difficult to comprehend the real ccndi-

There is rarely any hope of restor~

the COW go dry as soon as practicable.
What the COW will amount to in the
future as milk producer it is impos-
sibie to predict. Much depends on the
present condition of the udder and
the chances of it's being restored to q
normal state.-Dr. Tuthill.

The Human Side of Governor

9s~Ss
In the March American Magazine
Ida M. Tarbell writes a very friendly
and readable character sketch of Gov
ernor Hughes. For an early number
The American Magazine has the prom
ise OF a character sketch of Secretary
Taft by William Allen White.
In the Hughes article Miss Tarbell
really acquaints the reader with the
man-with the haman side of the Gov.
ernor. Here is part of what Miss
Tarbell says on this point:
1T is true that work has overshadow-
ed everything else in MIR. Hughes's
case, but it is not true that he is merely
q machine. On the contrary, work
with him is sweetened by all sorts of
healthy interests and recreations. He
is no anaemic, cantankerous bookworm.
His eve is clear, his cheek ruddy, his
sleep sound. In private life he is q
buoyant, joyful person, fond of books
of all sorts, stories of adventure-Mr.
Dooley, lsben, Henry James-a most
catholic taste-fond of music, a golf
player, q mountain climber-he has
been over the most of Switzerland on
foot-fond of his friends and his fam.
lily, his college and his church.
"If he does not slap the Albany poll.
ticians on the back and call them Bill
and Tom and Joe, it is because he was
not brought up that way He Ger
tainly meets them frankly and looks
them straight in the eye. If there il
often twinkle in his eye as he greett
them, it is the justifable twinkle of tht
man who has played an open game anG
won.
"Nor is it true that the human sid,
of Mr.. Hughes never comes out in hi,
public life. 1t is not hardheartednes
which makes him hold those unde
him to such rigid account. It is devo
tion to the idea that a public servan
must be efficient, that the federation o
ine6iciency is wrong parallel to th'
federation of dishonesty. Even whe1
be is severe in his judgement Of a man
work he is almost invariably gentle to
ward the man himself.

The Campaign Is On.

Tammany l. promising New York to
Mr.. Bryan; the assistant secretary of
the Republican national committee is
confident the fight will be in the West;
the Commoner thinks Governor Johnson
can carry Minnesota for the Bryan
Kern ticket; contributions are pouring
in on Republican Treasurer Sheldon
and the campaign is on. What will it
produce? It behooves us of the East
to be ready.
First, it viii produce as much of a
fare over the Independence League as
half dozen newspapers intelligently
edited can light up for Mr.. Hearst.
The New York American has already
made its publishers position plain as
the type on the page. He is disguised
with the Republican and ntemptuous
OF the Democrats. Wherefore there must
be a third party properly to represent
the ''progressives," and take votes
from Mr.. Bryan.
Second, It will produce a back SILVER
ing scare as to the States of the Middle
West. 1t is plain the Democrats pin
their fondest hope on the possibility of
the three States north OF the
Ohio. If Illinois Polled a plurality OF
305,00O for Roosevelt, Indiana one Of
90 300, and Ohio one OF 225,OOO, that IS
only an indication of the overwhelming
change which has come over the people
in four years, cording 10 Democratic
judgment
Third, there will be much scattered
fighting. Tammany must do what it
can to carry New York. If the Demo
Gratis invade the three States between
the Mississippi and the Allegheny, the
will cross-hre by going into
Tennessee, Kentucky, and Maryland as
if they meant (which it may easily
prove they do. Mr.. Bryan surely hopes
to gain Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho,
: tab, Colorado, and Washington, and
in three of those States Republican
Senator'S retire, and must be fought for
by the Republican Congressional com
mittee
Excitement will be plenty. 1t will
have to be if the Roosevelt plurality of
2, 545,5l5 is to be brought down to what
the law calls a reasonable doubt"

Campaign Fund Publicity.

As it stands now, the matter Of cam
paign fund publicity rests with the two
candidates, Taft and Bryan, who are
directly in control of their party organ
izations. Though the Republican con-
vention failed to indorse the agitation
on behalf of this publicity, there is no
doubt about Taft's position. The Re
publican candidate came out squarely
for open dealing in his letter to Senator
Burrows last spring The convention
that nominated him for President blum
dered in not following his leadership.
But, fortunately for Taft, he stands
committed on the right side Through
his campaign managers, he has endeav-
Ored to counteract the lodging done
by the convention through the appoint
ment of a New Yorker to be treasurer
of the Republican national committee.
The acts of Treasures. Sheldon will be
amenable to the New York State law
requiring publicity of campaign con-
tributions and disbursements. In some
quarters the efficacy of this arrange
ment is questioned on the ground that
the New York law may not cover trans
actions in other States; but when the
matter of campaign fund publicity was
before the Committee on Elections in
Congress, it was argued that a State
law would cover national campaign
in case the national treasurer were a
citizen of the State having such a law.
It is said that Mr.. Taft agrees with this
opinion. Mr. Sheldon himself says
that he is and always has been in favor
Of pubEcity.
The outlook is for a clean and honor
able campaign. The two leading can
di~~tes for the Presidency are of one
mind on this subject The people must
be uealt with honestly. They have car
rico the burden of the special interest
long enough.

MONDAY EVENING. JULY 10. 1905.
As to Rates of Speed.

A girl has been arrested by the local
authorities for driving horse at a
speed of twenty-five miles an hour. We
are from Missouri. We have got to be
shown. Why a horse going at that
rate through one of our city streets
would make the average speeding auto
mobile look like a moving van
As a matter of fact, there is the
greatest unlikelihood that the horse
was doing more than fourteen or fifteen
miles. Twenty miles an hour is a mile
in three minutes, and when Flora TEN
pie made mile in 2:4O the world lost
its balance Horses have cut the 90
from the record since, but they don't
do it on paved streets, with a heavy
carriage, and without a trained driver.
This whole business of estimating
speed for the purposes Of prosecution
would be funny if it were not so costly
4 street car goes sailing along, and
the report is gravely made that its
speed was twenty miles. An automo-
BIZ is entered as making thirty five.
A morse is seriously supposed TO have
done twenty-five. But, as a matter Of
fact, the utmost limit of the. street car
is fourteen miles, the most trustworthy
spc -dometer which money can buy puts
the rate of the motor car at perhaps
eighteen miles, the horse that can do
twenty-five miles is a rare prize, and
the policeman who can and does attain
q speed of twenty-five miles in our city
streets is not only a wonderful athlete,
but a menace to property, limb and life.

PaVenentitiS.

you know there's a new form of
mental disease you might call pave
mentitis pavement itch. When
the patient has it badly so that he
can't be happy when removed from his
customary environment, he is incurable.
A man isn't a sound man, nor a woman
a healthy woman, who can't stand alone
on his own two legs and be nourished
Intellectually and emotionally from the
herd. Almost nobody needs rest.
What they want is hard work and
tranquil minds"
Thus does Mr.. Robert Herrick ex-
plot his philosophy of rus vs.. urbs in
his extremely doubtful new book
Together" He is not far wrong. OF
home the city man has as much right
to think afTectionately as the farmer
But the corner isn't home. The pave.
ment isn't home. And when a New
Yorker talks fe-lingly OF the gay and
white" and not of his home, it is
sign that his life needs a mOorinp, and
he's adrift in shoal waters.
But Mr.. Herriek means more than
this. He means also that men and
women can never BEAUTIFULLY grow far
The Washington times., 1908-07-13

apart from their brothers and sisters.
Many think they can. But they can't.
For the test of healthful growth is
happiness, and there is noEe of the
eomPonents of happiness in solitude or
assumed superiority or social mountain
climbing. The only kind of happiness
that lasts is that which upsprings from
increasing usefulness, and there is no
kind OF usefulness which is not natural
ly means of bringing the workmen
and his fellows closer and closer.
In all of this lies the explanation of
the rapid growth of suburban life in
America. At trolley car distance the
man Is still close enough TO his work.
But the intervening two miles, or three,
or four, or forty, from the germ centers
of 'pavementitis" are the vestibule to a
fuller, more tranquil, more genuinely
happy life. The modern suburb gives
the American family a home with all
the material elements which the word
uggests-fresh air, a lawn, a garden,
maybe, and surely climbing rose, with
space to play out of doors, and the
rustic OF trees to keep the heart attune
to the music of nature. Our city folk
are responding to the call. Our bounda-
ries are stretching back over the hills,
and our finty streets are becoming
drives. As this movement progresses,
we shall hear less and less of what Mr..
Herrick so aPtly terms 'pavementitis."
