Are They Coming Back?

Editorial in the Chicago Tribune:
Golfers Weekly quotes Congressman
Augustus P. Gardner Of Massachu-
sets: Two thirds Of our trouble lies
in The fact that the people think that
the republican party Is in bad hands.
Every time we renominate a discredit-
ed leader we postpone the day of re-
COvery."
Golfers comment is: LAS, for ex-
ample, the denomination of Penrose in
Pennsylvania, Foraker in Ohio, the
continued dominance of Barnes in New
York, and the hailing Of Jim Watson
Of Indiana as q candidate for vice
president by a republican gathering
in Missouri. The republican party is
In bad hands, and there is no way Of
changing it."
On the last point there can be two
opinions. There Is a way Of changing
it, although Golfers, in referring to
the fact that the republican national
committee is the product Of the I'M
scrupulous 1912 convention and that
this national committee will retain
control until after the mex
ton, has a warrant for saying that
for the time being there is no way of
taking party management out Of bad
hands and putting it into good hands.
Undoubtedly the once repudiated
chiefs Of the republican party have
new confidence and are animated by
revived hope. They believe that there
Is to be a reaction against democratic
administration and legislation, and
that this reaction will be impatient,
unreasoning and probably violent.
1t may De impatient in that the i'm
pulse will urge an attack upon all So
Ninl paFnrP1o fhanrtnu nTI fh1R- ola~ 49,
reasoning. 1t may be that public opin-
ion, provoked and exasperated, will
not discriminate, but will turn toward
the old masters of political affairs as
to men who did not disturb business,
did not disturb conditions OF employ
ment, and who, whatever else they
might do, did not interrupt the orderly
processes Of the nations affairs.
Generally after a tariff revision such
a reaction Is expected, and the old line
republican leaders undoubtedly look
for one his year. There Is unques-
tionably a danger that for the time
being there will be a loss If ground
in a number of highly important po-
litical movements which have little or
nothing to do with the responsibility
of the democratic administration.
There Is the danger that the reac-
ton will be unreasoning. The mood
Of the country may be one of impa-
tience, if not intolerance. If this be
so, the old discredited leaders Of the
republican party may find sympathy
and support in their attempts to re-
gain or retain their leadership.
Cannon, Penrose, Mckinley, Barnes,
etc., are confident that this revulsion
will be to their benefit, and they are
astute observers. 1t therefore becomes
more important than ever that there
should be renewed opposition to them
and their ideas.

cARBAJAL, A MAN OF PEACE.

r. Francisco Carbajal, the new provis-
tonal president Of Mexico, is not keen
son war. This is not surprising in view
Sof the fact hat Huerta hung on as
Dong as he could. But ordinarily It
is said Carbajal is not a fighting man
In the sense that Huerta was. He has
never been active in politics, is wealthy
and is a friend Of people. So it Is nat
1tral he should direct his efforts to the
restoration Of peace. He has made
ment over to the constituttonalists and
end the long period of bloodshed. He
already has ordered federal troops 10
evacuate San Luis Potosi, one of the
largest cities in federal territory.
~ But. will the constitutionalists treat
Carbajal with equal courtesy? VIII!
they consider the fact he took over the
provisional presidency upon the retire
'ment of Huerta sufficient reason to
execute him? Will they enter Mexico
City peacefully and guarantee the pro-
lection Of the lives and property of
those who supported Huerta, and for
eigners?
There are questions yet to be an
swered, yet CarbajaIs Willingness to
cooperate with the rebels ought to
make for peace. That seems to be the
logical conclusion. But there is no
guarantee hat Mexico is to have per-
manent peace. There is Zapata, the
rebel bandit in the south, to appease,
and there is no positive assurance that
the constitutional chiefs will agree
once the government is in their hands.
1t would be easy enough to start a
new revolt. Mexico's future is still
one Of great uncertainty.

A British Actor Who Met Gen.
b Washington Describes His
Appearance and Conversation

Boston Transcript: Frank B. San
born pronounces the following one Of
he best descriptions we have Of Gem
eral Washington. He has reproduced
it in the first volume of his "Recollec-
tons Of Seventy Years" among many
other precious human documents"
This rare pen picture Of Washington
occurs to his mind when he comes to
speak of General and Governor Ma
thaniel P. Banks because General
Banks, as he says. is the only person
he had ever met who had seen the
English actor Bernard on the stage,
and 1t was this British actor Bernard
who drew this most excellent full
length Of George Washington. AS
Banks himself had been an actor in
early life for awhile (as his daughter
was after his DEATH his judgment may
be trusted that Bernard was a natural
and pleasing actor, though not a great
one. Actors habitually notice the points
that make up the impression of an in
dividual, so that this forgotten British
actors tribute to Washington as he
looked in private life has a peculiar
Value.1
1t was a chance meeting, at an acct
dent on the road a few miles below
Alexandria on the banks of the Poto-
4AAbSJ LILO DIOuSlI IIlS L"O IOSOIlICEs
An old fashioned chaise, containing d
mar and his wife, and household lug
gage, had been overturned. The actor
was on horseback approaching from
one direction, and another horseman,
coming in the opposite direction at a
gentle trot, was seen by him to break
into a. gallop on witnessing the acct
dent. Both men were at work half an
hour reViving the injured woman, who
had tainted, and getting the horse and
chaiSe out Of a ditch n reloading 1t
with It's baggage. 1t was strenuous
work, under a MONDAY sun in the
middle Of July. "My companion" says
the actor, latter an exclamation at the
heat, offered very courteously to dust
my coat-a favor the return of which
enabled me to take a survey Of his per-
son. He was a tall, erect, well-made
man, evidently advanced in years
G798), blu appeared to have retained
all the vigor and elasticity resulting
from a life Of temperance and exercise.
His dress was a BLU coat, buttoned to
the chin, and buckskin breeches.
Though, the instant he took off his
hat, I could not avoid the recognition
Of a face familiar to me, still I failed
to identify him; and, to my surprise, I
found myself an object of equal specu-
4dLlon III MS eyes. A SHlllS at length
lighted them up, and he exclaimed:
Mr.. Bernard, I believe I bowed. T
had the pleasure of seeing you perform
in Philadelphia last winter I bowed
again, n he added: 7 have heard Of
o since from several of my friends
at Annapolis. You are acquainted with
Mr.. Carroll I replied that gentle
mans society had amends for much
that I had lost In quitting England.
He remarked: You must be fatigued.

PADDLE YOUR OWN GANGS

Every wave that bears you on
To the silent shore,
From its sunny our has gone
To return no more,
Their let not an hours delay
Cheat you of your due;
But, while 1t is called today,
Paddle your W canoe,
If your birth denied you wealth,
Lofty state and power;
Honest fame and hardy health
Are a better dover.
But If these will not suffice,
Golden gain pursue;
And, to win the %el1ttering prize,
Paddle your own canoe.
Would you wrest the wreath Of fame
From the hand of fate?
Would you write a deathless name
With the good and great?
Would you bless your fellow-men?
Heart and soul Undue
With the holy task, and then
Paddle your own canoe
Would you crush the tyrant wrong,
In the worlds free fight?
With a spirit brave and strong,
Battle for the right:
And to break the chains that bind
The many to the few,
To enfranchise the slaVish mind
Paddle your own
Nothing great is lightly wonI
Nothing won Is lost;
Every good deed, nobly done,
Will repay the cost.
Leave to heaven, in humble trust,
All you will to do:
But If you succeed, you must
Paddle your own canoe.

Repairing Broken Bones.

Tit Bits: That the bic fashioned
splint treatment Is far from salts
factory in restoring the proper shape
and functions of a limb, particularly
In cases Of considerable displacement
Of broken bones, Is generally admitted
by the medical profession. And it is
a fact that there are many people to-
day going through life crippled simply
because a fractured bone has been
badly set.
This danger, however, has now been
considerably minimized by a system
which has been perfected by a mem
Der Of the Royal College Of Surgeons,
which enables a bad fracture to be
mended by means of screws passed
through the bones, with plates or nuts
at the ends holding the screws In posi-
ton.
One of the great objections to the
splint method has always been that the
treatment has been so slow. It nee
essitates the patient being kept in bed
or inactive for the longest possible
time, in order that the bones and ten
dons may naturally heal together. 1t
is pointed out that perhaps half an
hour Is given to fixing a broken arm
1 n a splint or a leg in plaster, and
then nothing more can be done for a
month or two, except for the patient
to enjoy his convalescence and the
surgeon to come and look at the band
age and have a chat about the weather
from time to time.
1t is claimed. however, that If bolts
and screws are used in the treatment
Of broken bones the fractured parts
are held together so tightly that the
healing process takes but a short time.
Furthermore, there is less danger OF
displacement through careless move
ment on the part Of the patient, as
when an ordinary splint Is used
The method adopted is quite simple.
After the broken bone has been held
carefully in position, 1t Is transfixed
by a long drill from side to side, and
into the hole SO made is passed a long
bolt, which Is one-sixteenth to one
eighth of an inch in thickness, &C
cording to the size of the bone. The
head Of the bolt carries one plate, and
another plate is passed w the OPP
posite end and secured tightly by a
u when the projecting end Of the bolt
Is cut off. These bolts and plates are
usually made of soft steel, and the
method Of treatment has been found
particularly valuable in the case of
broken leg bones, where the muscular
strain is very great.

and replied, An odd sort of introduce
tion' Mr.. Bernard; but I am pleased
to find you can play SO active a part
IN private, n without a prompter.' I
needed no further stimulus to accept
his friendly invitation. AS we rode up
to the house, we entered freely into
conversation. Flattering as were his
inquiries concerning my success. nv
impressions OF the country, ETC., nv
own reflections on what had Just pass
ed were more absorbing. Nine ordin-
airy country gentlemen out of ten, who
mad seen a chaise upset near their
estate, would have thought it savored
neither Of pride nor Immature to ride
home and send servants to it's assist
ance. But l had witnessed, one of the
strongest evidences of a great mans
claim to his reputatton-the prompr.
lmpulslVe working of a heart which,
having the good Of mankind it's reli-
g1on, was never so happy as in practi-
cally displaying it. Whether YOU sur
veyed Washington's face, open, vet
well defined, digni1ed, but not AFRO
giant, thoughtful, but benign; his frame
towering and muscular, but alert from
its good proportions-every feature
suggested a resemblance to the spirit
1t encased. and showed simplicity in
alliance with the sublime. The i'm
preston was hat of a mist perfect
whole. something sacred as well as
wonderful; man fashioned by the
hand of heaven with every requisite
to achieve a great work. Thus a feel
ing Of awe and veneration stole over
you"
Now comes a bit OF technical and
professional observation and record
which clinches the authenticity of the
portrait: In conversation his face
mas not much variety Of expression. A
look Of thoughtfulness was given hy
the compression of the mouth and
the indentation of the brow, which did
not seem SO much to disdain a SYM

able Of debating them. Nor had his
voice, SO far as 1 could discover In our
quiet talk, much change or richness of
intonation, but he always spoke with
earnestneSs, and his eyes, glorious
conductors, of the light within. burned
with q steady fire which no one could
mistake for mere affability. He spoke
like a man who had felt as much az he
reflected, and reflected more than he
had spoken. He touched on every
topic that I brought before him with

time economy IN the Home.

Christian Science Monitor: One of the
valuable things learned during recent
years in factory, shop and office Is
that time only partially employed
means time wasted, and that time may
be wasted while 1t is seemingly en-
ployed. It was the custom not so many
years ago to give twelve and fourteen
hours to the days work. After a long
struggle the ten-flour day became rec
ognized In nearly all advanced couns
tries. After a longer and a severer
struggle the eight-hour day found Its
way to recognition. Now, it is gem
orally conceded that the results OF
eight hours of close application to
work are equal to, and often greater
than those obtained under any of the
previous systems.

Our Petty Senators,

YOUNGSTOWN. Pa, Democrat: Imagine
the grave senators solemnly selecting
a barber for the senate shop. The
committee in charge proceeds to in
vestigate the records of the applicant.
The chairman questions:
will you inform this committee
whether or not you have had any ex-
perience as a barber?"
Il have. sir?"
Where did you work last?"
Tn New York"
What class. sir, patronized your
shop?"
ours was a good shop, sir. Many
wealthy men came there"
ANY millionaries?"
Eyes, sir"
"Ah, hal"
Committee confers. Chairman
shakes his head. Applicant has shaved
millionaires; may be contaminated
by reason of contact with Big Bust
ness. Committee caucus decides to
steer shy of applicant who has had ex-
perience in New York shop patronized
by wealthy men and winds up by rec
ommending a. correspondence school
baber, . -
The senate would not pick a barber
after any such fashion. But that is
the way IL sues 6bOuI S1iOObLAE a tlClA1
her of the federal reserve board. For
disgusting demagoguery the senate
can be depended upon to lead the uni
verse. The evident desire Of the rath-
er ,insolent probers has been to pick
men competent for places on the fed
eral reserve boardawho have never had
any experience In banking, who have
never handled large sums of money
and who have never been thrown in
contact with men who handled large
sums of money. Small wonder Paul
Warburg is disposed to refuse a place
upon the board.
The very senators who are now
grandstanding have in the past been
fairly diligent servants Of the inter-
tests. The senate is the one legisla-
tive body of flrst-class Importance in
the whole world that can be depended
upon to be petty In it's class distinc :
tons. Only a senator would think Of
choosing members Of the federal re-
serve board from among the ranks Of
the unknown. There has been much
talk recently OF occurrences and poll
cies that have caused Americana to
blush for their country. 1t is only the
senate that makes US ashamed. 1t can
be a big body, the senate, and upon
occasion 1t can be SO mean in its spirit
that even Boies Penrose is ashamed OF
1T.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Melville E. Stone in Golfers: The
business Of news gathering in a dom
inant way was in the hands of three
men. They were responsible to no
one They could sen out to the news
papers anything they chose and no one
could call them to account. A large
number Of newspaper proprietors re-
Volted. They felt that, far beyond their
W interests, there was & great pub
lie question involved. They set about
the development of a plan which should
insure an honest, truthful and Impair
tial reporting Of events. After DELHI
Grafton, they concluded that the safest
way was to organize a cooperative as

representing diverse interests, and thus
put the institution under pledge to re-
port the truth. and, to guarantee i'm

subjected to the scrutiny and the cen
sorship of the varied views of it's
membership.
Thus the business started. It took
four Gears of hard stru 5glc to wrest
the business from private control, and
then 1t succeeded. The cooperative
association was accepted by enough
publishers to make it a success. The
very underlying principle was that it,
its, method Of organization and it's
news service should be subject to
criticism. With an appreciation of
their responsibility, and a full recogni-
tfon Of their duty to the American peo-
pie, they sought to work out the prob
lens before them in the best possible
fashion. If they did not succeed, then
the effort OF as patriotic and we'll
minded a set of men as this country
has rel known is a failure. At n
stage of the contest they pledged them
selves for hundreds of thousands of
dollars as a guarantee fund to break
the chains which at the momen
bound the American press to e~nslave-
