The Plaindealer takes exception to
recent editorial in this paper COM
mandatory of one in the Plaindealer
in which it was stated that the
trouble with the democratic party is
that it has been one of obstruction
and objection. The gnat at which the
Plaindealer strains is the fact that
this paper never finds anything good
in the Democratic party. In large
measure tnat Indictment is tue. IF
there we're more good in the principles
Of government as taught and believed
by the Democratic party than in those
regarded as the fundamental laws of
national administration by the Repub-
lican party, the man who would not
be Democrat would be a fool. The
history of the Democratic party, how
ever. has been tnat every important
policy which ha, at any time been ad-
vocated by the Republican party has
been either openly or incidentally en-
dorsed by the Democrats. While the
very measure advocated by the tier
party has either been abandoned by it,
or been proven to have been mere
fallacy. THESE things have driven
the leaders of that party from pillar
to post, until it has nothing left ex-
cept policy Of objection. It has fail
ed to adopt itself to new conditions
and to measure the Importance of
national policy in future conditions.
Its religion is looking backward
one; it narps on presidents instead
of events; it is constantly climbing
for last years birds nests. II To it
the glory of Rome has departed,
AMI it is opposed to the building Of
a greater Rome lest some of the ruins
of the past be disturbed. In this
progressive American age, the politi-
cal party that can command the at
tentive support of the people must
needs be one that can not only prov e
} itself able to meet the demands of the
present but must pe able to place the
nation in positions in which the

One of the most memorable debates
that have taken place in Congress for
years was that in the senate last week
in which Senators Hoar and German
criticised the ADMINISTRATION with re-
feren.e to it's conduct in the recogni-
ton of the Republic of Panama, and
Senator Foraker defended the course
of the President. The debate was
memorable in that the Massachusetts,
senator again took issue with his part,
on national matter and from the
further fact that both he and Senator
German attempted t., curtall morally
at least, the prerogative of the Presi-
dent. Sentor Hear wanted infolma-
ton as to the status of the de facto
government of Panama when it was
recognized by the Washington govern
ment. On this occasion he placed
himself in a very unenviable position.
He wanted the canal built by the
present Republican administration,
and by American enterprise but he
wanted string to all this, an d the
differences to be drawn from his
speech were that the President had
used some state chicanery to &C.
compish the results already obtained.
John Quincy Adams, who once repre-
scented the state which has honor ed
Senator Hoar, in discussing a message.
of President Jefferson, VINO was his
bitter political enemy said that he be-
lieved what the message said because
the President had stated it upon his
anigh honor. Tie American people
believe, even though Senator Hoar
and Senator German choose to think
u otherwise, that the men who have
filled the exalted position of chief exc
of the nation are not ward
Dol iticians, and that they rise above
the small practice of scheming politi.
clans. The President has acted with
vigor and without quibbling and
it may grind some of those who car
refer to their third of a century exper
fence in the halls Of congress to b
compelled to endorse such course
But the thinking people see it and ad

Not a symptom Of insanity.


The following flexible story, which
can be applied to any form of insanity,
is told of Sir William Van Horne, the
chairman of the board of directors Of the
Canadian Pacific.
Sir William, then Superintendent Van
Horne, called at an asylum to satisfy
himself of the sanity or insanity of q
man whom he had known.
"What are you here forP" he asked.
81 write poetry" said the man, ''and
they say am insane"
81 see! seel that's bad" said the
superintendent, shaking his head.
"What you in forp" the victim asked.
81 want to build railroad from the
Atlantic to the Pacific"
"Oh, well! you're all right. You'll be
out in q day or two. You're not crazy
you're just plain d-m fool"

Fashion Notes.

Little girls are wearing full length
white stockings.
The red frock which is always in
evidence at the French watering places,
has been very popular at our own sea.
side resorts.
Navy blue serge and white serge are
favorites for boating and yachting cos.
tunes. This season linen and mohair
were also used for this purpose.
The sailor collar appears on the outing
dress for autumn, but it differs from
that of last season, and is cut on the
lines of the dropping shoulder cape-col-
lar.
The lowered cotton nets are very
pretty, and are warranted to wear well
and resist dampness.
Among recent importations are smart
little loose coats of bright red cloth
faced with white linen.
The day of the pompadour is really
waning. Many young girls are parting
their hair and rolling the locks at the
sides in a fashion popular some years
ago, arranging it at the back In a loose
twisted or braided coil low on the neck.
And nets are appearing again-fine silk
nets to wear over the coil and keep the
ends in order. Older women wear their
hair on the crown of the head in an elon-
gated coil which is fastened in place and
surrounded by innumerable pins and
and combs. Those huge black bows
that gave one the appearance of being
ION tiptoe for a flight" are in their
decadence. You no longer tie six hairs
at the nape of your neck with a sash
ribbon. A fashion more reasonable is
now obtaining.-New Idea.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM SALAD
Dont's for homemakers.

Don't forget to consider we'll your
kitchen in all of its details. Ii is the
cooking department Of your home and
should be kept in order.
Don't fail to have all your pots clean.
Don't neglect TO brighten, weekly, the
faucets of sink and washtubs.
Don't throw away any slices OF stale
bread. Put them in pan and set them
in hot oven; when dry, roll finely and
use in place of cracker-dust.
Don't clean knives with a wet cloth.
A cork like those employed for bottle
shoppers serves an excellent purpose;
dip one end slightly in water, then in
the powder, then on the knife until
polish is gained.
Don't wash dishes carelessly. They
should first be gathered up, the plates
well scraped and piled up in rows. Com
mence by washing the silver, then on
until every one is nice and clean.
Don't waste cinders. This partly un-
burnt coal, if slightly wet, makes an ex-
cellent fire on ironing days. Economy
in fuel is one of the cardinal virtues OF
good housekeeping.
Don't keep your kitchen closet sloyen-
| ly and out Of order. Let all shelves be
lined with paper or oilcloth used for the
purpose. On one shelf keep dry gro
ceries and flavoring extracts. Reserve
another for tins, another for iron pots
and utensils of cooking nature.
Don't fail to keep in order the china
closet and the shelves of the buffet
cleanliness is next to godliness.
Don't make your bed as soon as you
get out of it; air it well. If possible,
put the blankets and sheets in the open
air for ten minutes at least before the
bed is dressed again.
Don't fail to keep the bedroom clothes
| in order; shoes should be in their place,
and all dresses and waists hung up by
loops of ribbon or tape.
Don't hang on your dressing table all
sorts of knickknacks; two silk bags for
collars and handkerchiefs are quite
enough.
Don't fail to keep your silverware
bright and clean.
Don't forget the fresh napkin for each
cover every day.-New Idea.

variegated and Ruffled Gas and Lamp
Shades.

, All sorts of lamp and gas and electric
light shades have been tried, made of
crepe paper and India silk, etc. But
they have always been of one color.
Now the fad Is to make them of ruffles
of chiffon, one above the other, in blend
ed colors. Some are made In the palest
pastel shades, and others in different
shades and tones of one color. They
are really lovely in shades of lavender,
pale blue, pink and green, and cast q
pretty and becoming light, and besides
are much more effective in the daytime,
as we'll as at night. Softshades OF green
are very pretty, and also Of pink, yellow,

winter, instead Of the old style of plain
colored ones.-New Idea.
