Political differences are lost sight
of among the 'emancipated women"
as far as President Roosevelt and ex-
President Cleveland are concerned,
says the Boston Pilot. Both gentle
men are equally under the ban as well
known advocates of large families and
of the home as the happiest and most
promising sphere of feminine activity.
It's none or his business" say these
ladies, when the President opposes
race-suicide. Il have heard of fam
lilies that starved because the father
went fishing all the time" says the
president of the Missouri Federation
of Women's Clubs, in protest against
Mr. Cleveland's old-fashioned ideas.
Yet, are there many women, even
among the most radical opponents of
the natural order, who do not see the
absurdity of the points most en-
phasized in "a Woman's View of Di-
vorce" in last weeks Public Opinion!
For example: "a modern woman can
no more content herself with marriage
as a profession-plus housework-
than could modern man. Marriage
is status-not trade. Housework
is trade; or rather several trades
and these trades should be- performed
by the professionals to whom they be-
long" The writer wakes scornful at
those who make of womanhood a
chronic remuneration, and the condi
lions under which some of "our finest
women" find their dearly loved and
hard-won professions incompatible
with marriage, and therefore give up
the latter for the sake Of their art
or their business, or some cause. But
what of the more numerous women
who cheerfully desert causes or pro
fessions at the first chance of fairly
promising marriage? And does true
manhood know nothing of renuncia
ton?

Graduation DAYS.

With the fair summer days comes
the annual closing of the schools and
the annual crop of graduates, says the
San Francisco Leader. The somewhat
arrogant young man, with his high
blown oratory and his sheepsk1n, and
the sweet young woman, with her flow
ers and her pretty dress, and her i'm
possible essay, seem as natural in June
as firet1ies in less happy lands. We
welcome them into the midst of life,
and at the same time we sympathize.
They are going to receive some fear
full packages in the shape of second
hand advice. They will be told that
commencement means beginning, and
that, therefore, they have not finished
their schooling, but are just about to
begin; that they are merely leaving
the kindergarten of high school or col
lege and matriculating into the great
university of the world; that the world
is the only real school, and that alb
true knowledge must be acquired in it
by hard knocks and kicks in the shins..
This ancient wisdom, and a multitu-
dinous variety of it, will be inflicted
by men who never went much to
school themselves, and made mighty
poor use of their time. 1t will be Inn
parted in hating sentences and am
biguous grammar by sages who con-
s;der money-grabbing the only bust
ness of life, and despise an education
that has not a negotiable value in hard
cash.
We sympathize with the graduates
But let them not be discouraged or
dismayed by the elders who assume to
have drunk wisdom at some mysteri-
Gus fountains. If the graduates have
been true to themselves and their
schools, they have acquired more use
full and more ennobling knowledge in
these few years than they will ever &C.
quire again in the same space of time.
Unfortunately, they will forget much
of it with the passing years, but they
will never entirely lose the mental
training and agility which a good
school education is certain to impart.
Let them be grateful to their teach
ers. OF all professions, teaching is the
most thankless and the least remuner-
alive. Yet, our young graduates will
meet no better friends in life than the
conscientious and capable men and
women who helped to educate them,
Thank God, we have many such teach
ers in our Catholic schools

The possibility of war between
Sweden and Norway offers the experts
to back the winners. When it comes
to the questions of war and interna-
tional law and such other simple
questions we are all experts. About
as sane reason as we have heard
expressed on the war question for
some time is as follows: In an argu-
ment between partisan of Sweden
on the one hand and partisan of Nor
way on the other, Norways champion
positively asserted that Norway could
not help but win, and gave as a reason
for such assurance the fact that all
the Swedes were in this country. We
can scarcely agree with this partisan
for there are some sections of this
state where one would be led to the
belief that all the Norwegians are in
this country. So the question is still
open for other experts.

A Question that Troubled Him.-A
Biddeford man, who had been looking
on the wine when it was red, was
making serpentine effort to reach
his home about midnight, when a
friend, seeing his plight, volunteered
to help him. The Good Samaritan
saw his charge safely home, and just
as he was leaving the tipsy fellow
asked:
"Whash yo' name?"

quantity that can be counted upon Ia

day out. What is true in national
way is true in our state and local pol.
itics. For fifty years the Irish voters
Of Minnesota have supported Dem
ocratic tickets without any hope in
most cases of election. The spirit of
! loyalty has been strong enough to hold
these men in line. No victories re-
| warded these efforts until within the
last few years. No victories meant
no reward for any party workers. 1t
was when the party succeeded in the
state that the supreme test of leader.
ship came. Fortunately the first state
leader who brought victory to the party
was man big enough and able enough
to solve the delicate problems confront
ing him. The Democrats at that time
learned that they could occasionally
win in Minnesota. AS result of
that discovery there grew up in this
state, too, the inso1ent Democratic
bosses who assume that they are able
to build up a party. These men are
not only insolent but they are intel
lectually so small calibred that they
have not been even temporarily sue
cessful as have been the Democratic
bosses of the East. These would-be
Democratic bosses in Minnesota are
also assuming that the Irish vote is
all right. They have evidently come
to the conclusion that it is not even
necessary to keep faith with those
who for more than fifty years have
borne the brunt of battle.
We wish to warn these so-called lead
ers that they are making false az.
sumption and in so doing are per-
petrating great injury upon the Dem
ocratic party in this state. Up to the
present time the Irish voters of Min
nesota have been almost a unit for
Democratic candidates. Even at the
last election when there was such a
general breaking away in the East the
Irish in Minnesota remained steadfast,
particularly on the state and local tick
cts. Do the Democratic bosses be-
lieve that they will continue to do so
in the future no matter what treat
ment is accorded them? If the
bosses believe that they are doomed to
disappointment. We believe that our
people are going to be more and more
independent and that it is no longer
possible to count upon them as safely
Democrats. We are glad that such is
the fact, but sorry that the causes
exist which superinduced that condi-
ton of independence. We would
rather feel that conditions were such
that the Irish might still further in
dulge in that other trait of their char
acter and remain indefinitely loyal to
the Democratic party. We love it's
traditions and its past great leaders.
We believe that it's fundamental prin-
ciples are right and will continue to
be beacon light for the party to fol-
low. We have, however, no patience
with those little fellows who have
started up here and there in late years
and who, without any ability for lead
ership, are now assuming to direct the
affairs of the party in this state and
elsewhere.

Swedes and Norwegians are closely
related in blood, language, religion

nationality is too strong even under
such conditions to lie dormant. The
Irish claim no relation in blood or

much more reason is there for Ireland
to demand self government?

Fred BALDWIN IS
OPERATED UPON

A cablegram was received on Thurs
day stating that Fred Baldwin had
been operated on by DR.. Bull in New
York for peritonitis. The message
was from his brother Arthur and stat
ed that Frank and Sam Baldwin were
also in New York. On Friday a mes
sage came saying that Fred had slight
ly improved, but Saturday 1t was
learned that his condition was very
critical and that the crisis would come
in the next twenty-four hours. 1t was
learned also that the peritonitis was
due to appendicitis, the appendicitis
having ruptured. None OF the circum-
stances leading up to his illness are
known. Mr.. Baldwin left here with
his brothers early in September, after
the polo games, with the intention of
spending his two months vacation in
the East.

the facts and he made out the affi-
davit."
The examination then came back to
the management of the Ranch The
witness had not objected to Carter's
mismanagement because he was not
ready to face a partition suit. He adj
mitted, however that he had given no
notice of dissatisfaction with Carter,
and admitted that he had praised Car
ter's management, though he would not
say that he had done so "many times
With regard to Fred Carter, whom
the witness had suggested as manager,
Kinney claimed that the witness was
trying to give the impression that he
was a last resort, and read a letter
in which Parker urged the appoint
ment before Won Tempsky had been
heard from. Here again the witness
had failed to give notice of his change
of heart, except as embodied In sug-
gestions regarding the details of the
ranch. Parker admitted that he had
agreed in June. 1908, to raise Fred Car
ter's salary $50 a month, but said 1t
was because he had a wife and family
Referring again to the Anticipated
methods in vogue on the ranch when
Carter took hold, Kinney, after a lit
tie sparring, obtained an admission
from the witness that, all things con-
sidered, Carter had made reasonable
progress during his administration to-
ward getting the place on a modern
basis.
The purchase of Waikoloa was then
taken up, but here the witnesses men,
Dry failed. Kinney detailed long and
circumstantial conversations and in
terviews without ellciting anything
more satisfactory than, IT don't re-
member anything about that"
/ When Kinney closed, Parker evinced
such eagerness to leave the chair that
Magoon cut out the redirect examina-
ton and called Lightfoot to the stand
Lightfoot began with a remarkable
scene in Magoon's Office with ]. l.
Low and McCrosson urging Magoon to
bring suit to force Carter to sell Pa
auhau. and Magoon warning his cli-
ents that they were all on the road
to jail, but finally concluding to take
his chances IL he saw thousand dol
lars In sight.
The witness then took up his visit
to the Parker Ranch on the occasion
that Eben Low went up to demand
possession, and when the court ad-
journed was giving a highly realistic
account Of branding at the waimea
pen as seen from a safe seat on a high

The examination of sam Parker came
to close yesterday, and Attorney
Lightfoot was called to the stand on
behalf of the petitioner The day was
full of interest except when Parker's
memory failed on the question of Wal
koloa and he returned long series OF
IT don't remember" to Kinney's ques-
tions.
The cross-examination was first di-
rected to the important question of the
witnesses connection with the removal
proceedings before the suit was
brought The charge was directly made
that Parker's affidavit previously filed
involved material Misrepresentation
and concealment, but the witness
claimed that it was Magoon and not
he who had drawn the affidavit, and
that Magoon should answer for it.
The witness testified that he had
heard that the suit was going to be
brought before his promise to stand for
the thousand dollar fee. 1t was two
or three months later before he heard
that John Hind had also agreed to
bear a part of the expense and that
ndu COHStHtcu that y. Low
should act as next friend on account
of his relationship to the family.
IT didn't ask him to bring this suit"
said the witness, and Kinney became
deeply interested. According to the
next question it appeared that the de-
Tense was still looking for the man
who fathered the suit. Kinney remind
ed the witness that Wundenberg had
protested that 1t had been brought
against his advice, that Magoon had
consented with the utmost reluctance
to act as attorney, that ]. s. Low had
never thought enough of 1t to put up
or promise a cent, and that with the
witnesses disclaimer there was no one
in sight who had really urged the suit
to be brought The witness was unable
to throw any light on the situation and
the mystery remained unsolved.
