Note on a Friend.
On earth there's one
Good friend Of mine.
His constancy
Is true and fine.
He sticks
No bricks
Are thrown at me
At ALL but he
Gets sore,
And more,
He throws EN- back,
Ker smack
He never turns
His back on me
And never will.
'Tis plain to see.
We're pards.
Wh0l cards
Are stacked on us
We raise a fuss,
We're there
For fair
With this chum thing,
BY Jing!
Bad times and good
That we have met,
BY me he stood
Without regret.
| know
Him so
And he knows me
Like "A, b. G.
Hell never lay
Me on the shelf.
This friend of mine
Is just
Myself.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
The London Daily Mail Draws Vivid
Picture Of This IIIustrious Figure

Now, that all harsh criticism of
Theodore Roosevelt is stilled by the
bullet of would-be assassin, and
the heroic figure as symbolized by the
Rough Rider" and the Lion Hunt
er" lies helpless in a hospital, the fol-
lowing pen picture drawn of him by
the London Daily Mail, will be read
with interest:
Confronting him with the sharp
ness of gladiator in a Roman arena
stands Theodore Roosevelt. He is
who rouses the most passionate de-
testation and the deepest enthusiasm.
A leader by every instinct of his be-
ing, with an immense relish for a
rough and tumble fight; a campaigner
with endless resources of surprise
and entertainment; not a profound
or an original thinker or one who
quite gets to the heart of anything,
but a man of wide reading and al
most illimitable cowboy
and author, soldier and naturalist,
mighty hunter and an uncannily skill
full politician, equally in his element
whether he is writing a Life of Oliver
Cromwell or breaking in a broncho,
or comparing the relative size of Eu-
ropean and American animals, or rul-
ing nation of 90,000,000 people, or
reyeling in a bout on the wrestling
mat, with the foils. on the tennis
teen-fOot ring
He is an ordinary man extraordi-
narily developed. holding a just bal
ance between practicability and ideal
ism, knowing what makes life worth
while, knowing also what makes gov
eminent possible. He flashes to con-
illusions at a bound, and the bound is
sometimes a hasty one; he talks in
superlatives that often have to be
toned down afterwards; but in ac-
ton he is, as a rule, saved FROM
over-precipitancy by Ais solid back
growth of Dutch leyel-headedness
For consistency and appearance he
cares not a rap; vital and eXuberant,
he plunges toward his goal; when
there is work to be done the one
thought that possesses him is to do
it; and his headlong mind and some
what hectoring temperament and de-
monac energy will not stop to consid
er the fears, or objections or suscep-

CHAS. r. MURPHY

The Savannah News pays the fol-
lowing tribute to Chas. F. Murphy,
the Worlds and Mr.. Bryan's "bogy
man"
Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany
leader, may be as black as his enc
mics paint him, but his conduct this
year has not shown it. The treat
ment accorded him at the Baltimore
convention was of a character to
make almost any man resentful, yer
if Murphy cherishes any resentment
it has not been apparent. Before the
New York state convention there was
more said against Murphy than
against Dix, but there is no doubt he
could have had Dix nominated had
he insisted on it. Instead, he allowed
a man to be nominated who stands a
good chance of being elected and
whose nomination greatly strengthen
ed the national ticket in that state.
Under great provocation Murphy has
acted with conservatism and appar-
ent party loyalty and the chances for
both state and national tickets in
New York do not indicate any sulk-
ing on his part"
The New York World and Mr.. Bry-
an continue to lambast Mr.. Murphy
under the wild applause of the pro
gressive press" but if one assays to
criticize Mr.. Bryan it is regarded as
party disloyalty

TO all the people, It is difficult in
view of what we have done, to see
how VIC could make any effective pro-
test to Germany against precisely the
same sort OF action taken by the Ger
man government for exactly the same
relief, THAI We ourselves sought to OBJ
tain. lt is not TO be presumed, OF
course, that the German government
would be ignorant of the procedure
that our government took in our own
courts against the Standard Oil Com
pany; and if we should demonstrate to
Germany against what she is doing
about the Standard Oil. reply that
the German government was simply
following in our own footsteps and
doug precisely what we ourselves had
done with respect TO the STANDARD Oil
Company there would be nothing pos
siblc left for MS to say.

1T MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

The heavy campaign contributions
have been great cause of offense to
multitUdcs Of people. but, after all,
a partisan is pretty apt TO excuse a
big contribution that helps the cause
which he has at heart. Thus the Hous
ton Post, in a sort Of facetous way,
voices what is, undoubtedly, the real
opinion Of the majority OF politicians
and political workers, when it says:
We are amazed To learn that Thomas
+. Ryan gave $i50,o0o TO the campaign
fund Of 1904 II is the mos. pripCcly
Democratic campaign contribution we
ever heard Of. and il was noble OF MIR.
Ryan to give it. But we Still believe
large contributions from Republicans
arc outrageous and disgracefu.
That is the true business. II is
shocking for the Republican party to
receive great contributions, but ad-
mirabIe for these contributions 10 be
made in behalf OF Democracy, That
is the Democratic opinion. Precisely
the opposite opinion prevails on the
Republican side The Republican
workers admire and commend big cam.
paign contributions for Republican
party purposes. but condemn ss un-
patriotic and demoralizing big con.
tributions. such rs Ryan made for the
benefit OF the Democratic party. IT
depends altogether, as the old fable
says, upon whose OK = gorcd.

PUBLIC MARKET NEEDED,

We trust that our municipal commits

tabIishmcut of free city market, or
perhaps two such markets. The open

WOULD BE INCONSISTENT

Ia view Of the threatened action
of the German government against the
Standard Oil Company in favor Of u
German monopoly which would get its
supply Of oil from the Batoum oil
fields south OF The Black Sea. whose
production is controlled by Russian
monopoly, 1T is proposed IN some Of
the Eastern States that the United
States should make formal bjccton to
the reported hostile action of the Ger
man government 1t is quito usual for
our National administration TO inter
vcnc by way OF protest and diplomatic
correction where there hats been anv
attack made upon American commerce
or where there is interference with mar
keLs for our goods in foreign countries.
This, however, is possible only where
we ourselves, have not discrcdited the
very commerce or industry that is at
tackled.
But in The case Of the Standard Oil,
it is difficult to sec what this govern
mcut could urge upon Germany by
way of protest against German proceed
urc against the Standard Oh. for have
we not ourselves denounced the Stand
ard Oil as an offensive monopoly, and
ordered that 1T should be dissolved :
We have broken the general holding
company INTO pieces so far AS this coun-
try IS concerned; but, Of course, that
did not necessarily affect the foreign

USE FOR EX-PEESIDENTS.

Colonel Bryan urges as a good use
for former Presidents Of the United
States, that they should be given the
privilege of debate in both houses OF
Congress as they see it That is, they
should occupy in each house practically
tho same position that Delegates from
Territories have always occupied in the
House. This would seem to be a lower.
ing of tho dignity Of the Presidential
Office 10 about the minimum. and
it would be about rs poor use as
could be made of e1-Prosidents. Be
sides, the choking trouble in Congress
is too much debate already, and toe
little action.
But it is clear that tho experience
of former Presidents Of the United
country. 1T ought to bo valuable
asset to its public life. How can il
be obtained? The means aro not diff
cult TO suggest. \ likeness is found
in Japan for the position that former
Presidents might occupy here IN the

The experience and ability Of the

public; and by creating them into d

MOVEMENTS OF GOLD.

Curious reports come of the move.
mcnt of gold between London and In
dja \ shipment of sovcrcigus is about
10 arrive in LONDON from India valued
at Fl 100000. which is being sent by
the Indian government TO London oil
account of their being light in weight
India is extremely exact in tho matter
Of weight Of gold and silver coins. The
coin that passes ut its face value gen
orally IN commerce, will net pass in
India unless IL weighs up fully 10 the
standard, Consequently this big con.
India to London is sort of punish.
mcut to London for trying TO work off
lightweight coin upon the suSpectin9
and rcscntful East Indians. The ship.
mcnJ referred 10 is Il selection from
about 100000, 900 in sovcreions held in
India, The proportion, therefore, of
sovcrcigns found in India Of light
weight is about ono i'll ten. This is A
pretty bad average. Prominent Eng
lish authorities say that there viii be
sent back to India in return for these
sovereigus, fuIl-weight coin that will
balance the account.
The gold production Of the world the
present year is likely to exceed that OF
last. The 1911 gold production of the
Rand amounted TO G3i 99l $50. The
production Of the ten months that have
passed of the present year amounts to
tSa2, 2l2 ,6S3. Undoubtedly, the gold pro,
duction Of the Rand the present year
viii amount to considerably over E36..
100000, or in excess of ;SlS0,OO0, 900
This is strong lead for Il gain this
year over last in the total gold produc.
tion of the world, which will be sub.
stautial reinforcement to the gold re.
serves everywhere held.
