Cost of Elections.

Politics is an expensive game. Can didates have been known to lose money and the voter is always expected to do his share Even the legitimate "sinews of war" reach no inconsider- able figure in these days of great achievements. The business of elect ing men to office has grown in keeping with the expansion of the country un- til now a national election means a period of strenuous endeavor, the ex- penditure of large sums of money and the employment of the best strategy of the ablest political leaders of the na- tion. It is a far step from the con- paratively simple procedure by which Washington and Jefferson were placed in office to the great political battles of our day.
 The republican national committee spent $1,S0OOOO to elect Theodore hoosevelt President in 1904. The fund of the committee in 1900 was $2,S0O.- GOO; in 1886 it was $3,SO0,000; in 1892, $4100,000. Very little remains in the coners after campaign is ended, so one may say that these sums were paid out by the republicans during  the years mentioned
 To give one an idea of the itemized expenditures, the following list, con- piled by the Cincinnati Enquirer, will be of interest: State committees paid in 1904, $700,000; for literature, $55O,- OO0; for maintaining speakers bureau, s175,0OO; for Autographs, advertising and other forms of publicity. $150,O0O; salaries and expenses at headquarters,

ARTISTS MODELS SCARCE.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Artists models In New York seem to be unlike their sisters. the chorus girls in one detail at least. They object to pub 1icity. It has never been known to help them and very often 1t hurts. Artists were suddenly confronted with the fact tha. 1t was almost an impossibility to secure interesting and refined types as models. and for proof of this one had only to visit the exhibitions, especially those represent ing students work. Many of the studies portrayed anything but refined types of women. This was the rule and not the exception. Of course. it is well known fact, and perhaps a fortunate one, that New York has no equivalent for the Latin Quarter" and there are no colonies of professional models here as in Paris and Rome. Painters for this reason often have great difficulty in procuring good models, and it is a pure game of chance at that. Taking into consideration the needs of the girls who find 1t necessary to pose, and the needs of the artists, too, thcre was organized In New York sev- eral years ago the Art Workers Club for Women. The sole object of this club was to establish more of a mutual sympathy between artists and models as well as to dignify the profession of posing and put 1t on a recognized basis.

Good Dog Story.

"I have story about the sense of dog which I think is rather new and as this is the hunting season, it seems appro- priate now" said a young sportsman yes terday. Several years ago l owned ah old bird dog that had been hunted for years. I never hesitated to lend him to any of my friends, for I knew that the dog had more sense than most of them.
 That dog was the best judge of a hunter I have ever seen. He could tell in. half an hour whether a man was any good, and he never failed. If the dog stayed all day with the fellow 1 knew that he was something of a hunter, but if the dog came trotting back by himself early in the day I knew. that the hunts man could not hit barn door.
 "The dog would flush birds two or three times and if the hunter failed to get them, that dog would quit right away and come home. No amount of beating would make him stay with a bad shot. On the other hand if the sportsman was good shot and killed a good average, the dog would stay with him as long as he could stand on his feet. He was one of the best dogs I have ever hunted over, and his only fault was that he was too good judge of a hunter. He quit me more than one time and trotted home."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-12-06
The Presidents Message.

The message which President Roose- welt sent to Congress yesterday Is an unusually voluminous paper. The Pres ident discusses many questions of great public interest and sets forth his ideas with characteristic force and clearness.
 MT. Roosevelt is always direct. Whether his views be accepted as right or wrong, no one ever accused him of any lack of spirit or moral courage. A large part of the message is de- voted to the question of railroad rate supervision. The President urges Con- gress to create commission with af firmative powers to regulate freight rates. According to his ideas, the com mission should not initiate rates, but act as a court of appeal, and decide whether a rate is reasonable. and if not reasonable, to fix a maximum rate, with heavy penalty for it's non-en- forcement. It is also recommended that rebates be abolished. The Prest dent thinks there should. be publicity 1 in the business of common carriers engaged in interstate commerce, and a system of examination by government olAcials similar to the methods in ex- amining national banks.
 Congress is asked to consider the ad- visibility of government supervision of life insurance companies. An i'm mediate appropriation for carrying on ! the work of constructing the Panama canal is urged. Attention Is called to the need of immigration, especially for the south, the only standard for ad- hitting foreigners needed, according to the President, beingftness for American citizenship. The President thinks the tune has come for the United States government to care for the graves of the Confederate dead.
 after reviewing the so-called Monroe doctrine, the message recommends the ratification of the San Domingo treaty. Among the other matters touched on are the corruption in elections, the army, the navy, the civil service and various departmental reforms.
 Congress will act on several of the Presidents recommendations, but the greater number will hardly be reached in this session. The measure which will provoke the liveliest debate will be that regarding the control of rail road rates.

THE GOSPEL OF FLANNEL
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

Now as to the great gospel of flannel. Let us clearly understand that t1is in dispensable character of any garment worn next the skin is that 1t be absor- bent. It does not matter where the warm that is, badly conducting-layer is placed so long as the layer next the skin is ab- sorbent. This property depends not upon the material but upon its texture; and wool may be woven into non-absorbent form, while other fabrics may be woven into perfectly absorbent forms; different makes of cotton wool vary widely In this regard. as every surgeon knows. There are flannel garments which are tota C. unfitted for wearing next the skin or anywhere else, since they are almost as incapable of absorbing moisture or of per- hitting ventilation as in India rubber These facts are beginning to be recog- nized and I could name quite a dozen firms which now make a point of supply ing linen silk and cotton under garments which are perfectly absorbent and far more comfortable than wool to sensitive skins. Cricketers. too, are learning right ly to appraise the virtues of flannel. and nowadays one sees relatively few flannel shirts in the field, their place being taken by lightly woven and often perfosa tad linen or cotton shirts. which are better in every respect.
