Of 199 candidates who passed the
mental examination at ihe Naval
Academy this year, 114 were rejected
because they did not come up to the
physical standard. Too many young
men who strive to be good students
neglect to rtake proper care of their
bodies. Some make the mistake of
assuming that to devote a certain part
of their time' i'.o severe athletics is
sufficient to Insure physical well-be
ing, forgetting that it is so much by
artificial means as by a healthful hab
it of life .that the best mental and
bodily condition Is maintained.
The railroad around Lake Baikal on
the i' ran s -Siberian line ha.i been about
compkted and is open for freight
traffic, but passengers and troops are
ferried over tbe lake, a3 passage by
water is mads in two hours, while it
takes four hours to go by rail ar
ound the lake. In the time which has
elapsed eince the beginning of the
Russo-Japanese war, work ou the long
line of railroad in Siberia has been
going on! The roadbed hai been im
proved, numerous new switchings
have been provided to facilitate the
passage of trains, and extensive addi
tions,, have been made to the equip
ment. The fact that General Kuro
pafkin has a sufficient force at his
command to justify him In taking the
offensive Is doubtless due to the re
cently Improved facilities of the
trans Siberian road.
ORDER AT THE CARNIVAL.
Senator Spooner and the stalwarts
will go away back and sit down.
Kuropatkin seems to have been held
for downs before he got started.
The estate of the late Postmaster
General Payne Is valued at 7o0,000.
Postmaster General Wynne is Just
getting the chair good and warm for
tome good Democrat.
Tom Taggart denies that Mr. Bryan
has admitted that Nebraska would
go for Roosevelt But what does Mr.
Bryan say?
William Jennings Bryan will spend
the last week In October In Illinois.
Here's a welcome to the great Ne-braskan.
The whirlwind campaigns have be
gun in the doubtful states and from
now on the appeals of tbe spellbinders
will be heard everywhere.
Tom Taggart says the Democrat
are going to carry Indiana. It mus:
be admitted that Tom knows a good
deal about the Hoosier state.
According to comparative claims
made by both campaign managers
Pennsylvania and Texas are about th?
only state that are not doubtful.
Coney, he who led the army if
tramp to the capitnl steps at Wash
ington, is out for Roosevelt. Judge
Parker is grateful for the opposition.
A great deal of complaint Is being
made about the way the negroes are
conducting themselves during the car
nival, especially a' night. The Bulle
tin has received complaints on this
line, both by mail and by telephone.
Several times last night the editor of
The Bulletin received messages over
the 'phone, asking him to condemn
the conditions complained of and de
mand thai. tlh)y bo stopped.
In the first place, the editor of The
Bulletin doe n't know just how much
virtue there is In the complaints. In
the second place, he 1b too busy to
meddle with I'.hings that do not con
cern him and wCth which he has
no more to do than any other private
citizen. The editor of The Bulletin
is always ready to do what he can
for the public and for popular rights,
but he is not a regulator of ("he uni
verse. He sees nothing he caj do
In the matter, unless he should gird
himself with boss pistols and bowie
knives and go out and command or
der in the which he would be just
as big a law breaker as anybody else
but Just now he Is too happy and
contented with tho world to run the
risk of lying in prison for wholesale
murder.
So far as the complaint referred to
is concerned, the editor of The Bulle
tin "is not the mayor of the city, nor
chief of police, nor has he supervl-lon
over the;e oftlcera in any form, shape
or fashion. Some persons seem to
labor under one of these impressions.
As to the negroes I'aklng the street
fair, the negroes, ro far as we know,
have as much right to go to the fair
as the whites. If they go In fwh
vast numbers as to cause it to be said
that fhey "took" the fair, that is
perfectly legit imate. The fair is here
to be "taken." and the street fair
managers are doubtless anxious fur It
to be "taken." That Ia, of course,
taken peacefully.
If he negroes become unruly, If
they man lie-1 a (liiosiilon In any)
ay to violate the law, or to do things
which they have no right tj do, If
they become Insolent and try to In
terfere wi h the rights of others, then
they should be promptly arrested and
hustled to jail. and we take it that
they will I-. That is all there is to
the matter. And it's a matter strict
ly for the police department of the
city.
Chief Price has at his command, in
addition to bis regular force, quite -a
number of extra officers. They are
amply able to see that the law is
obeyed In every parMcular, and it I
reasonable to supinrse that they wiil
pratect the public peace, and prompt
ly squelch all semblance of rowdy
Ism.
Chief Price has manifested a dis
position and an ability to thoroughly
tsforcc the law. If you have a com
plaint, make it to him. The Bulletin
is not on the police force.
Thomas E. Watson, Populist candl
ditto for president of the United State
suddenly fin himself tho object of
most distinguished consideration on
the part of all Republican newspa
pers and orators,
It was only a few years ago that Mr,
Watson was defined extensively In tho
Republican dictionaries as a '"red
headed lunatic from Georgia," as uu
"enemy of the- u.trlonal honor," as
'crazy Populist," as a "c-ank," as
"mountebank" and a "blatant dema
gogue." Hut the times have changed
and the Republicans have chang
with them. Mr. Watson is now a very
able man, perhap.i a great man not
altogether right on a few trifling h
sues such as currency, the tariff, lh)
regulation of trusts, but withal a man
of high character, real convictions
and forensic eloquence of the first or
de.
Every Republican editor Is hanging
upon Mr. Watson's words ami sipping
wisdom from them. Every attack
made by Mr. Watson on Judge Parker
is hailed as the unprejudiced opinion
ot a great author and siatman. Mr.
Watson's speeches have the right of
way In the columns of every RepuLlt
can newspaper, l he nun wa3 so
eager to print, hia letter of acceptance
that it could not wait for the formal
release, and niado the letter public
twenty-four hours In advance of the
date agreed upon for publication.
Even some of Mr. Bryan's Democrat
ic friends who r,noered at Mr. Wat
son's candidacy for vice president in
1890 find that Mr. Watson as an as
sailant of Judge Parker Is "the plain
peepul's solitary single-minded
friend." ,
Such favorable consideration from
former opjionents iiist lit very grati
fying to Mr. Watson. No doubt the
cat was greatly encouraged by the
monkey's unstinted applause thr
while she was pulling the simian's
chestnuts out of the lire.- New York
World.
CHICAGO'S WAY.
Saturday was Chicago day at the
World's fair, and "Chicago wa;s the; ?
100.0UO strong. It is related that when
the advance guard .struck St. Loul:
the Inhabitants of tbe Mound City
opened their eyes in wonderment and
thought that Chicago had dono pr.-tfy
well, but imagined that was all. Tten
when special after special kept rolling
in, crowded with denizens of the
Windy City, St. Louisiana went off in
a daze. Nothing like it had ever been
seen and nothing'like It will be seen
unless Birmingham should decide to
have a celebration. Those 100,000
stalwart visitors were Chlcagoans ta
the core. They were typical of the
spirit that has builded a miracle-city
on the marshes. They went to the
fair, not simply for an outing, but to
answer when Chicago's name was
called. They f!t that tho reputation
of Chicago was at stake and they wer,1
there to ,;tand up fur her. Chicago
may be unlovely In some respects,
but she is the happy xissessor of a
loyal and public Spirited citizenship
that never falls when the Interest ot
Chicago Is concerned. All honor to
such citizenry. The celebration Sat
urday was just another of Chicago
admirable ways of doing well what
ever Is worth doing at all Birming
