1T is INTERESTING.

An interesting political situation has developed
In Ohio, Senators Foraker and Dick both having
assumed the attitude of historical Coon" and
agreed to come down." if President Roosevelt,
William H. Taft and some couple of hundred thou
sand voters who have already shown interest
in the personnel of the next Republican nominee
for president don't shoot.
In fact Senator Dick is really willing to kiss
the ripple aimed at him.
II the next Republican nomination for pres-
dent is to be settled by Ohio, then w. II. Taft will
win in walk. 1t was announced with flourish
of trumpets some weeks back that if the Repub-
can nominee going TO be taken from Ohio the

Mr.. Taft, we're yours from start TO finish' from
the smallest camp follower to the all-powerful
managers, Dick and Foraker. An alliance between
the last two made at Dayton last year. and war
to the hilt was declared on every Republican who
preferred the presidents policies to those of For

Today Foraker and Dick admit that the en-

LET HER GO IT!

There's man out in Setala, Mo-, who wants to
divorce his wife because she chews tobacco. 1t
must be rough to have better half who does chew
tobacco, and still rougher for wife to be compelled
to choose between husband and plug OF the
weed.
When woman stampedes against her hus-
band it's no use to try and head her off, for she will
in nine out of ten, dry up and be peevsh and
nervous. Just let her have her head and run-after
a while she will simmer down and become manage
able.
There was once man who had little mus
tang pony and everytime it saw stone wall or
substantial tree, would mill around in Mysteries,
rub up against them and try to unseat the rider.
The man let the pony do as it wished, and the ami
NAL soon caught on to the fact that it was not
getting much fun out of it, quieted down and gave
up the bad habit.
Just so with the man from Sedea. If his wife
wants TO chew tobacco let her chew-if she chews
enough he won't need to get divorce! Anyway,
she will probably eventually find out she's not get
ting much satisfaction out of the weed and go back
to her nrst love-the husband.

VANITY FAIR CARPENTERS
GET WAGE INCREASE

Mr. z. L. Shea, the contractor, under
whose direction Vanity Fair Is rising
like an Oriental City, played strong
card with the labor interests here TINS
week, when, unsolicited, he announced
an increase I'm wages for every car
penter on the work. Of 2S cents per day
above the rates now paid by the
Masters Builders association here.
This increase in wages places the
Vanity Fair carpenters on the same
footing as union carpenters in Boston.
Instead of receiving SO per day. as
heretofore. at the park, and, as Is now
the case everywhere in providence
each man receives s3.2S per diem.
In speaking OF the advance Mr.. Shea
said TO n News Democrat representa-
tive Although 7 have been for years
an employer Of labor. having had some
times as many as 1000 men working
for me. | have never joined any Master
Builders association. i am hrm be-
lever I'm union labor, and believe In
paving my men the highest union rates
IL has been my experience that, by so
doing. get a better class OF men
and the best results.
There was no necessity. so far as
I am concerned. or 80 far as the inter-
ests Of Vanity Fair are concerned, for
this advance in the wages or the car
penters II you put IL on the basis or
not being able TO get as many car
penters as are required for the work.
We could get along on the old basis
and still open on time, but ! see no
reason why carpenters In Providence
should not get the same rate as is
paid for union carpenters In Boston.
The only question Is whether union
carpenter here is as good as union
carpenter elsewhere. The fact that |
have. unsolicited, advanced the wages
OF the men at Vanity Fair is
surficient answer to the question"
