"Where can he find things pleasantcr? Col: Roosevelt's determination to niako no more apneches is satisfactory to tHo country, which will be- still better bet-ter satisfied if he slicks to it. It is astonishing to see the number of rnisHinjj persons called for by their rolatives, and the comparatively few of them who arc found, even by the most strcnuouij efforts. H isn 'I every David that can overthrow over-throw a Goliath; in' fact, so far as recorded, the one case is all. J'phn G. Maekay, .county commissioner of Salt Lake county, is' not likely to repeat as against W. C. Barnes, tariff and nhoop expert who represents' President Taft and . the Tariff Board. And now it is claimed that convincing convinc-ing evidenco of the exrstcnco of man in Europo five hundred thousand years ago is found. And also, that the man .was" not materially different from .man as now known. So thnt tho anthropoid simian chronology, must bo moved in-, definitely backward. , The activities, of Delegate James Wickcrshani of Alaska against Attorney-General George W. Wickcrshamof Xew York; linvtf "stirred up a home mess against tho Delegate that is likely to make him lots of trouble.

And II in order to get him oiit the planners I of the trust had to coax him with in- HI duceinents that made a big addition to HI the "water" in the enterprise. And yet Carnegie says that ho knows noth-ing noth-ing about anv steel trust in this conn- try! A good deal of condemnation has been visited in the Eastern nowspa- H purs on Embassador Wilson because. H as alleged, bo did not rise at n Fourth H of July function in tho City of Merxico when "the American National air" was being played. But "it is now proved that, no such incident occurred. How H stories like this start is a. mystery. Energetic measures are being taken H. in and about San Francisco to prevent the bubonic plague getting a foothold; a vigorous and thorough campaign is H undertaken against rats and squirrels, H which carry the contagion, and indica- H tions arc favorable to the confinement of the disease. Science is doing H great work iu this line. H Billy Sunday, revivalist, says that it H costs $620 to save a soul in Indiunapo- H lis. One hardly knows from this whoth- B or Indianapolis souls arc uncommonly H hnrd to save, or that Billy's pay check H was high beyond all reason.

Jt wi) -be remembered that not H so long ago a New Yorker thought that H t,hc..custoni of. shooting Mayors was" an H admirablo one. It appears-now from Mayor Gaypor's humor, that his com duct had not been unexceptionable, and that this lod to His being justly shot. |
