MORE ROUGH RIDING. There seems little likelihood that there will be a denial of the charge that the president, while out riding last -week, behaved in. a most undignified manner In regard to a matter of precedence with three young. ladies and their chaperone. The facts seem to be well substantiated and are not denied at the White House. Until the story Is given publicity from the President's point of -view, most people will condemn his action, as to say the least, unwarranted. The fact seems to be that the presidential party were out riding a little ahead of a party of three girls, and their chaperone. Miss Sisson, from the National Park Seminary. The girls were well mounted on spirited horses and, according to their version, did not see who was ahead of them. They were traveling at a higher rate of epeed than the other party and attempted to go around it. A melee, perhaps accidental, ensued in which one of the girl's horse became frightened or insulted at the president's i steed. Now what happened? fThe president is said to have made some remarks of a scathing character and rebuked the girls for passing him. The melee might easily have been accidental, the passing of the presidential party seems to have been. The rebuke of the president was not accidental. This paper and this community has almost always agreed with Theodore Roosevelt on political questions and when it did not agree with him respected his attitude as manly and courageous. But there will be few who will

not condemn him if the affair is not

straightened tip. Allow that the girls were in error and you still do not have a pleasant picture.

Up to this time it has been said

that Theodore Roosevelt can do any

thing he pleases because he has the ' people behind him. It Is doubtful If

the people will be behind him in the

matter of making a scene with girls

who were properly chaperoned and whose chaperone is a woman, of tfnquestioned standing all over the coun

try. The fact of her being there

shows that the slight was not lnten

t!onaland the president 6hould have

shown the good sense he is supposed

to have.

All friends of the president will

greatly deplore the occurrence. The president in rough riding up San Juan Hill, and doing a like service in charging: and riding down malefactors In public life is a popular hero, and bids fair to become a Solar Myth for the ensuing ages to rival with Hercules, Itoland, and William . Tell. It is, theref&re, that his friends deplore the fact that he has carried his tactics against grafters and the scoundrels into disrepute by caterwauling some school girls because they happened to ride around him. The people have loved and admired Roosevelt because of his democracy. Is the matter of precedence a thing to be so guarded that our chief executive

must needs make a farce of his un

doubted attainments? In the exercise of his position as commander in chief of the forces on land and sea, the president is frequent-

lr called on to pass on questions of

"conduct becoming an officer and

gentleman." The question will arise

as to whether he is capable of passing on the "conduct becoming a gentle

man" if he pursues this course. It has been said by people in society that the president is "the first gentleman

that has been elected for many years

By this is meant the social position of Mr. Roosevelt's father and mother. If this is a sample of the gentle blood there will be some further questions as to his breeding. The Indianapolis Star states as its opinion that this affair Is one of the lies that are used to embarrass the president because of his activities against congress. It ts easy to give the editorial writer credit for Ingenuity and a caution engendered by the fate which befell its contemporary. The News. If congress cannot find anything In Its line to discredit Theodore Roosevelt, it may as well give up.

But to the friends of the president it seems too bad that at the end of two glorious administrations he ' should have shown himself in an unfavorable light. There seems to be no reason to doubt the statements of the three girls and their chaperone. but in case the president has anything to say to explain his seemingly unwarranted action the public will give him a fair hearing. On the other hand, if the pretildent's silence is a means of escaping an apology which is due the girls, those who admire good manners have but one thing to think. It was said of George Washington, a polished Virginian slave owner, that he took off his hat to a negro servant on the streets of Philadelphia, because he did not care to have the negro outdo him in politeness. It may be that the president does not care for precedentsbut if he does, that is one he may not be ashamed to follow. In conduct toward women there is

but one standard known to gentlemen the world over and Edward the Sev

enth, himself does not disdain the title of the "First Gentleman of Eu

rope."

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY

How to Save $2 on Cough Medicine by Making It at Home.

Cough medicines, as a rule, are mostly syrup. You can tab a pint of Granulated Sugar, add half cup of wa

ter, stir and let boil just a moment.

This makes a pint of syrup as good as

you can buy. Get 2', ounces of Pinex, put In

clean pint bottle and fill up with the

Granulated Sugar Syrup. The Gran

ulated Sugar costs, say four eents, and

the Pinex fifty cents. The recipe

makes a full pint of excellent cough

syrup, which keeps Indefinitely, at

cost of about 64 cents. You couldn't buy as much ready mado cough syrup

for $2.50. This shows a clear saving of

about $2.

This home-made remedy will stop an obstinate, deep-seated cough quickly usually in 24 hours. It Is

also splendid for colds, whooping

cough, pains in the chest, bronchial troubles and similar ailments.v Dose,

one teaspoonful every one. two or three hours as required. The taste is

very pleasant. The effectiveness of this remedy is easily understood. The Syrup is an excellent sedative. The Pinex is the

most valuable concentrated compound of Norway White Pine Extract, and contains all the natural elements which make the air of the pine forests so effective in curing tuberculosis There are many pine tar and pine oil preparations, but in ma King cough syrup on this recipe be mire to use the real Pinsx itself. Your druggist has it, or will gladly get it for you.

ROBERT SMITH

PASSES AWAY

Death Comes to One of Hag-

erstown's Most Prominent Citizens.

Hagerstown, Dec. 22. The death of

Robert R. Smith, aged C5 years, oc

curred Sunday evening at his home on

North Washington street, after a short

illness of pneumonia. He was well

known throughout the county and was

retired farmer. The widow. Mrs.

Sara Smith, and six children survive.

Dorothy Smith and Fred E. Smith. Funeral services will be held Tuesday

AN HONEST MAN SAVED f

BY A PHILANTHROPIST.

Mr. T. A. Morgan, of Hammond, Ind. had suffered for years with his stomach and kidneys, and while the great Root Juice scientist was proving the

merits of the Root Juice remedy to the people of northern Indiana. Mr. Morgan purchased six bottles of the Juice

and while it was being wrapped up, be

said: "If Root Juice cures me I will

make the scientist a present of one hundred dollars." A short while ago

Mr. Morgan called on .he scientist aud said that he could eat anything with

out the slightest inconvenience and

that his kidney trouble was entirely cured. Ho wanted the scientist to take

the one hundred dollars, but it was refused. However, it was agreed to give the money to an orphan asylum. So Root Juice is not ortly curing the sick, but in this instance will be the indirect means of caring for some dead mother's child. Root Juice has proved its wonderful merits to many people of this point. From the very start It seems to soothe and heal the linings of the stomach and bowels and strengthen the liver and kidneys, thereby giving nature a chance to, in her own way, .throw off the impurities of the b.ood. It is a wonderful medicine, sold for .1. a bottle or three for $2..V, at A. G. Luken & Co.'s drug store.

Hoarse coughs and stuffy colds that

may develop into pneumonia over night are quickly cured by Foley's

Honey and Tar, as it soothes inflamed membranes, heals the lungs, and expels the cold from the system. A. G. Luken & Co.

BOY JUMPS

AND IS HURT

Painful Accident Happens to Cambridge City Lad. Cambridge City, Dec. 22. Ora Ball, the eleven year old son of Elmer Ball, met with a painful accident Saturday morning. He was riding along the National Pike near the west side of town, and just as an interurban car was passing, jumped from the wagon, striking his head. He was severely bruised and cut about the head and face, but no bones were broken. Dr. Boyd was called and dressed the wounds. It is a marvel that the child was not much more seriously injured.
