A Temporary Interest.

just after the election of 1904 man
who was prominent among the advocates
of Mr. Parker's nomination at ST. Louis
remarked that great many people who
were advocating Mr.. Parker's nomina
tion showed very little interest in the
campaign after the nomination. 1t is
true. There are certain financial inter
ests which are always active before the
convention; they want'to dominate both
parties and nominate both candidates.
After the convention adjourns, they pick
out their candidate and proceed to help
elect him, ignoring entirely the other
candidate, even if they helped to force
him upon the convention. That is just
the situation at this time. There are
certain monopolistic influences that are
demanding that the democrats nominate a
man friendly to predatory wealth These
men have their representatives in the
various states and they are working
underhand. These men are speaking in
whispers; they are working underground.
IF they can control the democratic con-
vention and nominate some one in whom
the predatory interests have confidence,
they will then feel sure that the demo-
cratic party has no chance, and proceed
to help the republican candidate.
Can they fool the voters? Not this
time. The experience of four years ago
has not been forgotten and with that
experience fresh in memory, the demo,
Gratis will put none but the trustworthy on
guard. If the democratic voter wants to
understand the rea! purpose of the trust
papers, let him compare the eulogies of
Judge Parker which appeared before the
convention with the denunciations of
him that followed. These papers that
told what splendid man he was and
how strong the party would be under his
leadership turned against him as soon as
the campaign opened.
The interest of predatory wealth in the
democratic party is only temporary. 1t
is manifested just before the convention
because it would cost less to defeat the
democratic party in the convention than
to defeat it at the polls, and the defeat of
the democratic party is the only thing
which it desires.-The Commoner.

DULLES IN BATTLE.
The Barroom Type of Rowdy When
Put to the Test of War.

The Barroom Type of Rowdy When
Put to the Test of War;.
1.-THE barroom bully is an arrant cow
ard when put to the test of war" With
this saying of the late General Rose
Grams as his topic, a speaker at civic
betterment meeting discoursed on the
ways of the average "bad man" of the
modern cities. He read from writing
If General Rosecrans, Familiarity known
as "Old Rosy" in which that officer de-
scribed regiment of men from Gin
cinnati in the civil war in which there
were many Of the barroom bully class
who had been pressed into the service
or entered as substitutes to earn few
hundred dollars. When these men
came face to face with the grim fight
ers in gray of the Confederacy and
they realized that in warfare the rifle
makes the puny weakling match for
the muscular giant, the DULLES just
turned pale and flunked. They couldn't
stand rifle fire any more than they
would the steely bayonet. Big, brawny
bruisers who had been wont to swag-
ger about town with chips on their
shoulders looking for some weaker YES
sci to tackle found in the fire and
smoke of battle that, while their
frames and muscles were large, their
real courage was mighty small and Of
the cravenly coward sort.
Better take the pale faced, modest
hammered Sunday school lads when
you want real soldiers-men who can
face the bullets or the bayonets of the
enemy-rather than the brawny red

they are outdone in an argument, want
to resort to brute force to settle the
question in dispute" wrote General
Rosecrans, and he should have known.

The democrats of the Legislature in
caucus Monday night unanimously de-
cided upon Ex-Governor John Walter
Smith as the democratic candidate for the
vacancy in the United States Senate
caused by the death of Senator William
Pinkney Whyte. The caucus lasted less
than fifteen minutes and no other name
was mentioned or suggested. Each house
of the Legislature at noon on Tuesday
balloted separately for United States Sen.
ator and at noon on "Wednesday, in joint
session, elected John Walter Smith to
the vacancy. Should the United States
Senate decline to receive the credentials
of the newly elected Senator, on the
ground that his election was not in &C.
cordance with the constitutional pro.
vision, Governor Crothers will then ap.
point Senator elect Smith to the position.
If the Senate still declines to regard this
as the proper method of procedure. no
further steps will be taken, and the
vacancy will untitled. as the Gov
ernor is opposed to an extra session of
the Legislature aud will not call one for
the purpose of the election of a United
States Senator.

The good roads bill has finally passed
the Legislature and Maryland will shortly
embark on the construction of improved
highways id the State on an extensive
scale, embracing, as it does, the expendi-
ture of $4,000, 900 for this laudable pur-
pose.
The bill that has been passed, and needs
but the signature of the Governor to be
come operative; is the Benson bill in
an amended form, several features of the
Biddison bill being incorporated in the
measure, in order to meet, as nearly as
possible, the demands of the advocates OF
the two bills, whose differences threaten
ed to defeat completely all hope of good
road legislation during the present ses-
sion.
The bill was unanimously passed by the
Senate, the only opposition coming from
Senator France and one or two other re-
publican Senators. who expressed the fear
that the law would be used to build up a
political machine

CHANGED THE TYPES.
The Story of a venseful Wife and a
Bible Error.

The Story of vengeful Wife and a
Bible Error.
In the famous library of Wolfenbut-
tel, in Hesse, is an old Bible which is
greatly treasured. 1t appears that in
that passage in Genesis where God
told Eve that Adam shall be her mas
ter and shall rule over her the German
translation is, "Und er soil dein herr
seip-" Herr" which means master,
does not occur in this Bible, but instead
there appears the word "narr," which
means fool.
The error was caused by quarrel
between the printer and his wife in the
year 1880. The wife was vengeful,
and in the silent watches Of the night
she entered the room where her hus-
band had been setting type and mali
ciously changed ''herr'' to "narr." The
printer was arrested after the book
had been printed and the mistake dis
covered, but his apprentice testified
that he saw the wife steal into the
composing room and alter the word.
The woman was imprisoned for bias
phemy and died in prison.
Orders were. given that all the copies
Of the edition should be destroyed.
This was done, with the exception Of
the one copy in the Wolfenbuttel IL
brary.

Long Island Farmers To Form po-
tato Trust.

And now comes the potato trust.
Several hundred representative
farmers from Suffolk county met
at Riverhead, l.. l., on Saturday
and discussed the potato from the
hill to the table, arriving at the
conclusion that they could make
more out of raising that article of
food if they got together and form
ed an association for handling the
entire output.
1t was argued that Long Island
potatoes being in great demand all
over the country there was no
reason why they should not bring
better prices. There is an associa-
ton for controlling caulifiower
prices over on Long Island, and it
is proposed to organize the Potato
Trust along the same lines. 1t was
declared that as the potato growers
had no means of keeping in touch
with the markets, most of the out
put was shipped to New York and
Brooklyn, thereby overcrowding
the market and making prices take
a tumble.
1t is estimated that 5000, 900
bushels of potatoes are raised on
Long Island farms each season
These are shipped to all sections of
the country. There will soon be
another meeting of the farmers to
perfect their organization aud
decide where its central Office
through which all orders must
come and shipments be made, shall
be put.

sort the past week when Representative
F. B. Harrison of New York introduced a
resolution calling for information as to
the authority under which the President
had acted in the government of the
Panama Canal Zone. Now the President
has done good many things at which
members of his party and the opposition
have taken offense, sometimes with reason
and sometimes without. He is not par
ticularly careful about the way he does
anything so he gets it done. But 10 the
matter of the Canal Zone government,
the President has acted we'll within the
discretion given him by Congress and the
things that he has done in his dual

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Official announcement has been made
from the Navy Department that Japan
has invited the battleship squadron to
visit some Japanese port on its voyage
around the world and that the invitation
will be accepted. The invitation was
brought to the State Department by
Ambassador Takahira and was almost
the sole topic of discussion at one of the
Cabinet meetings this week. After con.
siderable debate it was decided to accept
and the announcement was then made.

hospitality extended and received during
the forthcoming visit of the squadron to
Australia. 1t had been announced point
eddy that there would be no festivities,
nothing but a business trip, after the
feet left Manila till it reached home.
This was calculated to take the edge off
the failure to make any call at Japanese
port. But the Japanese government ap-
parently did not want to leave this easy
way out and now the visit will have to be
made. Yokohama probably will be the
port of call. The distance from Manila
there is 800 miles and the voyage will
necessitate recoaling. This will take
several days aud the Inequalities on both
sides probably will occupy ten or twelve
days. This with the heightened voyage

These are not very bright days around
campaign headquarters on either side
In fact it is likely that the coming presi-
Dental election will entail smaller ex
penditure of money than has been the
case for many years past. The Repub-
lican Committee is worse off in this re-
spect than the Democratic. Usually the
Republican party has had about all the
money there was to have. But this year
there is marked disinclination on the
part of the big corporations to contribute.
In fact it is said that many of the, cor
porations think they have been hardly
dealt with and would not be sorry to see
the Republican party defeated. It would
be certainty that Democratic Presi-
dent with Republican Congress would
be able to do practically nothing in the
way of legislation and a Democratic
House with a Republican Senate would
also tie up the administration very
effectually There have been no big con.
tributions on either side of the campaign
fund SO far and it begins to look as though
there would not be. The Democrats are
rather the better off of the two for money.
but it is possible that hint of adverse
tariff legislation might bring some of the
recalcitraut manufacturing interests to
time.

twentyone men. was sentenced to De
hanged on May Is. by Judge Fremont
Woods the latter recommended that

ted of coplicity in the murder Of ex.

slider the Orchard case and it is entire
Iy likely that the recommendation Of
Judge Wood viii be acted upon favor
ably.
People of Boise are divided in opin-
ion ais to whether Orchard was in real.
ity the tool Of the officials OF the West

murder and other crimes at the behest
Of the elmer circle or whether his
confession was wrung from him on a
promise Of immunity as a part of a
gigantic conspiracy to railroad the Off
cials OF the union to the gallows and
thus disrupt the organization. The
prayerful, pious, psalmsinging Orchard
Of today, compared with the ruthless

that no psychological investigation has

question that no one has been able TO
