What Will the Colonel Saw?

Col. Rooseveh's experiences in Egypt
in passing through which he managed to
stir the populace as it has not been agi-
calculated to give the governments of
Europe considerable food for thought
during the few days that will elapse be-
fore he lands on the continent. 1t is
plain that while he is determined to abb
stain from talking American politics un-
til he returns to the United States, he is
not going to keep off the grass of old
world affairs. One OF his first utterances
In Egypt was an admonition to the Brit
fish officers on duty in that country to
keep aloof from political agitation and
discussion, most excellent advice, indeed,
for "a soldier to give to other soldiers.
He Immediately followed precept with
contrary practice and gave utterance to
one of the most sensational speeches
that has been delivered In Egypt 10
years, denouncing a recent political as
sassination and advising the members OF
the Egyptian party that they are not
ready for self-rule. His speech has un-
doubtedly embarrassed the British gov
eminent inasmuch as no reply could be
made to it, and IL must stand construc-
lively as the sentiment of the British
administration in Egypt. whereas it has
been the policy of the administration
for some time past to placate the ma

On Having a Cold.
From the Columbus Ohio State Journal

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal
According to DR.. Wiley, the chief of
the pure food bureau, it is a crime to
have a cold This seems like a very
smart remark, but the doctor means
well. He means that all colds can be
avoided. If person breathes pure air.

he will not get a cold. Every cold In
dicates that a person has been careless
or unwise in one or more of these
things. and this is itself a fault, of
which the cold is the punishment; for
that is what a cold is every time.
People are heard So often to say: Il
have bad cold" According to DIR.
Wiley, all colds are bad, and the per-
son who says he has bad cold is bad
himself for he has broken some good
law. That is the predicament per-
son is in who says he has a bad cold.
Instead. therefore, of a person going
about telling everybody what bad
cold he has. he should keep 1t to him
self, since 1t is only a confession of
his own badness. That itself would be
great gain-for person to endure
his cold and say nothing.

The attorneys for Senator Allds-now

against him as political. They are GER
tain that their client is a victim of out

A party in straits threw member over

Ing legislation for money. The one act
is assassination OF character; the other, a
species Of thieving. And the assassin is
much worse man than the thief.
But the public VIII not accept Mr.
Aids as a victim of political circum-
stances. The case presented against him
supported the Senate's action. Such ac-
ton was expected by the public, and will
be approved by the public. 1t strengthens
the contention that new day has dawn
ed at Albany. and new methods are nee
eSsary.
And the question now is, How far will
the new bright light penetrate, and what
further of a shady character will it
disclose? Mr.. Aids could not have been
the only legislator tainted with graft in

A Great Man.
From the New York World,

From the New York World.
To say of Justice Brewer that he was
a great judge and great man is to sum
up his character. BY his profound learn
ing by his force of intellect, by his broad
sympathies and by his fine democratic
instincts he impressed himself upon his
generation as few persons held down by
judicial conditions ever have done. In
him the balance between the professional
jurist occupied with abstruse questions of
law and the individual citizen mindful of
the human cares that occupied the men
and women of his day was wonderfully
adjusted. The judge never submerged the
man. In both respects he rose fully to
his responsibilities. On the bench Justice
Brewer compelled public respect by his
independence Of action. by the clear,
direct logic of his opinions and by the
breadth of his views. In private and on
thc platform his frankness of speech and
religious devotion to principle In spite
of the boisterous tendencies Of the times
made him wholesome influence among
thinking people.

Maryland Legislation.

There will be no regret over the fact
that this is the last week of the pres
ent legislature. Maryland has haC
some unique and useless parliaments In
it's history. but for general apathy
dullness and ineff1ciency the present
body not only takes the cake. but
walks off easily with all the contents
of the bakeshop. From governor t
camp follower there has been no note
or sign of intelligent leadership in the
democratic majority. There has beer
no suspicion of craftsmanship. The
dominant notes have been two: DOVE
