Some Men

there are other things, such as Halley's
comet, to sit up at night for?
Davis s. Rose. the retiring mayor of
Milwaukee, turned his back on the in
stallation ceremonies of the new Mayor
Sedel. He was no place to be found
when the exercises were pulled off.
He said that the Socialists of Milwau-
kee or, rather, certain Of their lead
ers, have worked against him on lines
of personal vilifcation, and he de-
sired to show his resentment by go
ing to the country when the band
played at the installation of the chief
city official, placed in position at their
hands. Furthermore Seidel, s an al
derman, never called on Rose as
mayor. Just for that 1t is presumed
that Rose went a little further into
the country.
Charles IT. Braden, candidate for
the Republican nomination for con-
gress from the Third district of WASH
ington, announced at a recent meeting
in Spokane that he intended to defray
expenses of his campaign by charging
admission to hear his speeches, which
will be in the nature of political lee
lures. Mr.. Braden has had a "nervy"
career. He was pastor of a church in
Spokane until about five years ago,
when he retired to go into the real es-
tate business. He Is the man who
"called the bluff" of Spokane saloon
men by decorating the windows of
their spirit shops with examples of
intemperance. Mr. Braden intends to
tour the entire district, speaking, or
lecturing on the live political topics of
the day and charging admission to his
show.
Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley
is among the last Of the seconds In
the corner of Or. Frederick A. COOK
in his north pole battle with Peary.
While nearly everyone else has CON
ceded that Cook is down and out OF
the ring and lost in the dust, Schley
is firm in his faith that Cook was the
original finder of the pole A rumor
that Schley, too, had abandoned Cook
was dispelled by him with this state
ment: IT studied the claims OF DIR.
Cook and I see no reasons to change
my belief that he really reached the
north pole I, think that both were
there. and I think that the best wit
ness that DIR. Cook has of the truth
of his story is Peary himself. The
first explorer is always discredited.
When Marco Polo returned from his
long residence i'm India, China ana
Corea. not even the members of his
own family would believe the tales he
told. / think the American people are
apt to be little hysterical at the out
set, but we settle down and get the
right view finally"
Emeline. the Taft cow-the late TAFT
COW. to be precise-for Emeline passed
into another COW realm the other night,
was not only faithful milker but she
had form and color which made her an
ornament to the White House lawn.
Emeline. being the late Emeline, Is OF
course dead. This, however, is about
Capt. Archibald G. Butt, military aid
to the president, who has been commits
stoned to buy a new COW. The new COW
must be a good mixer and ornamental.
The duty resting upon the shoulders OF
Capt. Butt is one that is not to be
thought of lightly nor considered as
trivial 1t is a duty. the fulfilment OF
which the nation is watching with
anxious eyes. Emeline was an honor
able COW, a worthy COW in every re-
spect and the new COW must be an
honorable and worthy successor. Capt.
Butt does not understand why he
should be given the responsibility, but
he has heard his country's call and be-
ing soldier he will die rather than
fail.
