ment 1t is the weakness of major
tiles to treat their power as though it
would be perpetual They forget that
those who give power may also take

Ideal Of Democracy.
The ideal of true democracy de-
mands the development and growth OF
the individual along natural not artt-
fetal lines, 1t is opposed TO paternal-
ism and stands for mdividualism, II
does not assume that YOU can mako
men wise and moral or thrifty and
prosperous by law, 1t recognizes in
hercnt forccse in society that will cor
rect and cure many evils that the doc
trinairc tries 20 subject to foolish
paternalistic laws. He searches and
iiuds weak spot In finite human
nature and forwith demands that n
law be enacted to correct Il, lie mis-
trusts the Individual and places all his
trust In barren statutes. He has no
faith in the great fundamental princi.
pie of democracy that the Test govern,
mont is that which governs the least,
He continually seeks TO invade the life
and liberty of the citizen and mako
him happier and better and more pros
porous than he would be II left TO
natural inclination, If he finds an In
dustry langutshing because OF clear
and comprehensive causes he never
discovers these causes but seeks TO
remedy the trouble by law, II he finds
that an industry does not exist, bC ~
fuses TO believe TINT there is good
cause for It's non.existence, and brings
Il into being by law, and II the result
of these p0tcrnalistic laws is 10 sttfle
some other industry or to mako other
industries pay unjust tribute, his
theories are not ut all disturbed, Ho
Immediately husies himself 10y devils
ing new legislation 20 meet the evils
he has brought about, one p0tornal-
istic law inevitably leads to others"

Madison, Jan. %.
An occasion of the utmost dignity
and formality and also a scene of
much beauty and large expression of
enthusiasm was the reelection of Sen
ator John c. Spooner of Madison yes
terday noon by the joint convention of
senate and assembly in the chamber
of the latter body. Flowers and flags
gave decorative effect to the scene;
there was eclat in every part of the
program down TO the smallest detail;
Senator Spooner never looked better
or greater. His speech was modest
in manner and in matter. Scarcely
once did he raise his voice above the
even tone of earnestness and dignity
with which he started and he made no
reference to the trials which have riV.
en- the party in Wisconsin. Two
things he said which may seem to fur
nish the belligerent stalwarts some
special satisfaction. Early in his re.

marks, mentioning the unanimity OF
the republican legislative caucus in
selecting him, he said he was grateful
that the party had never required him
in being a candidate for the Office to
assume the attitude of a Self-seekel
Again, paying a tribute to the repuL-
liCan party, he said that organization
had dealt wisely and effectively with

IS first introduced. She reserves this
favor for her intimate friends CT
when, as a good loser, she eongratu-
lates those who win from her.
The manner IN which a person
shakes hands is very often a strong
indication of character. Miss Astor's
friends say that her method is typical
of her-exclusive in general. but firm
in her friendships.
She is only 90 years old md has
been trained in an atmosphere of ex-
clusiveness, which in her fathers
home has been termed snobbishress.
She Is always accompanied by her
French governess, Nine. Flory, who
previously served as governess in the
families of the French aristocracy.
Miss Astor, in her natural quail
ties, resembles her mother, who was
the beautiful Miss Mary Dahlgren
Paul, of Philadelphia. The young girl
has often said that she would prefer
to be an American and live in Ameri-
ca. but her father is filed with
Anglomaniac prejudice. and fates
everything Yankee" IS he sneering-
ly calls it.
Miss Astor could not be counted as
pretty, but she possesses a subtle
charm that wins the hearts of all
with whom she associates. Sne is
fond of outdoor life and loves the
beautiful thoroughbreds n her
fathers great stables. She has Leen
reported many times to be Engaged.
Among others. the rich Duke of Rox-
burghe has sued for her hand but he
failed. and the nearest Miss Asto- has
ever come to falling in love was 18th
Captain II. Frazer, the 'tallest and
handsomest" guardsman in England.
