SHOTB AT CANDIDATES.
Wittily did Mr. Felder remark that
"men don’t wnatr their uminunttlou
on dead bird*." When a eundlilute la
getting hot shot peaked Into him, It
la a sign his death la very necessary to
certain part lea. It la ouaNlble that he
may succumb, especially If hta cour
age falls, but na tiaual thing this sort
of thing, when It doea not kill gives
them life.
Honors in tills line, however, seem
to be very generously distributed
among the tleorglu candidates. Mr.
Folder may be a bit mote vulnerable
than the others but they are working
Just as hard on the reNt of them.
Tlie trouble la the mlstdio that 1*

ha ltd that flings II would like, hut the
much - of-a -muchness that Is made of
It, the frequency with which tt la

Indicate a great deelr to harm. .When
this becomes evident the contrary peo
ple show their unreasoning quqult
tles by arguing that <a candidate that
ta ao worth killing to some folks
must be worth |>utttng In office and
they generally proceed to do It.
Which, rewinds us that ufter trying
the "Shoo, fly" treatment on Tom
HaJtlwick and finding him wax in

turning their attention to another
inode of attack—sending out the re

race for tbs rlenate he has arranged
to baoome a ntetnlier of New York law

uuua sort of warfare. that Is hard to
meet. In the first place, it la supposed
to hurt a candidate mightily to asso
ciate his name with the bare sugges

Mila caa« Is that Mr. Hardwick has
from tha first ben spreading a net

VINDICATION OF JUDGE SPEER.
"If judges are to he subjected to
the treatment accorded Judge
Speer, how can they he expected
to maintain that spirit of Inde
pendence ho eaaontlal to the Just
administration of law."
This Is the conclusion of the minor
ity report of the investigating suh«
I committee of congress on the irn
i peachment charges ago in at Judge
j Speer. The Herald has from time to
time expressed Its horror and indigna
tion at the cruelty and insult which
was sanctioned under the name of
law and justice in "investigating" the
charges against this watchful and
scrupulous guardian of the law.
Naturally the sympathies of just
minded men were strongly appealed to
by the proceedings of the court of
insult, which were published in full
for tiie benefit of every curious and
suuperficial observer. Representative!
Volstead has scored these .methods
witli the scorching scorn they richly
deserve, hut the real horror of the
thing lies deeper than the personal
rights Involved, Important and vita!
ns they are to human justice. The
conclusion of Representative Vol
stoad's report forcefully points to tile
mad destruction of Judicial Independ
ence which is threatened by the spite
and prejudice of disgruntled lawyers
and lawless leads of corporate inter
ests.
In the midst of the general well
founded sentiment of discontent with
the Judiciary which is fell throughout
the whole country because It’s will
has been shaped to the will of insid
iously powerful Interests. This con
spiracy to humiliate Judge Hpeer was
cunningly devised, but It failed for the
very sufficient reason that Justice
reigns In the average mind and no
cause for Impeachment could he
found.
The whole affair however Is a rich
object lesson. It reveals in the first
place, the determined and unrelenting
fight which lawless interests are mak
ing for their life —a life that can he
maintained only at the xnaerlfire of
law. It 'reveals also, that In playing
upon tile vindictive antagonisms ami
personal spites, It Is possible to achieve
gn at wrongs. That the wrong is no
greater than It Is is due entirely to
the fact that the examination and
sifting out of testimony waa the task
of impartial men, who had no local
ties, no personal Interests to forward
and no political or business schemes
to blind and bins them. Judge Hpeer
has been cleared of the charges and
Insinuations that wi re brought against
him, but where In our whole system
of law and civilization Is there a way
to make amends for Inflicting such In
dignities and such suffering upon a
proud and honorable nature?

THE LITTLE LOST RAVEN.
By Virginia.
Once upon a time a mother crow
and a mother raven each had a
nest for their title babies In some
tall Ires not very far apart. Mrs.
Crow's home wum o uch larger and
higher up in her tree than Mrs.
Haven's home and site bad four
little crows In the nest.
The little ones fluttered around
and took up so much room she
sometimes wished she had made It
larger. Mrs. Haven had only one
little baby and wished she had
more for the nest seemed too Idg
for only Papa Haven, Mamma
Haven, and the haliy.
When the little raven was a few
weeks old Its parents started to
teach It to fly An first it was
very much afraid but at last it
spread its wings and managed to
fly to the ground. Papa Haven
was very proud to see his
little baby learning to fly and
sabl lie was going to find some
thing nice for Its slipper.
Off*lie flew for tlielr supper. It
began to grow dark and as papa
hadn't come home mamma said
must go and look for him. She
told the little raven to sit In the
nest and wait until they came
back.
All night the little hungry bird
waited but neither of them came.
The next morning it was so hun
gry that it made up Its inlnd It
would try to fly out and find some
something to eat Itself.
Out of the nest It flew but It
was so young that tt didn't know
which way to fly and It flew up
instead of down and right Into the
crow's nest where the four liaby
crows were eating a nice break
fast, Mamma Crow had just j
brought them.
When the little raven flew Into
the nest with Its mouth wide open
they didn't know what to make of
It hut thought It must be another
brother and so they were very niee
and shared their breakfast with
the netiw-comer When their par
ents came home and saw another
bird In the mst with the same
black glossy feathers they were
as much astonished as the others.
Mother Crow began to count and
found that there were five Instead
of four. Then to make sure, leath
er (’row also counted five. How
It happened they couldn’t toll. Just
then the little raven opened Its
mouth nnd Mother Crow popped
Into It n nice bit of young corn
she had brought home and the lit
tle raven looked so happy that
mother crow said: "l guess we
better let it stay, tt won't be much
more to feed." Father Crow nod
ded his head and so the poor little
raven found a nice home.

tonight Is another story.
The crusade was planned among

much cooler today, but the response
was very numerous.
The crusaders shivered iuto town

THE BOY WHO TRIED.
John Graham lived on a farm with
Ills father and mother and two broth
ers lid ward and Henry John was a
quiet boy; be did not go to dances and
parties as his brothers did, and they
did not help their father about the
farm as John did.
They did not like the farm life and
were always talking about going to
the elty when they were old enough,
and making a fortune. Their mother
was very proud of Edward and Henry.
"They favor my folks.” she would say.
“John takes after his father's folks;
he Is quiet and does not take to learn
ing."
tine day when Mr. and Mrs. Graham
were alone, Mrs. Graham said; “I
think Henry and Edward should go to
the college sohool they will make their
marks in life, I am sure, and they
were never cut out for farmers.
"Why not send John, too?" asked
Mr. Graham.
"John does not care for learning,”
said Ills mother, "he will never be any
thing but a farmer."
“He does more work In one day than
both of the other boys do In two. Hook
learning will never make sensible men
if they have not good common sense

to buckle down to Rood hard work and
take some of the high notions out of
their head*, before they will do much
with their books.”
"Edward and Henry have minds
above the average," said their mother,
"and I want them to go to college."
So Mrs. Urnhnm had her way and
Edward and went to collefte.
John did not seem to mind. In. the least,
betnit left behind. He helped his fath
er Ret in the hay and did more work
than ever and found time to help his
mother, also.
Ills mother loved him and thomrht
John a Rood boy, but she felt he never
would he ttie brilliant man that either
of his brothers would he.
if she had gone to John's room at
ntKht after everybody was in bed, she
would have found him sitting by the
table reading, and the hooks he read
would have caused her surprise, for
stupid boys would not have studied
tlreek and lattln or read history
By and by John went to town meet
ing, and people began to say, "John
Graham Is n smart young man."
Ills brothers who went to college
were through with their studies and
Edward was to practice medicine.
Henry had studied law. and they open
ed their offices in the city.
"\\ hat did I tell you." said Mrs.
Qrnham, "there they are ~l>r. Graham
and 1-awyer Graham. 1 know they
would make a name for themselves.' 1
"Better wait until they make a little
money." Mr. Graham replied. "1 have
paid their rent and their Isvard for six
month*. By the way." he continued,
"they say in the village that John Is
likely to he sent to the t.egtslature
next year." .
Mrs. Graham looked surprised, for
she still looked upon John as a quiet
stupid boy.

The next year John went to the Leg
islature. as his father had said, and
his mother missed him very much.
“John is a good boy," she said, “and
lhe house does not seem right without
him.”
People began to talk about John and
the brothers who went to the city
school were forgotten.
Mrs. Graham began to speak of “My
son, John," with a pride she had never
felt before, and the next year John took
a house in town and his father and
mother lived with him.
In time he became a State Senator,
and then one day he was spoken of for
governor ami was elected.
Edward and Henry in the metyitime
had not been able to make a living,
and when John became governor they
went to him for help.
"Come and live with us,” John tokl
them; “there is plenty of room.” And
then he found for them positions where
they could earn enough to support
themselves
With all their education they were
not able to do what John had done
without going to college.
Mr. Graham did not say to his wife,
"I told you so,” but there wms a very

“My son, John."
The little boys who read this story
of John should remember that even if
they cannot go to college they may, if
they choose, study and become good
citizens. The going to college part on
ly helps to bring out the real worth
of the boy, and if he has the desire
and inclination he will surely succeed,
whether he goes to college or not.
