SHOULD MAKE NO MISTAKE.

At the meeting OF the governors of
the Civic League on Tuesday night
Mr. Quigley conservatively and point
edly directed attention to a danger
that the League should avoid. Certain
street work has been decided upon and
specifications prepared In accord with
prevailing sentiment. The opposition
to the sort Of paving decided upon,
those who want another style of paw
ing, are undertaking to convert the
League to their Views, and to have the
League declare that a certain style of
paving must be adopted. on penalty Of
the Leagues displcasure and opposi-
tion. One of the speakers gave spite
full expression to this narrow senti-
ment by declaring that none but n GER
tain person named. gets any work
now.
MIR. Quigley kindly and pertinently
pointed out that this attitude on the
part Of the League. II such should be
its final position. would make of the
League an discretionary body. This
is so manifestly true that the wise
persons among the governors must
certainly sense the point, We may add
that for the League to assume to be
the spokesman of unsuccessful bid
ders. and TO voice their dlsappoint-

THE PITY OF 1T.

Hundreds of Mormon girls have en-
date OF the manifesto. nearly all Of
them In the solemn conviction that
they were serving God and fulfilling
the wish OF their church The men
whom they call husbands and the men
who officiated In the ceremonies taught
to them that this relation was of all
the most sacred that they were to be
under the authority OF the church and
by the word of It's present prophet
priestesses unto God in the hereafter,
and incidentally respected wives and
mothers In this world.
And now the church has placed its
stigma upon them and their innocent
offspring, and has left them as Hagars
In the wilderness. oh, the pity OF IT!
The renewal of polygamy was all so
unnecessary; 1t was all go brutal: 1t
was all so selfish,
Less than two years ago one polyga-
nous wife thought that The Tribune,
in utterine Its warning OF the forth
coming fate, was animated by the
spirit OF falsehood and persecution.
Only yesterday she said, "It is not
The Tribune that has ruined my life,
but the man to whom I entrusted 1t
and the prophet whose word l believed
Would to God that and my babe were
dead"

RISE OF THE RUG HABIT

Chicago Chronicle.
Ihe rise and growth OF the rug habit
is one OF the interesting developments
Oh domestic economy. Like the newly
established country newspaper. the rug
fills long-felt want: consequently. also
like the rural journal. 1t has come to
stay.
The rug habit In Chicago had q small
beginning as long as twenty years ago,
but II was not until about the period OF
the worlds fair that IL assumed the
proportions of a true fashion, When
fiat builders began to equip apartments
with hardwood floors the carpet OF Gus
tom and tradition began to disappear.
When house owners followed the ex-
ample and replaced pine flooring with
those of quarter sawed oak the rug
habit became practically universal and
the carpet was relegated To hotel bed
rooms and to those few private dwell
ings whose od-fashioned occupants de-
clined to accept the new dispensation.
Today a full floor carpet is rarely seen
i'm Chicago house and almost never
In a Chicago fiat. The rug is master
of the situation.

POLITICAL "sooNERs. -

The offlce- holding and ofT1ce- seeking
gentry are, 1t appears, getting anxious
| about next falls election. The county
officials are to be chosen, and members
OF the Legislature from this county.
| The anxious ones arc getting feverish
to have pledges of support now, even
though election day is seven months
| away Accordingly. they want Repub-
licans to give in their pledges Of feaTty
right now
We beg TO say 10 the office holders
and ofT1cs-seekers who thus want 10
take charge of the Republican party
and put their special brands upon It,
that they are premature. Not only
Will their "preyiousness' be apt 10 dis
gust the rank and file OF the party
whose votes they show such fierce dis
position TO take charge OF In advance,
but these very movers may themselves
be sorry for their prematureness, later
on.
These Office holders and office seekers
have nothing else so much In view as
the favor Of the hierarchy toward their
plans and aspirations. But suppose
that after while 1t is seen that the
ecclesiastical rulers do not desire dis
tinctiveIy Republican movement this
year, but that they favor a fusion ticket
with the Democrats, in order TO beat
down the voice OF civic liberty as ex-
pressed through the activity OF the
American party, What Will poor
Robin do them
When that time comes, these very
office holders and office seekers will call
upon the hills To fall and blot out the
record Of this meeting Of theirs to COM
NIT Republicans to their special inter-
ests. They Will repudiate the move
ment, denounce IT as premature and III
advised, and will hasten to get into the
ecclesiastical band-wagon and toot for
a fusion ticket. which will be q church
ticket whether the candidates are Nor
mons or not. In fact, probably the
ecclesiastical ticket would be made up
rs largely of Gentiles MS Geutiles could
be found to stand as tools for the bie-
rarch
1t was doubly unwise. therefore for
iist pluSt-SteheIS ana llCe-nOlueTS To
unmask their design at this time. Their
assumption that the Republican party
exists only to give them office, and that
Republican voters must put down In
black and white their absolute agree
ment TO support them for office. is apt
to be resented by the rank and flle And
worse than ALL the church guns are
liable TO blow them all out of water. It
Is true that when the cats away the
mice can play" but the mice should not
forget just yet that the cat Is still here,
and may chew them up at any mo-
ment. A concern that can get away
with two million dollars a year In tith-
ing, would have little difficulty In
crushing the bones OF a few political
"sooners"

1t Is Effective

Editor OF The Tribunc:-The con-

The hundreds Of Saints who have
thousands who have surreptitiously

Bids are public and open. II there Is

more likely to be through a combina-
ton OF bidders than through crooked
work on the part of the city officials
II some contractor Is disappointed

could be assumed TO be especially
friendly to him

1t will not be able to perform it If 1t
constitutes itself an opposition party;
II 1t stops public work through preju-
dice. exclusive advocacy of one style
or method OF work, or favoritism to or

1t champions any special methods or

exist or conflicting interests come in

The League must be broad minded

help the public. And we have full
faith that 1t is SO. and viii continue in
that faith until the contrary Is plainly
shown.

CHINESE wOMEN'S FEET.
Chicago News
ChInas custom of binding the feet Of
Its women is not as ancient as has been
supposed. A correspondent OF one OF
the native Chinese papers quotes from
the letters OF Yuan Mel. who lived in
the eighteenth century. In one of his
letters Yuan Mel wrote TO q friend:
You ask me to get you handsome
wife and ardently desire. as your FIRST
requisite, that she shall have small
feet. Surely you cannot be one who
admires true beauty. An admirer Of
true beauty has his own Individual
tastes, dtsdaining to follow the dictates
OF others. Our ancient literature. in
both prose and poetry. has many al
lusons In praise Of beautiful women.
but in no instance touches upon small
feet.

the Sung dynasty by Shen Yo says a
mans wall-made shoes are said to be
square and Woman's round cat the
toe). in the Tang dynasty. the first
allusion to the feet of Yang kwei Fei,
the court beauty. was about her silk
stockings. In one OF Han Tung Lang S
poems, referring to a woman's feet he
says: Her sIx-inch feet so bright and
sleek These allusions clearly point TO
unbound feet"

West Philadelphia girl has finally sue

young man, whose intentions may
have been matrimonial, and whom she
did not care TO consider because of his
fondness for intoxicating liquor. 1t had
not got 10 point Of rejecting MS

tell him In kind but explicit language
that she could never share his heart
with the corner saloon; but the oppor-

emotions by her playing on the piano.
