Not a Freak.
From the indianapolis Star.


A woman who has spent her long life
in Alexandria. Va. eight miles from
Washington, went 10 the capital the
other day and while there saw Mr. Taft.
the first President upon whom she had
ever laid eyes, though seventeen have
sat in the White House since she was
born. That she could have SO little Gu
riosity concerning celebrities is consid-
cred remarkable by the newspaper CORE
spondent who discovered her but is it SO
strange? good many people have lived
long and happy lives i'm this big country
of ours and have gone to their reward
without having seen even one President
of the United States. If they had lived
within a few miles of the capital they
might have made an effort to catch a
sight of each one as he came or went.
for a President is an object of interest
even in Washington. where he is seen at
close range; but again they might not.
If the correspondent were to go on an in
vestigating tour he would undoubtedly
find a considerable number of men and
women living in Washington who have
never seen President Taft. perhaps not
President Roosevelt or his predecessors.
1t is not that they are not interested in
the man at the head of the government,
but because it takes some exertion to
see him, and because they can see him
at any time they do not make the effort.

off the curb they must stop, look and
listen,' in accordance with the old fun
damental doctrine Of law governing the
responsibility Of individuals when ap-
preaching a potential source Of danger
such as a railroad crossing. 1t should
not be necessary for the motorist to
sound a horn to let anybody know OF
his presence in the neighborhood. or
course occasionally conditions develop
when such warming is required. such
as when a car suddenly comes out from
behind a screen Of other vehicles. an6
which it is overtaking. or at some con-
gested crossings. Yet with everybody
footing at once the value Of the warning
Of each horn is diminished.
Unless some check is put upon the vol
ume or the character OF the sound pro-
duced by the auto horns pandemon!um
will quickly ensue. There is now large
premium awaiting the man who can
invent some new form OF shocker'
screecher, bowler or other arrester OF at
tention. and at the present rate OF prog
ress our streets will soon be a bediam OF
hideous sounds, with pedestrians more
confused and in greater danger than ever
unless they rely strictly upon their eyes
and place no faith whatever in their
ears for their protection.

Children and Poison.
From the Leavenworth Times.

The unguarded custom of leaving bot
ties Of poison in family medicine chests
where there are children in the house
is responsible for the death of little
Leavenworth boy. 1t will be no con-
solaE- - the parents of the boy to
realize this faet, but it is no less true.
Poisons that are used as disinfectants
should be SO kApt that it will be inn
possible for an ADULT. much less child,
to gain access tt them unless for the
purpose for which they were intended.
The caution aAainst children and
matches is of Why small Importance
compared to the caution against leaving
poisons within the reach of child.
1t would perhaps Ne just as well if
poisons were kept out of the household
altogether; most certainly SO unless
with the prescription or advice of a
physician. Physicians realize the danger
of such instances as the one which &C.
CURED yesterday. and therefore seldom
advise the keeping of unadulterated
carbolic acid even for disintectant or
cleaning purposes. Too much care can
not be given to such matters.

And some bitter words of blame,

Gov. Marshall on Roosevelt.

Gov. Marshall of Indiana has made a
good start in Office y new man to af-
fairs. he has taken hold with firm hand
and shown signs of courage and strength.
On the tariff question he speaks the Ian
Suase of directness. The shuff1inG of the
democratic state convention on the sub
ject of protection was not dictated by
him. But he did dictate the conventions
action as to instructing for senator, al
though Mr.. Kern was probably not his
choice. He insisted that the convention
should declare itself. and he carried his
point even against the powerful Taggart
machine
IT is with regret. therefore. that one
reads some nonsense in the form OF an
interview attributed to Gov. Marshall by
Chicago newspaper on the subject of
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft He is made
to say that Mr.. Roosevelts preference
for Mr.. Taft for the presidency was
based upon his knowledge of the latter's
unftness for the office and a feeling
that he would fail in it. The plan was
to put Mr.. Taft in to break the force
of the third-term issue. which in 1908
would have told heavily against Mr.
Roosevelt. Gov. Marshall regards Mr..
Taft as merely chairwarmer for his
former chief, who will try again for the
White House in 1872
This is simply absurd Mr. Roosevelt has
been charged before with Machiavellism
in his dealings with Mr.. Taft. His enc
mics were sure that he was masking a
thfrd-term campaign for 1903 when he eN-
pressed preference for his Secretary of
War as his successor. They declared that
he would carry the pretense right up to
and into the national convention, and
then have his friends stampede that body
to him. We all know how that charge
turned out. Is there anything more SUBJ
stantial this charge that Gov. Marshall
brings?
Mr.. Roosevelt has been likened to this
historical parsonage and to that; to this
fictional parsonage and to that There
are resemblances in him to certain strong
men who have gone before. But there
does not appear to be any trace of
Machiavelli or of "Mephistopheles.' in his
composition. He does no business on
their lines. His success has not proceeded
from the genius of craft, but from that of
impulse. He moves head on. and in a
straight line. and, SO far, things have
given way before him. He has never
Slapped or mined in any case.
Gov. Marshall assumes that Mr.. Taft
has failed, that Mr.. Roosevelt is expect
ing the result. and upon his return will
proceed at once to shape his plans for
another term in the presidency. Hasty
assumptions all. Mr.. Taft has completed
only about fourth of his term, and his
principal opportunities are before him.
And Mr.. Roosevelt, judged by the latest
authoritative accounts. is as much a
friend of his friend as ever. The Hoosier
governor should not count conspirators
before they are Matched and peeping.
