It remains somewhat in dispute how Of

thority for the guarding at public ex'

zen, but Mr.. Roosevelt then in office,
with his capacity for doing things that
he thought ought to be done, in disregard
to techncalities, directed the secret sery-
ice bureau 70 take charge of the presi-

Candidates of the great parties, during

the secret service is able TO contribute

years American presidents enjoyed a GER

Imagination of Science.

| 1t has been said that every successful
investigator must be endowed with a
certain amount of imagination without
which most research is likely TO be me-
docre and devoid of genuine interest.
! Imagination whether We call it by that
name or not--s the incentive that spurs
| to the highest scientific effort, The
| ideas which stimulate to useful work
are sometimes allowed to find expression
in words before they are tested in real
| ity by crucial experiment. Sometimes
they work out" as we say; not infre-
Iquently they remain a tentative fgment
OF the mind
Illustrations in the history of science
are numerous. Oxygen was merely a
principle 10 Lavoisier in l7T7; and when,
Il century later. it was produced in
liquefed form, 1.-THE metaphor had be-
come an actuality." When in writing
LOT the blood Harvey wondered whether
there might not be motion, as 1t were,
in circle he expressed in metaphor
cal language what only later became the
fact of the circulation" through the Wis
ible demonstration of Malpighi. Willis
penned the metaphor as to the impress
sion OF an object driving the animal
spirits inward, thus giving rise to sen
sation, whereupon they rebound outward
sin a reflected wave as ii were" to call
forth local movement. This mental
picture portrays those reflex actions OF
which physiology to-day can demon
stratc the actual phenomena and modern
histology unfold their material paths to
the eye. In physiologie chemistry tho
synthesis of the active principle of the
suprarenal glands represents "the crys-
utilization of notion; the thing OF the
mind has become a thing Of the labora
tory; the thought has been captured
and bottled" 1t is sometimes given to-
the man Of science "to touch, to taste,
TO handle what was once only notion,
a suggestion, a forecast either in his
own day or that of less fortunate pre-
decessor." The fabric of progress, says
the journal OF the American Medical |
Association, is woven from legitimate
dreams to a greater extent than the |
practical man is wont to realize or |
willing to admit.

Where Tips Go.

In the October American Magazine. a
professor in nm eastern university writes
a. follows ON the subject of hotel tips:
Il can readily see that there are at
least two kinds of tipping practice. In
| one case a person tips waiter for serv-
ice rendered, and in the expectation that
the waiter IS TO keep the tip. | do not
particularly object TO this. II is a per
sonal matter between the servant and
| the served. ! understand, however, that
! there is now an organized system of con-
cessions designed to further the practice
/ of tipping in order that persons who
employ the servants may receive the ben
eft thereof / am told that one OF the
popular hotels in Buffalo. for example,
sells the concession for 81 500 a year.
The concessionaire then furnishes the
bell boys and the hat-checkers, paying
them, and taking the profits in the way
OF tips. | understand that practically
whenever the hat. checking at our main
hotels and restaurants is in the hands
Of attractive girls, the girls are working
for eoncessionaires, and that the public
is taken advantage of for the benefit
OF such employers.

Everybody will excuse Gov. Wilson if
he should keep on campaigning in spite
of the disability of Col. Roosevelt and
the decision of President Taft not to go
on the stump. He need not think that
lie would be taking undue advantage
over sick man and over man who
was not willing to electioneer, Wilson's
compunctions in the matter are drawn
too fine altogether Keep it up, Gov
ernor, and get all the votes you can; they
will come in handy next month Taft
and Roosevelt will look out for them
selves.

LETTERS TO

Editor, Daily Times: | would consider
it great favor to me il You would
please correct the statement which was
printed in your valuable paper on the
18th inst, when it was stated that
was the one who was looking for q
fight and following him about. He was
the one to start the trouble with me,
and | can prove he requested me to come
outdoors on two different times and he
would show me what he would do.
certainly had to make some answer to
his request but it was more to tell him
in plain words that he was interfering
with my business and that he was wrong.
Now as TO the punishment ! received
from him. 1t was not necessary and |
do say he was in the wrong and used
too much brute force. Now | am ready
and willing To prove this. My reason
for requesting you to correct his state
ment is so that | can have my rights
and that the public will not be led astray
and the whole blame put on my shout
ders.
Please excuse me for taking up your
time, but ! do want TO get
fair play. Respectfully yours,

Congressman Plumley and Greene were
not compelled to go to the legislature
for their reductions, but they did have
to wait some time before being Off
cially notified by that same legislature
that they were elected several weeks
ago Each shared to certain extent in
the loss OF votes to the Republican NOM
ipees for various offices, but the margin
for each was sufficient to give them as
surance of confidence on the part of their
constituents.

with this man Schrenk. Probably the
