Beauty Not a Fatal Gift

A professor in Philadelphia business
college has informed a local reporter
that beauty is an obstacle to the employ
ment of women in business houses. says
the New York Mail. In Philadelphia, 1t
seems, business men do not, when they
advertise for stenographer, add the
words: NO pretty girl need apply" but
they go on that principle. 1t appears
that they fear frivolity as an accompani-
ment of beauty. 1t is possible that this
is a good and safe rule in Philadelphia
but it is certainly not a rule that is hon
ored here, and We doubt if it is in any
city where feminine beauty is not so
rare as to excite suspicion when it oc-
ours. Nor is there the slightest ground
for the assumption that pretty wom-
an is likely to be any more frivolous
than a plain one. The gift of beauty
may, indeed be fatal if no strength go
with it, but the newer, the sounder
chivalry of our modern time assumes
that goodness goes with beauty as nor
mally among women as it does through
out the whole gamut of nature

nouncing that the Burnside, which has
been engaged In laying a cable from

TRAINED BY DAVID HILL.
Serious Accusations Brought Against
Parker by Populist Candidate
for President.

Thomas f. Watson, p0pulist candl-
date for president, is a literary mau,
having written several books which
have had wide circulation. His pro-
fciency in the use of words to CX-
press ideas is manifest on the stump
as well as in his published works.
One phrase which Mr. Watson en-
ploys, and which is particularly eX-
pressive, calls Judge Parker "HilHs
favorite pupil" The interesting part
of this appellation is its truth. As
Watson says: TRAINED for 20 years
in the school of Dave Hill, it would
be a marvel indeed if the favorite pu-
pill did net somewhat resemble the
master who taught him"
But the populist leader goes farther.
He charges that Parker is not only
the favorite pupil of David b. Hill,
but that he is also the stalking horse
OF the corporations. With plain
speech Watson says of corporate in
fuences in the Parker campaign:
"What has been promised the STAN
dard Oil company that its New York
agent, Pat McCarrcn, should have
given the greater part of his time tor
two years to the Parker campaign
What has been promised to Belmont
that he should have been so active in
personal work and so lavish in finan-
cling the Parker campaign during the
last two years? What do these greedy
corporation hordes expect from Par
ker? Are they doing this simply for
health and pleasure, or is it matter
of business with them? 1t is high
time that the people of this country
woke up to the fact that corporate
interests represented by Belmont, Pat
McCarren. Lamont, German, Carlisle
and Olney are not in the habit of
spending their time and their money
OH any candidate unless they have
good reason to believe that they will
get value received"
Again, this plain spoken populist
declares that Parker is "a false pre-
tense, dodger, trimmer, who is
willing to get if he can the votes Of
those who would never support him
II he were to say in plain English just
what his convictions are"
That is quite a series of accusations
TO bring against a candidate for the
presidency: First. that he is the IA
Vorite pupil Of David b. Hill; second,
that he is the instrument Of corporate
influences, and third. that he is A
trimmer who is willing to suppress
his views in order to get votes. This
is not description formulated by re-
publicans, but by another party and
by the candidate of that party for the
highest Office in the nation.
The Troy Times concludes that such
a candidate. nominated by the demo-
Gratis and willing, after the St. Louis
convention had agreed TO hold the
money question in allegiance, to insult
free silver men with whom he had
voted for eight years by sending a
telegram to catch the gold democratic
vote, it is not surprising that the old
Bryan democrats are in revolt against
Parker. 1t is n conservative estimate
that the populsts will get %, 900 votes
in Uew York state this year. ana
these will be cast by democrats who
are opposed to the influences that are
behind Judge Parker and to the weak
ness and stiffness which his candi-
dacy has developed.
