Mr.. Root Speaks for Himself

Elihu Root believes that it is time 20
call halt on the Capitalization OF
power at Washington. In the address
he has just delivered before the New
York legislature, defining his concep-
ton of the duties of the United States
senatorship to which he has been
elected, he declares with emphasis
that, although he is an adherent of
the views of Alexander Hamilton re-
garding the need for strong federal
government, he is convinced that the
legislative, executive and judicial
branches at the capital have come
about to the limit of their capacity; >
and he asserts that there is danger
that the national government will
break down in its machinery through
the burden which threatens to be cast
upon it,
He points out that this country is
too large, its people are too numerous,
lis interests are too varied, and its
activities too great" to permit of eff.
fective and equitable regulation from
single central source of authority.
All this would have seemed common
place 10 years ago 1t is. in fact
merely the reiteration of what for
merly was considered the fundamental
principle of American institutions

For several winters past my wife

several weeks and caused her many

each year, with no beneficial results.
In November last the cough again put

were entirely competent to manage

ness of the American people. For this
reason and because of the character

uttered them, these words deserve
the notice of the voters of the United

1t is gratifying to know that Jack
Binns, the wireless operator on the
Republic, much praised for his cour-
age and GOODNESS during the disaster
that befell that steamship, refused an
offer of $1,000 a week to go on the
vaudeville stage. In this country q
man has only to become famous or no
torious, in connection with what it
matters little, in order to be in de-
mand from enterprising publishers or
proprietors of playhouses, or lecture
bureaus, that they may bring him be-
fore the public and make an exhibition
of him.
Only the other day even President
Roosevelt was offered $4,000 a week
to head an aggregation of rough riders
to be carried through the country for
the delight of multitudes If man
becomes distinguished even in crime,
if he escapes punishment, there are
plenty of men anxious to secure his
services in order that they may adver-
tise their business and increase their
patronage. Such advertising as this
is certainly dishonorable in its charac-
ter and demoralizing in its effect 1t
is regrsttable that almost any person
who has been connected with some
thing of sensational character can
secure a hearing when real ability and
honest merit are so liable to be ignor-
ed unless they are associated with
what appeals to- the superficial and
sensation-loving mind.

The New Lieutenant Governor of
Missouri.

Gmelich, republican, is lieutenant
governor of Missouri. The joint legis-
lative committee declares that he re-
ceived 346,642 votes as against 346,-
465 for Painter, the democratic nom
inee. The plurality was so small, only
III, that it took long time to deter
mine by a recount the result of the
election. 1t is gratifying to know that
the joint committee was unanimous in
its decision. Not that every member
was certain that the republican candi-
date received the largest vote, but
there was showing in his favor, and
in order to avoid any further trouble
the democrats were quite willing to
join with the republicans in making
.Gmelich lieutenant governor
The business of the legislature has
been delayed by this controversy, to
the injury of the regular business, and
the people of Missouri will be glad that
the question is finally settled.

One Overlooked.

Before the march of science
And in its gentle sway
How superstitions crumble
And quickly fade away,
We lose the thirteen hoodoo
And briSkly call a halt
On that old fogy notion
Concerning splitting salt.
To walk beneath a ladder
No longer do we fear.
We telephone the plumber
When ticking sounds we hear.
If over our left shoulder
The youthful moon we spy
We do not fear the chickens
Or closer friends will die.
If it is more convenient
Or somehow cuts expense
We start trip on Friday
Nor fear the consequence.
We do not trail the rabbit
Alone to his retreat
And snatch a lucky pedal.
We let him keep his feet.
And other superstitions
Are doomed to disappear
Before the light of reason.
l hope the day is near
When that grandaddy notion
We hear SO much about.
That winter time is healthy,
Will also peter out.
