Misfortune already has perched itself
upon the banner OF the Independence

into existence by William Randolph

voters of the country a chance to hedge
on both Bryan and Taft.

Mr.. Hisgen's visit to Chicago. Every
thing stolen therefrom was insignin-
cant when compared with one bulky
package. which contained the real
laundering speeches that Hisgen was
wont TO deliver from one end OF the
old Bay State to the other. Now the
candidate cannot begin his campaign
until he has some more speeches.
This little incident recalls another in
the life OF Mr. Hisgen. which occurred
while he was running as the Independ-
ence League candidate for governor two
years ago.
A Washington correspondent was at
that time touring the New England
States in search OF special political ar
tcles OF interest. He wrote ahead to Mr..
Hisgen and asked for permission 70

Arrest of q Bad Phonograph
May Be Demanded by Sheriff
Clamp Lid on Park-Manager May Make
Some Arrests Himself

Some one or something is going to
get hurt in the vicinity of Glen Echo.
Fatalists say that the day viii be Sun
day. Sheriff Mullican, who became
peevish because a monograph record at
Glen Echo Park took U5erties with his
name, apparently has overlooked the
one best bet. He cannot be everywhere
at once. therein lying his weakness. a
discovery made by Walter Shaw. the
manager OF the park
Now, Mr.. Shaw can see a joke as far
as any one. enjoy It as "eu. and count
er with one That's what he may do II
Sherin Muliican doesn't watch out
Sheriff Mullican appaIv ntly has failed
10 realize that Walter Shaw, he man
aver Of the park. is q constable Of
Maryland county, and when 1t comes 70
making an arrest he can do 1t just as
well and make the arrest just as discon-
certing a. can the irritable sheriff. Mr..
Shaw intmates that he is going 10 run
his park pretty much TO suit himself
next Sunday, and Sherin AIuIlican IN
doubtedly viii attempt TO interpret the
law and make an arrest II he ''sus-
picions' a violation.
Shaw VIII RetaHate.
At the first sign Of an arrest on his
premises, Mr. Shaw viii hop into his
automobile and, CARRIED with his badge
of authority, scOur the country and put
the heavy hand Of the law on every
club and private individual violating
the Sunday laws. which, he says, have

wee bit Of excitement at the park next
Sunday. The entire matter has now

Manager Shaw, Of Glen Echo, opined
that a photograph can neither be ar

Thereby hangs a tale
Three Sundays ago the sheriff and his

Taft Promised China y. S. Help
In Banquet Speech NeUer Printed

The Chinese remember always that the
United States is the only one of the
great powers which has not attempted
to grab a slice OF Chinese territory
They also recall always that after the
fall Of Pekin and the end OF the Boxer
rebellion. IL was the United States which
prevented the great powers Of Europe
and Japan from partitiOning China
These two facts cause the Chinese to
look upon the United States as their
truest and best friend among the pow
ers. nOtHtt hstandiuE that they Chafe
under the operation Of the American
exclusion laws. IN this light, note the
significant part OF Mr.. Tafts address.

relations between the United States and
China In the first place. through the
earnest efforts Of President Roosevelt.

the speech, and considers that II was
