Roosevelt has but one more chance at ia public message to Congress. We suppose, of course, he will issue a farewell address to that body. - I! An exchange says Kqoseveit is pre-. paring to hunt bears in South Africa next spring. We are afrfcid he will find few bears in that part of the world. ' It looks like the southern Democra cy is fast becoming a party of com mercial high tariff advocates, no mat- t,er what its views on tlhe question as a political issue. Just suppose Christmas had not been put back to December 25th from January 6th, when the calendar was changed! What a dry Christmcus the one this year would be to some folks! An Ohio widow gives an infatuated suitor a check for one hundred dollars to keep him from committing suicide, then stops payment of the check. Oh, these heartless merry widows! Uncle Sam had better hurry up with the digging of his Panama canal, else Mexico will get ahead of hiim in estab lishing inter-ocean traffic vHa the Te huantepec ship railway. Latest developments indicate that Mrs. Rice may have been more ac commodating than she would have the jury believe in the matter of helping Dr. Rustin get rid of his worldly trou bles. Wouldn't it be a good idea to sus pend the principles of the Monroe doctrine long enough to allow the Butch to make a lodgement on the coast of Venezuela land teacfhi Castro a good, wholesome lesson? It is said that about every other Democrat one meets in the State of Indiana is a candidate for the United States Senate. The Democrats have not had a chance of seats at the pie counter in that State for a long while. Charlotte seems to have a bigger job on her hands than building the ! Selwyn or the skyscraper office build- ing, or paving its streets and it is to get a form of government suitable to , pective rfejpid growth. Why should Southern Democratic papers object to "Brother Charles" go ing to the Senate? Wlhom-so-ever the Ohio Legislature may elect is bound to be a Republican and anyone is an improvement on Fonaker so far as the South is concerned. Frederick A. Hyde, of San Francis- to defraud the TTnitfid fitAtpa nf laree j vu.v. vr- tracts of land in Oregon and Washing Jon, was yesterday sentenced in the strict of Columbia Criminal Court J Pay a fine of $10,000 and to serve two years in the penitentiary at Moundsvdlle, W.
