Abbreviated Campaigns,

| The Boston Herald; speaking of the
recent political campaign in that state,
says that the brevity Of the period OF real
political activity has astonished the old
politicians. who were bred to the notion
that a campaign OF less than from three
to five months with wires kept hot and
stumpers and claquers' threats kept sore
all the time, is not worth cent. The
Herald says that the active campaign
ing in Massachusetts lasted two weeks,
and certainly that would seem to be
enough time to give: to the swirl and whirl
Of politics. = - i5%.. $780," - =
This year campaigning time was con-
siderably abbreviataedici in nearly .all the
states. The people were too proitably
busy to spend any more time than was
absolutely necessary rwhoeping UP candi-
dates. In this country the professional
politicians are responsible for presiden-
tial, congressional and state; campaigns
which are started at nominating conven-
lions held In June and CONTINUED until the
first Tuesday in November. Nearly Ave
months is an absurd amount of time to
give to campaign effervescehce, the forg-
ing of partizan appeals and exchange of
dreadful party arrangements, which
theoretically damn the leaders as we'll
qualified candidates for the striped cloth
ing and lock-step exercise Of the peni-
tentiaries. - '".'- >~ - -. ,..'
In presidential election years there is
no valid reason why Americans should
take a much longer time than the French
electors do to brace themselves up for the
quickly ended act OF electing their presi
dent and national legislature. Neither in
France nor England does the actual,
strenuous campaigning last over two or
three weeks. 1t is perfectly possible in
this country to hold the nomina ting con-
ventions thirty-five days before the day
of election and then everybody who
yearns to stump or shout and work him
self into partizan fury and blow sonoreus
bazoos and hire a hall; can give himself
up to the amusement with the utmost
fervor.
Your professional politician might not
like this kind of abbreviated campaign,
but it would be far more sensible than
the present method of trying to keep this
business nation in long drawn out polit
ical effervescence, extending five or six
months. 49,. -..-, I'D.

It is reported from Washington that
Eugene G. Hay. is likely to be appointed
special attorney for the department of
justice for some one of the various large
commissions. Mr.. Hay has given great
deal Of attention to the study of public
questions from the legal standpoint, and
would be a splendid selection for such
a position as has been suggested. The
suggestion of his name in connection with
SUCH an appointment was made, however,
without his knowledge. He learned first
from the newspapers that he was, being
considered in, that way at Washington T.

WALL PAPER MADE OF SHOES.

In France old shoes are bought up in
quantities by rag dealers and sold to fac
tories. where they are taken apart and
resubmttted to long processes, which turn
them into paste. from which the material
is transformed into an imitation leather,
appearing much like the finest morocco.
Upon this materiel stylish designs are
stamped, and wall papers, trunk coverings
and similar articles are manufactured

Some may not think so, but there is
evidence of Mayor-elect Haynes respect
for the merit rule in the appointment of
Ed Conroy to be chief of-police. The
duties of sheriff and of a chief-of-
police have some similarity. Qualifica-
ton to fill one office is likely to be quail
fication for the other. What more nat
.ural than that Mr.. Haynes should con-
slider that since Mr.. Conroy had ram
for sheriff he would make a good chief?

and having 10000 members. It's motto is
Lifting As We Climb" All colored wom-
ems Clubs are eligible for membership
She said that while the main work of
the association had been done in the di-
rection OF mothers clubs and the estab-
fishing Of kindergartens, other lines of
work had also received attention Among
these are the formation of musical clubs,
recognizing the fact that the negro's love
of music is one of his strongest traits
and striving to educate the race to the
appreciation and development of the best
music.
Domestic science clubs and philanthropy
&c societies whose object is to make the
race self-sus aiming she said are also

introduced a course of industrial training

Ethics of Race Relationship.

Miss Anna Shaw made the closing ad-
dress. which was on The Ethics Of Race
Relationship" She said in part:
There are three or four questions
which will, believe grow more and more
upon our thought in the next few years
The first is that of woman's right to the
ballot, and it will never be settled until
it is settled right
The second is the labor problem.
think the position of wage-earning wo-
men will be more difficult during the next
twenty-five years than in the las; twenty
five.
The third is the race question. This is
not question which affects only the
southern States, it is national. II is not
d question of South and North; black and
white: it is a human question"
Miss Shaw then told of some of the
things which she had observed in her re-
cent trip to the West Indies She de-
clared that the American had made him
self more disliked by the Cuban than the
Spaniard had been, and made an earnest
plea for the settlement of all race dues-
tinns on the highest grounds. as they
could be settled IN no other way.

Results in Remote Localities

1T is really wonderful what has been
accomplished in this way in remote To-
calitie3. Each branch society has a legal
status under the laws of the State. and a
board of trustees to manage its affairs,
with the cooperation and approval of its
members. Hundreds of these branches
own halls of their own in which to meet.
and for purposes of work and storing of
various articles owned by the society
Some have built amusement halls for To-
cal entertainments. concerts, and so on.
Many have granaries well filled with wheat
against a day of scarcity or famine. and
altogether the society is in hourishing
condition as to its general status and well
fare"
