LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
A WAY Out Of II


To the Editor Of the Evening Journal
Sir: Mr.. Byrne in his speech on
Tuesday. leaves the way open, it seems
to me. for the election of DR.. Ball to
Congress. l hope that the Doctor is a
good enough Republican to avail him
self of it. He intimates that he might
withdraw in the Doctors favor If that
gentleman would make himself accept
able to the UH Republicans.
Now this is&ttsier that at first il
would seem; these are only three Union
Republicans of real power who must
be pleased and here is DIR. Balls
chance J. Frank Alice has been very
indignant because his recommendations
were not always seriously considered
when Federal appointments were to be
made. Now let DR.. Ball begin by CIV
ing to Mr.. Alice a writing agreeing to
follow his recommendations in every
particular in the future. He might
also give bonds for the faithful per-
formance of this contract
The second. too. is easy; let him ad-
vocate the election of Mr.. Addicks tC
the Senate by the present Legislature
It might be objected that this would
require that the Doctor should change
his principles and become a Union Re
publican. but other men have done th'
same when they wanted an office
There is Mr.. Byrne-but, then he is no
under discussion.
But now l come to Byrne, and herr
is where he is very much in evidence
His term as District Attorney expire
before the next Congressional term
and his prospects for reappointment
l learn. are not the best. Let DR.. Bal
promise Byrne that If he will WITHDRAW
from the ticket. he will be given an
other four years. It's easy and Dl
Ball should think over it seriously.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

THE TATTLER
Mans Bushes

IF there is any one thing that makes
ne want to get up and talk right out in
meeting it is to hear it said OF man
that he blushed like a woman" said
the social philosopher.
How woman ever gained the reputa-
tion of having run up corner in
bushes is beyond my comprehension.
Report does her a grave injustice, lot as
a matter of fact she not only has no
monopolyin bushes, but does notmake
use of the share that properly belongs
to her. There are some women, OF
course. who blush If you even blink an
eyelid in their direction, but as a gem
eral thing men blush much more readily
and more violently than women.
This is not random statement that
am making for the purpose Of hearing
myself talk, but a sober deduction
founded on careful observation. For
years / have made it a point to study
the sexes in moments of embarrass-
ment. and the statistics / have jotted
down prove that in nine cases out of
ten the average man will fly the red
signal of distress much more quickly
than the average woman. This holds
good in all sorts of situations.
Crack joke at a mans expense. he
blushes; ply him with awkward ques-
tions, he bushes; subject him to some
humiliation or let some ludicrous acci-
dent befall him in public, and ne
straightway rivals the boiled lobster
in hue. A woman may redden slightly
under the same circumstances, but her
blush is diluted and perfunctory COM
narpd with the brilliant Sun1it Glow
that suffuses the countenanee OF man.
Il don't attempt to explain the phe-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and moraiists
may do that il they. can--but merely
give the facts for what they are worth,
in the hope that the next time story
writer has a crop of bushes TO dis
pose Of he will ring a few changes
the old phrase that has done duty for
generations and say Of he heroine that
she 'blushed like a man."

rHE nlGHr or WAY

Because q motorman had the right OF
way, he allowed HIS car TO shoot like
a thunder bolt into the oarraige bear
ing the President OF the United States,
with the result that n man was killed
and the other members OF the party
badly shaken up. 1t was a narrow es-
cape for Mr.. Roosevelt. and the whole
country breathed a sigh OF relief when
assured that he had sustained no seri-
ous injury.
The doctrine OF the right OF way"
was never made to excuse carelessness
and Indifference TO the safety OF
others. No one ever has the right of
way when there is a possibility OF I'm
juring others II a motorman sees a
child in the middle OF a track, he has
no gight OF way until that child has
been removed 1t stops short when IN
jury to life or limb is threatened.
From reports OF the accident yester-
day 1t seems that the fault lay entire
ly with the motorman. The driver Of
the Presidents carriage observed that
all the cars stopped until he had pass
ed. The narrowing road along the
track whore he was driving compelled
him to turn and cross to the other side.
Then they saw the car coming sweep
ing down upon them. They signalled
the motorman to stop but he paid no
attention. He had the right Of wayl
Unfortunately. there are always fools
among us, and these may creep into re-
sDonsible positions. AS long as this is
true we shall never know when we are
In danger. Fortunately. however, these
are the exceptions. and when we think Of
the many lives that are daily entrust-
ed 10 the care OF Others, we can only
marvel at the reliability OF 30 many
human beings in the humber walks OF
life Possibly that fnotorman by this
time has discovered some new truths
about the right Of way. Anyway. there

Addicks got so red that felt that his

Magazine Proved Costly

She was q suburban lady who had
been in the city for a days shopping,
and, as is the usual custom of ladies',
suburban or otherwise, she had done
great deal Of shopping. She leaned
back in the swiftly moving train and
confessed to herself that she had
bought a number of useless articles
and spent great deal OF money on un-
necessary things. IT'S the way OF wo-
men," she confessed. She looked in
her purse, and there were exactly four
one dollar bills, three quarters,
nickel. and two pennies left from the
well-filled contents of early morning.
It's a shame she said TO herself;
1--WE done nothing this whole day but
pay for things"
Just then her eyes fell on the seat in
front of her. 1t was empty, but the
last occupant, in his hurry to quit the
train. had left a magazine She leaned
over and took it up. 1t was a five-cent
publication.
"At last" she said, Il did get some
thing for nothing. after all, today" and
with a sensation Of joy she lolled back
in her seat and began TO read the ex-
traordinary tales Of adventure and love
which formed part Of the contents Of
the magazine.
She came to her town and aighted,
with the magazine clutched securely
under her arm. She got home and de-
posted it carefully on the library table;
then she went down to pay for themeat
that the butchers boy had just brought,
and lol the pocketbook was gone.
Its that miserable magazine" she
said, sadly, throwing the offending pub
lication in the fire. 81 was so anxious
to pick it up l never noticed that my
purse slipped out Of my lap; and to

The nature OF Addicks is shown in
the vicious attack which he made on
Horace Greeley Knowles at the conven-
ton the other day. He stated openly
that he had once bought Mr.. Knowles
but it appears that the only transaction
OF a financial nature that ever occurred
between them was in 1888, before Mr..
Knowles knew who Addiclks was. Mr.
Knowles performed a service for which
he was paid, and that was all. When
taxed with his SANDER he threatened
to ruin Mr.. Knowles. and declared that
he proposed to tear him out In his pa
per. He has evidently thought better
of IL, although it may appear today

And never rise till late,

His farewell till break of day;
Before nine he'll haste away

When coal is ten per ton.

With our health TO slowly freeze,
We can bring them to their knees

We can coat our hides with pitch,
Then can go without a stitch;
Things will move without hitch

We will say to Mr.. Baer,
Put the price up-we don't care
We are dead stuck on fresh air.

That a dime will buy a heap,

The Republican State of Delaware is

his State Convention Tuesday, and,
while he consented to an endorsement
OF the present incumbents OF the Of

both of whom have been renominated
by the Regular Republicans, insisted
upon putting in the field his own pri-

Regulars as their candidate.
The man selected by Addicks to make

years, and stultifying themselves be-
fore the whole country. Under these
circumstances. the Gasman finds Dis
trict Attorney Byrne an istrument we'll
suited to his purpose, and accordingly
places him in the field as his candidate
for Congress under conditions which
will ensure the election of a Democrat,
unless he is withdrawn before the No
vember election.
The last three-cOrnered contest in the
State was in 1896 when Ii. Handy, the
Democratic candidate. was elected to
Congress because the Republican vote
was divided between Robert G. Hous-
ton. Regular Republican, and Jonathan
S. Willis. so-called Union Republican.
In 1898. when there was only one Re-
publican candidate in the field he was
elected by a plurality OF 2510, and two
years ago DR.. Ball was successful over
his Democratic opponent by 1882 plu-
rality. lie would be reelected this year
by an even safer margin, if the Gasman
were not determined to turn the seat in
the next House over to the Democrats
unless the true and genuine Republi-
cans OF the State will consent to place
him in one of the vacant seats in the
Senate. DIR. Ball could have Addicks'
support by simply helping him to this
final crOwning OF his ambition; but DR..
Ball is a Republican from principle
and has proved inaccessible TO all the
approaches OF the Gasman. He will go
down to defeat in a good cause rather
than help Addicks to victory in COM
