COAL WILL Be TEXT
FOR CAMPAIGN BOOK
Democrats Will Fight
Along New Line.

Conditions prevailing in the anthracite
coal regions Of Pennsylvania will be one
OF the principal features OF the Demo-
cratic campaign text book.
Chairman Cowherd, when he left
Washington for New York last Satur-
day. carried with him nearly all the ma
terial necessary for the book, and before
returning to Washington ne, with other
Democratic leaders. will thoroughly re-
wise the old text book, and edit the ma
terial prepared for the present issue.
Most OF the material for the fOrthcOm-
ing book was prepared here IN Wash
ington, at the Democratic Congressional
headquarters. Facts and figures were
obtained and converted into convincing
arguments for the Democratic spell
binders.
To Argue From Price of Coal.
The Pennsylvania Democrats have
been a little slow In pushing the tariff
question, but the text book will make
their hair stand on end. Il will show
that anthracite coal is not on the pro-
tected list. but. at the same time. tn
price OF coal has been steadily or the
increase.
This argument will be one OF the
strongest advanced by the Democrats.
They Will endeaver 10 show that the
anthracite coal miners have been de
ceived by the Republican party, and
their arguments viii be backed by facts
and figures to show that the miners are
now getting the little end OF the stick.
They VIII maintain that Il is pro
lection that does not protect" and hope
10 win out on that line.

The Requisite SalaTu.

We'll, my boy. I'll make your sal
airy S10O a month TO start on. If you
behave yourself you can live COM
fOrtably on that, and if you don't be-
have yourself you oughtn't to have
any more"
When Secretary Shaw addressed
these remarks 10 a young man about
20 90 TO work under his jurisdic-
ton, he augmented his own claim
10 the title OF philosopher He
took a liberal view. too. The salary
he mentioned is not great, but it is
far larger than most beginners get.
Mr.. Shaw can remember the time
when 500 as a monthly income was
only a sort of dream TO himself. and
the realization would have seemed the
visit Of the goddess of fortune.
A salarysOf 800 a month will not
permit of extravaganza. On the other
hand il makes a decent and seemly
mode of living quite within reach.
The young man accepting it as pay
for his first position OF importance
would be foolish TO grumble at it as
inadequate. II is several times great
er than others fully as capable have
been glad to accept.
There are many people who seem
to get along comfortably. save a little,
buy a home, and at last are counted
among Jthe well-to-do, who not only
do no. begin at 500 a month, but
never reach this figure. They know
how TO cut their cloth. and do not ex-
pect 10 get rich In a day.
There absolutely is nothing new to
be said on the subject. The Secretary
is right The man who doesn't be-
have is getting. too much when on
the pay roll at 500, for there are
plenty who are competent, and do be-
have. who would be glad to have their
names there.

hut sufficiently onerous to engage his
whole attention. II he step outside
the beaten path IT must involve either
an extra strain upon him, or the turn
ing over Of his work 10 a subordinate.
II would be an excellent thing il the
Indicated wish Of Mr.. Roosevelt were
10 be made into a rule. and the rule
held inyiolate even during the time Of
campaign. a feeling has arisen that
a Cabinet officer on the stump in
some measure detracts from the dig
nity Of his office. There could be no
real necessity for his presence there.
The policy OF an Administration is
made clear through its acts. and does
not need Interpretation. The princi-
pies OF a party are embodied in its
platform, and in the acceptances Of
its candidates. The press Of the c0un-
try reaches 10 its remOtest quarter.
Therefore the Cabinet officer has no
real call save his own zeal for ap-
pearing In public as an advocate, and
an exhibition OF this zeal easily might
be miscOnstrued.
II probably would be more accept

partiality. the circumstance is TO be
deplored
For this country to sink politically
to Philadelphia level would be a
painful thing. Efforts to prevent a
consummation so dire are to be COM
mended, and perhaps lop-sided ef-
forts, furnishing but part of the Of
Tenders, are better than none. The
idea that ballot boxes may be stuffed,
or ballots thrown out at viii, has been
permitted to prevail too long 1t is
getting a severe and badly needed
check in Colorado. and seems likely
TO test the cell capacity of that Com
monwealth.
Some inquiry arises as to why the
woman voter should have failed so
signally u lift elections TO the plane
OF decency. Prediction was made that
when the women of Colorado were
given the privilege of voting they
would diyest elections OF their sinis-
ter aspect. The polling place was 10

sacred franchise a new meaning.
There has been no change. The old
tactics had become a habit. and the
habit still asserts itself. To the
credit of the women. however, it is to
be said that they have not been
caught in fraud. Ii is not TO be sup
posed they could have cheated and
escaped notice, and the conclusion is
fair that such as voted, voted only
once. and such as counted. counted

The women are all right themselves,

WASHINGTON SOCIAL LAWS.

Some new complications will be
added this season TO the already hope
less tangle OF Washington's social Gus
toms and usages. What is the proper
thing to do now and what has been
the etiquette Of the past will be thor
oughly set forth next Sunday. II is
no easy matter 10 define the social
laws of Washington. On some points
the highest authorities in the Capital
differ. The decisions on such points
as precedence at dinner and the rela-
tive rank of the justices OF the Su-
preme Court and the ambassadors OF
European capitals have perplexed the
officials OF the State Department and
threatened to strain the friendly rela-
tions between this Government and
the other powers. The story In next
Sundays Times will show how sue
eessful hostesses have avoided danger
Gus paths and how they will treat the
questions arising during the coming
season.

The Simple Life.

A long line of noble lives and fruit
ful labor answers in the mind to the
mere title OF that remarkable lecture
delivered here Tuesday afternoon,
The Simple Life.
How il radiates from the Biblical
stories of Christ How fully il domi-
mated His great ministers, Peter. Paul,
Wycliffe. Luther, Calvin, Wesley!
How fully il proved the eaTnestness
OF Socrates, Plato. Aristotle, Darwin,
Huxley, Spencer, Fiskel How il un-
derlies the meditations in the great
epics-the Illiad, the Aeneid, the In
fennO. Paradise Lost. the Light of
Asia! How far it inspired Michel
angelo, Beethoven, Milfeti How il
radiates the spirit of those who loved
their fellowmen, Thomas a Kempis,
Ruskin, Morris! How completely il
defines the careers of Washington,
Franklin. and Lincoln.
Nearly all the art and quite all the
accomplished material progress of
civilization arose from the simple,
plain. homely life which this awk-
ward Alsatian peasant preached 10 us
in the -theater. And America, more
than all other nations. has profted
by means of it. and has grown into
the greatest need for it.
In Italy and Russia men lead sim
pie lives through poverty. In Ger
many through phlegm. In England
the strife for bread among the poor
and the wild race for empty position
among the rich restrict the simple
life 10 the middle class.
In America it is open to everyone.
The common schools have nurtured
the ideals on which il rests-work for
the love of good work we'll done;
play for the rest of the body and
spirit and the airing of the brain;
love for home and family and fellow
man. The unchallenged manhood
among all ITS citizens has fostered its
growth The rare treasures of the
soil and the premium which the world
puts upon skill in the craftsman have
given the material means. In Amer
lea the simple life" is open to the
whole nation.
Yet men are putting il aside every
where. The open air Of the country
side is abandoned for the reeking
mist of the cities. A brutal lust for
money is sitting the voice of the
spirit. sham is fighting honesty in
the open. The people of more than
one community have abdieated their
watch and left their hearths 10 the
mercy of wolves.
To this rushing, engulfing tide OF
misled humanity comes this simple
honest man with his noble message:
Be true 10 yourselves; seek happiness,
not gain; be at peace. not conflict:
and so fulfill the noblest ideals of your
affections. not the lowest cravings of
your appetites.
1t is an uplifting message TO a
great people. II only it has come in
timel
