Hon quickly t lie heathen learn our H - Christian ways of brotherly love! ffi f ' It begins lo look more and more as H though Bryan would be "drafted." as HH tho Democrat who could poll the big- Htt g' ;est. vole of auy of tlie candidates. ' . . . i ' Five hundred saloons have pone out H M of business in Chicago, for the reason Hi -.that their business didn't pay. Jiut there arc yet plenty, that pay too well. H ?J " H When Col. Koo.sevelt says that all Br : this political 'crooks are against him, Kj r it is clear that special definitions for H words aro invented; unless, indeed, he i. means that being against him is in I itself, political crookedness. k The curious compromise in Marv-H Marv-H jy land that cave Taft men half of the delegation, with instructions to vole HI for J?ooacvolt. gave Taft men the Na- tional committeeman, who has more :ie- tual political power than -all the delo-l- L'atos combined. The new battleship Texas is Wm launched, the greatest of American I- dreadnoughts.

Ti'oosevelt, is evidently obsessed with tlie idea thai he is bound to be the " b'epublican candidate for President, this Bj ' vear. 11c is tho only one fit. for the K oltice, ho maintains, and is suuc to have HI i- mind is so disordered that he Hi .'r has become a monomaniac on the sub" H '! iect. If Hie tremendous overplus of He- J publican votes as comphrcd with Dein- u oci:alic voles, as shown at (lie pri- ; inarics, could be relied on at thc elec- ' lion in November, - the Republicans HH might have two or three candidates, and Hyj J0'- oversize the highest Democratic HE ' candidate with cither of them. Hi The Olympic sailed twenty-two days U late from .Southampton, and after full jj life-saving apparatus was put in. and H exercises in lifeboat drill.

H President Taft in his final speeches M in Ohio showed that l?oosevelt while H he was President named commissions unlawfully. J, js really no news, how- HS ever, to hear this; for Roosevelt paid small attention to the law when ho was Hyj Presidcut. but went right along doing H as he pleased : and if the law was in his way, why then so much the worse HH fur the law, H Democrats who so genu rally have- HB hceu voting for Jtoosuvclt at tlie jri- HH maries have evidently lost sight of the H fact that they have a candidate of H their own to nominate and have let the H choice of delegations no bv default in HI their nartv. The result is likely to be H that no prominent candidate will really H have the strength which the delegate H -sunnort ho can rally would promise, HH since the election in so many cases IH went by default.

HI It appears to be pretty thoroughly HH proved by the British investigation, HB as 'l wag l,ia(lc Probable by the Aincrl- H fan investigation, that the stonmnr Hjn 'alifornian was in plain sight of the flHl Titanic when she was in distress and MK firing signal rocked; that her officers JtI3 s-aw the signals, and that they knew r VC3SC' wns in trouble; but that they t neglected flic rail of humanit. and jH steamed awa., leaving IGlii) human beings to find a watery grave. It is a shocking exhibition of callous indifference in-difference and inhuman disregard of obvious duty. |
