The writer of a short story in the
Century Magazine has invented two
phrases that may find a permanent
place in political slang. Party plat
forms do not always express the real
sentiments or the intentions of those
who subscribe to them. 1t is easier
to promise than to perform the prom.
Use. This writer speaks Of a weasel
word" as one that sucks the meaning
out Of another which is beside it, jus,
as weasel sucks an egg, leaving only
the shell. "Weaseling," he says, is
highly expedient because one class OF
voters will like the weasel, and the
other the word that has been weaseled
the egg. The other phrase is 1.-THE
stained glass plank" Glancing through
the window at one point dog looks
yellow, while at another he is green
and not until the window is thrown
open can you actually see what the
dog is like. OF course windows are
not made Of "planks" which one can
look throughput let that pass.

When prosperity and philanthropy
go hand in hand, the progress of a
country is beyond question. Germany
is advancing in business way. Her
trade operations show increasing ca
pacity for planning and fuller scope
in performance. But with the devel-
opment in material things is noted an
increase in gifts for the benefit OF
schools, libraries, charitable institu-
ttons and other objects. The provision
of corporations and private manufac-
turers in aid Of employees is further
token of keener sense of RESPONSE
bility for the proper use of wealth

Charleston Maitland Tribune: The
Gazette this morning, referring TO the
false allegations Of Hon. A. B. Whites
attitude toward Organized labor, an-
nounces that the charge was made q
year ago by the West VirginiE Herald.
This may be true, but no one ever took
the Aforesaid Herald seriously, Its well
known ability to faisify, and its epht-
mereal, bizarre and untruBtWo
character leaving It without any stand
ing In the community. No one save an
innocent abroad at home could ever
have taken the Herald seriously; Its
only function In life seemed to be to
burn money, which It did beyond even
the fondest dreams Of the Missionaries
at the head Of II, while its well known
penchant for lying would keep thou
sand honest men busy denying alleBa-
lions without any foundation in fact.
No one could ever hope to keep track
Of the malicious Misrepresentation OF
an Ishmaelltlc sheet that met with that
swift and emphatic careers end It's
course and conduct marked out for IT.
self, and 1t Is a matter Of surprise that
the Gazette would lend Itself to regaling
OF things from such source.
However that may be, the allegation
that Mr. White was a party to any an
tagonism to organized labor Is unquali-
fiedly false; and. unless the Gazette can
produce some better witness to the fact
/, than the defunct and unlamened
West Virginia Herald, 1t puts Itself In
the attitude of retailing a Islander, after
its posItivc refutation by those in a po-
sltlon to know, without warrant or ex-
cuse.
