There is a certain member of the Du,
quesne club who heartily detests to be
approached by stranger. Recently he
had occasion to take a Center avenue
car and found a seat in close proximity
to one of those lanky. sad-faced men
who seeul to be unable to resist talking
to their fellow passengers. The club
member had opened his paper and was
making himself as comfortable as posi-
bic in the cold car when his neighbOr
opened up.
Say" queried the lanky one, will
you allow your son to smoke stOgies
when he grows up?"
Really, never have given the ques-
tiOn a moments thought" was the reply.
The other just gasped.
And" he continued in faint voice,
"Will you allow him to drink liquOr?"
Once more the club member announced
that he had not thought of the question.
Terrible, terrible" gasped the lanky
individual, ''tO think that such persons
as you are allowed to eXistp'
Then the club member became real
wrathy.
"LOOk here, my kind friend,' he an
nOunced. "NO doubt y u mean we'll, but

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 1909
AMERICANS SHOULD RE
MEMBER.

February % has been set as the
day for a vote in the United States
senate upon the bill to appoint
court of inquiry which shall deter
mine the guilt or innocence of the ne
gro soldiers of the Infamous Twen-
ty-ffth Infantry battalion which out
ragged the town of Brownsville at
midnight on Aug. 10. 1906. Let no
American forget for a moment that,if
this bill becomes a law, it will put
back into the army men who have
been guilty of the most heinous out
rage that ever biackened the annals
of the American army. Presumably,
all of those negroes are innocent, for
SO the law holds any man no matter
how guilt-stained, until he is proven
guilty in a court of justice That
nearly the entire battalion is GULL
TY, if not of being actually implicat-
ed in that awful crime, then of com
plicity in conspiring to shield the
murderers, everyone who has inves-
tigated the matter at all is morally
convinced. Yet both civil and mill
tary tribunals have been unable to
find evidence to convict the criminals.
That the proposed court of inquiry
would be equally incapable of proving
the guilt of even one of them is a
foregone conclusion. Not being prov
en- guilty, these fiends must then be
held innocent by the court. and, with
their hands still red with the blood
of young Frank Natus, and their
hearts still black with the foul at
tempt to massacre helpless women
and children, they will be again clad
in the uniform they have disgraced
and given the keeping of the flag they
have Decorated 1t seems ineredita-
bic that any self-respecting American
with a spark of patriotism in his soul,
can contemplate with any degree of
calmness whatever an attempt to fos-
ter such infamy upon the army as
this bill proposes. 1T seems prepos-
ferrous. indeed, for that exalted body
of lawmakers, the United States SEN
ate. to propose such a reversal of the
usual order of the administration of
justice. which places the burden of
the proof upon the accuser, and to
require the accused, without an iota
of actual, tangible evidence against
them. to prove themselves innocent.

My little girl Of FIVE years Of age had

possibility that it may even be

THE TRIALS OF THE
PUBLIC MAN

One would suppose that our pub
lie man would tire of the inevitably
round OF banquets in which they are
participated nightly Their stomachs
must be copper-fastened to stand the
nightly consumption of rich food,
and their diet of speeches on all va
rieties of subjects. But perhaps they
do not eat so much. as the photo
graphs invariably represent every
face turned toward the camera which
is to reproduce the dressy full-dress
show. Wherever there is gathering
of people nowadays or now-a-
nights. there is camera amongst
them, and respectable people seem to
be SO glad to have their pictures taken
that they even turn their faces at
funeral, leaving the deceased to lin
ger. like Hahomet's coffin, between
heaven and earth, until the photog-
rapher has caught them. We have
MT seen a banquet scene in a month
at which a single back was turned to-
ward the camera.

BIG TRACTION FIGHT
BEGINS IN NEW YORK

New York.-New York city has
struck another big fight-the fight
of the subways. The Hudson Co.
which built the tunnels under the
Hudson river, seems to have plenty
of cash. Notwithstanding Cornelius
Vanderbilt has dropped out Of It's
hoard of directors. With this pletho-
"a of capital in hand, it has asked the
CITY authorities to allow it to extend
it's tunnel under the city to the Grahd
Central station, to enable the swarm
of passengers, who will come TO the
citv from Jersey City and beyond, by
the speedy means afforded by the
tunnels to continue their journey
without break to the New York Cen
tral and New Haven roads. AS there
has been a continual outcry for addi-
tional subway accommodations Tor
which the city has not so far been aDle
to furnish the funds by the most cum
ninglv devised manipulation OF the
debt limit. it would seem that TINS
offer by the Hudson company would
he hailed without an opposing voice
as a godsend.
But the offer is no sooner mace
than Mr.. Parsons, the consulting en-
gineer. resigns from the Hudson com
many and Mr.. Shonts Of the Inter
borough. expresses a desire to build
$4,000, 900 Of subways. Now the IN
terborough company has not very
good name in New York, and the grea'
majority Of the people would rather
have the Hudson company have the
lob. The shonts proposition bears
too much Of the semblance OF a "doe
IN the manger" attack on legitimate
and praiseworthy enterprise.
