CAN A MOOSE GALLoP?
Rev. Or. Long Calls Roosevelt "Naturt
Faker" on This Issue.

Rev. DR.. William j. Long of STAN
ford, Conn, whom former President
Roosevelt orce attacked as a nature
faker," said in Pittsburg the other
day:
"Mr. Roosevelt is neither naturalist
nor sportsman. He lived a few
months on a ranch and shot game
around the cabin. He says he has
seen moose galloping, when every man
who knows anything about the animal
knows that a moose could not posi-
bly, gallop. Its means Of locomotion
make such gait impossible .

Watterson 3 Washington correspondent
is doubtless on the right scent in this
analyses of Senator Aldrich' S attitude
toward the income tax: -
That the enactment of an income
tax measure means the destuclon of the
protective tariff system which the re-
publican party is bound to maintain.
come what may, IS the argument
being put to wavering republican
senators by the republican organiza-
ton, headed by Senator Aldrich of
Rhode Ashland. These men are telling
republican senators from western
states, who with difficulty see their
way out of voting for an income tax.
that once such a measure is placed on
the statute books of tho country and
is declared constitutional by the
judicial branch, then and there the
government will derive revenue
which will make impossible h Ugh
enough tariff to protect the manu-
facturers of the United States.
Right here we get fresh and most
beatlfic vision of the sacredness of the
sacred schedules. The passage of
the Cummins or the Bailey amend
ment would create an appalling sltua.
ton in the heart of tariffdom.

FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
THE MIDDLE HORSE,

A farmer, blowing with three
horses hitched abreast, noticed
that the middle horse became
tired and exhausted long before
either Of it's mates. As the ami
NAL was the equal in every way
Of the other two, he was puzzled
as to the cause Of its not being
able to stand the same amount Of
work. He finally observed, how
ever, that AZ they drew the pIow
along the three horses held their
noses close together, and with
the result that tho middle horse
was compelled to breathe the ex-
pired air from ito fellows. The
farmer then procured a long
Jockey" stick which he fastened
with straps to the bits Of tho out.
side horses. The device worked
perfectly; for, given its rlqhtfuI
share Of good, fresh air, the mid
die horse was able to do the same
amount Of work and with no
greater fatigue than its fellows.
Many persons are like tho mid
die horse; they do not get their
rightful share Of fresh, pure air.
And this 10 why they are not able
to perform az much work nor Of as
good a quality az they would 9TH
erwise be able to do.

B Senator johnson repub1i can, sc
North Dakota, Is strenously opposed
to a contribution for the erection Of q
statue of Alexander Hamilton on the
public square IN Washington, and has
introduced resolution in the senate
repeating the resolution providing for
a memorial
u want that man forgotten a. soon
as possible. - said Senator johnson IN
conversation today, u do not want
an efdgy of Hamilton put up here as a
model for any young man. II some
people want such a statue, let them
buy the ground somewhere on which
to place it.. They propose to put 1t up
near the White House, on a public
square, and will make war on it.
IF it Is put there IN less than one
hundred years that statue will be
dynamited, for the American people
will not tolerate 1T. Alexander Hamil-
ton was one of the most contemplate
rakes we have ever known in this
country. His military service was
not sufficient to warrant the erection
of memorial to HIM, and his leglsla-
tive service was only In representing a
New York city district IN the Ieeisla-
ture OF his state which is not sufficient
for such distinction.
He advocated the election of the
president and the senate by wealthy
people of the country and upon failing
to have his idea adopted. left the
constitutional convention and went
home. As secretary of the treasury he
favored allowing the wealthy people of
the country to control the government.
Il received a. letter from the presi
dent of the Alexander Hamilton
association today asking for a con.
tribution to the $500, 900 fund for the
statue and this resolution was nv
answer to it,

SHELDON EXONERATED o,
BOTCH WORK OF ENROLL
ING DEPART MENT.

Crawford Sheldon, who was chief
enrolling clerk at the late session of
the legislature. is exonerated by the
st. Paul Dispatch OF any blame, IN the
matter of the botched work of the
enrolling department. which it recent
ly SO severely criticised and IN which
it stated that it would probably IN
validate a large number of the laws
passed at the late Legislative session.
The dispatch throws most of the blame
on F. b. Wright OF Minneapolis, VINO
controlled the committee in charge,
and says that warrants for enrolling in
excess of work done, outside of the
botched work, were approved over
Mr.. Sheldon's protest. The many
friends of Mr.. Sheldon will be glad to
hear that he is blameless in this
matter, which IS apt to have such
serious results.
