A Roosevelt Victory,

There was unanimity in Republican
ranks this year that President Roose-
Welt must be made the vital issue of
the campaign. And he was In every
congressional district where the Re
publicans put up contest the domi-
nant note was, stand by the Presi-
dent" The achievements of his adj
ministratiOn were pictured in glowing
colors. Voters We're told that the work
so well begun had not been completed
and that they must return a Republican
majority to Congress if they were salts
fed with that which he had done and
wished to indOrse it.
Hence whatever of victory the Re
publicans can claim out of the recent
election must be credited to the man in
the White House. He furnished them
The material with which to make a win
ming campaign. His popularity with
the masses and his well known wishes
as expressed in his letter to Watson in
auenced the vote that has granted the
Republican party an extension of con-
troll in the lower house. 1t is not too
much TO say that the confidence of the
people in the patriotism and earnest
ness of President Roosevelt decided the
result in enough close districts to de-
termine the issue.

Introducing People.

There are few people who have not
suffered at one time or another by the
offhand manner in which they are in
troduced to others. This kind of in
PRODUCTION is likely to embarrass some
people, just as the careful and gracious
introduction is one of the essentials
in putting strangers at ease.
In introducing people the greatest
care should be taken to pronounce both
names distinctly. If one name has es-
capped the introducer's memory it Is
safest and best to excuse oneself and
ask for the forgotten name. The most
delicate sensibilities should not be
wounded by such slip of memory, for
who is there who has not at some time
or another quite forgotten a well-known
name?
The debatable question as to wheth-
err woman should shake hands with a
man who is being presented to her has
been solved by making it only obliga-
tory for the woman to offer her hand
to the man when the occasion is infor-
NAL and the man is being introduced

Here and There.

They have tariff reformers in Great
Britain also, but their doctrine is diff
ferent from that of tariff reformers in
America. Over there they want a tar

Over here the ''reformers" want the
tariff destroyed. Over there a stubborn
adherence to free trade is increasing
pauperism at startling rate, and Lon
don, the free trade capital of the
world, has larger percentage of pau
pers than any other city in the world
In the United Kingdom - per cent of
the population is more or less Depend
ent upon public or private charity to
exc out the Scanty subsistence that
cannot be obtained for lack of work
and wages. Over here we have ten
millions of the best paid and most
prosperous wage earners the world has
ever known. There is employment for
every man willing to work, and pauper-
ism, except through physical or mental
disability, is practically unknown. Over
there earnest men are seeking to install
protection as a remedy for pauperism.
Over here the "reformers" are seeking
to reform protection out of our tariff
in order that we may have cheaper
prices and cheaper men and women.
Over there British obstinacy stands in
the way of bettermen through protec-
ton. Over here American common
sense clingS to protection as the right
thing.

Women's Sense O. Honor

Women who cheat at games and then
are unashamed when men laughingly
accept the cheat as joke help to low
er the feminine sense of honor. They
are as bad as the women who talk of
having servants when they have none,
declared Miss Lucy Soulsby at the con-
ference of the National Union of Wom-
en- Workers at Tunbridge Wells.
1t was Il debate in Who Has the
Most Sense of Honor, Women or Menu
But no men were allowed TO take part.
Before preparing my argument, -
said Miss Soulsby, Il made an investi-
CATION to learn what We're the things
in which women lacked 4 sense of hon
Or. Besides the woman who speaks of
servants which she hasn't got, | had
pointed out to me the woman who
reads other peoples letters without au-
therity, and the woman who overhears
conversations which she is not sup
posed to listen to.
''Why is it that girls are more prone
to cheat at games than boys? 1t is all
because of early training. Boys are
taught to be chivalrous and tolerant
of girls. So boys grow up with a sense
OF chivalry and girls grow up expect
ing tolerance of boys. The weaker sex
is thus handicapped.
Women do not learn the practical
lessons which rough experience gives
to the other sex. A boy knows if he
does not play fairly he will receive no
quarter; if he cheats he will get kick
ed out; but with a girl 1t is altogether
different. A boy plays the game and
abides by the decision of tie umpire,
but a girl will appeal from the UNI
pire's decision if it does not suit her
AS rule, l would say that girls have
more sense of honor by nature, while
boys have more by training.

Why Should We Weep.

Under our exclusion policy" the i'm
ports free of duty tread close upon the
imports that pay customs duties at the
ports OF entry, and both reach unprece-
dented proportions.
Land of Goshen, Can it be that near
Iy half Of our importations are free of
duty and the Democrats didn't know
it? And all this happens under the
protective tariff system2 Under no
Democratic administration did real,
practical free trade" reach such colOs-
sal proportions.
Whether free trade hurts, or whether
1t benefits the country depends upon
the way it is adjusted. The Republi-
cans have adjusted it so that the pro-
tected list build up home industries and
the free list co-operates to the same
end. The protection is placed upon the
home products; the free list comprises
articles we cannot, or do not produce.
Under this wise arrangement the coun-
try is wonderfully prosperous and our
foreign trade is steadily increasing.
Then why should we weep-Bur-
ungton Hawkeye.

Brynn,s Career.

Mr.. Bryan's career In official public
life is limited to two terms In Con-
gress, in which his most notable per-
Torrance was a long and elaborate
speech in favor of free trade. He Is
now, as then, opposed to any tariff pro-
lection for American Industries or
wages. His position on political ques-
lions tends to lessen American employ
ment and wages. 1t would also limit
American opportunities for the poor
man, which was Mr.. Bryan's condition
ten years ago, when, with a great leap
of promotion, he was placed at the
head Of one Of the leading parties and
gained, as by one magical stroke,
place in the attention Of the world.
Such an event could happen nowhere
except in this great republic, now In
its most prosperous era under the poll
cies of the party which Mr.. Bryan seeks
to defeat, though its control for nearly
ten years has been marked by immense
strides forward and by highly import
ant legislation in behalf of fair deal
for all the people.-St Louis Globe

SNAKE OFTEN USEFUL.
Reptile Is Mans Friend and All
and Not His Enemy.

Reptile Is Mans Friend and Ally
and Not His Enemy.
Many stories are told Of blacksnakes
that have attacked human beings, and
full-grown specimen might conceiva-
bly, injure a weak. small child, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. Even at its
greatest development this snake is in
capable of doing more than cause an
unpleasant construction of the muscles
of a grown person, and the tales of its
attacks on men and women ending in
serious consequences to anything eX-
cept itself may be put down as imagi-
nary.
The copperhead is venomous. 1t be-
longs to the rattlesnake family, is
sluggish in its movements, principally
nocturnal in its habits, seeking by day
to avoid notice. 1t will not bite I'M
less greatly alarmed or provoked, and
the popular theory that it lies in wait
to strike human beings from behind is
entirely without foundation.
Recently a New Jersey man boast
fully attempted to charm" a copper
head and was stung by it. Usually its
victims are those who unintentionally
disturb it while they are handling
brush or stones in the woods, or while
clearing swamp land. Each Of these
snakes performs Il valuable service to
man in destroying small pests, such as
moles and mice The blacksnake eats
Ia pfa and tho pnnnprhn16
and rattlesnake, following their trails
by scent, avoiding their poison fangs
and crushing them to death. 1t is also
a famous tree climber and notorious
robber of birds nests. The blacksnake
may be tanned. The cOpperhead also
eats the garter snake, which is the prey
of many birds and mammals.
The garter snake is among the most
coura geOus OF serpentS. Notwithstand-
ing its dimiIutiyc size it shows small
fear of man, though incapable of injur-
ing him, and it strength and agility
make it a frequently victorious oppo-
nent of many animals greatly exceeding
it in bulk. 1t is most prolific, a single
female producing from twenty-five to
seventy-ive young at a time.
While the fostering of even the small
and nonpoisonous serpents is not likely
to become popular, they are of great
value to the farmer in keeping down
harmful animals, to combat which on
a large scale no cheap and effective
means has been found.
The harm they do is limited to the
destruction of birds, but in the warfare
for existence that continues through
out the life of all animals the birds are
not without means of offense and de-
Tense. Were snakes the only enemies
the winged tribes had to fear, there
would be no need of passing laws for
their protection.
A study of life in the fields and for
ests will show that, however strong the
instructive dislike of man for his ser
pent fellow beings is, they are his
friends and allies rather than his enc
mics.

than no man at all, might have been
the dictum fifty years ago but now it
reads: Better spinsterhood than any
thing less than a suitable match.
This is a change decidedly for the
better; for if women raise the stand
ard of manhood and stick to it, mascu-
Unity will have to come up to that
standard or be left stranded. With
the overwhelming scope Of woman's
world work there will be a correspond
ing falling off of matrimony. Once 1t
may have been true that woman's only
profession was wifehood, but 1t Is so
no longer.-Philadelphi Telegraph.

A brown and tan check tailor-Inade
is made with two circular volants set
a foot apart on the skirt and huge
ten-inch square pocket on the short

The Elton jacket has returned to life
in the little fur coates. The sleeves
come barely to the elbow in these jack
cts So long sleeves are still afar off
for anything except the swell tailor
made.
In spite of the apparent layishness
of decoration on this years gowns and
hats, there is no suspicion OF an over
abundance of trimming in either case.
The beauty of the fashions is in the
note of elegant simplicity.
The velvets were never lovelier in
their colorings, and they will be worn
very much during the winter in certain
shades of blues and the wine or sherry
tones. Velveteen. with its beautiful
chiffon finish. will also be a much-fa-
rered material.
To hang correctly, the empire gown
must follow the lines of the figure and
be made over tight princess lining
All materials are used for this style,
although spangled nets and embroid-
cred chiffons are particularly adapted
to the fashion.
Some queer kind of loose fluffy
brown plumage is used in millinery
this year. The whole top of one large
hat is covered with this. with a few
dead roses scattered upon 1t. and the
effect is like nothing so much as q
heap of feathers in the barnyard, after
q fowl has been plucked.

PO|tCQ| Comment. !;
Some Mistakes of Hearst.

some Mistakes of Hearst.
The effort of Mr.. Hearst to become
Governor has failed. In casting about
for the reasons they are not hard to
find. At no time did he manage his
canvass as becomes the shrewd office
seeker for Office. He did not placate );
he did not cajole; he did not f1atter.
He did not study the soft side of hu-
man nature and play on its heart
strings. For the opposition it was the
club and he asked unquestioning ODE
dience from those enlisted under his
banner
Out of this Self-confidence a series
of mistakes followed. One of these was
his coalition with Tammany Hall and
Murphy. Nominated first. by the indie
pendence League, he used this organi-
cation to compel Tammany to take up
his cause Succeeding here, the league
became second fiddle to Murphy and
his men thereafter. and yet so devoted
were its members to the person of Mr..
Hearst that they acquiesced without a
murmur. If they We're not extremists
in this allegiance several justifiable op-
portunities We're given them to weaken
this attachment if not to turn against
the New York editor.
He fought with McCarren in Kings
County over a triviality and this cost
him 10000 votes. He angered pretty
nearly all the leaders of the Democ-
racy when by so doing he had every
thing to lose and nothing to gain.
What more effective argument could
have been used against an ordinary cam
didate than rank and recent inconsis-
tency? Yet Mr.. Hearst furnished this
in the greatest degree. A year ago
charging that Mr.. Murphy and Tam
many Hall had stolen votes enough
from him to deprive him of the office of
Mayor OF New York, he enters into a
compact with these agencies ten months
later to make him Governor Charac-
terizing Mr.. Murphy as a thief who
ought to be in prison, he takes, up with
him to make common cause against Re
publicanism. Yet the Independence
League, created to fight Tammany Hall
primarily and the trusts incidentally,
gloried in this compact
Hearst's attack upon Judge Parker
was as ill-timed as it was needless AS
the standard bearer of the Democratic
party for President two years ago he
was still entitled to it's leadership, for
he had not only the confidence and es-
TEEN of his party but the respect of
Republicans as WELL His ability and
high character are unquestioned Yet
he was likened unto a cockroach.
Grover Cleveland was once alluded to
BY Mr.. Hearst as a living, breathing
crime in breeches Mr.. Hearst ought
to have known in applying these coarse
characterizatiOns that he was offending
4 great body of Democrats without as
well as within the State and turning
voters in regiments to Mr.. Hughes.
Mr.. Hearst's ambition to reach high
stations has closed. He will never be
chosen Governor of New York or Pres
ident Of the United States.-Utica

Mr., Bryan Again Pre-emfnent.


The defeat of Mr.. Hearst makes the
way clear for William Jennings Bryan
for the Democratic nomination for the
presidency.
Hearst did not wish Bryan's assist
ance in his effort to become New York's
Governor. To have won single handed
would have made hin, all the greater in
the public eye, the foremost personal
ity In the Democratic party. This was
hts desire. Napoleonic in his ideas, he
neither asked nor accepted advice. He
was the field marshal who gave orders
and supervised every detail Of the
struggle. The distracted party which
Hearst has left in bedraggled condi-
ton instinctively turns to Bryan
