THE TAFT.RoosEvELT SMASH

(From the Register and Leader.)
I 1t will be an exceedingly difficult
matter to elect any man for a third
term to the presidency. no matter
how popular his programme, and
much harder if for, amy reason that
has not yet been fully
accepted by the men upon whom he
must rely. It will be little short OF
a miracle to elect the president on
the programme he has outlined for
hhms elf. The, party has little to- lose
i'm casting about for a new man, and
everything to gain in getting free
from the entanglements Of the Taft

Forgot His Pearls.

A Dublin magistrate has given
Judgment in the matter Of some pearls
which have been in the hands of the
Dublin police since 1905. These pearls
forty-seven in number and valued at
$500, were originally deposited with
a firm of Dublin jewelers. by man
who never returned to claim them, and
the firm handed them over to the po-
lice. The magistrate directed that II
the owner did not claim the pearls
within six months they should be sold
by the crown at the expiration OF that
time

SPECIAL WASHINGTON coRREs-
PONDENCE.
BY clyde n. Tavenner

President Taft has made an-
nouncement Of, his purpose to veto
any tariff bill; for which his tariff
board has not furnished data.
The theory upon which this gov.
eminent is built-a theory Mr.. Taft
himself commended in his denuncia-
ton OF the recall is that the leg,
;islative,, executive and Judicial
branches shall each exercise certain
well defined duties. The presidents
threat, therefore, amounts to coercion
OF the legislative branch Of the
government. What Is involved may
perhaps be better understood by sup
posing that the president should pub
licly% announce, while a. case was
pending before the Supreme court,
that unless a.certain decision were
made he would at once start i'm
peachment proceedings. In that
event there would be exactly the
same encroachment upon the judicial
as he now makes upon the legisla-
tive branch. 81 4

EUTHANASIk.

THE DECISION. From the French OF
Leon de Tinseau. Translated by
Frank Alvah Dearborn. Illustrations
by Joseph Cummings Chase and Caro-
line Peart., l2mo. pp. 24s. The G. w.
Dillingham; Company.
NJ de Tinseau contrasts In this story
the physicians and the layman's view
OF euthanasia, as the layman mis-
understands the word. In the case at
issue the difference Is also that be-
tween the devout believers and the
materialist's attitude toward life and
death. In the end II becomes a strug-
gle between conscience and love, with
the memory Of tho man killed out Of
pity for his agonies rising from It's
grave to create a strange complica-
tion. The author has been as clever In
his choice Of scene as in his invention
OF the plot. The Foreign Legion mas
been so much to the fore OF late in
the press, and even In international
politics, that a tale OF the DICTIONARIES
cannot fail to appeal to the readers
curiosity. It is Swiss sergeant of
the Legion, gentleman born and bred,
however hard he may try to hide the
fact, who, wounded in a skirmish with
desert nomads, implores his French
superior officer to give him the release
the regiments surgeon withholds from
him. It is his ghostly memory that
follows his benefactor to Paris, to Aus
tria and back to the French capital
again. fading from his tortured senses
only to assume the later and far more
tangible form which leads to the ques-
ton that the Countess de la Guerne-
RE must solve. The treatment Of the
story is light; there are no elaborate
psychological analyses or abstract
ethical speculations. The reader may
follow the suggestions given whittier
they may lead him. M. de Tinseau Is
intent chiefly upon the outward facts
he has invented.

Usher, finds IN the fact that he Is pre-
pairing to print twenty-five volumes OF
new verse a proof that poetry Is still
in favor with the American reader.
That depends upon how you look at
the list OF titles.
Lord Lyons.
Many Americans will be glad 10 know
that there Is to be a memoir OF Lord
Lyons, who was the British Minister
In Washington In a troublous time.
Those who have preserved letters from
the diplomatlst are requested to loan
them TO Lord Newton. who has been
commissioned to produce the memoir
by Lord Lyons's nephew. the Duke OF
Norfolk. Lyons was for many years
ambassador TO France. and Lord Duff
FERN used to humorously describe the
close attention paid to the embassy by
the Partisan police, who could collect
for their records only what was highly
creditable to the Englishman.

Paris, October 4.
NJ. Emile Faguet celebrates the two
hundredth anniversary OF Rousseau by
publishing three volumes about the au-

They are certainly more agreeable to
read and far more instructive than
anything 90 far produced. These vol
umes are entitled ''Vie de Rousseau"
Les Amies de Rousseau" and "Rous-
seau contre Moliere" In the first one
finds a concise picture Of Rousseau;
the second contains delightful sketches
Of those brilliant, witty and bewitch-
ing ladies, Mines. de Warens, Verdelin.
d'Epinay, Crequi. Bouffiers and De
Luxembourg, which. In their way, are
little masterpieces. In the third vol
ume the true reasons OF Rousseau's
violent onslaught upon the Nissan

TO this there is an admirable criticism
Of Moli.-e. These books will shortly
be followed by two others. entitled
