LETHARGY AND OTHER THINGS

The funny man of the morning
moonbeam broke into the front page
this morning, crowding out good tele-
graph news to "holler" because it was
news" 81 days after it happened, and
in order to cover up its own short
comings it intimates that the story
of the sentence OF Charles Lafferty,
the bold, bad man from Prescott, which
appeared in Yesterdays Evening
Statesman. was stale, leaving the in
ference that it had been printed in the
columns of the moonbeam some days
before.
Maybe the funny man thought that
his journal had given the public the
facts in the Lafferty case, and maybe
il has. but a careful search of the
files in this office leads us to the as
sumption that the story was sup
pressed by our next door neighbor.
OF course, it is not for this newspaper
to say why the story was smothered,
ii it was smothered. Maybe it was be
cause the hand that yields the blue
pencil next door, in the light of an
angry mans assault on the plate glass
front of this office, became more active
in the interests of the landlord than it
was in the interests of those who buy
a newspaper to get the news; maybe,
the thought was uppermost next door
that the publication of the story of the
conviction and sentence of Lafferty
might affect the fortunes of the repub-
lcan party or some of its high priests
or maybe some unfortunate telephoned
from the dark recesses of the Haviland
or The Davis with the dire threat that
if the story was run he wouldn't sub
scribe to the paper and would thereby
wreck the great bungalow contest
These are merely random gueses based
on what has long been an open
secret in newspaper circles-that the
next door neighbor was the original
easy mark when the great or the near
great or the small or the near small
want news item suppressed.
But after all. it does not really mat
ter whether the moonbeam printed
the story or not. If it did print the
story it was merely because nobody
asked that it be left out, and even
then, coupling the two items together
the one the moonbeam printed and the
one this paper printed-a margin OF
"A days still remains to the credit OF
this newspaper.
And while the subject is under dis
cussion, it might not be amiss to re-
mark that in this sanctum sanctorium
a comparison of the local newspapers
is always welcomed. Being largely hui.
man, We can understand the difficulty
in getting the news when it is the
policy of many locally prominent men
to avoid the publicity ray. but despite
the fact that it endeavors to print al
the news and believes that it is sue
ceeding in this endeavor better than
either of its contemporaries, there arr
some things which this newspaper is
glad it has never said.
For instance. it has never remarked

LINCOLN AND ROOSEVELT.

LINCOLN AND ROOSEVELT.
AS the time for the presidents re-
tirement from the White House ap-
proaches, the republican papers begin
to caiticise Mr.. Roosevelt quite freely
The Kansas City Journal, which was
very enthusiastic supporter of Mr.
! Taft published the following editorial
criticism of the president:
Upon one occasion Mr.. Lincoln
walking down the street in Springfield
observed a little girl sitting on a door
step weeping bitterly. He stopped and
inquired what the trouble was. 1t
seemed that the little girl had been go
ing on a ssort railroad journey to visit
her grandmother. Her trunk was
packed and she was all ready, but the
express wagon had not come The
train was almost due; it was too late
to get an express wagon, and
SO the journey must be given
up Never mind,' said Mr..
Lincoln, Il cans-handle that trunk all
right Come on, we can make it." The
trunk went up on Congressman Lin
coins back and the two arrived at the
station out of breath, but in time for
the little girl to catch the train
From Anecdotes of Lincoln"
The Chicago Tribune contains the
following telegram:
Carleton B. Hazard, a wealthy Virgin
ian. who lives on a thirty acre tract
near Rock Creek park, where his young
daughter takes daily rides has sent
the following letter to the president:
Theodore Roosevelt.-Dear Sir:
Ny little daughter Martha, fourteen
years old, came home about two weeks
ago from horseback ride crying, and
stated that she had been accosted by
you while riding in Rock Creek park
She informs me that she Unexpectedly
came upon your party and guard, and,
not wishing to pass you, she simply
rode slowly back of you until she
should come to the road that would
lead her toward home, whereupon you
turned on her and asked her if she did
not think she had followed you long
enough, and ordered her to take side
road which would have led her away
from home. She refused to do this, and
promptly told you she would take the
other road, which led toward her home,
and did so. Did you expect my little
daughter to dismount upon meeting
YOU? l can not comprehend how a
gentleman could accost young girls
unprotected on a public road with fits
of anger AS for my little girl, she
she should be so unfortunate as to
meet you again l feel confident that
this communication from me will be
sufficient to assure her safety hereaf
ter. e.A
CARLETON B. HAZARD !"
In forwarding this letter Mr.. Hazard
addressed it to Mr. Roosevelt as an in
dividual and not as president of the
United States-though we don't see
what difference it makes how he adj
dressed it, All individuals are not
presidents, though all presidents have
the misfortune to be individuals. Mr..
Hazard and his daughter will, Of
course have the sympathy of all who
learn of the occurrence, though he is
not wholly free from blame. He should
have known (and by this time does)
that any young lady riding unattended
in or near Washington is liable at any
moment to meet people who are drunk
or Otherwise not in their right minds,
or who are suffering from bigheaditis,
or who are DULLES or generally ILL
manr1ered.

Judge Mcpherson held that both the

The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that
is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con-
stitutional disease, requires a constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The pro-

tive powers that they offer One Hun

Nervous
Prostitution

Il suffered so with Nervous
Prostitution that | thought there
was no use trying to get well. A
friend recommended DR.. Miles
Nervine, and although skeptical
at first, / soon found myself re-
covering, and am to-day well.
MRS. d. I. JONES,
$500 Broadway, Cleveland, o.
Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore :-ou can hardly miss
it If YOU take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.
