The Masked Burglar.

Tho District police have an interesting

that she saw his face when his maskinR

enter the front door, and she believed she
could identify him. But Identification
after arrest is not of much assistance in
enabling the police to make the arrest it

Overzealousness.

Assuming all the burdens he could get
Zeb took a steamboat once. lie needed
travel and repose
The doctor said, Give all your cares
the slip
But he somehow got a notion, why OF
how nobody knows.
That he ought to help the captain run

He sat up all the night to watch for ice
bergs on the bow,
Though sailing where the latitude was
warm.
He thought the PROPOSES We're whales

And every cloud doomed up with threats
of storm.
He broke into the pilot house. They
had to throw him out.
A nervous wreck, he finished up the trir

To the way he helped the captain run

city very long before coming to grief. In
any case. the best thing that household
ers can do is to make sure of their door
and window fastenings at night, perhaps
wire up with electric alarms and maybe
provide some lively. efficient watchdogs.
There is little virtue in such situation
in the possession of a gun. for the bur-
glar is himself armed and on the alert
and has all the advantage of wakeful-
ness and observation and position. lie
may, of course. be only blufhng in his
threats to shoot. but al the same time he
may be in earnest, and resistance is more
likely to result in his favor than other
wise The fact that thus far he has
taken but little jewelry indicates that he
is chiefly after cash, and there is small
likelihood of his being traced by means OF
missing articles of value. This is simply
a case where the police must be keenly
on the alert and householders scrupulous-
~ careful about their defenses.

The Republican Party's Future.

There are three propositions which dem
ocrats. republicans and progress yes wonid
do well Ia bear in mind: a. The repub-
1ican party is not dead. - II Will re-
appear in good fighting form. ca NhLe
the time of that temperance Is prob
lematical, it may come soon.
Last months defeat. while severe. was
inflicted from within, 1t was not inflicted
by the democratic party. The democracy
simply proiited by republican dissensions.
Had Mr.. Taft received the support of all
those who. prior TO June last. had called
themselves republicans but then bolted
his denomination. he would have won.
hands down. Mr. Wilson did not poll a
vote equal to that cast for Mr.. BRYAN in
1905. The country did not rise to his can
ddacy.
Reunited then. the republican party
will again ne strong. What good reason
IS there for doIbting reunion? Regulars
and boilers alike favor sound money
They alike indorse protection as prin-
ciplc. They alike believe that America is
now a world power. with obligations to
support its new estate. They alike advo-
cate liberal appropriations for all meri-
toriOus purposes. and have a particularly
warm feeling for the navy.
How soon the old party may be cx-
pected to take the reinS again depends.
IF the democrats succeed with their task
the size of which they themselves do not
underestimate-theya are likely. under Mr.
Wilson's or somebody else's leadership, to
have their lease of power renewed. 1t is
always true-and as true now as ever
that nothing succeeds like success. If
they do not succeed; if through wran-
glings over the tariff and the trusts. or
the fiercer wranglings of ambitious men
for leadership. the democrats in turn di-
INCORPORATING their performances of 1894
and 1S36-then a change viii become in
evitable. and there will be the republicans
ready for business.
Names just now are not important When
. the hour strikes the man will appear
That is automatic. He may be one with
long service to his credit. He may be
new to fame. and product of the recent
commotion. Out of such occasions some
times spring surprises. The republican
candidate for President in 1916 may not
now be known to the general public-nay
not be in Office.
AS for Mr.. Taft, he disclaims further
ambition for office or leadership. He
Stlll 1eelS, however, Keen interest IN the
party which has honored him. and in the
ultimate fate of the policies for which he
has stood.
For this reason both he and his party
are to be congratulated on his decision
to return to Cincinnati Had he decided
on New York, he would have been swal-
lowed UP there, as others of political
fame have been repeating the fates of
Benjamin II. Bristow, John G.. Carlisle,
Thomas Il. Reed and David Is. Hender-
son. But n his old home he will continue
to enjoy distinction. and have opportunity
to make himself felt in party councils.
And stranger things have happened than
would be the rehabilitation of mis- own po-
liiicai fortunes

No Belated Inaugural.

The more the idea of d belated inau-
gural ceremonial is considered the less it
appeals to those who have had expert
ence with these quadrennial affairs in the
past. The separation of the popular, I'M
official features from the actual induction
of the President into office. because the
date on which the oath is administered is
Xix ely to be Indictment, would he similar
to a decision to postpone the observance
of Chris mas to a mild day in spring be
cause of the possibility Of catching cold
n making the round to deliver the
presents that have been provided 1t
would be like changing the celebration
Of Independence day from the 4th Of
July TO a cooler season Cn account of the
heat Of that historic date. The only rea-
son why the American people like To come
to Washington ON the ith of March, and
: do come here IN great numbers every four
years is that they are thereby personally
participating in the ceremony OF making
q new President. They are here i'll their
individual and representative capacities.
eager for glimpse of the new executive,
striving To hear his voice as lac delivers
his inaugural address anxious TO attend
tho rcception-ball at which lie makes his
new capacity. They come. perhaps. 10
march as members of organizations in
the parade that escorts him, the Prcsi-
dent OF an hours service, To his official
residence To begin his administration. To
wait six weeks after the oath has been
administered before greeting him thus
would be lacking in respect for the Of
flee that has heretofore caused multitudes
TO come in the face of heavy handicaps
OF distance. and with the possibility OF d
severe Storm To cause intense discomfort.
\ celebration on the last Thursday in
April, following the administration of the
oath in March. would be merely a party
rally. by TO means OF a national charac-
ter and lacking wholly in Significance.
There is little danger that the real iHau-
suTation ceremonial. OF the day on which
the President takes the oath. will be
supplanted by such belated affair. The
way TO secure a clement season for this
ceremonial is to change the date Of the
Inauguration itself.
