FARsIGHTEp PEOPLE

Some people are so farsighted that
they are always looking in the dis
lance In their attempts to find some
subject Of gossip or some cause for
alarm, while they might find much
more If they would take a glance or
two at things in closer proximity.
Not long ago we heard walls from
across the sea about the conditions in
the American packing houses. While
1t was probably more from CONNER
cial standpoint than from any fear of
ravaging disease there was a great
cry against the American meats that
were being shipped into Europe Hear
ing 1T one would be led to the belief
that the European countries were the
only ones that were next to goodness
In their cleanliness.
While the people were talking about
America the government took quiet
tip and proceeded to do little inves-
tigation of Its own foodstuffs in Prus-
STA. The report of the medical depart
ment has just been issued. Unclean
conditions were found in the bakeries
and slaughter houses. In one town the
boys kneaded dough with their feet.
One bakery was occupied with cats
and hens and the oven in another was
utilized as goose pen" the report
says. These are a few of the findings
of the department.
That was wise thing for the gov.
eminent to do. When people begin to
see alarming conditions of this kind
in the distance it is well to take a sur.
vey of things nearer home. Careless
ness In these matters are liable to de.
velop in any country. The operation
of the plant may be begun all right
on small scale, but when the eyes OF
the world are in another direction the
slipshod methods are very liable tc
get a. hold in the institutions and q
general cleaning up will in time be de
manded.
Prussia Is not the only country that
has followed the example of the United
States. Little Japan got busy right
away and found some things doing
over there that was not altogether in
accord with the good taste of the PEG
pie who consumed the food that was
delivered to them from the packing
and canning plants.

JEROME TALKING AGAIN.

Down in New York the compaign for
the governorship has reached the
stage where the democratic candidates
are giving out interviews about the
other fellow. Hearst roasts Jerome
and so does Leader Murphy Of Tam
many hall. Then Jerome turns to the
newspapers and scorches both with
his compliments. 1t is probable that
there is a considerable amount of
truth in all of what is being said, for
the truth is what hurts. and it is with
an object Of hurting that the inter-
views are given out.
Jerome is the last to make an out
break, and in this he says some rec
ognized truths about Hearst, in answer
to the question as to whether or not
he would support the publisher if he
were nominated.
You will never face this situation"
is the way Jerome headed off the de.
mand for an answer. Lets discuss
something practical The democratic
party has had to swallow some bitter
doses in the past. but it will never
stand for that medicine"
In other words Mr.. Jerome says that
of all the demagogues and rascals that
have found places on the democratic
ticket none were as bad as Hearst;
that they stood for others but never
will stand for Willie.
He is like Murphy" Mr.. Jerome
says without any regard for Murphy's
feelings and standing in the commun-
ity.
THE question about Hearst" he
says, resolves itself into the people
who are about him, whose ideas, work
ing on the added brain of Czolgosz,
aimed his hand to STAY the president,
and working along these lines, is re-
fected in the conduct of the great
leader of the independent league, Bor-
ough President Bird s. Coler, who
went along the line of the B. R. T. in
citing riot"
1t will thus be seen that Jerome
does not intend that the people shall
so soon forget the manner in which
the beloved William Mckinley was
pursued by the Hearst papers unto
death at the hand of an assassin. He
implies that Hearst's identity is involv-
ed in the class of people who incite
such acts, and incidentally he places
Bird S. Coler in position not far re-
moved from them.
Jerome concludes that the way to
settle fight is to fight, and is appar-
entity ready for the fray. He says he Is
opposed to convention where three
or four little ducks go into a back
room and talk of the availability of a
man, that availability" always means
how much money he can raise for the
campaign fund.
Now it is Hearsts turn again and
when some of his hired men think up
something good to say Hearst will
break out in another interview that
will scorch Jerome

school committee. Perhaps the school
committees there are chosen like ju-
ries elsewhere, for their lack of previ-
Gus convictions on the subject most
likely to engage their attention. Per-
haps the committeeman have not kept
tabs on New York's experience in the
matter of trying to disqualify women
teachers who choose to retain their
rights, like other human beings, and
marry. There are several other cities
whose experience might be worth
studying, and there are court rulings
which might tempt even Boston COM
mitteeman to post himself.

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

With the announcement of the VIC
tory Of Hoke Smith in his candidacy
for governor of Georgia comes the
story of how he came to be a candi-
date. His wife insisted upon 1t.
A year ago when Smith was being
urged to run for the Office Clark How
ell, editor of the Atlantic Constitution,
business rival, gave out an interview
in which he practically dared the for
mer cabinet member to enter the race
against himself. He made the remark
about Hoke Smiths record and sug-
.gested that II he wanted to know just
how dead he was politically he could
find out by announcing his candidacy
for the executive office.
Mr.. Smith, 1t is said, was inclined
to allow the interview to pass I'M
noticed, but when Mrs. Smith saw 1t
things took different turn. She gath
cred the children together and march
ed them into the presence of their faith
er, urging, "You owe it to me and the
children to enter the race and make
Clark Howell sorry he ever gave out
this interview" The result is known.
1t is not known whether 1t was just
matter of resentment, with her part
ending there, or whether Mrs Smith
possesses the peculiar qualifications
with which some women are gifted
that enables them to assist their hus-
bands, sons and brothers in gaining
position in politics.
There Is no denying that the hand
that rocks the cradle rules the world,
but it is not necessarily in the rocking
Of the cradle that it is accomplished.
Not all Of the parts that women have
played in the history Of the, nation has
been written in the ANNALS. Their
work Is done like that of the shrewdest
of nipulators-through some other
person. 1t sometimes happens that a
women is one Of the wisest counsels
a man has when he is making politi-
cal race The late Mrs John Henry
Gear was known throughout all Iowa
as "a woman who played no small part
in the success of the late Senator Gear.
It is known that in the campaign in
which Senator Gear defeated Albert
B. Cummins in the senatorial race Mrs.
Gear found a worthy pol.t1caI rlval IL
Mrs. Cummins, and they were p.a."ing
their own parts as well as the men in
the lobby and in the corridor.
