There is good medicine for tne multitude of eroakera who are forever complaining that they have "nover had a fair chance," in tne story wnicn came from New Jersey the other day, concerning the rescue from drowning of two boys by a crippled companion. Also the tale Is one to stir tne reaaer s admiration, and to call for the atten tion of the Carnegie Hero runa com mission. Joseph Uilllgan Is a MorrUtown boy of eighteen years, with only stumps of legs and one arm. Wke many other crlDDles. he has acquired great faclll v In the use of his disabled members and he can swim vigorously. He naa gone swimming In the gravel pit pond at Morris il'lalns; but was on shore. some distance from the water's edge, when the cry arose that two twelve year-old boys had been upset from a boat, out lu tho deep part of me pona Whfle others looked on Inactive, with frantic cries of terror, paralysed by fear. Qtlllgan dragged biW fragment of a body over the ground Intervening between him and the water and piung cd in. He caught one boy before he had finitlly gone down, and swam with him to shallow water. Returning, ne dived for the boy who bad sunk, and after a long submergence he brought him also to shore, tucked under the stump of his arm; and the lad was soon revived. The story is a tonic. Most persons need Its admonition to win out in spite of handicaps. 8o long as tne uert is brave and unhampered. Do other 11ml' tatlona need to count greatly. The very process of overcoming shortcom ings gives added power for the latter struggles with life. It is not always the men with the greatest native strength who bear the largest share of 4 he world's burdens; nor those endow ed Wlin, tne oesi- equipmcni wuu uv most of Its work. The handicapped per. sons are often winners in life's race; because their hearts and wills have made up Cor deficiencies In body, mind or curcumstances. W1LX, HE COMK BACK? Iroulo Appeal JAr tho Return Roosevelt. 8t. loui Post-Dispatch. Of The Paris Journal thinks Mr. Roose velt Is "sure to return to the helm of Bute before we are much older." There is reason to believe that some such idea possesses Mr. Roosevelt's own mind. Whether Mr. Taft or Mr, Bryan Is President during the coming four years it is a sure guess that things will not go well. We shall be sadly In need of saving, and who can save us but the mighty man of valor and renown who has been saving us so Industriously for the past seven years? As Solon, when he had completed bis great work for Athens. went away that the Athenians might learn to toddle by themselves, so will Theodore Roosevelt disappear in the African Jungle that we may take our first lesson in saving ourselves. But just as the Athenians made a mess of It In the absence of the great man, so shall we show our feebleness when our great protector leaves ua Mr. Roosevelt will come again. He will save us again. He has our wel fare at heart and will not leave us in the lurch. Now let us pray that the hippopotamuses and rhinoceroses, the Hons and the elephants, will spare him, for we cannot get along without btm. Anguftta Tliofnae on Bryan's SMe London Cable to The . New ' Tork Herald. If William Jennings Bryan should be elected President of the , United Btatea. his appointee to the court of at. James would be Mr.. Augustus Thomas, playwright. This was the statement mcrae to me to-day by a prominent American who gets his in formation from a sourc quite near to the possible Iemorratlc candidate. According to this Information, Au gustus Thomas, as a delegate to the Democratic national convention - will place Mr. Bryan's name before that body. , . IVaaoe on Alice. Boston Herald. 'Charming Mrs. Long worth! Always gracful and enthusiastic. It Is to. her noble efforts that Mr. Taft's nomina tion Is due." ears The Paris Uaulola, in all seriousness, apparently.

BACK TRACK OX TARIFF. American Kconomlst Reada "Stand Fat in Republican piatPurm .De rlares That , RevMon Iwnwarl Was Far iTora tbo Thought of Its J'Tamera. . ; New Tork Special - to Washington Herald. In discussing the tariff plank in the Republican platform, the current issue of The merlcan Economist says: "Advocates of the" tariff revision downward will And not a word syllable in this tariff plank that tends to furnish them the slightest crumb of comfort. . There Is no promise in the platform of tariff revision down ward; on the contrary the scope ana purpose of the tariff plank is to con tinue tha fullest measure of protec' tlon to all industries In the United States, and that the proposed revls ion -of the schedules shall maintain the standard of protection in every feature of the new law, " ' ."To those who believe that the nomination of William Howard Taft. of Ohio, would be a pledge of the party to a downward revision of. the tariff, the platform is a complete and unqualified answer. The nomination of Representative James S. Sherman, of New Tork. as the candidate for Vice President, is a still further and more substantial pledge of the sanity and soundness of the Republican par ty in dealing with tha great issue which confronts the people in the Presidential campaign, namely, that there shall be no back-track move ment on - the tariff; question, either in the campaign or In the legislation promised by the party following the inauguration of the new admlnistra tlon. . " v "It will be found that the universal opinion of thinking Republicans that the Presidential ticket for 1108 Is well balanced. TJie head of James a Sherman is all iMght If Taft has at an ytlme gone too far In his ad vocacy of tariff tinkering, he has not been able to carry the Republican party with him. "It is, perhaps, not surprising that promptly upon the announcement of tne nomination of Secretary Taft. In deed, before the ticket was completed reports were circulated here that li Is to be the plan and nurnoae of Mr. Taft throughout the campaign, and in nis puoiio utterances, which would of course, Include his inaucural ad- areas on March 4th next to attemnt to hold the party to a policy of tariff revision oownward. It Is fair say that thla renort is not erdUl .lere, ana certainly It does not do Justice to the nominee of the party. There is everr reason to hfiiev that Mr. Taft has been nominated under circumstances which Insure that he Is in run accord with every principle embodied in tha platform adopted at NO PUBLIC OWNERSHIP. " aornian K. Marie ' Says Democratic natrorm Will Not Mention It Lincoln (Nebr.) Dispatch to Ne York Herald. wo reference to the government ownership of railroads will be made in tne Democratic national platform. Positive confirmation of this decls ion wss obtained to-day from Kor man Mack, New Tork member of th Democratic national committee., after i. . . . i . . . . ne naa Drr.n in conference witn Wil liam J. Bryan for more than three hours. Mr. Mack, accompanied by Mrs. Mack arrived In Lincoln at 10 o'clock this morning. They were met at the Rock Island station by Mr. and Mra Bryan, who whirled them out to Fair- view, four and one-haif miles east of tho tqwn. In a smart rubber-tired trap drawn by a spanking team. After luncheon Mr. and Mrs. Bryan escorted their guests back to the station and the Macks proceeded to Denver In or der that Mr. Mack may be there Sat urday at the meeting of the national committee, which is to perfect the arrangements lor the convention. TAFFS LABOR DECISIONS. Mark One of Ills Weakneewcs as Candidate. New Tork World. Mr. Taft has many weaknesses as a candidate, the sum total of which might be disastrous if he were on posed by any other candidate than Mr. Bryan. The favor of Wajl street wUl hart him more than It helps him. The foolish, ostentatious public support of men uxe Harnman, schlff. Rockefel ler and Morgan will partlcalarly In Jure him. His close identifications with Mr. Roosevelt personally wPl hurt him. The manner of his nomination will hurt him.
