Corporations in Politics.
From tho cedsr Rapids Gazett

Alton b. Parker is apparently
shocked at the proof Of his suspicious
that the corporations bought the de-
feat Of w. j. Bryan. There were
others who had the same suspicion,
and who mentioned the matter before
Judge Parker had called it to the at
tention of the public. As the case
is remembered at this time, Presi-
dent Ingalls, of the Big Four railway
system was the only corporation
democrat Of prominence who adher-
ed to the cause of Bryan and who
publicly declared himself in favor Of
the election of the Newbraskan.
Mccall, Belmont, Morgan, Morton,
Bear and others Of their stripe have
been democrats" for the same rea-
son that Depew, Rockefeller, Wander
bilt, Rogers and others have been
republicans" They have not had
belief in any principle endorsed by
ei,he: party. The greatest belief
they have had in any party has at
tached to departures from principle.
They have not sought laws founded
on justice. Their use for law has
been in connection with statutes
that would allow them to impose on
others and to commit moral crimes
without encountering The possibility
of punishment. They may have be-
lieved in laws for the punishment OF
horse thieves and incendiaries who
burn grain stacks, because they were
not engaged in either line Of bust
ness. They do not believe in any
law that makes it as much of crime
to steal a million dollars as it is to
steal fifty cents. They would never
support for Office any man who
holds that it is as great wrong TO
steal all the money Of the widow, or
phan or other investor, as it is for
the widow or orphan to steal a loaf
of bread from the well filled shelf of
a bakery. That is not their style OF
justice.
Their division between republicans
and democrats was arranged among
themselves for the purpose of con-
trolling both parties and until Bryan
and Roosevelt came upon the scene
their scheme worked very we'll. They
elected Cleveland as much as they
elected any president. Their money
paid for his election, and he saw to
1t that the money of the people re-
imbursed them for the temporary
loan. They created Eckles, and
paid the expenses of 1.-The gold stand
ard" democratic campaign of Palmer
and Buckner. They nominated
this latter ticket, but they took no
chance by voting for it. They in
vented the "honor among nations"
hurrah, and they put forward the
.pi,hets Of. repudiator, anarchist,
coppsrhead and others, applying
hem to men with whom they are un-
fit to associate. AS a matter of fact,
hese frenzied financiers are not fit
to do the most lnenial work around
the farm of William j. Bryan, SO
'ong as men can be hired for the
discharge Of the duties. The truth
comes out in time, and as these east
rn iinanciers diminish in the public
we it is natural that the men they
opposed should increase.

A BAD comnlexiou.

A bad complexion is often due to
malnutrition. Matters will be improved
If a glass Of either hot or cold water
be slipped on waking and an hour be-
fore each meal. This washes away the
mucus from the lining of the stomach
and the food is absorbed in conse-
quence. Plenty Of milk and some of
the well known prepared foods should
be taken. A small quantity of meat
will suffice, with plenty of stewed
fruit and vegetables. An apple at
breakfast will help the good cause.

"a lady is known by her shoes and
by her gloves" This is saying that
has stood the test Of years. Every
thing depends on the way the glove is
put on the first time. The glove which
is once put on crooked can never be
Strengthened. No one but the woman
who is by nature tidy realizes how
much longer gloves will last If they
sare carefully removed and cleaned and
nended. Gloves should always be
pulled out first by the finger tips and
wrists and put away in tissue paper.

The woman who has wept until her
eyelids and her nose are purple, her
eyes bloodshot and her face swollen
always feels trife embarrassed when
she has to receive callers or go down
to dinner Immediately. She frequent
ly makes bad matter worse by wash
ing her face In cold water. If she will,
instead, bathe 1t gently with rose
water for few minutes and then lie
down for few more with soft rag
saturated in rose water over her eyes
she will be prepared to face any com.
pany.

SHAW Steps in the Mud.

There are indications-not wholly
displeasing- Mr.. George Bernard
Shaw, essayist. playwright, and icon
oclast, Is overacting a role written
for his own performance. He started
out to attract attention-and sue
ceeded. Without intention, it is in
ferred, he is in fair way to excite
disgust. Indeed, he wakes tiresome.
It is obvious the social evils against
which some of the Shaw dramas in
Weigh provide vital dramatic material
and that in their stage discussion,
within such limits as decency has
set, there is hope Of a sensible re-
form. It IS true some morals can be
enforced from the stage with a de-
gree of clarity and force impossible
of attainment by other means. It
is apparent that too often Snug re-
spectabillty closes its eyes 10 char
acter and contents itself with a pipe
clayed and inyentOried reputation.
All these are truisms. They have
been said so often that they gain
nothing by their reiteration as the
logical foundation of the Shaw pro-
paganda. The danger Is that We per
NIT ourselves to be led away from
these safe premises TO conclusions
unwarranted in morals and un-
founded in fact. The danger is more
pressing and acute because Of the
lurking devil of the Shaw personality
and the delight he feels in watching
mere man sQuirm on the pointed
trident of his wit To enjoy that rare
delight he seems content that logic
shall be left behind and the element

the wandering dictates of their own
sweet will. We laugh-with only a

Superintendent of Schools A. T Stuart
expressed himself as fearful OF the ex-
tent of the habit and asked for the
support Of the public and especially
of parents in the crusade against the
evil. He said:
'sTha attention and cooperation Of the
pareuts is the thing 10 be sought in our
night against smoking in the graded
schools Although the cases which come

habit exists 10 an alarming degree, and
