It is just four hundred years since the Spanish flag went up over the African territory. Today it seems that even what is left of what was once the grandest scheme of empire is about to so. The proudest nation on the earth has . had much to suffer. There is something pathetic about the : last stand of King Alfonso holding up the honor of Spain at the price even of risking his crown. And this seems one of the best Indications that there Is something latent .In the descendant of the Bourbons now on the throne which really entitles him to the place more than the pretender Don Jaime who could have had the throne by exerting himself spittle but who backed out. when the victory was ' almost In his hands to the disgust of his followers. There is no evidence of the quitter 1 ebout King Alfonso. TEXAS BILL An announcement made 'at Bellefontaise.Ohio. by the ex-presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan to the effect that he will remove from Lincoln, Nebraska, to Texas, leaves much to ponder on. Evidently Mr. Bryan finds the state of Nebraska too small to hold him, and thus he needs must find the larga extent of the Texas plains more suitable to his oratorical flights. The democracy of that state la die tinctly Brsyanesque, which can not be said of the other Southern bodies seg regate. Not even Bryan can terrify Texas And as Mr. Bailey has lost prestige in Texas there Is no reason apparent why Mr. Bryan should not have his place and wear the senatorial broadcloth toga along with a sombrero snd a string tie which are necessary to any man -who would run the cursus honorum in that state. There is only a fear thst . Mr. Bryan is entirely too con servative to be a Texas senator, but It would be, a great loss to the republican party and a distinct gain to the democratic future to have him safely shelved in the senate instead of a pros ldeatlal candidate. In the wilds of Texas ' Mr. Brysn would indeed be a shining Unperson tion of a Lone Star. ZUEBUN Some of the citizens of Richmond are familiar with Prof. Zueblin, the so ciologist, and erstwhile Chicago pro fessor who has been indulging in mud slinging against the officers of thu army and navy. . We know not whether Zueblin was fired from the Chicago University, or whether he resigned to take the head of the settlement, work in Boston en dowed to the extent of $3,000,000. At any rate Zueblin is a good riddance from that Institution. No man has brought more disrepute on that unl versity than Zueblin by his appetite for cheap notoriety. It has not been very long since he was tied up with some free love propaganda which he dispenses at meetings of women In . v fashionable y drawing rooms with the : accompaniments of juusic to his suave manner and posturing. At Lake -Chautauqua he has recently ventilated himself by calling the midshipmen and csdets of Annapolis and West Point snobs and worse. It is only the sacro-sanct Zueblin purring little nothings about free love and art with a capital A which he is unable to produce, It Is only the Zueblln, ths admired of women who have nothing else to do who is perfect. v . .

Protect These Men

' Among the ten insurgents, four must soon come before their people for reelection. -i They are: Beverldge of Indians v' . Burtcett ef Nebraska Clapp ef Minnesota La Pellette of Wisconsin These men should be supported la their several states by every man who admires Independence and courage. Beyond their states those who approve the records of these Senators should contribute to powerful sid of outside public opinion. If these men are returned to the senste it must be accomplished through the unselfishness of individuals. Every selfish Interest, the organized wealth which contributes money, manages campaigns, and gets votes by purchase or persuasion these interests they have opposed. If is ne secret that Beverldge hae been marked for slaughter. When he rose to east the first republican vote against the Al- . drlch bill, (he leads the Insurgents in the elphabetlcal list, and Important Jssues often hang on that position) Aldrlch followed him with a bitter speech which was intended to excommunicate him from the republican party. Beverldge will need the help of all who approve hie courage. The presence at Gary of the new plant ef the Steel Corporation makes a new and dangerous element for Bevtrldg in his state. Colliers,

Schoolboy of Mr. Wallace Irwin, inquire to know,, whether or not Mr. Zueblin would enlist to ; defend his country, or whether he would stay at home and talk: to women's clubs on the Iniquity of bloodshed. Lacking that we wonder whether he would stand up and take a thrashing which he richly deserves from the army and navy for his conceited posturing and his defamation of the officers of the two branches of the service. Items Gathered in From Far and Near A Good Example. , From the Philadelphia , Press. The three commissioners of the District of Columbia are reputed to be modest men who would disclaim any desire to be regarded as great reformers, but they have announced a reform that may contain a wholesome lesson for other great cities. They have Issued an edict that no more billboards shall be erected within the city limits of Washington. Those garish horrors that the sign painter's brush flaunts before the eyes of tourist, citizen and statesman are to be banished from vacant lots, blank walls and deserted buildings. Wsshington is fast approaching the realization of the plans and dreams of L'Enfant, whose contury-piercing eye saw a "city beautiful" as the seat of the nation's government. Its parks, broad streets, splendid marble and granite federal buildings have necome the show places of the country, and yet the first sight that greets the incoming guest and tourist as he em erges from the $6,000,000 union depot Is an array of large billboards bearing on their glaring expanse boasts of the merits of somebody's bourbon or the picture of a maiden in abbreviated bathing 'costume, advertising the at tractions of a seaside resort. Facing the most beautiful parks and attractive driveways are similar atrocities. The commissioners have decided that such display is not in harmony with a "city beautiful" and they are ' everlastingly right, v For years those blasphemies against nature that have been daubed, across some of the grandest scenery In the country, advertising merchandise and nostrums, have sickened the heart of the lovers of the beautiful. Akin to this sordid defacement of natural grandeur are the monster billboards that trench on city parka and spoil the scenic snd architectural effects of modern municipal, Improvements. The commissioners ot the District of Columbia have developed an idea worthy of general oonsl Iteration. ) Change Needed. From the Houston Post. Dr. Eliot says the world will witness vast change within the next half century. We should like very much to finger a little of it right now. Ne Place Like Heme. From the St Louis Poet Dispatch. J. P.

EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.igftt. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye SPILLEO NILE. Whea Rudyard Kipling wrote "The Recessional." one of the finest poem In the English language snd the high est note ever struck by Kipling, he threw It Into the wastebesket The greet poem was rescued by seel dent. ' Kipling did not realise be had written a classic. Having done the best work of bis life, he thought tt a failure. Mistakes in judgment ere common tc us all. Sometimes when we are on the verge of accomplishment we throw up our hands In failure. We forget that the darkest hour If just before the dawn. Never acknowledge defeat, because defest is often the only stepping ston to lster victory. 4 Abraham Lincoln was great In man; things, snd one of these was bis re fusal to regard defeat as final. When during those historic debate with Douglas he proposed to put certain questions to "the Little Giant" bis friends besought him not to do so. They told him he would lose the sen storshlp from Illinois. Keen Joe Me dill, editor of the Chicago Tribune, told Lincoln he was sounding his own deatbknell. Nevertheless Lincoln persisted. Be lost the senstorshlp, but gained the presidency. Lincoln understood, as the group ol able men about him did not, that wt "rise on stepping stones of our dead selves to higher things." After all. success and failure ar eomparative. Ignoble success Is successful failure Noble failure Is success. - Because, while noble action may fall of recognition for the time. In the end of things It counts for success. Therefore . ' ' ; Tour temporary failure may bt worth more to you In the long run than Immediate success. If it wat honorable failure and against oddt you have no reason for blaming yourself. You did the best you . could Hold up your chin and try It again. Your failure may reveal to you s weakness you had not suspected Credit the failure to experience snd go on. ' Above all things Never cry over spilled milk. Life Is too short to grieve, snd then Is too much milk in the world to botbei your hesd. Let the spilled stuff go and go after more milk. Never admit defeat to yourself. Success comes only as the climax oi a series of defeat. FRESH VEGETABLE TIPS. When boiling fresh potatoes or peas try a sprig of mint in the water. It gives s delicious flavor. To avoid scraping new potatoes boil them In their skins until tender, then skin and put back in the steamer for a few minutes to dry out A pinch of soda in the water In which green vegetables, peas, string beans and cabbage are boiled will keep the color. In preparing cabbage wash It well In salted water, cold, then cook In boll tag water to which a tablespoonful of salt to the half gallon has been sdded. If the ltd is left off cabbage when cooking It wilt keep Its color better. Do not put salt In the water In which peas sre cooked, as it causes the outer skin to crack. Leave lid off Bsucepsn. Try adding leef of spinach to the water in jvhlch peas sre boiled If yov wish them to keep a good color. Soak cauliflower an hour before cooking. Put into boiling water to which a tablespoonful of salt Is add ed. Boll from twenty to thirty minutes, according to size of head. To prepare cauliflower remove all the large green leaves and greater part of stalk. Soak In cold water to which has been added one teaspoonful of vinegar and a half teaspoonful of salt to each quart Cucumbers' after seeking in cold salted water for an hour should be drained and shaken dry In a clean towel before using.

DYUAMITERS ARE RUHIIIIG CREEKS

Killing Fish in Streams Near Milton by Nefarious Use of Explosives. PARTIES ARE SUSPECTED ARRESTS MAY FOLLOW WITHIN FEW DAYS IF EVIDENCE CAN BE OBTAINED TO GUARANTEE CONVICTION. Milton, Ind., Aug. 2. For the past two weeks the streams around Milton have been dynamited but at last it is thought that the guilty parties have become known. Suspicion has pointed strongly to several local young men for some time, but their, names are with held until sufficient evidence has been gathered to warant their arrest The matter will be fully investigated by the authorities as such practices will not be tolerated it is said. A heavy fine is imposed for dynamiting fish. No one has ever been convicted on this charge in -Wayne county for some time, and if the parties sre caught an example will be made of them it is said, and they will be dealt with severely. Seining the streams is another prac tice which has been indulged in around here and it is expected that arrests on this charge will follow also. ARRESTS WERE MADE. Earl Doddridge, Well Known Young Man, Held as Suspect in Case. Milton, Ind., Aug. 2. Earl Dodd ridge of this place was arrested Sun day morning by Deputy Sheriff Dan Drischel of Cambridge City for viola tion of the fish laws. He and a friend by the name of Brannon were dyna miting on the Brown farm, south of Milton and their operations were de tected. Doddridge was taken, to Cam bridge City and released on a $300 bond furnished by his father. Bran non escaped and had not been arrested up till noon today. It is not known when Doddridge will be arraigned. , The arrest of Doddridge is the first of the year for violations of the fish law in this county, although several arrests have been made in adjoining counties .where violators were more bold in their operations. The deputy game warden of this district who has been in this county investigating violations, says that he suspects but three or four persons. The violators have been using dynamite, gigs and seines. TIRESOME BROMIDES. They're Abroad These Hot Summer Days In Legions. This is Ruth Cameron's plea for the Bromide. "In case you have never beard him classified, the Bromide is the person who constantly asks Inanely unnecessary questions and constantly says inanely obflous things. For example, be sees me out in the garden, kneeling on the ground, a basket of pansles beside me and a trowel in my hand, and he leans over the fence and Inquires, 'Planting pansles? I am always filled with a wild desire to deny the soft linpeschment' to say: Why. no! What made you think soT For the sake of preserving my reputa tion for sanity. I never do, but I some times tell the questioner the story of the woman who came into the room and, seeing her husband passing a razor across his well lathered face, in quired: 44 'Shaving, dearr "The razor paused while her husband gently explained: 'No; I'm out golfing. Where are you at the mat inee or out drivingr The very hot and the very cold days are the Bromide's busy seasons. The last warm day brought out a swarm of him. In the half hour that I sat on my front veranda fanning myself four of bim passed by. One said, Tretty warm, isn't it? but the other three used the rather more popular formula, 'Is it hot enough for your "As I replied as politely as I could that It 'was quite as hot as I desired X made up my mind to inveigh against the whole species in the very next Chitchat : s "I decided to make some very caustic tnd very cutting remarks on all Bromides in general and the askers of silly questions In particular and to suggest that society impose a fine on any one who asked, 'Is It hot enough for touT ' i "And then I thought it over. "And I remembered the amiable smile en the faces of the four who had called my attention to the warmth of the weather. And I recalled the friend ly tones of the man who had been so deeply Interested to find out If I could possibly be planting pansles and inci dentally the fact that he gave some very material aid in the planting when he found out that was what I was doing.. And I was as properly ashamed of myself as I deserved to be. For all and more that be lacks In brilliancy he certainly makes up in friendliness. snd, after all, isn't real friendliness about as beautiful a thing as there is In the world?

Business Review of The Past Week by Henry Clews

July closed with all the financial markets showing persistent strength. There is no abatement in the tone of optimism which has now prevailed for several weeks; in fact, it has become more pronounced rather than otherwise. This feeling - is based upon a general recognition ot sound conditions in business and a gradual recovery in the volume of trade. .We have become accustomed to measuring business by values, and in many cases the records of comparison already show Increases over the pre-panic year. This method of comparison, however, is somewhat misleading, and when the volume of business is measured by quantity rather than value, It is seen that In many respects we are still behind 1907, although we may be rapidly approaching that year; and in exceptional Instances passing it. , The Steel trade is unquestionably leading all others in point of activity at this time. , Several of the large independent concerns are turning out record-breaking , products, and the great United States Steel Corporation in many of its derurtments Is also taxed to the utmost in filling orders. Since prices have advanced, it is easy to see that the current business of the steel Industry must be very much more profitable than a year ago. This, of course, accounts for the strength of the Steel Issues in spite ot the disappointment felt at the dividend on Steel common being raised to only 3 per cent Such a conservative policy, however, is to be commended, since in the long run it will tend to establish confidence in the management of this huge corporation. With the uncertain ty as to the Steel dividend out of the way, the market temporarily lacked specially interesting features. The latter, however, were soon supplied by the strength imparted to the Harriman issues and New - York Central, both of which were taken in hand by the speculative leaders and pushed to new high figures on rumors of his forthcoming plans. This apparently is the policy of those in control namely to take special stocks as leaders and mark them up one by one, thus establishing contrasts and comparisons calculated to excite the speculative appetite. Expectations of higher dividends now appear to be the basis of ma nipulation. Meanwhile the market is insensitive to unfavorable news. Ordinarily the Southern stocks . would show some weakness under the unfavorable news regarding the growing cotton crop, but these shares in common with others have maintained the old level and advance more readily than they decline. It is still very evident that the market is completely under the control of a few big leaders, and, until they" have sufficiently diminished their holdings, their grip upon the situation is not likely to relax. When they have sold oat, the market will be left to take care of itself and we may then see the long expected re-

action. But that la not in sight today. Outside conditions continue favorable. The trade outlook is promising. Interior merchants have been .buying on a conservative basis, and the outlook is for a good consumptive demand for nearly all classes of merchandise. Building is active, and our railroads are free purchaser of materials for constructive purposes. Advices concerning wheat and corn continue favorable, and only discouraging reports being from the cotton districts, where continued drouth and heat have caused further deterioration in the condition of cotton. Money continues in good supply at easy rates, but the westward currency

movement has already begun, and both the interior and Canadian banks are drawing against their balances in this city. It is not generally thought however, that the crop demands this season will cause any material advance In money rates. Western banks being abundantly able to meet a large part of anticipated requirements. The condition of the national banks appears to be exceptionally strong. According to the last statement the amount of loans issued by these insti tutions amounted to $3,036,000,000, the highest on record, and an increase of $420,000,000 over a year ago. It is also an Increase of $613,000,000 over the minimum following the panic. The total of deposits was $4,S9S,000.000, or nearly double the amount of nine years ago. These figures show a tremendous growth in our financial strength. Old tnglieh Libel Suit Parliamentary repartee was ably upheld by Lord Brougham, especially during the great reform debates - of the last century.
