Show i i J I' is singular that n New Yorker should bo allowed to run up a laundry f bill of $3530. It would bo nioro singular ' J ct if bo should pay it. i) A new record for height in aviation is reported, a IVenehinau making the great record of 18,372 feet, which is , a marvelous height lo reach. J Xow York papers are asking what is Mayor Gaynor'a policy with regard 1 to the police scandals. The chief trou- I hie about his policy seems to be that I he hasn't any. i Colonel Roosevelt, in sneering at Gov- ( eruor Wilson for his lack of experience, rccms to forget that there are some ' kinds of experience that it is bolter j3' lor a man not to have. t , -Mayor Gaynor saya tljat he has ! worked for thu reform of New York City. It might be possiblo to show K that bis work has had somo effect, but )' it would be hard to show. I i , The tremendous amount of new wheat fl 'i slnpmonts iu Uinnoaota, breaking nil-records, nil-records, indicates an enormoutf and itn- j pcrutive demand as well as a rccord- 'e lircnkiug supply. It also shows that ' there is ample wheat and that plenty i of cars arc available to mcot the im-nicnso im-nicnso market requirement. Speaking of thu newly elected Gov- ' ernor of Maine, "Mr. Huines wroto i to me that he was for Me and that he ! would come out for Us after the clec- i t ion," pays the Colonel. "I have never , jvet indicated whether I shall support I Mr, KoosevelL or Mr. 'fa ft. in the com- i jng contest," says Governor-Elect ' Haines. And there you are, again. President Madero says that ho has llio Mexican rebellion "well in hand." i The evidenco is about as conclusive as was John Phoenix's great roport of his victory over an irato subscriber in the oftice of the San Diego Suu, whun he reported that he had his antagonist , down and was holding him fast with his nose, which he had inserted between fl the foe's teeth fur that purpose. Thu following advertisement np- , I pears in a Huflalo paper: "Wantcu j Notaries and commissioners of deeds ' tto circulate petitions for tho National Progressive party; evening work; good ' pay." Thu statement that a Prosidon- t tial campaign increases prosperity' .is I not an idle boast in somo cases, says J the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and ( hrouiclc. But what, then, becomes of the cry that the Bull Moosers arc short ' of money' So Mr. .1. 13ruco fsinay is to retire ' from the directorate of the White Star j line of steamships. In connection with l ihis aiiiiounccmcnt it is stated that the 1 "White Star lino will no longer bo so J prominent in the management of tho Hj !s International Mercantile Marine Com- i pa3 which is a New Jersey corpora- tion with a capital of $120,000,000, most j of which is held by Americans, and is Hj J controlled principally by John P. Mor- j g-iii. The wreck of the Titanic dragged i Mr. Ismay down. ( The Colonel proceeds on tho assump- tion all through, that every one else, j and,, especially those who refuse to fol- low him into his third-term parti', lj must be governed by the most rigorous V rules of conscience, of precedent, and j of morality; but that as 'for him- I self, he must bo allowed to disregard i them all, not only with impunity, but f' with applause; and that cvory viola-. viola-. tion of agreement, every transgression of political moralitj-, every bit of sharp practice, must be made to add yet another ray to his halo. ' j Speaking of somo curious results of the Ohio constitutional election, the Cleveland Plain Dealer says of one: 4 ''But even if one wcro able by great j ingenuity to devise a satisfactory ex- 1 planation for all the other defeats, ono ' must confess himsolf beaten in an ef- fort to explain the rejection of amend-mcnt amend-mcnt No. 2. This merely proposed to write, out of our sixty-four-yoar-old I constitution the prohibition against ne-groes ne-groes voting a provision utterly with-f with-f nut force or effect and standing only as a reminder of the days beforo tho . war. And the amendment for this " was rejected by 22,903 (eighty-seven j counties). If thcro is any explanation i of such a vote, it caunot be compli- mentuiy to those who voted nogativoly on tho proposal." |
