Only the roar of the great rock-blast
Is their requiem song when the day is

And the final darkness comes.
To the engineers. the wizards. whose word

And 10, the open way!
For them no flaring banners when a Bit

A PRESS BUREAU BREAK.

1t appears that the Taft press bureau
made very serious mistake the other
day. In the absence of the general
manager Mr.. Vorys, a statement was
sent out to the effect that Secretary
Taft would. if elected, be entirely and
absolutely Independent of the ROose-
welt influence and policies. Immediate
ly upon the return of Mr.. VOrys ne sent
out a reputation of the story, declar
ing it TO be unwarranted and entirely
without foundation in fact Thu pre-
sumption is that the man who wrote
it is now diligently engaged in seeking
another place.
And yet. at first glance, that story
must J ave looked pretty good TO the
man who prepared il Mr.. COosevelt
is not at all popular in some sections
of the country just now. Where he was
once extravagantly admired he is at
the present time just as extravagantly
hated. It is possible that some dele
gate votes might be swung TO Taft
that could not be swung to him If II
were known that he would follow in
the footsteps and be guided exclusive
Iy by the counsels of Mr.. Roosevelt.
The second thought is that 1T would
be extremely difficult to induce many
people to believe that Taft, If elected
president, would not strive to please
Mr.. Roosevelt. He would be most I'M
grateful if he did not. Secretary Taft
owes his present prominence in the
presidential race almost entirely to Mr..
Roosevelt. The president has for
months been his chief hacker. He said
recently that the Republican conven-
ton would be obliged TO nominate
either Taft or himself, which is the
nearest he has come to admitting that
circumstances might arise under which
he could be induced TO become a csndi-
date again.
The possibility of Mr.. Roosevelt's
nomination is, however, so remote as
ia he not worth considering. Taft viii
almost certainly be the nominee. And
il he is not named the president viii
not be named, either. If Mr.. Roose-
velt's influence is not strong enough
to bring about the nomination of Taft
If IS not strong enough to bring about
his own nomination. That would seen
10 be the logic of ne situation, if We
admit that Roosevelt is sincere in hi:
advocacy of Taft.
The consensus of opinion is that h'
will be strong enough to NJ II Taft
The secretary has the greater part o
the delegates instructed thus far ant
indications are not wanting that HI
will continue in the lead. His nomi
nation on the first ballot is not at al
impossible. On Gthe second OF, at tn
latest, the third ballot, it is foregon
conclusion.

SOME FAMOUS END MEN.
Death of Ben Cotton Recalls a Mum
Der OF Noted Ministries.
(NeW York Sun.O

When Ben Cotton, the Old-tllne MIN
strel, died the other day, Lew Dock
stader expressed the opinion that Bllly
Manning was the greatest end man that
ever held the place and that Billy En-
erson was next. Perhaps he knew these
famous MINISTRIES only in the days OF
their greatness. AS some OF the Old-
timers remember him, Billy Manning
at the height of his fame was never OF
more CONFUSING humor than he was on
the day. now almost fifty years ago
when he and Amzi S. Mott, George Har-
denbrook and George Hauser, none OF
them over 20, started out of the httit
city of Piqua, o., where they had muci
local celebrity as minstrel performers
and trudged westward. seeking WIDER
fame and incidentally money.
Billy Manning from the time he eoulc
toddle had been a continual laugh pro
Queer in Piqua with his quick wit MS
quaint, roIlicking humor, his extraoT-
binary talent for mimicry and his lnde'
scribably funny singing voice. In
different way Amzi Mott was as grea
a humorist as Billy Manning, and M
had the sweetest, most sympathetic
natural tenor voice one ever listened
to.
Billy Emerson also i'm his early days
was funnier then, when he was known
only in a limited circle, than he was
when his fame was worldwide. He was
originally a song and dance man, al
though he wasn't a man yet at that, and
his admirers declare that I'm the list o.
all great song and dance men none car
be found who was his peer. There are
no song and dance men any more.
Who that ever saw Billy Emerson ii
his song and dance, "Rip-tearing John
n.y." which was his great turn forty
five years ago or so, doesn't remembel
it as the very mastery of comic art il

of Schmitz. He did threaten to take
away the licenses OF the French restau-
rant keepers and they paid him money
to prevent him fulfilling his threat. 1t
was charged that the decision of the
district court was biased. No such
charge has been made against the SUI
preme court and it must be accepted
as law that a license in California is
not property. But what wide avenues
of graft that decision opens up
II the California decision is recognized
as authority in other states the graft
ers can ply their vocation with i'm
punity. Every man who operates I'M
der a license of any sort is liable to be
mulcted by some cheap thief who holds
a petty public office. And nothing can
lawful to threaten to take away Ii
cense unless blackmail is forthcoming
it is not unlawful 10 threaten to refuse
license. There are limitless possi-
bilities for the dishonest.
However. as far as Schmitz is indi-
vidually concerned, the law is not
through with him. He is out of jail,
but he is under bond to appear for trial
under indictments charging him with
other forms of grating, and ii is be-
| lieved he can and win be convicted
again. Prosecutor Heney has been
quoted as saying that he will not let
ga for a fnomenf The STInreD1e court
decision will have no effect upon fu-
ture prosecutions.
There is, for example, an indictment
charging Schmitz with stealing a large
sum from the relief funds raised fol-

Surely there can be no reversal of a

vided the charge is conclusively

at the time, ran over and mingled with
the main body, and / could see them
eating some heritage which had evil
deptly been gathered and left in a pile
for them.
The other two apes acted just as
the first pair: they sat at the mouth
OF the pass. gazing down the narrow
way, with their backs to their COM
panions. The apes soon finished their
meal, and then fell to playing. and |

BILE Juvenile pastime commonly called

hide and seek. while quite q few of
the more seasoned ones had a try at
wrestling matches and performed ac-
robatic stunts. The little apes not en-
gagged In play with their mothers sat
over near the caves. watching the sport
and chattering and screeching in evil
dent enjoyment.
while this innocent business was
going on, the true character of the
silent apes at the mouth of the pass
was revealed to me. ! happened 10

apes standing on all tours, their nec5s
stretched, and their senses evidently

/ ing down the pass, and one of them
/ suddenly bounded away. and disap-
! peared in the rocky psssageway.
THE ape returned in few moments
with bristling hair and teeth showing
under drawn lips. The ape voiced q
shrill whistling cry, and his compare
! ion performed the same vocal stunt
and the two raced madly across the opeT
I toward the other simiaDs. Those cries

prise the monkeys and had sounded the
alarm in time. The leopard was
splendid specimen of his kind, and
larger than any I had seen at the Lon
don Zoo. He paused at the head of
the valley, looked around with great
yellow eyes, and then seeing that his
intended victims had escaped, vented
a howl of rage. The cry of the leopard
brought Hardy, my other friends and
the Morocco boys to my side, but /
called to them not TO use their rifles
as 1 felt that the little drama was not
yet over, and ! was correct in my
guess.
''The leopard had not seen us, as
we were concealed by a low fringe of
powders, and he could not scent us,
as the wind wes blowing in our direc-
ton. The big beast, after Kidding him
self of that whining howl, trotted
across the arena and paused just I'M
der the caves. He reared aloft on his
launches. and resting his forepaws
against the rocky wall. growled flu
riously. and made an ATTEMPT to as
cend. There was no monkey blood in
his veins. however, and no monkey agil-
ity in his limbs, so his attempt was
flat failure.
But even while the leopard stood
as though undecided what TO do, still
resting against the wall, the apes. in
their safe retreat, took the offensive.
About a dozen or so of the larger mon
keys appeared at the mouth of one Of
the caves, and going To the edge of the
shelf they threw themselves fiat on
their stomachs and peered down al

chatter, scTeeched and booted and mad

scHMITz VICTORY.

The release of Eugene Schmitz, for
n,er mayor of San Francisco, under a
decision of the California supreme
court affirming the San Francisco dis
trict court of appeals, will cause deep
disappointment TO all who had hoped
that that arch CRATER would be COM
PEELED TO spend many years in. prison.
The district court, ii will be remem-
bered, reversed the conviction OF
schmitz on the ground that the threat
10 take away a license unless the own
er of the Iicesse submitted to extortion.
did not, under the statute, constitute
extortion because a license was not
property.
There was no question about the guilt
