CURRENT COMMENT.

The indianapolis News undD says
"People who have been interested
enough In Senator Bailey TO keep
watch of his attitude during the
tariff debate and TO wonder over some
OF the positions he has taken are
more puzzled than ever, over his ac-
ton OF yesterday. To state the mat
ter simply. he abandoned his own
income tax measure and went over to
the Aldrich.Hale-Lodge combination
and not only did ne cast his vote with
them for the corporation tax. hut he
persuaded many Democratic Senators
to do likewise. Rejecting about th,
matter does not make Bailey's attn
tude any clearer.

This Is the time OF the year when

find makers and believers. We have.
for instance. people who 90 about pre-

nothing but weeds and boil weevil

ing about l5-cent cotton. Moreover,
the silly season is usually signaliZed
by those revolving commissions Of
crime whose accounts are being pa.
FEded day by day in horrible detail
through the columns of the press be-
fore the eyes OF a wearied yet NOR.
bidly curious public.
There is something in the mid-sum-
mer's heat and strain which appar.
emily steals away people balance.
Where the environment is such as TO
impair their powers by pressure Of
occupation, by worry. and by ad-
verse natural conditions OF tempera-
ture, Il Is not 10 be wondered that
there are breakdowns in the capacity
Of people to bear their burdens. II
has been statistically ascertained that
the hot summer months record the
maximum of each years crime. Sui.
cides are more numerous and various
other manifestations Of human weak.
ness seem to come to a climax.
The cause Of this may be viewed
differently. But there Is much in the
position that the extreme publicity
given to these abnormal manifesto
tions acts much as a wave Of sugges-
ton upon the thoughts and feelings
OF the population as a whole.

IL is now more than tbirty-nine
years, says The Wall Street Journal,
since the last amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States was
proclaimed on March 30. 1870. That
Was the negro citizen amendment,
making the fifteenth modification the
people Of the United States have seen
ffr 10 add to the original constitution.
Among these fifteen amendments only
one Of them relates In any way 20 finan-
cial matters. That Is the part Of the
XIvth amendment defining the valid
ity of the public debt OF the United
States. II formed one Of the issues
arising out of the question OF slavery.
Practically all OF these fifteen arti-
cles OF amendment are occupied with
the definition Of the rights of the citi-
gems and the States against the pow
er Of Congress. This OF course does
not apply to article XII In which the
Presidential elections are regulated.

Cook and His Guides.

The experiences of DIR. Cook, cor
nered by Barrill and Printz in the
wilds of the Montana lecture platform,
prove the perils of pole hunting to
have been as nothing compared to the
dangers Of head hunting on the head
hunters home preserves. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY one thing to saunter off into the
kings dining room at Copenhagen
with a thrilling and agreeable story
Of achievement or to acquire the free
dom of the city from New York alder
men who are accustomed to giving the
glad hand to men who do not trespass
upon the division of local spoiTs, and
quite another thing to 60 looking for
trouble among determined men who
are loaded for bear.
DR.. Cooks discontinue at Hamil-
ton will doubtless be said by his par
tisans to have been accomplished by
an audience in the nature OF a packed
primary. Yet the account of the ses-
sion reads as though the explorer
failed to convince the Hamilton people
after they had listened patiently to
him. The audience apparently stuck
for facts. and after rejecting as too
rude for their guest the drastic reso-
luton first offered, avowing their dis
belief in all his claims, let him down
more adroitly with a declaration Of
their faith in his accusers.
The American people are quick to
seize a point, and it will be strange If
they do not generally view the Mon
tana incident as a setback for DR..
Cook. Instead of mounting the hust-
ings at Hamilton he might better have
been organizing a competent Mount
Mckinley party to demonstrate that
his records are really there. DR..
Cooks persistent promises without
performance have a tendency to alien
ate many who were at first his Jealous
friends.

Fall Fairy Tales.

The good people Of Omaha would in
deed feel neglected If they should miss
out on the annual crop of fall fairy
tales always projected just before cleo
ton by the democratic fake factory.
So they must feel happy that, despite
the quietness of the campaign, the fall
fairy tale crop is not to fail, but again
appears in the old familiar form.
A few years ago readers of the
World-Herald used to be RECALLED regu-
larly about this season with announce
ments that Mark Hanna had just con-
signed a carload of greenbacks for free
distribution in Omaha, with the sug-
gestion that every voter should present
share.
When this yarn proved a trife
lthreadbRre the republican strong box
was replenished by the democratic or
gan by a shake-down of the brewers
and liquor dealers. and anyone else
that looked like good money. Some
times the exact amount was stated
which was always news to those sup
posed to have paid 1t, and when the
democrats we're showed under it was,
OF course, easy to say that Doodle
did IT.
This time the World-Herald informs
its readers that the republican organi-
cation has an abundant supply of pub
lie service corporation and railroad
money with which to hire workers and
pay gangs of clacquers." This would
