Lucky Thind,

1t has been found that medieval
armor is too small for Englishmen of
the present day. Luckily the women
of medieval times left no corsets to
be tried on by ladies of the present
age.

The Americans qualified but one

a repetition of the same thing in the

even a second place out of eight en-

1t must be understood, that all

THE PEOPLE WANT REPRESENTA-
TIVE NOT DELEGATED GOV
EMINENT.

While Colonel Roosevelt's "Confes-
sion of Faith" at the Chicago conyen-
ton discussed practically every evil
except the spread of the Jim Hill mus
tard in Latah county, it prescribed
but one specific-more power to Ted
dy. Colonel Roosevelt protests that
he wants this power for the good of
the people, saying: 'All | desire 10 do
by securing more direct control OF
the government agents and agencies Of
the people is to give the peopl., a
chance to make their representatives
really represent them, whenever the
government becomes misrepresenta-
tive instead of representative bet

while president he had sufficient pow
er to accomplish that which the peo-
pie desired, although when on any
point | differed from the people Il
mattered not whether | was righc or
whether | was wrong, my power van
ished"
There you have it, in his own words.
Whenever Teddy stood for what the
people wanted he had the power TO &C
complish his purpose. So far quite
good But when he differed from the
people he didn't have that power TOO
bad, And now, as 'progressives' the
people must give Theodore more pow
er not of course for his own sake,
but to make the government really
represent the people.
Read carefully, and again re read,
the warp in the texture of the colo
nels fanciful tapestry of governing Mt
is paternalism, not representative
government. Roosevelt distinctly calls
for the following commissions, to be
under his domination and through
which he seeks to govern the country
with his new nationaiism:" an in
dustrial labor commission, de art
ment of public health and sanitation. |
a stronger pure food bureau, power |
full country life commission, a federal /
trust commission, tariff |
commission, and a cost of living COM

to make regulations, to en-
force those regulations, and to pun
ish the violation of those regulations.
he mentions the need of
more easy amendment of the constitu-
ton where a court happens to decide
that his program is unconstitutional.
And no wonder. This government

st. Petersburg.-A contributor to
the Vechernaya Vremya describes one
of the meetings OF the friends OF
DEATH" suicide league which is said
to have large membership in ST.
Petersburg.
The meeting, which was held in a
house in the heart OF the city, began
early in the evening, in order not to
excite the attention OF the police, and
for the same reason the members ar
rived singly, many by the back en-.
trance The attendance included men
and women, young and old. Several
of the men were in uniform.
The large meeting room was thick
ly carpeted, and heavy curtains
masked the windows. Over the door
was the inscription, Cali hope aban-
don, we who enter here" On the door
two crossed scythes were shown on a
flaming red background.
Portraits Of Schopenhauer, Hart
man and other apostles Of pessimism
were hung on the walls; also large
picture portraying the legendary dis
pute between Life and Death. a. few
candles gave the only light by which
the proceedings were conducted. The
president and other committeeman sat
at q long table covered with black
cloth, on which was an urn in which
the suicidal lots were cast.
Three dull knocks from hammer
enveloped in black cloth intimated
that the meeting was open. The pres
ident began by expressing his sym
pathy with the member OF the league
q woman, who had recently attempted
suicide, but as yet without fatal re-
suit. He added the fervent hope that
she would meet the death she desired
BY way Of indorsing his words all pres
ent rose In silence.
Another member said that happily
the wound received by the woman
was dangerous, and there was no hope
OF her recovery.
The greater part of the subsequent
discussion turned on the question OF
devising original methods OF suicide
1t came out that nine OF the members
on whom the lot had fallen had previ.
ously sworn not to take their lives III
commonplace conditions.
Various suggestions were made, but
the one most favorably received was
that a considerable number Of the
members should commit suicide en-
masse, it being calculated that the
sensation thereby produced would at
tract any number OF recruits to the
league.
It was proposed that dinner be ar
ranged at a fashionable restaurant
and that the diners swallow cyanide
of potassium out OF champagne glass
es. Their funerals would be organ
lied with great pomp in order to at
feet the impressionable people.

This conclusion Is the result OF en-

Pratt of the department Of agricul,
ture and Prof. W. H. Lawrence, a To-.

The anthracnose pest has been
known to orchardists for years, and
formerly 1t was the custom to chop
down the trees that became infected.
The work OF the Investigators brought
the remedy several years ago, how
ever, and various infected orchards
were sprayed and cleared Of the an

ducers again. Apples, even from these
orchards, when subjected to cold stor-
