The death of Governor Johnson gives further strength to the desire of the friends of Gov. 'Marshall, who Is mentioned more than casually for the democratic presidential candidacy. Marshall has the decided merit of being a democrat which can not be said in seriousness, of the former candidate of the democratic party. The will o' the wisp of Bryanism has led the donkey into the depths of the slough of defeat. Marshall Is a free trade democrat (so far) and it is asserted by impartial papers such as the New York Evening Post, that the democratic party would have been in a stronger position to deal with the future if it had not played with the alien gods. This gives Marshall a real advantage. ' Marshall is Intensely popular in most sections of Indiana and has done far better than his bitterest republican enemies wished. His promises and statements during his gubernatorial campaign were scarcely satisfactory, but he has done far more than his word or Intimation. Part of, his popularity is reaction from the contempt of Hanly. But on the whole, Marshall has made most of his friends while In office and that is saying a great deal. This adds much to his strength as a democratic candidate for, the presidency. Just as John Worth Kern incurred the kindly feeling of the men in Indiana who had no intention of voting the democratic ticket, Marshall has the good will of a great number of republicans who are nevertheless loyal to their principles. ' EX LIBRIS CA RN EG I EN SIS. Up in Elwood they have a Laird o'Skibo library. . No doubt it fulfills Mr. Dooley's definition of a library.' That is a stone building with the names of Homer, Carnegie, Shakespeare, Carnegie, Milton, Carnegie, Dante, Carnegie, Geothe, Carnegie and several other Carnegies. The unfortunate part of this sort of a library is that experienced by. the Elwood people. In the space of a number of years all the money was used In the maintenance of the library and little in buying books. Hence litigation to dispense with the monumental hall of the fame of Carnegie. !We have no reason to believe that the library authorities did otherwise In not buying books than to do, what they had to. When a Carnegie library it completed in the eyes of the found r the name takes up too much room In the structure to put any other form of letters into the plaid conjunction of the Interwoven names of the canny Scot who ranks with the immortals in his libraries. Most of the light fiction In a Carnegie library is only too apparent the mystic poetry which the name of the Andy inspires Is only sec ond to his generosity. THE ENEMY'S COUNTRY. Whatever anyone may think agree ably or otherwise, about the advantag es, policy and judgment of swinging about the circle, President Taft has the merit, and a very decided one in our opinion of going into the least friendly places to advance his views on national : matters. : There is scarcely an opportunism apparent In his speeches so far. He gives his audience the extreme pleasure of differing with him. And this takes no small amount of courage. To make a speech at Winona for Tawney and to advance the inheritance tax In the hot house of millionaires at Denver, these are things which are unmistakable and incapable of misconstruction. .'. It Is much the same thing as telling a man to his face exactly what you think of him how ever unwise it may appear on the surface, it Is hon-

HOSTILITY.

We do not imagine that the citizens of Richmond are alarmed at the prospect pf litigation over the meter rental ordinance passed In council earlier In the week. The disposition on the part of some of the representatives of the Richmond City Water Works to announce that this is a matter of hostility' and other dire words is a peculiarly innocuous form of bluff and bluster which may have deceived them but does not strike terror to the more than ever suspecting citizen. It is to be Eiipposed that the average citizen has some idea that the courts are places where things are to be settled which have no other solution. That the meter question is a thing which demands a solution will hardly be a matter of quibble. It has so much to do with a contract and scale of rates that court costs are scarcely a conspicuous item. When it is determined what the legal status is together with the results of what is expected to be a satisfactory appraisement and inaulry Into the physical and financial status of the company by Mr. Maury, there will be more data and a solider basis at hand than there was on the evening of October in 1892 when the present contract went into effect. "Hostility," "unfriendly act," and other cuttlefish words do not even blur the atmosphere, no matter how Inky they are calculated to be by those who usev them.

esty and should be given credit as such. THE UNINVITED GUEST. And so J. Frank was not invited to participate in the Anti-Saloon league speechmaklng. What a misfortune for the man who would have the senatorship and wave the white string tie in unison with the two flags which he is wont to bring forth from his bosom and use as a pocket handkerchief on the Chautauqua platform. For the Chautauqua is the platform the only platform which our peerless J. will stick to, and that with flag waving: Ah uninvited one. where now are the palmy days of portentious palmistry and psalministry? A reversion is to be shortly expected. "And like her. O Saki, you shall pass Among the Guests star-scattered on the Grass And In blissful errand reach the Spot Where I made One turn down an empty Glass." Or can it be that J. Frank was invited and FRIENDS AND FOES. The Yearly Meeting, according to the custom and we dare say, after the pe rusal of that lively journal The Advo cate of Peace, has been again moved to protest against the enlargement of the navy. It is, of course, the heritage of the Society of Friends, commonly called Quakers, to abide by their belief of non-resistance. We have sympathy with the attitude of Benjamin Franklin, who got an appropriation for fire engines from his non-resisting friends when the enemy was coming up the bay to attack. Philadelphia. We fancy that some of his Quaker neighbors were not entirely displeased when they found that the old rascal had purchased guns, cannon, ammunition and shot with his fire engine appropriation. Hems Gathered in from Far and Near Pennsylvania's Prisons a Disgrace. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. One thing is very certain, and that is that the next- legislature must take hold of the prison Question and work reforms, for today the prisons of Penn sylvania are a disgrace. So bad are the conditions in the Western penitentiary in Pittsburg that the federal government is to remove its prisoners from there. Filthy and unsanitary are the words which de scribe the situation. Here in Philadel phia, in the Eastern penitentiary, the management is unquestionably far bet ter. There is nothing filthy about the Philadelphia prison. The men are treated decently. It it Is still a dis grace to civilization it is so not because the management can help it, but because the law itself is at fault. The cells are overcrowded, hence they can "THE ASPHALT

They took a little gravel And they, took a little tar, With various ingredients Imported from afar; They hammered it and rolled it And when they went away They said they had a pavement That would last for many a day. But they.came with picks and smote It To lay a water main. And then they called the workmen To put it back again. To run a railroad cable They took it up some more; And they put it back again Just where it was before. ; They took It up for conduits To run the telephone. And then they put it back again As hard as any stone. They took it up for wires To feed the electric light. And then they put it back again ' Which was no more than right .

not be sanitary. Nor can this huddl

ing of men together he anything but a menace in Itself. Criminal locked up with criminal simply fosters crime. We have got to have a new system an enlightened, up-to-date system. Our prison laws so far as they relate to the confinement of prisoners are antiquated and dangerous. Etiquette of Polar Exploration. From the Springfield Republican. The report that Capt. Bartlett. the skipper of Peary's fchip, would like to try for the south pole and win the glory of being the first "white man" to locate it is not to his discredit; and this is said with full appreciation of the fact that the south pole venture is already being regarded as, in some peculiar sense, the monopoly of a small group of English explorers. Lieut. Shackleton's recent journey over the antarctic plateau to within 111 miles of the "boreal center" in that part of the earth so greatly stimulated British interest that Capt. Scott has promptly begun to organize an expedition for the completion of the south polar "conquest." Capt. Scott has the best wishes of us all. May he gratify his ambition. But if there is another who wishes to enter , the race for such honors, whether Bartlett, or Jones, or Brown, or Smith, why should he be de barred because Scott is known to cherish the desire to arrive first? The Polar Quarrel. From the Baltimore American. The Peary-Cook controversy is getting more involved than ever. It is a tan gle of who knew and who didn't, who told and who wouldn't, with angry par tisan passions rising higher every hour, until the general acrimonious at mosphere bids fair to make suspense of fair judgment, waiting proofs, im possible. It is a thousand pities that so great an achievement should be at tended by so ugly a quarrel. The Triumphant Cooks. From the St. Cloud (Minn.) Journal Press. It was Cant. Cook who first sailed around the world, and it - was Dr. Cook who has first hitched his sled to the north pole. It is the cooks that rule the universe. Hopeful Prince. From the New York Mail. The Prince of Wales will hunt big game in East Africa next winter. Strange that he should expect to find any after what has happened. TWINKLES (BY PHILANDER JOHN80N.) Training. "The terrible cuietude at the north pole must be hard to endure." "Yes," answered the New Yorker. "But that explorer had a great deal of valuable discipline. He used to live in Brooklyn." A Discussion of Ownership. "What's this comet they're talking about?" asked Mr. Growcher. ''Oh, you mean Halley's comet," re plied the man who always tries to have an answer. "Who's Halley?" "I don't know. But it's Halley's comet." "Well, let it go at that. But I'd like PAVEMENT

HAVE A HOLIDAY FOR JEXECUTIOWS While Three Men Are Guillotined, French Crowds Make Merry.. DRINK, DANCE AND SING POLICE HAD TO PATROL SCENE OF EXECUTION TO PREVENT THE CONGESTION BECOMING TOO DANGEROUS. (American News Service) Paris, Sept. 23. A holiday occasion was made of the public guillotining of three desperate criminals at Valence and great crowds, gathered from neighboring towns and villages, wait ed all through the night in order to secure the most advantageous posi tions at the execution. The three criminals, Liottard, David and Berruyer were notorious for their whole sale murders, robberies and outrages The execution was set for 5 o'clock this morning at Valence. Early last night crowds began gathering about the prison gates. Men brought their wives and children; swains came with their sweethearts. All made merry drinking wine and dancing upon the village green. It was necessary for the gendarmes to patrol the crowds during the decapitations so eager were those in the rear to press forward, After the executions the fete contin ued with more wine drinking, songs and dancing. ; , FOUND HOT GUILTY John Fitzgerald Exonerated of The Cruelty to Animals Charge. PROVES HIS INNOCENCE. John Fitzgerald was found not guilty In the city court yesterday afternoon by Judge Converse on the charge of cruelty to animals. Monday Fitzgerald engaged a horse and rig from the livery barn of William Knolle on North Fifth street. In company with Earnest Kelley he drove to a farm house west of the city where Fitzgerald got ou of the buggy and instructed Kelley to return the horse to the livery barn. Kelley, who was slightly under the Influence of liquor at the time, asserted in court yesterday that the horse ran away with him throwing him out of the vehicle. He stated that he was not able! to locate the animal and did not thlnklit neces-

sary to notify tho liveryman of the runaway. The horse was found on South Six teenth street the next day greatly fa tigued and suffering from hugh whelts and cuts over its anatomy. That someone is guilty of extreme cruel treatment is evident and the matter involved a fine point of law as to whether Fitzgerald was responsible for the horse after It left his hands. Kelley was fined for intoxication and it is probable that a charge of cruelty to animals will be' placed against him when his present sentence expires.
