AN INDEFENsIpLE FLOP.

Newspapers, even great ones, some
times change sides in politics, and
give reasons for it which are more or
less sound, but the flop Of The Chicago
Chronicle has less to excuse 1t than
any we have seen. To use the Language
Of The Philadelphia Record:
The Chronicle, which was a Demo-
cratic paper until three days after
Judge Parker's nomination. has for its
daily leading article n column of such
abuse of the Democratic party as can
not be found in any Republican paper.
And yet the party is at least as good
today as it has been at any time In
the last eight years, and to all SQUAD
money Democrats-and The Chronicle
was one of these-it is much better. 1t
is an incomprehensible thing that a
paper which stood by the Democratic
Party during the past eight years
should bolt in after Judge Parker's NOM
ination on the ground that it cannot be
trusted on the finances, and that from
every point of view 1t is absolutely I'M
mt to govern.
From<a Southern point of view The
Chronicle has not been what we would
call a good Democratic newspaper. 1t
has frequently abused and misrepre-
scented the Southern people in a way
that, was exceedingly distasteful, to
say the least of it, yet 1t has all the
time claimed to be Democratic, and has
for the most part stood for the general
principles of Democracy. At the same
time it has freely criticised the Re-
publican Party, its principles and
policies, and has not been sparing in its
objections to the present administra-
ton.
To say that Roosevelt and his Party
are better now than they were a few
weeks ago is absurd. and 1t is equally
ridiculous to argue that the Democratic
Party is worse. AS The Record says
the Party Is much better and occupies
a much sounder position than 1t has
done during the past eight years. The
altogether fimsy excuse that the plat
from and Judge Parker are unsound on
the money question is too weak to
deceive any one. The Chronicle has
other reasons for its change of base
than any IT has given. The probability
is that its course is due to business
reasons. 1t has been crowded to the
wall as a Democratic paper by The
Chicago American, and in the hope of
retrieving It's lost fortunes it has be-
come radical Republican paper-a
field not recently occupied in Chicago.

NO LONGER WANTED.


In a recent issue of The Philadelphia
Record appears this rather significant
paragraph:
Negroes who will be thrown out OF
employment on the completion of the
Torresdale filters should be returned to
the South. If they be willing to go.
One of them is quoted as saying:
Done know what Ah'm a goin' to do.
All would go right back to ole Ala
bama whar All come from If All had the
money" Free transportation ought
to be provided. These men are going
to be discharged at a season when
this section. and when cotton picking
in the South will be retarded by the
lack of workers. 1t should be easy
to meet the expense of returning them
to their homes The Republican ma
phia that there is no need to keep them
on hand until after the November cleo
ton.
These colored laborers, If we under
stand the meaning of the article quoted,
were induced to go to Philadelphia to
do certain work. Evidently they are
not residents of that city or vicinity,
else there would be nothing said about
sending them back South. Returned
to the South" is the way The Record
puts it, as if they had been borrowed
for the occasion and were no longer
needed. 1t is plain that they are not
wanted. and the anxiety of the people
to get rid of them is at the bottom OF
The Records suggestion that free
transportation should be provided, II
they will leave.
1t may be that these colored people
will not leave Philadelphia of their own
choice, and it is hardly likely that any
attempt will be made to send them off
by force; we mean, by direct force. but
the means which will be employed will
be more cruel to the blacks than ii
they were provided with railroad
tickets and loaded onto the trains like
cattle. The method employed will be

And that dig at Republican PhiladeE

which does vast deal toward him
1t is this continual consciousness of
self that makes us Americans so fear
full of what our neighbors think of
us, that hampers us in our thought
and that makes us less able to act as
our right reasoning would dictate. The
Englishman. for instance, sails along,
calmly ignoring the whole world This
attitude is provocative of much hui
NOR at his expense, but does he not
do better by himself than the man
who is continually looking from right
to left to see what people about think
of him? The latter is so busy that
he has no time TO realize himself
Mind your own business and endeav-
or to be what you are made" says
the quotable Thoreau.
That is what we need to have drum
med into us from day to day. How
people take our jokes, how they like
the cut of our frocks or our coats,
what they think of our sitting in the
second balcony instead of the orches-
ira of theater, whether they think
we are affected because we acknowl-
edge a liking for Browning are
minor matters indeed; but 1t is over
just such trihes that many of us waste
precious moments and more precious
brain matter. Let the man and the
woman shake himself or herself free
from the coils of what they say" or
how it looks Let them be big
enough not to bother about such little
things. Let them think less about
their own persons and more how to
enjoy and profit by and be good in the
big, interesting world of people and
things which is all about them.-Home

In his home city. Springfield, H., a
story is told of Lincoln which has
never appeared in print. His house
had long needed a fresh coat of paint,
but political campaign was in prog
ress and "Abe" had no time to look up
painters.
During his absence for six weeks Of
circuit-riding in his one-horse shay.
Mrs. Lincoln had the matter attended
TO, and on his return when he drove
up to the little cottage on 9Th street
she came out on the steps to welcome
him. Paying not the slightest atten-
ton to her, Lincoln surveyed the
house from foundation to caves In a
dazed manner and then drove to the
next door, and called to his neighbor:
SAY Can you tell me where Abe
Lincoln livesT
You old goosel come home and be-
have yourself" laughed Mrs. Lincoln.

MOTHERHOOD.

Come to my arms, my darling;
Come, for the nightfall is near;
Come, and thy mother shall send thee
To dreamland with never fear.
Come, and thy mother shall sing thee
A lullaby softly and low
Sing thee to rest and to dreamland
Ere darker the day doth grow.
And as thou sleepest, my dear one,
Visions will come 10 her eyes
Visions of thee, strong in manhood.
Noble and gentle and wise.
Her heart will glow at the picture,
Thrilling with joy and with pride,
Yet the tears sadly fall as she presses
Thee close, little one, to her side.
And she knows that always at twilight,
Wherever, wherever thou art.
The same little lullaby, darling,
She'll sing to thee down in her heart.
