didates or whether the colonel shall be permitted to make the nominations. He says that it is Mr. Roosevelt who
 Is the real boss and that it is he and his methods in this case that make the real issue. There is something to
 this claim, more than appears on the
 surface
 In the first place Mr. Roosevelt does
 not profess to be a republican, but is
 progressive and as such he has done
 all he could do to defeat the repub-
 lican organization. For man who
 has taken this position and taken
 it voluntarily he is showing some
 nerve to assume to dictate the nomi-
 nations in another political party.
 There are some republicans, however,
 who are showing an inclination to
 listen because they believe that by submitting to him they can obtain the support of the progressives and per-
 haps elect their candidate. With MT. Hinman acceptable to the colonel he will also be acceptable to many of the progressives, who appear to thoroughly understand that they can not poll very large vote in New
 York state and that by consolidating with the republicans, they can cover up their own weakness and if the movement should be successful they can step in later and claim a part of the glory. The regular republicans are not in favor of this arrangement; of course tue chairman of the state committee. Mr. Barnes, is also opposed to 1t and there Is some question as to who is going to win at the primaries. It should prove an interesting contest.
 Both Whitman and Hinman are op- posed to Murphy, who is the Tam many leader and who has troubles enough in his own camp. The Tribune, partly republican and partly progress sive, which, by the way, is opposed to the reelection of Senator Penrose in Pennsylvania, is showing an incli- nation to side with MT. Hinman in New York, because 1t says that his candidacy offers the hope of co-opera- tion between republicans and pro- gressives, thereby making the best l prospect of defeating Tammany.

Only Making a Living. Breeders GaZette.)

we are only making a living on the farm" complained friend not long ago. We happen to know that 1t is a good living, that the home is a roomy, comfortable sort of place, that there is a sleeping porch, a bath room, fireplace, a sunny dining room. He has cows, fowls, horses, carriages and a garden. Besides. cer- tain improvements and soil ameliora- tions that he has undertaken will some day yield him far more of the fruits of the earth than he is today receiving.
 Leaving this friend and his farm we took a journey and awoke to look out at manufacturing city. Closely set were the tall houses, dusty, smoked, between them hot and dirty streets. In such environment lies great proportion of Americas people; fewer than the half of us dwell on farms, the rest in cities.
 A living? Seeing men emerging from these smoke-begrimed homes, dinner pails in hand to go to their places of toll, we remember our friends on farms. They arise and go forth in the freshness of the dewy m orning, the air is clean, the birds are all about them, the sun shines, the fresh breezes blow. Theirs is no such toll as that of shop or office A living? Commend us to the living that goes with the peaceful fields.

CRIMINAL AT HEART.

Lawrence Robinson who committed
 suicide in Boston yesterday was no ordinary. criminal, having been a murderer several times and a burglar, but even at that he appears to have been somewhat of philosopher and approached his end apparently with out fear. Among his letters was one
 for the sheriff, his keeper in jail and
 his counsel, in which he said, You're
 up against a hard game when you've got to die to beat it.' No other of
 his kind ever looked at 1t in that way
 before. Some have taken their own
 lives when they knew the state was going to take them but whether it was fear of the ga1lows or electric chair, they didn't say. In this case the offender against the law was gen. tlemanly appearing fellow, good dresser and evidently with some pride in his own peculiar way. He surely was up against a hard game, but one of his own choosing, and had he ab- stained from self-destruction he would undoubtedly have been con- victed of murder and sentenced to death. He knew it, said it would satisfy some people, the police, per haps and so he took his own life. He was man who had the ability to earn good wages, could support him. self and those dependent upon him and appears to have been a fellow of good address, but he was criminal at heart; he did not have the courage or inclination to try to resist tempta- tion and he ended up as such men often do, although it was a choice of two manners of death, he preferring his own. There was some sentiment in his makeup as was evidenced in his letters to his mother and wife and yet it did not influence him for good in any way.
 There is the old lesson in it all and 1t is that the wages of sin is death. Those who lead an evil life are likely to have an unhappy ending and if people so inclined could be made to see 1t that way it would hardly fail to produce some kind of reform. With such men as Robinson crime must be a disease so firmly rooted in the mind that 1t cannot be controlled outside the bars of a prison and there have han remedy has failed to curb the ten dency of the wicked This was one of them.

Southern Farmers Happy. Savannah (GaO NewS.)-

Usually, there is lot of talk about the grumblings of farmers, but if any corn and cotton farmer in south Geor- gia is grumbling now he is doing it under his breath. So promising is the prospect for big crops, especially for cotton and corn, that supersti- tious farmers may think it advisable to touch wood to prevent some un- them even at this late hour. How ever, it would take a very unusual display of Natures perverseness, to ruin south Georgia's cotton and corn crop now, and the outlook is that when the harvest is over there will be an unprecedentedly small number of unpaid farmers notes in the hands of the bankers and a mighty small number of accounts that will have to be carried over until next year by merchants for the farmers. ..
 From almost every county there are the very best of reports and except for a few acres that have been hit by local hailstorms, the crops are in ex-. cellent condition. The farmer who would grumble with the cotton and corn in such fine shape would be a natural grouch. Last fall and winter were prosperous seasons for Georgia farmers, and this year promises to be even more prosperous.
 Thanksgiving day and Christmas should be- happier days on their farms this year than in long. time, and Georgia products day should be cele- brated in fine style. For two years now Georgia has been specially fa- vored by conditions favorable to good crops. Some other sections of the country, but not all others, may have fared equally we'll, but certainly none has fared better. South Georgia is a mighty fine place to live. ...-.:...

Hard Times Debate. (BoSton Herald.)

If you see a man who says that
 times are good he is probably a strong Wilson democrat. If he thinks they are 'middling" he is on the fence in some sort of straddle. If he is sure they are bad, in fact very bad, he is republican, and from his estimate
 of the depth of the prevailing depres-
 sion you must get line on his place in party ranks.
 The newspapers reflect the same
 situation. Democratic organs, like
 the New York World scurry the
 country over for evidence of some-
 bodys starting up a factory, or in-
 creasng orders, or making new out
 lays of some sort. Henry Ford be- comes the uncrowned king of the
 hour The republican organs lay
 nearly corresponding emphasis on
 signs of depressions, while among the
 progressives opinions vary. Their great high priest says times are bad,
 but some of his more logical fol- lowers, realizing the inevitable im- port of such an opinion, incline to the democratic view. ......
 The democrats have long been ex- ceedingly sensitive on this score. MT. Wilson made rather shrill outcry before his inauguration, in which he threatened to hang higher than Haman" any one who started to precipitate business depression. Since that time he has reached the con- clusion that there is actually a con- spiracy among his political enemies to curtail the volume of industry, in order to discredit his administration. His great secretary of commerce, MT. Redfield, has not only joined in these warnings, but has steadily informed his chief that all is well, business con- ditions sound and the country es- sentially prosperous. Wherever a democratic hand shows itself in any chamber of commerce or other pub lie body, it is for the passing of resolutions of an optimistic char acter. And so the debate proceeds.
 These ought to be questions of fact and not of opinion. We have many barometers of industry, such as postal receipts, street car and steam railroad earnings, empty freight cars, thrilled orders for steel billets, bank clearings, stock exchange quotations, etc. To an independent newspaper like The Herald it appears that times are not good, but that they might be, | and occasionally are, much worse, The president has played into extra | ordinary luck at many critical points in his public career, never more so | than now in his apparent settlement l of the Mexican trouble and in the un precedented size of the countrys | crops. Times should be good this fall. |
 The real trouble with the business | world is the apprehension which the | half-baked schemes of our populistic lawmakers have occasioned. Busi- | ness is not helped by the continuous sessions of congress and the increas- ing regulations sought everywhere. It does not know where it is att or where "it is to get off, to use the vernacular of the day. This uncer- tainty throws a blanket over every thing. Then taxation has reached figures which are eliminating one business after another as not worth doing under the burdens which public authority imposes. In these circum- stances "big crops will help us, but can hardly be expected to cure us.

FACTS AND RANCHES.

It is said that Joseph Pulitzer once sent present of 200 fine cigars to q steamship captain, ip expression of his gratitude to the captain for d soundless salute of his yacht in pass ing-that is, passing without blowing his whistle. This is a striking ex- ample of the nervous, almost insane horror which Pulitzer had for noise The majority regarded MT. Pulitzer as a crank" nervous to the verge of insanity, but it is very probable that if most persons had his keen sense of the folly of abusing sound society would be better off.-New Haven Register.
 Considering the ferocity with which democracy throughout the country has been declaiming against the malefactors of great wealth and the trusts which prey upon the people it does look a little out of alignment for the president to place one of the malefactors upon his federal reserve board and for another, who has had intimate connections with ethe New Haven road, to press his candidacy upon the democracy for the governor ship of Connecticut. Jones and Com stock are queer timber for the rad icals in the dem ocratic party to use in constructive work.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 There is method in the announced policy of the newly organized re- publican club at Burnside which proposes to admit every male resi- dent in that vicinity who is eighteen years of age, or older. Burnside is small community, but apparently it has far-reaching ideas, politically. Of course it's republican leaders do not propose to make voters of young men before they are twenty-one years of age, but by securing hold on them during the two or three years before they reach that age, the chances of them fit the mold of the G. O. P. is considerably increased.- Hartford Times.

SpoOning.
(New Bedford Standard.

"Spooning is crime against wo-
 manhood" said a speaker before the
 older girls conference of the Inter-
 national Sunday school convention at Chicago. Pass the word along to
 girls who love to spoon," he added,
 "That it is the most degrading thing they can do; one of the most degrad- ing things they may permit"
 Here is prudishness gone mad, here is an effort to make the innocent and the natural appear foul. The speaker, in the report before us, did not define his terms, so that We shall have to fall back on the dictionary. The Standard defines the verb to spoon as ito be sentimentally in love; to in dulge in demonstrations of affection as lovers' Most people have a pretty clear idea of what spooning is. All over the land, these summer nights, young women are spooning with their lovers, and seeing them, many vir- tuous and loving mother thinks of the salad days of her own courtship, and of long farewells-until the next night, a whole .dayi-at the front door or the creaking gate along the village street. Spooning in public coram populo-is justly derided; it is a pastime in which an exquisite reticence is to be preserved, and however sentimental a couple may be in private, with the world looking on they must try to appear as if they. ulu not care a particle for earn other. And so trying, how poorly they succeed until amusement be- comes sympathy, and considerate people suddenly recollect important errands elsewhere.
 We like to think that utterances such as we have quoted do very little | harm. No sensible girl hearing them, | could be made to believe that to be | sentimentally in love is the most de- grading thing she can do. If anything is degrading, it is such attempts, by prudish minds to make young women believe that in needing the mating instinct, they are doing something a abominable
