The passing of the comet has
lifted the fears and uneasiness
from the minds of many who
strongly imagined that great
harm would encompass this ter
estial ball and that life would be
endangered. Fortunately such
fears were entertained by few
while the larger part of the peo-
pie pursued the even tenor of
their way, undisturbed, and look
ing fondly for a great phenome
non, a great light that would il
Illuminate the heavens and broad
en- the view of it's path, were
sorely disappointed. During the
hours in which the earth was to
pass through the tail of the
comet, when expectancy was at
its highest point, no one was able
to discern any change from the
ordinary. Of course such a
shortage in it's brilliancy can not
be charged up to the astrono-
mers who gave the world light
as to its coming, its movements
and its probable effects, it was
the result of sudden changes
without notice, aud possibly to
keep from great fright those of
the inhabitants of earth who
feared that a great and terrible
calamity was inevitable. If cal
are correct its return
will never cause fear to any one
who has had sleepless nights
over its passing this time.

WE'D. MAY 25, 1910.

Coincident with the passing of
Halley's comet, to remain beyond
the reach of vision, in the broad
and boundless expanse of the
heaveus for seveney-five years,
the Republican party gives many
assurances of its passing from
power, and no political astrono-
mer can definitely figure it's re-
turn. AS the comets closest
proximity to the earth was fear
ed by many, and as its flight has
given peace of mind, so will the
guying, gouging, gone Republi-
can policies bring hope, cheer
and ease to those who earn bread
by the sweat of the brow. The
many wrangles in Congress, the
divided politicals entiments of the
various sections of the country
are making broad inroads in the
party in power. The closer the
policies Of that party get to the
people, the clearer the light shows
their inequalities, the greater the
apprehension of danger. It found
ID the powerful trust, estab-
ished the system that enables the
classes, the interests, to unjustly
collect millions from the earnings
of the great body of people. There
is no justice in taxing the work
ing people on everything they
use to enable the rich to become
richer and to maintain wild and
reckless extravaganza and pomp
in Washington. The present sit
uation comes largely, from Re-
publican Senators and Congress-
men who assert that a change in
the policy of the party is neces-
sary for the welfare of the peo-
pie. They made, with the Dem
ocrats, an ineffective fight against
the present high tariff law. They
are in open rebellion against the
autocratic power vested in the
Speaker and the war is waged
against Connonism which is GER
tain to win in the next Congress.
The President, seeking the good
will of both sides, must soon un-
cover and openly and boldly es-
pouse the cause of the people or
live up with the stand-patters,
Cannonism and wealth. He can
not reconcile nor much longer
keep himself on neutral ground
in the crisis through which his
party is passing. Not only many
of the able leaders of his party
are out of harmony with party
solidarity, at the expense of
justice, but a large and increas-
ing number of the voters are
against high tax on the things
the people are compelled to buy.
High tariff, protection to infant
industries, the pretence against
trusts will not longer be accept
ed. The next Congress is as GER
tain to be Democratic body as
indisputed conditions can fore
shadow. W. e have passed
through the tail of the comet.
We are emerging from a system
with the hope and belief that a
square deal, an honest opportu-
nifty will be the outcome for all.

THE ROBBERS HAT
SENT 70 GLENWOOD
Especial to The Sentinel. I

Milwaukee, Wis, April 5.-A wide
brimmed felt hat left this afternoon
by United States mail, bound for
Glenwood Springs, Colo, where it is
expected to play an important part
in the trial of men suspected of com
plicity in the holdup of a bank in
that city in October of last year.
While Mr.. and Mrs. John II. Moss
of Milwaukee were on tour of the
West last fall they were in Glenwood
Springs at the time of a bank holdup
Impelled by curiosity they visited
the scene of the fray between the
bandits and the officers.
The hat that is now so much in
demand was found by Mr.. Moss and
he brought it back to Milwaukee as a
souvenir. However, the district at
torney of that place believes that he
can use the hat to advantage in the
trial of the two suspects during the
coming week, and wrote to Mr.. Moss
asking him to forward it, Stamped
on the sweatband of the hat was
Silver Shoe & Clothing Co., $3.50,
Glenwood Springs, Colo.'
The hat is expected to prove the
Identification of the robbers. Mr.
Moss is president of the Merchants
& Manufacturers association.

Wrangle Between American Methodists
and Catholics, and Statement Issued
By Minister, the Cause.
He Will Not Talk Politics
[By Associated Press. |

Rome, Apr. 5.-Mr. Roosevelt was
not in his happiest mood today. His
wish that the vatican audience Incl
dent should be regarded as matter
personal to him had not been respect
ed, and consequently he was intense
ly annoyed,
About the first thing the former
president did today was to call off
mis- reception to the members of the
American colony, which had been set
for tomorrow night. This action can
be traced directly to the issuance yes
terday of statement by Rev. B. NJ.
Triple, pastor of the American Meth
odist Church, in which opportunity
was taken for an attack upon the
Roman church. Mr. Roosevelt does
not propose to be used by anyone to
the disparagement of anyone else.
The appearance of Mr. Triples
statement displeased many American
Catholics, who forthwith manifested
an intention of abandoning their
purpose to attend the reception, If
Gerhuu1stsF or the Organization rep
resented by Mr.. Triple were to be
present.
The matter was carried to Mr..
Roosevelt. who, after hearing both
sides, promptly asked Mr.. Leishman,
the American amba ssador, to cancel
the whole affair. This was done.

himself.
They did not disturb the equanim-
ity of Mr.. Roosevelt or lead him into
making any comment.
1t can be said on excellent author
ity, however, that any report to the
effect that Mr.. Roosevelt proposes to
repudiate his successor to the presi-
dency is "a baseless fabrication"
