Walsh as Senator

Washington is interested in the
Colorado boom of Thomas Walsh for
United States Senator, for washing
ton recognizes Thomas Walsh as a
success One is not always able to
say so much of "new}r rich after
four years Of social campaigning in
the Capital of the nation
Indeed, so abundant have been the
failures and so few the successes OF
men who have come to Washington
as Tom Walsh came-with millions
in their pockets and Wanting ambi-
ton in their bOnnets-that prophecies
of Walsh's failure to get the inner
circle of established craftsmanship to
place its dignified and conservative
legs beneath the Walsh mahogany
have been far more numerous than
asserted expectations of his success.
But Walsh has accomplished the
feat He has entertained the Presi-
dent and the socially eminent of all
lands. He has introduced Colorado
to the effete East. and the effete East
has shouted, Great" and demanded
more. Some of the FESTIVE, unsettled
''whoop-la!" still characterizes a Tom
Walsh dinner, but the personnel of
the guests consistently destroys any
illusion one may retain that Tom
Walsh is still in the also ran" class
of the socially bafled
It is doubtless true as a generaIiza-
ton that social success is no especial
indication that the man who achieves
il will make good" as a United
States Senator. But it does not fol-
low that this generalization is true in
the case of Mr.. Walsh. who in the at
tanning of his social ambitions has
constantly displayed that nObler part
Of diplomacy which is termed states
manship.
A self-made man is more often
than not a cheap imitation of the nat
uraliy grown article, an unstable
product in which self-assertiveness is
substituted for assured possession.
bluff for genuine character, and blus-
ter for the calm and quiet of honest
breeding. The man VINO can retain
old friendships while making new
ones among the high and mighty Of
the earth. is a man self-made only by
accident. That describes Thomas
Walsh
He has succeeded where others have
failed, because, all unconscious to
himself, he possessed as an inherent
quality of his nature the philoso-
piers stone Of sincere unseIfshness.
Where others have leaped into the
social swim for the purpose Of magni-
flying their own personality and of
gaining for themselves that notoriety
which passes for fame, Tom Walsh
jumped because the greatest pleasure
in life for him consisted in giving
pleasure 10 others.
Colorado will honor herself by
sending Thomas Walsh to the Senate.
He would enter the body with an es-
tablished popularity which he would
extend 70 influence exercised wisely
and with consistent patriotic pur-
pose.
The Washington times., 1904-07-23

the small family of the modern Amer
lean is not altogether to be con
demned. 1t should be considered that
fewer children die in infancy now
adays than in the time of our grand
fathers.
Statistics show that in Chicago the
death-rate among children was re-
duced from $50 TO 40 between 1870
and 1900. That means that only one
third as many children die now in
infancy as died thirty years ago.
Manifestly, it is better to have four
children and bring them all up safe
ly than to have eight and see half Of
them die before they are ten years
Old.
Aside from the economic point of
view, the lives led by women who
spent the best years of their lives, as
a truthful writer put it. in bearing
and burying babies. must have been
too often such pathetic and useless
sacrifices as might well make ones
heart ache. It is partly the reaction
from the life led in homes where the
mother was a chronic invalid and
half the children died young, which
makes the modern American woman
less willing to assume the duties of
motherhood.
1t should also be remembered that
in such homes even the surviving
children were not always healthy, and
to go through life half equipped for
its battles is often an experience
which makes one feel that it were
better to die. What we need is not
irrational mothers and fathers with
fiocks OF half-nourished and half
trained children, but homes in which
intelligent parents care for all the
children they have, faithfully and
thoroughly

being "A contribution to the HoweIIs-
AtEertOn dispute about the "snug
standards Of the modern magazine.
Dick Wilmington had Industry. intelli-
gence and~health.
He chose the trade Of writing as The
shortest cut To wealth.
He journeyed TO the market with ten
dollars in his jeans,
Set up a modest workbench, and bought
all the magazines.
He studied them, and studied them, and
studied them again:
And this was his decision as he filed
his fountain pen:
IF I'm ever going to figure IN Table
Of Contents
must first Of all be timely. and I
mustn't give offense."
He turned a little trife, which he called
A Lima Bean"
And laid # on the doorstep Of a modern
magazine.
It was bourgeois" it was timely"
# was eminently safe"
And with open arms the editor embraced
the little waif.
Dear Mr.. Wilmington" he wrote, "the
founding made a hit.
The entire office read II, and we all are
pleased with it.
You may look TO see It in our August
Table Of Contents
Please send us other timely things
which do not give ofense."
From the proceeds Of this first attempt
Dicks shop began TO grow.
He bought n larger workbench, an cleo
trio dynamo.
a punctuater, sentence clipper, sand
machine for blots,
An expauder, a compressor, and a turn
ing lathe for plots.
His business grew like ragweed; his
plant ran night and day;
And soon he reached the point where he
was turning EN- away"
He figured every month In every Table

a man OF wealth,
Earned by his native Industry, inteIi-

To aspirants who after him their Iit'ry
course would shape,
His advice is: Watch the market. keen
your eye upon the tape.
It's not so much the things YOU write as
those which you leave out
That sell your wares Take Punch's
motto, Don't. when you're in doubt.
And If you hope TO figure IN a Table of

You must first of all be timely. and

SATURDAY. JULY %, 1904.
The Chosen Issue.

Advance sheets of the Democratic
campaign book-the omniscient doe
ument that is designed to be the
handbook and guide of the Demo-
cratic editor, the Democratic spell
binder, the Democratic committee
man, and the Democratic prophet
show that the chosen issue of the
Democracy is Theodore Roosevelt
not his principles nor his plans nor
his achievements, but his personality.
A genuine leader of men-the SUI
perman" of George Bernard Shaw's
revelatiOn-inevitably divides man
kind into two factions: his friends
and his enemies. This is precisely
what President Roosevelt has done
II he has aroused more personal 10y
atty than any Chief Executive of re-
cent years, he also has secured more
personal unpopularity.
The fact that The Democrats before
the st. Louis convention determined
to make their fight on the personality
Of the President, utterly regard less Of
the man they themselves should nom
mate for the Office of President. is
shown by the prominence given the
denunciatOry speeches Of Kitchin and
others in a book which says not a
word about money, brought so promi-
nently before the country by Judge
Parker.
It has been a consistently demon
strated truth in the history of the
country that parties do not make is
sues. An example of this occurred in
the campaign of 1896, when Mr.. Nc
Kinley and the Republican party
were as anxious to avoid the money
issue as the Democrats are today.
Conditions forced sound money on
the Republican party, and it was one
OF the most fortunate instances of
the workings of destiny that ever
happened to a group Of none too as
tute politicians.
There are conditions confronting
the country today that make it pos
sible, if not indeed more probable
than improbable, that Theodore
Roosevelt, the chosen issue of the De
mocracy, may not be the fighting
ground for either party. The meat
strike, for instance, has developed the
black shadow Of the trust remarkably
within a few days. The more prices
go up, the less the trust question will
down
No one doubts the unwilIingness of
both the Republican party and the
Democratic party to handle the trust
issue in anything more than the most
general theoretical terms. But. as be-
fore stated, parties are not the au-
thors and inishers Of their own fate.
The Republican party, by the ac-
ton Of Theodore Roosevelt. is al
ready committed IN a way TO a policy
Of action in the trust business. The
Democratic party has only a theory.
Wall Street is today more fearful Of
Republican rule than it is Of Demo-
cratic theory
II in his letter Of acceptance Theo-
dore Roosevelt stands by his guns a
new issue may Unexpectedly be in
jected into the campaign, an issue
which Will eliminate the personality
Of Theodore Roosevelt, the chosen
issue Of the Democracy, substituting
therefor far nobler and more es-
sential issue, the principles of Theo-
dOTe Roosevelt.
