REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.


1t is a poor fool that works all days.
There is no fool like an old fool in love with
young fool
In the worlds chase youth pursues any game;
age selects its quarry.
What men like in open-work stoclSings-well,
Il Is what goes in them.
A bachelor learns lot by pretending he has
never learned anything.
After 80 most men seem Co think woman is
nothing more than a nurse.
Some men have almost as much manhood as
the women in their family.
The eavesdropper never heard any good OF
himself OF of anybody else.
Platonic love is a pleasant theory that de-
velops into an unpleasant condition.
II takes a woman to wish she could hear
the disagreeable things other women are saying
about her.
Somehow a woman with short hair always
makes a man wonder how bad he would look
In .etticoats.
Just when a man gets accustomed TO sleeping
with woman she wants him to get accustom-
ed 20 sleeping alone
When woman hears about a man being
ruined in business she acts like IL was some
thing that ought not TO be talked about before
the children.

nent between Cummins and Dolliver.
The western situation is In effect this;
Prior to the death of President McKin-
ley, Secretary Shaw was an aspirant FOR
presidential honoFs. He has, 1t is SAID,
not yet lost those aspirations, but is COM
PEELED to hold ,lem in allegiance because
of his present office. Appointed by Pres
ident Roosevelt to his position, he has be-
come an enthusiast in support OF the
New York man and cast his hopes to the
winds until succeeding four years small
have passed.
Shaws removal, for these reasons, from
the presidential possibilities has brought
Dolliver forward Against his pretensions
stood Governor Cummins, Of Iowa, who
compelled Shaw to yield to him In the
contest for the nomination for the Iowa
governorshfp. DolliveT must have the del
egation from his own state in order 10
give weight to his candidacy before the
convention Cummins is an ardent advo-
cate of reciprocity and stood his ground
so well with the people of the state back
of him, that perforce a Compromise
must be effected TO carry into execution
Delivers wishes.
The Cedar Rapids platform, for which
Cummins contended, was reafhrmed in all
its details, including the administration
opposed provision which intimates that
monopolies may grow from the effects of
the existing tariff laws. The "compro-
mise" is not apparent in the adoption OF
this platform. and a suggestion has been
thrown out that IL exists in the Endorse
ment" of the plan for renominating Pres
ident Roosevelt. But the suggestion is
again thrown out that the platform is
mere expression of current opinion, which
may change at any time, and does not
anywhere In express terms advise, sug-
gest request or demand the renomina-
ton of Roosevelt; that It only considers
his denomination as a matter OF course.
and there is no intimation that the people
of the state, whose sentiments are con-
sidered as represented in the platform,
will be antagonized IL the Endorsement OF
Roosevelt be not made.
CUAIAIINS COULD WAIT.
The 'compromise" must, therefore, be

SQUARE AND ROUND BALE FIGHT.

There is now going on in certain south
ern states, particularly in Georgia and
Alabama. a most interesting fight be-
tween the old square-bale ginners and the
new round-bale people. Or. to be more ex-
act, the contest is between the compress
companies and the big corporation con-
trolling the round-bale press.
Inasmuch as the latter process of bal
ing cotton is supposed to do away with
COMPRISING, the compress properties of
the south would, naturally. be rendered
valueless should the round-bale presses
come into general use. Hence, II is a fight
to the finish, and some very powerful fac
tors and strong points OF advantage are
arrayed on both sides.
A meeting of the square-bale ginners Of
Georgia and Alabama held in Macon
Thursday renews interest In this contest,
and develops at least a, few Of the plans
by which the square-baIe people propose
to resist the efforts Of the round-bale
people to gain supremacy.
With the merits of this fight The Jour
nal has nothing to do--for there are strong
arguments in favor OF each side Of it-but
the situation is. at least, interesting and
well worth watching. The Central Of
Georgia railroad, which road traverses or
is in touch with most of the cotton
growing sections Of Georgia and Alabama.
was already the owner of>numerous large
congresses in these two states, and it
naturally behooved II to resist to the ut
most the aggressions Of the round-bale
people. This it has sought TO do by Sc
curing, either through lease or purchase,
other compress properties, with the re-
suit that 1t now controls a majority, If
not practically all, Of those located in it's
territory. But it has not stopped there.
Larger and better square-bale ginneries
have been established wherever deemed
necessary.
The round-bale people, on the other
hand, have put in their gins and presses
wherever possible to do so, and thus the
two are lined up for the fight, both back
ed by practically unlimited capital and
with any amount of brains and energy to
carry on the contest.
The fight really began in earnest last
season, but several years may be necessa-
ry for it to develop it's most interesting
phase. What the outcome will be, it is
really difficult to predict. One side has the
advantage Of improved methods. perhaps,
but is handicapped by an evident purpose
to create a monopoly for itself. not only
in handling. but in marketing the south's
great staple crop. The other side may
be considered somewhat at a disadvantage
in being tied down to old methods, but
many hold that this is offset by the fact
that it attempts no monopoly, but leaves
the farmer free to gin and sell his cotton
as he pleases. A good deal can be said in
favor of both sides. but it is a matter
that, necessarily, the farmer will have to
settle for himself as the exigencies Of his
individual case NAV require.

plans are being laid with a nicely OF de-
TAN which, II is believed by Roosevelt ana
his aides, win result IN victory for him.
An assault will be made upon Ohio In
which disaffection IS said to exist, by some
particularly juicy appointments, to be
announced at the critical stage. and these
will have much TO do with the isthmian
canal construction. Parry viii naturally
look after Indiana. Canal patronage will
also be dispensed in that state.

Roosevelt's feet by Plat, and Judictous

Whether or not Mr. Parry, who is pres

ISOLATION, will consent to accept of the
burdens incumbent upon a man running
for the vice presidenN is a question
which, SO far as the present information
extends, has remained unanswered. But
that President Roosevelt has asked Mr..
Parry if he would accept of the nomina-
ton for the vice presidency, with Roose-
welt at the head of the ticket, is afilrma-
lively declared by The Worlds informant.
If Mr.. Parry has replied to the presi-
dents suggestion, the answer was proba-
bly, made not many days ago when Sec
rotary Of the Treasury Shaw called upon
the president at Oyster Bay.
While this ticket was being made up in
the east cautious plans running counter
to those of Roosevelt were being dis
cussed in the central west According to
