Mr.. Folk and Kentucky.

The Louisville Evening Post until the ad-
vent of Organism was a stanch democra tic
newspaper, and accepted the platforms and
supported the candidates of that party.
Since then II has co-operated with the re-
publicans and been especially vigorous in
It's opposition to the democratic organiza-
ton in Kentucky. 1t has fought Goebelism
quite as stoutly as Bryanism.
In some remarks on The Stars recent in
quiry as to whether Mr.. Folks coming visit
to the state would benefit him politically
the Post says:
"It Is not as important to know what the
democrats will do for Folk as IL Is to know
what Folk will do for the democrats OF
Kentucky.
THE democratic party in this state Is as
badly ring-ridden as ever it was In Mis-
souri,. and no man has arisen to free 1t
from that dominion.
During the past fifteen years every DEM
ocrat who has called for reform within the
party has been treated as traitor and
expelled from public life.
1.-The 'ostracism' of the great has gone so
far that there seems to be no one left to
take up the work done by Mr.. Folk in Mis-
souri,
''Yet the field Is an open one, and the
party needs a leader who has faith in the
principles OF rectitude, and who believes
the people can be trusted to decide wisely
between contesting candidates and con-
nicting policies.
This 10 clear call for Mr.. Folk to work

The Outdoor Season.

The season of outings is at hand. when the
head of the family plans for little trips
for the members of his household. He finds
many opportunities near at hand. Wash
ington is favorably situated in this respect.
The river opens a wide range of choice for
brief ventures into the open. In a short
time the excursion boats will be running,
and it will be possible at almost any hour
for the city-weary man or woman to go
forth to rest and to take the children
North of town and on the east and west
are the woods and fields, now at their best
The Zoo furnishes instruction as well as
amusement. while beyond 1t stretches the
great expanse of the Rock Creek Park, al
ways a joy to the tired soul. In various
other directions spreads a beautiful country,
inviting communion with nature.
1t is wise to cut off some unnecessary
part of the days routine and go forth to
seek new forces by contact with the ground
in spring. The body has been housed too
closely for months. 1t should be given ex-
ercse In the open. Brisk walks are reju-
venating and incidentally widen the hori-
zon. The man who walks with his eyes
open will learn much that is strange to him,
perhaps reviving latent memories of boy
hood and filling life afresh with the de-
licious elements that made the younger days
so rarely vitalizing. The brain, cramped
by application to figures and facts of busi-
ness, to the taxing responsibilities of the
| workaday affairs, must have refreshment
by thus receiving the simple impressions of
the calmness of the life beyond the city.
The family man owes a duty to others
than himself to seek with them new fields
occasionally. Such outings will furnish
materials for pleasant talk for days after
wards And it should never be forgotten
that this world of business and duty and
work and money-getting needs occasional
jolts out of the trodden round of ideas. A
dinner table chat about the birds and flow
ers that were seen on the last tramp or pic
mic, or the quaint characters encountered,
will be more wholesome than discussions
upon political topics, or the latest criminal
sensation, or even the base ball situation.
Get out of bounds There are street cars
and boats a-plenty. The cost is slight, and
at the worst or best, there are always the
feet for TRANSFORMATION.

The Ballot Box.

In declining to pardon an elections thief
in Missouri the President took an admir-
able stand. Far too few of those individ-
uals get their deserts, and when one Is
landed behind the bars he should be kept
for the full term imposed Men who rob
or misuse the ballot box are worse than
those who rob banks. They strike more
deeply at the public interests. In many
cities elections have become grossly cor
rupt Money is so freely used that the
longest purse secures the offices, as the
longest pole knocks the persimmon. In
Denver it was discovered that some of the
leading offenders were elections officers who
working in connection with repeaters and
boodlers on the outside had carried every
thing to suit themselves. crusade that
should round up all the gentry of that
kidney would be blessing to the whole
country.

The English Coxeyites.

''Coxey's Army in London did not fare
as well as its American prototype did in
Washington. 1t was halted mile from
parliament house, and had to content itself
with sending fpputation to the scene
One of these msf, having misbehaved in
the gallery of the house of commons. was
elected. and the episode could not have
added TO the influence of the visitors.
The original Coxey and his men. it will
be remembered, turned into Pennsylvania
avenue at Fourteenth street and moved
down that broad thoroughfare to the Capi-
tol. They were not halted anywhere. but
simply warned to keep off the grass. Those
who dsobeyed the warning were arrested.
Congress was not in session when the army
arrived. and hence there was no opportu-
nifty for making a scene in the gallery of
either house. In an hour after the army
appeared on Capitol Hill the show had lost
its novelty. and the crowd that had been
attracted dispersed 1t was the tamest of
endings to a widely advertised demonstra-
ton.
Affairs of this kind can have but one
effect at this time of day, and that is Dreju-
dicial to labor. They are the work of noto-
riety hunters, who, as a rule have Their
personal ends in view. They strut their
DfleI hOur on the comic stage and then
retire. No benefit accrues to the rank
and file Ccxey accomplished nothing
for the foolish people who trudged here be-
hind him. or for the needy and discon-
tented anywhere. He probably enjoyed his
few weeks in the limelight and subse-
quently he amassed q small fortune but
not by the methods he employed as an agi-
tator. He did nothing for labor but invite
ridcule on those who approved of his tao
tics
The theatrical labor champion, like the
theatrical politician. is a dangerous man TO
follow. He himself rarely pays any penalty
for his folly. He profits by it in the way
of notoriety, and in other ways. But the
simple fellows who listen to his palaver,
and shape their course according to his di-
rectiony are certain TO find their last state
worse than their first. and to rue the day
when fhey yielded to the persuasion that
anything substantial could proceed from
mere buncombe and proclamation.

Men and Fashions.

The warm days which have closed the
week have brought forth the spring crop
of straw hats. 1t takes little persistent
heat to yield a showing of the summery
headgear. Man is naturally conservative
in his dress, far more so than woman. She
will eagerly don her Easter gown and mil
linery a fortnight in advance of the festival
which supposedly marks the season Of
glorified dress. She will get her furs out
of the moth bags a month ahead of the
cold weather. She pays virtually no heed
to the calendar and but little to the ther-
mometer. And perhaps that is why she Is
delight, because never guessable.
But man, staid man, is bound to the
wheel of tradition. He would not for the
sake of a frizzling brain put on a straw
hat before the first of May. Nor does he,
save in a few isolated cases, venture to do
so when the calendar has given the theo-
retical warrant. He waits until the days
are consecutively hot or until he sees the
gleam of straw in the streets. One sum-
mer hat does not make the season for the
average man, however. He keeps a wary
eye on the mercury. He notes the coming
of the hint of real summer. He prefers to
swelter for a week to finding himself the
object of remarks by his fellows.
The pioneers of fashions and the sea-
sons styles are relatively small number
among the men of today Extreme cuts
and shapes start slowly, if they do spread
rapidly when once started. 1t is far easier
TO get all the women of a community to
wear the same brand of toque or turban
or jacket than to persuade all the men to
adopt the same kind of shape of derby or
the same degree of bagginess in the trous-
ers. The great crowd of men hold firmly
to the advice SO aptly given by Oliver
Wendell Holmes, in his "Rhymed Lesson:'
"Be not the first by whom the new is tried,
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside"

There is a revival of the rumor that the
Hon. Tim Sullivan will forsake the field OF
national politics for the local field; that he
will resign from Congress and re-enter the
New York legislature. He has not shone
in Washington. He did shine In Albany.
He knows New York, particularly the big
town, from top to bottom. He began the
study when boy. His people believe in
him, and have always been his to COM
mand. They used to send him to Albany
by large majorities, and they have sent him
here by large ones. In the language of the
bailiwick, there is nothing too good for the
big fellow" Probably he pines Tor the
scene where he was not "a hitching post.
The Albany brand of craftsmanship appeals
to him. He would greatly have enjoyed the
legislative session just closed, where the
game was played to the limit, and Tam
many. although in the minority, often held
the center of the stage.
