A president of the United States was
elected last Monday, but the important
event received very little attention from
the newspapers, many of them merely
mentioning it in small and obscure para
graphs. The votes have not yet been
counted, but it is understood by those
in best position to know that William 81.
Taft was elected president, and James
S. Sherman vice-president. By the way,
that is the first time that Mr.. Taft was
ever elected to any public office.

An article now going the rounds of
the papers quotes from "the record" to
show that the earth is becoming warmer
rather than colder, and tells some re-
markable tales regarding what has been.
For instance, one winter the ice on the
Thames in England was sixty-one inches
thick! And twenty years later the ice on
support coaches which were driven over
1t, And in January, 1877, the ground was
frozen to depth of four feet in New
England, 1t is well that most of the
stories contained in this hodge-p odge
are located so far back in the dark ages
that it would be difficult to disprove

Cardenio F. King of Boston, the me-
teoric manipulation of stocks in the mar
ket, for larceny, embezzlement, ETC.,
gets a sentence of ten TO fourteen years.
Ruef, the San Francisco CRATER" has
already got the maximum sentence OF
fourteen years for bribery. Probably
San Francisco is so far away that we
shall not have, in this part of the coun-
try, remonstrances circulated for sigma
ture or mass meetings called, protesting
that he was innocent of any wrong In
tent, and that the sentence is severe and
disproportionate. King is near enough
so that it might be possible. We
haven't yet learned to accept these big
sentences for smart men, and they jar
on our nerves. But then Kings offence
was not committed by the methods OF
high finance, but was just plain or
binary steal and swindle on a compare
lively small scale, so he isn't really en-
titled to sympathy.
