A LACK OF SENSE.

M ANY good things are easily
AVN abused The petty attacks on
President Roosevelt by the unions and
the declaration that he is "unlriendly"
because he asserts that in government
employmer all men are equals, pro-
.ceeds on the assumption that friend
illness means Partially. Thus throw.
ing down the g'uEtet to the president
"a the open-shop principle is the
sillicst move labor has made and COM
bines not only lack of sense but is
impudent and absurd. We have en-
dured the peculiarly loss inflicted en-
the community by the squabbles OF
capital and labor hoping that justice
might be gained in the end. Several
Chicago manufacturers are about to
move, on account OF labor troubles in
that perturbed centre. The resources
OF the country are not being used to
the full. Capital, Iarge and small, is
becomil 6 timid. So be it, That is
matter OF profit and loss, to be ponder
ed by both sides, and settled OH eco
nomic grounds, at whatever COST II
labor knows its welfare, it will remain
on economic grounds. We are a friend
to labor and have always believed in
unions, but this government has no
more right TO maltreat man because
lie is outside OF the unious than it has
because he is IL Methodist.
The labor power is no more immune
to swelled head than capital is. Ask
ing the nation at the polls to vote on
making union, favored class should
be treated with as much respect as
asking that appointment to high Office
should be only milionaires. Ii the
right OF unions to run the United
States government should become an
issue, not only would the presidents
vote next autumn be increased, but
the overwhelming victory would inn
ply check by the nation to union
impudence. Any political party which
sought the labor vote on such a plea
would enter the campaign with iull
assurance Of defeat. This is not a
government Of the people by or for
the unions.

Journalism.

Newspapering is a yacht.
In which many are called, but few
are chosen.
Not the newspaper idea, but super
huous word in the dictionaries. Rare
samples OF the real thing may occa-
sional'y be seen in the great cities.
An excuse for publishing a yellow
newspaper.
Something for the preachers to
criticise!
A subject on which newspaper men
are little posted.
A bluff that sometimes gets free
tleater tickets.
That state from which magazine
writer has graduated without receiv-
ing diploma.
When boy we hoped to be its ex-
ponent. Now we know better.

1t is mad world, my masters. Que
man asks for divorce because his
wife has mania for saving money;
another because his wife spends too
much. One man wants a divorce be-
cause his wife deserts him; another
because his wife follows him when he
leaves the house. And so it goes. Moth.
ing but a general switching round OF
husbands and wives could remove the
discomfort. and even that, when the
novelty wore off, would leave things
just as bad.

"piince" for friend must line up to
the ideals OF the "prince." Jonathan,

took the clothes from his back that
his friend should appear at court in
suitable garments. Friendship enjoys
acts OF self-denial. The only way to
have friend is to be friend.

froth. then beat the yolks thoroughly,
and whip the two lightly together.
Whip or fold in lightly one cupful of
sugar. Flavor with vanilla, and add
one level cupful of flour, sifted sew
eral times with one heaping teaspoon
full of baking powder. Lightly whip in
the flour and baking powder with the
other ingredients, and add half a cup
full of boiling milk. Bake in square
tins, and turn them upside down when
the cake is done, resting two opposite
sides on blocks so that the air can pass

Cookies, properly made, are most APP
propriate for childrens luncheons.
They are much more digestible than
rich cake or pastry, and if they are
cut in fancy shapes, like stars or ami
mails, they will seem all the more ap-
petizing. They need not always be
made of butter. Delicious cookies are
often made of chicken fat or beef
"drippings," commonly known as the
top of the pot The chicken fat or
"drippings' should be tried out and a
tiny pinch of salt added.
Hickory nut cookies are favorites.
To make them, cream one cup of butter
or shortening and two cups of sugar,
and add two eggs and pound of hick-
Dry nuts chopped fine Mix with flour
until rather stiff and cut into round
shapes. Bake in a rather hot oven,
and if frosted tops are desired rub
them, when slightly brown, with the
white of an egg and sprinkle with SUI
gar.
Marbled jumbles are attractive and
appetizing in the school luncheon bask-
ct. To make them, cream one cup of
butter or shortening and two cups of
sugar. Add four we'll beaten eggs and
three scant cups of flour, with which
has been sifted two teaspoonfuls OF
baking powder. Separate the batter
into two parts. and to one part add one
cupful or half a cupful of melted choc-
olate. To the other half add the juice
and grated rind of an orange. Roll the
two kinds of dough together, so that
the cookies as they are cut out will be
streaked with the chocolate.
A delicious rule for simple cookies is
one in which sour milk is used. Beat
together one cup of butter and two
cups of sugar, and add one cup of per-
fectly fresh sour milk and four eggs.
Sift in flour enough to make soft
dough, with teaspoonful of soda.
Flavor with lemon or orange, and roll
out on a we'll Toured bread board.
Sprinkle a few caraway comfits, if de-
sired, over each cooky leaving out the
lemon or orange favoring.
Another rule for cookies calls for
half a cup of butter or shortening.
Cream the butter with a large cup of
sugar Add two we'll beaten eggs and
half a cup of milk. Sift in enough
flour to make a soft dough, with one
teaSpoonful of cream of tartar and a
half teaspoonful Of soda. Add lemon
or orange to flavor, sprinkle the dough
with shredded cocoanut, and roll out
into fancy shapes, if desired. Instead
of the cocoanut chopped peanuts OF
nuts of any kind, or CHOPPED raisins or
stewed prunes, may be mixed with the
dough
