WHAT NOT TO PRINT"

The editor of the News Miner in
the issue of Oct 9th. under the
title What not to print" actually
printed something that for his own
good should never have been print
i. The whole article is rambling,
superfluous and frivolous. 1t is bu'
the evidence OF either an unframed
or diseased mind. and inasmuch as
the editorial pages of Nspapers
are suppos L to furnish intellectual
food for the public, the man who
offers a diseased mental product for
sale should be punished as severely
As this editor in his article insists

meat .or sale

latter the body, and they are equi
deleterious in effect.

PRESIDENTIAL INTERFERENCE

President Wilson appears to be of
such an active mind that it is impos-
sible for him to keep out of political
activities that are usually and bene-
ficially neglected by the incumbent of
the Presidential office. Thus, it is not
important for the President OF the
United States TO interfere in the cleo
tion of Senator of tho United States
from Alabama, or from any other
Southern State, for these States are
certain to send Democrats anyhow, and
any interference is merely interference
between persons. and is liable to give
both political and personal offense,
But President Wilson, in his benign
and embracing activities, has under
taken to persuade Representative Clay
pire to the U. 8. Senate. The Senate
is not likely to admit Clayton on his
appointment by the Governor, and
therefore the interference by the Presi-
dent is so much tho less justified But
he writes TO Representative Clayton,
hoping that he will not seek to be Sen
ator, but will stay in the House of
Representatives, in view Of important
trust legislation which is to be on the
calendar of the House next winter
But Representative Underwood is
also member of the House, and is
even more prominent in the House than
is Representative Clayton. There is no
reason why Representative Clayton s
presence in the House should be de-
sired above the presence of Representa-
tive Underwood,
Then. again, there is Representative
Hobson from Alabama. who is also a
candidate for the vacant Scnatorship
from that State. Why should Presl-
dent Wilson neglect to write letters to
Representative Underwood and to Rep.
resentative Hobson. hoping that they
will stay in the House7 Does he con
slider them Of inferior caliber to Rep.
reseutative Clayton9 If not, why should
he write TO one and not TO the other
two?
Under ordinary political rules, Presi~
dent Wilson would find himself in a
serious dilemma in thus interfering
with the Senatorial aspirations Of a
candidate. An interference which could
have no other effect than TO advance
the interest of one or the other Of two
candidates. President Wilson may be
able to extricate himself from this di-
lemma without much trouble, but it is
quite possible that he will find that he
has "put his foot In it.. -

architects because they are moro state
ly than figures, which is reason
enough why they should be used in
architecture rather than tho ordinary
mathematical figures.
IL it is said that the ordinary indi-
vidual finds IL hard to read the Roman
numerals, the reply that fits the case
is that few ordinary persons care 10

up. But for any person who has the
slightest curiosity to read the year. it
is simple enough to read the Roman
numerals and would require no
more than few minutes of time in
any day of leisure to master the Roman
computation in this simple form.

change, evidently did so off-hand, and

WHAT BE WROTE.

We have noted heretofore the mis-
han which befeIl Colonel Roosevelt in
having portion of his speech on bis
departure for South America printed as
| having been delivered when ho did not
deliver that part of the speech at all
However, since that part of the speech
which criticized Presidents Taft and
Wilson with respect to their Mexican
policy was in fact part Of the spoech
handed to the press as what he would
say, he has no particular reason to COM
plain Of the mishap, especially as he
took no pains to notify the papers that
he was going to eliminate any part of
the address as furnished. The gist Of
what Colonel Roosevelt said is found
in the following summary. the reference
being to the vigorous handling of San
to Domingo when he was President, a
vigorous handling which has been par
alleled in fact by Minister Sullivan
who recently brought the insurrectos of
Santo Domingo to time. The undelivered
portion Of Colonel Roosevelt g written
speech is summarized as follows:
Remember, I never said that I would
refuse TO run the risk OF shedding a drop
OF blood to protect American property.
That doctrine II carried out logically
would mean that no policeman ought ever

burglary and highway robbery are only
offenses against property, whereas inter-

lacks definiteness in merely indicating

BRITISH ATHLETIC DECLINE.

From time immemoria it has been
conceded that the British people were
the greatest athletes in the world
In pretty much all forms of athletic
activity in the past they have claimed,
have won, and have been conceded The
superiority; that is, until within few
years past, Great Britain has fairly
been called "the great sporting ma
ton.
The Duke Of Westminster is en-.
gagged in an active propaganda now TO
reclaim at least some of the lost ground
and put British athletics upon the old
footing, at least in partial degree. We
do not believe that he will attain much
success in this. but it is something to
sec that there is disposition i'm Great
Britain TO come up TO the mark, and
not sulk. The Duke Of Westminster
is cndcavoring to raise a large fund
so that British athletes NAV devote
their time and attention principally to
exercising and the training for the
Olympic games that will come of in
Berlin in 1916. As reason for his
contention he sets forth the spccfacu.

fercd in sporting events, as follows.

RAND GOLD OUTPUT.

The gold product of the Rand in
South Africa has not recovered from
the blow inflicted upon it by the great
labor strike in the gold mines there in
July. The gold product of July this
year was 600, $50 fine ounces, compared
with the July product of 1912 of 766,.
55S fine ounces. In August Of this year
the product was 72S,096 fine ounces,
compared with 764,737 fine ounces in
August of last year. In September,
just past, the product was 706, ,lS6 fine
ounces, compared with 1888 fine
ounces in September OF last year.
The total gold product Of the Rand
tor the nine months of the present
year amounts to 6,730.O92 fine ounces.
For the corresponding nine months of
1912 the product was 6,92l,S75 fine
ounces. So that in place Of the gain
which was naturally expected and
which was. in fact, realized for the first
six months of this year, as compared
with last year, there is an actual fall
ing off OF l9l,1S3 fine ounces. 1t is
possible that this may be made up in
the ensuing three months that remain
OF the present year TO report. But it is
not likely. So that the Rand product
will probably be somewhat less than o.

GOOD POLICE WORK.

The people Of the United States arc
so much given to censure Of the police
Of New York City, that they have al
most come to the conclusion that moth
ing good is to be expected of that po
lice force. Yet still, New York City
has police force efficient beyond al
other forces in the United States, and
it is composed mostly of honest men,
and governed chiefly by honest officers
No matter what may be said against
Tammany and Tammany's self-secking
and corruption, the Tammany bosses in
fact that it was necessary to have u po-
lice force that would do effective police
work.
An instance of the good work of the
New York police is in the results op'
tanned in rounding up the gang of
black handlers and bomb throwers that
for a time created almost a reign of
terror in New York. This gang has
been thoroughly broken up; fifteen ar
rests have been made and half a doz.
en- of the accused have confessed not
only upon themselves, but upon their
leaders.
This gang has been charged with
many crimes against persons, with
bomb-throwing, with murder, with horse.
poisoning and counterfeiting In this
latter, Federal secret service officers
have done excellent work also. in fer
reting out the crime and arresting the
criminals.
IT is found that the members Of the
gang worked in two sections, with a
foreman at the head Of each. This fore.
man hired out the men for criminal
purposes according to their capacity,
skill, and nerve. Every crime that was
in view was apportioned to the mem
ber of the gang most skilled in that
particular line Of criminality.
There is, therefore, by reason of the
success of the New York police Joined
with the Federal secret service agencies
good reason to congratulate the people
Of New York, and of the whole country
for that matter, on the success Of the
officials IN rounding up this dangerous
gang of criminals. If it had been al.
lowed to pursue its activities, with even
a partial degree Of immunity, there can
be no doubt that through the criminal
activities originating in these societies
there would have spread a wave of
crime all over the country, and like So
cictles would have sprung up in every
city of the United States. Therefore,
the New York City police have done a
great service to the people of the whole
Nation. and for this service they are
unquestionably entitled to Nationwide
recognition and praise,
