Nine-tepths Of the writers who in
weigh against society conditions and
who assume that what is known as
the smart set. the Four Hundred and
. few women's clubs a-e representa-
tive Of the American people. lose
sight entirely Of the fact that where
there is one member Of the smart set.
or one member Of the women's club
there are ten thousand women who
belong to neither and who are really
the salt Of the earth. The mother in
her home. devoting her time to rais-
ing a decent and respectable family
instead of studying fashion plates
and preparing essays on Browning
and on Swinebourne is the matron Of
America. and from the standpoint Of
patriotism and good citizenship she
ranks with the highest statesman and
the wisest legislator in the produc-
tion of high idealism in American
life. The bane of what is known as
high society life is a longing for no.
toriety and whenever a woman longs
for notoriety she neglects the first
principles that produce ideal woman
hood. .-Larimer County Democrat.

Gov. Gamblers Sight Believed Restored.
[Atlanta Georgian, May g.

aViouta SoOTBldu, may D.
A delicate surgical operation per-
formed yesterday by Drs. Calhoun and
Crawford will probably restore ex-Gov-
ernor Allen d. Candler's eyesight. For
some months Governor Gambler has been
totally blind, owing to fllm.like growth
over his single eye. Though unable to
see, he has kept steadily at his work of
compiling the colonial records of the
State through dictation to and direction
of his clerical force. Governor Cam
dler lost the sight of one eye in the Civil
war.
Oculists held out one hope to him-an
operation when the growth over the eye
ripened. In all these months of dark
ness no word of complaint has come
from Governor Gambler.
Yesterday the specialists decided the
time was opportune for performing the
operation. 1t was successful one, and
it is believed Governor Candlers sight
will be restored. For several days he
will live in darkened room, to which
light will be gradually admitted.
On the day Governor Gambler was ope-
rated on the third volume of the colonial
records of Georgia, which he is compil-
ing, came from the hands of the book.

with, back of this 61
guarantee, the great st. Louis House Of
Hammar, with half million dollars
reputation for honorable dealing.
There is no guess work about Ham,

It isn't ready mixed. You can mix
It yourself, and all you need to do it
with is stick.
Paint lives only so long as the oil in
It lives.
When you mix the paint with Oil

BY purchasing the fresh oil sepa-
rately and taking minutes time to
mix 1t with Hammar Paint you save
25%, which means in nutshell that
you have not paid for canned oil at
paint prices.
One gallon Hammar Paint and one
gallon linseed oil covers six hundred

Union Pacific always have been in the
forefront Of the opponents Of the canal.
Manifestly it is against their interests
to permit the control of the north and
south roads to pass into the hands of
capitalists who would use them in as
sisting in canal competition. BY ac-
curing the Illinois Central, Hartman,
it is said. has taken the first step to-
ward preventing such competition and
with the control of this line and the
Baltimore & Ohio his system will be
in position to compete with the canal
on better terms.
It is significant of the attitude of the
government toward cooperate evils that
the determination Of the interstate
commerce commission to investigate
the Hartman merger comes at about
the same time as the order Of the pres
ident for the attorney general to pros
ecute the Standard Oil company under
the anti trust law, and the appointment
Of Commissioner of Corporations Car
field as secretary of the Interior to con
tinue the fight against the public land
grafters.
The Hartman road cannot be pun
ished under the interstate commerce
law but they can be prosecuted under
the anti trust law, just as was the
Northern Securities company.
