A Republican House.

The main reason why there is any
doubt as to the political complexion of
the next House of Representatives is
that the Republicans of the country at
large are so full of jaunty confidence
that they may fail to put forth the or
ganized effort necessary to guard at all
points the interests Of the party in the
pending campaign. The boom for Par
ker has fattened out. 1t is as GER
tain as any political event which is
still in the future can be that President
Roosevelt will be elected. So strong is
the feeling OF assurance on this point
that the work of rallying voters which
has usually been in progress at this
stage Of previous campaigns is widely
neglected. In the congressional cam
paign there are advantages with the
Republicans. They have a majority in
the present House, and where local
conditions are not abnormal they will
more than hold their own, by reason of
the general tone of public sentiment
being Republican. There are several
districts that went Democratic two
years ago and that seem certain to 90
Republican next November. Ofsetting
these encouraging circumstances are
the existence of abnormal local condi-
tons at many points and the lethargic
attitude of the Republican working
forces.
Even If the Democrats were to se-

Our opponents can criticise what we did
in Panama only on condition OF misstat-
ing what was done. The administration
behaved throughout not only with good
faith, but with extraordinary patience
and large generosity toward those with
whom 1t dealt. 1t was also mindful of
American interests. It acted in strict
compliance with the law passed by Con-
gress.
Our Foreign Policy.
Similar misrepresentation is the one
weapon Of our opponents in regard to our
foreign policy and the way the navy has
been made useful in carrying out this
policy. Here again all that we ask Is
that they truthfully state what has been
done and then say whether or not they
object to it, for if continued in power we
shall continue our foreign policy and our
handling of the navy on exactly the same
lines in the future as in the past.
In carrying out this policy it has set
tied dispute after dispute by arbitration
or by friendly agreement. 1t has be-
haved toward all nations, strong or weak.

Do our opponents object to the settle

Do they object to the fact that after
freeing Cuba we gave her reciprocal
trade advantages with the United States.

against its sinking into chaos or being
conquered by any foreign power?

PRINTED NETS.

The exquisite printed nets are used
with good effect in combination with
plain Brussels nets. Inset with wavy
lines of lace, and between lace medal
lions, the printed net looks almost like
painted lace. A net gown of deep
cream color had an accordion-plaited
founce nished with a net ruche out
lined with narrowest black velvet.
Above the flounce was an inset design
of cream lace, with the intervals
filled in with net printed with pink
roses and green leaves. There was
not much of the printed net used. and
wherever it appeared there was a
touch of black velvet ribbon in the
form of little knots or bows to make
the contrast less striking. The waist
had deep yoke and the front piece
of the lace and net, mass of hand

confronted the American people in the last
decade our opponents take the position
that silence Is the best possible way to con-
vey their views.
-
To say that action against trusts and
monopolies should be limited to the appli-
cation of the common law is equivalent to
saying that the national government should
take no action whatever to regulate them.
-.
Undoubtedly 1t would be possible at the
present time to prevent any of the trusts
from remaining prosperous by the simple
expedient of making such a sweeping
change in the tariff as to paralyze the in
dustries Of the country. The trusts would
cease to prosper, but their smaller COM
petitors would be ruined and the wage
workers would starve, while Ii would not
pay the farmer TO haul his produce to mar
ket.
The expenditures Of the nation have been
managed In a spirit of economy as far re-
and in the future every effort will be con-
tinued to secure an economy as strict as Is
consistent with efficiency.

So far from having slapped the founda-
lions" Of free popular government at home
by the course taken In the Philippines, we
have been spreading its knowledge and
teaching its practice among the peoples to
whom 1T had never before been more than
an empty name.
At no time in the history of this or any
other country has there been an era so pro-
ductive of material benefit alike to work
ingmen and employer, as during the seven
years that have just passed.

ABOUT RHUBARB.

Here is an English recipe for cook
ing rhubarb, the familiar old pie
the first of the kindly fruits of the
earth to appear in the spring. Stew
until tender in orange juice, with the
grated peel of lemon, small tea
spoonful of powdered ginger, half q
teaspoonful of cinnamon and six
cloves, the recipe runs. Then pour
into a glass dish, allow to cool, top
with whipped cream-and you have a
sweet for the gods, according to The
Gentlewoman." Perhaps But where
does the rhubarb come in? Just stew

DO the Best Thing.

Every man wants to do the best he
may for his country. Do you think 1t
best for your country at this time to
try an experiment that has failed in
Great Britain, that has been discarded
by nearly all the great European pow
ers and that proved such dismal fail
ure when practiced, even to a small
extent, by the United States?
1t is for you to decide and decide
now. If you make a mistake you will
have to bear the burden, you will have
to shoulder the responsibility. You are
certain that under the policy inaugu-
rated by the Republican party the
country has prospered, but you are
doubtful what fare the Inauguration
Of Democratic policies might bring

1t is difficult to find out from the utter
ances Of our opponents what are the real
issues upon which they propose to wage
this campaign. 1t is not unfair to say
that, having abandoned most of the iprin-
ciples upon which they have insisted dur
ing the last eight years, they now seem at
a loss, both as to what Ii Is that they real
ly believe and as to how firmly they shall
assert their belief in anything. In fact, 1t
Is doubtful IL they venture resolutely to
press single Issue; as soon as they raise
one they shrink from 1t and seek to explain
il away. Such an attitude Is the probably
Inevitable result Of the effort to improvise
convictions; for when thus improvised 1t Is
natural that they should be held In ten
tative manner.
There is not n policy, foreign domes-
tic, which we are now carrying out which
1t would not be disastrous to reverse or
abandon.
We base our appeal upon what we have
ministration and legislation during the last
seven years, in which we have had COM
plete control Of the government.

RECEIPTS.

Anchovy Sandwfches.-In making
anchovy sandwiches have some may
onnaise, add to it some chopped
chipes and a few capers, spread the
bread with this and lay the anchoves
on after cutting them into small bits.
Or there is always the anchovy paste,
which may be mixed with butter on
with mayonaise or otherwise expand
ed and improved in order to make it
a suitable sandwich filling.
Cavaire Sandwiches. = Speaking of
anchoves, it is natural to let the sub
ject glide to cavaire, since those who
like one will like the other. And
cavaire to be used in sandwiches
needs ninety-nine times out of a nun
dred to have with it onion juice, lemon
juice and black pepper to have it make
the best impression. Then undertake
such variations as you see fit in its
further favoring. Eggs boiled hard
and chopped blend we'll with it and
will modify its richness.
Egg Sandwiches.-Egg sandwiches,
as rule, are poor, pale, colorless
things, and for the simple reason
that they do not have enough savoring
in the making A plentiful sprink-
ling of chopped watercress, for in
stance, tones an egg sandwich up to
a plane where it can almost be called
piquant
Sardine Notwithstanding sar-
dine sandwiches iG a trick as old as
the fish themselves, yet every year
we seem to learn of something new
to be added to them to bring them up
to date. This years contribution to
the literature on the subject consists
of the suggestion that thick cream be
added to the sardines after they have
been wiped and skinned, and then the
whole pounded to paste. This paste
to be seasoned with either some
French mustard or curry. OF course
it is rich compound, but whoever
saw one in a sandwich good for any
thing that was not? So don't avoid it
on that account. Just try it.
Cantaloupe Pickles.-Take ripe can
taloupe, and after pairing them cut
them into slices about one inch thick,
and for five pounds of melon make
syrup of two and half pounds Of
sugar and one pint of vinegar, with
spices Cinnamon, cloves and mace
are generally preferred. Tie the spices
in thin muslin bag. put in the melon
and let It cook slowly three or four
hours, or until it becomes clear. Then
take out the melon and boil the syrup
until it becomes quite thick; then
pour it over the melon and seal up in
glass jars.
Corn Chowder-Cut two-inch cube
of fat salt pork into small pieces and
try out; add a small onion, sliced,
and cook slowly for two minutes, stir
ring often TO keep it from browning,
then strain the fat into saucepan.
Cook pint of sliced raw potatoes for
five minutes, in boiling water to
cover. drain and add to the fat Add
also a pint of raw sweet corn cut or
scraped from the ear, half teaspoon
full Of salt, a saltspoonful Of pepper,
and boiling water to cover. Simmer
until both potatoes and corn are ten
der.
Scrambled Eggs.-Beat six eggs
slightly, add one-quarter level tea
spoon Of salt, three4uarters cup Of
milk, and stir together. Melt three
level tablespoons of butter in an omr
elet pan; pour in the eggs and stir
constantly with fork until they have
cooked creamy. Serve at once with
buttered toast. This rule = enough
to serve four.

USE OF MEDICINE DRoPPER.

A medicine dropper as an adjunct to

inspiration of a housewife not long
ago. Every one who ever tried to
make mayunnaise knows the bother of
adding the oil slowly, drop by drop,
until the dressing is thick enough.
This woman experienced the same
difficulty and met it with the medicine
dropper, which adds the oil with ma
chinelike regularity and precision.
