Judging from the present status Ct
national politics this is the most pro-
pitous year for the Democracy 1t has
seen il fifty years. This is the time for
the leaders to move carefully and make
no mistakes. 1t is no time for kicRers
and skulkers. Let each individual do
lis duty to his party and his country
by cal lily submitting TO the wi!Iof the
majority and fall into line with grace
and enthusiasm If each man does his
part there will be doubt about the out

President and Democratic Congress,
The old Republican organization has

campaign contributions. AT last the
old gang has become too impotent to
longer hold together and is falliin &

The gas engine with which the Shark

A writer in Die Woche warns tour
lists against the temptations Of the bill
of fare and commends the old German
adage. What the peasant knows not
he will not eat" Special or national
dishes" he says, should be avoided
because, in order TO appreciate them,
one must be accustomed to them. We
always form an idea as to what these
dishes should taste like, and our first
experience with them Is always dis
appointing. II you must eat these ma
tional products Of the kitchen. order
them in the best hotels or at the first
class restaurants, for there they are
idealized by careful preparation and
superior ingredients.
The writer gives special warning
against the dishes with queer names
which are served in Austria and ad-
vises tourists to ask what these prepa-
rations are before ordering and eating
them AS an example he quotes Hun
garian partridge. which may be
found on nearly all bills Of fare. This
Is really dish made Of pork ''leay-
ings. namely. ears. tails, muzzles, etc.
and as little like the name as the
Engl:shman's cheese preparation is
like Welsh rabbit"
