out or the hands of the professional po-
litieai bosses. and this has been called a
defeat for Roosevelt
What are the facts? Instead of being
defeated. Col. Roosevelt hnds himself.
whether he win or not. in the position Of
natural leader of the reform element Of
the Republican party in New York. and
to that element his leadership is a tower
of strength. He also finds himself thrust
into this position of leadership on an
issue TO which he can. with heart ana
conscience, devote his entire energy and
strength. He is to be the st. George
who is to rescue the people frem the
dragon of domination of the political
bosses. He is to be the leader of the
modern crusade IN the East which is to
give into the hands Of the people them
selves the right to nominate good men
and true for Office. 1t is leadership in
cause that justifies itself; a cause so
big and with consequences so vital that
it alone is sufficient to account for Mr..
Rooseyelt's re-entry into the political
arena.
And the role-ln a measure forced upon
him-.s one that suits his temperament
and his locals; for it arrays him against
evil influences IN politics and puts him
squarely on the side OF the people in a
battle for their rights. And with such a
fight TO be fought, II is good 70 remember
that though Gov. Hughes goes TO the
Supreme Court, Roosevelt remains-and
that he is not in the habit Of losing
battles.

Chief Justice Fuller.

The death of Melville Weston Fuller in
his seventy-eighth year removes from
the arena Of public life in America one
Of its most picturesque figures. APP
pointed in ISIS to the position of Chief
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court. he served successfully through the
administrations OF Benjamin Harrison,
William Mckinley, and Theodore Roose-
Welt, II he was not widely and popularity
known as a man of public affairs, this
fact was due primarily to the peculiar
nature Of his Office which, while its
work is Of the very greatest importance
10 the public welfare. seldom appeals as
d topic for public discussion. The very
fact, perhaps. that Chief Justice Fuller
as a man was less widely known speaks
volumes for his value and fer his pre-
eminent fitness for the position he oecu-
pied.
Prior to his appointment to the Chief
Justiceship of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, the highest legal Office in
the land. Melville ". Fuller had been
prominent in public activities. Noted in
his own State of Maine as a lawyer, he
had also been for a time associate edi-
tor of a Democratic paper called the
Age; had been president of the com
mon council OF Augusta. Me. and had
served as city solicitor of that town. In
1856 he removed from Maine to Chicago.
where in 1863 he was elected a member
of the state legislature. and he was dele
gate to the Democratic national conven-
tons Of 1864. 1872, 1876, and 1880, and all the
time he was engaged in Chicago in the
practice of law.
Il was, perhaps, fortunate for him that
the vacancy in the Office of Chief JUS
tice fell during the administration Of
Grover Cleveland. This President had
long been an admlrer of Chief Justice
Fuller and promptly appointed him TO
the highest legal Office in his gift
His services as Chief Justice extended
over thirty years. during which time
Chief Justice Fuller's personality i'm
pressed itself as largely as possible upon
the public life of Washington. Shortly
after coming here he was made ehanceI-
lor Of the Smithsonian Institution; he be-
came chairman of the trustees of the
Peabody education fund; vice president
Of the John T. Slater fund, and a mem
Der Of the board Of trustees OF Bowdoin
College. from which he himself was
graduated in 1858
His public work and his talents were
also officially recognized by his appoint
ment as one of the arbitrators 10 settle
the boundary line between Venezuela
and British Guiana. the arbitration board
meeting in Paris in 1893. He was also a
member Of the permanent court of arbi-
tration at The Hague, and was a mem
Der Of the arbitral tribunal Of the Mus
cat Downs at The Hague in 1895.
His incumbency of the Office OF Chief
Justice was marked during his thirty
years service by ripe scholarship. con.
servatism of judgment, and devotion tc
high ideals. In his death. the United
States loses talented and highly valued
public servant and Washington loses one
OF it's most notable figures.

STRIKING A LIGHT.
odd Methods Employed by the Civil
iEed and the Savage.

iEed and the Savage.
From the Kansas City Times
The world was thousands OF years old
before matches were known. The little
tip OF the match looks very simple. yet
it Is made OF SO many substances put
together that II took chemists years 10
discover just what materials could be
used In making e.
Savages know nothing about matches,
so make their light in other ways.
Sometimes the unoivilized people rub
two dry pieces OF wood together until
one catches fire. Often they use two
stones striking one against the other
until spark falls amid some dry leaves
and starts a small blaze.
The Australian bushman uses a
method of his own TO procure a light
First he selects two pieces Of light wood
each about foot long from the cork
tree or black FIG tree, One a fiat piece
he lays on the ground amid a pile Of
dry leaves Upon this strip OF wood he
kneels in order 70 hold down the ends.
Then he rolls the other pointed stick
between the palms Of his hands so that
II bores hole into the fiat strip OF wood
This makes fine wood dust which
catches on fire, sending its sparks among
the dry leaves. BY blowing upon the
tiny light the bushman soon has a fire
which he feeds with more leaves
The Malay sailors follow much the
same plan as the bushman They use
a piece Of split bamboo. making a notch
across It's hollow side Saving into this
notch slowly then rapidly with a sharp
edged piece OF bamboo, wood dust is
soon made. This catches fire and falls
upon the dry leaves which the wise
sailor has placed to catch the sparks.
In the forests Of South America the
natives often strike two stones together
until little spark flies out Instead
Of using dry leaves to receive this tiny
bit OF fire they prefer 10 build little
heaps Of fluffy bird feathers. striking
a light is a term which has come TO US
from our ancestors. They struck two
flint stones together until the spark few
into a finder box Of charred threads OF
linen. This tiny light was blown into a
fame. Then a match tipped with brim-
stone or sulphur was lighted from the
little fire so that the candles or stove
fires might be lighted These finder
boxes and the birthstone matches were
always kept where they were very easy
10 get.

der Box" by Hans Andersen. you viii
remember that the soldier promised 10
bring the witch. the finder box, for help

From the New York Mail
American extravaganza appears in ore
of its most reckless forms in the national
use of patent medicines. The habit Of
Standardization is almost a disease in
itself. the evil effects OF which are mat
tiers of growing concern 10 the medical
profession. The traffic in so-ealled cures
for consumption affords a striking ex-
ample of this habit In a bulletin recent
iy issued by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
it is stated that the American people
spend more than Sl5o00,000 every year for
preparations advertised as cures for con-
sumption. This money, IL is pointed out,
is worse than wasted, for the reason that
the persons taking those alleged remedies
are often SO badly affected by them that
g real cure is rendered impossible The
longing for health never received more
pathetic expression than It finds in those
figures.
