THE TRUST BUSTER Charging the democratic party with inconsistency, Mr. Roosevelt s-»ys: “It is doubtful if they (the democrats) venture resolutely to press a singe issue. As soon as thev raise one they shrink from it and seek to explain it away”. Mr. Roosevelt adds: “Such an attitude is the probably inevitable result of the effort to improvise convictions; for when thus improvised, it is natural that they should be held in a tentative manner.” Mr. Roosevelt ought to be an authority upon “improving convictions.” He certainly has had considerable experience in that line. When he was vice president, Mr. Roosevelt had the conviction that the trusts must be suppressed and he delivered an address at Minneajiolis on Labor day. He said: “We shall find it nesoesary in the future to shackle cunning, as in the past we have shackled force.” In that address, Mr. Roosevelt went so far that the Kansas City Star, a republican paper, printed an editorial commenting npon Mr. Roosevelt's speech, in which the Star said: “William Jennings Bryan, withall his professed hostility for combinations against trade has never said anything in relation to trusts so emphatic and unequivocal as the utterances of Vice President Roosevelt at Minneapolis. To the notable political epigrams of the day must be added the declaration of Mr. Roosevelt that we shall find it neessary in the future to shackle cunning as in the past we have shackled force. ” Tne whole range of modern democratic literature might be searched in vain for a pronunciam>-nto more courageous than that on the tyrannical centralization of capital.” As soon as he betaine president, however, Mr. Roosevelt seems to have have “improvised ’ his convictions; at least, he has done nothing to “shackle cunning as in the past we have shackled force.” fie has not undei taken to enforce the criminal clause of the Sherman anti-trust law, nor has he attempted to wage a serious oamjiaign against the trust sysem”.—Bryan's Commoner.

YOUR UNCLE JOE Uncle Joe Cannon, who is ' touring the country for the republican party in a special car provided by the railroad corporations, and hauled free of charge because he is censor of laws in congress, is now saying pleasant things of Colonel Bryan. to our mind is the vilest sort’" of demagogy. Four years ago this same Cannon went about the country denouncng Colonel Bryan and his supporters as nation wreckers, telling the people that Bryan's election would bring ruin anil repudiation to the land, while the republican newspapers pictured and cartooned Colonel Bryan as a chained dog, the symbol of “calamity.” Now the same newspapers and the same orators are throwing bouquets at Colonel Bryan, hoping to wean some of his friends away from the democratic party. Will any man be fooled by such palaver? Csn the friends of Colonel forget the cruel abuse and endless calumny heaped on him by the republican newspapers and speakers? We give them credit for more self-respect, for more pride, for more patriotism, for there isn’t a man in the land who followed William Jennings Bryan that doesn't hate a hypocrite and despise a coward.— Van Wert Times. General apathy is not bothering the democrats or the democratic meetings this year. At Williams last nght Clark J. Lutz and John C. Moran addressed the largest meeting ever held there, and this was the first one for 1904. Every one was interested and will work for democratic success. At the headquarters last night the room was comfortably filled to hear J. A. M. Adair talk organization, all interested in the work. Other speakers were Judge J. M. Smith, James T. Merryman, David E. Smith and Mayor Coffee. It is al a forerunner of victory. Another plan the leading democrats have under consideration is to send Judge Parker out on a tonr of the country, making short speeches and holding receptions, so that vast numbers of the people may meet him face to face.

who favor this idea believe Judge Parker is a man who will win many admirers through personal contact with the people. In this belief they are right, and I say this after a pleasant visit with the democratic candidate. Judge Parker is a charming man. It is really a great pleasure to sit down and chat with him. His eyes are bright and good humored. He looks straight at you when he talks. His ruddy faeo bespeaks good health and good blood. He is companionable, at his ease, simple and dignified with a dignity that knows how to smile and crack a joke and not take itself too seriously ; it is far from being the dignity of the owl. He is not narrow or suspicious or constantly afraid someone is g ing to abuse his confidence. He talks frankly. He has a true politician’s excellent memory for faces and nan.es. He never strains for effect either of cordiality or wittiness. He is natural. . Men instinctively like him. In personal contact he is not unlike McKinley. The more people he meets the more friends and admirers he will have —Walter Wellman in Chicago Rec-, ord Herald. (Rep.)

WHY ICE STAYS ON TOP. Water the Sole Exception to an Otherwise I uivernal Law. It is one of the most extraordinary things in this extraordinary world, writes Henry Martyn Hurt in the Outlook. that water should be the sole exception to the otherwise universal law that all cooling bodies contract and therefore increase in density. Water contracts as its temperature falls and therefore becomes heavier and sinks until it reaches 3b degrees. At this temperature vatc-r is the heaviest. This is the point of its in -.ximum density. From this point it begins to expand. Therefore in winter, although the surface may be freezing at a temperature of 32 degrees, the water at the bottom of the pool is six or seven degrees wanner. Suppose that water, like everything else, had gone on contracting as it cooled until it reached the freezing point. The heaviest water would have sunk to the lowest place and there become ice. Although It is true that eight pints of water become nine pints of ice, and therefore icebergs float, showing above the surface an eighth of their bulk, still had the water when at the bottom turned into ice the stones would have locked It in their interstices and held it there, and before the winter was over the whole pool would become solid ice. and all the poor fish would be entombed in clear, beauJOHN BANISTER. Eimvllhl) Violinist Who Won Fame In the Seventeenth Century, Public concerts owe their direct encouragement to John Banister, who had won fame by his playing on the violin and who succeeded the -celebrated Bultznr as leader of Charles H.’s band of twenty-four violins. Pepys, in an entry in his diary for February, 1607, tells us the court gossip of the day—-"how the king’s viallin Banister is mad that the king hath a Frenchman come to be chief of some part of the king’s musique." Banister's concerts at the close of the year 1672 were advertised in the London Gazette as follows: “These are to give notice that at Mr. John Banister’s bouse (now called the Musick School), over against the George tavern in White Fryers, the present Monday will be muslck performed by excellent masters. beginning precisely at 4 of the clock in the afternoon, and every after noon fur the future precisely al the same hour” Four years later on we rend again: .‘‘At the Academy In Little Lincoln's Inn Fields win begin the first part of the Parley of Instruments, composed by Mr. John Banister.” The admission was at this time as a rule a shilling, and these concerts seem to have been held pretty regularly down to within a short time of Banister’s death, which took place 'n 1670.—Chambers' Journal.
