The Deathblow to Graft.

In another article reference is made
to the campaigns of Lenroot, Lind, Van
SAINT, Cummins and others.
We are inclined to view their
triumphs as a whole and fail to see
that the one element of strength in
every instance, as with Folk in Mis-
souri,, Pattison in Ohio, Weaver in
Philadelphia, McGovern in Milwaukee,
any many others that might be named
the one essential element of strength
is that feature of their campaigns that
might we'll be styled anti-graft. That
is what it amounts to in every case.
Anti-graft, political, industrial, COM
mercial-the cutting out, wedding out,
drowning out of graft in some form.

their records in wedding out graft in
the way of bribery and corruption.
Pattison, LaFollette, Douglas end
others won out on opposition to in
dustrial graft.
Graft has seen it's day. 1t has pre-
vailed everywhere, but it's days are
rapidly being numbered and ere the
twentieth century has passed it's youth
full years, graft will have received SO
many black eyes as to exhaust the
Arabic system of notation. And your
grandchildren will ask: What is, OF
was, graft? Your hazy memory by
that time will have lost it's cunning and
doubtless the best you can say will be
that it was something in bygone days
that was rated somewhere among the
list of offences in about the location OF
bank-wrecking and horse stealing.
Goodbye graft, a long and Joyful
adieu, and may you lose the return
ticket.

Jenkins On the Rate Bill.

Congressman Jenkins delivered a
speech on the rate bill on Tuesday,
May 22nd. 1t was after the bill had
passed the house and in an amended
form had come back from the senate.
The public will be inclined to ask why
it is that the congressman had nothing

"A man who has not loved a woman
in his life is no man, and never will

DR.. Reich also asked the ladies in
the audience what were among the
strongest passions of women. One
mentioned avarice, another love of ad-
miration, another jealousy and still
another vanity. The strongest passions
on the part of men were alleged to be
ambition" '1ove of comfort" selfish

PARIS, April 21.-A terrible ad-
venture befell the secretary of we'll

his dentist yesterday.
He had been suffering from tooth
ache and went to have the troublesome
tooth extracted He sat down in a
chair and had just begun to explain
his trouble when the dentist shouted
out "All right; I'll have them all out
in minute"
The secretary attempted to state that
he merely wanted one tooth taken out,
but he stopped short when he saw
the dentist produce revolver.
Pointing the weapon at the seretary's q
head, the dentist exclaimed: "If you
move a muscle. while 1 am taking out
your teeth you are dead man."
The secretary saw that he was at the
mercy Of a madman and remained per-
fectly still while the dentist put the
revolver back in his pocket and pro-
ceeded to draw the teeth. One by one
they were pulled out, the madmon
drawing the revolver whenever the
patient exhibited any signs of protest
When eight teeth had been wrenched
out the madman said: "That will do.
You have been very quiet. Half a
crown, If you please"
The secretary paid at once, staggered
out of the room and went to the near

A force of police was sent and when
they entered the room the madman
opened fire on them. He shot one of the

SHE MAY WEAR A RING
Sequel of the Dismissal, of a School
Teacher Results In This
Decision
Special Cable to The Herald.

special cable TO Ihe Herald,
LONDON, April 21.-The right of
Miss Peggy Wiliiams;s a. teacher in the
Holyhead county school, to wear a ring
has been vindicated. (ta
The ring was worn with theS consent
OF her father. the Rev. John Williams,
a Methodist pastor, but the headmaster
of the school objected, and as Miss
Williams refused to abandon her orna-
ment she was expelled.
A question in parliament followed,
which only ELECTED from Mr.. Birrell
the statement that he could do nothing;
but the governors of the school have
instructed the headmaster to arrive at
an amicable arrangement with Miss
Williams parents. This has now been
done, and the record of expulsion has
been removed from the schools books.
Despite his inability TO interfere III
the matter, Mr.. Birrell succeeded in
raising an interesting point in answer
ing the question in parliament.
Il quite agree that the treatment ap-
pears to have been of an arbitrary and
most unwise character" he said AT
the same time sumptuary laws of this
kind are very common, especially in
girls schools
Educational experts were puzzled.
They were asked where the code em-
bodying these "sumptuary laws" could
be found
Mr.. Yoxall, NJ. p, the secretary of the
National Union of Teachers, declared
that there is no such thing as code
of sumptuary laws.
'Mr. .eBirrell was merely using liter
airy phrase" he said. "rhe management
of schools frame their own laws, and a
certain amount of etiquette exists with
regard to the wearing Of jewelry and
suitable gowns.
"a pupil teacher who is brought into
close contact with girls at the age of
Ia and 10, when they are so easily in
fluenced, is bound to be careful in her
manner and appearance
Another educational expert with
whom the matter was discussed pro-
pounded a most interesting theory.
"a pupil teacher is educated at great
expense" he said, with the under
standing that for a certain number of
years she will repay this education by
her services as teacher. 1t is only
natural, therefore, that the sight of a

LONDON, April 21.-The Hon.
Bobby" Spencer, whose sartorial ac-
complishments were so sadly wasted IN
the house of commons, has speedily
justified his appointment as lord
chamberlain. That functionary has
charge of the kings household 'above
stairs" and the office is considered such
an exalted one that only peers of the
realm can fill it, There are not many
liberal peers and they are not the kind
of men who take a serious view OF
funkeyism. Unable to find a ready
made peer whose talents and politics
qualified him for the job, Sir Henry
Campbell -Bannerman, the new liberal
prime minister, has a patent of nobility
conferred on the Honorable Bobby, p"
and gave him the billet as Lord AL
thorp To prove himself fitting rep
resentative of a government which is
pledged to retrenchment and reform,
the ennobel Bobby has announced sun
dry changes in the sartorial regula-
tions of the court the net result OF
which is to reduce the number OF
separate garments which the prlVl-
legged courtier is required to purchase in
order to be entitled to appear before
the hlIlS.
The dress coat heretofore worn in
the evening by the gentlemen of his
majesty's household has hitherto been
distinguished by two gilt buttons upon
each cuff, whereas the coat that goes
with what is known as the Windsor
uniform had three. Thanks to Bobby
the two styles of coat are now pra-
tically identical, with three buttons
upon each sleeve, one of which must be
above the cuff and two on it. Then
again the buckles upon the knee
breeches of the Windsor uniform were
worn plain, while those of the breeches
worn at the other royal palaces were
covered by tie ends of black ribbon.
Bobby has ordained that these rib
bons shall be removed, with the re-
suit that the same pair of breeches Will
pass muster at any of the palaces. Nor
is this all that Bobby" has effected.
He has saved the courtier the necessity
of buying two waistcoats to go with
the Windsor uniform by decreeing that
a single breasted garment of white
marcella shall be "de rigueur" for both
morning and evening wear. From all
of which it is evident that Bobby is
doing something to earn his salary of
$4,000 a year by saving money for
other people. But the court tailors are
complaining woefully.
