 That was a very conservative ana utterance for which he deserves great credit. To man Of his temperament and, ability the temptation to use vio. lent and vituperative language in fiery invective of the President must have been very great and we admire his eIoouent self-restraint in confining his remarks to a Aignifed statement of his defense. He wisely deferred any extended attack on the President to some other time.

Speaking of Roosevelt and the stench he has raised. The Lancaster tPa.) Inteligencer makes some re- marks as follows:

S9l S9l fellows when his own interests de- faand it. He is thoroughly selfish with an eye single to himself, and a dfsposfton to self-service which no imagination can estimate too highly.
 If such severe criticism of Roose- welt had appeared in Southern Dem oeratic newspaper it would have been regarded as an exhibition of section alism, but as 1t is from a Pennsylva- mia contemporary we suppose 1t may be looked on as indicative of the feel ing of unprejudiced people up there.

In some respects no doubt he is correct but the government reports as to amount of cotton ginned are very nearly the same as those of the Ma ttonal Ginners Association and the latter organization is essentially a farmers institution.

calamitlss of Peaos.

 Peace hath it's calamities no less renown- ed than war. Men, women and children die yearly--fn greater numbers than earth qualkes. fire and flood and war overwhe elm from no other reason than that they have not had a fair show from mankind. And many live under conditions of suffering and depression-which Is possibly worse than the dying. One-third of all the babies born in America die out of it within five years of their birth. and at least half of these deaths are due to purely preventable causes. The persons who die of typhoid, railway wrecks and crude machinery-to pick here and there--constitute the skele- tons In the closet of civilization.
 Providence" ia perpetuaily charged with responsibilities for which mankind must abide the reckoning. For the peace of its soul and its material happiness as well, 1t should have moral courage enough and optimism enough to take Q clear and steady view of It's own responsibilities. When 1t differentiates honestly between Providence" and Itself mankind in society will substi- ute good cheer for . vast amount of what Is tragic now.

PROne to Accept Worthless Testimony. New York Evening Post.
 One trouble with the President, in all this matter of charges against Con gressmen and others. is that he &C., cepts the report of an inspector or se- cret service agent as absolute truth |. The possibility that a detective may be deceived never enters the Presi- dential mind. All men are liars ex- cept the secret service Senator Till- man showed how Mir. Roosevelt had been imisled by the postofhce inspec- tors. In the House, last Friday. Rep resentatitve Smith of Iowa, demon : starated amusingly how the President had been let in by secret service agents Taking their word for it, he had stated to Congress certain facts which the least Inquiry showed to be no facts at all The agents had blum, dered They had mixed up names and places, set down rumor for truth. and drawn upon their imaginatiOns to take the place of industry.

whst Becomes of Art Students

What Becomes Of Art st~oents The Craftsman.
 [ Twenty years ago there were art sch hools in this country, numerous art
 schools, numerous students ins each school. There were also the great schools of Paris. Julian's twenty years ago was at It's height. Every country had its art schools. Every big city, every little city, and all of them study ing under the regime of Paris. There were thousands and thousands of peo- pie being trained in these art schools. Now where are the artists? We VIII admit killing off through death or noncontinuance, but then what of that great number who must have continu- ed and worked years and years? Nine years after I left Julian's went back there and saw one who was strong man in the school when I was a stu- dent-and I found him doing about as good work as he had done nine years before. What has become of all these people that have gone through that training?

Mobile sfaa's Inveation.

Mobile Register.
 In view of ,the fact that a Mobile man has made of concrete boat that will float, 1t IS interesting to learn that Daniel B. Banks. engineer of the Bal timorc waterworks. eleven years ago constructed concrete two-masted yacht eighteen feet beam, sixty live feet long, and drawing fourteen feet, which still forms oue q the fleet of the Baltimore Yacht Club. The yacht Is said to be easy riding because of her weight. She makes only moderate time in light winds but is fast in a breeze, and rides a sea well. Six years ago the craft was drlven on the rocks outside of Cape Charles, and escaped without injury. In an interview pub- lished in The New York Tribune, Mfr. Banks says that he built the boat not as an experiment. but because he knew that concrete structure would be just as buoyant as steel structure and he reasoned that if steel boat would hoat and make headway there was no good reason why a stone boat should not doe the same thing.
