How to Compromise.

The Republicans are willing to compromise
with the Progressves, but it doesn't look to them
as if an agreement Mr.. Roosevelt were a COM
promise. 1t looks more like an abject sur
render How seriously, for example, would the
Progressives regard a proposal to compromisc-
on Prof Taft? There isn't much chance of getting
the two factions together any candidate strong
ly reminiscent of 1912. The offer of Mr.. Roose-
welt by the Progressives is too much like the d-
vision of the, fruits of the hunt proposed by the
paleface Lo, the poor Indian: take the buzzard
and I'll take the turkey, I'll take the turkey and
you can have the Observation-Disclosures Record

Not long afterward the met the temptation
again, seemingly by chance.
The temptation smiled.
The man smiled, too.
"Im sure we've met before" said the tempta-
ton
81 remember your face" said the young man.
They had pleasant chat and they parted
81 ought not to have spent my time so fool
ishly," said the young man and, frowning, he
looked at his watch. He felt annoyed He shook
his shoulders and he walked little faster as if to
make up for lost time.

"Jim" Mann as a Prophet,

Representative James R. Mann is less impress
sive when he essays the role of prophet than when
preaching straight out Americanism. He thinks
the probable enemy against which the United
States must prepare is Great Britain rather than
Germany. DR.. Mary Walker cites Japan as the
more likely menace, and her look into the future
deserves as much respect that of the Republican
leader of the House However, neither the one
prophecy nor the other need bother anybody. At
tempts to identify probable possible enemies are
as foolish they are futile-New York Herald

The wolf was standin gat my door
Indulging in an awful roar,
And when he knocked it pleased my whim
To go outside and throttle him;
And as we fought he gave a cough,
And shivered, and his skin came off
And who dye think he chanced to be?
No one but OPPORTUNITY,
Right there before my very eyes
Hid underneath a wolfsh guisel

A Profound Economist.

Senator Williams informs Senator Hoke Smith
that cotton is worth 1896 cents per pound in the
Memphis market, or than it would be if
peace came tomorrow. But Hoke Smith, a pro-

could be poured into Germany the price there
would remain at its famine figure of 80 to 40 cents

Cha mpiOns of Militia.

Militia influences have killed the
continental army plan of the War De-
partment. and from the same source
will probably be presented the subsu-
tute which Congress is destined to
view with favor.
Militia officers, who are in the city
in expectation of being heard by the
House Military Committee, are pre-
pared to claim that with proper en-
couragement in the way of pay and
equipment the militia will produce
force of 100000 men. equivalent to
that contemplated within three years
as the enlisted strength of the con-
tinental army; that this ultimate body
can be made readily available for Fed
eral purposes to any extent desired
or necessary under the Constitution
by the simple process of an individual
obligation imposed upon every man
and officer who enters the militia
service; that this can be accomplished
without recourse to the draft or any
other process than the automatic
transfer of individuals in orEaniza-
tions with the commissioned personnel
in time of war or threatened war at
the call of the President; that the pay
will be much less than the cost of any
other scheme, being in the case of the
officers from Is to 20 per cent of army
base pay and in the case of enlisted
men some such sum as 81 per drill
with limitation upon total individual
payment; that the militia would re-
main as State force until the emer-
gency arises with no obligation to the
Federal government other than that
of being properly trained in time of
peace.
This is the representation which will
be made to the military committees.
The militia campaign has already
been put into operation. and it will be
persistently and skillfully conducted.
the more so now that the Secretary
of War and Gen. Leonard Wood be-
fore the Senate Military Committee
and in public addresses in New York
have declared war against the militia
and sought to demonstrate its unre-
liability as military asset" There
will be some interesting hearings
along this line.

By coincidence they met the next day. The
temptation acted if it did not feel the least hurt
Instead of being less agreeable than it had been
before it was more agreeable They had long
talk.
As they parted the temptation said: Now l
feel as if we had really become friends" and the
man replied: 81 hope shall always be friends
From that day they were often together.
Gradually those interested in the welfare OF the
young man began to be disturbed. Among them
there was good deal of talk about the temptation.
Some of them urged others of them to speak to
the young man.
But they all hesitated.
He would never forgive us" said one
At last however, did speak
The man listened sullenly
Then he said: "You don't understand. If you
did you wouldn't speak in this way. If you care
anything about my friendship you'll never do it
again"
