The foIIies OF the few make the mis-
cries OF the many Human beings
bound together by the ties Of com
mon destiny. suffer more from reflect
ed than from original causes. They
are the innocent victims OF sacrifice.
which perhaps unthoughted is none
the less disastrous 70 the welfare OF
society and the happiness Of mankind.
The maynard boy the girl who goes
wrong open cankers in the hearts OF
those who love them and build bright
hopes on their futures. Even dis
obedient child is a source OF anxiety.
But when a man. the father of a fam
ily or a woman. the mother Of chill
dren. strays from the path of rectitude
10 is difficult TO comprehend the havoc
wrought.
\ little while ago "A man was sent to
the penitentiSry. He had committed
"A grievous wrong What he did was
more 20 be condemned than the act Of
the higbwayman who meets his victim
in a secluded spot and at the point Of
a revolver robs him OF his valuables,
or the act of the thief who by stealth
approprites TO his own use that which
does not belong to him. He betrayed
the confidence of those who through
years OF business dealings had i'm
plicitly trusted him
The man VS. supposed 10 be fnan-
cially prosperous. He was prosperous
i'm his domestic relations. He had a
good home and a happy family, de-
voted wife and children of whom he
had a right to be proud. His wife was
happy in the confidence and esteem in
which her husband was held. The
children honOred their father. But
for the weakness which led this man
To walk rough shod over his cOnscien-
tious scruples and forfeit the good will
of his fellow citizens his home might
still be a happy one.
The story would be less pathetic if
this man alone could suffer the cOnse-
quences Of his dishonesty. but that. is
impossible. No man can do either
good or evil and enjoy or suffer alone.
Inevitably others are involved. This
mans wife has lost her reason. While
ne sits in his cell suffering the tor
lures of remorse the woman he prom
ised To honor and protect is that most
pitiable object OF human sympathy, a
mental derelict, and upon the children
has fallen the double sorrow and bur-
den of a felon father and a demented
mother.
Such examples OF the folly Of error

the question as 10 whether this is TO

We had supposed when early in the

quired the chief of police 20 bring in

STATESMEN
REAL AND NEAR
by FRED o. KELLY.

WASHINGTON. March S1.-when
Josephus Daniels, secretary OF the
navy. was attending school down at
Wilson. y. c., IL was customary
every Friday afternoon for one sec
ton of the school TO give declama-
tions from the platform. One Fri
day a dozen of the boys comprising
all that were TO speak that day got
their heads together and conceived
the merry prank Of all giving the
same speech. one after another.
The speech they were to give was
the one that starts: ION Linden
when the sun was low, all bloodless
lay the untrodden snow" etc.
BY the time eight or nine of the
jocular youngsters had given those
imperishable lines, the schoolmaster
was aroused to a considerable state
of ire and dignity.
He sat through one or two more
and then when the twelfth boy was
about to speak, he promulgated these
tidings:
eff another one OF YOU dares give
that same piece he will remain after
school and | shall give him some
thing that will set him thinking"
Josephus Daniels was the next boy.
He and his companions had entered
into a solemn compact all 10 give
that same little piece. come what
might. As he assembled the plat
form and gazed at the eager young
faces OF his accomplices, Josephus
greatly disliked TO be untrue 10 his
pledge. And yet a glance at the
grim ccuntenance of the school
master suggested 10 him that pledges
were made TO be broken when un-
foreseen circumstances warranted.
II was a trying situation. For
some moments he stood there waver-
ing, discretion yanking at the anchor
OF duty.
And. To- duty held
Manfully the brave little chap be-
gan:

But he got no further. The teach
er laid hands on him.

Here is an example OF the way
false reports get started
You have heard that William Jen-
nings Bryan goes 10 market with a
market basket. He doesn't. He goes
10 market frequently. and buys rad
ishes and cheese or whatever strikes
his fancy. and samples some OF his
purchases as he goes along, but he
has the stuff all delivered. There is
never any basket on his arm.
Some months ago as he was walk
ing down town from his Washington
home he saw some white radisifes in
front OF little grocery He paused
a moment and ordered a little mess
Of them sent 10 his home.
The grocer was so pleased over &C
quiring so celebrated customer that
he began 10 talk and press agent
himself. In q few days il was IN the

WHAT THE
PAPERS SAY
THE PRESIDENTS VICTORY.

BY vote OF 2O7 70 176 the house
decided TO close debate on the rule
fixing a time TO vote on the repeal bill,
and then adopted the rule by vote of
100 10 172. Out Of 254 democrats who
answered 10 their names 199 followed
the president. Yet the organization Of
the house as represented by Speaker
Clark, Representative Underwood and
representative Fitzgerald, was against
him. He was opposed also by the floor
leaders OF the three parties-Under-
wood. Mann and Murdoch. The pro-
gressive vote was solid in opposition
and only eight republicans voted with
the majority.
Under such conditions the president
could not possibly have won had he
not been right, had he not been sus-
tanned by enlightened public opinion.
The victory thus is in no sense per
sonal. IL is the victory Of the demo-
cratic party OF the people OF the
United States. and OF sound principles.
There are those who pretend 10 think

papers about Bryan going about with
a market basket. Bryan is no crank
on the subject of dignity but he was
not greatly pleased over the mar
ket basket tale. He wondered how it
got started.
About "A week later a woman stop
ped at the same little grocery to look
at some radishes.
They are very fine" said the gro
GER; Mr.. Bryan, the secretary of
state, stops here every morning with
his basket on his arm and buys some
of those"
80 you're the man that started
that market basket story" exclaimed
the woman. Il happen to be a neigh
Dor and a good friend of the Bry-
ans and l know he will be interested
in learning how that got started!
For you know very we'll that it isn't
true"
And the assumption is that Bryan
bought his radishes there no longer.
Otis Wingo, member of congress
from Arkansas has been addicted
all his life to the habit of reading
things that the average reader never
sees-odd, esoteric stuff like the con-
gressiOnal Record and presidential
platforms. He began reading the
Congressional Record almost as soon
as he had finished the third reader,
and kept ii up, without missing an
issue, until he came to congress-.
Then-just when the average repre-
sentative would be acquiring his first
acquaintance with the Record
Wingo quit reading it.
1t doesn't seem as worth while
any more, now that l know all the
authors" says Wingo
Wingo knows by heart every pres
idential platform that has been
drawn up in the last 30 years. and
he is probably one Of the few men in
the country who ever took the trOu-
BILE to read one clear through.
However. this little habit OF his
came in handy when he ran for con-
gress. He was in a joint debate with
his opponent and the latter used a
phrase that Wingo Immediately rec
ognized as a part of the presidential
platform on which Mckinley ran IN
1896
"Oh, no." cried Wingo, you're try
ing TO get the nomination on the
democratic ticket and you're Dor
rowing stuff from republican plat
forms. Do you think the people will
stand for that"
And at wingo's urgent behest. the
people didn't.
David F. Houston. secretary Of
agriculture. is a good deal of a pillow
horse in his methods of work. He
goes just so fast-and no pressure of
business can make him go any fast
er. Nothing ever ruffies him. I'm
finished business toward the close Of
the day does not appall him. When
he thinks he has done a days work
he knocks off. And having left his
office behind him he thinks no more
about his tasks until the morrow.

"Drec" Boyer Isn't
Much of a Judge of
Mules, 1t Is Said

Poor Director Charley Boyer took a
little "fier'' in mules yesterday, but the
result wasn't joyous; it caused quite a
little furry at yesterdays session of
the Poor Directors in fact Not that
the mules Mr.. Boyer purchased weren't
nice, wel1-behaved, regular mules; but
they weren't heavy enough for the
work a new pair of mules We're requir-
ed to do at the Almshouse. That's the
whole story in fact. Here are a few de-
tails:
Two mules were needed at the Aims
house. Mr.. Boyer heard of sale across
the river and essayed to agreeably sur.
prise his fellow members of the board
by going down to the sale and buying
the mules. He doesn't know much about
'em. about mules, that is, but the pair
seemed all right, and Mr.. Boyer said
he thought he could save the county
money.
When the Almshouse steward saw
the pair, however, he guffawed; when
President Walter and Director Man
ming, of the Poor Board, heard about
the weight of Mr.. Boyer's purchases,
they guffawed likewise They're both
President Walter and Director Man
ming, that fs-are authorities on mules.
Hence the laughter.
The fact that the mules were entire
ly too light for the heavy work of the
poor farm was borne in doubly upon
Mr.. Boyer, and he effected another
trade and got a pair of heavier mules.
That's all there is to the story

Tango and Other Present
Day Dances Are Aiding
Manufacturers of Silk
By Associated Press

New York, March 26.-The tango
and other South American dances,
which have caused notable revival
of this form of amusement through
out the country have had a direct and
stimulating effect upon silk industry
by reason said Ramsay Peugnet,
secretary of the Silk Association of
America, in his report at the annual
meeting of that body yesterday, "of
the greater number of dancing gowns
required"
Continuing Mr.. Peugnet said: "The
custom of dancing in the afternoons
as well as at dinner and after the
theater has become almost universal
in New York city and the craze for
this form of amusement is rapidly
spreading to other cities and towns
throughout the country.
Every woman who yields herself
to this most popular fad, needs a much
larger wardrobe. which usually means
greater variety of dancing and din
ner costumes of silk. To meet this
rapidly increasing demand our silk
manufacturers have brought out many
fabrics especially designed for dancing
gowns"
