Why Not Mr. Roosevelt.

When orthodox organs like
the Springfield Republican re-
produces paragraphs like the
following, there is something
doing in certain inner circles;
Perhaps if the post could be
kept open until after March 4,
1909, Mr.. Roosevelt would be
willing to accept the amba ssa'
dorship to Germany. Then
there could be a meeting of two
great souls, and William and
Theodore could settle the fate

Bars Negro From Jury Duty,

Georgetown, Del, April IL
BY reporting that he cannot
find the negro, Levin J. Harmon.
whose name has been drawn for
jury duty, the Sheriff has solv.
ed the race problem, which has
aroused much talk throughout
Delaware.
No negro has ever served on
a Grand Jury in the State.
Hence, when it was discovered
that Harmon 8 name had been
drawn, a storm of protest arose.
Now the Sheriff reports that be
is unable to find a white man of
that name, and that he is hard
ly supposed to seek a negro, as
no such summons has ever be
fore been given to him.

The Value of Education

It was five minutes before
noon. The mayor and the state
superintendent had spent an
hour talking to the children in
an Ohio school, and just before
the stroke of the gong the
chairman of the local school
committee was called upon.
Children" he said, pointing
toward the window; las you go
out from school in about two
minutes you will see a gang Of
men who are now shoveIiug
cinders into a railway train
They are earning $35 month.
Beside them is a time keeper
earning $55. At the head of
the train is an engineer get
ting 800, and over him is a
superintendent getting 5000
What is the difference between
those men? Education Get

Political Demagogues.

The poltlcal conditions OF the
last decade have been favora.

rest growing out of the ques'
tions discussed have furnished

up like the plague of flies and
locusts in Egypt to vex and dis
turb the land.
The political demagogue has
no settled convictions. He is
without knowledge of princi-
piles. He never inquiries wheth.
or a proposition is just, right or
expedient. He is essentially an
agitator, with an insatiate de-
sire to keep himself in the pub.

1t is generous and very like
Senator Stone to declare that
he does not want to be consid.
cred as one of the big four del.
egates to the Denver convention
and that some able democrat.
not an Office holder, should be
given the honor. There is but
one contingency that may arise
and that is exceedingly remote
why bis request should not be
granted. If some of the eastern
moguls continue to fight Brya n
and there should be the slightest
doubt about his unanimous
nomination, then it will be nee.
essary to have Senator Stone in
the harness to do some of the
hard fighting. He has no su
perior in political management
and is the kind of a fearless
fighter that will make the ira
ducers of Bryan get to the rear.
His request, however, should
be complied with and some 9th

PreeOcity and Degeneracy.
April Century.

April Century.
Precocity is not always a
thing to be desired. Indeed, it
may, just as surely as prema
turely ripened fruit indicates
decay and early death, mean an
early degeneration and loss OF
the mental faculties. By many
biologists it is considered an ex.
preston of premature senility.
AS Lombrose has indicated
many of the men of genius were
subjects of degeneracy. There
is a period of antenatal growth
known to scientists as the senile
period. embracing the fourth
and fifth mouths of prenatal ex'
istence, 1t has been found that
a slight arrest of development
at this period is characteristic
of the class of beings known a:
uegenerates. and precocity il

Credit Association

An organization has been effected
in this city, the same as it has i'll
all the cities on the ranges, to do
away with those who fail to pay
their bills. Some have been in the
habit of changing stores after being
refused credit, but this will no
longer be possible as a man who
neglects to pay at one place will be
blacklisted in all the stores in town.
Some of the floating population
have a habit of getting credit for a
month at every store in town after
which they move to another town
and go through the same perfor-
nance. This is also cut out. All
the merchants are members of the
association.
