McNab Not Blameless

Let's go the very limit in
criticising Mr.. McReynolds, to
the extent that he deserves
criticism-and then what of it?
That official before responding
to the request of Cabinet Min
lister Wilson, should have paused
in his work, hunted the files in
the Caminetti case, and
thoroughly familiarized himself
with the facts? Granted. What
of it? What more was evidenced
by the omission than a mistake,
naturally committed, because
committed in the hurry and
rush of Office routine?-what
more than a mistake that could
easily have been corrected had
the man at the other end of the
line, the federal district attor-
ney, but performed his manifest
duty?-what more than an error,
innocently prepetrated solely
under the impulse of guarding
the interests of an important
executive department of the
government? Nothing more.
This, and this only, constitutes
the beginning and the end-the
details and the total Of Mr..
McRenyolds' offending, and
when looking at the situation as
lit is reflected in truth and fact,
lit seems to us that some Of these
newspapers that have rushed
forward to sobbingly bemoan
the attorney-general's action,
ought to be ashamed Of them
selves. -Lynchburg News.

to indulge in any false rhetoric, one

ROOSEVELT TO REDUCE FAT
Strenuous Colonel Will Ride Horse

New York.-Ease and an Office chair

NIAGARA IS GRAND.
Nothing Can Mar Grandeur Of
This Natural Wonder.
Regardless Of Hotels and Refresh

Wonderful lmpassiveness and

Buffalo, N. Y.-Niagara has been

eloquent passage, land the enduring

mendous spectacle was peace" 9th

have brought away recollections far
from peaceful. The falls. they de-
clare, are spoiled, defiled, not only by
the catering for trippers and honey
mooners, but by the electric power
houses and factories which have
grown up around the gorge. Wheth-
er these severely utilitarian, but none
the less interesting, erections are a
detilement or not is debatable; one
thing is certain, Niagara can never
be spoiled" 1t is one of the two
supremely majestic natural wonders
of the world, one Of the few show
sights which must always justify their
reputation. Perch a cheap eating
house on the very brim OF the falls,
and the falls would remain magnifl-
cent. Probably the clearinghouse,
yelled in drifting spray, overhung by
frail rainbows and shaken by the
thunder of the cataract, would have
its banality turned into some strange
effect of subtle loneliness. Even If its
ugliness were unassailable, it could
not, by its presence, make the falls
ugly.
A short distance below the falls an
iron bridge leaps the gulf from Amer
lea to Canada. For myself, / happen
to think the bridge an object ex-
hibiting real beauty, in its curve and
In its pattern; but apart from such
personal prejudices, no one can deny
that the falls, weaving a tremendous
gauze of vapor athwart the rigid spi-
der's web of metal, do indeed beautify
it and throw round its arch glamour

major with an unfeeling brutality that

tense and irritable by the Internal

Assuredly, thought the major, he
did not like this DR.. Carey, who had
come from no one knew where. Dr.
Carey never volunteered any informa-
ton about his past life. His appoint

been due to civil service and pri-

undeniably handsome. He had an
air of refinement which the major ad-
mitted to himself jealousy, no one
else in the battalion could acquire. DR.
Carey had cut wide swath among
the bellies of Manila, and his evident
chagrin at having to depart therefrom
had been the one consolation the
other officers Of the mess had found
for coming to Ma1on.

went back to the day from which he
had ever since computed time-the
day he had met Rita, who later had
become his wife. Rita was a slender,
city.bred girl of the east with face

Her father was the descendant OF a
family which had acquired the found
alton of its permanent fortunes by re-
ceiying and vending the wares OF
smugglrs in Colonial days. He had
married a favorite cousin.

contests exciting nowadays. Publ
cation Of the standings in The Sun
day American showed how remark
ably well the boys and girls are
punched" There is not walk
away in any district.
Take District No. /, for instance,
where there are five with more than
lOO,0 600 votes. It is interesting to note
that the four leaders are girls. Be
tween Miss frankie J. Smith, at the
top, and George Rosser, fifth, are
only $1,000 votes, and between the
first and third there are but 1000
votes, while l 900 votes separate Miss
Smith and Miss Josephine Simrill
Clearly, any of these five may prove
the winner, and even the saddle pony
and the two watches are in doubt.
There is a little greater distance
between Miss Robert Harbour and
Miss Idele Shaw in District No. 2,
but only 5000 votes, at that In Dis
triCt No. Willetts Matthews and
Charles L. Stevens have $4,000 and
111,000 respectively.
Seven contestants in District No. 4
have more than 100,0 900 votes, with
10000 votes between Florence Gree
noe, at the top, and Eleanor Raoul
seventh.
Frank Gson. Jra in District No. 5
who made a phenomenal start, has
been passed by Richard Rainey
though there are but 1900 votes diff
ference between them. This shows
that no matter how great the advan-
tage there may be in a splendid start
IL can he overcome.
William Turner and Edward De-
LOaCh are 1900 votes apart in District
No. 6. Leaders in District No. Z are
tagging behind in the showing made
but ii is a pretty race just the same
with five contestants punched be-
tween 35. 900 and 10000 votes.
Nose BrOdkin. a city carrier. has
the largest number Of votes of any,
with 1884 ballots to his credit, but
he is clearly pursued by a half a
dozen other 'newsies"
Six Georgia school boys and girls
are running between $4,000 and $4,000
votes.
With all the races this close, the in
terest mounts higher daily, and it is
impossible to pick any candidate as
a certain winner.
