Another Unlucky "Depositor."

few weeks ago an Alabama man visit
ed Washington for the purpose of obtain
Ing the redemption by the Treasury De-
partment of $4,000 which had been
buried by him for safekeeping, but had
rotted into an almost indistinguishable
mass of scraps. He got all but a few
dollars of his original deposit thus be-
ing more fortunate, up to date, than the
foolish Chicago woman described in the
following dispatch from that city:
Mrs. Anna Ludwig of South Chicago is
out 81, AGO because she believed her money
was safer in the pillow of her babys 60
cart than it would be in a bank. Two
men who boarded at her house offered to
take the baby out for an airing Sunday
evening. They did not return. Neither
did the baby. Mrs. Ludwig became
alarmed, and an exciting hunt along
Commercial avenue followed. The baby
and go-cart were found, but the money
was gone
This woman refused to put sufficient
faith in human nature to intrust her
money to well-organized institution
safeguarded by laws. Yet she trusted two
men with her child. Many people rate
their cash higher than their offspring.
This case may later figure in Mr..
Bryan's speeches on the guarantee-of-de-
posits proposition. 1t and the Alabama
incident ought to supply him with eff
fective material as object lessons of the
distrust of the people for the banking in
situations of the country

The G. A. r. Parade.

The New York Tribune presents a
copy of a photograph of the reviewing
stand at Toledo on the day of the G. A.
R. parade. Those in the seats of honor
are Taft, Foraker. Mayor Whitlock. Gov
Harris, Senator Dick, Corporal Tanner
Gen. Brown and Bishop Fallows, seated In
the order mentioned. Judge Taft is wide
eyed and open-mouthed, wearing the
expression Of an interested boy. Mr.
Foraker wears a scowl-the effect prob
ably of the strain through which he has
lately passed. Mayor Whitlock gives q
fair imitation OF a literary sociologist
Gov Harris looks pleased, as if he ex-
pected reelection. Mr.. Dick is laughing
Corporal Tanner looks grave, but serene
Gen. Brown wears smile of unmistak.
able approval, while Bishop Fellows
seems silently to bless the procession
The Foraker expression, in striking effect
leads all the rest. Had the photographer
given the usual admonition 1t would have
been better. But nobody told the senator
to look pleasant. and he did not.

Politics in the Bluegrass.

For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain the heather Chinee does
not always hold over the American
politician.
The campaign for the democratic nomi-
nation for Congress in the seventh Ken
lucky district closed only the other day.
The seventh is the famous Ashland dis
trict, which in time has been represented
in the House by Henry Clay. John c..
Breckenridge. James b. Beck and w. c.
P Breckenridge. 1t embraces the heart
of the bluegrass section of the state.
There were two candidates-the sitting
member. Mr. Kimball. and Mr.. Cantrell,
well known in the district. 1t was nip
and tuck between the men when the
Franklin county convention met. Frank
fort, the capital of the state, is the
county seat of Franklin, and the conven-
ton assembled there. 1t looked as if the
vote of that county might decide the
question and the outlook was not bright
for the Kimballites.
This is from the Frankfort correspond
ence of the Louisville Courier Journal
telling what did and did not happen on
convention day:
Friends of Kimball had formed a plan

Japan's Reception of the Fleet.

Apprehension is expressed in this coun-
try lest some of the features of Japan S
welcome to the American sailors of the
battleship fleet, while strictly typical OF
that country, may not square with west
ern ideas of propriety. For example, II
has been stated that some of the cities
visited are planning to entertain the sea-
men at feasts with geishas In attendance
and with liquor unlimited. 1t Is easy to
see that if the fears that have been eX-
pressed are based on fact, our naval rep
resentatives abroad will be treated to a
series of honors seriously shocking to
American good taste. 1t is not to be be-
lieved, however, that the Japanese gov
eminent will countenance any perform
ances which, while in accord with eastern
views, are contrary to our standards Of
decency. This is not to say that western
ways are necessarily better or higher or
more moral. That is a matter Of race
custom and in expressing the hope that
the receptions given to the sailors will be
free from Objectionable features the peo-
pie of this country are merely asking that
our ways, our standards be respected. Ii
1t is true that what the Y. M. c. A. OF
Japan and other organizations of a similar
character are protesting aSlnSL IS dctually
contemplated by the Japanese local au-
thorities, 1t is to be hoped that the ambas-
sador stationed at this city will inform his
government of the likelihood of bad eff
feet to follow hospitality which, however
sincere and commendable and valued, is
by a mist AXE of judgment calculated to
offend the sensibilities of our people.
Thus far in its course the fleet has
created only the best possible impression.
It's influence as a missionary preaching
the doctrine of the real Americanism, the
spirit of the republic, has been wide
spread. The admirable condr It of the
sailors ashore has had a marked effect
for good and the American people as a
whole have been raised in the estimation
Of the world. 1t is hoped that this SPLEEN
did record will be maintained. A trying
period is at hand however, with the
fleet touching at oriental ports, and the
foreign authorities can effectively CO.
operate with this government by spread
ing no needless temptations in the way of
the men.

If, when climbing in the mountains, you should
see some villains hurl
A woman to destruction where the waters hiss
and whrl.
Do not plunge into the canyon to effect a rescue

Or attempt to bring TO justice every darky
scOwling knave:
You will get hero medal and you'll cause
all kinds OF woe.
For you'll spoil dandy subject for a moving
picture show.
II you see the fast mail boarded by a bearded,
fiendish crew,
Do not try TO the treasure-youll regret
1t IL you do;
Ii you SenseleSS maiden hurled kerSplss h
from of q boat
Do not plunge into the current-you will only
be a goat
For the moving picture artist is abroad through

And the stunts Of outdoor actors one can see

Do not try to shield the vagrant who is struck
down by the cop.
Or the chances the bluecoat will
you for IA mop.
Do not heed the cry of fire from tenement

For It's nothing but a dummy that will fall
from window high;
In fact, don't be heroic, till you've looked from

And have made it quite. quite certain there's

The LOQUACIOUS One.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
It's news to hear that Minister WI
talks too much" when 1t is of record
that he hasn't asked a thousand ques-
tions a day since his return to this
country.
From the Albany Evening Journal.
The rumor of the intended recall OF
Minister WI Ting-fang is one of those
stories that are told at irregular inter-
walls.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel
And they say WI has talked too much.
How quickly those Orientals learn to
initiate the white man.
From the Pittsburg Gazette Times.
1t must be admitted that Minister Wus
recent statement, that he expects to live
200 years clashes somewhat with the
rumor that he is about to lose his head.
From the Newark Evening News.
The American people will note with
pleasure that the New York Herald has
declined to permit the recall of Minister
WI on the part of China.
From the Atlanta Journal.
WI Ting-fang doesn't see why he should
be recalled simply because he has been
making a few commencement addresses
to the sweet girl graduates.
From the Detroit News.
China has just sent WI Ting-fang no
tice that among other recipes for a
life 200 years long is this: Don't talk too
much.

The Kaiser's Coup.

1t begins to appear that Emperor Will
liam's stroke in Morocco in recognizing
Mulay Hafid as monarch in advance of
the other powers and plainly in disregard
of the spirit of the Algeciras agreement,
has failed of effect in Morocco, whatever
may happen elsewhere. Indeed. it may
turn out to have been a serious blunder,
both for Mulay Hafd and for Germany.
Recollections are Immediately revived of
the kaiSer'S famous telegram of congratu-
lation to President Kruger when the
Jameson raid into the South African re-
public had failed. That message did
kruger no good, and came close to pre-
cipitating war between England and
Germany.
1t was not the part of Germany to rush
in with a recognition of Hafid while
Abd-el-AzZiZ was still the titular SOW
ereign and from a military point of view
yet remained a potential factor. Had he
been undeniably at the end of all re-
sources, all his allies and supporters in
the field routed and his foreign Supporters
Indifferent to his fate, he would nave
been negligible and the recognition OF
Hafid would have been a logical conse-
auence. But even then it would be In
cumbent upon France and Spain to make
the move in their capacity as manufactures
Of the powers under the terms of the
Algeciras agreement.
: Germanys act was obviously intended
to serve notice that the Berlin govern
rnent does not regard France and Spain
as, in any degree charged with the de-
termination of Moroccan affairs. 1t Is
perhaps feeler deliberate effort to test
the temper of the powers. If SO. the is
SUE has been averted temporarily by a
sudden change of conditions I'm Morocco
= partisan of Abd-el-Azziz has defeated
Hafid's army, and it is reported that
Morocco city has been recaptured by the
sutans forces. In this event the kaiser's
recognition may have to be withdrawn
unless he proceeds to defy the powers by
Tending hand openly to Hafd NO
one. seems to look for such breach at
present. But there is no mistaking the
sinister suggestiveness OF Germany's at
fitude toward France. This Moroccan
interference comedies with more than ac-
.cldental exactness with the annual ma
neuvers of the German army in Alsace-
Lorraine. on the very borderland of the
lost provinces. If the kaiser has put a
chip on his shoulder he could not well
have chosen more significant method.

A Nice Game for Rows

Some small boys idea of fun is beyond
easy adult comprehension. for few men
were maliciously mischievous in their
youth. Here is a news item in a New
York paper which shows the manner in
which some of the bright boys of the
metropolitan district are entertaining
themselves:
gang of boys in the vicinity of Forest
Park Heights. Queens borough, is to sus-
pend bricks by cords from overhead
bridges so as to smash the headlights and
cab windows of passing locomotives. Sew
eral boys were amusing themselves in
that manner yesterday, and very soon
after they had placed some bricks in po-
sition at the bridge at Myrtle avenue an
express train, east bound, rushed past.

Themselves on George on Valley Forge"
Sometimes l shed transient tear
To think of what he's missing here.
If I can serve my country well
/ have call 10 go and tell
Ny story and to travel far
Wherever these Chautauquas are.
No offices have charms for me.
Except | say, as they might be
The means Of bringing me the bones -
Chaut auqua reaching stepping stones,
