had a Tight to declare themselves as
they pleased; It waa not only their
right but their duty to declare tbelr
honest opinions, as they evidently
did. ; That they did o. should have
been pleaslpg rather than offensive
to a president. , By thus showing his
displeasure and pique, the president
haa exhibited himself ea a narrower
man than anybody supposed him to
be His action is schoolboylsb. : .
V V Tins NURSES' APPEAL ' -!.
r HERE Is pathos in the appeal
sculduegery and Iniquity hereafter
j-at least there Is ground for hope,
and a fair prospect that such will
be the case. -'Bribery is becoming
less fashionable, and is considered
mora reprehensible,' than It usd to
be, " The thing to do to make It more
so, and to reduce It to the minimum
Is to. punish every convicted briber
and brlbee severely. V The latter Is
the more guilty, of the two, for he
holds a position of trust, responst
blllty and honor, and Is under oath
to be true to the , people, , as , the
briber Is not. . , , .

HOOSIERS IN DISGRACE
PRESIDENT TAFT Is going-to

spring, as far as St. Louis,
and ' will make I speeches at
many places, f Among the cities In
which he had promised to make a
speech Is Indianapolis, the metropo
lis and capital of Indiana,' having
been especially Invited to do so by
former .Vice President ; Fairbanks
But within the last few days it has
been announced that ' tke - president
has cut Indianapolis out of his .itin
erary. He is reported to have de
cided that he will deliver no address
" 1 here, will not even Tlslt ihe . city.
Perhaps It possible he will not pass
within the boundaries of the offend-
ing state, or if he does will make
do speeches at any point therein, but
will hurry . across It - as ; unholy
