LET THEM HAVE THEIR MEDI-
CINES.

The Legislature is still worrying over
the anti-patent medicine bill Is it.
not a little strange that al a time when
there are really important matters de-
manding its attention it should be
wasting its time and the peoples mon
ey in efforts to enact sumptuary laws?
1t is a source of constant complaint
that Congress keeps the country in a
state of unrest by its threats to legis-
late again human nature and necessi-
~. and vet we have only to look at
home to see the same thing.
If there is any one thing the Amer
lean people like better than another it
is to read patent medicine advertise
ments in search of remedies for the
particular ailments from which they
suffer or imagine they do. Most peo-
pie think there is something the mat
ter with them whether there Is or not,
and it is a comfort to them to try
patent remedies of one kind and an
other which they believe will benefit
them. And there is no doubt that the
percentage of them that is benefited
is very large. Imagination, OF course,
has something to do with it, but, as
matter of fact, most of the patent
remedies are made from prescriptions
that are the very best for the diseases
for which the medicines are recon-
mended.
There is alcohol in some of them no
~, Io nvf4 Of
1t is probable that 1t is a necessary in
gredent If it were not, it is pretty
certain that something else would be
used
II, I'm the dry counties there are
those who do not wish to buy a
demijohn or jug of old rye or new
corn whisky, but find solace in a patent
medicine for the vacancy below the
belt that affects so large a percentage
of the human family. there is no rea-
son why there should be law making
IL difficult, IL not impossible, for them
TO get IT,.
Everybody who wants dram can
not spare the money to go to Savan-
nah. Atlanta. or Augusta. or some other
place for it. our prohibition advo-
Gates should be satisfied with what
they have accomplished by means of
local option, in reducing the amount
of hot stuff used by their friends and
neighbors, and leave patent medicines
alone. II these medicines contain
whisky or any other liquor so much
the better, because then the buyer gets
more for his money than II they
were composed of only herbs and water.
Wouldn't it be better all things con-
sidered. II the members of the Legis-
lature were to drop the anti-patent
medicine agitation and let their constit-
uents who like to dose themselves
| for their imaginary or real ailments
have the satisfaction Of doing SO? The
! Finance Committee of the Senate seems
| to think so.

MUSIC VS.. MEALS.

In the course of an address before
her club the other day, a Chicago club
woman expressed pride in the fact that
she knew how to cook and was not
ashamed to do it whenever the occa-
sion called her into the kitchen. There
is a young married woman Of my ac-
quaintance," she said, whose husband
is a clerk on a very modest salary.
But she positively refuses to touch a
pot or a pan. The other morning her
cook failed to put in an appearance.
The larder was we'll stocked and it
would have been a matter of only a
few minutes and little trouble to have
prepared an omelette, toast and cof-
fee. But the wife couldn't or wouldn't.
get the breakfast. Instead she sent
her husband out TO restaurant for
something TO eat, and sat down and
played 'rag-time' on the piano until
something could be sent to her from
the restaurant, And that was the
way things went until a new servant
was found The wife was ready enough
to hammer out 'rag-time' music, but
she wouldn't hammer out a simple little
meal"
There are doubtless number OF
husbands in Savannah who, will read
the foregoing with a strong fellow
feeling for the Chicago clerk who had
married a "tag-time" piano player and
not helpmeet, The average, we'll
balanced hushand-and the majority
of husbands come into that category
does not marry TO get cook. He
prefers that his wife should not cook,
unless his circumstances are such that
necessity demand IL. He is willing TO
slave at the Office or the shop or wher-
ever his work lies. in order that she
may have as easy a time as possible
He feels that it is his duty 10 stand
between her and work. so far as il
lies in his power to do SO. and he is
ready to make sacrifices for her com
fort and convenience And there are
women who regard this difference as
their inalienable right. and demand il.
They are willing 20 accept any sacrifice
to put their husbands TO any amount Of
extra trouble and expense, 10 save
themselves a bit OF effort and work
This statement may sound disagree
able. but It is true. and countless hus-
bands, and their wives as well, know
II is true. Such women regard kitchen
work as mental and beneath their
dignity. They have been educated
wrongly. Their heads are Allied with
erroneous ideas. They are burdens to
the devoted husbands who strive for
them overwhelmingly year after year
They are not M 20 be wives. And vet
their name Is legion.

Probably the first child in the
country to be named after the presi-
Dental nominee at st. Louis. came into
the world in Indianapolis Saturday
morning at about the same hour that
the nomination was made. The birth
occurred at the city hospital. The
mother is Mrs. Ella Drinnin and the
attending physician suggested to Mrs
Drinnin that the child be named after
the St. Louis nominee. She readily
consented and the youngster is to be
called Parker Drinnin.

TIE NEW cHA1RMAN.

Mr. Thomas Taggart, the new chair
man Of the Democratic National Com
mittee. and the manager of the Demo-
cratic campaign, has the reputation
Of being a vote getteT, and among the
Democratic leaders there is the utmost
confidence felt that he will do all that
ii is possible for any man to do to elect
the Democratic national ticket. He IS
one of the best and most successful
politicians that Indiana has produced,
and it will he admitted that that state
has produced some very able ones.
Mr. Taggart is what is called a self
made man. He is a genial. jovial Irish
man. and ne has made it his business
to make friends ever since he got his
first job at II years Of age as an at
tendant at lunch counter in the In
dianapolis railroad depot. That was
somewhere about 1873. and by 1881 he
had a little hotel Of his own near the
railroad station. OF course he began
early to take an interest in politics.
Most Irishmen like politics, especially
those who seek advancement in this
country. The first office he got was
that Of auditor of Marion county the
county in which Indianapolis is stu
ated, 1t was worth about $4,000 a
year. The nomination for it was given
to him because the Democratic leaders
thought there was no probability of the
election of a Democrat. Mr.. Taggart
surprised them. He hustled for votes
and he got enough to give him the Of
flee. OF course that put him on the
road to financial as well as political
success. Then he bought one of the
biggest and best hotels in indianapolis,
and fixed it up in such style that it
was regarded as the leading hotel of
the city. He was reelected auditor
and then was elected Mayor and ma
tional committeeman. And now he is
the manager for the National Demo-
cratic party and believes that he can
bring about the election of Judge
Parker. If he doesn't succeed he will
be very much disappointed man.
He has a good many qualities that
fit him for his new position. In the
first place he is familiar with the cam
paign methods of both of the great po-
ltical parties. He knows about every
prominent man in Indiana, and he has
met most of the leading public men of
the nation. He is a practical politician.
He doesn't believe in theorzing in pol
itics. He is quick to see weak points
in the plans of an adversary and is
prompt to take advantage of them.
While, with the exception of the cam
paign in which Parker delegates to the
st. Louis convention were chosen by
the Indiana Democrats, his experience
has been confined to local politics,
there is no doubt that he has the in
tellectual grasp to handle a national
campaign as successfully as he has
handled local campaigns. He has con-
fidence in himself and he has the con-
fidence of the Democratic leaders
That he will give Mr.. Cortelyou, Mr..
Roosevelt's young man, some sur
prises, is the belief of those who know
Thomas Taggart best.

Gov. warfield of Maryland, address,
ing the graduating class OF girls
school the other day. advised the girls
10 shun Cupid's darts until they had
reached the age Of twenty-six. EX-
planning afterwards, he said that he
had made the remark in a rather play
full spirit. that what he really wish
ed to impress on the girls, was that
they should not be in too much of a
hurry 70 get married. Many wom-
en- these days are getting married too
young. His wife was twenty-siX when
he married her, and he had told his
daughters that he would withhold his
consent 10 their marriages until they
had reached that age. At twenty-six
a woman is mature enough TO avoid
taking a foolish step. one that would
be regretted when II was too late
The Governor said he thought there
were times when q girl might do well
enough to marry Al twenty-one, but
one had better not marry younger than
that age. Too many mothers. the Gov
ernor said were eager TO push their
daughters into married life before they
were fitted for the duties and serious
fsres OF wife
