New York's Shifting Vote.

New York newspapers are giving
much attention nowadays TO the de-
crease of the voting Importance Of
Manhattan borough. 1t is, in fact, a
matter of very large national con-
Germ. for Manhattan borough has
more than once determined whether
one party or the other should elect
its Presidential candidate.
1t is explained that the outlying
sections of New York city are getting
more and more to be the residence
regions. while Manhattan is in like
proportion becoming the metropolitan
section, where people go for their
business, but where they don't stay
TO vote and live From the beginning
of the last century TO 1850 Manhattan
grew more than the territory which
now constitutes the other boroughs;
but from 1850 10 1890. Manhattan
grew only 259 per cent, while the
other territory grew 7S1 per cent.
Manhattan, in the downtown region,
is losing population rapidly. because
residences are being torn out TO make
room for terminals, depots, business
houses, etc. By 1908, il is calculated,
the other boroughs will have total
population greater than that Of Man
haitian.
Assuming, then, that political con-
ditions in the boroughs shall remain
much as now, there will be three
great determining factors in the
politics of the Empire State: The vote
of the country, the vote of Manhattan
and the vote of the outlying boroughs
Manhattan has always been the great
Democratic stronghold; the other re-
gions are much closer, politically. In
all probability, they will remain so
for they will hardly be brought un'
der so careful organization as Man
haitian has been by the influences ant
interests that made 1t so strongly
Democratic.
Ii is, therefore, interesting 10 con
slider what effect this may have Oh
Presidential contests in future. Tn

lican: Manhattan, Overwhelming.

Cooperation in the Home.

To what extent is co operation
among housekeepers possible without
depriying the home of the distinctly
individual character that is recogniz-
ed as absolutely necessary to il?
This question is suggested by the
announced organization of the Wo-
mans National Household Alliance,
which proposes to help settle the
problems OF domestic service, indi-
vidual marketing, cooking, sewing.
mending, etc. 1t is promised that
when organization is perfected CO.
operation in a great many directions
will result in large economy, be-
sides getting better service for the
family.
1t is often pointed out, as evidence
of the superiority of the masculine
over the feminine mind, that while
men have organized, specialized, and
systematized their business methods
until unit of labor is score of
times more valuable, measured by
units of wealth produced, women
have somehow failed to adapt such
methods to their side of the problem
of life. The man of today works half
the hours that HIS grandfather did,
while his wife. if she does her own
housework-and most women do
works about as many hours as her
Grandmother did. Men are wont to
| boast that if the household duties had
been their particular affair their inyen-
tive and organizing faculty would long
since have invented better and easier
| and more economical methods, just as
they have applied labor-saving meth
DDS to the rest of the worlds work.
And when they are reminded that
after all there has been great progress
toward specializing and Tightening
womans work, and that she nc
longer cards and spins and weaves
as she used TO do, the mans reply
is that he, not she, invented the ma.

A Do Nothing SESSION.

Is Congress to hold another do
nothing session? Up to this time,
general belief has been that the ap-
preaching session would be marked
by much legislation of first impor-
lance. One great reason for this be-
lief has been the knowledge that
President Roosevelt will back GER
tain measures strongly in his mes
sage.
However, the large financial inter-
ests, always deeply concerned and
always alert, are not expecting much
weighty legislation. Light on this
subject is shed by the last monthly
circular of the National City Bank Of
New York. Frank A. Vanderlip, for
mer Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, now connected with the National
City, is credited with editing the cir
cular. The following prediction is
made: S
In well-informed quarters, it is in
timated that the next Congress will
have little to do except to pass the
usual appropriation bills, the elimi-
nation of tariff and financial prob
lens leaving only the question of
railroad legislation for consideration.
AS TO this feature, it is most likely the
Executive will be insistent. But so
far as Congress is concerned, it is
doubtful if a subject so complex can
be disposed of at a single session
with the depository banks hold
ing above $50 600, 900 public funds,
available always for immediate APP
preparation, with $50 100000 in Treas
ury vaults, and public revenues look
ing up strikingly, agitation involving
tariff changes or additional revenue
legislation will be put aside
The plain meaning of this is that
the leaders of the Senate have theil
program mapped out, and that 1T in
cludes the usual routine and little ad
ditional. Tariff revision talk vii
