 ful lot to convince me. l doubt it sometimes and that makes me blue. was blue the other night when couldn't come because of your head ache. didn't know what to do with myself to fill up the time. So I went to the theater."
 eYou didl" exclaimed the young woman in a startled tone.-- How how nioe!"
 'Yes, I enjoyed it." declared the young man. Not only the play. but the spectacle itself. It always inter ests me to see a lot of people. I like to study them.'
 "Goodness!" said the young woman, biting her lip. T didn't know you were such a-a philosopher"
 The young man looked solemnly at her. 'fYes," he admitted T think I'm something of a philosopher in more ways than one. But it was good show"
 I'm glad" she murmured un- easily, that you finally had a pleasant evening in spite of mel"
 "At first" he told her, T couldn't really enjoy myself for thinking of you suffering at home. But later it was all right"
 'L-l-later2" she repeated, faintly.
 'Yes," said the young man, T stop ped worrying about you just as soon as I happened to see you sitting two rows in front of me with that new chap with the automobile that all the girls are going crazy about. After that 1 was able to turn my entire at- tention to the play in peace"
 T suppose you're awfully mad al me, Charlie"
 No, I'm not mad,',, said the young man, getting up. You forget that Pm philosopher. No, 1 can't stay just wanted to reasssure myself thai your headache is gone. Good night!'

 You can explain the next time I come!" kindly said the young man 'Tll give you lots of time to think III a good explanation" !"-Chicago News

THE REPUBLICAN THIEVES.

The game of politics within repub- Mean lines has been openly played and the record has been made and is open for the consideration of every rational voter.
 MT. Roosevelt says he has been rob bed, when the facts are that at no time in the convention did the pro- gressives have a majority vote, even had they acted solidly.
 When it comes to honesty in this openly played game, President Taft bore himself in a dignif1ed way and his campaign was regularly conduct ed; but Colonel Roosevelt, with his hat in the ring, invoking preferential primaries wherever he could, with his usual bluff and bluster, with the help of McHarg and his lieutenants, creat- ed 23S contests, 160 of which were rec ognized as worthless by the entire national committee and were aband- oned, while the remaining contests were all patiently heard, and in every case two-thirds of the committee con- cured in the decision. This looks like fair play.
 When the candidates came to the floor of the convention. Taft had a little over 400 instructed delegates: | and Roosevelt claimed he had over 400-the balance of power was repre- sented by a little over 200, and these were subject to the political pressure and solicitation of both sides, but on the first ballot Taft had majority and was declared to be the republican nominee
 Now, who robbed Colonel Roose- welt? It was not the national repub- lican committee, for his supporters were voting with the majority in the | decisions. It must have been the six hundred delegates who were not pledged to Taft. But a majority of these were for the Colonel
 Eleven Roosevelt members of the committee say two-thirds of the mem bers were dishonored, and two of these protesting committeeman were not at the meetings, and not having heard the evidence are disqualified to judge, so that of the republican committed say Roosevelt was not treated honestly 1 against 42 reputable men who say he was.
 MT. McHarg, who arranged the Roosevelt contests, is for Taft. He says there was not enough merit in them to justify any loyal republican in deserting his party to join the bull moose.
 And Senator Root, who Roosevelt claimed as a witness to the alleged peradious acts of the committee. told President Taft in notifying him of his nomination, that his title to the nom ination for president was as clear and unimpeachable as that of any presi- dent within the history of such con- ventions.'
 It seems to The Bulletin MT. Roose- welt is the twister and distorter ot facts, and that this should be evident to all rational citizens.

RAeWEED IS RIPE.

Ragweed is ripe and hay fever is due and it's victims are sneezing and the papers commenting as usual at this time of year.
 The Hartford Post, commenting up- on it says:
 There is one exceedingly popular thing about this disease. It is sug- gested by Dr. William Lloyd, a Brit ish medical authority. He states that he has never seen true case of hay fever among the working classes
 Another authority says that the sufferers are almost all persons of intellectual ability, and that all of them may fairly be called "neurotics."'
 The average man will feel that there is little attractiveness in being a highbrow' if you are thereby made subject to such distressing afiictions"
 The editor then proceeds to say 'the disease Is not imaginary, as nothing can be more real" which is true.
 For many years the afilction was attributed to the flying pollen of the goldenrod; and now 1t is attributed to the equally fine. abundant and irritat- ing pollen of the ragweed. which Is allowed to grow and seed in every backyard and vacant lot of all New England cities.
 There may still be entertained some doubt as to the cause of it. A story is told of a patient who applied to a physician in one of our coast cities who had the trouble. He was prompt ly told that the only hope of relief for him was to go to sea.
 That's just where got it." replied the patient. T have just got in from sea"
 This would indicate that the author tiles are all at sea in their ideas of the cause of the trouble; but it would be well to test out the theory of de- stroying the ragweed before its pollen ripens and is given to the winds.
 Anyone who has had real ragweed cold in the head has no doubt as to the distressing character of the dis ease.

EVIDENCE OF TAFT's HONESTY


 It is no secret that duPont and Per- kins and other trust magnates are supporting the bull moose party: and Roosevelt when challenged, did not deny that they were financing his campaign. Roosevelt has always en- joyed the confidence and support of the trusts.
 Here Is little political history from a reliable source:
 When Hitchcock was managing the Roosevelt campaign, he not only ac- cepted campaign contributions from the trusts but also solicited them. Roosevelt himself sent for the late E. H. Hartman and told him to raise big fund in Wall street. Hartman did so. Four years later Hitchcock was the campaign manager for MT. Taft. In recent testimony Hitchcock said that Senator duPont offered Taft S20, 900 for his campaign fund. but that Taft refused it. Mir. Taft's ex- planation was that he expected to prosecute the Powder trust and there fore he could not accept it's money. This same attitude he assumed toward all the other big trusts which had furnished Roosevelt with his financial backing and which offered to help Taft"
 The defeat of Taft would be ofleered by the trusts who are booked for greater freedom than ever Roose- welt is not shouting down with the trusts, but down with the political bosses! Another reign of Roosevelt would certainly be. as he himself de- clared, "a calamity to the country"

IDEAS OF APLAIN MAN
EVOLUTION.
By pr. Frank Crane.


 We are inclined to regard evolution as an affair that is over. Man. the supreme product, having been pro- duced, the mill of evolution was closed, we are apt to suppose, and the work er-forces paid off and discharged.
 But, as matter of fact, evolution has just fairly got started. All the evolving through the various animal types up to man was but prelude to the real and important business of destiny, which is the evolution of the human spirit.
 That is now going on. Every gen. eration. in it's complex moral strivings is helping to bring the moral excel lence which is to be.
 Righteousness, worldwide, is 2 growth as surely as a short-horn COW | is a growth, and brought to pass by very similar laws of selection anc survival of the fittest.
 Nature does not care hoot abou | this or that creed, organization or in. stitution; she has the race in mind.
 She is making her coming man al Burbank makes his edible cactus, b, | infinite selections.
 The process seems prodigiously wasteful, but seems so to us only because we are the plants and no tho gardener.
 Nopleness, true love. purity ana greatness of soul are growing through the years, through the long centuries

"A JUDGES INTERPRETATION OF
 LAW.

A paWnbroker was arrested in Mis- souri not long ago for carrying con- cealed weapons and no denial was made of the truth of the complaint; but when he was brought before the court the justice of the peace dis charged him, saying in defense of his action: This law was never meant to keep reputable citizens from car rying arms. It was intended only to keep pistols out of the pockets of criminals"
 The justice had the community classified in his mind ss good and bad, and entertained no thought that good law should bear equally upon every man. He had not conceived of the fact that every citizen must be considered straight until he has been proven to be crooked; or that under such a ruling as this the law was really being annulled. Then, every crook is not a dangerous citizen, and he may just as naturally fear being assaulted as a more morally correct man, and is as entitled to the right to defend himself.
 In criticising this new interpreta- tion of a law well established. the Kansas City Journal says:
 Why pawnbroker should be per mitted to carry a revolver when a physician or a lawyer or a mechanic cannot do so would be hard to ex- plain. If this interpretation of the law were held to be correct, any crook could carry a revolver and not be accountable until 1t is proved that he is a crook. In other words. the burden of proof is transferred from the criminal known to be such to the state. Heretofore the possession of a revolver has been sufficient to fix the crime, Under this new ruling the crook could claim exemption on the ground that he has not yet committed murder and will not be amenable to the law until after he has killed his victim and been convicted in court. ''
 One trouble with the minor courts of this country is that we have some men presiding over them incapable of interpreting Mother Gooses melodies, to say nothing of statutory law.

Worm Eats Steel Rails.

This terrible insect, after hibernat- ing on the shelf of some newspaper editors repository of Munchausen tales for 22 years, has been brought forth to the light and has resumed his career of destruction" says the En gineering News. Evidently he is as long-lived as the newspaper jokes, and like them, reappears every once in so often to test the gulibiltty of a new generation of readers. Accord ing to a special cable despatch to New York and Chicago newspapers, Italian engineers are given the honor of discovering in steel rails number less worm shaped creatures, a dirty gray in color and about one-third of an inch long. This description eorre- spends very closely with a similar newspaper story of a discovery some twenty odd years ago by German en- gineers. The veracious chronicler at that time declared: There Is no ex- aggeration in the assertion that this creature is one of the most voracious, for it has devoured S6 Kilograms of rails in fortnight After a 22 years fast it has still more alarming ap- petite

PROGRESSIVE POLITICS.

The bull moose convention at New Haven made a progressive movement when they passed the following reso- lutlon:
 We demand that the Consolidated road recall from the position of chair man of the republican state committee Henry J. Roraback. its chief lobby ist."
 This assault upon a private corpor- - ation and a private citizen surprised the best portion of the delegates. who. by the way appeared to be in the minority; and President Luther im- mediately opposed it with the follow ing words:
 T was mighty sorry to see that res- olution adopted, as it is beneath the dignity of this convention to attack any one by name. It is tactical mis- take. We have adopted resolutions calling upon a misnamed corporation with which we have nothing to do. to recall a misnamed gentleman from a position with which we have nothing 10 do. I don't believe in lobbyists. but know that his profession would quickly disappear if he didn't find material to work with.
 Who are these gentlemen who neet protection at the legislature? Who ar, these people who need policeman on either side of them to see that they vote right? Who are these people who need detachment of state mil. itiamen to escort them to their hotel Send the right kind of men to the leg. islature and you won't have any lob byists. They won't have any work tt do"
 The resolution was subsequently, re s-inded and expunged but it indicates the thoughtlessness and weak concep tions of decency of the majority of tn, delegates present who did not seem t know such action was scandalous ant indefensible.

q thought I'd drop in as was go- ing by, said the young man, "and see how you are.'

 That's good" said the young man, I'm glad you've got over your head ache. A headache seems a simple thing, but one never can tell of what 1t is the forerunner.

 Nothing that could happen to you would be slight in my eyes," the young man told her feryently. And 1t came on so suddenly. It rather up- set me, because I had declined din ner invitation to come over here and it was too late to withdraw my re- fusal."

HERoIsM.
By pr. Frank Crane.


 Heroism is tho salt that keeps fu- manity from rotting.
 When we take an inventory of the qualities and passions of the crowd we are likely to find a discouraging state of things. Those who despise the human race are not without their reasons.
 What a welter of selfishness in the business world, what treacheries and cruelues, often what utter heartless- ness and brute seizures!
 In the relations between men and women what a world of sickening facts
 In family life what jars and petti- ness, what frequent degradation of what should be the most ideal of hu- man relationships
 In the history of religion what a shameful list of perversions; head strongness, vanity, intolerance, perse- cution, superstition and even wolfish passions!
 But all these are salted and cured altered and antidoted, by one thing heToism.
 Not the spectacular kind that makes the commons gape: but the unknown unseen kind done for itself alone, foI the eye of God and the satisfaction oi a noble self-respect. Think of the unnoted and unnum- bered acts of heroism on the part oi mothersl These alone would save tho world, as ten good men would have saved Sodom.
 Look (and if you seek, you shal fnd), at the numberless deeds of self sacrifice among the poor, the self-re- nunciations of the rich. the helpful ness of fellow worI0men. the splendiC courage of men and women that the! often conceal with a sense of shame True, friend pessimist, humanit! may be just mud, dirt, earth; but al through it sparkles the pure and price l less gold of heroism.
