Back to Earth.

Old Jabez Jones he used to say
He'd not be satisfied
Until he got boss some day
Whose speed would be his pride.
And when he got the boss he said
He couIo not rest serene
Until he got car that sped
by force of gasoline.
And when he got his motor car,
Its pleasures all proved vain;
He cried, How small such trifles are!
I want an aeroplane."
Alas! How swift ambition flies
And buoyantly uplifts
Till We forget to duly prize
LIES simple natural gifts.
The rheumatic" caught Jabez Jones
And caused his joints to balk
And now he'd be right glad. he owns,
70 get chance to walk!

1888 and 1904.

Former Attorney General Miller con-
tributes an important chapter to the
history of the Harrison presidential cam
paign of 1888. interest in which has been
revived by the charges of the late MI
Platt. 1t appears that nst only did
Gen. Harrison make no promises OF pat
ronage for votes in the nominating con-
vention that year. but refused to barter
patronage for support at critical time
in the contest for election. He stood
upon his character as man and his
obligations to his party as its candidate
for the highest office in the country, and
put threats and temptations behind him.
Note me maneuvers of foxy politicians
in places of the highest Importance. 1t
is October, within month of election
day. The candidate is advised by the
campaign manager that the committee
is strapped, and that without money
from some quarter for expenses defeat
is certain. Two friends of Gen. Harrison
-one of them Mr.. Miller himself-maie
the journey to headquarters and confer
with the manager, who confirms to them
the alarming information the candidate
has received. They are advised to see
Mr.. Platt, and do so. and he proposes
to raise the necessary money If Gen.
Harrison in case of election will per-
NIT him to name the Secretary of the
Interior. When submitted to him, the
proposition was instantly rejected by the
candidate.
Was this an attempted hold-up? Is
there anything in the political career of
either Mr.. Quay or Mr.. Platt that makes
the suggestion unfair or at all fmprob-
able? The time was short, the stake
large, and, as they saw matters, the
temptation great. But they did not know
their man. Gen. Harrison could neither
be bluffed nor bought. and with the game
in their hands they could not afford to
throw it away. And they did not.
How history repeats itself! Turn now
to October, 1904, sixteen years later. The
Roosevelt campaign is. booming, espe-
cially in New York state. And yet there
is anxiety in the Presidents camp. and
he shares it. While it is at its height, E.
H. Hartman jumps into the game. The
party needs money for expenses, and he
volunteers to raise it. He asks for no
Office for himself. or another. He will do
what he can as republican and one who
considers the partys success necessary
to the country's welfare.
There is no record Of how much money
Mr.. Hartman raised, or how 1t was
used, but in the light of what the cleo
ton returns showed the anxiety about
New York looked ludicrous after the
event. The state could not possibly have
been carried for Judge Parker by any
means; and there is strong belief in
we'll informed republican circles that the
subsequent row between Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Hartman grew out of the idea
of the former that, in way, he had
been bunkoed by the latter, for purely
selfish purposes, and because of a desire
of the latter to appear Indispensable at
an important stage OF the campaign.

Criticisms of Rockefeller Plan.
From the Chicago Record-H Herald

FROM the chicago Record-Herah.
DR.. Eliot and John Bigelow cannot
share the enthusiasm with which the
proposed incorporation of the Rockefel-
Ter Foundation. has been received SO gen
orally. They enter dissenting opinions.
as it were. and, coming from sources SO
high and disinterested, these opinions
are certain to attract much attention.
Yet they seem strangely unsound and
even superficial. DR.. Eliot is mot in
favor of applying the principles of in
corporation to benevolent and human-
tartan activities, for that would be Ito
commentaries the matter too far But
we already have all manner of corpora
tons mot for profit and it Is too late
to object to them. Besides, there can be
no "commercialization'' where there Is
no desire or hope Of gain. no selfish in
terest. no thought OF personal, material
advantage. Incorporation for the sake
of efficiency in giving and permanence is
surely compatible with the highest ideal
ism.

Anger.
From the Baltimore American.

justify it's rule, anger yet occupies the
Hottest throne and yields the most
tyrannous power. So far from having an
unchallenged rule. it's pretensions are
more vigorously and constantly contested
of human conduct 1t ranges It's battal-
ions of venom and malice. of misrepre-
Sentation and injustice. it's cohorts of
criminal aspersion and libelous allega-
ton. its even darker minions to support
it's sway over humanity. 1t does no good
simply to arraign anger, for more indict-
ments have been made out against 1t in
every court of human opinion than have
been brought against any other conspira-
tor for high crimes and misdemeanors
1t is enough to quote the familiar adage
that whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad"

Cobb and Corn.

The anti-Hughes men in the New York
senate, in the contest last night for pre-
siding officer In place of Mr.. Aids, got
the Cobb, but what the republican party
of the state needs is a cob with corn on
il. The old order in the state is dead.
With the republicans it is the new, or
nothing. A combination spelling anti
Hughes, anti-Root and anti-Taft and a
re-enIisting of the Black Horse Cavalry,
would, If triumphant in the general party
organization, mean democratic success
in November, with anybody at the head
of the ticket.
