Republican news item. [volume] (Laport, Pa.) 1896-19??, 1905-08-31

Of the Prohibi,lGA state convention
were not anticipated, and the large voto
polled against his nomination was q
complete surprise to the fusion crowd
Since the adjournment of the Will
Transport convention, hundreds of the
most prominent and influential Prohibit
tionists in the state have publicly de-
clared that they will not vote for Berry
for state treasurer, and others have
gone so far as to announce that this
YER they are going to vote the full
Republican ticket
Berry's Coat of Many CoIors.
They say they have not renounced
the cause of Prohibition, but they
look upon Berry as an off1ce-seeking
jobber who has successfully es-
poused the cause of free a yer, Bryan
ism, free trade, Pcrkerisin, and now
is Prohibitionist, and no one knows
what next he will advocate in order to
land in fat state office. A large ma
jority of Prohibitionists of Pennsyl-
vania sympathize with RepublicaniSm,
aside from their views on the prohibit
tion of the liquor traffic. If they can
not get sincere and loyal Prohibition
lists to vote for, the chances are that
they will support the Republican nom
inees
There has been much Indignation
expressed at the manipulations:b the
Democratic and insurgent Republican
leaders which resulted in the indorse-
ment of Berry at Williamsport and
the returns at the coming election are
bound to show a falling off of the Pro-
hibition vote for the candidate for
state treasurer.
Meanwhile, with the Democrats and
the Prohibitionists at odds over the
selection of Berry, the Republicans
the state are supporting
their candidate for state treasurer,
j. Lee Plummer, with enthusiasm, and
his election by an overwhelming ma
jority is confidently predicted by
State Chairman Andrews.

The Philadelphia Press says: With
one accord the newspapers of the
state are printing the acts of the
legislature at its late session prohib-
iting the throwing of any kind of
refuse upon the streets of any city,
borough or township. 1t is Il good
law, but, like many other good laws,
very little attention has been paid to
it. People do not care about Il law
that is not enforced. The news
papers will make this act familiar in
most places, but if the authorities
do not act it will have small effect.

"A woman is never displeased If we
please several other women, provided
she is preferred. 1t Is so many more
triumphs for her."-Ninon de rEnclos.
Yet woman's jealousy is as moonlight
unto sunlight in comparison with mans.
Every man. in fact. is more or less
jealous of the whole sex. Max O'Rell
tells story in point which every man
can duplicate in his own experience:
81 remember, few years ago, greatly
admiring a beautiful American girl.
daughter of a great friend of mine.
When, the following year, l went to
America again she introduced me TO
her husband. Did 7 admire that girl?
Yes. immensely. Did I love her? Ger
tainly not. Yet my first impulse was
to knock down her husband. That is
all L mean by saying that very Few
men are strict monogamists.
Another moral may be gathered from

and welded it to the italian para
phrase:
La donna mobile.
Rochefoucauld has two famous max
inns on coquettes:
"Coquettes are the quacks of love"
THE greatest miracle of love is the
reformation of coquette."
"A coouette," says A. Dumas. lis one
who draws a check on the bank of
affection when she has no deposit"
"a coquette," says Antoine Dupuy,
lis more occupied with the homage we
refuse her than with what we bestow
upon her."
Yet even coquetry has its uses. as at
least two makers of maxims have dis
covered:
A woman without coquetry is as in
sipid as rose without scent, cham
payne without sparkle or corned beef
without Observation-Disclosures Winthrop.
Women are often ruined by their
constituencies and saved by their CO.

this story-the moral which the blame
less Mr.. William Dean Howells has put
into these words:

ity man is only impertectly monoga-
NOUS"
Marriage, of course, is a subject
wherein all the wits have always exer-
cised all their wits. From scores of
examples a few of the most piquant
may be quoted.
An old Spanish proverb says; BEFORE
going to war say a prayer; before go
ing to sea say two prayers; before
marrying say three prayers"
Marriage. therefore, is three times
as terrible as war. Perhaps the wedding
"march" is so named because of its
military suggestions. At all events,
Heine declares that;
1.-THE music at a marriage procession
always reminds me of the music which
leads soldiers to battle
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-08

But. after all. as Lamartine says:
THE most effective coquetry is inno-
cence."
Men have died from time to time"
says Rosiland in "As You Like 1t" but
not for love-
The duke of wellington in his sober,
prosaic manner has made the retort
courteous upon Rosalind's sisters
with perhaps more humor than he was
conscious of:
81 cannot say that have ever known
of a young lady dying of love. They
contrive in some manner to live and
look tolerably WELL"
Jealousy is one of the prerogatives of
WOMAN and the source of some of the
most delightful as we'll as the most
devilish of her traits. Let a couple of
lever women give their opinions on
this subject:
1T is a strange thing. but although
woman may love man herself. she

Enlistment of the Darwinian doctrine
of natural selection that the import
ance of beauty as a factor in human,
as we'll as all animal, evolution came
to be generally appreciated.
THE saying that beauty is only skin
deep" sneers Huxley, lis but skin
deep saying"
And he proceeds to show that bodily
attractiveness is the external sign by
which nature marks woman as one
fitted for wifehood, and especially for
motherhood.
But beauty is not everything, nor
could the most bigoted evolutionist
claim that it is. Indeed, he would be
the first to acknowledge that though
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-08

that beauty is only skin deep, yet in
one form or another it is found in the
proverbial literature of almost all
countries. 1t was a favorite text for
the wise and the learned of the an
tique and the middle ages; it was ac-
cepted as a truism by Cicero, as well
as by Tertullian. and multitudinous
variations have been played upon 1t
by the poets.
Only recently has the paradox been
exploded. Sydney Smiths uncommon
sense punctured it on the side of its
practical value to the individual. 1t
is idle, he insisted, to tell a girl that
beauty is of no value when ali her
prospects in life may be ruined by a
snub nose. Pascars phrase is even
more broad and general: IF the nose

beauty is one of natures snares to en-
trap a man into matrimony through
the medium of the senses, it Is not
her only snare. Beauty must have
some medium of wit or vivacity to
vivify 1t and raise 1t to the sexual
potency. Says Thackerey:
81 can fancy nothing more cruel than
to have to sit day after day with a
dull, handsome woman opposite; to an
swer her speeches about the weather,
housekeeping and what not"
The danger of beauty to its owner
has often been harped on by the NOR
alist. Nobody has summed up the
thought more pointedly from, as 1t
were, the reverse side than the cynical
Heinrich Heine: Il do not know that
she was virtuous, but she was ugly,
and with a woman that is half the bat

Antoine Berryer, an ugly woman Is

has a not dissimilar thought in Don
Juan:

japanese More Than Just.

St. Petersburg, June 20.--Japan's
terms of peace, according to an in
terview had by a correspondent OF
the Novoe Nremya with member OF
the Japanese embassy at Vienna, will
prove to be more moderate than had
been expected and will be based on
the propositions made in the JAP
anese note on the eve of hostilities,
with the adoption of an indemnity
covering the cost of the war. Japan
will not insist on humilating terms,
such as the csssior of the Island of
Sakhalin, the disarmament of Vladi-
vostok or the limitation of Russis's
naval rights il the Pacific, but will
insist on guarantees against the re-
newal of the war for half a century
at least.
The diplomat is quoted as saying
that Japan wishes to live on terms
of friendship with Russia in the
future, and is not disposed to make
over harsh stipulations.

japan's Future Colonies.

If Japan corquers the Colossus of
the North, the hitherto dreaded giant
of unknown power, will she not justly
feel that che can cope on equal terms
with the other great world powers,
aad feel that, in war with any of
them, except, possibly, England, she
has at least an even chance of victory?
The ultimate fighting strength,
counting one in five of her population
of over forty.fve million people, will
give her On army Of nine millions,
AM with The twenty-five millions in
Manchuria and Korea to draw from
for auxiliary forces, coo)ie labor aid
ing in transportation, building forti-
fications, and making intrenchmenta,
she now appears as formidable in the
Orient, where, through distance
alone she will be difficult to reach by
an attacking force.
Owing to the fact that nations can
not leave their cost entirely unpro'
tected, no great power, except posei-
bly, England, could send to Japanese
waters a feet in any way comparable
with that of the Mikado. The dif-
ficulties to be overcome in transport
ing even an army corps to the East,
the long preparation necessary and
the dangers attendant on such a
move, unless the attacking force con-
trolls the sea, would almost preclude
the possibility Of invasion. Should
Japan feel the necessity for expansion
at some future time, as she has felt
it in the past, might she not think
that she has strength enough to
wrest the Philippinesfrom us? These
islands, owing to their great distance
from our Pacific cost and their near
ness to Japan, will always be con-
strant sourse of weakness to us, and,
possibly, a constant temptation to
her.
