Most city boys and girls might think
big. iutty rooster Il rather queer
pet, and 50 perhaps it is. but the boy
in the picture. who lives in Indiana.
has fine times in the company Of his
bird companion. He has had him ever
since he was Il wee chick. and they
know each other very well. Every
morning at sunrise Whitley begins to
crow, and as he has a fine, clear voice
the whole neighborhood hears him.
His master. however. does not always
respond Immediately to his invitation
to get up. but when he does he car
ries corn and water to his early rising
cOmrade.

A Chinese Class.

In China. far across the sea,
Where things are odd as they can be.
You never heard such din and noise
AS in the schools for little boys.
From brightest pupil down to Ounce
They study all out loud at once
In fact, they fairly scream and shout
At top of lungs their lessons out.
To do our studies quietly
In school is best for you and me,
But sometimes when we have to sit
So very still think of It
How it would help like anything
To ease us in our fldgeting
If we could yell bit. you know
As schoolboys do in far Ningpo.

it is said, will hinge measurably upon
the mark set by the Republicans, as
has been the case In the past.
This bit of strategy Is Bryan's long

Indiana

The modest request by Indlanas for
al Convention is but one way the
Hoosier politicians have TO get
there" We are not at all surprised,
for modesty never has been a speciality
with Indiana voters no matter of what
political persuasion. Then pension
rolls bear mute evidence OF it. The
convention hall proper will seat all
told 11,1S9 persons delegates included
and SO far State Chairman Smms and
Chairman New have been in receipt of
letters requesting 1900 tickets with
more demands pouring in upon them
hourly. II is true Indiana is "debata-
BILE and the Hoosier voter is a big
man at this juncture, but really, now,
a few seats ought to be reserved for
the delegates themselves. for the
press. and for some men of promin-
ence in other states.
The decision of the National Com
mittee in the case of the four dele
gates at large from that State, seating
the Taft claimants was unanimous
showing that even the Roosevelt adj
herents in the National Committee
were convinced that the delegates in
the State convention, the seating of
whom formed the basis of the contest
had been elected at a primary at
which a majority in favor OF Taft had
been recorded. The Indiana situation
had been the occasion OF loud com
plant on the part of Col. Roosevelt
and he was seconded by the defeated
politicians who made the mast of his
vigorous denunciation of the "lraudu-
lent manner in which they had been
beaten.
II was the same thing in the South,
and as the emptiness of these contests
becomes apparent it may result in
less and less support of the contest
ants by the Roosevelt members of the
National Committee. - Washington

THE CUBAN RESURRECTION.

Perhaps one of the most ominous
features in the Cuban situation is the
anti-negro feeling which has mani
tested itself in Havana following out
breaks in the suburb of that city. The
fact that several newspapers have re-
fused to publish any more negro news
items and that threatening anti-negro
mobs have been parading shows that
the whites of the capital are in a pan
icky condition, Now. the more respect
able element among the Cuban ne
groes has held aloof from the EstenoZ
revolt, and it is just such persons as
these whose doings, social and other
wise would be apt to find space in the
newspapers. The tendency, therefore.
toward violence on the part of the
whites serves to solidify the interests
OF negroes of all degrees and to accen-
tuate class strife.
The best authorities seem to he of
the opinion that the Cubans are
capable of suppressing the uprising
themselves if the United States will
do patrol work. It is therefore unnec-
essary TO assume that every move
ment of American marines means in
teryention. The road to efficient demo
cratic government by people unaccus-
toned thereto is rocky TO travel and
one which takes time

TO REGULATE TREATING"

The Supreme Court OF Washington
State has had recently under consider
alton an ordinance of the city of Ia
coma which sought to prevent the
pernicious habit Of treating" II APP
pears that saloonkeeper treated"
one man to drink, was arrested and
found guilty, and he then took the
case to the highest State court on the
ground that to prevent man from
doing as he pleased in this regard
was an unconstitutional infringement
Of the rights of personal liberty. The
court after due delberation handed
down the decision that the city had a
perfect right to regulate the custom,
and that II was not an abridgement
OF the rights of any individual.
Treating" as carried to excess is
purely American custom which un.
fortunately is rapidly spreading
around the world Wherever it ap-
pears II creates trouble and brings
about condition that is detrimental
to the public generally. The old
German custom of everyone buying
what he himself wanted. and allow
ing the other man to do the same is
the only really sane and sensible
way of regulating the drink habit.
III that custom were to supplant the
treating" of America it is a fore
gone conclusion that there would be
little left for the prohibition adyo-
cate to work upon.
1t is not drinking of itself that is
the curse of this country, but rather
the habit of treating" A man
wants one drink, he enters some
place where they dispense what he
desires. There he meets a couple of
friends. and before he knows it he
has taken three drinks, bought three
drinks and has done something that
he didn't want to do. The old
Scotchman's adage that "One drink is
enough, two is too much and three
is not half enough" holds good in
this connection.
Treating is absurd, although time
has made it stand for sign of good
fellowship. Really there is no more
reason why one man should ask an
other in to have a drink than he
should insist that his friend have a
clean collar with him. Making treat
ing misdemeanor and then seeing
to 1t that the ordinance or law is
lived up to. would be in great
measure a solution for the over
drinking habit.-Pittsburg Post.

Sharp interchanges between Fran

who will appear today in the hearing
OF the California contests, repeatedly
referred to frauds in Kentucky cleo
tons and compared conditions to
those that existed in California under
Abe Ruef.
Early objections TO his remarks
were followed late in the afternoon
by sarcastic replies of thanks" from
Taft members of the committee when
he criticised their decisions.
Judge Edward c. O'Rear, of Frank,

ments for the Roosevelt forces, ad-

large were not very strong, and Sen

The contest Of the Seventh Ken
lucky district was based largely on
the fact that the legal boundaries of
the district had been changed by
State reapportionmcnt between the
time when the district convention
was called and the time when it was

Roosevelt forces insisted that all u
counties in the newly drawn district
should be taken in and they withdrew
