They seemed stunned for an instant

She bore n mind that envy could not but call fair. Twelfth Night
Colonel ROOssVelt's New Haven Speech

Before the New Haven chamber of com rnerca tomorrow Colonel Roosevelt will make his first public utterance on po- rtical matters. He will explain the land slide-the breaking of the limb that he had sat on with all confidence. At that time he will have kept still 36 days and surely silence on his part cannot long be expected. The political upheaval and the causes thereof need all possible ex- planation and discussion.
 While the colonel is explaining the po- litical situation he should tell us what he thinks of third-termlsm, or rather what he thinks the people thought about it when they went to the polls last month. A commendable frankness will help the colonel when he speaks at North Haven Five years ago he told the country what he thought of the Diaz scheme of sue cession, and if he has changed his mind as to that matter he should tell the people all about it.
 But this he will not do, and the most that can reasonably be expected from him will relate to a theory of what hit him and why it hit him. Colonel Roose- welt got In position to be hit, and the hit came right along. If he can correctly diagnose as 1t were that hit his New Haven speech will not lack interest or value when placed before the vast Amer lean reading public.

ADportIOnmeut Worries Republicans

The standpatters led by MT. Cannon are said to be considering the postpone ment of an apportionment bill until the next Congress, in the hope that the gerry mandering schemes of their party in sev- eral pivotal northern states would not be undone. All of the northern states are today gerrymandered to make repub- lican votes go as far as possible in elect gerrymandered about 20 years-afl have been in that condition 10 years. How to continue the gerrymander, which is shameless in some states, is the problem MT. Cannon Is considering.
 It is conceded that a fair apportion Tnent in New York, New Jersey and Ohio would work disaster to the hopes of republicans so far as the control of the House of Representatives is con- eerned, but if there must be gerryman- ders why should Mir. Cannon and his friends monopolize them? Why not make 1t a game that both sides can play at?
 Fortunately the present movement against standpatters has come to stay It will stay until 1912 at any rate, and the Cannonites may as well take their medicine cheerfully and pass at the pres ent session an apportionment bill. The Crumpacker-K Keller scheme of reducing southern representation has gone a-glim- mering, and there is nothing left to do but to apply the arithmetic to Director Durand's census figures. These figures will be full and complete next Saturday 1t is said.

WINTER SHOES FOR HORSES

From the New Yor-s Globe.
 As soon as the. cold weather and the snow and ice come the abominablo character of our pavements, from an equine point of view, becomes painfully obvious. The first little furry of snow filled the streets with fallen horses. Those that managed to keep on their feet presented pitiful spec- tacles, sliding and sprawling along, al most helpless, and quite unable to pull any sort of load.
 The steady growth of the motor car in popular favor makes 1t extremely unlikely that any change of road sur face will be made for the benefit of the horse The only practical solution of the problem, therefore. Is some bet ter me.nod of snoeing or the use of antiskid devices. Fortunately several varieties of the latter are now availa- ble.
 They are relatively inexpensive. fair llv effective, and the most ordinary humanity requires their use during such weather as the present. A public spirited lady in Pittsburg began the supply free of this type of shoe last winter, and similar charity was, we believe, carried on later in the season ir this city. The work should be takef out of the ellemosynary class and the antiskid shoe made a routine part ol
 the horses winter harness.

A Democrat for the Supreme Bench

Justices Lurton and White are the only out of nine when all seats are filled. Two out of nine is not fair proportion, and the President is said to be looking for cancies. This would be highly commend able in the President, who certainly ap- preciates the importance of maintaining the impartial and non-political character of the highest court In the land.
 Both parties should be well represent ed in this court. Three democrats out of nine has been the rule ever since the ascendency of the republicans became pronounced, and certainly that rule should not be reduced. When the democrats rule the country they should keep as many as three republicans on the bench.
 The President. in deciding to promote Justice White to the chief justiceship, is doing what will be regarded as gracious an act as it will be unpre- cedented-the appointment to the high est position of a man belonging to the party opposite the administration. Still he should not make that promo tion offset the propriety or sense of fairness of having three democrats on the supreme bench.
 The President can readily find an able, scholarly, judicial-minded democrat to fill a vacancy, and the Washington corre- spondent of the Chicago Record-Herald says he is looking for a lawyer who is also a democrat. As Justices White and Lurton are both southern men, it is as- sumed that the third democrat will be selected from state north of the Ohio.

 The Postmaster General does not pro- pose to admit 11-pound packages at once to the mails, but as a starter he pro- poses to let the people of town from which rural free delivery carriers start mail packages to be carried by those carriers up to an 11-pound limit.
 This is good beginning of a parcel posts system. and as such 1t will be fought by the express companies, but it can no doubt be put through, and the public will accept 1t as the beginning of a great public convenience.

TuscaIoosn's Daily

Leon C. Bradley, the young Birming- ham newspaper man, who with Sam F.. Clabaugh, also a Birmingham boy. es- tablished the newspaper in Tuscaloosa known as the Times, was in Birmingham Saturday and yesterday.
 "The new paper is thriving with the town" said MT. Bradley. Tuscaloosa is enjoying a period of great growth and business men visiting the place are loud in praise.
 MT. Clabaugh and myself began the publication of the Times in August, and the circulation and influence of the paper have been rapidly on the increase. As an up-to-date afternoon sheet the Times has been very favorably received by the peo- pie of Tuscaloosa, especially by the pro gressives, who look forward to greater things for the town.
 .During the short term of existence the paper has already been a great influence for progress. A campaign started by the Times in August resulted in the paving of all the principal streets of Tuscaloosa, and the paper has also been influential in the building of two new depots by the Alabama Great Southern and Mobile and Ohio. The first extra ever printed in Tuscaloosa was put on the streets re- gently by the Times
 Messrs. Clabaugh and Bradley own the controlling interest in the Times, MT. Cla- baugh being president and editor and MT. Bradley general manager and secretary and treasurer Great things have been predicted locally regarding the future of the young men, and the news that they are making d success in their new field will be received with much interest.

 The idea is clever1y worked out. Th particular point, however, which we wisI here to emphasize is that MT. Shaw show us Shakespeare in the character of al inveterate taker of noten for subsequerl use in his plays. The queen babbles Il her sleep of some freckles that hay come upon her hands, and complains ths all the perfumes of Arabia will not I'd move them.

From the warder also h borrows ''Frailty, thy name is woman ] and when the worthy official, noticing hi little dodge. reproaches him with bein "a snapper-up of unconsidered trifes" h gleefully notes down that as well
 In view of the great stress laid b Baconians on the Promus or literar storehouse kept by their idol and tn many arguments based upon expression tracked to that source, one wonders MT. Shaw is insidiously trying to prov that in matter so important Shake speare was rival of Bacon on his ow ground.

 THE Bacon versus Shakespeare con-
 troversy. which a little while ago
 A threatened to be renewed with ex- treme virulence in England, has degener- sted into a newspaper war between rival wits and self-esteemed pundits, and, de- scending from the high plane on which it was at one time conducted. has tapered off into mere puerilities about English and Latin anagrams and other trivialities of that enigmatical type.
 In the meantime, another contribution has been made to it, consciously or un- consciously, by one who has hitherto kept himself serenely aloof At matinee given recently in London in aid of the funds for the proposed national theatre there was produced, among other play lets, one by MT. George Bernard Shaw entitled ''The Dark Lady of the Sonnets," and based of course, on the drama which lies concealed in the sonnets oI Shake speare.
 .-A sprightly little piece of one act, and with only four characters, it shows Shakespeare coming to the terrace of Whitehall palace between Ii and F o'clock on midsummer night to keep a tryst with Mistress Mary F'itton, frolicsome maid of honor to the queen. While he waits he is surprised by the apparition of a lady walking in her sleep, whom he takes to be the girl ''whose pretty looks have been mine enemies,' and having awakened her he proceeds to pay her his addresses. To them enters in a fury the real Mary Fitton, and, having called the other lady highly opprobrious name, she gives the astounded will not a short-arm jab, but swinging blow straight from the shoulder, which sends him incon- tinently to the floor. The maid then dis covers to her utter dismay that the other
