THE POSTCARD HABIT.

Like most other good things, the
postcard habit has been carried to
excess. and there is some revulsion OF
sentiment in regard to it, both as to
its extent and as to its character II
IS now made the means OF the trans
mission and propagation OF all sorts
Of slnng and even of indecency. While
the pictures were those OF places ana
the thoughts expressed in words were
elevatlng, the postcard habit was y
source Of real pleasure 10 a great NAM
persons. But the invasion Of slans
and suEgestiveness has spoiled all that
and transformed delight into an OF.
fenBe.
Many offensive postcards are being
sold and sent through the mails, and
the activity OF the authorities has
come none too soon. Neither the
city nor the federal government can
lend itself, even in tolerance, to any.
thing that initiates against good
morals.

THE VIRTUE OF PLAIN SPEAKING

The virtue of plain speaking in In.
ternntional affairs is again beinB
tested in the Orient by Secretary
Taft. Brushing aside all stilted and
unsatisfactory forms of diplomacy, ne
told the Japanese in his speech at
TOXIC that the United States would not
sell the Philippines and could not, In
Justice to the Filipinos or in accord
with the American sense OF duty
think Of any such project If the
statement was displeasing to the Jap
anese. no evidence of such effect has
been produced. Commendatlon was
given to the whole speech, that sentl.
ment included; yet the Japanese are
accused of having designs on the
archipelago.
In China. the other day, the secre'
tary repeated the statement, mueh' u
has been stated, to the pleasure of
those Chinese who fear Japanese ag-
gression Both in japan and China
the statement has been accepted as
the final word of the presen. admin.
istration. and one fruitful course OF
agitation and disquletude has been
removed There is less likelihood
of the development Of a question In
the Philippines and out, leading to un'
pleasantness and possibly a clash at
arms. Everybody has notice OF the
attitude which the United States Will
assume. for time at least, with re-
gard to the future of the Philippin ~,
A statesman less wise might have
clouded the issue with ambiguity and
indirection and left the forces for evil
nj work. Plain speaking pays, even
IN, diplomacy

LECTURE ON M'KlNLEY
Delivered Last Night by Or. Philo.
Paid Dead Statesman Beauti-
fui Tribute.

Rabbi Isadore e. Philo. OF Akron.
addressed a meeting last night In the
old Masonic hall, corner OF North
and Market streets, upon a theme.
which merited vastly larger audi
ence than was out 10 hear him. The
subject Of Dr. Philos address was,
the life. character and example OF
William Mckinley.
DIR. Philo depicted In a most elo-
quent and glowing tribute, those ele7
ments In the character OF Mckinley,
which from childhood TO the hour OF
his untimely taking of, made him a
conspicuous yet modest figure in all
affairs of home, state and nation. I'm
all walks of life, Mckinley had few
equals and no superiors, he repre-
sented the highest type OF American
gentleman. His life was vital, liy-
ing force for good, the influences OF
which were for the uplifting OF hu-
manity and the maintaining OF the
majesty OF Gods law" said DIR. Philo
He had within him the elements OF
true immortality and by noble exam
pies he gave, for succeeding genera
tions, he has given TO the world a
legacy OF indestructable force for good.
This eulogy of DR.. Philo upon Nc
Kinley covered every phase OF the
life Of the martyred president and was
not only comprehensive In its scope,
but concise and eloquent beyond ade-
quate description.
Rabbi Philo Is a most gifted ard
fascinating orator and who must be
heard to be appreciated.

NEW YORK SHOPS
Are Complaining Of Lack Of Buyers
Among the Rich Of Gotham
Society.

New York, Oct 13.-some OF the
Fifth avenue shops, especially those
which have moved from much less
expensive quarters further down town,
are complaining about the protected
country house season. At Newport
alone more than 100 of the big cot
tages are still In commission. and
the same story cones from the BerK-
shlres and other resorts OF New
Workers. A few years ago Newport
was practically deserted by cottagers
before October, and the Berkshire
set returned 10 town soon after that
This year Thanksgiving day house
parties will be almost as numerous
az Fourth OF July parties few years
ago. This is hard on the shopkeep-
ers who depend on that trade. and
worse is 10 come, because by the time
the eastern and northern resorts are
abandoned II In time for the fashion
able TO fit south. One OF the big
gest OF the New Fifth avenue shops
has $50 less salespeople employed
than II had when II occupied Its Tor
mer downtown place. No wonder the
shopkeepers groaned when, the other
day, Mrs, C. r Huntington arrived
from abroad and declared personal
purchases upon which she paid sl0,-
900 in duties. With one set Of the
rich wearing out their old frocks In
the country, and the other frankly
admitting that they find II cheaper 10
shop abroad and pay duty, than TO
shop here, there are going TO be some
grand old bargain sales announced
shortly.

 If man surrendered his arm to be shaken by one horizontally, by anothea perpendicularly and by another with a strong grip, he could not fail to suf fer severely by it. But if he would shake and not be shaken, grip and not be gripped. taking care always to squeeze the hand of his adversary as hard as the adversary squeezed him. he would suffer no inconvenience by it can generally anticipate strong er'3, from strong man. take advantage of him by being quicker than he an's seizing him by the tips of his fingers This is stated playfully. but it is ali true
