la. to part ormanc of . hia duty. The
way of tbe mack raker la not smooth and the muck raker's chief doty Is only to raise the question -but when j it comes to the actual getting back of j
money and doing work which Mr. Whitridge is asked to do, that is another story. So it is that there is too much truth in his somewhat cynical remarks on the situation: v. "; V;' j'-"'.--' "That, if I may say so, is another of the delusions with which this community seems to be saturated, that if a man is going to steal a million dollars, the first thing he does is to make a careful entry in the ledger, so anybody can find it. And the second thing is, that all you have to do is to call him up on the stand and ask if
he stole it, and, if so, please to hand it back. A vast amount of the criticism of this business seems to be based on these two propositions." The celebrated Barney Oldfield is safer in a racing car going "some" than as a mere pedestrian. Well what does that prove?
Hems Gathered in From Far and Near
s IMPROVING CONSULS The National ; Business s League eeems to be going after things in the right way. A recent publication , emanating from it entitled "American Universities and the American Foreign Service" is worth while. The most of the booklet is given pver to an estimate of the work being done in the American Universities which would fit the young man who so detires for a consular service. The public has a hazy idea that the consular service is something attached to the diplomatic service. But the true function of a consular service is that ol an advance guard a firing line -for American business interests. The great strides that Germany, France and England are making In their trade is due primarily to their consular systems. The United States is not as forward in these matters as it might be. The National Business League is' therefore busy with the work of supplying the government with f trained men by encouraging a Consular-Training School. On first thought It would seem wise to have a government school for this purpose. BuV the remarks of the propaganda of the League are reasonable. "As things are now, and are likely to be tor the next generation, a Government 8chocl would become either the football of partisan politics or, what la worse, the Annex to ' the - 'Spoils System' as applied to the Consular Service. That may be a serious commentarybut we in this generation . pay little attention to commentaries. However the time may come sooner than it now seems when such a gov
ernment school as the French Repub
lic has Is able to be operated. The
Naval Academy and West Point have , not been footballs for congressional
favor due largely to the nature of the army and navy itself where effi
ciency is soon recognized.
The work now being done in political
science and kindred subjects necessary i for diplomatic agents and consular service in the state universities is good
enough. By a preliminary training
along these lines in the universities
with a final training in the consular
school very much "may result for the
good, and : this is what the League
wants. :;.K;:y The time has gone by when the con
cular, service means anything but hard work. The old picture of tropical countries with the young consul in
white duck playing around on pleasure bent with his pith helmet and yellow leather puttees may still exist in comic operas. But a picture of a very perspiring young man working late hours
f into the night over reports and over
heated by day, adjusting affairs for the Introduction of new business is much
more like the state of affaire. '
The booklet of the National Business League shows that there are some
dozen courses which make for a high
er efficiency in the consular material
. ' In the Indiana University.
The 'League is endeavoring ' to get
legislation along - competive lines of
civil service through the congress
That Taft and Knox are both inter ested in the increased efficiency of the consular ! service , is well known. As
Mr. Root said in answer to the quee
lion as to what the Taft administration would do: "Of course there will be
no back track under President Taft,
that is. no back track from the Roose
velt Executive Order of June, 1906."
That means the formation of a firing line for American business. And that
hits most all of us.
. Make Half a Million! From the New York Mail. "National Guard" i3 a true phrase now. Until very recently it was a fiction. ' We
shall have a true national guard
when we have the men. But at the present moment the organized militia on. the new basis, does not number more than 110.000 men all told, and perhaps 25,000 of these would not be
found fit for active service. There are only six states in the Union that
have an organized militia of more
than 4,000 men, and those six states are all in the northeastern part of the country. All the southern states tak
en together have but a few more or
ganized militia than the state of New York alone. Militarism? Not In the
least. An organized citizen soldiery is
the opposite of militarism it is an in
surance against it. Without a national citizen-guard of at least 500,000 men we must have a larger regular army.
With it the regular army need never
be increased, if the population of the
country rose to 150,000,000. It is plain common sense. Is Switzerland, where every man is a trained and ready soldier, and ' where there is no regular army at all. a militaristic country? And is Switzerland the only country in the world that is capable of defensive common sense? "
Walking. From the New York Evening Post.
He who uses his legs is thereby en
abled to use his eves. Nature in all moods is the companion of him who raHcs. A network of sun and shadow,
or a mase of muddy pools, lies before his feet. His cheek feels the impact
of kindly breezes or harsher rain. The
bend in the road lures him onward
and fills him with peaceful conjec
ture. A pleasant comrade at his side
seems not amiss to most,' though Hazlitt and Stevenson cast their voices against it, declaring that the full flavor of a walking tour is best gained by
solitude. Stevenson better analyzes moods, but Hazlitt is he more lyric.
He was among the first of Anglo-Sax
on blood to sing the open road.

Pittsburg, July 21. Judges Brown
and Ford have sustained with one exception, the demurrer filed by the
Pressed Steel Car company to the bill in equity against them, together with the striking employes and Sheriff A.
C. Cumbert and in handing down the
opinion Judge Pord said:
"Much as we regret the unfortunate
relations between the Pressed Steel
Car company and its employes, we are powerless to compel workmen to work for the company, or to compel the company to employ them. Nor have we authority to pass upon wage rates or to prevent the company from closing or opening its plant, or to compel a settlement of the controversy by arbitration. All these issues are beyond the jurisdiction and power of the court to pass upon. "The only issue within its jurisdiction is that relating to the strike and the alleged menacing conditions growing out of it." This leaves the question open for an injunction in case any property is in danger of ; destruction resulting from rioting. To Be Protected. Attorney Beal for the Car company said that the lives of the employes would be protected as far as possible and if the men would submit a written statement of their alleged grievances the company would right them. Attorney. McXair for the men objected to this statement saying he had received a directly reverse statement from President Hofstot. Attorney Beal
said he would report to the court if such could not be done. Attorney Tiers has filed an amendment to the original bill on behalf of the public defense association in which many cases of alleged grafting and outrage treatment are set forth. The Austro-
AFFECTS WEDDING GUESTS
Tonsilitis never has been more prevalent in this city than at the presert time Physicians say there seems to be an epidemic of the disease. Several patients have been confined to their beds and the services of a physician almost constantly were required. About twenty persons who recently attended
a wedding have become afflicted. It is believed some one in the company must have had the disorder at thi time and weather conditions were right for its spread. Among those who have suffered are: Mrs. Ray Shiveley, Mrs. Charles Shiveley, Mrs. Dudley Elmer, Paul Comstock, Philip Robblns,
Miss Juliet Swayne, Miss Josephine!

Ink as an Earache Cure. An amusing story is told of a man who was suddenly attacked In the night by a violent fit of earache. His wife told him that there was on tbe window sill by the bed a bottle of chloroform and recommended him to rub some on his face. Without striking a light he reached out for the bottle, pulled out the stopper and, pouring some of the contents into his band, anointed his face from mouth to ear. Very soon be announced that the pain was better, lay down again and went to sleep. He was awakened in tbe morning by a cry of horror from bis wife. "What Is the matter?" he Inquired. "Look at your face!" .was the reply. A glance in the glass showed him that his face on one side was black as a negro's. The bottle which be had grasped in tbe dark bad contained not chloroform, but ink.

Name oj Beefsteak Causes a Bridegroom Commit Suicide
Steubenville, Ohio. July 21. Nicholas M. Crane, a young husband, committed suicide here last night in the presence of his father-in-law, John Grafton, by swallowing a mixture of carbolic acid and washing fluid. : " : Today a strange tale of the cause was uncovered. Some months ago pretty Sophia Grafton was engaged to marry John. Beef stake, but her friends made so much sport of the name of the intended groom in presence of f the bride to be that she jilted him at the altar after the license had been secured and the minister called. Sophia told Beefstake that she loved him. but
not well enough to marry that name. If he would change the name she was his. If not, no. Beefstake said he would stick to his name and so the wedding party was dismissed. A short time-later, Sophia married Crane, who had been one cf those who jested about the name of Beefstake. The jilted man declared he would get even, that he would yet have the young woman, and according to the tale told by Crane last evening before he killed himself, Beefstake made it so unpleasant for the young husband that he killed himself, so that Sophia could marry Beefstake name and alL - ' - , . -
