CHASGE IM ADD tetivstaalreliaswallas HOPE FOR THE PEOPLE. The Denver Open House was packed with people. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts held their attention for a time, bnt they were impatient to hear "Teddy." He was late. He had not yet arrived. Expectation became noisy, restless, hostile. Presently we heard the low grumble of a crowd shontine in the street The word was cried about that he was coming. And almost immediately, in a crash of mu sic from the band, he strode down to the footlights and meed the shouting audience. He looked tired. But without waiting for . silence, with his head down as if he were about to charge, he bared his teeth and uttered some thing unintelligible in a hoarse voice. The audience roared. He took a long breath, watching them, dogged, de termined, filling his lungs; and then with a sudden gesture that compelled silence he screamed at them, with all his teeth showing: "We stand on a gold platform!" It came to them like a blow in the face; and before they could take voice, he adding, pounding out the words with his first: "We stand for same thing in Colorado that we stand for in New York!" He got no further. The shout of applause that followed came in a roar of delight from a thousand throats. They cheered him as if he had said the one thing they had been waiting to hear, instead of the very thing that no Bepublican politican in Denver, would have dared whisper to any single one of them in the dark behind a locked door. They cheered him as if they would split their throats. A startled Democratic politican who stood near me cried: "Great 6! He hasn't converted this crowd to the gold standard, has he?" (The wisdom of politicans!) They cheered his cour age, his truth, his defiance of political hedging, his honesty, his manliness. It was the cheer of pride, of love, of admiration. It was the voice of our people raised to greet those very quali ties in a politician which the Beast has tried to crush. It was, to me, the voice of hope. I went' home that night resolved never to forget the lesson. Often since, when I have faced the hoot of prejudiced opposition from my own small stage in public life, I have remembered Roosevelt, and filled my lungs again, and cleared my throat for another defiance. For I believe in that way, with our people, there is hope. Judge Lindsey in the Novem ber Everybody's.

' The people are much displeased with the manner in which court busi ness is often conducted, but we doubt if they will ever accomplish reform. The people grumble a great deal, but steadily neglect public affairs. There is really no reason why the people should not have public affairs sensi bly, economically and expeditiously conducted, except that the politicians always manage to split the people into factions, and nothing is done. Almost every noted lawyer has con fessed that the courts are too slow and too expensive, and that they encourage litigation that k extremely discredi table in its character, if not positively dishonest. Yet nothing is done, ex cept to grumble. A writer in Atlan tic Monthly calls attention to a grim ly humorous illustration of one of the results to the litigant found in a New York law suit which reached a final chapter recently in the Court of Ap peals. It was a complex case against an insurance company on some poli-' cies of insurance, and each time it was tried it took from a week to two weeks' attention of court and jury. Owing to reversals and new trails-ordered by appellate courts, it had to be tried nine times. It was'in the courts from 1882 to 1902. The plaintiff be came at last so sick and dishearten ed with his interminable law suit that he abandoned it, refused his law- yers to consult with them about it or to appear when the case was being tried. The lawyers had themselves spent over forty-five hundred dollars' on fighting the case, and had worked on' it for nearly twentv years. Their client having abandoned them, they settled the case for thirty .thousand dollars, and took the money themselves for their fee. The 'last chapter of the litigation was an unsuccessful attempt by the receiver in insolvency of the plaintiff to make the lawyers give up some of their fee to their client's cred itors. How 'much the twenty years' delay in the law suit had to do with the insolvency it is impossible to say but such an outcome, to the lay mind, seems hardly satisfactory as a'result of twenty years of litigation, of nine trials, and seventy-two days' time of over a hundred jurors. In one of the fairly recent volumes of the New York Court of Appeals Reports is contained the last chapter of a famous and extraordinary case, which is a gross illustration of this in- terminableness, and an extreme though characteristic example of its results. The court record of the last chapter of this law suit is curt and obscure; hardly what one might ex pect for an extraordinary case. It consists of eight words: "Judgment and order affirmed with cost No opinion." These eight worcU make the close of a simple accident case in volving no difficult questions of law, which has been in the courts contin uously for twenty-two years. It had been tried before juries seven times. It has been argued in appellate courts ten times. The final bill of costs in the case, not including lawyers' charges or the cost of printing seven different volumes of testimony, each of from two or three hun dred pages, as required in appell ate courts on the various appeals, and not including any of defendants ex penses whatever, is over two thousand dollars. A conservative estimate of the expense of this litigation not in eluding lawyers' fees probably would be five thousands dollars. Atchison Globe.

Therltius mornings Sun day .atweigned about ten pounds, and .comprised all sorts of colored supplements, and sheet music, and wall paper, and doilies, and pi nk and green sections. The editorial page was especially admirable. There were six columns of moral and political essays, all point ing the way to the higher life. No man could read that editorial page without experiencing a desire to scale the heights and plant the standard of purity upon the whatyoucallims. That page was simply a clarion call, urging people to forsake error, and sin, and waywardness, and gird themselves with righteousness. Turning from the editorial page, the prospect is not so pleasing. Many fake doctors have their announcements there. They tell of impossible cures, they make the most absurd promises; they describe ghastly and sickening diseases in a brutally frank way, and often verge upon the indecent. Such advertisements are indescribably fil thy, and they cannot be read without injury to the morals, especially of the young. There were advertisements of patent medicines', making false claims as to their merits. The manufacturers of these medicines dare not print upon the labels the claims they make in their newspaper advertisements. The government forbids that The news paper that prints such advertisements indorses them to a certain extent, even though they may disclaim such in dorsement. People who subscribe for a newspaper and take it into their homes, hold it responsible for all its contents, and, if they are buncoed through its agency, they have a per fect right to feel resentful. The Sunday paper in question con tains a vast amount of advertising that is an obvious snare, in the minds of world-wise people, but it will catch multitudes whose wisdom teeth are not fairly cut And so what is the use of all the fine preaching on the editorial page? Of what avail would be a ringing ser mon against gambling, if the pastor knew that a poker game was in prog ress in the basement of the church? The Sunday newspaper that preach es morality and clean living, and other fine thmes on its editorial page, should be clean throughout, or it is sure to be held guilty of hypocrisy, which, by universal consent, is one 01 tne unpar donable sins.
