The shootins of Ferrer.

The refusal of the king of Spain to spare the life of Prof. Francisco Fer Ter, the convicted anarchist, is the most courageous act of the reign of this young man. For no doubt it was through fear of the consequences to himself that many influential persons begged Alfonso not to let justice take it's course. He is known to be a fla talist They will get me some time, is the way he has been quoted as put ting it. But he does not propose to be hampered by that consideration. Hence his delight in evading the guards who find it difficult to keep an eye on him.
 Ferrer was a man of distinction and learning. He took his chance, with the result that he had to face plat oon of infantry the other morning. He must have realized that he was but paying a penalty for which he had bargained. He had openly melted the instruction at Barcelona. Such dis turbances are not to be put down with rose water. Under the circumstances the appeal to the kings generosity and chivalry was absurd. The injury had been done to the state, not to him, as its head. But, as it's head, 1t was his duty to keep his hands off.-New York Evening Sun.

NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose From Grief.

What a fortunate provision of nature 1t is, that deprives the rose of mental suffering; for how poignant would be it's grief to discover in the height of it's blooming glory, that a canker fed at its heart, and that its beauty and fragrance were doomed forever. Nature always spares the suffering; she is a veritable store-house of pleasing rewards, for those who seek her aid. In the years gone by falling hair and grayness have cast a gloom over the lives of thousands of young women. but thanks to the in vestigations of scientists the true cause of hair destruction is now known to be a germ or parasite that burrows into the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide absolutely destroys this germ. thus permitting the hair to grow as na- ture intended. Sold by leading drug gists. Send 10c. in stamps for sample to The Herpicide Co., Detroit.

It is more amusing than serious that two prominent men, both dis tinguished graduates of Yale. Presi- dent Taft and Otto T.

The Genius of Caesar.

Caesar was a genius-a man whose powers have seldom or never been equaled in history. His indifference, even at moments of the greatest strain, to anything of the nature of sentiment or mysticism, would have made him, at any time in the worlds history, one of the giants of his age. Under twentieth century conditions he might have become a captain of in- dustry in the United States or a great pioneer or mine owner or empire builder in South Africa, or a scientist or man of letters in Europe, with a world influence over his contem- poraries. In the Rome of his day both family tradition and personal inclina- ton forced him into politics.-Profes- sor Ferrero in Greatness and Decline of Rome"

HIGHER SALARY FOR
PRESIDENT IS FAVORED
Movement Has Strong Champion i'm
Senator Bourne and Lawmakers
Feel Kindly Toward 1t.
'RoBLEM TO FACE THE NATION.
If Pay Is Not Increased Only Al
tentative May Be Pensioning
Ex-Presidents.

Senators and representatives in the
main are said to feel kindly toward the
proposition to pay the next President
100000. twice as much as the present
incumbent of the presidential office Is
getting and four times as much as
most of the incumbcnts of the past re-
ceived.
Congress increased the salaries Of its
members. of the Cabinet officers and OF
one or two other officials recently. For
years the members wished to add $500
year to their pay. but they did not
dare do because they feared that people
would object. They made peculiar
error in their calculations. for there
was hardly a word Of reproachful COM
ment when the increased pay bill went
through House and Senate. Mr. ROOse-
Welt is in favor of legislation that will
give future Presidents a salary repre-
scented by six figures.
1t may be accepted as one of the GER
tainties that the pay of the President
will be raised within the next few
years, and it is not impossible that the
increase will be authorized this winter.
No President wishes to be in the posi-
ton of signing bill which would add
to his yearly income at the expense of
the treasury. and so it is that if Mr..
Taft is to get 100000 for each year of
service it probably will he voted to him
before Mr. Roosevelt retires.
Grover Cleveland made IA plea for
proper provision for the eXPresdents.
Mr.. Cleveland's word had its effect.
Other things have had their effect also,
and not least of these, though not gen
orally known as having had such strong
influence. is the fact that not many
months ago a daughter of a former
President died in Il charitable institu-
ton in Washington.
No senator or representative who is
in favor Of increasing the presidential
salary denies that $4,000 year is
much money. 1t probably seems large
sum to the country. but the man who
gets $4,000 and is compelled by cir
cumstances to spend it is no better off
at the end Of the year than the man
who makes $500 and is forced to spend
it, 4 man believed to be familiar with
Mr. Ro0Sevelt's financial condition said
of his salary while he had been in the
White House. and that he did not go
out of his way to do it.
