ROOSEVELT AND GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

With few exceptions the central thought OF ell the
speeches delivered by the president on his extended
tn over the Western states has been good Citizenship
This tx has been elaborated illustrated and dwet upon
oaIv everywhere from the Mississippi to the Paclnc
coast. We do not know but expect that President
Roosevelt from his former experience in the west and
with frontier life learned that the and women OF the
west appreciate more fully what good citizenship means
than does the average Eastern community That is the
Western standard Of good citizenship is higher less sor
did contains less OF the imported elements which nave
come of seislave conditions than the more densely set
tied older and more graspng communities OF the East
There is patriotism in the all around enter
Prise of the West wholly wanting in the East VI
course there is degree municipal pride found in the
cities of the East but there of greed and of self
ishness
The president is wise right in his continual adVo
cacy of good citizenship The best guaranty for the sta
btv Of the republic is good citizenship All around good
citizenship would reegate the penentary, repeal penal
laws eliminate the poor house lock the court house.

BETWEEN CAPITAL AND LABOR.

The declaration of Bishop Henry C. Potter that
ganized may day render itself unpleasant
it remain in New York is certain to arouse dis
cusson
There time in the history Of the United
States when the forces of organized capital were so
strongly opposed by the forces of organized labor at
present Prosperity has to the labor unions as it
has all other interests in this country since the
panic began to recede in 1897. Full employment
with good wages for every who wants work has
helped promote organization among workngmen, and
has given the unions money with which to repensh
their treasures The qualification Of the ranks OF labor
has kept pace with the consolidation of the great indus
trial. commercial and transportation forces.
For these reasons the situation is which demands
careful There is need of moderation the
part of capital and of labor. There is limit beyond
which neither so with safety to its interests
Capital has been roundy denounced for its transforming
and public sentiment has crystaized into
demand drastic legislation which has partly been
complied with. 1t would be if similar criticism
of labor should be raised AS Bishop Potter says
there is big middle class of consumers who stand be-
capital and labor in this struggle and they
compelled to meet the exactions Of the trusts
side and Of organized labor the other.

Society,".

HE latest gossip of the studios is
 the pretty story that is being told of one of Blrminghams most beautiful women, who recently posed as a model for Edna Smith, the young portrait painter. who had picture at the Paris Salon few years ago.
 Miss Smith, like all artists, is constant- ly looking out for types and for the typi- cal American beauty.
 The beauty of a line, suppleness, origi- nality in appearance, are things that ap- peal to those superior ones who can transfer with a stroke of the brush or pencil the charms that others must be content only to admire or to envy.
 Miss Smith, with true artistic instinct, selected as her ideal type one of Birm- ingham's most eharmingly ideal women, Mrs. John w. Tomlinson, and asked her to pose for her just for the pleasure 1t would give the artist.
 And Mrs. Tomlinson with her charac- teristic graciousness consented to pose in Miss Smiths pretty studio.
 She was posed in black, soft clinging gown and a black hat covered with plumes.
 Miss Smith does not consider Mrs. Tomlinson an American type, but more of French type of beauty.
 And yet she is all that is charming in the American type. At the same time she has the air distingue in the ensem- ble with a certain easy grace of manner and movement that Is always charming, said the young artist in her studio yes terday
 "She is more like a French woman, and the Parisian containers would go crazy about her, for she Is just the type to set off French gowns to perfection.
 Tn Paris, in that brilliant fashionable life, one frequently gees types like Mrs. Tomlinson, who possess distinctive air that one seldom sees elsewhere.
 q do not know exactly how to de- scribe 1t, but 1t is there and it appeals to ones artistic instincts. 1 think that with the average American type one re- members certain characteristics and cer- tain features stand out more prominently than others. Then again with some wo- men one remembers only their clothes These are the women who have no in- dividuality Mrs. Tomlinson is an ideal type because of the fact that she is dis tinctive in a very charming way that one hardly knows what to admire most
 s'Is 1t her delicate coloring her grace, the way she wears her gowns? What ever it is she is a distinctive type with what the French call a great deal of savoir faire."
