whitue the hitch is. If Fred Keller entera the mayoralty race in the citizens' party the primaries held at tho end of August may rival In Interest tho.se held in the first week of tho month. Tho democrats are certain to have a good fight on August ('. though tho republican and hull moos: primaries will doubtless fail to furnish any excitement. But Tvith Swyart, a former republican, Place, a former democrat, and Keller, a former bull mooser fighting for the citizens' nomination, the chances would be fine for a primary battlo In which men of all parties might enter to seek to confound the original plan of the Tribune-Triumvirs, and tho boasted non-partisanship of the project m Hwamped. The "unco' good" element of the citizens' movement, which is talking1 good citizenship and seeking political power, isn't blind to the fact tha tho Swygart following Is simply trying to capture the new party and make. It a republic? movement in all but name. Tho ohi lino republicans wno have gone into the citizens' movement for ono motive or another will hardly .bo ablo to forget that Keller led the bull moose revolt in t. Joseph county last fall, that revolt which ended so disastrously for tho onco grand old party. Keller quit tho county committee in tho midst of the campaign to direct tho attack against it. Place's statement that if he is elected, ho wouldn't pay his political debts to tho Tribune by handing oer all tho city printing may make it easier for that newspaper to support some other candUlato even in tho face of its own beliefs that tho citizens' party would have to nominate a democrat to win. The prospective entry cf Keller in
to the raco Justifies earlier predictions that the Triumvirs themselves would have to rim in order to have candidates they could support. Next to himself, the Tribune editor would rather support Keller or Happ. Next to himself, Happ would rather support Keller. As long as the triumvirs aro represented ono big object may ba considered gained. Humors that still another candidatemight enter tho citizen's party race after tho Aug. G primaries, a candidate who would bo satisfactory to the llapp-Kcller-Tribune group aro still In circulation, and furnish the dopesters with 'another line of speculation. The underlying thing seems to bo this that as long as the TribuncTrlumvtr crowd has started the new party, it would be a shame to have any one else come along and take it away from them. They have to have some one heading the ticket who will follow their orders, and secure to them the political power and public printing, the two great objects of the campaign. If it wero not that tho candidate, whoever ho is. must face tho peoplo and earn a nomination and election by
their votes, the problem would bo

CATECHISM l'OH THi: DAY'. 'hat is a "citizens' " party? A party composed of citizens. Does it differ from republican, progressive or democratic parties? O, yes. In what particular? In its makeup. How is it made up? By a syndicate which seeks to take advantage of circumstances to get control of the government. Does this make it better than any other party? No. Aren't all of the good citizens of the town members of it? Well, hardly. How many are? Three that we know of.
Who aro they? William Happ, F;ed Keller
Grandma Trlb. Aro they good citizens? Wo refuse to answer. Are thero no other members? Yes, but they don't count. Why not? Thero aro not enough. Why is a citizens' party? Because Grandma Trib wants the city printing. Any other reason? Yes. What? Happ and Keller want anything they can get. What business are they In? Real estate. O, I eee.

ADVISED TO TAKE A 1 1 EST. One of the results of the conference between Pres. Wilson and Ambassador Wilson that Ikls become known is that the president has advised the ambassador to take a rest. The ambaii-udor has been subjected to & long nervous strain and the president is apprehensive of the conse
quences. In diplomatic language the suggestion of a cessation of labor and care meanj putting the ambassador down and out by easy stages. In diplomacy harshness and abruptness are avoided as much as possible. Bike a symphony in music the process meanders by paths that are smooth and pleasant and bads naturally and easily to the climax. There is no ahock. Ambassador Wilson doubtlt ss was. or at lease, should have been, prepared to pass through a process of this kind. IBs tactless interviews on landing in New York indicated that lie knew lie had reached the beginning of the end cf his mission to Mexico. He manifested, if h did rmt express, contempt for the administration and its policy toward Mexico. So far out of harmony with Pres. Wilson's ideas was Ambassador Wilson that it was imposclb.e for him to continue to represent this government. The point of divergence in tho views Of Me president and his ambassador rests on a moral question. The ambassador would forget the past, let bygones be bygones and accept the Huewta government for better or n-orse, attaching no condition except pertain pledges to the United States, rhe president cannot reconcile such 1 policy with his sen:-e of right and lonor. H feels too heavily for that .he responsibility f the United States :0 the peopb of Mexico. A:nl).L":iilor Wilson should, there- . 'ore, take a rest, and his physical conUtion may he probably will be Mich .hat In'jdftiee to himself he cannot o tiikfcd to ruumo his duties in the

AN INSIBIOI S ATTACK. Tho selling of government two per
cent bonds at a discount of four and
a half per cent is attributed to oppo
sition to the currency bill. Sec. Mc
Adoo openly charges New York bank
ers with an attempt to cause uneasiness about these bonds for the purpose named. Two-thirds of these bonds are held by tho country banks, that is banks outside the larger financial centers, to secure circulation, and it is easy to understand that if tho depreciation of theso securities could bo attributed to tho currency bill powerful opposition to 'that measure would follow. Sec. McAdoo exposes the foundatlonless
character of this impression. He uives pood reasons for the bonds remaining at par. Under the provisions of the new banking and currency bill the two per cent bonds aro made convertible into three per cents and a definite period has been fixed for their redemption at par with interest. Tho beating down of these bonds was therefore purely fictitious and can be explained only on tho hypothesis that it was done for the purpose charged by Sec. McAdoo. The indictment is a serious one. It shows to what lengths tho money power in New York will go to maintain its control of the finances of the country. Nothing is too sacred for these New York banks to attack or destroy if their selfish ends can be served. The credit of tho government, which has stood unimpaired ami unquestioned for a century and a quarter, Is not safe from their insidious methods, or would not bo but for the exposure of their purposes, such as that made by Sec. McAdoo. DISCOVERED THEIIt MISTAKE.
It took a Michigan couplo twentyfive years to discover they had made a mistake when they got a divorce. Meantime the woman had married a second time and lost her husband by death. Perhaps tho intervening years may have taught them also that for a man and woman to live together happily It is necessary for them, to bear and forbear. Tliis couple had two children before they separated. After living together that long and passing through those experiences they must have been very foolish or lacking in love for each other to permit differences to arise that broke up their family relations. If reason and patience and forbearance come with years perhaps they will be sensible enough aot -o repeat their folly. The experiment, however, is not without its danger.. It will be necesiiry for them to be very discreet if the differem e.s which, separated them years ago are not resurrected. The
memory is at times an unpleasant (
companion. It recalls tne most undesirable things. If this man and woman have (the steadfastness of purpose to forget or to keep the past buried, or the clearer conception 'to regard their separation as folly they may get along, but the chances are rather against it. Their remarriage is likely to be me. re a matter of convciiince than th j romptings of the original love they may hae had for each other. In their loneliness their thoughts have
J naturally reverted to each other. It will be fortunate if lose has revived with recollection. 1

NEW YORK, July CO. Are there really grown-up folks in this country who don't read the newspapers? It seems hard to believe. But, when one thinks of the columns and columns of stuff that have been printed in the papers of this country, in the last ten or twenty years, about the "wire-tapping swindle" and then considers tho "remarkable experience of Edward Bee Baxter Davison of Char
lotte, N. C. well, listen to it.
Mr. E,dward, etc., stopped off in
New lork enrotito from Charlotte to
Europe. lie had some $800 in regu lar money and a draft for $10,000
He stopped at one of the choicest
hotels and while he was peaceably taking in the splendors of its lobby, human and architectural, one warm afternoon, a man whom he did not know addressed him. When one is addressed by a man one does not know in New York, tho customary procedure is to place one hand on the wallet, the other on the timepiece and scan the olfing for a cop. But Mr. Edward, etc., did not know this. He conversed fearlessly with the stranger as one converses fearlessly with a stranger in Charlotte. Mr. Jones, for that was the stranger's name, soon introduced a Mr. Harris, who had a scheme for making money by tapping the wires which run from the race tracks and betting money on horses which had alrer.Jy won. Mr. Jones and ?.. Edward, etc., gave Mr. Harris money and he won some wagers for them. After cashing several bets of varying size, Mr. Edward, etc., saw a chance to make a fortune at one fell sv.'oop. He would wager his $10,000 draft. Jones and Harris demurred at the draft." They said It w;is bad badness handling drafts In the wire-tapping business. Wouldn't Mr. Edward, etc., go back to Charlotte, get his draft cashed and bring them tho money. He did. BeMeve It or not, he DID. But in Charlotte he happened to speak to Fran Osborne, one of his neighbors and a brother of James W. Osborne, a prominent New York attorney and former assistant prosecutor, about the get-rich-quick enterprise. Frank advised him to see brother Jim before ho put up tho $10,000. As soon as Jim Osborne could control his mirth, after hearing the story of Edward, etc.. he directed the Charlotter to the office cf Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty. The latter telegraphed to Frank Osborne, instructing him to telegraph to Jones and Harris, who had given a New York hotel address, and advise them that Edward, etc.. would arrive in New York on a certain day over the Pennsylvania railroad. On that day Edward, etc., went over to Newark and took a train back to New York. When he got off the train Detective Vancott got off just behind him and nabbed Jones and Harris even as they stretched out hands of greeting to their friend from Charlotte. They proved to be a well-known pair of con men.

Mayor Walker and the town marshal didn't feel equal to tho job of rounding up tho bunch. Then a brilliant idea struck him. He just swore in the Rev. Mr. Glover as a deputy marshal. And the Rev.

to ooaave yourselves. Gun-hand up: To tho Jail! Forward!" They paid their fines and determined to get even. On the Fourth of July all the cow punchers flock into town to celebrate. The disgruntled ones decided to organize a party and tar and feather Glover. He had planned to spend tho Fourth in Grand Junction, but he got wind of the plot and decided to stick around, with his gun ready. The party didn't come off. Tho "soreheads" would have had trouble getting recruits, anyhow. For most of the cow punchers like and admire Glover. He knows their life as he knows the life of the miners and railroad men, and joins in the round-up as cheerfully as he rides 4 0
miles over rocky mesas to make a clerical call. "The cowboys are a good-hearted lot," says Glover. "And on the whole they're pretty decent. It isn't like the old days when they'd swarm into the church on Sunday and kick over the seats and shoot out tho lights and break up the meeting. "If I have any success it's because "I ignore the eastern traditions of the way a minister should act and adapt myself to the life of the people I serve. ".Social service Is the game, whether in De Beque, New Y'ork or Mozambique, and we've got to bo men first and preachers afterward."
