Will Stand Pat On Hia Dismissal
of Brownsville Troop*.
Washington, Jan. 1.—Overshad-
owing perhaps the continuous roll
of bunder that was emitted from
the White House and that reverbe-
rated over the country during the
seven month’s battle last session
over the railroad rate bill, is Pres-
ident Roosevelt's declaration at this
moment that he will stand by his
order discharging the negroes of the
Twenty-fifth infantry who shot up
the city of Brownsville.
There is no question that Presi-
dent Roosevelt’s defiant answer to
his critics that he would stand by
Ids order, even at the risk of im-
peachment by congress has electri-
fied the whole country. And yet,
on sober reflection, there is not a
man who can conceive such a thing
ac congress impeach'ng Theodore
Roosevelt, even though it be proven
that he has overstepped his author-
ity in kicking out of the service a
pack of murderers and those who
are in league with them to the ex-
tent of shielding them from the law.
The president knows that congress
knows that the country would not
stand for it.

eon, and I noticed my eyesight was •
gdrfHng poor.
“After using Postum a while, I ob-
served ths headaches left me and soon
the belching of sour fluid stopped (wa-
ter brash from dyspepsia). I feel de-
cidedly different now, and I am con-
vinced that It is because I stowed
coffee and began to use Postum. lean

• Horse* Still In Demand.
Happily the horse has a faculty for
upsetting the gloomy prediction* that
he 1* fated to be put out of business
by the automobile. The horse business
has kept right on developing in spite
of the fact that the automobile indus-
try has been engaged in similar un-
dertaking. The demand for horses is
still great. The supply of some
classes of them is inadequate. The
price* are high. The automobile may
scare the horse into the ditch, but
it isn’t likely to crowd him to the walL

Rothschilds Never Prosecute.
While the Bank of England makes
it a point never under any circum-
stances to relinquish the prosecution
of those who have defrauded it in the
slightest degree, being willing, if qeed
be, to spend thousands of pounds to
capture and prosecute people who
have robbed ft of even a few shillings,
the Rothschilds make it a rule never
to appeal to the courts or to the police
In such matters. Of course, they are,
like every other banker, occasionally
the victims of dishonesty, but neither
the police nor the public ever hear
about the matter. This ha* always
been a principle of the heads of the
house, who take the ground that It la
better to bear the loss in silence than
to disturb popular confidence in thj
safety of the concern by allowing ft
to be seen that it* treasures are not
adequately safeguarded.
