Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-08-23

Of making presidential nominees for the democratic party there seems to be no end, although the manufac- turers as a rule seem to be republi- can politicians of republican editors. The latest name suggested is that of Lieutenant Governor Chanler Of New York. As vote getter the par ty might seek further and fare worse. Mir Chanler was nominated for lieut. enant governor on the Independent league ticket and endorsed by the democratic convention, by the same conventions which offered William Randolph Hearst like honors. MT chanler received 71s,642 votes, Mir Hearst received 691,105. MT Chanler was elected to the position he sought by plurality of 5,574; MT Hearst was defeated by plural ity of 57,s97. Whether this indicated surpassing strength on the part of Chanler or unexpected weakness on the part of Hearst must be left mat ter of conjecture, to be determined largely by the point of view of the man who considers the problem. Chanler is a strong man, a clean cut, able man, says a Washington writer. He has means without be- ing a plutocrat. He is good cam paigner and makes a good speech. He has served in public palee before, holding his present office which of course affords no test of his quality. He would be handicapped ss a na- tional candidate by his close alliance, both by birth and in business way with the Astor family. As a demo- cratic candidate for the presidency the fact that he is the favorite nephew of Mrs William Astor. the so- cial head of that family in the United States. would hardly be of advantage to him. It is rather a pity that a man of his really manly qualities. of his honorable ambitions and possess- ing so clean a record as he should have to bear the burden of member ship in a family that takes every thing from the rent payers and the taxpayers of the United States ana has never given anything back.

PUSHED THE BEAR ASIDE.
Surveyor Tells of Experience He Does : Not Care to Repeat.

To walk right up to monster bear and try to shove 1t out of the way and then escape without so much as scratch Is an experience of lifetime. Harry Engelbright found it so few days ago in Diamond canyon, above Washington. says Nevada City cor respondent of the Sacramento Bee. The young man, son of Congressman Engelbright, has just returned from the upper country, where he has been doing some surveying. and relates his thrilling experience. It was coming on dusk, at the clcse of the days work. In the brush-lined trail he saw pro- truding what he thought were the hind quarters of some stray bovine. He walked up and gave the brute a shove. It came to its launches with a snort that made his hair rise and caused him to beat nasty retreat. The big brute looked around and then shufied on into the woods. It was either asleep or else SO busy eating ants from an old log that it failed to hear the young surveyor. whose foot steps were deadened by the thick car pet of pine needles. Later it was learned that the same bear. a monster cinnamon, had killed dog earlier in the day. The dog yentured too close and with one blow of its paw the big beast sent it hurtiine wards Away dead as a doornail.

The Faithist, community which has established a modest footing in Bal ham. and whose comprehensive gospel ranges from the creation of man to the glory and labors of the gods and goddesses of the Etherian heavens" is the latest addition to the long list of London's religious sects, which are now almost as many as the days of the year. In London the ChInaman burns his incense stick In more than one ioss-house in the east end. the Ma honetan has his mosque. the Malayan his temple. near St. Georges street east: the Parsees worship the sun in Bloomsbury, the Mormons have a mis- sion in Isliugfon. and in many parts of the metropolis the Buddhists and Ancestor worshipers perform their strange rites.

FRIDAY. AUGUST 2s, 1907.

From January 1 to December S1, 1904, there were committed to reform atory institutions 11.s14 juvenile de- linquents, of whom 10.50, of S5.9 per cent were males and 1860, or Al per cent females. Of the juvenile de linquents, 1,576, or 13.3 per cent were colored. while of the geenral popula. tion of the United States in 1900. the colored formed only 12.1 per cent. These figures would seem only slight ly unfavorable to the colored, but it should be remembered that the col. ored are largely centralized ill states where little. if any provision is made for juvenile delinquents. When the figures for individual states are con- sidered, it appears that in general the tendencies of the colored children toward crime are much greater than those of the white.

SIMPLE AND PRETTY
FASHIONS IN BoNNETs FOR THE
 LITTLE ONES.
Elaborate Frllls and Laces Are no Longer Used on These Dainty Head coverinss--one of the
 Latest Pictures.

More than one mother will welcome the knowledge that the day of the be- frilled, befurbelowed lace hat is over, and that its place has been taken by the simple and pretty linen and pique bonnets and hats. such as the one pic tured on this page. The fact that they may be often and easily laundered certainly adds to their attractiveness, and they are as dainty as they are practical.
 The bonnet shown is of pale pink linen, with scalloped edge and big coin dots, hsnd-embroidered in white.
 The crown is stitched, but it may also be scalloped around the edge. It should have buttons and buttonholes, SO that 1t can be removed when laun- dered. The ties are of soft white null.
 The dress bonnets for small girlles are unusually charming and quaint. Most of them are in poke effects, trim med with tight little ribbons. Others are the cloche or mushroom shape, trimmed with a simple scarf and loop,

PRESIDENTS GHosTLY ADVISERS
Legions of Them Trying Always to
 Gain His Ear.

That President Roosevelt has larg- CT band of spirits working for or through him than any one else in the United States, if not in the world, was the declaration made here to-day by man who has passed practically all his life in the investigation of spir- itualism. The statement was made in absolute good faith.
 T have the very best reason for believing that Theodore Roosevelt lives and moves in the midst of an army of spirits ''Is President Roosevelt conscious of it?" he con- tinued. No I do not think he is. He would probobly laugh at the sug- gestion, but it is true, nevertheless, and this fact explains many of his acts that the ordinary people cannot understand.
 Our investigation shows that spirits dwell in sphere not very diff ferent from our own and that they have pretty much the same feeling about things as they had when on the earth plane. They continue to strive to bring about those things which they failed to accomplish dur ing life You must understand, too, that battles are fought between spirit friends of good and evil just as they are here. The struggles are titanic. The spirits do not lose their interest in mundane affairs. but they are al- ways looking about for some manner of advancing the causes to which they were attracted while ih the body. Of course they seize upon the most powerful medium for this, and who is as powerful as the president of the United States?
 But there Is not always a man in the White House upon whom they eau make deep impression. From their standpoint it is fortunate that MT Roosevelt was chosen president, for there never has been man to the executive chair whom it is so easy for them to reach, or, more correctly, to get the ear of. Of course. as have said, the president does not know he Is granting them audience, but that does not alter the fact.
 "They tug at his elbows and whis- per in his ears. The opponents of certain policies, as well as the ad- yocates endeavor to attract hts atten. ton and support and as the president is very impressionable many of the inconsistencies in his public acts and speeches may be explained by the contrary prompting he receives in this way."-Chicago Daily News.

THE RAGE FOR KHAKI.
This Shade Has Taken Hold of Fem
 Inine Fancy.

Khaki has taken an entirely new hold upon the woman of fashion-a hold that is as strong as was that of the golden browns at the beginning of the season. In fact, there is a sort of frenzy for khaki, despite the fact that it is not always pretty. Some times raw, sometimes brazen and again indistinot of tone, it takes ex- pert handling to be made into the creations that one raves over in the French salons. The shade, however, Is peculiarly becoming to reddish blondes, of whom there are so many among the smart set of Paris and London. One of the smartest speci- mems of khaki silk is shown by Worth, the skirt being plain, save for an inch-wide band of its own material piped with delicate green silk and running around the skirt above the hem. With it is worn a pretty short coat with full sleeves, held with cuffs to match, these turning back quite deep over the sleeves.
 Kimono coats of khaki silk stitched with fancy embroideries are very smart indeed for summer wear. and some of the long models are taken as an excuse for the employment of quantities after quantities of hand some lace in white and neutral tints. Shorter models have long since as- sumed styles of their own. many of which are truly delightful. In one of Laferriere's designs the coat is draped over the shoulders in bertha effect from a semi-ntting back and outlined with silk ball fringe.

 Fascinating bonnets are also shown of soft, open straw. bent in poke shape. The lingerie hat has by no means lost prestige. and many dainty embroidered or founced ones are shown.

Tuesday next, November 9Th, is cleo
lion day, and every citizen of the county
and State who is entitled to vote, should
not fail to exercise his privilege OF
franchise. The present form of ballot
enables him to assert his independence,
and select in his private booth, without
hindrance from anyone. those candidates
whom he favors, and considers best
qualified for the Offices to be filled, re-
gardless of party bias. which is too gen
orally allowed 10 assert itself by the voter.
1t is this independence, when asserted
in voting, that compells the nomination
of candidates well qualified for the posi-
lions sought, and in whom confidence
can be reposed.
Voting for candidate simply because
he is on the party ticket. but who has no
qualifications, is poor form of suffrage
and reflects little credit to the intelli-
gence of the voter, while giving the party
boss, who is in the game for his selfish
interests alone, the opportunity he is
looking for and encouraging him to
select nominees whom he can manipu-
late, and who will give little heed to the
public welfare.
Let every voter assert his independence
by voting for the candidates he considers
best qualified for the offices sought. and
who, in his opinion, will best subserve
the public interest.

The Baltimore News muck-raker has
again opened the sewer and let out lot
of gas in its attempt to discredit the can
didacy of Judge Austin l.. Crothers, the
democratic nominee for Governor, by
attacking his personal character and
political record, but about the only result
the rot it published under glaring head
lines has had on right thinking people is
to lower the journal publishing it in the
opinion of these people. That any news
paper which hopes to shape public
opinion should stop to such discreditable
methods in an attempt to further the
cause of another nominee. whose chances
of success it rather places in jeopardy by
the very nature of its attack on his op-
ponent, shows the hopelessness of lis
cause. is the opinion of most readers of
such campaign stuff.

i Capt. Charles de Forrest Chandler, of
the Signal Corps. U. S. A, who acted as
aid to ]. c. Mccoy of New York, in the
great balloon race held under the aus
pices of the Aero Club of America, aIriv-
ed in Washington on Wednesday from
Annapolis, Md, where his balloon
alighted the same day. Capt. Chandler
is of the opinion that it would be much
better for all contestants if the future
races could be started from a point
farther West than St. Louis, as such a
course would permit much longer
voyage and better records, but that it
would be difficult problem to find such
a place, with the proper facilities for a
race, on account of the difficulty in secur-
ing an adequate amount Of the proper
kind of gas. 1t seems that the present
race required 700, 900 cubic feet of pure
coal gas.
The War Department officials are
elated over the success achieved by the
Mccoy Chandler trip, although it was
not the winning flight, and over the
record Capt. Chandler is making in
aerial navigation. No other aeronautic
voyages are contemplated in the Imme-
diate future.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER l, 1907.

Judge Crothers, who since the night of
his notification, in September, as the
choice of the democratic party for Guber
material houors has been confined to bed
by an attack of typhoid fever and unable
to take any part in the campaign, has so
far recovered from his illness as to be able
to prepare statement setting forth his
position, which was published this week.
Mr.. Crothers states it is his desire to
make his position SO clear that he will re-
ceive no ones vote through any misappre-
hension'of his purposes. Touching on the
election law, which is being made the
paramount issue of the campaign by the
republicans, Mr.. Crothers states he does
not favor a return to the form of ballot
where the candidates of each party are
placed in separate columns, with party
emblem at the top, whereby the voter by
simply placing mark opposite said en-
blem casts his. ballot for the entire party
ticket, as the ballot in its present form,
with the name of candidates grouped
alphabetically, is best rendered to pro-
mote independent voting. which in turn
compells parties 10 nominate better can
didates. While favoring the present form
of ballot he pledges himself, Il elected, 10
strive to have admitted defects in the law
recti6ed, among which is mentioned the
abolition of the provision which causes
the rejection of a ballot bearing some
mark evidentally made unintentionally
by the voter. The enactment of cor
rupt practices law is advocated in strong
terms.
The system OF popular nominations is
favored, and should be extended to can
didates for State offices and to local offices
in all the counties, and the primaries be
under the sanction of the law.
A declaration which may cause some of
the "expectant" uneasiness is that he will
exercise his own judgement in matters of
appointments. and that there will be no
power behind the throne.'
The address closes with the following
hopeful prediction:
Having abiding confidence in the wis
dom and patriotism of my fellow-citizens,
I cannot but feel assured that the fifth of
November will bring victory to the
ancient and historic party to which a
great majority of the white citizens of our
mother State adhere"
