season, Republicans do the same
thing.

quest by applicants for the indorse-

Why seek the aid of the politically

What better credentials for such

by residents of the community?
ones own peoples support and ones
own fitness for the Office are the best
resources Of an applicant, and without
these no one is entitled to considera-

cARNEGIEs NEW SCHEME.

There is a grim Scotch joke in the
Carnegie fund for the pensioning oil
ex-presidents, and he intends 1t TO DC
on all of us, as people, says the
st. Louis Democrat. In the
conditions to govern the pensioning OF
ex-presidents, and their unmarried
widows, to the amount of $4,000 an
nually, it is stipulated that the fund
shall continue, and the pensions be
paid, only until such time as the gov
ernment makes a similar provision,
or a more liberal one. This is the
only thing which saves the plan from
denunciation as a piece of supreme
impudence. Mr.. Carnegie would be
pushing his philanthropy entirely too
far but for this saving clause. AS the
case stands, We can only make our
selves ridiculous by heated protests
of our ability to take care of our own.
When we say that Mr. Carnegie can
answer with the three short words:
do it now" supplemented with the
assurance that he will take care of
them until we are able to do so.
A question remains, of course,
whether, after paying a man 100000
for four years service, and perquisites
enabling him to maintain respecta-
BILE state without greater drafts upon
his salary than he might well make
in private life, we are under obliga
tion to pension him for the rest of
his life, and his family after his death,
at figure commensurate with the
maintaining of large establishment.
Pensioning an ex-president If the JUS
,f n agfS h1I
granted, need not mean pensioning
them at a figure sufficient to main
tain opulence. Such pensioning would
not accord with American ideas and
ideals. 1t smacks too much of the
huge appropriations made annually
by the Parliament at London for the
support of the members of the royal
family, parasites on the body of or
ganized society. We should do moth
ing which can be taken to be a step
toward the recognition of caste in
this country.
Mr.. Carnegie. plainly enough, is
willing to take such a step. 1t is clear
that he has aimed to fix the mini
mum at which the government shall
fix the pensions of ex-presdents, and
their widows, for he sets out, i'm un-
mlstakable words, that he makes the
pension large in order to enable the
recipients to live without work. We,
the people of the United States, will
have to see about that First, we
shall have to consider whether we
owe anything more to man we have
paid so handsomely as to have en-
abled him to provide for the future.
After that, if we think a continuing
pension should be added to large tenn
pOrary wages, we are likely to be |
careful not to put it at figure more
than enough to maintain a gentleman
and his family in comfort. Pension /
ing people to live i'm idle splendor, as
they do such things In Great Brit
ain, is not a part of the American
genius. If after we have acted,
either In failing to pension, or in
pensioning lower than Mr. Carnegies
notions of such things he should con-
tinue willing to pay eX-presidents or
their widows, $25, 900 a year, he will
have turned his joke upon himself,
particularly il none of the men he
offers pension should accept it when
offered.

Familiarity of the people of this

AS means to this end The Observer

To stimulate the competition sew

From all portions of Oregon objec-
ton is made regarding the probable
hanging of five condemned murderers
at the state penitentiary on Friday,
December 13, as announced by Gov
ernor West The Governor has made
this decision following the rejection
of the bill at the recent election, pro-
posing the abolishment of capital
punishment in this state, and some of
the loudest hows against the proposed
proceedings come from those who
worked and voted to defeat the bill.
The Observer cannot see wherein they
are justified in their present position.
The people said they wanted legal
murders continued and what differ
ence does it make whether one man
or dozen men are killed on the
same day? They have all been con-
demned to death by the courts and
why prolong the agony?

OF BAVARIA PAYS HOMAGE TO
ITS "MAD KING" ON HIS 65TH BIRTHDAY

Otto's insanity first manifested it.
when the Prince, then only twenty
two years of age, held a commission
in the German army. His actions
were so peculiar and unreasonable
that it was considered best to call
the young Prince to staff headquarters,
decorate him for his services and
send him back home under escort. In
the hope that his condition would i'm
prove, he was sent to the castle at
Fuerstenreid, where he was kept UNI
der strict surveillance and careful OBJ
servation.
But the poor madman's condition did
not improve. His disease progressed
and developed through its various
stages and when Otto succeeded to
the throne he was SO far advanced
in his disease that the learned special
lists pronounced it as incurable. Since
he was first taken to castle Fuer-
steinreid, Otto has never left the en-
closures of the beautiful estate ex-
cept for occasional drives during the
first few years of his confinement.
AS the disease progressed and the
paroxysms of violence to which the
kingwas subject became more fire.
quent and less controllable, these
drives had to be abandoned, as it was
considered undesirable to allow the
people to witness such violent out
breaks.
Surrounded by faithful attendants
and treated with all the Difference due
to his exalted rank, watched by doc
tors and humored in every possible
way, the insane monarch spends his
days at the secluded castle. From
year to year his mental condition
grew worse, while his physical condi-
ton, thanks to the excellent care of
his physicians and attendants, steadi-
ly improved. Mentally a complete i'm
beetle, unable to recognize even his
nearest relations, he has grown, phys
ically, to a fine speciman of manhood.
He is a giant in figure, possessed OF
tremendous strength and, in spite OF
his abnormal way of living, perfectly
healthy. His condition varies from
periods of utter Indifference or spells
of great detection to paroxysms of un-
comfortable fury, extremely trying to
his attendants, as they are not per-
mitted even for a moment to forget
| that under no condition force may be
used against the king. The king has
killed several of his attendants in his
fits of fury, but it is believed that in
the last stage of the disease which
Otto seems now to have reached, these
attacks will gradually cease.
