i long as such fines and penalties can be
lrecouped from the people, it is really
the people instead OF the corporations

The substantial benefits accruing
! from his efforts to curb predatory cor
pora tons are not SO much in what he
has accomplished but in creating a
more pronounced public sentiment in
favor of more equitable government
From the vantage Of his official station
he has been able to reach larger
mum Der of people, and by forcing the
rate bill on congress he has shown
many Republicans how subservient to
corporations and corporate wealth the
majority of their leaders are. Some of
them are SO much so that the exposure
of their legislative record meant politi
cal retirement. It has also served to
show how shallow and deceptive has
been their profession of loyalty to the
interests of the people.
while giving the president unstinted
credit for what he has DONE and with
out impugning his motives, we must re-
member that hts ideas of reformatOry
measures and means of obtaining them
are crude and tentative. That he is
impulsive and cratic and lacks the de-
liberation. breadth of view and careful
leadership. That his administration is
the most extrayagent, wasteful. and
expensive Of any since the foundation
of the government. That his liability
to spill and deny is proverbial, and
has caused him many controversies on
questions Of yeracity. While constantly

morality he has lacked the prac tica1

acteristics being no longer individual,
but the property of her race. The
writer explains this by reference to
the affectations of the American wo-
man, and writes as follows:
THE great pity is that in America
there are women of certain type far
too common, who boast that they are
much more cultivated than the men,
and impose upon others, because they
have acquired a certain vague and
superficial knowledge on a thousand
subjects, so that they appear to be of
marvellous versatility, when in fact
they are scarcely educated. The Eng
fish have invented a graphic phrase
which I wish to use in this connection,
to master the trick American wo-
men of this sort have mastered the
trick of appearing cultured. They
are past masters in the art of making
the gilded brick appear to be a cube
of gold, so as to cheat others into
the idea that the gold is genuine, like
their diamonds, if they have any. They
pose as intellectuals, and their SUI
preme aspiration is to emancipate
themselves from the superiority of
the other sex, a superiority whose ex-
istence they deny. Thus America has
form of feminism, or rather gyno-
cracy, which is really formidable. Its
influence spreads from the fashions to
religion, from literature to social rules
from public opinions in some matters
to public actions in others. 1t is the
women who initiate everything, who
accomplish everything, who direct GER
tain currents of thought, who wish to
baptize war-ships with water instead
of wine, and who try to cure their
weakness of nerves by secret alcohol
ism. They have invented Christian
Science, and they shrek at Roosevelt
because he has given them lesson or
two which they well deserved because
they have forgotten, in spite of their
boosted culture, the axiom of Euri-
pides, o woman, the best ornament of
woman is silence"
The writer says that the American
woman prefers intellectual pursuits to
Irritation, and reads more than the or
binary American man, although this
feminine intellectualism is not elevat-
ing the standard of American litera-
ture. Thus:
1--WE must allow that the American
woman is intelligent and devotes to
the Metaphysical or Browning Club
the hours a Partisan spends with a
lover. There are more lettered women
than lettered men in America. This,
however, results in lowering the tone
of American literature and art, the
code of morality is thus strangely dis
torted, the current of public opinion
made to run with grotesque uncertain
ty, and life in general becomes filled
with the oldest inconsistencies. -

HOW AN ITALIAN WOMAN VIEWS
THE AMERICAN WOMAN.

The American woman is queen in
her own county; she is more educated
and reads more than the American
man; she shines in foreign drawing
rooms and is successful exotic;
says Amy A. Bernardy in the Nuova
Antologia (Rome). Miss Bernardy is
professor of Italian at Smith College
in Northampton, Mass. This writer
claims that she herself is not like
many other foreigners who have writ
ten about America after a brief stay
in New York or Chicago She knows
the whole inner life and background
of the country, and has resided here
a sufficient time to render her COM
petent witness. She accordingly
sweeps the whole field of American
life-trade, society, politics, and lit
AZURE. Particularly does she dwell
upon the characteristics of the Ameri-
can woman-the most important and
interesting phenomenon, she declares,
which she has met with from New
York to California, from Maine to
New Mexico. She beings as follows
to emphasize the Importance of the
softer sex in the western hemisphere:
81 do not exactly see why all Amer
lean writer's pass by the men of their
stories and exalt the women. 1t is
also said that the American nation
is the only one in the world which
finds it impossible to write book, on
whatever subject, without introducing
a brigade of petticoats,- or, at any
rate, without devoting at least one
chapter to her Majesty the American
Woman, Queen of the Republic. Peo-
pie have also so often said to the
American woman that she is incom-
parable, or they have so often de-
clared this to others, that they all end
by believing it,"
The writer begins here to qualify
this unbounded eulogy, and makes an
exception to the "all'' of the proceed
ing passage:
81 mean nearly all. Ugo Ojetti must
have smiled as he wrote that happy
phrase, the American woman is a
fine article of exportation.' And real
ly, when she has been transplanted to
Europe, polished by contact with those
of long descent and ancient name, and
has breathed the atmosphere of con-
ventionality which belongs to an old
patrician society, she shows off to
vast advantage, in her freshness of
outline, and the reserved chic which
by it's very stiffness, enhances the
seduction which fine toilet of per
feet fit imparts to a beautiful Amer.
lean girl. 1t is then that she exhibits
that exquisite elegance, that mex
haustible luxury of life, that impos
ing audacity which gradually. from
the fact of it's unfamiliarity, wins
the European eye. She is what is
styled 'well-groomed,' evidencing in
every detail the care she bestows up
on her person. whose appearance sug
gests frequent baths, gymnastic ex-
ercise, open-air habits, which result
in the equilibrium of a mechanical or
ganism, in interesting contrast to the
feminine personality, languid, fastid-
ious, and subject to broken sleep and
mysterious tremors, which belongs to
races which have inherited an older
country"

seen in her own country the observer
misses in her the novelty which

BETTING onDs SHORTEN.
Hearst Money Pounds the Betting Down
to Ten to Seven.


NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-There was a
afternoon in the Wall-street betting.
The prevailing odds had been to on
Hughes, the Republican gubernatorsal
candidate, but thes appearance OF
flood of Hearst money%at these figures
pounded the odds down TO lotto Z. The
increasing confidence of the Hearst
hackers caused quite a scare on the
floor of the Stock Exchange and its ef-
feet was soon shown in the market
There was heavy and aggressive sell
ing all around the room.
Ihe scare, however, was soon over,
and Hughes continued to- be an odds
on favorite, the betting ruling at to
in his favor. At the close of the bet
ting in Broad street there was still
Hearst money in evidence. AS con-
sequence. there were general predic-
tlons that the odds would shorten.
Some bets We're recorded on the Stock
exchange making the odds to lin
1avor OF Hughes. On the curb, however,
no bets were made at those prices
some OF the important wagers made
on the curb were the following: w.

New York Democrats Avow Intention
arsa to support Republican.


NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Charles E.
Hughes was today overwhelmed with
telegrams and letters of congratulation
upon his selection as the Republican
nominee for Governor. Fully 80 per
cent aof the messages came from men
{ who. declared that, while they had
never voted anything but the Demo
cratic ticket. they intended to vote for
him on November 6. Hughes found 1t
necessary to remain at his home all
day to dispose of these congratulatory
messages.
...A "A telegram from Binghamton, N. Y,
says: "Former Governor Edward F.
Jones, IA lifelong Democrat. has de-
sclared against Hearst. My voice and
vote fsare for Charles E. Hughes for
Governor he said today"
In disgust and loathing, Democrats
are turning from the Hearst ticket
nominated at Buffalo in such numbers
that 1t is impossible to estimate the
extent of the detection. Democrats
could be found everywhere one turned
who openly asserted that they would
refuse to support the Hearst ticket and
would use all their endeavorS to get
votes for Hughes.
This revolt from the ticket was not
confined to any class. Business men of
all classes, printers. telegraphers, bar
bers, professional men, clerks-when-
ever any class was investigated DEM
ocratic detection was disclosed.
1t was also clear today that Hearst,
who had already lost the support of
his own Municipal Ownership League,
would probably lose the. favor of the
Independence League, his own creation.

county leaders here are much elated
over the nomination of William r.
Hearst as the Democratic candidate
for Governor of New York, as
they believe it removes political
complications in Chicago which have
caused them much anxiety. The coun-

nation means the death knefl of the

Cook County. Details are expected
when Roger c. Sullivan and John P.
Hopkins return from Buffalo tomorrow.
Hearst's temporary triumph in New
York will help the regular Democratic

ayers Of the local campaign. I'VE be-
lieve that Hughes will defeat him at
the election, which is pleasant to. con-

joy is that his nomination by Tammany
