HE REFUSES.
Fessenden Hears Why His Good Friend
 is Out of Society.

Were going to have a little social gathering at our house this evening. Rumberlow," said Fesenden, and 1 want you to come over and quit being a hermit Most of the neighbOrs vii be there. and they'd al be glad to see you.
 Well. if their happiness depends upon seeing me" growled Rumbelow, their gloom won't be relieved. There's some low down scheme back of this in vitation. If l ment there you'd want me to stand in the nall and let the guests hang their hats and oVercoats on me, or something like that. No body ever invites me to anything un- less a goat is needed.
 "The day before Christmas Traph- agen came over and said he had fixed up a grand jamboree for the children of the neighborhood and he insisted that I should have q part in the fes- tivities. So l went over, although l felt sure that there was some game back of it.
 Well I got to Traphagen's and all the kids in the neighborhood were there and he took me into the hall and explained a little surprise he had y
 
 It was an original scheme, he said, and he was proud of it The lVeryman at the foot of the street had rigged up sleigh like the one Santa Claus is sup posed to usc and he had also deCOrat- ed a pair of mules to look like reindeec, with antlers on their heads. Every body on the street would light up the front of their houses a certain hour and then Santa Claus would come driv- ing down the street in his sled, and the children would see the spectacle of their lives The only thing that troub- led Traphagen was that he hadn't been able to draft anybody for te part of would take the role. as my love for children was well known and J was celebrated as a public spirited man. After all the experiences l have had with Trarhagen l had no better sense than to allow him to work me. We went to the livery stable, where l re tired into a box stall and Traphagen and the liveryman padded me with pillows and bales of hay and such things. and glued lot of white whisk- CTS on my face until l looked and felt 1 like a polar bear Then they hitched up the mules to the sleigh.
 The minute I saw those mules my 1 feet got cold. for they didn't like their disguise any better than I liked mine They were trying to shake the antlers off their heads and they were switching

Was his administration less fettered by obligations to the steel trust. to the Morgan interests and, for time, to that practical man." MT. Harri- man than the administration of MT Taft is today to any interest? With what trust. with what sinister in terest has the name of MT. Taft ever been scandalously connected? Has not the name of MT Roosevelt been frequently scandaIously joined with predatory wealth. against which he inveighs so nightly?
 There is another thing in the dec laration that is both amazing and amusing. the return to the enforce ment of the principles of government as taught and practiced by THOMAS JEFFERSON and ABRAHAM LIN COLIN" But we forget; this move ment is to be "on nOnseCtional lines" A sop must be thrown alike to demo crats and republicans Would not the appeal to the democrats have been stronger if the name of Andrew Jack son had been included? And would it not have been stronger to the South if the name of Jefferson Davis had been brought in The juxtaposi- tion of all these names would not have been more inconsistent
 But the declaration is in one re- speCt consistent It is characteristic cally Rooseveltian and meaningless.

their tails in a peevish way as though they would kick things to pieces for two cents. I wanted to crawfish. but Traphagen and the livery pirate just me the lines. The mules were off like shot. and l went calIyhooting down the street.
 'The street was illuminated and ev- erybody was out on the front porches, and I ought to have enjoyed myself, but 1 didn t. Those mules were getting madder and madJer every minute Pretty soon they began kicking and pieces of wood and iron flew back and hit me in the face and I was padded to such size that 1 couldn't get out of the sleigh. Then the mules shot down a side street to the river. and the ice broke and we all went in
 That water was so cold that the Arctic ocean is a Turkish bath com pared with it and I floated around there like cork. yelling for assistance couldn't crawl out. I was so big, and was afraid that I'1 turn over end for end any minute and swallow several pdTTelS "I IHdl nelled ice InaiiA Bigelow and Zediker and the fest of them came down. and instead of help ing me cut they stood around haw- having and doubled up with laguh- ter.
 Next morning when I met Trapha- gen l expected an apology, but he had the nerve to tell me that the Hveryman would hold me responsible for the dam age to his mules and sleigh. So after that I don't want any more of your so Cial gatherings"

Our Only Concern.

The Republican has no special in terest in raising the question, and frequently adverting to it, whether Messrs. Wood, Bradner and Saxon may retain their places in the legis- lature after having been appointed to positions of trust and profit, not enumerated in the list of those that member of the legislature may hold without disqualification
 These are all capable and compan- ionable gentlemen We would raise no objection to their holding a dozen or more offices each, if that could be done without complaint from other democrats of an unequal distribution of pie, a matter in which we can have no interest, seeing that it is not our pie.
 Our concern is that unless the mat ter is settled, and settled right. it will some time rise to plague us in the share of a questioning of legisla- ton in the enactment of which these gentlemen may participate.
 They were appointed to thhe posi- tions they now hold. we understand on an opinion of the attorney general that these positions were not offices but jobs. and that the occupants of them are not officers, but employees
 Before proceeding we may observe that the appointing power, as we'll as the attorney general. even that far back. must have had a sneaking mo- tion that there would be no election of legislators next fau for in such case the status of the gentlemen would have been immateriaI, except in the improbable event that another special session of the legislature would he held
 But, returning to the main subject, the opinion of the attorney general regarding jobs and offices does not quite agree with earlier opiniQns on the same subject. The following is a general definition of a public officer taken from a long line of cases 'It may be stated as a general rule from the cases in question that position is a public office when it is created by law, with duties cast upon the in- cumbent which involve the exercise of some portion of the sovereign power and in the performance of which the public is concerned and which also are continuing in their na- ture and not occasional or fntermit- tent
 Judge Cooley. in People V. Langdon, 40 Mich, 673. laid down the following rule: "The officer is distinguished from the employe in the greater inn portance, dignity and independence of his position. in being required to take an official oath. and. perhaps, to give l an official bond; in the liability to be called to account as a public of fender for misfeasanCe or non | feasance in office, and usually. | though not necessarily in the tenure of his position
 This definition seems fully to cover the cases of the three officers in question

Says the Douglas Dispatch: At d meeting at Tucson the other night the sentiment was practically unani nous in favor of breaking away from the old party" Before we would at tach any significance to the Tucson assemblage, We would want to know something of the size and character of the membership. If the meeting consisted of our old and time tried friends, as it probably did, G. Q. Hil- ginger. P F. Howell, Ben Daniels and s. R. DeLong, the sentiment should have been practically unanl l. nous. We happen to know that there is as little Roosevelt sentiment III Tucson as in any other section of the state.
