The Brightness of HaIley's
Comet

The brilliancy of a comet as it
appears to our eyes depends on two
factors: first, its distance from the
sun, and, second, its distance from
the earth. The nearer to the sun
the more does our sun act on the
comet and increase its intrinsic
brightness, and, of course, the near
er any bodyis to our eye the bright
er will it be. Halley's comet is
nearest the sun on April Goth, when
of itself it will be most luminous.
But after that date it gets closer
and closer to us till May 18th. I'm
mediately after that date the comet
should be very brilliant, and it will
be favorably situated in the evening
sky for US to see it. The comet in
1885 was less bright than it had
been in 1853, when it had tail so
degrees in length, not because it
had intrinsically decreased in bril-
liancy but because the earth was un-
favorably situated in its orbit to
give us near view. While nothing
is known absolutely of how bright
the comet will be, astronomers are
generally agreed that it will be
splendid object readily visible to the
naked eye, with tail at least 80
degrees in length. In fact, the
comet will be seen better without
telescope than with one, and for
those who are not astronomers
look through a big glass would be

with sayings and sentiment of
prominent church members on the
question pro and con, and as auth
ority we accept only such as are
given officially.
We think it altogether mistake
on your part to show your antipathy
toward the working class, for after
all, if you could but disposess your
mind of some of its false ideas, you
would see that they are the bone
and sinew of society, and with all
their faults they possess that native
honesty, as a class, which not only
gives value received, but many
times more.
Leading men in the Church have
in the past noted this. The late
president, Lorenzo Snow, in his
famous address to the world, saw
that the greatest achievement of the
twentieth century would be the
emancipation of the working class;
He said: Look up we toiling mill
lions that earn your bread in the
sweat of your face, the hour of
your redemption is at hand" If
we differ on these matters, let us
do so honestly and discuss them on
their merits; but don't attack our
standing in the church, because
when you do we will fight.

HOW TO PLAY THE GAME

The Tombstone Prospector offers
a series of rules for the popular
game of Stuff" which might be
followed by some of our Stafford
players:
Always deal yourself good hand;
do it honestly if you can, but do it.
Don't frog" if you havn't got
| it,.
Don't forget that there are but
three cards in the kitty" and the
average count would be only eight.
The reason it is call the kitty" is
because it has the feminine trait of
uncertainty.
If you find that you can't remem-
ber that the jack is high after the
ace, ten, king and queen have been
played, go home-you're probably
full.
In leading always use your best
Judgment and lead from your long
or short suit, or sneak.
n Sllcdh III u ullipS 10 d SOOu lcdu,
if not the ten spot, and if you have
no trumps at all, don't lead them.
Don't Intentionally deceive your
partner--he will accuse you of it,
anyway.
If possible don't let aces or ten
spots die in your hand; your partner
feels hurt and it spoils your own
temper. -
Don't fail to remember that you
must trump if you cannot follow
suit; and if you renig' play quick
or tell funny story to distract at
tention.
This is dangerous rule, and only
"renig" when fully armed, or play
ing with men much smaller than
yourself.
At the end of each hand-if you
roast your partner; and if you
win, explain to everybody how you
did it.

First Base Ball Yarn

1t being now very near the base
ball season, when Ed Webster has
emerged from winter Information
and when yarns of the diamond are
again in vogue, the mind reverts
once more to that most amazing
tale which was brought from Grip.
pie Creek few seasons ago by one
Tots Birkedahl, the brilliant captain
of the then Luxus team, now the
Ironworkers. The story was at
tested to by George Morrison Reid
and the stalwart gladiators who
wore the uniforms of the Reid State
League team that year.
The exact testimony of one jim
my Hanley, owner of the Cripple
Creek team, bearing upon this par
ticular yarn, has never been broken
down. but it is assumed that he
will likewise bear witness to the
truthfulness of Tots, George and all
the rest.
The Luxus delegation was playing
game with Cripple Creek. The
score was close. Cripple Creek was
at the bat.
There were three men on the
bases and two were out, when a
batter came up and slammed the
ball against the fence. 1t was not
drive that would have counted
very much under ordinary circum-
stances. The Luxus fielder sped
after the ball, the catcher was set
for the throw home, and no one an
ticipated any difficulty in cutting
off a run.
The fielder was observed going
through weird gyrations at the
fence. The ball was not forthcom-
ing. Runners were scoring. Half
the team ran out to see about that
fielder, who was tugging away at
the fence. They found that the
ball had struck nail, which was
driven point inward through plank,
and the sphere was so tightly i'm
paled that the efforts of all the nine
men could not remove it.
Meantime, of course, all the run
ners scored.
Now that would be all right as
simple base ball story, and we could
accept the Birkedahl-Reid version,
because they make affidavit that
they brought the nail and ball home,
but it now develops that George
Reid charges Jimmy Hanley with
having driven that nail in that par
ticular place for that particular pur-
pose.

The Greatest Advertiser

When Theodore Roosevelt returns
to this country he will get a recep-
ton much more enthusiastic than
that accorded w. j. Bryan, or any
other American. Colonel Roosevelt
is the best politician this country
has produced in many years. When
compelled to retire from the Presi-
dency, because of the third-term
precedent, he planned trip that
has made him more prominent than
the President of the United States
has been during his absence. He is
as much in the public eye now as he
was when occupying the White
House.
And the Roosevelt enthusiasm
seems to be increasing.
What will be the result of it?
Roosevelt is certainly a candidate
for the Presidency again, and he
has the people of the nation coming
his way as certainly and unmistaka-
bly, as Hon. Stubbs has the people
of Kansas coming his way.
Will Colonel Roosevelt wait eight
years? We doubt it. We believe
he will decide that four years is
vacation enough, and we halfway
believe that when Roosevelt made
Taft President it was with the un-
derstanding that he should retire in
four years in the interest of Roose-
welt. t.-Atchison (Kan.) Globe.

The People Betrayed

The controlling organization of
the republican party is worse than
discredited before the country. 1t
stands condemned, by public senti-
ment and overwhelming public ex-
preston, for betraying the people
on the tariff.
That betrayal was conscienceless,
brutal and defent. The people
may know that the increased cost of
living is not entirely due to the tar
iff, but they are keenly sensitive to
the eno1mities of the tariff burden.
That sensitiveness forced the nomi-
nation of President Taft and his
promises and those of the republi-
can platform that the tariff would
be revised downward.
No party, no president, ever had
a finer opportunity to merit and en-
list enlightened popularity than the
republican party and President Taft
one year ago. That opportunity
was disregarded. The country was
betrayed and has utterly repudiated
those leaders who are responsible
for the betrayal.
But the amazing spectacle is that,
with the best possible means for
knowing public feeling, with evi-
dences of party generalization on
every hand, and with a congress
sional election coming on, not one
thing has been done, and not one
intelligent thing has been proposed
by those controlling leaders in con-
gress to repair the damage or lessen
its political effects. Editorial in The
Kansas City Star Republican,.

prestige, and its power, and its
magnificent organization, republi-
canism," says the New York World
Qnd. Dem.) is today fighting on
the defensive"
Chief among the causes of con-
sternation in the republican ranks
are the election to Congress of a
democratic candidate, Eugene N.
Foss, from the rock-ribbed republi-
can Fourteenth District of Massa-
chusetts; the subjugation of Speak
er Cannon and the republican reg
ulars" in the rules contest by a
coalition of democrats and "insur-
gents; the revelations of persistent
party discord in Ohio, New York
and Indiana; the election, for the
first time in it's history, of a demo-
cratic State senator in the Spring
field district of Massachusetts; and
the republican reverses in the re-
cent municipal elections throughout
New York and the New England
States. Less recent, but in line
with these events, was the election
of De Almond in Missouri by
greatly increased democratic ma
jority. The party atmosphere is
further troubled by the results of
another poll by the Chicago Tribune
Qnd. Rep.), this time among the in
dependent and republican editors of
the East. The Tribune's question,
DO you indorse the Aldrich Tariff
Law" elected only 1877 affirmative
answers to 7S9 negatives. Of these
789 papers declaring themselves un-
able to approve the new tariff, at
least 500 are republican organs.
The question. is Cannon your
choice for Speaker?"-asked before
the recent curtailment of his power
an array of S79 inde-
pendent and republican editors op-
posed to Uncle Joe," while 155
rallied to his support.
In its analysis of this poll The
Tribune says, in part:
Among the States in the East,
Vermont shows the strongest op-
position to the Aldrich Law, only
one editor placing himself on record
as favoring it. But the republican
editors of every State except Rhode
Island, so far as the poll shows, are
overwhelmingly against the law. In
Rhode Island the editors voting are
evenly divided.
In only three congressional dis
tricts in the States east of Ohio have !
a majority of the republican editors
The Tribune's poll placed
on record as favoring
the Aldrich Law. These three dis
tricts are the Second in Rhode Is
