Mrs. Roosevelt had been importuned to
become the President General, but Mrs.
Roosevelt had troubles of her own, and
firmly. if politely, declined the Office. Mrs.
Fairbanks, like her distinguished husband,
was entirely non-committal. She didn't
talk bit more than he talked. She never
even said that she would or would not ac-
cept the office IL rendered her. yet her
friends were working like Trojans for her,

SCHOOL AND RACE QUESTIONS.


The race question has brought count
less woes to this country. The calm wis
dom of the American people should see to
it that it brings no more.
To revive the dead and hateful race
and sectional animosities in any part of
our common country means confusion,
distrac action of business, and the reopening
of wounds now happily healed. North,
South, East. and West haye but recently
stood together in line of battle from the
walls of Peking to the hills of Santiago,
and as sharers of common glory and a
common destiny we should share fra
ternally the common burdens.
We therefore deprecate and condemn
the Bourbon-lke. selfish, and narrow spirit
of the recent Republican Convention at
Chicago, which sought to kindIe anew the
embers Of racial and sectional strife, and
we appeal from it to the sober, common
sense and patriotic spirit of the American
people.

CIVIL SERVICE.
The Democratic party stands committed
to the principle of civil service reform,
and we demand it's honest, just, and
impartial enforcement
We denounce the Republican party for
its continuous and sinister ncroachments
upon the spirit and operation of civil
service rules, whereby it has arbitrarily
dispensed with examinations for Office in
the interests of favorites and employed
all manner of devices to overreach and
set aside the principles upon which the
civil service was established.

THE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION

REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION.
The existing Republican Administration
spectacular, and arbitrary. 1t has made
itself satire upon the Congress, the
courts, and upon the settled practices and
usages of national and interna tional law
1t summoned the Congress into hasty
and futile extra session, and virtually ad-
journed it, leaving behind its fight from
Washington uncalled calendars and un-
accomplished tasks.
1t made war, which is the sole power of
Congress, without it's authority, thereby
usurping one of its fundamental preroga-
tives. 1t violated a plain statute of the
United States as well as plain treaty
obligations, international usages and con-
stitutional law; and has done SO under
pretense of executing great public policy
which could have been more easily ef-
fected lawfully, cOnstitutionally, and with
honor.
It forced strained and unnatural con-
structlons upon statutes, usurping judi
cial Interpretation, and substituting Con-
gressiOnal enactment decree.
1t withdrew from Congress its custo-
mary duties OF investigation, which have
heretofore made the representatives of
the people and the States the terror Of
evil doers.
1t conducted secretive investigation OF
it's own and boasted Of q few sample con-
victs, while it threw q broad coverlet
over the bureaus which had been their
chosen field of operative abuses and kept
in power the superior officers under whose
administration the crimes had been COM
mitted.

lies. but, paralyzed by its first victory. IL
flung out the flag of truce and cried out
that it would not run amuck"-leaving

lations.

Tom Watson at the head Of the "Allied
forces of the Peoples Parties" is nearly
as huge joke as Tom Watson in Congress.
BY the way, the old chestnut Of "Where
am l at" will now be revived, and. as
usual, pinned to Tom Watson. As a mat
ter of fact, Tom Watson never used the
expression. Tom Watson is q good deal of
scholar and does not speak ungrammatic-
ally, except in imitation of some one else.
The historic expression came from the lips
of Clarke. of Alabama. Clarke wasn't a
teetotaler by any means. He looked on
wine when it was red and when it was any
old color, and he did not always confine
himself to wine. On a certain memorable
day he was making a speech on the money
question. He had sampled good many
kinds Of wet goods. and had several kinds
brought up from the lower regions of the
Capitol to stand on his desk. The kind
labeled "hop tea" was usually brought up
in a teacup, but it smelled just the same
as though labeled something else. He

The game Of politics has the Daughters
of the American Revolution guessing. That
way-up aristocratic organization has az
hard q time settling the question Of its
Presidency as either Of the great political
parties. A few years ago the Daughters
had President whom they did not like, yet
seemed not to be able to get rid Of peace
ably under their Constitution. So they set
about changing the Constitution Of the Ma
tiOnal body, and the service of the said
President-Gencral was cut short by the
statute of limitation" under the new rules.
Then Mrs. Charles w. Fairbanks was elect
ed President General.
Mrs. Fairbanks, be it known, is just
whole bunch. She knows things, and She
does things. and she knows them straight
and does them right. Mrs. Fairbanks il a
strong. forceful character, yet dimpled,
pretty. gracious and apparently very yield
ing. In that lies her strength. She lets
you think you are doing things, when all
the time she is just twisting you to her
purposes-but. mind you. those purposes
are proper. She does not seem to know
how to do mean thing, and she has in the
three years that she has been at the head
OF the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton cleared up more fuses, straightened
out more tangles. and quelled more rows
than has appeared in the annals of the So-
ciety, and they are not a few.
.
Mrs. Fairbanks's term Of Office will ex.
pire next April, and under the new Consti-
tuition she is not eligible for reelection
Now this 10 just awful! The Daughters
have always tried to have at the head of
their Society some woman OF National
official position. The President General
preceding Mrs. Fairbanks was the
wife Of q former Cabinet officer.

 Britt began to move his arm ginger ly.
 Don't be in hurry to exercise it,'' said Dr Donovan. The strength of an arm is seldom lost; it will be as good as ever with very little exercise. ;
 'sWell, I'm in for a good long vaca- tion from the ring" said Britt. ''I guess it will do me more good than harm. I trained hard to win the featherweight championship, and I know can keep it for years if I am not obliged to work too hard.'
