Tlio ljiirgem liberty Consistent
Tho World Herald takes exception to
tho resolutions adopted by tho repub
lican convention of tho Third district
because it declares for tho largest lib
erty consistent with tho character of tho
inhabitants of tho Philippines That
im nor compares this liberty with that
proposed by Abraham Lincoln with tho
uvidout belief that it has mado a lluo
point and it has on tho faco of its com
ments but it could woll afford to dolvd
deopcr Liberty is a word much
abused by democracy lately and they
endeavor to give to it nil impossible
moaning For argument sake they
chooso to have liberty moan license but
would soon sot up a groat protest was
this idea carried out to the fullest ex
tent
Abraham Liiicoln froad tho nogroos
but this freedom for which so many
men of ihe north fought and bled did
not mean that tho negro could do as ho
pleased It did not say to him You
aro freo to steal to niurdor to ravish
nuil it has not yot been demonstrated
that thoy ore oven freo to voto and exer
cise thor rights as Amoricau citizens
Tho plantation owners and overseors of
tho south fought for what thoy deemed
thoir liborty to hold buy sell and
work slaves but this liberty was
donied them
The jails and penitentiaries aro full of
men who havo very littlo liberty yot
thoy huvo some consistent with tho
character of tho inhabitants thereof
Thoy woro imprisoned becauso thoy
sought to oxerciso too great a degn o of
liborty
Tho insino asylums havo iutnatos in
padded padlocked and sound proof cells
thoir liborty U still furjuer curtailod
Some aro even bouud hand nud foot to
keep thomsolvos from doing personal
injury their liborty is very much cur
tailed Others aro allowed to go and
como as they pleaso A superintendent
would bo very union abused and would
soon lose Ids position who would give
them all tho largost liborty possible IIo
gives them liberty iu tho largest degree
consistent with their character and dis
position
In tho United States a vory small pro
portion of tho inhabitants aro incar
cerated in penitentiaries aud asylums
but thoro aro none but who havo their
liberties prescribed Were it not so
there would bo anarchy and riot tho
strong would control the weak and
pandemonium would reign A inau s
liberty is bounded by his environments
Iu tho center of u vacant field ho can
stride and kick aud do almost as he
pleases so long as he does not destroy
property or injure or anuoy other peo
ple but sot him iu tho midst of a crowd
nud his liberty is materially reduced aud
if he tried to Ftriko or kick ho would
soou bo iu trouble nud iu the clutches of
tho law A public speaker gave a nice
delinition of liberty when he said that a
person might strike out at will when no
porfiou was near hut if nnothur persons
noso happened to be located where his
strike ended he would at once get into
trouble
In the Philippines thorn aro people
who me deserving of every liberty ac
corded a free born right noting Allied
can citizen but there aro a largo num
ber of them whoso liberty for the
protection of tlie lives and proporty of
others must bo controlled by fear and
force If necessary Tho strongest tribe
would very noon soon reduce tho llboi ty
of other and weiker tribes and tho
strongest moil of the strongest tribe
would enjoy a degree of liberty not to
be attained by weaker members of tho
same tribe
Liberty of the kind deinandod by tho
World Herald for the Filipinos would
mean the ruin of that country and it
would bo a pest hole on the fuco of the
worlds civilization
The liberty consistent witli tho
inhabitants thereof would mean tho
largest liberty possible under all cir
cumstances and would ho the best con
ceivable
The resolution adopted by the Third
district republicans is satisfactory to
well meaning sensible people and will
not be changed because it does not con
form to tho World Herald idea

Knew quite well and used to see a great
ileal of hencver he visited my home
He was a most Interesting mail and
perfectly wonderful with his peculiar
tricks
In connection with his nblllty td

what might be their size I remember n
nil her Interesting story that used to bo
told about lilin lie wuh one night at
a dinner In one of the clubs bore aud
the conversation turning naturally ou
palming as a Hue art Herrmann was
asked by a fellow diner If ho could
palm a quart bottle of champagne
Previous to answering the query the
magician pulled up the sleeve of his
coat exposing his right arm almost to
the elbow and then taking a bottle of
chnmimguc In his band said To palm
an object successfully It must be sufll
clently small either to bo concealed by
the hand Itself or by hnnil and wrist
combined In the case of a bottle of
champagne that as you will observe
Is Impossible for the body of the bottle
is of too great girth for the wrist to
conceal and a portion will project on
one side or the other or on both sides
as the case may be The only way 1
can think of to dispose of a bottle of
champagne Is to do as 1 now do with
this one throw It nt that waiter over

Suiting tho notion to tlio word bo

force at a waiter standing near the oth

SCORPIONS AND FIRE
The lolmiiioim AiiIiiiiiIn Arc Pnrtlcu
lurly SeiiNllUv to Heat
An Interesting question has from
time to time been discussed by natu
ralists and physiologists as to whether
the scorpion commits suicide by sting
ing himself with his own venomous
dart Experiments have often been
made which consist In surrounding
the scorpion with n circle of lire usual
ly formed of small pieces of burning
coals
One may then see the animal agitate
bis tall in the air waving his dart to
and fro over his bead In a desperate
movement and dually fall deatl ap
pearing to have decided that ho could
not escape the Humes and to have in
oculated himself with his own venom
This idea is now however found to be
erroneous as It has been proved that
the scorpion Is not affected by his own
venomous fluid and the hypothesis of
his suicide cannot be maintained It
appears from later observations made
upon the death of the scorpion under
the conditions In question that a more
simple explanation is to be found
Scorpions are In fact sensitive to
heat and are easily killed by n temper
ature not exceeding rt degrees centi
grade If one concentrate tho solar
rays upon a scorpions back by means
of a lens one may observe that he tries
I leans of his tall to remove tho
i tu -e of discomfort It is tills move
luett of defense which has hitherto
been mistaken for one of suicide nnd
iu reality the scorpion has been killed
by the heat to which he has been ex
posed under such circumstances

which cramps his thoughts restricts

time and engenders prejudiced agnlnst
all else that Is different comes from
living In a groove Instead of living In

All men are more or less subject to
the dominion of habit but there Is a
wide difference between tho habits of
thought and action which give men
greater breadth of view mentally with
greater usefulness in the material af
fairs of life anil those which reduce
men to a life within a horizon limited
by their homes and their business In

In an environment of life made up
of repetitious of dally acts which are
unchangeable a inau will necessarily
become more or less automatic in

engrossed his mind and his attention
nnd he has come to know his trade so
well with the Immense benefits nnd

because there is no change
There is no great breadth of mental

of so living because the rut is Iu evi

must necessarily be worse because he
tloes not use them nnd cannot see thorn
Sections drift Into a rut as men do
The west msy by self communing ex
alt itself above the east The east may
hy like process consider that elsewhere
nil else Is lacking In the essentials of
civilization The south jnny look upon
the north as n section tilled with men
who swap jnckknlyes nnd whittle out
glmcrncks while the north on the oth
er hnnd may be sure that the chief In
dustry of the south Is the making of
mint juleps nnd the oppression of the
humble black man
The man In a rut nnd the section iu n

People go east and south and north and
west nnd find there Is no grouud for

to admire
Tho growth of sport hns In like man

BUCKED HIS SUPERIOR
Inntihorillnnf Ion Tor Wlitrti the Pcr
littrator AVnn Not Iuri Inlicil
In connection with nn ofllcinl order
of mime Hort or other I forget Just
what I happened to see the name tho
otlror tiny of nn ofllcer of tho United
Hlntes army win 10 or 12 years ago
gave a remarkable exhibition of whats
called Insubordination and yet ho got
away with It said a Washington man
who reilieinbors things Never mind
Ids name He was nttnehod to nn nrtil
lery regiment In the capacity of n tlrst
Hetitcnnnt tit tho time nnd wns serving
l Sovernors Island In New York har
bor The regiment to which he be
longed wns commanded by a colonel of
Bluguhirly haughty temperament who
didnt take much stock Iu the enlisted
mnu nnd who Iu turn didnt stand
deuce high In the estimation of tho
bucks
Well one extremely hot morning
the colonel gave the order thnt nil of
the batteries of artillery stationed nt
Coventors Island should bo put through
u couple of hours of tho Infantry drill
right nfter the gunrtl mount It wns
during otto of New Yorks fnnious hot
spells when men were keeling over
Htinstruck by tho score in tho big
town The temperature on Governors
Island was about 100 In tho shade on
this morning nnd on the open parade
ground under the tierce rays of the
sun the bent wns something devilish
Lieutenant woll 1 came ncur giving
you his mime then this lieutenant Im
speaking of wns ordered to put tho
men through the drill It looked like
pretty sinnll work to order men out to
drill In heavy inarching order thnt
wns the colonels command on such a
morning but the lieutenant had to
obey order He took the men who
were pretty sore over tho business out
on tlio parade ground nnd began to
drill thcin After about 15 minutes the
weaker men In tho battnllon begnn to
keel over nnd no wonder The bent
wns Insufferable nnd for men In heavy
mnrchlng order It was simply unendur
able The post surgeon seeing the
men drilling on the parade ground and
noticing thnt tho men were dropping
from exhaustion went up to the colo
nel who wns looking on from the
shade of n tree nnd told him flatly that
the drill must cense Perhnps you
dont hnppen to know thnt In a mntter
of this sort tho say so of nn army sur
geon Is final The post surgeon can
override tho commanding ofllcer when
It comes to a matter of tho mens
health Well the colonel told tho sur
geon that the drill wouldnt cease any
thing of the sort nnd there were some
warm words between the two ofllcers
which wound up by the surgeon snylug
that If the men werent Immediately
sent to their qunrters he wouldnt be
responsible for the consequences The
lieutcnmit heard all of this parley
while the battnllon wns stnnding nt pa
rade rest and the Inhumanity and
stubbornness of tho colonel mnde him
pretty hot under the collar speaking
figuratively He was already pretty
hot all over literally He know that he
had a sort of bulge seeing that the
surgeon Iwitl ordered that tho men be
taken off the parade ground but he
would probably have ncted just as he
did anyhow He walked straight up to
the colonel saluted him gravely and
said
Colonel the men nre suffering It
Is inhuman to force them to drill iu
tills temperature I beg to request that
you permit mo to dismiss them
Sir you will return to the head of
the battalion and drill it said the colo
nel domineeringly
The lieutenant calmly drew his
sword from Its scabbard placed It on
his upraised knee deliberately broke it
in two cast the two pieces as far as he
could looked the colonel square In the
eye nnd said
Sir with you as one of Its officers
the United States army Is no fit place
for a gentleman
Go to your quarters under nrrest
thundered the colonel nnd the lleutcn
nnt calmly moved off to his quarters
I dont believe ever In the
whole history of armies was such n
bold thing ns thnt done by nn Inferior
In the fnce of n superior ofllcer But
ns 1 sny he got away with It Tho
colonel on cooling down knew that he
wns distinctly nnd dnngerously In tho
wrong He relensed tho youug ofllcer
from nrrest within two hours nnd tho
matter was hushed up If it hndever
come to n court martial case tho lieu
tenant would probably have lost his
commission ou general principles but
theres everything in knowing Just
