MOULI ING WIVES.

1t is very true that almost any
husband who is afflicted with a
bad wife, or imagines he is, has
only himself to blame for it; has
only proved his own incapacity
for the married life. A wite's de-
mands are usually simple enough,
if not always just-and these CON-
piled with, she is likely to be all
the most exacting spouse could
ask,-to be loved better than any
one else il. the world, and to have
her own sweet way in all things.
If she can achieve the latter end
without seeming to do it, so much
the better; she is philosophical
enough TO be satisfied with the
reality of power, whoever has the
semblance. Besides, the majority
Of women are married at an age
when their characters are still
mobile and plastic, and can be
shaped in the mould OF husbands
will, AT least, so the husbands
are fond of fancying, and if, mis-.
taken beings, they are oftener
shaped than shaping, they are
happy in never knowing it.
TABLE TALKS.
You will find that a great deal
of character is impaired and re-
ceived at the table. Parents too
often forget this. Instead of swal-
lowing your food in sullen silence,
instead of brooding over your busi-
ness, instead of severely talking
about others, let the conversation
at the table be genial, kind, social
and cheering. Don't bring dis
agreeable things to the table in
your conversation any more than
you would in your dishes, For
this reason, too, the more good
company you have at your table,
the better for your children. Ev-
cry conversation with company at
the table is an education to the
family. Hence the intelligence
and refinement and appropriate
behavior Of a family which is given
to hospitality. Never feel that in.
telligent visitors can be anything
but blessing to you and yours.
How few have gotten hold of the
fact that company and conversa-
ton at the table are no small part
of education.

THE FLAG.

WHAT is the meaning it has for you
With its ripping ribbons of red and white
And its clustering their field OF blue
What does it as it breaks in view,
Flashing is coors upon your sight?
DO you it there, where it floats above
AS tho emblem of freedom from prince and
king?
Do as you gaze 0 its folds with the rcvercnt
That a brave has for sacred thing?
Ori it to you but the outward sign
or people, pride and nations might
OF power wherever its stars may shine
And shmmering stripes flow red and
white?
What is the meaning it has for you
AS its bright folds ripple above your head,
With It's clustering on their field of blue
And its glorious ribbons of white and red?
Is it merely challenge to foreign slaves,
A thing be followed when armies fight
And wherever it proudly waves
To to loat splenddly, wrong or right?
see in its beautiful stripes of red
AS it proudly waves and serenely hoats
The blood that its brave defenders have shed,
And its stars calling in clarion notes
Calling to they you,
To keep the faith and to seek the height,
And to serve the flag with love as true
And heart as clean as its stripes white
What is the meaning it has for you,
With It's ripping ribbons of red and white
And its clustering stars their field of blue
What it it breaks in view,
Flashing coors upon your sight?

THE SITUATION ~ OHIO.

There is TO he no treaty of peace drawn and
signed in Oho-certainIy none formulated on
the quid pro quo principle so hOnored among
practical politicians. Public opinion was to
have been moulded by the converting of peace
conference at Columbus, at which, according TO
the intentions of its Originators, harmony was
to be wOOed by judiciOus partition of honOrs
and a wholesale readjustment of interests
Blessed are the peacemakers, says Holy Writ
and the blessing should not be considered
Initiated, perhaps. even if war has been To-
mented chiefly for the purpose of furnishing
an occasion for bringing it to a close. War
is a necessary condition precedent to the re-
invocation of a healing and fructifying peace
1t must prove some miscarriage therefore,
either of the laws Of logic or of those of
political strategy that the leaders in Ohio who
We're first in inviting q trial of strength and
again first In suggesting disarmament and con-
Citation are still again first in trying to dis
credit their own peace congress and decrying
its suggested labors as inopportune and futile
From this distance it looks as if the Dick
Foraker forces in Ohio had virtually confessed
the utter breakdown of their campaign to with
hold the support of the state in the next Re
publican National Convention from Mr.. Taft
and TO give it to Mr.. Foraker. 1t was only six
weeks ago that the senior Senator publicly
asked his Republican constituents TO choose be-
tween himself and Mr.. Taft The friends of the
Secretary of War accepted that challenge
The party machinery of Ohio was i'm the hands
of Mr.. Foraker and Mr.. Dick. Yet, notwlth-
standing this advantage Mr.. Dick and Mr.
Cox, the boss emeritus of Hamilton County
acting in Mr.. FOraker's interest, suggested last
week that an agreement could be reached and
should he reached. among the party managers
giving Mr.. Taft the undivided support of Ohio
for the Presidential nomination. The dupl-
cate call for the Columbus conference was ac-
cOrdingly issued. But because it developed, ap-
parenty, that the conference would indOrSe
Mr.. Taft Internationally and decline TO express
itself on any incidental questions it was sud
denly snuffed out as an i'll judged and nuga-
tory experiment.
Whether its suppression should be taken to
indicate that the antecedent war status is re-
vived or that peace rules once more merely by
default we do not venture to decide. But one
thing is clear, and that is that the great bulk
of the Republican voters of Ohio have ranged
themselves behind Mr.. Taft and that no COM
binatiOn of leaders to defeat him Is now prac
tcable. Even the Dick Foraker machine was
ready to indOrse him and was prevented from
declaring in his favor only by the suppression
of the Columbus conference In so far as
Senators Foraker and Dick represent opposi-
ton TO the administration and its policies, they
are leaders without a following. 1t may be
necessary to wait until next spring for IL poll
of the Republican voters on this issue but
when It Is taken the verdict, unless some miracle
intervenes, will be almost ludicrOusly one sided

Mcbride, who recently died of pneumonia With

of medical doctors in New York City make 1t
"a practice to furnish death certificates for
persons who die under sO-called Christian
Science treatment, thus enabling Christian
Science practitioners to eyade the law of the

not believe that hear of half of the cases
where death follows Christian Science treat

this city who are at all times ready to sign

When the American Institute Of Architects
appointed a committee 10 investigate American
architectural education it took the first step
In bringing TO public notice some interesting
facts about home talent. The committees re-
port was submitted the other day. primarily
TO representatives of the five leading schools
of architecture. It contains some pleasant facts
and even more entertaining proposals. all OF
which will convince the most skeptical that.
in spite Of much loose talk about the
wells Of European architecture and the skill
of foreign architects. our own country takes
the lead ia an all around comparison
Nest lattering of all is the assertion that ION
''the whole architecture is being taught in
america with broader view and in certain
respects more effectively than in any other
country. In q few years the education of
'fered in this country might be looked upon
'as final, except for the absolutely necessary
element Of study and cultivation through
"travel and research" AS this conclusion has
been independently reached by at least five of
Americas leading arcbitects-and perhaps by
fifty, for auglt we know-it may be safely
accepted as proyable fact that American
schools are no longer mere feeders for the
schools Of fine arts in Paris"
Without deprecating ia the least the great
achievements and even greater ambitions of
our architects il is probably true that Amer

American construction is its diversity; every
ting, from the smallest cheapest cottages and
tenement houses up to Newport palaces and
hfry-story Office buildings, has been called for

lesson, as hundreds Of beautiful town and

The public will best be taught to respect the
architect as an expert by having before its
eyes constant reminders Of the artistic and
practical genius of high grade architects. To
increase the number of such designers is the
first ambition of the committee. This is to be
accomplished, according to the report, by the
establishment of a postgraduate school where
gifted students may work in close personal
touch with able masters. Let us hope, though,
that long before such a school shall have been
established the ordinary will at least
have learned TO abhor the gingerbread mon

UNFIT STREET PAVING MATERIALS.
Correspondent Says Asphalt and Wood Are
More Unsatisfactory than Granite Blocks.

To tho Editor of The Tribune
Sir; While the agitation about the dissracefrI
condition of the streets is going on (there Is no
question that they are in bad condition. it seems
u me that the main reason why they are in that
condition is not brought the front in any of the
complaints that are made; that is. the pave
ments which laid down In our streets the nave
ments most suitable for great city like this? l
am sure no man at all conversant with traffic in
this city will say they are. Many OF our streets
are paved with asphalt: all know with what
result-holes everywhere; whether caused by tho
poor quality of the asphalt neglect of the parties
who lay 1t down the city authorities who are
in charge of the work of keeping the streets in
repair, no one seems to know
What we all know is that the holes are there
and that asphalt pavement where there is
heavy traffic is failure. If the streets are wet

NEED OF NATIONAL FLOWER.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is one OF the indications OF our cosrno-
politan population and ultra-practicaI American
nature that this Republic has adopted no flower for
its national emblem. England has chosen the rose,
France the feur-de-lis. Germany the corn flower;
but we have as yet only composite emblem OF
some twenty flowers including the goldenrod ala
hama. Kentucky, Maryland. Missouri. Nebraska,
Pennsylvania the rose illinois, Iowa, New YORK,
North Dakota. the carnation (Ohio>. etc.
We have, it is true. done very well without such
an emblem; We have survived wars and thriven
vastly in peace But il seems more natural 70 have
a national floral emblem and IL IS 70 be hoped that
our several states and territories Will agree upon
some appropriate representative Hover.
