PUT 1T UP TO ALDRICH.

~ Possibly Nelson w. A1drich, senior senator
from Rhode Island and accredited business man
ager of the United States, believes he represents
&he people of this state. If he does he should
quickly disabuse his mind of any such notion. The
people long ago came to the conclusion that Mr..
Aldrich represented trust interests rather than the
Interests of those who sent him to the senate.
And they are fully justified In such convic-
tion. What has Nelson w. Aldrch done for the
state or the people of the statef Practically moth
ing, beyond making large promises, which were
seldom redeemed by performance.
But Mr.. Aldrch has done many things that
advantaged himself. He has made himself multi
millionaire, and has also made himself command
ing figure and compelling force in the United
States senate.
OF both achievements the state of Rhode
Island would be proud if they were in the interest
of the people. But they are not. They were in
the interest of and helpful to Mr.. Aldrich and the
Interests" he carefully safeguards in the senate
Mr. Aldrich has played his selfish game very
long and very successfully, but at last he will be
compelled to show his hand, because Of the action
of the Building Trades council That body by
formal vote sent him an urgent request to have
the committee of which he is chairman make an
Ing the internal revenue tax on denatured alcohol
The labor men of Rhode Island understand
very we'll that free alcohol for use in the arts and
in manufactures will work great saving to the
people. They know also that free alcohol will be
a winning competitor against the Standard Oil
monopoly.
Knowing these things, the labor element has
sought to give Mr.. Aldrich fair chance to put
himself right with the people of Rhode Island and
of the country. All they ask is favorable
report on the denatured alcohol BILL All they
demand is that the bill shall not be strangled in
committee.
Their demand is reasonable and just. If il
Is not granted the people will have good ground for
suspicion that the senior senator from Rhode Island
and the father-in-law of John d. Rockefeers son
is laboring more zealously for the promotion OF
family interests than he is for the protection OF
the public against grinding and unscrupulous
trusts.

REGISTER!

Have you regstered' The question may be
trite but it loses of its force on that account
If you haven't registered you are placing yourself
in jeopardy of disfranchisement.
Do you realize that man without ballot
is little better than man without a country?
Registration is necessary procedure under
present laws, unjust as they may be, to qualify
the citizen who does not own $I34 worth of real
estate elector.
Whatever hardship there may be in the pres
ent method of registration, it furnishes no excuse
for failure to register Every citizen knows that
by registering he make himself potent factor
for reform, and that by failing register he rem
ders himself poweress to aid in the correction of
the many evils and abuses from which the state
is suffering.
1t is up to the registry voter, therefore, to do
his duty by placing his name the registry list.
II he fails he not only disfranchises himself but
gives aid and comfort to the political enemy.

HEARING REOPENED.

The police commissioners today voted to re-
open the hearing on the charges made by Rev. Mr..
Cristy against Chief of Police Matthews.
This action is right from every point of view.
Il shows the commission is determined to be fair,
impartial and searching in its inquiry into the
merits of Rev. Mr.. Crsty's allegations
It shows also that it is willing to give Mr.. Nash
fair hearing, for he is the chief witness against
the chief OF police.
The rcopening of the will give the public
an opportunity to judge whether Chief Matthews
Is untitled to hold his position or whether he has
been the victim of unwarranted accusations.

Things That Delight
The Heart of Woman
WHY WOMEN DON'T KISS

There are four reasons why women
no longer kiss each other, says the Lon
don Express.
1t has been proved difficult for two per-
sons wearing Gainsborough hats or their
notifications TO kiss.
The long flowing yeils become tangled
mass OF chiffon or net and the large vel
vet spots with too rough treatment easily
become detached.
Complexion, unless exceedingly well
made, is apt TO smear, and the powder
easily rubs off.
The elaborate blouse and neck ruffles,
with the multitudinous chains. ETC. are
easily crushed and quickly lose their pris-
tine beauty.
II is, therefore, considered bad taste to
kiss in public, and So since there must be
some way OF welcoming a friend, the
manly handshake has come In.
