The Proof.

Quartermaster-G General Edwin. A. TaElorof the United Sons of Confederate, Veterans told story at Memorial day banquet in Memphis. "A southerner," he said, "sat in the lobby of New York hotel, discussing certain campaigns with norrherner. We'll the northerner ended with 0 laugh, we licked you, anyhow Yes, you did, the southerner admitted. but, by thunder. it's plain. from the size of your pension list, that before we gave in we crippled every blessed one of you r"

teution in many 8, moon." And 1t was, too. But the New Haven editor goes still farther. He says:
 "With clarion voice we desire to re- spond to this call to arms and to protest in the name of righteousness against the diabolical plot matched for the discom- fort and humiliation of our friend Rode meyer and the peepul he has always de- fended. The press of the state, with 8 unanimity it seldom displays, Republl- can, Democrat, Bull Moose, Socialist and Prohibition ist alike, endorsed these righteous candidates of Brother Rode meyer, and we consider it an insult to the press of this commonwealth, an in suit to our friend, that the speepul of Ca- naan did not harken to his plea to let the man seek all the offices"
 And that isn't all. The New Haven editor believes he has clue to the identity of "the master mind who en- gineered' the crime. "Oolonel Osborn knows, and we know" he declares, "and after gratuitous reproof to the q. c. for being so foolishly reckless as to risk getting "burnt playing with political fire" he points his finger at J. Henry Roraback and holds him with his glitter Ing eye while he rubs it in.
 "We have much to forgive MT Rora- back for," said Editor Troup, "but we can never pardon h I'm for this, He can not plead in defense that John is dem- ocrat, because. if we are not greatly mistaken, MT. Rodemeyer announced his willingness to run for all of these offices on any and all tickets. J. Henry could have put the matter through if he wanted to-"
 We must admit, however, that we are unable to see how. the indignant New Haven journalist hopes to strengthen the case of his client by asserting that Mr. Roraback "has engineered even worse nominations. However, the q. 0. will have the clue investigated, and if The Connecticut Western News fluids that J. Henry Roraback had hand in the work of dumping the candidate' fat into the fire, the things that will happen will make Senator Alsop's murderous bombshells look like confetti in compar. ison. We are free to admit that our suspicion of J. Henry's moral turpitude had been largely dispelled by Roosevelts forced confession that he, himself, blew up the Maine, and put the original ser pent into the Garden of Eden but this New Haven allegation is calculated to reawaken the slumbering doubts.

LIKE THOSE WE LOVE.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

We grow like those we love the best. This thought brings sweet content and rest i; And though they may be far away They hover near us night and day, Until we fancy they are near, And their loved accents we can hear. We feel their hands pressed in our own, And we recall the joys we've known, Till hearts are thrilled to beat anew, And life goes on more sweet, more true. The thought of this is truly blest, We grow like those we love the best.

st. Petersburg.-The mobilization OF
the armies OF Bulgaria. Servia and
Greece probably will mean immediate
war, according to the belief in politi-
cal circles here.
The nature OF Turkeys military ac-
tivity in the last few days Is taken to
mean that she intends to make war.
In that case the Balkan coalition nat
urally has forestalled her in her en-
deavor to profit by the rapid concen-
tration OF troops.
The opinion is held here that the ac-
tion OF the Balkan states has resulted
from the inability OF the powers to
deal with the situation.
Thfe conversations which the Rus
sian minister. NJ. Sazonoff. has had in
London. have been apparently barren.
1t is understood Russia has taken an
adequate view OF the crisis and has
proposed the radical remedy OF put
