 The libel suit of William Barnes vs Theodore Roosevelt reveals two diff ferent types of men enga ged in prac- tcally the same business, and the tes- Inony Tn a measure shows how they work and how they seek to reach the ends for which they aim Mir. Barnes looks over his ground, ascertans what course is best to pursue, then deter mines the manner of campaign, keep lns always in mind not only his own interests, which are not necessarily which he represents. To De q success ful leader is the aim of many in pol tiles; to be able to say what shall be done in public way and what shall not be done and who shall be ap- pointed to public office is often con s'Gered glory enough for many men. Mark Hanna was not in politics for money; he had enough or It. but ne liked it and he liked the power It save him. Mr. Barnes idea was that W hen the republican party was Tn the saddle in New York that its action in lesislatiye matters should be in fiuenced bv the leaders or the party, who. according to his opinion. knew he st what was needed. Mir. Roosevelt was opposed to this, though he prac- tIsed it himself in a different way, as sunoing loftier attitude. saving in effect that when he appointed man to office it was because he regarded rim from the standpoint of efficiency and not because he was identified with { his or that faction. Mir. Barnes had the same object in view, so far as, ( efficiency was concerned. He would not ask for the appointm of a man who was incompetent any more than would MT. Roosevelt, though he would always have in mind the interests of the organization which made the ap- Tcintment possible. while Mir. Roose- ,eit would perhaps have in mind cnly the strengthening of himself As d I'uJIlN NIicl oIlcI'
 It won't do for, man to accuse another Of political corruption be- cause he does not do things as an ether man wants to have them done. All know that politics means log roll ing and compromise and these do not by any means constitute dishonesty or corruption as these terms are un derstood There is a great deal of corruption in politics, and all know that there are men in it for all they can get out of it but that does not apply to everyone. The actions of a political leader sometim cause him to be re- Garded with suspicion but that does not give anyone the righ, 10 make lr just accusations against him. Mir. ! ocsevelt is man of much influence i'll this country, when he was in office he had great deal of power and he vas able to do some things of his own ,olition which another could not ac- complish and it was natural that there should be clashes between him self and other leaders. He does not seem to know anything about Mir. Barnes that he is not telling the jury in the libel suit.

 Dropping it into the tea is a dis tinct failure With a CussednesS pe- culiar to quarter or lemon it is always SO placed that when you at tempt to sip the ice tea you are stymied by what appears to be a yellow backed turtle. You may have craftily revolved the glass so as to reach the tea while the lemon had it's back turned. but always by some mysterious but adequate sys- tenn of locomotion that lemon reaches the strategic point in time to intercept the tea before it reaches the rim of the glass.
 Putting it back on the saucer does not work out When you left the glass the lemon slides down into the center. and replacing your glass safely on an even keel involves a good deal of delicate two-handed | work. You can. of course. drop it upon the table cloth. but this is a | somewhat messy proceeding.

 Billy Sunday thinks that the old Chicago team with which he played
 in the eighties could beat any of the teams of the. present day. Perhaps; tut it is entirely unlikely. There is this reason why baseball players n 1915 are probably. better ball players than those of 1sSS--they catch them younger. In the eighties no boy had .n insight into really scientific base !,alI until he had pretty well done be- ing 8 hoy. There was baseball played h, boys, but it was boys baseball and not until an athlete was grown up cid he begin to get a training in the highly developed game played by professionals. Nowadays boys of 10 or 12 have an almost uncanny know ledge of real baseball. There Is ab- solutely no com parison between their playing and the playing of thte boys of thirty years ago--they are infinitely the supporters of their predecessors.- New London Day.
 We haven't noticed that our legisla- ture has done anything for bullfrogs Certainly here is rank omission You don't catch the Maine legislature sleeping on its privileges in any such fashion. There they propose a closed season for bullfrogs X good law, no doubt for there is nothing finer than the silvery legs of hullfrog, fried in olive oil and smiles: so good, indeed. that one can fairly taste the music in them: and what is fairer than the hasso profundo of bullfrog singing his love song in the gloamtng? Thoughts like these no doubt awaken cd the Maine legislature to sense of their duty, and they did not stop until they insisted upon 3 $t0 tax on cats, whose weird and Nagrant notes con- tiicted so disastrousy with the sonor- ous roundelay of the bullfrog. These are matters that our own legislature has doubtless forgotten, but there is plenty, of time yet to do everything and still keep the thunderous bullfrog within the range of our soicitude.--- Ohio State Journal.
