DEAR PENELOPE:

DEAR PINELoPE:
You know that storm and stress
strengthens character. The civil war
made iibro in men ard women
and philosophers say that the
character OF generation that is born
and grows up ia luxury is apt TO be
feeble. For that reason a beneficent
providence has taken care to provide
lies miserables' with plenty OF sdver-
sity. The last four years OF anxiety and
poverty will make women Of giddy girls
and men Of the gilded youth who never
did anything harder than carry cane.
You know what . lot Of girls are
working for wage that have always BET n
ladies Of leisure! Their business sense
has grown with such astonishing rapid
ity that their fathers and brothers are
borrowing money from them and sskiug
advice. which latter they generally do
bseon they accomplish the former.

EnE COMMITTEE DEFENDED.
"Republ'cin" supports tbs Two Cou-
ycniion Propositions and Tells Why.

To tho Editor
For the reason that your paper while
Il 10 not the organ OF any political
party yet reaches probably more voters
than any other, trespass upon your
space with some words OF cammenda-
ton for the action OF the Republican
state committee In calling two con-
ventions, one at Mount Pleasant, TO
nominate presidential electors, another
at Ogden 10 nominate candidate for
Congress.
The committee w. confronted with
u difficult situation. Iu such emsr.
gsnoes moderation Ia much bstter
than Tadiualism, II had u certain DUTY
to perform, aud thai was TO call q con.
vention which must do two things,
nominate electors aud n congressman.
II @awAs compelled TO recognizes
that there are two Glasses OF
Republican,, whose wishes must
be In some measure consulted.
Tho fret class Il prepared 10 support
Mckinley anu Hobart aud TO that end
insist upon having Mckinley electors
for whom 20 vote. But ri tbs same
time this class recognizes that other
class OF Republicans who refuse TO vote
for Mckinley on account OF the 81.
Louis platform.
The Bryan Republicans. however,
| clam, II their organ correctly repre-.
sents Them, that they still remain Rr-
publicans on every other question, aud
desire TO vote for a Republican OF their
own choosing for Congress. They do
not ami OF course cannot deny that
Mckinley Is tue Republican nominee
and those Republicans who desire 10
40 80, ought TO nave an opportunity 0f
voting for him, by voting for
| Mckinley oluctols. This being
the situation there wtre but
three courses open to the COM
mitIee. One was TO call n convention
simply 10 nominate % Congressman.
| DO not consider the alternative OF

mitlee would PREJUDICE the case, anu
