Supreme at That.
With touch that is as dainty
As any bird that preens
And sails above the whitecapS
She Skins the magazines.
With eyes that are half blinded
BY girlish thoughts that fit,
She reads the latest novel
Enough to talk of it.
Yet deem her not constructed
Upon a shallow plan.
Her speciality lies higher,
For she can read a man.

The Chicago Chronicle sees in the ac-
ton of the Ohio convention evidence that
the Democratic drunk is over and that
the party is returning to the Chronicles
position. AS the Chronicle bolted the
Democratic ticket in 1896 and as nearly
all the Chronicles stockholders voted
for MIR. Mckinley in 1909, it's praise of
the Ohio platform is really libel. Mr..
Kilbourne ought to be elected, however,
in spite of the Chronicles support-The
Commoner.
The above comments will apply with
equal force to the St. Paul Glob e.
Broad Axe.
Neither of our contemporaries is to be
congratulated on it's breadth of view. as
evidenced in the foregoing extracts.
There is the element of irreconc:iability
manifested in each case.
The truth Of the matter is that each of
t2ese gifted editors has distinguished
himself in the past by his loyal support
of Democratic candidates and has him
self been candidate for office on platforms
which bore no relation whatever and
made no reference whatever to free silver
or any other of the disputed principles
which the G 10 De and Chronicle re-
fused to accept. They then enjoyed the
favor and support of the Globe and
Chronicle and we hope and believe they
will again. The truth, too, is that they
are anxious to see the party succeed in
the elections of the future just as the
Chicago Chronicle and the st. Paul
G o b do. Hence their support and the
support of the Chronicle and Clio of
the Ohio Democratic platform and candi-
dates.
What the Democrats of Ohio have done.
the Democrats of Maryland, Virginia and
Pennsylvania have done and are doing.
And the Democrats of nearly If not every
state Of the Union are quite likely to do
in the interval between now and the
next presidential election.
The Ohio platform must be a good thing
in the estimation of our two contempo-
raries if the Chronicle and Globe libel
1t by giving it their support. 1t is a good
thing-a very good thing. On this the
Commoner and Broad Axe, the Chronicle
anu " { are dsreeu. why not, then,
skip the libelous part of the transaction.
and all agree to agree for once This is
what the Democracy is looking for. This
it is which alone can win success for the
party and its principles. With a little
more liberality of thought our friends of
Nebraska and the West side will agree
with this view. Time heals most wounds
even those Of pride When a little
further time has passed, and the example
of the Ohio brethren is being universally
followed, the G o b VIII have the fel!c-
ity of observing the disposition of it's
two contemporaries to avoid everything
like quarrel about trifes.

NIKE IT ACCESSIBLE.

The fact that the nursery just estab-
lished on Harriet island has already
been without occupants opens a serious
question as to its entire availability for
the uses for which it is designed.
The public value of the institution can
not be gainsaId. 1t will fulfill a most
beneficent use. Properly administered,
and with some additional work done in
connection with it, there is every reason
why its capacity should be tried to the
limit throughout the summer season.
The chief and indeed the only trouble
with the day nursery is that 1t is not
accessible to those whom it was estab-
lished to serve. Except alone to the res
idents of the Sixth ward, and to them
only after an extended walk, can the
nursery be said to be of immediate ad
vantage in the present situation The
walk to the nursery is too long. No
woman who was DESTROYS of placing her
baby in the nursery in the morning could
do so as matters are at present without
an expenditure of at least an hours
time in the morning and the same length
of time to get to the child in the even
ing.
Those to whom the institution will be
of most benefit are the class of mothers
who for one reason or other are Obliged
to place their babies in the control of
others during a greater or less portion
Of each day. There are hundreds of good
women in this city whose circumstances
are such that they must separate from
their children during the day, and who
cannot afford to have the services of
some person on whom entire dependence
can be placed to make up in some sub
stantial measure, in the care of the child
for the mothers absence. Most women
SO situated are poor. They would not
part with the care of their children even
Tor an hour if it were not a case of stern
need. Who would or could expect such
women, who, no doubt, have to go out
and make a living for themselves and
their children during the working hours
OF the day, TO be able to give the time
IN the morning necessary to reach the
nursery and return? What condition
would such a mother be in to undergo
perhaps days hard physical toll at the
wash-tuh or on her knees scrubbing.
after she has travelled over and back be-
tween Wabasha and the nursery? Better
for her by far to pay the little pittance
necessary to be paid to get the attention
for her child which is provided by pri-
vate nurseries.
There is at least one thing that is alb
solutely necessary to be done to realize
the fun possibilities of the children's
place on Harriet island That is to con-
struct a suitable footway bridge from
the Wabasha street bridge. The grade
of such bridge would be about three
feet to the hundred. 1t could be Travelled
without any great hardship by mothers.
With stopping place at that point for
the street cars the morhcrs all over the
city 50 situated would he certain to avail
themselves of the splendid facilities which

down, but no great fear is entertained.
The only reports of damage so far re-
ceived are of destroyed bath houses and
uprooted trees.
The Louisville & Nashville railroad Is
blocked off beyond Chef Menteur, thirty
miles from this city. The big steel bridge
there is safe, but beyond there are sew
eral washouts on the road. The New Or
leans & Northeastern road is also blocked
by Washouts, and its big trestle over Lake
Fontchartraln mas been shaken by the
heavy seas breaking against it.
There has been much damage done at
Shell Beach. a settlement on Lake
Borgne, which is southeast of the city,
and connects with Lake -Pontchartrain.
All the buildings there have been swept
away, and there are reports of loss of
life among the fishermen, but the exact
extent of this is not known. A tidal wave
swept over the land there as it did nine
years ago.
In the city of New Orleans and suburbs
there has been some damage. At Milne
burg, one of the lake resorts, the rail-
road pier head, running out into the lake
for distance of 1000 yards, has been
destroyed, and all light buildings denoi-
