except rain on south coast, with fresh
southeast winds.
Ah, Well; there is still some reasort

A number of football games are on the

Now, will Senator Fairbanks resign*
He has got that other Job cinched and
there is really no necessity for him to
hold longer on to the first one.
Tillman will have to wield something
niore formidable than a pitchfork if he

On the very day of his election he re

one ostrich and two monkeys, and from
an admirer In the West one laughing
jackass. However, laughing jackasses
are no novellty in Washington. Num
bers of them are to be seen at every
presidential reception.
Well, the tariff Is lri the hands of Its
friends. A number of the leaders of
the Republican party have acknowl
edged that the tariff needs to be re
formed. But are they going to reform
It? It 1b safe to answer In the nega
tive. The bosses will say that the
country has ordered the party to "stand
pat” on the Dingley rates. And In the
meantime thie cost of living will mount
higher and higher..
The United States are having a good
daal of trouble with the Panama Lot
tery Oompuny. The company insists
upon carrying on Its business In the
canal zone and the United States au
thorities are of the opinion It has no
light to do so, as the laws of the
United State* make lotteries unlaw
ful. Several knotty questions, which
the United States Supreme Court will
have to settle, have been presentd.
One of the remarkable victories of
Tuesday’s election wus wort by the
shoe mujnurhotmer, Doukla**, of Mas
sachusett. Mr. Douglass was the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, and
although the state went for KoOsevblt
by a plurality of nearly 90,900, Douf
l*ss was elected by a plurality air over
*6,000. He m*d* a campaign that ap-
I>ealed strongly to the voters, and, con
trary to the general i-rpecttttton, lie
was a winner.
tx HASTE FOR I XEW PARTY.
Melvin G. Palliser, who managed Mr.
Watson’s campaign, was very prompt
to get before the public with an an
nouncement that anew party would be
formed by Mr. Bryan, Mr. Watson and
Mr. Hearst. According to his state
ment the foregoing gentlemen will have
a meeting for that purpose within a
few davs.
it would be interesting to know
whether Mr. Palliser spoke by authori
ty when he made his announcement.
If he did the conclusion is that Mr.
Bryan, Mr. Watson and Mr. Hearst
were not in sympathy with their respec
tive parties during the campaign that
has just closed, and, therefore. Mr.
Bryan could not have Been entirely
sincere in his advocacy of Mr. Parker's
election. We prefer to believe, how
ever, that Mr. Bryan was sincere.
But if Mr. Bryan, Mr. Watson and
Mr. Hearst should have a conference
to lay the foundation for anew party
would they take the Populist platform
as a basis for their action or the
Democratic platform? It is a safe
statement they wouldn’t take the Dem
ocratic platform. Neither Mr. Watson
nor Mr. Bryan would agree to all of
its declarations, and it is doubtful if
Mr. Hearst would, although he has just
been elected to Congress as a Demo
crat. Would they take the Populist
platform? If they should, what chance
would they have for securing much of
a following? The Democrats are not
going to becortie Populists. They could
hot be induced to accept Populist doc
trines even under another name.
Perhaps tHe three men aim to
get control of the Democratic party
and reorganize it in accordance with
their views. If it is, It Is safe to pre
dict they will not meet with a great
deal of success. Mr. Bryan had the
making of the Democratic platform in
1896 and 1900, arid he was repudiated
by the people. There is ho reasori for
thinking they Would elect him or ariy
man designated by him in 1908.
Perhaps Mr. Palliser made his an
nouncement without authority, being
anscious to get his name in the news
papers. He didn’t have much promi
nence during the campaign and may
have felt he could gain a littlb noto
riety by announcing the morning after
the election that anew party would
be formed, it might be welt for him,
and also for Mr. Bryan and Mr. Wat
son, to remember that the Democratic
party is too old and too deeply rooted
in the hearts or title people to be
shelved by them or any other coterie
of politicians.
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
So much was said about the use of
money contributed by trusts in the
presidential campaign that a law re
quiring ail Contributions to national
political commltt“es to be made
public would meet with general
favor. Mr. Bourke Cookran stated
a day or two ago that he would
Introduce such a bill immediately after
the assembling of Congress. If he
should carry out this promise he would
have the support of the great major
ity of the people. There is doubt of
course whether Congress has author
ity to enact a law requiring the doings
of national campaign Committees to
be scrutinized and rtiade public, but if
the effort Is made It is probable that a
way will be found to accomplish What
the public desire, namely, that xhe
scandal growing out of the use of trust
money in national elections shall be
checked.
It was charged In the campaign
that has just closed that the Repub
licans had as much as $5,000,000 to in
fluehce voters, the most of which was
contributed by great corporations. Ev
ery one of the contributing corpora
tions doubtless expects a favor for its
money 1 Some of them expect that
there will be laxity in the enforcement
of the anti-trust law and others ex
pect . tariff or other legislation by
which they will be benefited. No one
of them contributed money merely for
the sake of having the party it assist
ed victorious,
In England there Is a law prohibit
ing corporations from contributing to
campaign funds. Parliament, however,
has control of such matters. The
control of elections by means of cor
poration money became so scandalous
that Parllameht was compelled to take
notice of it.,
If the subject Is brought up In Con
gress, public opinion sufficiently strong
may be created to force state legisla
tures to act In the matter if It is
found that that body Is without au
thority to enact the necessary legisla
tion. Naturally, the proposed legis
lation will have to be suggested by the
minority party, as the majority party
would hardly like to admit that large
contributions asslted It In winning the
election, but If Mr. Coekrnn should In
troduce a bill requiring that all con
tributions to national campaign com
mittees be made public the Republi
cans wouldn’t dare to oppose it.
A reign of terror has been Instituted
In a suburb of Cincinnati by a series
of crimes of the "Jack the Ripper"
type. The victims of this new and ter
rible “ripper” are always women,
eleven of whom he has attacked and
killed or seriously wounded In a short
while within a radius of half a mile.
Notwithstanding the vigilance of the
police and the efforts of the men or
the eomrnunity, the fiend has escaped
detection so far. It Is the police the
ory that It Is a crazy man who Is
committing the crimes. But, crazy or
hot, he deserves death.
The famous Scotch verdict has been
discounted by the verdict of a Jury in
Philadelphia- A man was on trial
charged with having stolen an over
coat. The Jury, after hearing the evi
dence and deliberating half an hour,
returned the verdict, "Not guilty, pro
vided h* pays for the overcoat.” The
Judge was highly Indignant, refused
to kreept the verdict kfid simt the Jury
out to make up a proper verdict. Aft
er Another half hour's deliberation u
verdict of hot guilty wue brought In.
Ho far as the Information goes, Dr,
Hwallow and Eugene Debs are still
running. Mr. Watson, It seems, le
packing his trunk to go to New York
to accept an editorial position.
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 10. 1904.
MR. ROOSEVELT’S AX TOYS LEM EXT.
Mr. Roosevelt’s statement that he
will not be a candidate for President
again is a notice to the politicians of
his party that he intends to follow his
own judgment in the administration of
his office as wed as a statement to
the country that he thinks he will
have had practically two terms when
he has completed the one to which
he has Just been elected and that he
believes in the two-term tradition;
The leaders of his party have found
him hard to manage, and if they could
have had their way he wouldn’t have
been the party’s nominee for President.
Now thht he has been elected, and
feels that he has the indorsement of
the country he will, more than ever,
be inclined to do as he pleases.
No doubt his aim will be to make
such a record that will entitle him to
be regarded as one of tire great Pres
idents. The South is interested in this
record to the extent of knowing how
he will deal with matters which con
cern her particularly.
Will it be his purpose to force the
negro to the front, or will he recog
nize the fact that it is practically im
sossible for two races, one superior
to the other —races which are separate
and distinct—to occupy the same ter
ritory in peace and harmony if they
exercise the same political rights? The
way is open to him to be of great Serv
ice to the South, and, that too, without
being in any respect unjust to the
negro. It is only necessary for him to
act in accordance with a common
sense view of the situation. If, how
ever, he undertakes to lead his party
In the direction of legislation that has
for its object political and social equal
ity for the negro, he can do the South
an incalculable amount of harm with
out doing the negro any good.
What the South has thus far done
towards limiting the right of the ne
gro to vote she has done for the pur
pose of self-preservation. She didn't
do it to insure political power to any
political party or because of race ha
tred. Experience had taught her that
with the way open for the negro to
eoritrol in municipal, bounty and state
affairs her prosperity was doomed. She
would be shunned by the class of Im
migrants she desired. Even her own
people would desert her, and the fair
est section of the country would sink
to the level of the countries con
trolled by inferior faces.
Having been chosen President with
out the aid of the politicians of his
parly, Mr. Roosevelt is free to admin
ister the government in such a way
that all sections of the country will
feel the beneficent effect of his ad
ministration, and no class of people
will have cause to complain. If, how
ever, he determines to be guided by
the views of the extremists of his par
ty he will close his political career with
the 111 'will of at least one great sec
tion of the country and perhaps with
out much regret from other sections,
because the business interests of all
sections are pretty closely bound to
gether.
AX' INTERESTING QUESTION.
J. SamUel McCue, ex-Mayor of
; Charlottesville, Va.’, who was convict
ed of murder in the first degree a day
or two ago, carries about $70,000 of
life insurance, and the companies
which issued the polices are in-doubt
as to whether or not they will have to
pay them in the event of the execu
tion of McCue. That he will be
hanged there doesn’t seem to be much
doubt. While it is true that the ev
idence produced against him was
wholly circumstantial it was strong
and convincing. McCue's victim was
his wife, and the evidence showed that
he had on several occasions threatened
to take her life.
But why should the insurance com
panies have any doubt about their lia
bility in the event of McCue’s death
on the scaffold? Only oiie of the pol
icies has a clause in it declaring it
void In the event that the holder of
it dies from an act of Justice, and
that one was issued by a Virginia
company, but the chances are the
courts wouldn't sustain the company
If It should refuse to pay.
So few of the class of people that
patronize life insurance companies are
victims of the extreme penalty of the
law that, apparently, the companies
have not thought it advisable to at
tempt to relieve themselves of liabil
ity when their policy holders suffer
death as a penalty for a crime. No
doubt there have been murderers ex
ecuted who held life policies of Insur
ance, but the number Is so small that
it would hardly be worth the while of
the insurance companies to attempt
to escape liability In such cases. Pol
icy holders who commit murder have
no Intention of defrauding the Insur
ance companies, and, hence, the com
panies have nothing to complain of.
McCue’s children would be objects
of charity If he should be executed
unless the life Insurance policies
should be paid. His means were ex
hausted by his trial. It Is a pretty
safe assumption that the companies
will have to pay the policies on Mc-
Cue’s lffie in the event of hts execu
tion.
A New York newspaper sent a let
ter to Us correspondent In Colutnbia
Instructing him to “send early the
result of the election in South Caro
lina,” meaning of course that the re
port should be filed with the telegraph
company as, early as possible on
Tuesday night. But the correspond'eiit
didn't wait for Tuesday. On Monday
night he wired: "South Carolina
went Democratic, to-morrow by the
usual large majority.” There’s no
use trying to get a scoop ort a corre
spondent like that.
Negotiations are under way looking
to the taking over of all quarantine
matters in South Carolina by the fed
eral government. Just when the trans
fer will be made has not been deter
mined. but It Is expected that before
spring the service will be In the hands
of the Murine Hospital Service. Ths
methods to be pursued In South Car
olina will ba prm IP ally the spine as
those followed when Savannah and
Florida relinquished their quaiantlne
to the general government.
At Lissa, In the province of Posen,
Germany, the other day a schoolboy
of thirteen years, In conversation with
some of the other pupils, made some
remarks about the neutrality of the
German government in the Russo-
Japanese war, and expressed the opin
ion that the Emperor's attitude was
wrong. The child was arrested and
tried on a charge of “lese majeste”
and sentenced to prison for three
months. At Blankenburg, in the Hartz
mountains, a week ago, during a har
vest festival, while • the loyal subjects
of his Majesty were shouting, “Hoch
der Kaiser!” one old woman was heard
to shout, “Hoch Gott!” Agents of the
police at once surrounded her and de
manded to know why she should hur
rah for God while others were hurrah
ing for the Emperor. She replied that
even the Emperor himself conceded
that God came first. The police were
horrified at this gross example of "lese
majeste" and hauled her before a
magistrate, where she was convicted
and sentenced to pay a fine of ten
marks or serve ten days In jail. An
appeal was taken to the Emperor In
the matter, but he did not reply to it.
Incidents like the foregoing tend to
show what militarism means. They
should be of Interest to the American
people, who have just elected to the
presidency a man who is decidedly
militaristic in tendencies.
A feature of the campaign just end
ed, and one never developed before,
was the large amount of advertising
done by the Republican Campaign
Committee in magazines, newspapers
and other periodicals. Some of the
standard magazines, in their October
and November issues, contained sev
eral pages of attractively written ad
vertising matter setting forth the
claims of the Republican party. The
matter appeared in the advertising de
partments niarked and displayed as
other advertisements were, so that there
was nothing about it to carry the idea
of editorial indorsement. There are
reasons for thinking that such appeals
to the public were more effective than
the so-caiied spellbinding. Tens of
•thousands of persons read the adver
tisements In the quiet of their homes
of evenings, after supper, and the ar
guments made a more lasting impres
sion than Would have been made by
the vaporlngs of a stump speaker;

CURRENT comment.
The Washington Post (Ind.) says;
“Congressman W. BoUfke Cockran
promises to introduce a bill in Con
gress providing that campaign com
mittees shall make public the., names
of contributors and the amounts con
tributed to the campaign committees.
It will naturally be referred to the

The New York 'ft’orid (Dem.j says;
“On 1, 1897, it cost at wholesale

for the average person In thq United
States. On Sept. 1, 1904, after seven
years of Republican rule, It took $48.78
—an increase of $14.07, or over 40 per
cent. The retail increase, q( course,
was much more, but the mere whole
sale cost of the food of an ordinary

“ Talking about fright and gray
hairs,” said a traveling man, accord
ing to the New York Press, “my hair
never came so near turning white in
a single night as it did a couple of
weeks ago when I was in a town in
one of the wildest patches of country
in the West I entered a cafe and
started In to ingratiatje myself with
the boys, and was getting along fine.
“There was one old fellow who hung
around the bar a great deal and
seemed to have everybody scared. I
made up my mind that he was a chap
I wanted to have on my side, so I
started in and made Up to him the
best I knew how. I told him all the
funny stories I knew. Every time he
laughed everybody else laughed, and
when he didn’t seem to like it there
was a general attack of the blues. Aft
er awhile as hard as a story himself. I
laughed as hard as I could and slapped
him on the shoulder and said:
“ 'l've heard of you before.’
“‘You have?’ said he, looking sus
picious all of a sudden.
“ ‘Yes,’ said I, ‘and you're all right.
You’re a bird!”
“I never saw such a swift change
of scenery in my life. The floor was
cleared all of a sudden and all the oc
cupants of the place except the old
man and myself were looking up from
behind tables. He had a six-shooter
pointed at me, and if his finger had
trembled I’d have been the subject for
‘a dearest Willie, thou hast left us,’
piece of poetry then and there. Just
then a young girl rushed into the

“this is about Chapter 111. She ex
claimed: ‘Spare him! Spare him for

"No. She didn’t sgy anything of the

Auntie AYn* Old*
In the days of Barnum an old “aun
tie” lived In East Tennessee who was
reputed to be of great age, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. Like all of her
kind, she was extremely proud of the
distinction, and never underestimated
her age in the least. She had out
grown that Weakness decades past.
Barnum heard of her. and conclud
ing that if she was as old as rilmor
made her she would be a valuable, ac
quisition to his shoiy, he sent an agent
down to make an investigation. She
caught the direction of the wind very
promptly,. and was prepared for any
test question that might be asked.
Gradually the agent led up to the
crucial interrogatory, and at last said:
“Aunty, do you remember George
Washington?”
“Does I remember George Wash
ington? W’v, laws-a-massy, mistah, I
reckon i does. I orter, orient I? Fer

“Yes—well, how about 'the fall of
the Roman empire? Do you recollect
anything about that?"
The old woman took a good, long
breath In fact, it amounted to a sigh.
She reflected for a few moments, and
said:

The proprletdh of a large office build

of a man with a valise, says the
Youth s Companion. “Don’t you want

“No, I don’t,” interrupted the pro

“You don’t?”
“That's ,whajt I said.”
“I saw no sign to that effect.”
“Well, you’ll see one the next time

“In that case,” rejoined the man,
opening his valise with alacrity, "you

Here he delayed a neatly painted
card over a foot long and nearly as
wide, with this inscription, in large
letters:
"No Peddlers or Canvassers Allowed

In recognition of his caller's clever

A Rlmiml v n m tit up of RiaHpntlon.
William Waidorf Astor, before he
set opt for his English home, said,
according to an exchange, apropos of
the Russo-Japanese War:
“Nations engaged In war not only
harm each other, but they lay them

"Why, Ferdle," the queen replied,

CHANCES IN RACING.
From the New York Press.
Years ago I figured out that there
are twenty-seven chances against a
man's winning a bet on a racehorse to
1 In his favor. Mike Dwyer, who has
bet more money than all the rest of
our plungers put together, says the
odds are 81 to 1. They were not in
the good old days of the Dwyer con
federacy, when Mike and Brother Phil
swept the turf. Everything was
cinched for them, and the cinching was
done without collusion. The chances
must have been nearly even, for when
the Butcher Boys entered a horse and
bet on him other owners and trainers
threw up their hands, acknowledging
defeat before the flag fell. It became
a habit to follow the Dwyers for first
money and pick a long shot for the
place.
But the Dwyers dissolved partnership
and their winning career came to an
abrupt end. The ordinary bettor, go
ing to the track to speculate on a big
handicap, finds eleven horses in the
race. He understands that Ukah is a
cinch. Down goes his wad, and it is
all over but the shouting. But he nev
er considers that there are ten horses
against him. all leveled up by the offi
cial handicapper. There are ten
chances against his one to start with,
and before the numbers are hoisted at
the finish there are .others: (11). Is
his horse trained to the hour’ (12). Is
the track to his liking? (13). Is he
properly placed? (14). Does his jockey
Want to win? (15). Will the starter
leave him at the post? (16). Will he
get off well? (17). Will thb jockey
race him to a standstill out in front?
(18). Will the Jockey strangle him and
get shut out? (19). Will he escape
cutting down? (20). Will he escape
jostling?
Looks like a regular old lead pipe,
doesn’t It. so far? But go on: (21),
Did the trainer give him a little Water
Or hay? (22).. Was the betting all
right? (23). Will he lose a lead pad?
(24). Will the judges place him first
at the finish? (25). Will there be a
disqualification TOr foul? (26). Will
the stewards decide that he was not
eligible for. the race? (27). Will the
bookmaker welch? (28). Will the
Stewards find a pretext for declaring
all beta oft? Now, here are twenty
eight chances against success. By
fishing around vve could find others,
such as (29). Will the jockey go to
sleep and be hipped, on the post, etc.?
But it is.great fun to. gamble.
TROUBLES OF THE 110 WLEGGEO.
From American Medicine.
The troubles- Of the" bowlegged are
without number and end! What actor,
no matter how great his talent, could
succeed if he were bowlegged? Wllat
lover Could win his suit were he fiddly
so afflicted? So long ,as he remained
upon his horse the cavalryman or offi
cer would be at, no. disadvantage, and
his trouble would be unrecognized. But
lie must at times dismount—and then
lie would be undone! The examining
surgeons, however, will not let him en
ter the army, and sb the military ca
reer is impossible for him. Why is
this?. Shall, a matter solely of looks
disbar the hero? Is war governed by
purely aesthetic principles? Evidently
the "curve of beauty” and “the I’a
phlan line” are not included or illus
trated in the parabolas of extrorsurtt.
But why pot? Will any one support tile
contention that Genu Varum cannot
drill, march and shoot Just as well as
Genu Valgum, or even as Genu Erec
tum? It is said that many protests
ha,ve been made to the United States
army authorities against the rule that
the soldier's legs must be straight.
Falstaff’s army was made ridiculous,
not by lack of valor, but by the abnor
mal curves of their legs. The Peace
Congress should devote some attention
to this. If the prejudice is justified,
and I? they could get the government
to rescind Its ruling concerning bow
legs. (.here might result a scientific ex
perlttifht Which would be conclusive —
defeat Is the HtiUl test In war—and
demonstrate the truth or falsity of the
prejudice in a conclusive way. Possi
bly, however, by sheer reaction the
Valgums and Varums would be nerved
to exceptional bravery and ability in
order to show the falsity of the popular
prejudice, atid to illustrate a striking
reduetio ad absurduni.
RYLE OF PROPERTY AAIONG IN
DIANS.
From the Washington Post.
The Thlingit Indians make up two
thirds of the total population of Sitka,
which Is not above 1,206 souls. They
have always been and are to-day a
self-supporting people. They build
their own houses, being their own
architects and carpenters, working in
sawmills, logging camps, canneries and
In the mines. The Governor of Alaska,
John G. Brady, says the women are
not degraded, but, on the contrary,
are quite the equals of mep, The \y|fe

ters and for the most part has her way,
They accumulate a very considerable
sum each year as wages, from the sale
of furs, baskets, silver jewelry and
cqrlos. They have lived Und,er welt
defined rules and customs. Blit these
are not In accord with American laws.
For Instance, when a man dies his
wife and children do not inherit his
property. The children belong to the
clan of the mother. The father’s heirs
wilt he his brothers and sisters. A son
of the sister Is often scleoW-d and
brought up by the uncle. When he
dies this,, nephew takes his uncle’s
name, his wife, his property—in fact,
literally steps Into his moccasins. It
is no uncommon sight in Sitka to see
a prosperous yoyng fellow with a wife
old enough to be his mother.
As the natives die off their houses
are left vacant, and one may often
see the curious spectacle of some white
man’s sign nailed on an abandoned In
dian house, notifying whomsoever it
concerns that the said white man will
take possession of the house unless the
owTier, his heirs, or assigns, shall have
claimed It before a certain date.
