Honesty in Public Service.

0mciai nnouncemen that Governor
Hughes OF New York positively will
not accept a denomination, but has de-
cided to return to private life and his
law practice TO recoup his personal for
tunes, affords a striking reminder OF
the fact that under the American sys-
tenn Of government honesty and fear
lessness In public service are often
their own and sole reward. IL trans
pires that Mr.. Hughes has spent each
year not only his official salary, but
also as much from his private funds
in addition, in maintaining the execu-
tive mansion along lines commensurate
with the dignity of his position. Not
being a wealthy man, he naturally de-
sires to make provision for his family
during the short remaining term when
his earning capacity is at it's height.
Personal necessities. therefore, take
from the public service a mar in whom
the people have such confidence that
without regard to political faith they
desire to see him continue in office.
Such cases as that Of Mr.. Hughes
illuminate the, administration of af-
fairs in this country against the &C
casional charge that public Office is a
private graft. Governor Hughes has
beer in the east what Governor John
son was in the west, a type Of sterling,
though rugged, honesty, whose per-
sonal example in sacrificing some of
the best of his years and energies to
the peoples cause cannot but stimu-
late the faith of the older generations
and the ambition of the younger in
the progress and permanency of the
republican form Of government in this
union of states.

A writer in the New York Evening Post,

and coffee-coolers. who have lately heard
of the war Of sections and are beginning
to get mad enough almost to fight: 1T
strikes my commonplace Imagination that
an effcctual test of the propriety OF a
statue to General Lee at the capitol is to
be found in the question: What would
Grant and Sherman have thought of tip"
and adds, Gould any modern Grand Army
of the Republic commander answer that
frankly and honestly and leave himself
enough ammunition to damage the plan ?'
In 1877, when the H~ayes-Tilden contest
was decided in favor OF Hayes, General
w. t. Sherman was so insistent that Cen
eral Joseph e. Johnston should be secretary
of war in the new cabinet, that Mr.. Hayes
consented. 1t was proposed to the nearest
friends Of General Johnston. who stated
that II the offer were made, General john
ston would decline II. General sherman
expressed himself as greatly disappointed.
Subsequently. Judge Key. a confederate
soldier and an original secessionist, was
made postmaster general.

While the revolution in Uruguay

that Argentina is fostering the insur-

What It's All About.

During the last year of the Roosevelt
administration a terrific cutlery was
raised by the democrats in congress,
assisted by some republicans, over the
alleged lawless usurpation of the pres
ident in the Brownsville affair. Reso-
%lutions galore assailing MIR. Roosevelt
and d%enounoing his action we're intro
duoed and a congressional committee
of inquiry set in motion to ascertain
and report upon the facts. The p1r-
pose of his enemies in forcing congress
sional participation in the Brownsville
rumpus was to discredit President
Roosevelt and to put an obstacle in the
way of his denomination, which they
then feared might be imminent. But
when the president effaced himself as
a presidential possibility Brownsville
very quickly became a dim memory.

purpose Of the democrats is to discredit
the republican president and, If posi-
BILE, to cripple his administration by
loading it down with a democratic
house during the second half of his
term. The democrats are naturally
hot to get something on Mr.. B~allinger
and thus indirectly besmirch the presi-
dent, and in this effort they have. the
conscious OF unconscious assistance Of
a few republicans.
What the democrats would like is to
get an investigating committee on
which they would have, at least, Ii
or two members who could be de-
pended on to bring in a minority report
irrespective of the evidence. Demo
Gratis want to keep this controversy
open for campaign purposes only, and
no matter what the findings may be,
will try to exaggerate them so far as
they are adverse to Secretary Ballinger
and will cry "whltewash" 80 far as
they exonorate him.

of the ground clearly in view while the

ONLY A DREAM.

Wilbur d.. Nesbit in Chicago Post.
That morn passed q nair store where
we're shown
Innumerable masses, coils and puffs,
And braids, and curls, and such-llke things
well known
To be the very latest hirsute bluffs.
And In some hidden recess OF my brain
The quick impression fingered, sim and
deep,
Until that night it brought in eerie train
The dreams that gamboled through my
fevered sleep.
I dreamed the women-roIk were not con-
With wearing artificial hair in pride
Until their necks with WEAKNESS were
bent
By ali the weight that on their heads
1 dreamed that some went to the dummy
And purchased other heads-and wore
Some on their shoulders, some in tiers
Bound on with ribbons and stuck on
with glue. trf 'ft
oh, more Idreamed; ana more 1 dreamed
I-CWhisper this; 1 know 1T could not
be!)-
I dreamed they ransacked every sort of
And purchased all the cork legs they
VINO had more legs than anyone could
need,
And when she walked produced a sudden
stir
AS though she were a mighty centipede.
So then I woke and feared to sleep again,
Not knowing what more awful dreams
might come
And now. at hush of night, I hold my pen
And write my dream with Fingers cold
and numb.
I tell myself tits foolish thus to dread
That some wild gift OF prophecy I've
got
But II they thus enlarge and deck the
head
1 ask as to the rest: 'Ah. well. why
not?"

The Mother Country.

Commercial development of our
country has had much to do with the
~lessening, if not the elimination, of old
hostilities. A generation or two back
every American ~schoolboy studying
history felt It a part of his nature to
voice a violent dislike against Great
Britain, an attitude in which his elders
rather encouraged him. But of late
years 80 general has become The I'M
derstanding of international trade re-
lations that a more liberal national
spirit toward our mother country has
been defined, and without developing
any entangling political alliance we
have cemented relations along interde-
pendent business lines hat have en-
abled US to strengthen our position be-
fore the world.
This is manifested in a timely way
by President Taft in his Interpretation
of his latest tariff order. The United
Kingdom is shown to be by far our
best market, and continuation of such
satisfactory conditions is to be com
mended on both sides of the water,
from selfshly economic motives.
Britain needs our products, and we are
glad of her custom. This commercial
prestige gives us a peculiarly adj
v~antageous leverage in treating with
France, Canada and Germany, but
ever without considering them we
have in the ease of the mother coun-
try a substantial basis for additional
prosperity through the strengthening
of the ties of kinship across the sea.
