The democratic party in the fitch
congressional distrcict is IN splendid
condition to meet th common enemy
in the forthcoming campaign. The
copv ssional committee that was Or
ganized at Hobart Tustday Is thor
oughly representative Of democracy.
In the selection Of candidate, every
man will be given fair play, and the
convention called to meet at Hobart
wlll be notable in the history of the
new state, A delegate convention Is
especially suited to the situation that
confronts us IN Comanche county.
This county has more than one cand-
idate. Let them get out and make
fight for the delegation and when
the democracy Of the county goes in
to the convention, it will be for one
or the other. 1t would be farcical
for the Comanche county democracy
to hav more than one "favorite SON.
in the congressional race and it will
present but one man to the Hobart
convention.

William G. Patric, Supposed to Have

DETROIT, Mich. Sept. 21.-Ta-

He would walk up and down the

where he was going. He was ticket

an attempt was made to talk 10
him he would only laugh in a silly
way"
The young man lapsed into I'M

police headquarters. He appears to
be under 80. A search revealed let

was signed Mollie e. Patric with the
Tacoma address. Another thing
found was speech which it appears
Patric was to make at the Epworth
League convention to which he was
bound. 1t is the theory of the train
crew that he went crazy studying

AUTOGRAPH" STOCKINGS.

AUTOGRAPH STOCKINGS.

patch.
Autograph hosiery" is the inscrip-
ton on a placard shown in the win
dow at Fifth avenue shop. Ex-
hibited under the card are several
pairs of silk stockings bearing aut-
ographs worked in silk of a pretty
contrasting color. In these stock
ings the fashionable young woman
carries the silken autographs of her
chums. Every girl she knows is
asked to embroider her name in silk
of divers hues on one of tine stock
ings. The signature is written with
marking ink just as it would be at
the end of letter, and then worked
over with bright threads. Naturally,
the stockings, by the time they have
been autographed thoroughly, do not
match. But the general effect is
harmonious and the wearer has the
satisfaction of knowing that she
bears the sign manual of every girl
she likes, and perhaps few she does
not. 1t is said many girls of fashion
have thus transformed their eX-
tremities into peripatic auto graph

Hire a Jap, or Siwash, and send

ment on the contents of our lov
priced high class magazines, would
reach the conclusion that the Amer
lean people were thoroughly convinc-
ed that they ought to be ashamed
of everything in their national life.
A wholesome reaction against this
tendency has set in. Many OF us are
coming to see the truth that We have
a great deal to be proud of-that
this nation is really an enormous
success, and more Of a success for
its people on the whole than "
other in history. Yet there is a
condition existing among certain Of
our people which gives real cause
for national shame. Booth Tarking-
ton put his finger on it when he
said at New York the other day:
q am ashamed OF some of my fell
low Americans when they find them
selves abroad / speak of the class
that makes historical attempts to
misally its daughters to the morally
strabismic and financially Gecrepit
titular excrescences of the old world.
Respectable Americans, whose grand
fathers fought for the abolition of
monarchical forms and fads, may be
found prostrating themselves before
the shallow-pated holder of an in
differently polished coronet.'
The danger and the destruction OF
happiness that await the American
girl who consents to be married to
the only kind of European noble
man" who cares to marry her have
received striking illustration of late.
In the nature of things no marriage
of this kind can really happy for
the American girl.
1t may be set down as rule with
out exception that no European man
who has, or wishes to retain. the So
cial position accorded to the member
of the European nobility ever marries
an American girl for the reason that
a decent American man would marry
her-for the reason that she is the
one woman in the world for him.
She is not and never can be really
Of his European world. and when he
goes out of his world and into a
foreign world for q wife he does
not see .er for herself. but for
himself.
1t must also be remembered that
he European attitude toward NO.
man is different from the American
attitude. 1t is rare that European
nan in Europe thinks of anv woman
as his equal He may fatter some
woman because she possesses the
,ower that he fears or wealth that
lie desires, but he does not regard
my woman as American men regard
women.
The American girl can set it down
as an invariable truth that the mot
| i've of any European sutton who has,
or even claims to have, any high
social position in his own country
and who wishes her to live with him
n that country, is not love for her
but the desire to exploit her in some
way; most often, financially.
