Better Than.Beauty'
June %, 1908.

Originality is not valued enough
among women.
How many girls schools teach it?
Are the principals not anxious. on the
other hand, to carry out as many care
fully finished replieas of the same
model as possible?
And yet originality counts for more
than beauty. Men are the most con.
ventional creatures on earth in regard
to their notions .of womankind, and
yet how soon the modern man ties of
the type of bud one sees by the dozen
in drawing rooms.
That remlnds me of story | read
once of a mother who had a very plain
daughter she wished to marry well.
Realizing that the girl had no chance
compared with the other pretty girls
in her set. She started out at the yery
first to give her reputation for origi-
nality, and to this end she dressed her
in Paris frock of golden brown null
for her debut instead of the tradition
al white.
Brown was the girls color, and the
oddly of the thing made hit. From
that time on her reputation was made.
Somuch for being diflerenX from
other people.

! Ia October, 1885, seven ronths after
] Grover Cleveland entered upon his
duties ss the first Democratic President
since the days Of Buchanan rheo--
dore Roosevelt, according to the
4 Washington Herald, contributed an
article to symposium in the Forum
on the administration of Grover CIeve-
land.
! OF Cleveland himself Mr.. Roosevelt
at that time said:
1T is impossible here to discuss MT.
! Cleveland's appointments at len 9Th; /
can only briefly refer to the most inn
portant.
! ''To speak of Mr. Lamar naturally
brings up the question Of Southern ap-
| pointments. The mass of the northern
people feel no bitterness whatever to-
ward the gallant ex-; 'onfederates Of
the South. We readily acknowledge
that they thought their cause was just,
and we have nothing but praise for
their heroic eonstancy and brilliant
courage. Yet we feel sure that his
tory will declare the war of the rebel
lion to be of all modern wars the most
important and also the one in which
the dividing lines between right and
wrong were sharpest drawn.
$50 with jefferson Davis, who en-.
joys the unique di stinction of being the
only American with whose public
character that of Benedict Arnold need
not fear comparison.
Gan item appeared recently in the
papers to the effect that certain Of
ficeseeker was relying solely upon a
letter in his favor from Jefferson Davis,
and, as Mr.. Lamar has long posed as
the professional apologist of the latter,
the item was very probably correct.
"In criticising Mr.. Cleveland, it must
be remembered that while IN one re-
spect he is doubtless an entirely
indeLendant man, IN another he
is simply the most important cog in
what is Familiarity knewn as the Man
mug Dldclluc.
"That Mr.. Cleveland has done bet
ter than most other Democrats would
have done, and that he has done as
well as his party would let him,is pro-
badly true, and his numerous short
comings and failures simply show that
unaer the most favorable circum-
stances the Democratic party, as at
present constituted, is not fit to be i'm
trusted with the care of the national
Government.
"We can readily appreciate, though
we may not at all agree with the at
titude of those who at the last election.
primarily to rebuke the republican
party, even at the cost of four years
Democratic administration, provided
the latter was under so comparatively
safe man as Mr.. Cleveland, but most
certainly events have wholly fals1fied
the hopes of those who believed that a
change from Republican to Demo
cratic administration would be in it,
self change for the better"

nrxan a Conservative

Arthur English, Of Charleston w,

tiles on equity jurisdiction of tie Unit
ed States courts in this country, is in
Omsha, says TIE orld-Herald, OF
that city. Mr.. English has been WISH
tor Of Mr.. Bryan at Fairview, and is
one of the most trusted of Mr.. Bryan's
friends. Mr.. English's father, the late
Thomas Dunn English, author of
HBen Bolt . was in Congress with Mr..
Bryan, and was one of the Iatter's de-
voted admirers.
81 am conservative, said Mr.. En-
glish, "aDd therefore desire Mr. Bryan
to be elected to the presidency. The
common opinion expressed by the
people who do not really know Mr.
Bryan is that he is radical. This is IN
my opinion an error. Mr.. Bryan is not a
radical, unless it be radical to oppose
wrong. Mr.. Bryan is really conserva-
tive, and those who expect him to do
things, if president, that Will overturn
law and order will be very much mis-
taken.
"Mr. Bryan is too big and broad not
to realize that power is not given to
one to abuse, but to use beneficially;
any power entrusted to hira him will
be welded with conservatism, judg-
ment and for the good of the many.
"No abiding corporation or mil
lionaire need fear Mr.. Bryan simply
because it is corporation nor because
be is millionaire, but all the lawless
characters who violate federal law will
feel the power to punish wrong if with
in the jurisdiction of the president TO
enforce.
Mr.. Bryan, if President, will not
violate the constitution nor the acts of
congress to satisfy whims, for he is too
big, tso we'll balanced and too cautious
of public interest to have any whims.s

long acquaintance with his opinions.
he is man of remarkably good judg
ment in public affairs and will display
a caution and wisdom in handling
public questions that will surprise
those who lerroneously call him radi-
cal
"Mr. Bryan realizes, in my opinion,
that this is a great country and that
its interests are linked together in such
a way that to injure one affects anoth-
er, and the honest railroad company
and the honest farmer, the honest cor
poration and the honest workiDgman
will alike be thought of when questions
arise that may affect either

MELBOURNE, Aug. 81. The
streets of Melbourne late tonight
were filled with surging good
natured crowd, numbering hundreds
of thousands, all out to do honor to
the visiting Americans who arrived
here on Sunday aboard the battleship
fleet. The crowd was SO great on
the principal thoroughfares that
many women tainted and several per-
sons were injured. The federal gov
ernment tonight rendered a banquet
to the admiral and senior officers of
the visiting warships at the parlia
ment house, at which Lord Northcote,
governor general of the common
wealth, and Prime Minister Deaken
made brilliant speeches. Rear Ad-
miral Sperry replied on behalf of the
American navy. Rain commenced to
fall at late hour, causing precipi-
tuous rush homeward. Dense crowds
converging toward railway stations
forced women and children into per-
ilous positions. Many were extri-
Gated with difficulty after being con-
siderably bruised. Two persons were
seriously and several Others slightly
