Show I Ohio has a scheme to pension widow. If the pensions are hi'eh enough, they will discourage matrimony. As was anticipated. Orozco found little lit-tle difficulty in getting- out of that "trap." It was too big, and its sides too open. British newspapers don't like the Panama canal law. ro sorry! Bui it ought to have been made much more to their mi?liking than it is. It seems that the Federal hunch can be f hird-teriners on nrcasiou: and B mighty poor occasion at that. What is there to keep covered up in the sheriff's sher-iff's office? W. R. Hearst's call to Penrose, Roosevelt, Roose-velt, Archibold, OorteJyOu. and all concerned, con-cerned, to "tell it all," or he will, is both timely advice and the. best advice. It ie to be hoped that all will act on it. Colonel Roosevelt orders a Progressive Progres-sive candidate in son-in-law L'"ng-worth's L'"ng-worth's district. Thus he at once administers ad-ministers family discipline and shows that his political autocracy is both arbitrary and remorseless. I Collector Loeb, it appears, goes to Roosovolt for leavo and advice about his testimony in respect to the llarri-man llarri-man contribution to the Roosevelt campaign cam-paign fund in 1904. Nice little boy. to do and aay just as he is told. And now Eugene V. Debs has been formally notified of his nomination to the Presidency by the Socialists. He enforces the fact that the Roosevelt Progressives have stolen most of their thunder from the Socialists, and made their platform a Socialist, platform. Members of Congress are in a quandary. quan-dary. If they cease to be members they are not in demand on the Chautauqua Chau-tauqua circuit; if they remain in Congress, Con-gress, the long sessions prevent their lecturing. So they don't know what to do. Perhaps they might "ask Teddy." 1 President Taft has signed the Panama Pan-ama canal bill as it is. There is no doubt, however, that the canal matters would have been put in far better shape if Congress had acceded to the President's Presi-dent's suggestion and put all American vessels on the free list, with the right of suit in the U. S. Supreme Court to ! any foreign, ship owner feeling himself aggrieved. The shrinkage of John W, Gates's I fortune from the popular estimate is I cited by a number of Eastern papers ft as a proof that a popular estimate is m always an exaggeration. But on the 5w other hand many instances could be M& i cited where fortunes largely exceed pBj i current estimates, and often mil- Itfoafr liouairees arc discovered by death, who hHHP were not supposed to be in the mil- BlflBo lionaire class at all. Rtfigjj It has become the habit of the Amer- MliMjl ican people (based upon bitter and ItPtnl disastrous experiences) to dread the Hwjw idea of the clectiou of a Democratic ijrtja President, as likely to smash values Hmm1 am' crusn industry, as the election ot lJEjjjj Cleveland did in 181)2. But quite the ;;H5fH contrary is the expectation in the ele". in!fiP 'on a ftpP"h!ican President; it is mH&Ll taken for granted that good times will $'jjrtj ensue; that business wii be brisk and jftfflQj industry prosperous. The lesson is en ?y tiflH tu rea t'r var' The Secretary of the Minnesota I State Board of Health Miggests a camp I of lepers on the campus of the naive' I eity of that State, so that they can be I Etudicd. He says that such a camp ; would be less dangerous than a Map J of consumptives. But win have either X on a university campus? It can be a counted on with absolute certainty that 3: such an established camp of lepers J would reduce the attendance in the njpi-H njpi-H versity fully half the first year, and if II the camp remained, the other half 31 would go the second year. E9i The London Times expresses me hi opinion thai American ships "aire like 9 all their other manufactures wheu coin- L pared with British products."
