Will not be much vastness in the
throng. "-Staunton Spectator.
The American people were practi-
cally unit in favor of the war with
Spain. They do not regret the war
now. The evils OF which they COM
plain and against which they protest
have sprung. not from the war, but
from the grossest bungling of ques-
tions arising out of the war-and from
deliberate wrong doing. The respon-
sibilities of the nation have not been
met in the spirit with which the war
was begun. That is all. It is quite
sufficient to cut down the "vastness"
OF Teddy's vote
The progress of the United States

Residents of certain sections OF Bal
timore who have seen fit to complain
from time TO time of the assaults upon
their morning slumbers by the strident
growing of the thoughtless ROSTERS in
the neighborhood would find IL host OF
sympathiZers in the city of Newark,
N. j., where the early rooster nuisance
has become so marked and unbearable
that the board of health has been ap-
pealed to by the patient and long suf-
fering public. and this body in turn
has suggested as remedy that a Ii
cense fee of one dollar he charged
hereafter for each rooster. 1t is
thought that this will not only dimn-
ish the desire of the people to. own
ROSTERS. but will provide n means to
exact in addition a given fine for every

NOTES AND OPINIONS.
THE OPPRESSIVE ROOSEVELT.
(PhiladeIphia Record.)

It is noteworthy that the campaign
enthusiasm OF the Republican news
papers centers not in the candidate
Tor the Presidency or in the platform
on which he stands. but in the candi-
date for the second place This Is
contrary to all precedent. Since the
surrender of the President to the party
managers In the case of the Porto
Rican legislation no one has suggested
that Mckinley has the heroic Qualities.
No attempt has been made to continue
in the press the hurrah racket so ably
directed by Chairman Hanna in the
convention. The Republican declara-
ton or principles, so far from elating
anybody. is the subject OF gibes, even
General Grosvenor leading in the at
tack on it's matter and style. But in
Roosevelt the party has the ready
made hero who is not new to the bus
mess of posing, and who has no eN-
treme delicacy in reminding people of
his achievements.

A CARPET-BAGGERS IDEA OF
PATRIOTISM.

The esteemed Chattanooga Times is
displeased again. This is not very re-
markablc. The Chattanooga Times is
suffering with dyspepsia, mental and
physical; it is also possessed of a vocab-
ulary and code of ethics that have seen
better days-and more congenial sur
roundings. This is said with no inten-
ton to provike controvcrsy-we always
grab our nose and get out of range
when the Times begins to "argue,-but
that some extracts we shall presently
quote may be seen in the proper per-
spective. We apologize for printing
them at all. and do SO only because
1t is significant phase of contem-
porary sentiment that newspaper
habitually speaking in such terms
should continue to find a public; it is
splendid proof of mans powers oc
endurance, If somewhat inimical to his
reputation for taste and discrmina-
ton. Behold herewith the Times
lofty contribution to the discussion of
the Presidents authority for sending
troops TO China:
I'VE hold that such Fictitious oppo-
sition to the government. whatever the
motive of it may be, is the worst form
OF treason. If there were the slightest
danger that the effectiveness of the
government in this Eastern affair might
be impaired. by these attacks. the
Presidents duty would be to suppress
the section of the press that had be-
come the fOmenter of diSloyalty, send
the editors TO Jail and provide them
with companions from among the loud
mouthed political ShriekerS, who had
themselves n
their country's integrity. If thereby
they might win some notoriety and
offices. 1t is only because the pesti-
lent traitors are without any consid-
cradle influence. for either mischief or
for help in an emergency, that they are
now negligible quantities"
Having delivered itself of this splen-
did lesson in patriotism and gibberish.
the Times proceeds to advocate
"trampling constitutional limitations
into the dirt" and tv characterize all
who are not disposed to jauntily join
in that pastime as Sensation mon
gers" nasty politicians" "notorIety
seekers" &c. &c. AS The Virginian-
Pilot happens to be the first news
dents authority to send troops to
China. it may legitimately congratu-
late itself on having incurred the dis.
pleasure of the Times, whose praise is
to be stunned like the bubonic plague.
AT the same time it would gently re-
mind the Times that senile drivel may
go beyond the allowances always
cheerfully made for 1t. 1t is rather
risky for the man who learned patriot
ism and the arts of controversy while
cavortinG at the head of a negro regi-
ment to be too free in the application
of traitor" and other nice epithets of
that sort. The carpet-bagg brand
of patriotism has had its hey-day, and
its recent manifestations have not in
clined people to bark back to the
earlier and most persistent, exem-
plars of it. for guidance and instruc-
ton as to the duties of the American
citizen. or for light on the Constitu-
ton of the United States.

When Wilhelmina took the oath that
August day. now nearly two years ago
she promised many things, among
them being to make Holland great in
all things in which a small nation can
| be great.
Scarcely two years have passed, yet
| Wilhelmina has fulfilled her VOW in
many ways. She first attracted the
attention of the world to Holland by
advocating a universal peace confer
| ence. The delegates from all countries
of the earth met at The Hague and
were entertained by the loyal Dutch
men. Wilhelmina met with them and
gave them the benefit of her counsel;
she gave dinners for them, lighted up
| the musty old ball room in the palace
at Amsterdam and finally sent them
away in love with peace-and with
her.
Hardly had their footsteps left the
shores than Wilhelmina authorized the
purchase of new ships to add to her
navy. She desired to protect her COM
merce, she said, and to make those
famous little islands of hers-Java,
Borneo and Sumatra-worth all the
money which they formerly brought in
to Hollands Golfers. She also inspect
ed the standing army, and manifested
such interest in the warlike prepara-
tons that recruits were not wanting.
The girl queen turned her attention
toward the industries of Holland. The
Dutch delft was old as the hills, but
the laces had long been neglected and
the ginghams were no longer famous
as Holland weaves. The old Holland
linens were revived, and during the
past year Dutch stuffs have flooded the
markets of the world, while great was
the name of Wilhelmina in Holland.
A sensational rumor floated across
the water early this year that Hol-
lands QUEEN desired to make war upon
England because of her sympathy with
her natural kin, the Beers. But Will
helmina firmly and quietly denied this,
and at the risk of alternating the Trans.
Vaal refused to lend her army, navy,
her Golfers or her name to the war
ring nations.
But all the while Wilhelmina has
been engaged upon these great tasks
she has also busted herself in other
channels, the true ones. many think,
for a womans efforts. She has been
endeavoring with her whole mind, and
let us hope with her heart also, to find
suitable life partner; one who will
sit upon Hollands throne as prince
consort, and assist Wilhelmina in the
gathering and raising of a family to
govern future Hollanders, when the
pretty little queen shall have grown
fat and old and been gathered to her
fathers.
Wilhelmina, being pretty, rich and
powerful has many suitors. At one
time no less than sixteen princes were
clamoring for her hand. OF these the
most prominent was the crown prince
of Germany. But unfortunately the
boy is only eighteen, while Wilhelmina
is nearly. twenty, and the old preju-
dice against a match in which the
woman was the elder came to the fore.
The next in order would be Eitel
Fritz, the second German prince, but

IS IT ENOUGH

Is it enough to give the best of life?
To fill with hope the ,fardel of a friend?
1t is enough in torture to bear strife,
Another's weak and needless aims to
mend?
Will it suffice, when all this life is past,
To know we came when others dared
command,
Following drear Duty to the barren last,
Nor boarded gifts with any grudging
hand?
To see the sneer and answer not, nor
Sroan?
To feel the tight chain wearing deep,
and smile?
To laugh when sobs are near? To be
When the heart fails? To know the
little while
God gives US for our work? To pray and
To rise again and beg for love that
dies?
To see, thro burning tears, the weary
trail
On dry, dead fields beneath hot-shining
skies?
However salt the cup our lips must taste,
1t is the glory of a warriors fate
To battle for the need that others waste
And sink unconquered all when day
grows late
This must suffice; to struggle, hope
and die;
To carry crosses over thorny ways;
To know Gethsemanis; give love for
Christ's followers thus thro' Hfe's ap-
pointed days.

! degree of accurateness it will be neces-
sary for them to spend more than one
! day in the discussion of the subject. In
fact, the conducting of an investiga-
ton by the Society of Physical Re

compared to the solution of the prob

would be a subject of more than gen

OF course there can be no question
but that the women who are engaged
in this investigation will be able to
prove that the road travelled by the
average woman is not d smooth one.
OF course, there can be no question but
that the average woman walks miles
enough in a single day to make an ath-
lete in training turn green with envy,
and the only question is, How are they
going to prove it?
A HARD DAY.
1t is we'll known fact that it takes
about twenty-siX hundred steps to
make a mile, and it is upon these COM
putations that all figures must be
based.
For instance, woman who has no
servant to aid her rises from bed in
the morning to be confronted by score
of problems that must be solved during
the day. In the first place there is
breakfast to be prepared, and to do
this the fire must be lighted, the table
set and countless other small matters
attended to. To enumerate them would
be to make this article uninterestine.
reading for a man and unnecessary for
a woman. The only fact that is of i'm
portance is that during the work of
preparing breakfast she has taken. a
thousand or two steps and in the time
when male members of the household
have been soundly snoring in bed.
When breakfast is ended there are
dishes to be washed and the house to
be put to rights for the day. Much
of the work that is done during this
portion of the day might seem "fussy'
to the average man, but the woman
knows only too well that if it was
not done the average man" would be
the first person to notice the untidiness
of the house.
In the afternoon it is the same story
over again. Lunch must be prepared,
and by the time the luncheon dishes are
out of the way it is time to think of
dinner. 1t is long after dark, there

toll and if the members of this asso-

many miles she has walked between
sunrise and bed time they will have
accomplished a labor that no mere man
would ever have dored to undertake
SCIENTIFIC CALCULATIONS
The members of the Household Eco
nomical Association have entered upon
this task with all seriousness, however.
They have by no means mistaken this
labor as a mere course of mental gym
