FOR $500 A YEAR

Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt seems 10
possess some Of the qualities Of good
sense which characterize her husband.
She declares that 5000 is a sum suifi-
cient TO dress amy woman in official
life, and is determined to be a living
exponent Of her theory. This opinion.
and Mrs Roosevelt's example, will be
welcomed I'm official circles as a hopeful
sign that the extravagaLt display and
ostentation that have been affecting
Washington official life. shall, in a
measure, cease.
In recent years the expenditure re-
quired by persons connected with the
Government, has been so great that
men of limited means have either been
compelled to decline positions Of honor,
or to retire from Office when they have
acquired a knowledge of their duties,
and have become really useful 1t is
frequently embarrassing to senators
and congressman to find themselves in
an atmosphere Of lavish display when
their own meagre salary lis hardly suifi-
clont to rent a house in a fashionable
quarter.
They feel, too, that what hampers them
socially, detracts from their usefulnes
as representatives of their constituents
and as mOlders of public policy Elab-
orate dressing, splendid dinners, osten
tatious homes, servants. jewels, fun
merry have swamped many a man
whose primary desire has not been
show but to do that which would
keep him in touch with all THAT would
assist him, i'm welding the power per-
tanning to his position.
Many a poor man hesitates to become
a candidate fer Congress, feeling that
if he is not swamped before his cleo
ticn. he Will be afterwards, but If he is
not daunted and is elected, he leaves
his wife at hOme, and lives in some
cheap boarding house. A return to
simplicity in official life would be WEI
coined by an, and would be a vast re-
lief to the statesman who is burdened
with the weight of State cares, the de
mands OF his constituents, and the ne
cessity of going into mis- pocket when
There is nothing there. If Mrs. Roose-
welt succeeds i'm establishing a cult that

vate capacity and not as a clergyman
Certainly he was not conducting him
self as a clergyman should, and not
even as a self-respecting citizen. Such
an explanation suggests an elastic con-
science which slightly stretched would
enable a preacher to keep a speak-easy
in his private capacity. A clergyman is
supposed to be a good man, in his pro-
fessiona3 capacity and in his private
life, and there is no excuse for him to
lay aside his character when he puts
off his churchly vestments.

Wealth and Ostenlation
1rom the Boston Globe.


President Faunce, of Brown Univer-
sity, was very enthusiastic over the
wedding of ROclfeller's son, who, as a
model young man and Sunday-sohOol
teacher, lived up to his profession by
avoiding ali ostentation, discarded
wine at the wedding feast and preserv-
ed becoming gravity throughout the
whole occasion.
IL must be confessed that the country
owes the ROckefellers a great debt in
behalf of the public morals since they
discOuntenance all vulgar show at mar
riage ceremonies. And the young man
in this case married a bride fully as
unpretentiOus and sensible as him
self.
In connection with this occasion they
have been hooking up young Rockefel
ler's college record and find that hs
was scrupulOusly exact in his accounts
never believed in nor practiced tn,
American habit" of treating, and a.
athletic manager insisted that ever,
man should pay his own way. For FIRE,
lundh and other forms of deadheadisn
he had unmitigated contempt
These characteristics when thorough
ly analyzed are not so bad after all
Especially the repugnance to the treat
ing habit that terror to the pocket
and morals Of so many young men.
BW chiefly in avoiding ostentatioi
are the Rockefellers deserving of praise
Most assuredly, the family is to b
praised for avoiding entangling matri
lmonial alliances with foreign aristo
lcrats and for giving some evidence tina
they preserve at least outward sincerlt
in their religion.

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
lhOrOugh Way to clean CIOthes

While in conversation with a well
known young man on the West Side
recently, the Wayfarer spoke of the
clean appearance of a suit of clothes
the young man was wearing.
You have had your suit cleaned and
pressed, have you not?" asked the
Wayfarer.
NO, indeed, l never have my
clothing cleaned" replied the young
man. but l clean them myself, and
my process is one Of the easiest and
most satisfactory ways Of keeping
clothes clean that ever | have heard Of
or tried"
What do you do to them?" asked
the Wayfarer, whose clothes showed
the result of having a big corpora
ton"
We'll, get a small washtub and pour
into it about five gallons Of gasoline
and into another tub pour about three
gallons of the fluid. take about three
suits of clothes and wash them through
the gasoline and rinse them in the tub
containing the three gallons of the
fluid. ! next hang them in the sun to
dry, which they do in about half an
HOuI HcAt nave my Wlle press
them for me and then lay them in a
drawer, where they remain folded until
desire TO wear them. You must use
the gasoline in the open air and do
not allow anyone to strike a match
around where you are working. My
wife cleans her silk dresses in a like
manner"
The Wayfarer went to his home and
tried the plan and found that it work
ed splendidly.

TUESDAY. OCTOBER %, 1901
sHALL Ir BE FOREVER?

The Union Republicans OF Delaware
must begin to realize that the attempt
of Addicks to control the parties Of
this State is a failure-a hopeless fail
ure. and that 1t never can be anything
else. Accidental recognition by ma
tlonal convention is no warrant for
supposing that such a leader and such
methods could permanently triumph.
IL must be borne In mind that the man
elected President OF the United states
Ia almost certain to be man OF Gle
waited character. and as such cannot
countenance the methods ever employ
cd in Addicks' candidacy. Further
more. 1t goes without saying that any
chief executive will be surrounded
by cabinet officers who are picked men
who have been appointed because OF
clean record and peculiar ability
These can have nothing in common
with Addickism.
But suppose some friend Of Addicks
such as Quay or Hanna should be in
vested with the Presidential mantle
he could not afford to ignore the warn
ings which would come from a thou
sand presses. to beware OF recognizing
Addicks. The fact cannot be ignored
that this is too large a matter for us
10 settle by any distribution OF the
patronage, it rather concerns the rec
ognil!on. or non-recognition OF that
which according to all principles Of
ethics, is wrong The name OF Addicks
In politics is sufficient to damn any or
ganizatlon OF which he is directing
force The war may be waged till
years shall pass, but the conditions
Will remain The same
There are hosts OF men, good Repub-
licans and good citizens at heart, who
are opposed to Addicks personally, and
who have no selfish interest in espous-
ing his cause. They have chosen TO
believe that the trying situation might
be solved by sending Mr.. Addicks TO
the Senate. This reminds us OF a
member of a co'legs faculty who de-
clared in the presence OF the writer
that he recommended a student for
graduation. not because he was worthy
OF it. but to get rid of him. Such rea-
soning we think is indefensible, but
the question remains: What is to be
done in the future? 1t is apparent
that Mr.. Addicks has no more chance
OF going TO the Senate than he has OF
becoming King Of England. If he were
a Republican at heart he would retire
and net continue to jeopardize th,
party success. But the people have the
case in their own hands However
loyal they have been to him in the past

mands OF the panty should no long@

sertions Of the opposition forces. thi

Should the sale of the new cigar,
"The Three Brothers," prove to be q

James jackson. of Cambridge, Mass,
has been dismissed from the Reformed
Presbyterian Church. because in being
naturailzed he swore TO support the
Constitution. If This is the act OF a
reformed" church, It would seem
that another reformation is needed
The objection to the oath to support
the Constitution, it is explained, is on
the ground that that instrument is i'm,
moral in that it does not mention the
name of God, and asserts that govern
ment is derived from the people. Ac-
cording TO this reasoning men would
never enter into a contract or obliga.
tion lin which there is no specific ref.
.erence TO Deity. Such intolerance il
not only un-American, but smacks very

ages. We should be thankful that mos

conducted with some commonsense.
