the twenty years between 1875 and 1896
may now be looked back upon as time
OF marked unrest in what Washington
thought of as party spirit, which may
be rising higher and higher at time
when party lines seem to bind least.
Through all the changes which belong
to the history ofparty lines, showing it.
self in party spirit or in spite of it
American hope Of improvement has
worked until there is no period of
twenty years in which it does not APP
pear, turning into means of advance
even the disasters which seemed to de-
feat it. OF this country during the
Nineteenth Century the future historian
may say that no other nation invited
more disaster unnecessarily or re-
deemed it more heroically and success
fully than it was redeemed in lmak-
ing the history of party lines which is
to be continued this year.
Without giving away in the least on
his own ground, the good American of
any party can see the hope of the good
Americanism in every other party,
working even through plumbers and
disasters until the worst crimes of
party politics are defeated by the
higher purpose which makes parties
possible and beneficial until what is
worst in any party drives what is best
out of it. When lines go down in
that way the hope Of changing the worst
for the better and of improving on even
the best of the present is always rising
as American history shows results from
it.
AS whole, American history is the
history of increasing millions of Ameri
cans hopeing and attempting to do theil
best through party or in spite of party
Their hope has never been defeated
and as it appears from generation tx
generation in high results of improve
ment, developed in spite Of cost to re-
pay the cost beyond expectation, it has
become faith that it's results car
never be defeated Louis Republic

the facts were their substitutes.
It was no blind appeal for the ven
geance of the law that Mr.. Jerome ad-
dressed to the jury, but ever and al
ways there was the note of fairness,
even at times of mercy.
No longer attacking Evelyn Thaw as
a skilled adventures, Mr. Jerome

climax came, however, when Mr.. Je-

shot and killed the architect.
District Attorney Jerome turned a
willing ear to the testimony of insan-
ity placed before the jury and en-
phasized 1t in a number of instances.
He admitted that Thaw had always
been physically weak and that at
times his mind had been unstrung.
And while at no point was there the
direct offer OF compromise in the prose-
cutors speech, there was notably an
indication that he would not feel that
justice had been misdirected II ver-
dict of some lesser guilt than murder
in the first degree should be the cul-
mination of the jury's deliberations.
Mr.. Jerome carefully explained the
elements that enter into a verdict OF
primary murder, the penalty of which
is death, and then pointed the way to
two other findings which he declared
were possible under the circum-
stances.

LOOT OF OLD ROBBERY FOUND.
Stolen Bricks of Bullion Recovered
When Saloon Burns.

Omaha, Observation-Disclosures Pat
terson of the Pacific Express company
returned to Omaha from Sidney, Neb.,
Thursday, bringing with him two large
bricks Of bullion, believed to represent
part of the loot of robbery of the
company's Office in Sidney, Neb., in
March, 1880.
The metal was found buried in the
debris of saloon which burned two
weeks ago. The robbery was the
boldest of its kind ever pulled of in
the west and the bullion, which had
been received that day by stage from
the Black Hills, was valued at $127, 900.
One of the bricks was sold to the
Denver mint year after the robbery.
Sheriff Mccarthy, who then owned
the saloon which burned recently, was
believed to be the leader of the robber
band, but the express company was
unable to secure his indictment. His
brother was hanged later by vigilantes.
Mccarthy has been dead several years.

CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on crape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts Is never crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts, and get well.
my little baby was given up by
three doctors who said that the con-
densed milk on which l fed her had
ruined the childs stomach. One of
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, so got some and prepared It as
follows: soaked IN tablespoonfuls
In one pint Of cold water for half an
hour, then strained OF the liquid and
mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
OF rich milk, put In pinch of salt
ard little sugar, warmed 1t and gave
1t to baby every two hours.
In this simple, easy way saved
baby's life and have built her up to a
strong healthy child. rosy and laugh
ing. The food must certainly be per-
feet to have such wonderful effect as
this. l can truthfully say I think It
is the best food In the world to raise
delicate babies on, and Is also o deli
cious healthful food for grown-ups as
we have discovered In our family"
Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to
the strong. healthy man or woman. It
stands for the true theory Of health.

The IHAW TRIAL.

Martin w. Littleton, chief counsel
in the defense of Harry X. Thaw.
asked for the acquittal of his client
upon the ground of insanity. declaring
he could not see how, in the face OF
the evidence, the jury could render
any other verdict.
Taking of evidence in the second
trial Of Harry X. Thaw for killing
Stanford White ended without Mr..
Jerome having made any attempt to
combat, with expert testimony, the
insanity claim OF the defense.
The Thaw defense closed its case
with "manic-depressive" insanity as
the explanation of the death OF Stan
ford White at the hands Of the young
Pittsburg millionaire, according to
three alienists.
The Thaw trial was adjourned be-
cause witnesses from Europe were de-
