There was once a man named Jerome who was entangled in a mass of yellow sensationalism, a hideous fnesh of malice and mercenary lies ft was made to appear that the man was a monster. And yet the man's character was so honest and honorable that we should never have known how really fine, how true nor how ca pable the man was, had he not been accused unjustly and all his life laid before the public to judge. New York elected Jerome to clean house, and rid her of monsters reeking with the slime of dishonesty, graft and the trampling down of human life. Jerome essayed the job. He lid it as well as he could. Naturally there were insuperable difficulties in his single handed fight, and when his enemies could down him in no other way they tried to drown him in mud. But Jerome came out with unsullied honor. The verdict in favor of the New York District attorney was rendered by Commissioner R. L. Hand, appointed by Governor Hughes. Gov. Hughes came in the investigation is a guarantee to the people of New York and the country that there was fairness and no eye winking in the investigation. Hand, in his report significally says; "My conviction upon the whole case is that the respondent has been shown to have discharged the onerous duties of his office with zeal and ability, having the public good as his motive and that no incapacity, in difference or neglect has been shown in any case." The commissioner goes on to reflect upon the accusers of Jerome: "What information this committee may claim to have as to the conduct of the District Attorney, upon whom

they have assumed to make these ,

charges of improper motive, aoject j ter. n i neoaore wooseveii naa waniveneration of mere money and the'ed a third term he could have had It possessors of money, neglect of duty, 5 without all this bother about Taft. official misconduct, conspiring with j Any one who has watched the efcriminals, throttling prosecutions and forts of the president to get Taft nomdefeating justice, we can only infer . inated is aware that he did it for two from the fact that its chairman and j reasons; First, to insure his not besecretary concede their utter ignor- inS nominated by the overwhelming ance and seem to have signed such ! demand of the people; second, to give rtiirwi as ennnwi aw fit trt nrfmarA i to the American" neortle a man who

without real knowledge even of the content of such charges and in absolute ignorance as to their truth or falsehood and the counsel himself is forced to admit that he had no greater knowledge or information than they." The whole trouble is that Jerome was for tne moment a popular nero even to the degree attained by a solar myth, the people got tired. No man is more than a one day's wonder in New York, even though he may keep the other six in the rest of these Unit ed States. "But the one thin? occupying their minds has been that all they have de sired has not been accomplished and Mr. Jerome meets the common fate of an idol of the people." So speaks the Commissioner. Cela. That's about the size of it. Still Jerome stands up larger than before in the conservative estimation of his fellows. THE SECRET ORCHARD. It is an old, old story the dual life. The papers in their news columns rarely pass a week without reporting just such a case as happened in Oma ha, a leading citizen comfortably married leaves his home to have dealings with another woman. The case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde so dramatic ally told by Stevenson is often accused of being overdrawn and bizarre but if one thinks a moment, even in the small range of almost every one's ken there recurs a story which is a parallel. Dr. Rustin was killed on his own doorstep at three in the morning by a "woman known to the police." Horrible, say you? How about the ones who do not get caught? How about the ones who do not ge killed? How about the case which is known only to the wife? That is a more tragic thing. A canker slowly eating the life blood of some good woman. Think of those sleepless nights and the days full of sullen care. The grist of our divorce courts is not a pleasing spectacle and yet is it not better than the throttling of some innocent wife or husband? If statistics were (as is Impossible) at hand, the majority of murders, the majority of embezzlements and even petty crime, could be traced to The Secret Orchard. How many a man has been decently buried nay buried in masses of flowers, buried amidst the respect of the community, with a fine eulogistic sermon preached over his coffin and engrossed letters sent to the widow testifying to the man's high standing as a respectable citizen!, Only some days afterward when the safe was unlocked the family was beggared, the names of the innocent were smirched and the money spent on some other woman. It is not for . nothing that the French say "Cherchez le femme!" Find the woman in the case! And yet, somewhere, there is a womanthat man's wife who has been giving her time to church affairs, to missionary meetings, to associated charities, to more or less innocent gos sip-so busy with other people's af-' fairs! What if she had given a little more attention to her own household? Whether the woman's other Interests were for the common good or purely selfish interests the fact remains her firs duty was to the household and the family. Turn it which way you will or make allowance or explanation to suit yourself. The evil is there and it is to be feared, not decreasing. The Whitened Sepulchre and the forbidden fruit of the Secret Orchard are wrecking home after home, man after man and the divorce courts pour out their leprous growth each year. This evil cannot be cured by legislation; it means that the morals of the country need regeneration. The downfall of the great countries in the past whatever may have been their outward splendor, lay in the internal rot of which the Secret Orchard was but the first indication. EVEN WILLIE SAYS SO. All these rantlngs of one Willie Hearst might be compared to the at-? tention which is paid to a street orator who works himself into a frenzy over selling patent medicines on the corners. The people gather and listen and the wiser ones move on after their curiosity has been satisfied. As a matter of fact Mr. Hearst is spending a lot of time battling with wind mills and we get some of the wind. No one who has anything resembling common sense will take seriously the pert assertion that "Taft is a messenger boy keeping the seat warm" for Theodore Roosevelt. It is a fiction so apparent tbat one excuses it In Mr. Hearst on the ground that he

has no more stable arguments to mus-

would carry out hia polic'es with the utmost fairness. But while some of Mr. Hearst's charges against the democratic party are equally preposterous, Mr. Hearst makes fust use of the true condition of affairs that Mr. Bryan has a vacillating way of taking up wild issues to the detriment of what was once the democratic party we believe this more .readily from the fight of onown eyes, and the last word3 of Grover Cleveland than we do from Willie Hearst. But if Hearst and Cleveland recognize what the republican party has always maintained there is probably some truth in it FORAKER ACTED Action at Toledo in Declaring For Taft Not Result of Agreement. FALLS BACK INTO LINE. WILL GO ALONG WITH THE PARTY LIKE VETERAN MARCHINC FORTH AS VOLUNTEER TO NEW AND STRANGE WAR. Middle Bass Island, O., Sept. 4. As near as it can be learned from the various statements made, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker's action at Toledo ift unqualifiedly declaring his support of the Republican national ticket, was not the result of any specific agreement with Judge Wm. H. Taft. Apparently Senator Foraker has been elected simply to preserve his regularity and to take his chances for reelection to the Senate. In so doing he accepts the national platform, the Roosevelt policies and other appendages thereto, until election day at least. Attention is called to the fact that just prior to the Senator's address, Judge Taft asserted, with some vehemence, in his remarks to the Lincoln Club, that the attitude of President Roosevelt toward public questions was one of the principal issues of the campaign. Suspending his opposition for the time being. Senator Foraker has fallen Into line and will go along with his party like a veteran who has volunteered for a new war. If all reports be true, Judge Taft was . not asked to make any concessions in order to bring the Senator Into line. Contrary to the impression created by the events of yesterday, the meeting does not mean that the way is to be cleared for Foraker's return to the Senate. r-vr.eiice Makea Perfect.

Kearlr Every Hainan Quality la Un like In the Seies. "A man is a man down to hi? thun.bs, and a woman is a woma: down to her little toes," writes LU Havelock Ellis in his book "lien au. Women." There i.s hardly a measur able quality of any sort which is no' unlike in the two sexes. Women eveii button their garments ou the otbei side from that chosen by men an. choose Sunday instead of Monday iv their favorite day for making vra with themselves. So far as laboratory tests go Dr. Ellis says that womeu air unquestipnably superior in goner;;' tactile sensibility and probably su perior in the discrimination of tastes, with no advantage either way in the case of the other senses. Women have better memories, read more rapidly, bear pain better, recover better from wounds and serious illness, are less changed by old age and live longer. Furthermore, according to the same authority, women have relatively larger brains, especially in the frontal region. It has long been said that women are the more like children, but Dr. Ellis says that men are the more like apes. Women, in short, are more civilized than men, and civilization itself is but the process of making the world ladylike. In fact, the only thing left in which man is superior is muscle. Men are two, three and even four times stronger than women, and the occasional exceptional woman hardly reaches the level of the average man. Even between the ages of eleven and fifteen, when girls are taller and heavier, boys still retain their single advantage in strength. Men, too, if slower of mind and quicker of body, have greater lung capacity and more blood corpuscles and exhale nearly twice as much carbon dioxide. But men are less able to endure confinement and bad air. This physical superiority man shares with the males of all the higher animals. WILY REYNARD. Few Wild Creatnrea Can Compete With the Pox In Crafttneaa. Those familiar with the "Fables of JEsop" will remember the reputation which reynard bears among the rest of the animals. It is questionable whether any wild creature can compete with the for in craftiness. To look at him generally, even in bis ordinary habits, he exhibits an amount of cleverness which astonishes one. Should a fox catch a hedgehog, whose spines effectually protect him from most of his enemies, he does not waste time, as a fox terrier will do, in endeavoring to worry his prey. He merely rolls him to the nearest water, knowing that a drop or two will cause the animal to relax his hold. It is a rare thing to catch one in a trap laid at the door of his "earth" even. If he Is inside when the trap Is set he waits until some other auimal springs it and then emerges to eat the victim and the bait. Only when driven by the terrible pangs of hunger will he tempt fate in his own person. Most animals gorge themselves when they are fortunate enough to come across a superabundance of food. Not so with reynard. Should he find a poultry yard well stocked and ill protected he fills his larder first. Nor does he, as the proverb says, "put all his eggs in one basket" He puts one fowl in a hedge, hides another in a bush, places a third in a hole in a tree, rapidly digs a cavity for a fourth and covers it up again, remembering in each case where his stores are concealed. And when his supplies are sufficient in his own "estimation he takes a fine fat chicken or duck to his "earth" for present enjoymentLondon Field. Woke tne Jadaje. The Westminster Gazette relates that an action was being tried before Lord Coleridge for damages for the death of a sheep dog, a winner of many prizes at bench shows, and counsel for the defense was endeavoring to show that the dog had "had his day" and that damages should be nominal. Lord Coleridge, however, was sweetly slumber - leg, and counsel felt the necessity for rousing him, if possible. So, gradually raising his voice, he asked one of the plaintiffs witnesses, Is it not your experience as an exhibitor that when an old dog has taken his place regularly on the bench for many years he gets sleepy and past his work?" The laughter that followed had the desired effect. Joajtna: Qol4 Aledai Flour Is real economy.

KEEP YOUR HEAD. How One Woman Loat Her Tempex' and Her Art Treaaurea. Apropos of the woman with the ability to plan a big coup and who then loses it and her head at the last moment an auctioneer in New York tells an interesting story. The woman was an American who had been living abroad with her husband for many years. Upon his death she returned, bringing with her a large collection of valuable paintings which had been his property and which she hoped to sell. She made arrangements with the auctioneer to handle them for her, and he was delighted with the cleverness with which she had obtained vouchers for each one. It showed enterprise and thoroughness seldom found in men or women and made it certain that the pictures, which were really good ones, would bring good prices. To every one living who had been In any way connected with the pictures, owned them or handled them the woman had gone for a written guarantee, and. In addition to the names obtained in this way, she had been to the American consul, and he in his turn had guaranteed their signatures. They were all sworn to and duly witnessed, and the auctioneer congratulated the woman. That was all right until Uncle Sam stepped in. The custom house authori ties, though unable to obtain possession of the guarantees, appreciated the pic-( tures, estimated them to be worth their full value as understood by the owner and put duties upon them entirely be-; yond the woman's power to pay. Fhe was greatly distressed at first, then annoyed and finally furiously angry at what she considered an Imposition. The auctioneer endeavored to console her. "They will be sold for little or nothing at the custom house sale," he said, "and the best thing to do Is to buy them in. They will go for $10 or $15 apiece, and we will have the sale after alL I will buy them in for you, and ' we will both make a pot of money out t of them." i But by that time the woman was too angry to listen to advice. She considered that she had been badly treated. If the custom house wished to keep her pictures from her, very welL they might have them. She tore up the guarantees, the pictures were sold for next to nothing and scattered no one knows where now and the woman lost , a small fortune. New York Times. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

John Wesley married a widow, Mrs. Vizelle, who grew tired of his restlessly laborious life and complained- He paid no attention, and from complaint she went on to jealousy, thence to fury. He rebuked her sternly; "Do not any longer contend for mastery, for power, money or praise. Be content to be a private. Insignificant person. Of what importance is your character to mankind? If you were buried Just now or had never lived, what loss would it be to the cause of God?" .

Horsepower. Tho difference between nominal, Indicated and effective horsepower often puzzles people. Nominal horsepower Is an assumed quantity, used for the convenience of makers and buyers In describing the dimensions of the engines. Indicated horsepower Is the amount shown by computations of the Indicator diagram. Effective or actual horse power is the work an engine can do or the difference between the indicated horsepower and the horsepower required to drive the engine when unloaded.
