OF the republican congressional campaign
committee, who has been quite Ill TOT

His socks and his tie matched. his SHIRT

his shoes were the spotless yellow OF the

THE GREAT TEDDY's HEALTH

The cablegram which tells of Mr..
Roosevelt's silent, almost secret, de.
parture from London, may well raise
a question as TO the state of his health.
There has been from time 10 time nota~
tions in the cablegrams that he was
suffering from sore throat, that he was
much worn by travel and excrtion; and
1T may be that his silent departure
from London indicates more serious
trouble than the dispatches had men.

The contrast of this secret departure
from London is so marked as compared
with the blaze of publicity which has nc.
companicd his arrival in aud departure
from other places, that it may well
cause anxiety as to Mr.. Roosevelt Is
condition. We trust that there is moth
ing serious, but when man who sur.
rounds himself with n blaze Of sensa.

TAFT'S UNWISE SNUB.

1t seems to us that President Taft
acted unwisely in snubbing Representa-.
tive Harrison of New York, by refusing
20 receive him. II is true that Mr., Har-
rison criticised the President, and also
the Attorney General, with respect TO
some of the documents in what is known
as the Pinchot Ballinger case. But Mr.,
Harrison, being a Democrat, felt it his
duty. as Representative, to make this
criticism. IL is curious, indeed. if the
liberty Of action and expression by Con.
gressmen should be hampcred by the
frown OF the White House, the dis
pleasure of the President, and the ac.
tual refusal of the chief executive to
see a Representative for doing what he
held TO be his duty in criticising public
affairs.
President Taft has usually been rated
as an adroit diplomat, man fully pre-
pared TO concede the greatest liberty Of
criticism of public affairs. And yet, as
soon as that criticism touches himself
officially he repudiates and snubs the
critic.
it is truo that the Harrison criticism
was of the President, and was harsh
And yet it was in relation TO public af
fairs, and not personal matters. The
President was criticised, not as Mr.
Taft, but as President, and the criticism
attached to public affairs and 10 a
public document. il surely, therefore,
was privileged, and President Taft can
not afford TO maintain the attitude that
he has taken in this case. The Rep
resentatives of the people must have
great latitude in comment on public
affairs and of the doiugs of public men.
1t is their duty to the public to proceed
in good faith throughout, without being
called in question by anyone as TO their
attitude on public affairs or in relation
to public acts, and Mr.. Taft, as Prcsi-
dent, should be the very last to call this
liberty in question

is tho business of the Government to
keep its coins at full value, and the OBJ
legation to do this has generally been
recognized. However, it is recognized
as TO silver only in part. The Govern

sUsPENDs SILVER COINAGE.

1t Will probably be news TO most Of
the people in this region that the Gov
ernment has suspended the minting
of subsidiary silver coins, and is
not likely TO resume. OF course,
1t is known to the general public
that the coinage of dollars is usually in
suspense; but it has been supposed that
the subsidiary coins would continue to
be struck. 1t appears, however, that
there Will be no more of this coinage
for some time to come. A circular from
an Eastern financial house states the
ease rs follows:
For the time being the Treasury has
suspended the coinage OF subsidiary
silver. and banks In the eastern and
middle states which have been I'm the
habit OF furnishing their customers with
new coins are now unable 10 obtain them
except by paying heavy charges on ship
ments from the mints at either New or
leans, Denver or san Francisco. The
supply OF new coins at the PhilldelphIa
Mint was exhausted several weeks ago
There is an abundance OF bullion on hand
from which new coins may be minted. but
the Sub Treasury Offices hold more than
2l,OOo.OOO old pieces Mt for circulation.
IT is desired by Treasury officials thar
this large stock OF available subsidiary
coin be utilized In circulation before re-
suming coinage, When the subsidiary
coins held in Treasury offices fan as low
as 10000. 900, that figure is regarded by
officials as the coming point. Inst year
the stock OF subsidiary silver in the
Treasury fell off to the extent OF sIe 0O0.-
900 during July. August. and September

Is at all as pronounced this summer. re-
sumption Of coinage in the early autumn
may be expected.
