sCHUYLER'S HAPPY THOUGHT
How Revolutionary General Converted
Dutch Farmers to His Plan
for q Canal.

II 10 not known who first conceived
the magnificent idea Of connecting by

navigation Of the Mohawk by means
Of swall canals and locks had been
tried years before De Witt Clinton
built the Erie canal. The purpose.
which was to connect Lake Ontario
through the Mohawk with the Hudson,
met with a formidable obstacle at
Little Falls, where the river descend

rapids.
General Philip Schuyler OF Revolu.

locks to overcome this descent OF the
river. Knowing that the success Of
the project would depend upon the ia

Dutchmen loved and honored Schuy.

Dutch family. They were delighted
with the prospect of the commerce OF

they could not comprehend how boats

went into the tavern yard. Digging a
miniature canal of two different lev.

shingles. Then he summoned the
Dutchmen, who came grumbling at
being aroused from their slumbers.
Pouring water from a pail into the
little canal, he locked a chip through

IL
These be good times TO keep up a
speaking acquaintance with your
newspaper Never before in the
swirl of this old world of ours has
political history been so frought
with uncertainty as the present.
Eight years ago our Democratic
brethren were forced to take down
their trusty lanterns and go peering
into the dark corners and into un.
canpy places for a candidate for
President. Mr.. Parker was discov

Doctors Take Treatment

Among these three is one partic-

treatment a few other physicians
come to his office to avail Of, but
who scrupulously refrain from rec
ommending the treat ment to their
own patients.
OF course. a physician that can
do what other physicians can not
do means loss of revenue to the
other physicians
No one, however would like to
suppose that a homeopathic for
the sake of the fee would rather

Let the Popular Will

T nearly every state in which the Republican par

received majority Of the votes at those prima-
ries and majority of the delegates from those states
In every case where the Republican party, there

nomination of the Republican candidate to Them the
people have rejected Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Taft's poll
cies. and have expressed their preference for Mr.
Roosevelt and for the progressive policies which he
promises to represent.
In view of this very definite expression of popu
ar opinion Mr. Taft should retire from the contest
ton of Mr. Roosevelt at Chicago without dissent
dissension.
y If Mr.. Taft should not be willing 70 retire, the
delegates assembled at Chicago should. regardless Of

Mr. Taft will go before the Chicago convention

To repudiate this clearly expressed preference

TINE following question has re-
Gently intruded itself three
times upon my attention: Do
physicians exist for the purpose of
curing the sick or for the purpose
Of maintaining the doctrine of the
particular medical school to which
they have attached themselves?
In order to indicate that this
question does not proceed from
any malice toward the profession
il might have been broadened out
to include also some members, at
least. Of the school of theology, and
then the inquiry would have been;
Do theologians exist for the sake
Of saving souls or for the purpose
of maintaining and perpetuating
the distinctive tenets of their own
theological school?

sion. for | have recently had the
pleasure of being approached by
three regularly graduated physi-
clans, belonging to different
schools but each Of them had ar

It's Brutal for State to
Slaughter a Human.

Without reasserting in this ar
ticle our claim that for govern
ment deliberately and cold blood
eddy to slaughter human being
is brutal. there still remains the
question whether even brutal
act may not be so performed as
to show a tinge of respect for the
humanness of the victim.
Paint as black picture as we
pleased of the monstrosity of Rich
eson's act. he was still man
and not dog. and as such de-
served even in his dying. a treat
ment as considerate at any rats
as would by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
be accorded TO any one Of the
stray cats that wander homeless
about the city. not one of whom is
tied up and pounded to death by
blows of mallet or repeated
shocks of electricity
1t would seem as though if We
study to make the death or
worthless little Quadruped as
painless as possible by admins
tering to it sleeping potion that
shall free from all horrors it's
passage out Of life. we can hardly
be human and not influence our
treatment of a human creature by
like consideration of mercy.
1t is going an awfullv long way
even to kin criminal, but even
though a criminal he has not
forfeited all his rights and among
them the right to be launched into
enternity without needless distress
of mind or body
If Richeson was to be executed.
why could not the deed be done
without delay as he requested, that
he might be saved the unspeak-
able agony of suspense?
If he was to die, why could he
nor have been spared the torture
of those four suspicious spying
eyes of the death watch and be al
lowed to die .bv his own hand if he
preferred it?
What have public morals gained
by having had the beating of his
heart STAYED by act Of the state
rather than by his own act?
