People Covered With Shame.

Fortunately the fulminations from
the white house carry no conviction,
so prejudiced, unfair and untrue are
they. They are humiliating not be-
cause they are from the president.
The Office is degraded. The people
are covered with shame
THE little postmasters are re-
moved for engaging in politics. The
most of the business of the presi-
Dental Office is devoted to a politi-
clan. Cabinets are called, interviews
furnished, telephones and telegraph
wires kept hot, the clerical force is
worked far into the night-if the
newspaper special correspondents
are to be believed-and our square
deal president is chatting at the bit
to go on the platform.
The eyes of the American people
are opening wide. They are not all
deceived. What they need is to ex-
ercise themselves in the judicial
temperament. They are too easily
stampeded by the frenzy of the mad
reformer
THE American citizen can not re-
turn too soon to constitutional gov
eminent and the reinforcement OF
business with his confidence"

IA SHAMEFUL DEMAGOGUE
SAYS CHANCELLOR j. r.. DAY OF
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

Seeks Money of Corporations to Elect
Him, and Then Tongue Lashes
Them to Gain Public Acclaim.
That the Standard Oil Company
remains under the venomous hatred
of President Roosevelt for reasons
best known on the inside while the
Steel Corporation, the greatest trust
in America, receives his appreciation
and consent to increase it's holdings,
was the statement of Chancellor
James Roscoe Day, of Syracuse Uni
versity, Syracuse, N. Y.
The chancellor charges that not
only did Roosevelt, when a candidate
for president four years ago, hobnob
with the trust magnates and urge
them to secure money to elect him,
but that after his election he ap-
pointed to his cabinet a man who
held at the time retaining fee from
a large corporation, that man being
still member of the cabinet.
The interview follows:
The things that l predicted more
than two years ago, and that are
on record, have come true and Meth
er side is hurrying to their conclu-
sion
Never has this country known
such a condition politically. Never
has it seen it's president descend to
such shameful degeneracy of dem
agogy. The boast of his high morali-
ties far above trusts, which he con-
siders the sum of all villainly, is
made contemplate by revelations of
the glazing inconsistency of the chief
booster

dust large enough to be readily de-
tected by the eye is allowed to escape,
the greatest care cannot always avoid
the falling of some small filings to the
carpet.
In purchasing these carpets great
Judgment is exercised. Those are
sought in which the weave is as close
as possible, so that the material will
hold the scattered bits of gold. 1t is
not unusual for the authorities to get
$4,000 worth of gold from an old car
pet. Other thrifty devices are used
in order to capture escaped particles
of gold. The floor sweepings are
treasured with the greatest care and
they furnish enough money to pay the
salaries of several employees about the
building. Much gold goes up the chin
neys and they are often scraped and
the resultant SCOT and dirt scanned
for gold. Employees who handle bars
of gold are not permitted to dispose of
the aprons, overalls or gloves with
which they are provided, for when
these articles are burned after they
have outlived Their usefulness they

SHE GOT HER BEAR.
Prodded Him Out with Scissors, Then

AS for that grit of women-meaning
Indian women-which has been cele-
brated in a well-]znown book, there is
a story which is good evidence of their
physical courage
A dealer in skins tells of squaw
who was walking along on her snow
shoes one day when her small boy saw
bear buried up under the snow in his
winter sleep. She could not kill him
where she was, so she dashed pair
of scissors to sapling, prodded him
out, and smashed his head in with her
tOmahawk.
Il gave her ten dollars for che skin"

GoLD-eEARING CARPET.
Floor Coverings That Grow Valuable
with Age.

A reuuisition has come to the treas
ury department at Washington from
the San Francisco mint asking that a
new carpet be placed in the adjusting
room, as the one there now has been
worn out after ten years. service. In
ordinary instances such requisitiOn
would excite no unusual interest on
the part of the treasury officials, but
in this case great care has to be taken
in removing the old carpet, for it has
become Eaore valuable with each days
service, because it is literally lined
with gold dust.
The old carpet will be burned, and
i: is expected that between $4,000 and
$1,000 will be realized from the ashes.

Cat Characteristics,

Cats, rather than belong to a new
master. will cling in grief to the old
walls and refuse to be taken away
from them. But if they can follow
their master they will go with him tc
the end of the world. One must not
forget that they are extraordinarily
nervous and timid, and from timidity
easily lost their heads and run away,
they themselves know not whittier.
They must be well protected and made
to feel that they are guarded and
cared for. We must not, however, ex-

but also that it would be more than
doubtful whether he could re-enter the
states subsequently. Therefore, the
only feasible alternative is to get z
wife over from Japan without going to
fetch her.
All this appears to have been an
ticipated very cleverly by the we'll
known Mr.. Shimanuki, a prominent
Christian. Some time ago he estab-
lished in the Koisikawa suburb of
Tokyo an institution called the Ryok-
kokai, which may be freely translated
Self-Help society.
The inmates of this institution,
mostly graduates from girls high
schools, receive education in all sub
jects likely to be of practical utility,
such as housekeeping, cooking, sew
ing, typewriting, etc. In fact they are
expressly equipped to be the wives ct
Japanese settlers in the United
States.
1t IS between this institution and
the Japanese settlers that photo.
graphs have been exchanged, and by
this means the settlers are enabled
to obtain helpmates whose qualifica'
tons and record are known and
whose appearance is rendered familiar
by the photographs. The idea is that
If the settlers thus marry and bring
up families, their sons will become
naturalized American citizens, and by
degrees the anti-Japanese feeling In
the United States will die out. The
conception seems eminently practical
and useful, nor can we doubt for a
moment that the Japanese authorities
in Tokyo will refrain from interfering
with the program.-Japanese Weekly

away from the two fishing boats WITH
out difficulty. The wind being as It
was necessitated hard beat out, and
again this gave the smaller vessels an
advantage, for they could hold on
where the great ship was compelled
to tack for fear of shoal water. And
with every tack they gained distance.
Darlington studied the sea intently
and concluded that if the wind did not
shift and it did not come to blow hard
er than it was, there was every pros
pect that both boats would overhaul
the ship. Whether he could beat
Strathgate at that game, however, in
the time at his disposal was a ques-
ton. At any rate there was nothing
to do but hold On. Master Haight had
viewed Carrington's usurpation of the
helm with some misgiving at first.
but his distrust soon gave place to
admiration, for never was small
boat better handled than by the young
naval officer If Darlington had been
sailing the cutter in race for a stake
of 10000, he could not have watched
her more carefully or handled her
more skillfully. He made everything
tell.
That worthy fisherman, Cooper, who
was sailing Strathgate's boat, albeit
he did very we'll, was mere tyro CON-
J pared to Darlington. Indeed, Caring
ton felt as if he were sailing his boat
for love, houor; happiness, revenge, all
the passions that can engross heart
and move SOUL Strathgate was no
sailor, but after an hours rapid sailing
even he could see that eventually Car
rington would overhaul him. He
spoke of this to Cooper, wringing
reluctant admission of the truth of
his conclusions from the sailor, but
the latter promised to put him along
side the merchant ship at least be-
fore Darlington ran him down.
