WORKING LOCAL ISSUES.

1t is indeed curious to see the ex-
tent to which merely local questions,
matters over which the National Coy
crnment has no possible jurisdiction or
concern, are entering into the present
Presidential campaign. President
Roosevelt has declared that he intends,
if he once gets back into the White
House, TO attend to such matters as the
hours of labor, wages for women, and
matters of that kind. over which the
Federal Government is not empowered
by the Constitution to take any action
whatever. And yet the Colonel would
doubtless insist on Congress passing
measures Of this kind which the Su-
preme Court would necessarily declare
to be unconstitutional, and then the
Colonel could fill the air again with
furious abuse of the court, just as be
did when the court declared his acci-
dent law unconstitutional when he In
duced Congress to pass it.
And now Governor Wilson gets into
the same rut by meddling in the
liquor election in Maine. On Septem-
Der 9th Maine will vote again on
the liquor question as well as hold its
general election; and Governor Wilson
comes out in favor of local option as
strengthener TO the Democratic CAM
paign in that State on the same line.
He comes out squarely and fatty for
local option, and undoubtedly his voice
will have considerable influence in
favor Of the Democratic position on
that question at the coming election.
Governor Wilson. however, deprecates
the idea Of making social and moral
questions political issues. He speaks
too late III this. however, because such
questions are already political issues in
most OF the States, and his declaration
in favor of local option squarcly com.
mits him, as political proposition, tr

have locked horns in contest for

Lords may finally have TO settle the
question of priority in discovery.

is called synthetic rubber. II can be

in the process for the consolidation
Of the claims and the enrichment of

thctic rubber and put il on the market
without quarrels and tedious and costly
litigation, time alone can tell; but that
is obviously the practical thing for
them to do.

SENATOR FALL DENIES.

As was quite to be expected, Sen
ator Fall of New Mexico denies all
connection with Orozco, the rebel Mex
lcan leader. He was directly charged
by President Madero with being the
one who caused the failure of the
peace negotiations between his Gov.
ernment and the rebel commander And
now Senator Fall shows that he has
had no communication whatever with
Orozco, and that the attempt which
he made to communicate with him was
on matter entirely different. from
the Mexican peace negotiation. But
the effort to communicate utterly
failed, and 80 Senator Fall is blameless
on every account.
1t would indeed be a serious matter
if United States Senator had so faI
interfered with the affairs Of Mexico
as to be the cause Of breaking off ne
gotiatlons for peace in that troubled
country; aud all Americans must be
glad TO receive the assurance of Sen
ator Fall that be is completely blame
less in this matter.
1t is now up to President Maderc
to explain where he got his wrong I'm
preston with respect to Senator Fall
and TO make the amende honorable
which is required among gentlemen 1T
such cases.

AMERICAN STEEL WORKERS.

The Bethlehem Steel Works in Penn
sylvania has a contract with the Gre
clan Government amounting to S3,OOO,-
600 for furnishing armor, guns, and
ammunition for ship which Greece
has ordered to be built. A German
firm is building the ship, and the
American firm will put on the armor
and supply the guns and ammunition
for it.
1t is wonder that the Bethlehem
firm, or the United States Steel Cor
poratou, or some other American Steel
firm. did not get the contract to build
the ship, for we have the contracts to
build such ships for the Argentine Re
public, and are taking steel contracts
away from all bidders in various parts
of the world. But it is significant that
the American armor, guns, and ammu'
milton are preferred by Greece, after
thorough test, even to the world-famed
Krupp works in Germany. Undoubted
ly the American firm got the contract
for the armor, the guns. and the am
munition. by offering to do better work
for less money; but if this is the case,
as no doubt it is, why could not the
Americans do the same thing for the
ship as for the armor and for the guns
and ammunition?
But as we say again, when Amer
leans can do things like this in COM
petition with the world, and can beat
the great Krupp firm of Germany IN
supplying armor for a ship, where Is
the commonsense in considering our
iron and steel manufacture an "Infant

ANOTHER FIND BY ACCIDENT.

We have seen a good deal about the
making Of artificial rubber, but here
tofore not exactly the process whereby
it is made. And now that a descrip.
tion of this process has come TO hand,
it appears that the making Of artificial
rubber was an accidental discovery
The facts are set forth in the August
number of Current Literature as fol-
lows:
Some months ago that noted British

The humiliation which individuals are
willing to put upon themselves iu the
Roosevelt interest. the degradation to
which they are willing to lower Amerl-
can citizenship, is fairly voiced in an
editorial in the San Francisco Call,
which reads as follows:

tion at Chicago are amusing or dstaSte-

OUR EMBARRASSING LANGUAGE

Once there was an American girl
who had been permitted to spend a
year in England just at a critical
point in her education.
She was not there long enough to
become really British-only long
enough to learn to mispronounce a
few American words, and to commit
homicide on a few bits of American
rhetoric. In spite of these things,
an American man fell in love with
her.
He proposed-she accepted. But
she was still a bit coy. When he
opened his arms and dashed forward
to taste the luscious fragrance of
her lips, she demurred.
"No, Billy" she said-"you can
not kiss me on the mouth-yet. But
you may kiss me on eyther cheek |"
Billy stared, but did not move.
"Why do you hesitate ?" she
blushed.
Pm trying to choose which
cheek" he answered.
And then she had to explain that
"eyther" not only meant "either'
but "each." 1t was awfully embar-
RAISING, but what could the poor girl
do? And it was her own fault.

GIRL is GIVEN HERO PRIZE
French seamstress Gave Part Of Her
Skin to Save Life Of
Child.

By a resolution of the municipal
council of Chomerac, in the Ar
ieches, southeastern France, one of
the hero prize of the Carnegie
foundation, amounting to a sum of
$500, is to be given to a provincial
midinette, who offered part Of her
skin to be grated in order to save
the life of a child. The child was
burnt accidentally and was taken to
the hospital, where, in spite of ev-
cry care, the wound, which was
very deep, refused to heal. The only
salvation seemed to be to graft some
healthy flesh on the burnt part. The
mother of the little girl offered at
once to sacrifice herself for the pur-
pose, but she had several other chill
dren, and a young seamstress, hear
ing Of it, offered herself. It might
endanger the mothers life, she said,
and there would be nobody to take
care of her other children. 81 am
alone, and it is better that l should
make the sacrifice" Her offer was
accepted, and as a very large part of
the skin had to be removed the oper-
alton brought on a high fever. Sub
sequently the heroic seamstress also
had an attack of typhoid, from
which she has not yet recovered.
The municipal councillors therefore
held a meeting and passed a resolu-
ton proposing her for the Carnegie
prize.
