and all that. but the idea OF killing
horses for food will have a hard time
gaining any popularity in New York
Cows or hogs or sheep are born to
idleness. Their place in the world
has been definitely fixed for ages.
They are fattened for the slaughter
and 1t Is proper that they should be
eaten.
"As long as a horse Is able to work
there Is no cali TO the slaughter house

SSVVyHAT do you suppose was the

Gary gave TO Col. Roose-
Welt and flock OF plutocrats2" asked
tho head polishcr.
Search me-" answered the laundry
man. There couldn't have been much
politics in II, because II Is bad poll
tics for an active, practical politician
70 get into close public association
with malefactors of great wealth. as
Col. Roosevelt used to call them for
publication. Private association OF
that character Is all right, but II
wasn't what we would call classy
politics to invite the Colonel to
a dinner with representatives OF
S200. 000. 000.000
However. inasmuch as a national
campaign Is approaching, the Colonel
deserves considerable attention. How
are the Republicans going to get along
without him2
IN 1912 Wilson got G.293, 900 votes,
Taft got 3.4S4000 votes and Roosevelt
got 4.1l9.000 yotes--700. 900 more than
Taft. Roosevelt and Taft together
polled 7,6os,0oo votes, or 100000 more
than Wilson.
1T Is foolish TO say that Roosevelt
is a dead one, that his Progressive
Party Is dead and that even II he ran
Independently again he wouldn't poll
enough votes TO put q dent In the out
come. Consider the case of William
Jennings Bryan. In 1895. with the aid
OF the Peopfe's Party. he polled 6,502.
900 votes, IN 1900 he dropped back "a
6,368, 900 votes-more than Wilson got
at that-and In 1908. when he ran the
campaign all by himself and the ma
tionAl Organization didn't do enough
for him TO inspire even a slight pers-
piration. he polled 6.4o9,o 900 votes.
The Republican leaders don't want
Roosevelt as their candidate. but they
do want those little old 1000, 900 Roose-
welt votes. With them they figure
they can beat Wilson with any candi-
date. How they. are going TO make
I'D with the Colonel and preserve their
self respect Is a puzzle. But when you
come TO think OF It.. self-respect
doesn't take up much room in practI-

Intelligencer, did more. John Hart
well, its editor, elaborated an ingenious
theory that tried to show that Gluck
was, after all, responsible for the MUIR
der Of Irene Tackley. Hartwell died.
And Sherbourne died, too, while Po-
liceman Phillips was shot in the leg
and discharged from the Oakland po-
lice force.
The murder of Hartwell was long a
mystery. He was alone in his editorial
office at the time. The reports Of the
revolver were heard by the office boy,
who rushed in to find Hartwell expir-
ing in his chair. What puzzled the po-
lice was the fact not merely that he
had been shot with his own revolver,
but that the revolver had exploded in
the drawer of his desk. The bullets
had torn through the front of the
drawer and entered his body. Spon-
taneous explosion was the police ex-
PLANTATION, and the chemists of the
cartridge company were well bullied
at the inquest But what the police
did not know was that across the
street, in the Mercer building, room
S33, rented by Emil Gluck, had been
occupied by Emil Gluck at the very
moment Hartwell's revolver SO mys-
teriously exploded.
At the time, no connection was made
between Hartwell's death and the
death of William Sherbourne. Sher-
bourne had continued to live in the
home he had built for Irene Tackley,
and one morning in January, 1888, he
was found dead. Suicide was the YER
dict of the coroner's inquest, for he
had been shot by his own revolver.
The curious thing that happened that
night was the shooting of Policeman
Phillips on the sidewalk in front of
Sherbourne's house. The policeman
crawled to police telephone on the
corner and rang up for an ambulance.
He claimed that someone had shot
him from behind in the leg. The
leg in question was so badly shattered
