MRS. NATION SATISFIED.
In San Antonio She Finds a Town
After Her Own Heart.

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 13.-Finding
this to be a reasonably temperate town,
instead of the wicked place which the
Reform league had told about, Carrie
Nation looked around, packed her grip
and left the city on the first train. She
said:
For the first time in my life have
found a pure city. The people are good
and the government is good. Thank
heaven rum has no foothold here. By
the side of the degenerate towns Of
Wichita and Topeka, San Antonio is
paradise and the only God-fearing city
in America
Mrs. Nation made a speech in the
street, conplimenting the city officials
and residents. She said she was pleased
to find a place where saloons were kept
in leash and where gamblers were not
allowed. She was banqueted by MEM
perance union. She will interview the

be II cents a hundred; for distances of
over 80 miles IL per cent of the first

concession is even more than the
drummers expected. The rule is prac-

roads will oppose the order of the COM
mission placing comm ercial samples on
the excess baggage list. Attorney Cen
eral Guion of this state has
handed down a decision that drum
merS' samples can not be routed as ex-
cess, and upon this decision the rail-
roads placed great stress. The case will
likely reach the supreme court.
In the matter of the request of the
Louisiana & Arkansas road to raise
rates to S1.50 a bale on all cotton SNIP
ped into Shreveport, the commission
authorized that the conditions be i'll

rendered in the case of the Standard

Russian Ambassador Says There Can
Be No Other Outcome.

New York, Oct 13.-Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador, who spent
the summer months in Maine, has
arrived here on his way to Washing

legation. Discussing affairs in the. far
east the ambassador declared the war
must go on to the end.
There can be but one outcome,
he continued. When I say an end

MAYOR JONES ON EQUAL RIGHTS.

The late Mayor Golden Rule"
Jones Of Toledo, Ohio, was a firm
believer in the political rights of
women. In an article contributed
to the Woman's Journal of Boston,
he SAID in part:
"Any scheme that proposes to
develop just social and political
order must be based on absolute
equality. This thought has hardly
gained foothold even yet among
the people Of the United States.
We glibly say that we believe in it;
but as a rule our lives demonstrate
that we have no conception Of it.
Indeed when we think Of equality
in connection with government, our
thoughts are mainly for equality
among men. Men have thus far
held all, or nearly all, the sinecures
as well as the Offices where real
service is performed, and, with the
exception Of very few "progres-
sive women" there are none, am
sure, who ever think that an abso-
lutely essential first step towards
liberty is the recognition OF this
principal Of equality Of tie sexes.
even to day the woods are tulP
particularly the fashionable woods)
Of women who pride themselves on
their inequality, or better, inferior
~ who freely say that they want to
play the 'clinging tendrll to the
sturdy oak to their husbands; they
want TO feel they are cared for In
short they want TO be regarded as a
toy, or what is perhaps worse,
mistress.
'It is very simple proportion,
this idea that the man and woman
must be equal, in order to produce
perfect society. No one would
expect to develop an ideal family
life where the mother was regarded
as inferior to the father, where the
children we're taught 70 look upon
The mother as an inferior being. In
fact spiritual equality must be ad
mittcd before there can be perfect
/ co operation, and as the perfect
family cannot be produced, as the
race cannot be propagatcd and per.
pctuatcd except by the equal co
operation Of the father and mother
man and woman, so 10 follows, as
the night the day, no scheme Of
government can ever be devised
hat will be a just government that,
does not take this principle into &C.
count and build upon it as found
alton stone"

The most important thing that
has happened in politics since the
adjournment of the St. Louis con-
vention is the declaration of the
New York Herald in favor of Park
er and Davis. 1t is not a quasi de-
claration, but bold, clear, strong
and unequivocal, giving reasons up
on which it is made. The Herald
is and for years has been absolutely
independent still. In that fact is
found the great Importance of its
bugle blast for the Democratic can
didates. 1t is a clarion call to the
independent voters of the land to
rally to the standard of Judge Park
er and Senator Davis. That it
means thousands of votes for them
there can be no sort of question.
Straws show which way the wind
blows, and the Herald's editorial is
the first straw showing that the Dem
ocrats will win. -'

IT'S DEMOCRACY's YEAR.
From the Wheeling Register


William Pitt Kellogg thinks that
'rhe Democrats are likely to over
throw us at the polls next Novem-
ber." This is his view of il:
"You will remember that Harri.
son secured the nomination in OPP
position to the combined efforts of
the leaders of his party. President
Roosevelt has nominated himself,
contrary TO the desires of all the
old guard who have struggled in
season and out to build up the party
organization. Ia addition to Presi.
dent Roosevelt's unpopulanty with
the party leaders, there is much un-
certainty about the policy he will
pursue in case of re. election. The
country is restless under his admin
istration of public affairs, and con-
servative business interests would
welcome a change such as they be-
lieve would come with the election
of Judge Parker"
Kellogg may not be regarded as
an ideal statesman, but as Henry
Waterson puts it, he is pretty old
and shrewd hand at the political
bellows, and is apt to know what
he is talking about.

Ex-senator II. G.. Davis, the
Democratic candidate for vice
president, advises the Publishers
Press to unequivocally deny the
story which appeared in number
of morning papers to the effect that
Mr.. Davis would shortly wed Mrs.
Nathal Reynolds, of Shepherdstown,
w. Va.
According to the report of Mr..
Davis coming marriage, Mrs.
Reynolds IS an old boyhood sweet
heart of the vice presidential candi
date. She is 10 years Of age. 1t
was said while he was a brakeman
on the b. & o railroad he became
a sutton for Mrs. Reynolds then
Miss Katherine Cushwa's hand.
She favored his suit, so the story
goes, but her father opposed it and
the two separated.
Now it was reported, after long
years Of separation and after both
had been married and one became a
widow and the other a widower.
they had met again and the old vows
had been renewed.

April 9Th. 1904, was the worst
dag within the memory of the
oldest inha bitants. 1t was Mis-
souri's statute Arbor Day.
Since little could be done on
that day it is hoped that schools

several hours each week in
studying, cleaning and putting
the school premises in good
condition. Let the work culml-
nate with appropriate exercises

continue the good work at their
homes and to keep the school

The position of principal of a
small graded school is a most
difficult one He must organize
an entire scheme of schoo |
work, be helpful to every teach
er in planning her work so as
to have unity in the organiza-
tion and, in addition teach a
full high school course. The
people demand broad-gauged,

and there is frequent change.
In the unity of the state sys-
TEN this is a very essential link.

Ten Things For Girls To Do

The following are ten things
every girl can learn before she
is Is. Not every one can learn
to play or sing or paint well
enough to give pleasure to her
friends, but the following "ac-
complishments" are within
everybody's reach:
Shut the door softly.
Keep your room in order.
Have an hour for rising and
rise.
Learn to make bread as we'll
as cake.
Never let a button stay off
twenty-four hours.
Always know where your
things are.
Never let day pass without
doing something to make some
body comfortable.
Never come to breakfast IN
tidlly dressed.
Never go about with your
shoes unbuttoued.
Never enter correspondence
with a gentleman unless you are
engaged to him. Follow the
advice of the heroine in "War
to the Knife" who says: Say
as much as you like, my dear;
but write as little as possible!
