just what the present projects Of the
Thompson committee are:

things in this corner OF the State to be
submitted to Mr.. THOMPSON for his APP
prevail or rejection In whole or In part
CURIOUS.
NEW YORK CITY, May IS"
The prime purpose of the Thompson
committee was accomplished when the
Public Service Commissioners in Office
Mt the time OF Its creation were ex.
truded from their Jobs. The secon-
dairy objects were nOt fully attained
in the appointments made by Gov
ernor WHITMAN to I'll the vacancies.
His selections disappointed the Sena-
tor from Middleport and in exact
proportion pleased the public.
Since the fulflment of it's original
task the committee has been a con-
stan source of wOnderment and mys-
tification. At present we do not
know who is supporting 1t or what the
Interior design Of these philanthro-
pists is. We do not know whether the
theatre tickets of its members are
paid for out of its common fund or
from what source its taXicabs are de-
rived. We are ignorant of the treat
ment accorded To It's stcnOgraphers at
the present moment. No recent per-
sOnGl transactions between it's mcm
bers and public utility corporations
have lately beer disclosed to us.
Whether it has recently put in n falsi-
fled bill for hotel accommodations has
not been revealed.
Eventually these things will he px-
posed. and THE Sun will duly re-
cord them. In the meantime. II our
correspondent learns the answers to
his W questions we request him to
communicate them to us. for we are
not less curious about this strange
p"liticO-economical phenomenon than
Mr.. CURIOUS is.

The American in THEODORE ltoOsE-
WELT spoke yesterday at Detroit, and
therefore It was THEODORE ROOSEVELT
at his best who spoke. This virilc
citizen and loyal lover Of his country
has rendered few greater public SER
vices than to formulate thus in
straightforward sentences, in incon-
trovertible statement. In phrases as
felicitously apt and as strikingly
strong rs any orator Of Americanism
has In recent times emitted. the
broad doctrine Of adequate prepare
tion for defence and undivided ale
glance to the flag. 1t Is The Suns
doctrine, and It Is the doctrine which
every American ought to hold and

poets can he summed up in less than
a dozen words they are sharply con-
centrated in the proposition which we
have put ut the head OF this edi-
tOrial article.

Colonel ROOSEVELT declared that he
did not wish to be nominated for a
third term as President and was in
terested solely in the triumph Of
those principles for which with all
his heart and soul he vas contending.
He said substantially the same thing
at Detroit yesterday. with the Re-
publican and Progressive conventions
only eighteen days away.
Why should not the country accept
at full value his repeated protesta-
tions of absolute personal disinter-
estelnr>s? The policy he enunciates.
the principles lie proclaims are not
of his private possessions; are not
uInoig his political assets. as the
phrase - q are not even of his own
creation. They are fundamental to
the republics being. Indispensable to
Its existence. In their reStatement at
this critical time Colonel ROOSEVELT
has merely contributed his native en-
ergy, his n%nrivalled perception Of the
workings of the average mans mind,
his dauntless courage of utterance and
deed. He has said that which we
all believe and should all be ready to
say IL we are worthy Of u splendid
national heritage.

The SIN, we are sure. will not be

litical purpose. We may therefore
freely confess our admiration not

THIS grand old man of eighty years
stranger is to caitiff fears.
Throughout long and busy life,
his daily diet has been strife; new perils
came with every dawn-big perils with
the bark still on.
Back in the sixties, when big loads of
gold went Ger the mountain roads, beside
the driver he would ride, armed to the
teeth and falcon-eyed. And every deadly
circumstance that you will find in red ro-
nance to him is but an ancient tale; he
played with Death till Death grew stale.
He's fought with every kind of rough
that made the "early days" dead tough.
Road agents tried to get his wad and left
their bones upon the sod. Red Injuns
camped upon his trail, to get his scalp,

Hold-the-Fort Aaron
By WALT MASON

1t ,vas dark, cold night. Seven armed
men held up the express car in charge
of aaron 4. Ross, set it on fire, and
from the bushes began pumping lead
into it, hoping that one bullet or another
might find aaron. Inside the car,
aaron, Nth his ,rusty rifle, hinged back
at them. All night long the fight kept
up. and in the morning a squad of
soldiers rescued aaron. Hence the name
"Hold-the.Fort aaron" Hence also this
immortality conferred by Mr.. Mason.
without avail Train bandits, in the later
times, have tried to swipe his box of
dimes. He's guarded millions in his day,
and not nickel got away. Oh, he has
looked in Dangers eyes as often as you've
swatted flies.
This happened back in 'S2: A bold and
vicious robber crew designed to rob rail-
way train, with Aaron in the treasure
vain. That car the robbers made sight
by blowing it with dynamite. And Aaron
by the treasure knelt, with gun and am
munition-belt, and, while the long hours
dragged away, he held that robber crew
at bay. Hour after hour they shot at him,
with eager and unholy vim. Thrice
wounded, still he piled his gun, and
wounded two, and finished one, till in the
morning, cold and gray, some soldiers
blew along that way, and found him in
an evil plight, believed with blood, but
full of fight.
He much enjoyed that long nights
sport. Since then they call him Hold
the-Fort."
Like most brave fellows who have done
fine things, and admiration won, he hates
about himself to talk; he'd rather take
ten-mile walk, or hide himself in yonder
weeds, than speak about his knightly
deeds. Brave, modest, true as tested steel
this sort of man makes strong appeal.

hundred and fifty chayotes on vine, and
the flavor is excellent. The fruit can be
cooked in score of ways.
Then there is the udo, which is being
cultivated to take the place of asparagus,
which it strongly resembles. However,
both the tip and the stalk of the udo can
be eaten, and each has a different flavor.
The plant can be used in variety of ways
the stalks creamed and served as a
vegetable, the tips used for salad. In
Japan, where the plant is native, it is
eaten raw. 1t is very inexpensive.
A yang-taw fruit sounds uncertain
very much like Chinese, which it is;
the yang-taw vine grows in the valley of
the Yang-tse. But it is also growing sue
cessfully here. The fruit can be used as
filling for pies, or the juice can be distilled
into refreshing drink.

Agriculture is the tangelo-a composite of
