INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT.' :

The protest uttered by Senator Root in the New York constitutional con vention, against the so-called 'inVisi- b1e governn ent'' of cliques and bosses, will find a hearty echo among men of all parties. Put it is one thing to de- nounce machines, and another thing to wipe them out without creating new bosses equally pernicious.
 The battle between the bosses and. the average voter is always asScase of the professional against the amateur. The boss is represented as Czar, tyrant who compeIs the people to bow to his will. Nothing could be further from the truth. The boss gains his power and reaps his advantage from his skill in forecasting popular de- sires and adapting himself to popular will.
 The Slightest shift in popular feel ing is known to the bosses before the voters are conscious of it themselves. The network of listening ears hears the rustic of wind in the remotest tree tops. If the people want a cer- tain reform and are determined to have it, they can always get it.
 The public are easily diverted by side issues Opinions are taken ready made from ski1fu1 cultivators of sen ti7aent who have private interests to serve Many are swayed by racial and social ties. If their particular element in the community has not se- cured its share of the offices, the ras- calls must be turned out. The moment a man thinks his own pocket is touch ed he goes up in the air
 The boss plays on these currents of human feeling as the musician plays on his organ. He uses threats rarely. but appeals to prejudice and personal interest.
 Good political methods, like safe- euards about electing, nominating and legislative machinery, can help these conditions. But the only per rnanent remedy is intelligent study of political history local, state, and nat- tional, from day to day. The man who takes one or more reliable news paper, and reads the political news carefully, is rearely subject to boss tiOn

NICARAGUA ROUTE


 The first regular transp ortation route from the Atlantic to the Pacific by way of California caused by the discovery of gold, and, the new route by way of the Nicaraguan lakes and rivers soon sbeeameTa. rival of the Pan. anna route. The project of building a canal from the Atlantic to the Pa. cific across Nicaragua was discussed as early as a, century ago, and several companies have been organized for this purpose. The United States gov ernment favored the Nicaragua can al for some time, but finally abandon ed the project in favor of the Pana-
 ma, route. The first Nicaragua canal company, known as the Vanderbilt concession" was formed in 1849, but failed, and the project was not revived until 1884, when a new company was formed Actual work commenced in 1890s but little was accomplished, al though several millions were expend- ed. A bill providing for an appro- priation of $1OO, 100000 for the canal was introduced in the United States Congress in 1891. but itsfailed of pass age. The Republican party, in 1896,. urged the completion of the canal, and 8 commission reported that the canal could be built for from $118,000, 900 to $135,000, 0,0O0. A later commission, however, reported in favor of the Pan anna route.

DUKE OF TECK.


 Among the royal soldiers of Great Britain is the Duke of Tecls brother of Queen Mary, and a veteran of the Boer war His Serene Highness Ado1- phus Charles Alexander Albert Ed ward George Philip Louis Ladislaus was born in Kensington Palace, Aug. 13, 1868, and he will be forty-sev
 en years old tomorrow. He is the eldest son of the late Duke of Teck and Her Royal Highness Princess Mary Adelaide, daughter of the first Duke of Cambridge, 9 first cousin of Queen Victoria Although his moth CT was ain English princess of the blood, and through her he occupies a remote place in the British line of succession, the Duke is not wholly royal nor wholly English. His title is a reminder to Britons that he is the son of a. German, for the princely title of Teck is of Wurtemberg ortSin and is merely one of the minor Ger
 man nobility. Because of this there has been some disposition among the more radical Engnshmen to distrust the patriotism of the Duke, although he has certainly given no occasion for

LAJaE BEGINS 10TH YEAR
 IN MAJOR LEAGUES TO-DAY

Nineteen years ago today a big French youth, clad in the uniform of the Philadelphia National League baseball club, perched himself on first base, grinning at the good-natred channg of the crowd. The Philadel- 5phia. papers had announced that the newcomer to the big show was Q Frenchman from Fall River, and that he had led the New England League in batting with an average of .429. That figure looked pretty good to the fans, and they were anxious to see the find in action. They saw a rather handsome boy, who looked to be-and was-in his twenty-first year. He stood over six feet in height, but from his Latin ancestors he had inherited an ease and grace of movement such as is uncommon in men of such altt- tudinous proportions. This guy, if you must know, was Napoleon Lajoie.
 Today the great Napoleon will be- baseball in the city where he started. although he is now wearing the uni- form of the Athletics, and playing in a league which was unborn when he started his career.
 Lajoie was born in Providence and will be 40 years old next month. In his youth he piIoted a. cab about the streets of his native city, and his cheerful ''Keb, sir','- can be recalled by many old timers of the Rhode Is land metropolis. When not engaged in transporting people from where they were to where they weren't, Ma poIeon could usually be found on some vacant lot. playing baseball, a game which made a, strong appeal to his active French temperame ent. One day a Providence fan saw Lajoie on the diamond, and, being a man of i'm fuence, he induced the Fall River club to give the F'renchnan a try-out
 As previously remarked, Larry was a bear w1aen it came to swatting the pill He played in the outer garden for Fall River, and did a. fair job of fielding, but it was as 8, batter that he got in his best work. Still, Napoleon might have gone along in the minors for a year or two except for a, piece of good luck. Phil Gier was then ere ating a big sensation in the New Eng land League, and the Phi1lies sent a scout to Fall River to look him over. The scout reported that Gier was the goods, and that Fall River also had a young Frenchrnan named Lajoie who might develop into a good man. The PhilIies offered a good price for Gier, snd the Fall River club threw in La

EARL RUSSELL, SOCIALIST
 NOBLEMAN, FIFTY TODAY

John Francis Stanley, second Earl Russell and the only socialist in the British House of Lords, will pass the ha1f-century mark today. The aris- tocratic socialist has been much in the Hmelight because of his matri- monial experiences. His second wife obtained a divorce from him just a mo onth ago. Earl Russell succeeded to the title in 1878,on the death of his grandfather, Lord John Russell, the famous democrat. He was educat- ed at Oxford, and became an electrical engineer, but afterwards studied and was admitted to the bar. He early in- terested himself in scientific pursuits and social questions, and politically has always been a radical, although it was not until about three years ago that he publicly announced his con version to socialism. The first Countess Russell was Mabel Scott, daughter of Sir John Scott. They were married in 1890, but they soon found that they were uncongenial and the Countess brought suit for a divorce. The Earl obtained a judicial separation, and the judge ordered the plaintiff to pay the entire costs, about $25, ,000. Some years later the Earl came to America and took up his residence in the fa- nous divorce colony at Reno, New, where he was granted a divorce. At Reno he met and married Miss Mo1lie Cooke of Galway, sister-in-IaW of the Bishop of Fillmore and the divorced wife of an electrician named Somer- vile. The second Countess Russell had three children by her first hus- band When the Earl returned to England he was arrested on the charge of bigany. the first Countess Russell alleging that the Reno divorce was not valid in Great Britain. The curts sustained this contention. and the Earl was sentenced to three months in Holloway jail. In 1911 the Lord Chancellor granted a, free par don to the Earl. who then went through a, second cerem ony with the. second Countess They lived together until February of last year, when the socialistie Earl left his wife The Countess obtained a decree for restitu- ton of conjugaI rights, and when this was. ignored by the Earl she was granted a. divorce
