The Judge on Roosevelt.

Judge Peter S. Grosscup has return
ed to Chicago, and he brings this as
founding information as the result of
his trip to Eudope: Theodore Roose-
velt is a man of vast information, but
he is not a man of deep information.
His judgments are hasty. He is not
accustomed to think much before he
speaks" This is important if true.
And, by the way, what has become of
that resolution which a member of
congress introduced into the house of
calling for an investi-
cation into the charges made by "The
Appeal to Reason made against the
Judge?
Grosscup seems to be man Of deep
Information. and an inquiry into the
way in which he has become suddenly
rich would make mighty interesting
reading at this time.

might be found. for now she knew it
was Stephen WOOD VINO had stopped
ard spoken to her that day in the
railway station.
After all. the visit did not turn out
to be as enjoyable as Lydia had an
ticipated.
The little house seemed very lonely
when Lydia returned 10 saltwater.
May had come. and with it the smell
Of apple blossoms and young clover.
Lydia leaned over the gate and watch
ed the golden cloud Of dust that pre-
ceded the rumbling stage. The even
ing train was in. and presently. after
the stage had carried the mail 10 the
postofice. she would. throw shawl
about her shoulders and 20 down after
her newspaper and letters.
The stage rolled past. The driver
waved his whip mt her. and her gaze
followed the vehicle down the long
street into the village. She did not
hear footsteps approaching from the
opposite direction. and rs she turned
her head Polly's familiar voice broke
harshly on the still air:
Here we are. sir: Well. well. Be.a
good boy. Stephen. and marry Lyd-
dy''- Polly's voice died away in an
indignant squawk as n strong hand
reached in the cage and chastised him.
1t was Stephen Wood bringing Polly
home.
"Mrs. Brent told me you had return
ed home. and so ] have brought the
bird back to you. Miss Thorne. ] am
sure you must have thought me imper-
tinent that day in the station. OF
course you did not know me, but
recognized PoIly's voice and should
have made myself known to you at
once"

gratefully as she opened the gate to
admit him, ''but / was very tired, and
was little tired Of Polly just then.
and it all happened so suddenly. You
understands"
"Of course I understand. Polly is
tiresome most OF the time, but he has
many good qualities. If he had not
recognized me that day I would not
have the pleasure of returning him TO
you" said Mr.. Wood.
They sat down ON. the steps. and the
man looked admirinSly at Lydia. pink
and glowing and sweet as one of the
apple blooms overhead.
BE a good boy. Stephen, and marry
Lyddy. and everything viii be all
right" shriIled Polly suddenly, and
there was such a note Of prophecy in
mis- raucous voice that Lydia's brown
eyes fell before Stephens steady blue
ones. and this time Polly went unre-
buked.

Free Material.

Since the duty was removed from
hides there has been SO great a de-
mand for leather that the price of
hides has not come down, but, on the
contrary, advanced. No one, however,
we presume, would suggest that the
removal Of the duty was favorable to
the advance. The Haverhill Gazette,
published in the region of boot and
shoe factories, says that "the placing
of this commodity on the free list has
acted as a stimulus to the leather and
tanning industries, in consequence of
which there has been very material ex-
pansion of manufacturing, while en-
ployment is thereby provided for an
Increased number of people"
One of the things the country needs
Is free raw materials. Manufacturers
themselves need it.

ure in the house as being against
the welfare Of the people. Both the
senate and house bills will then be
sent to a conference committee COM
posed Of either three or five MEM
bers OF each branch of congress. AS
the majority of the conferees will be
regular" republicans, specially Sc
lected by Aldrich and Cannon, 1t goes
without saying that much of the
good work accomplished by the house
democrats and progressives will be
reversed.
The finale of the railroad bill
promises to be the tariff fasco all
over again.
Representative government will
have given special privilege a tight
race, but in the finish Aldrichism and
Cannonism will win by nose! But
why should such a result be consid-
cred strange? For what purpose do
the railroads make 100000 contri-
buttons to the republican campaign
fund if it is not to control the repub-
lican party's legislation?
The Mccall campaign publicity bill
has been amended as to provide for
the publication of campaign contribu-
lions after election, instead of be-
fore and after election. Publicity of
contributions after elections is re-
garded by democrats as something
like locking the door of the stable
after the horse has been stolen. Sen
ator Burrows of Michigan, chairman
of the senate committee on privi-
leges and elections, very kindly ex-
planned why the provision for public
ity of contributions before election
had been stricken from the Mccall
bill. "If," said Senator Burrows, I'VE
were to give out the list of contrib
utors prior to an election it would
mean that INSCRIPTIONS newspapers
and persons would take advantage
of the information thus disclosed and
proceed to denounce the candidate
on the strength of the character of
the contributions made to his cam
paign.'' In other words, if the voters
were permitted to know who was
putting up the money for the candi-
dates campaign they might defeat
him. Could a stronger argument be
presented for publicity before cleo
ton as well as after election? Think
it over.
Instead of saving any portion of
the $300,O0O,O00 which Senator Aid
rich asserts is being wasted by the
government annually through "obso-
lete business Methods the Taft ad-
ministration threatens to break all
records in the history of the govern
ment in the enormous expenditure
of money. 1t looks now as if the
appropriations for this session of con-
gress would exceed the appropriations
