CARE FOR EX-PRESDENTs, IS
PLEA OF GROVER CLEVELAND
Urges Duty to Make Provision for
Men Who Have Filled Highest
Post in Nation.

Referring to the poverty of Jefferson
when he left the presidency as blow
to national pride, Grover Cleveland
writing in the Youths Companion un
der to title Our People and Their ex
Presidents" argues that definite and
generous provision should be made fol
the maintenance of chief magistrates
at the expiration of their terms. He
deals with the subject at length and
explains that he feels he can do SO
without his sincerity being questioned
since he is beyond the need of aid
from the public treasury.
"The condition is by no means met"
Mr.. Cleveland writes, "by the meager
and spasmodlc relief occasionally fur.
nished under the guise of a military
pension or some other pretext, nor
would it be best met by making COM
pensation dependent upon the discharge
of senatorial or other official duty. Ou.
people ought to make definite and dec
orous provisions for all cases alike,
based on motives Of justice and fair
ness, and adequate to the situation"
Mr.. Cleveland describes the limita-
tions that his former high office place
on a retired President in his choice of
occupations and means of livelihood.
and how popular conception of him as
repository Of national dignity enforces
a scale of living that may not be within
his private means.
There is sort of vague, but none
the less imperative, feeling abroad in
the land that one who has occupied the
great office Of President holds In trust
Tor his fellow citizens certain dig
nifty which, in his conduct and manner
of life, he is bound to protect against

cents week. And wien he died h,
had amassed s1,5OO,OO0. Poor, lone
some old mani The world was no bet
ter off for this man. He took all II
would give, but he gave nothing In re
turn, either Of money or sympathy ol
life. So, when he died, they told about
him in the newspapers, and now Others
will spend the money that he gave VI
everything 10 gather. There can't bt
many who care whether he Is gone OIL
not Probably he had a few who loved
him, because the most unlovable of rs
are nearly always loved by somebody
But there isn't any street full of friends
who feel that something has gone our
Of their lives. He hasn't left an empty
place, for he never cared about other
people or other things, or to see and
know and understand and feel, and tc
put out his hand and get hold of the
hand Of the throbbing, living world
around him. People say That's q
queer story" It's more than a queer
story. 1t is real tragedy, because II
is the story Of a man who died before
he had begun to live.

loss or deterioration. Obedience to this
obligation prescrbes for him only such
work as in popular judgment is not
undignified. This suggests without ar.
gument reciprocal connection be-
tween the curtailment of opportunities
and a reasonable obligation Of indem-
nification."
One division of the Cleveland article
is devoted to the Occupations of an
ex-President," and in it the former
President reveals the multiplicity of
things which persons endeavor to bring
to the attention Of the retired states
man and the class Of affairs he is asked
to engage in.

KENTUCKY's TOBACCO WAR.
Wight Riders Inhict an Aggregate
Loss Of Nearly 81 ,OOO, 900.

The last exploit of the Kentucky
tobacco night riders in seizing the city
Of Hopkinsville, destroying 100000
worth Of property and seriously wound
Ing two men, has aroused an intensity
OF Interest throughout the State and far
beyond Its borders. These riders are
the most conspicuous feature of the
war that Is being waged by the tobacco
growers of Kentucky against the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company. By reducing
the competition in the buying of tobac-
co to practically nothing the company
forced down the price of leaf tobacco
until the growers say they can not real
lie enough to pay for raising it. The
tobacco crop Is mainstay in many
parts of Kentucky, and thousands de-
pend on 1t for their daily bread The
growers determined to force the price
up.
The plan proposed in the beginning,
and which is still being followed, was
to form a combination Of the growers
~ NPpOcS thC SOluUludllOl Ol tue UuHu-
facturers and by Withholding the to-
bacco make the tobacco trust come to
terms. Many associations Of growers
have been formed in the different to-
bacco raising regions of Kentucky. But
some OF the growers did not come into
the association ranks and others grew
weary Of waiting and sold their crops
The more violent men in the associa-
tions have resorted to the measures
that gave rise to the night riders and
by destroying the property of the to-
bacco company and the growers who
are not allied with them have sought
to carry through their plan by force
and terror.
The Hopkinsville rail was the second
time in twelve months that the night
riders seized and terrorized city. On
December 1, 1906, they entered Prince

In the very American state of Okla
homa Is little group Of fifteen lndl-
viduals of as pure American blood as
can be found in the country. They
own property to the extent of twelve
square miles, and are reported to be
In a fourlshlng condition. They are
fifteen buffaloes which were formerly
part Of the herd in the New York Zoo
logical Park. Their new home Is like
that to which their ancestors were ac-
customed, and 1t is hoped they will
thrive better than they could in a city.
and that they will have thousands of
descendants.

"made millions In his ninety years Of
life by never doing the usual thing"
These are some Of the things he never
did: He never Travelled; he never
Joined anything; he never paid for a

hotel or restaurant; his total expendi-
ture for car fare was less than one dol

he wouldn't smoke, not because 1t was
harmful, but because 1t cost him twelve

By a happy coincidence, the unveil
Ing of memorial statue to Queen Vic
toria at Lelth, Scotland, fell on the
day of the publication of the first vol
umes of her letters Lord Rosebery
made the address at the unveillng
and although he did not allude to the
letters, his Grafton was precisely II
the spirit Of them. They reveal q
simple, earnest, womanly nature, with
no hint of the intrigue and Jealousy
and self-seeking which SO commonly
hedge throne. The queens devotion
to the duties Of every day, as her let
tiers reveal it, her rigid impartiality
when she was called upon to deal with
men some Of whom she disliked as
much as she liked others, her gentle
firmness when her ministers tried to
Ignore her, and her inslstence that she
would not delegate her actual respoh-
sibility to any other hand-these are
the traits Of good mother quite as
much as those Of a great queen. Lord
Rosebery dwelt upon her womanllness
and its unreckoned powers for good.
Speaking Of the day when, as a mere
girl, she came to the throne, he said,
Queen Victoria was then, as 1t were,
the child, the darling of the people,
and she lived to become their venerat-
ed mother" "Motherlng' her subjects
was noble work for a lifetime. To
this Lord Rosebery had the courage
to add one other ground for national
obligation to her. Not the least of
the services that she rendered to u.s."
he boldly declared, SIS the effect Of her
training and example upon the present
King" 1t was a fitting time and place
for a grave tribute to the royal moth
er's royal son. AS adviser, wise diplo-
matist, peacemaker, he is doing honor
to her training, and showing the world
how the mother-be she high or lowly
-wields a power beyond the queens

Easy to Crfticise.

Its easy to sit in the sunshine
And talk to the man in the shads
IL is easy tc float in well-trimmed
boat
And point out the places to wade,
But once we pass into the shadows,
We murmur and fret and frown,
And our length from the bank, we
shout for plank,
Or throw up our haHds and go
Down.
1t is easy to sit In our carriage
And counsel the man on foot;
But get down and walk, and you'll
change your talk,
As you feel the peg IN your boot.

How best he can carry his pack;
But not one can rate burd en- 3

Can preach of sorrows worth;
But give it sip, and wryer lip
Was never made on earth.
