A Safe Combination.

son. Thus, West African savages, who have long possessed unlimited supplies of palm toddy, the Jews, and the in habitants of the vine countries of the south of Europe are more temperate than the north Europeans and infinitely more temperate than most savages. Formerly. as history proves. they were less temperate. What is true of alco- hol Is true of opium. Thus, the natives of India, who have long used the drug, are very temperate; the Chinese, who have used 1t for two centuries, are less temperate; whereas, Burmans. Aus tralians and Polynesians, who have only lately made its acquaintance, are extremely intemperate.
 Obviously two methods of temper ance referm are conceivable-the re- formers method, the elimination of drinking and natures method. the elimination of the drunkard. The re- formers method has been tried by scores of governments, on hundreds of occasions, during thousands of years, and has never succeeded, except tempo rarily, among barbarous peoples. Among all modern peoples, dwelling under the ordinary conditions of civil- ized life, repressive measures, at any rate severely oppressive measures, not only fail, but worse than fail Vast numbers of people combine to break the law by all sorts of devices. Mod ern civilized society is so complex, means of intercommunication are so perfect the manufacture and sale of al- cohol are so easy and profitable, the de- sire to obtain it so fierce the freedom of the individual so great that an H. legal traffic is organized at once, which swiftly grows beyond the control of the authorities. Secret debauchery Is substituted for open drinking. The actual amount of drunkenness Is in- creased. The successful evasion of one law has for it's concomitant contempt for all law, which in turn is followed by a long train of attendant evils. If the society be at all highly organized. if the population be. dense, the means of communication goods and the govern ment democratic, the law Is soon re- pealed.
 These statements are very sweeping. but there is ample evidence to justify them.
 Natures method has invariably sue ceeded, but at the cost of terrible suf- ferings. It will succeed in spite of all we can do. 1t may be possible. how ever, to minimize the suffering by lim- iting the output of children of drunken parents-as by spreading abroad a knowledge of the danger of marrying

NATION APPROVES IT
WHOLE WORLD LOVES ROOSEVELT
 LONGwORTH LOVERS.
Former Weddings In the White House Are Recal1ed-The Nellie Grant-Sartoris Ceremony and Hitherto Unpublished
 Incident.
Washington Letter in Charleston News

Washington Letter in Charleston News
 and Courier.
 President and Mrs. Roosevelt, in an nouncing the engagement or their daughter, Alice, to Representative Nicholas Longworth, the priilent young Congressman from onlo, aoos another chapter to the romances or the historic White House.
 Weddings at the White House are of such rare occurrence than they are re- corded as great national events.
 The marriage of Miss Roosevelt ana MT. Longworth is to be soIemnizeo some time next February and it is place either in the east room or the blue parlor, the scenes of the very few weddings in the White House.
 All American approves the uniting of these distinguished families hy the bonds of matrimony, for a typica! American girl is to wed splendid type of young, intelligent and pros porous American gentlemen. The re nance of these two young people has not been a secret from their relatives and friends. hence no surprise Is caus- ed by the announcement of their en- Eagement.
 The coming marriage of President Roosevelt's daughter naturally recalls former weddings at the White House during the past fifty wears, notably the international marle ge of Nellie Grant and Algernon Sartoris, while Gen. Grant was President. Happily. the circumstances surrounding Nellie Grants wedding are not applicable to the courtship and the approacnlns nuptials of Miss Alice Roosevelt. The marriage of Miss Roosevelt. to MT Longworth is not only sanctioned by her devoted father. but it meets with the cordial approval of the whole ma tion. Such was not the case on Nellie Grants wedding day.
 In the East Room.
 It is understood that Miss Roosevelt is to be married in the east room and that the ceremony will be a brilliant function, surpassing any event of a similar nature in the annals of the White House. so far as social festivl- ties are concerned.
 There have been many alterations in

politIcnl ToIIettes in EnrIana.

The approach of general elections in England Is having a disturbing effect on feminine political society, says a London letter. Of late the women have been taking a more and more impor- taht part in all political campaigns, and are unusually successful in eiec- tioneering.
 Rows of carriages and motor cars stand outside the offices of the wow' ems political associations, which are all located in or near Victoria street, and there are no vacant places at the frequent committee meetings, where the political situation is eagerly dis nussed by feminine politicians,
 "A million and a half ladies hard at work" is the Primrose League testimo- ny to the efficiency of it's organization.
 Suriously enough electioneering toi- lettes are an important feature. Lon don modistes are busy with orders for motoring wraps and every minute that the F. Ms wives and helpers can spare from the daily council of war is taken up with trying on" new frocks. For women want votes not fer themselves, but for their husbands and fathers and brothers and others. and becoming clothes play fairly impor. tant part in the part of caioling tho hard-headed British voter.
 No little diplomacy Is required on
  these orders, for while the eleetion- eers want to be becomingly gowned, the wife of the British voter has we'll known objections to over-elaboratton and needless extravaganza in the mat ter of toilette.
 If the party colors can be ingenious ly introduced so much the better. Where blue Is the Liberal color, the wearing by a Liberal candidates wife of a blue coat and skirt and blue mo- toring veil will be taken as a delicate compliment to her husbands prospect i've constituents, and a touch of green in the hat to catch the very uncertain Irish vote is wise policy on the part of either Liberal or Conservative elee- tioneers.
 All these little points of sartorial etiquette have to be borne In mind by the modlste and when it Is remember ed that blue is the Tory color in ths South and the Liberal in the North, and that buff is Tory in the west and Lib-

 The Cost of Dressing.
 I heard a woman say the other oas that it took so much money Tn oraer .o be we'll dressed nowadays. Well, do you know don't agree with her at all,
 One of the best dressed women know has only one new street gown each winter. The woman who com plained that dress was so expensive has a dozen that know of, half or them carried over from last year and remodeled at great cost. She has nats' too. by the score. but none of them seems to ego" with any particular cos tune, and you are just as likely to see her with a purple hat, a brown dress and a seal skin muff. The trouble with this woman is that she buys reckless ly anything and everything that strikes her fancy just because it is pretty or becoming. She never stops to think with what she is going to wear the article in question.
 But the woman who has only one dress a season is much more careful in its selection. She waits until the styles have been well defined, and then she gets the smartest color combination to be found.
 This winter for instance, she has n black chiffon velvet costume. The dress is made in princess style, with q white yoke, and the little short jacket is shirred horizontally and ends trife above the waist line. With this she wears a small ermine tippet and fiat muff Her hat is of black velvet, trim med with white tips.

crowd in the east room to witness the ceremony. So intense was the interest in the proceedings that the guards failed to observe the precocious small boys crowding and crawling their way into the brilliantly lighted apartment, where the Presidents daughter was being married. Some of the boys, in their endeavor to obtain closer view of the bridAl party, while lodging the legs of the uniformed officials, got tangled up with the side arms and other military accoutrements and re- ceived in return indignant pushes and kicks, accompanied by growls at the White House functionaries for allow ing a lot of dirty little urchins" to be present on such gorgeous occa- sion.
