A Candjdat. Sjdctrscked.

We have never really believed all the
stories which have been told in the
newspapers of the bitter fights and
Questionable campaigning tactics that
the national organization of women's
clubs and of Daughters of Various
Things. We nave preferred to believe
that just as the presence of women
would purify politics. so have the cleo
tons and deliberations in bodies con-
trolled by them been on high plane,
business-like and free from turmoil.
Surely. such has ever been the case in
this section of the land, and our ladies
who are club members and "Daugh-
ters' have shown themselves ladies
first and club members and "Daugh-
tiers" afterward. That. of course. is the
right spirit and the proper attitude, but
our faith that it is so all over the land
has had many hard knocks.
If we are 10 believe the stories told
by the papers in cities where the ma
tional Sessions are held, the women in
their rivalries not infrequently resort
to tricks that would make a legitimate
politician blush with shame and make
a hardened ward hecIer green with
Star youches for an incident relative to
the recent national convention of the
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton which reveals some of the
devices to which women, in their own
sphere of politics, will resort to attain
their ends. There were two candi-
dates for the Office of regent of the
Illinois Chapter of the national Or
ganiZation-Mrs. Wiles and Mrs. Deere.
The election was to be held in connec-
ton with the general convention in
Washington. A large delegation took
the train for the federal capital. 1t was
pretty evenly divided in it's liking for
the two candidates. Mrs. Julia Mills
ton. She called caucus of her fol-
lowers, to be held on the train the fol-
lowing morning. intending to outline
the action to be taken in the final con-
test. That night she was appealed to
by someone to exchange her berth for
that of a young woman in another
sleeper. the most plausible reasons be-
ing given for the request. Mrs. Dunn
consented But when she awoke in the
morning she found herself sidetracked
at Harrisburg. Pa, while her followers
had gone on to Washington. The
sleeper to which she had been persuad-
ed to transfer was never Intended to go
to Washington. The caucus could not
be held. Anything in that line of I'M
scrupulousness and trickery would be
called very hard names if men did it in
politics. No doubt men do such things
in politics, ard worse things than that,
but we look to woman for a better ex-
mple.

good price. Never. perhars. since the
earliest days of the fishery has the
quantity of sperm oil been so small as
at the commencement of the present
year. On Jan. l, 1901. there were 1880
parTels sperm, and of bone" 10000
POUNDS. FOR the 81 years ending with
i'oi 'he average quantity of sperm oil
on hahd' Jan. l, was 12.161 barrels. and
OF paieen' 2Zo,3S7 pounds. At the COM
mencement of 1902 there was not bar
rel OF whale oil on hand. At the be-
ginning or 1901 the stock on hand was
1000 barrels. while the average stock
on hand for the 31-year period men
toned was 1850 barrels 1t is apparent
that an oil famine threatens.

Booker T. Washington, the Moses OF
the American negro race. uttered these
words of wisdom at recent confer
ence at Tuskegee: There is nothing in
politics or in any other avenue of life
that can begin to compare in impor-
lance just now to the negro's securing
educating his children into all the i'm
portant occupations that are about his
doors" Nothing revolutionary or
visionary about that idea, is there? And
here is another strong. practical hint
from the same source: The most last
ing and potent protection the negro can
have in any part of the country is for
him to become the most successful man
in his community" Whether the black
man can attain to the full realization
of this or not, it will help him material
ly to strive for it, and with success
comes the respect of his neighbors. Yet
there are white men who object to any
hint of equality with a man like this
educator, simply because his skin is
black. He strikes the keynote of the
solution of the negro problem when he
declares that the road to the colored
mans redemption is through industry,
education and business success. Would
that the race had a dozen men like him

The March Girl.

At other seasons her attire
Is prim and stiff with starch.
But then, somehow, We don't admire
Her as we do in March.
Her January garb is trim.
Her August dress is duck;
But when March winds come whizzinS
round.
In clinging fabrics she is gowned.
With fluffy, gauZy hat she's crowned:
She welcomes then the breeze'S sound
She's jolly at the luck.
November sees her prim again;
In May she is demure;
October sees her dressed in gray,
But-March. She's gay then, sure.
And all the year round in, papa's ears
The blast of style is dinned-
No matter if she stiff as starch.
Or gay with lace in summers parch,
Or greets June brides with glances arch,
Or dares the lusty gales of March
Dear dad must raise the wind.

They started me as hog-reeve an

An so they done their duty when March

An put me in field-driver an the keeper

very best l could.
An next l was elected as a measurer of

An though 1 haint a boaster, still its
only fair to say
l did my honest duty in square an
careful way.
An the voters they took notice, as they
later clearly showed.
By electin' me, unanimous. surveyor of

With matters comm that way, there was
some in town as said
How prob'ly I'd be shown that the

But | tended right to bus ness, jest as
modest as could be,
An the voters then, by thunder, made a
constable of me.

my coat,
But they Civ it to me solid by the reg'lar
An since I've been in office 1 have tend
ed so to biz
That there haint town around here
that's so peaceful S our'n is.
An now it's bein whispered that the
next town-meetin' plan
Is to boost me clear to glory as our FIRST

He can act as mean as PoOduc but he

But when an humble citizen. commencin'

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

Great bores from little takers grow.
When somebody else tries to be what
you would like to be he is a snob.
Women may not have brain power,
but they have wits enough to make
brain power crawl to them on it's
knees.
Most women try to have their hus-
bands appear distinguished looking.
and if they can't do it then they say
their handwriting is characteristic.
1t is an acknowledged crime to steal
a mans writings, his money or his rep
utation, but there is nobody who does
not steal other men S ideas.-New York
