a country school where he was taught for three

that work well. Their innate ability is
only partly responsible for their sue

coin deserves praise because necessity
spurred him on TO greatness. Washing
ton deserves as much credit because he
became great without being driven on

double role of Washington-she made
him a soldier and a statesman. and he
performed both well. His trials as
president were almost as great as those

of the army. He was placed at the head

place, with deep sloping roof and a

HOW IT CAME ABOUT.

To bring this whole matter before
the public eye at once let it be noted
that Senator Tillman some time ago
urged that certain land grants in
Oregon had been forfeited by lack of
compliance with terms of the grant
and urge that they be sold. Before
looking into the matter he concluded
to make an investment himself. When
certain Investigations were being
made by the secret service men this
was discovered. III the late troubles
sbetween the President and Congress-
Seedt theesecfs N,, -
tioHs which the President wanted re-:
stored to former sufficiency and the
charges by Congress that the secret
service department was becoming Of
fensively active, the President used
strong language which Congress
looked upon as reflections on that
body and demanded of the President
instances to justify his language.
While disavowing any intention of
discourtesy he complied so far as to
give names that furnished the basis
Of his language. Thus the cast of
Senator Tillman became part Of
the justification Of the President.
It seems that the Senator's case
was stumbled upon while making cer
tain other Investigations. It is also
stated that certain parties who were
offended with Senator Tillman's
urging the sale Of this Oregon land
resorted to this method Of revenge to
put the President in possession Of the
facts Of Senator Tillman S purpose TO
acquire some Of this land.
To add to the complication Post
master Barns has sent Senator Till
man bill Of $1,000 for postage for
typewriter that the Senator had
franked from Trenton, S. c., to Wash
ington, it being claimed that he had
no right to send it under the frank
ing privilege. The Senator refuses
to pay the bill on the ground that it
is the government s typewriter, that
he was using in the interest Of the
public and that it was the custom so
to do, he having never heard of any
rule promulgated against it.
Had it been his own private affair
he would have expressed or freighted
| it. Senator Tillman has been .accredit-
ed with rigid honesty as is President
Roosevelt, the former fiery to the term
Of Hpitchfork'' and the latter impul-
sive to an unusual degree. Witha]
he public will rost probably pass nc
Judgment until further developments
