us. We don't know how far he will go in carrying out Roosevelts poli- cies As compared, man for man, I think lot of men here in Connecti- cut agree with me, Bryan is less of a
 radical than Roosevelt. He hasn t the force that Roosevelt has. Bryan might talk lot, but l have come to the conclusion that he would not try to do very much that would upset business" He also says that from one-third to one-half the old-line Cleveland gold democrats will vote for Bryan in November Diligent in quiry in several places visited in the last two or three days would seem to verify this prediction. The fact that these independent democrats intend voting for Bryan becomes of import ance, though if it signifies a general tendency on the part of that element of the thinking electorate in the east ern states, wleo deserted the demo- cratic party in 1896, and have since voted for the most part the republi- can ticket in national elections.

TROUBLE THAT PAYS.

Even when the housekeeper thinks she has packed her clothes away with every precaution against the all pervasive moth it is we'll to take a look at them in midsummer.
 This is not a specially pleasant prospect. for Camphor chests and cedar boxes are usually in the hot test room in the house. But what is an hour or two sweltering against ruin to ones tailor suit that can do duty a second season if moths do not interefere?
 One hOusekeeper who never has sent even her costiliest furs to the professional packer. makes a prae- tice of taking each article from her camphoT chest in late July. She brushes it thoroughly. looks it over carefully and hangs it on an up- stairs porch while she goes over the entire contents of the trunk.
 Fresh papers are laid between the clothes. a new supply of eampbor added to freshen the original lot and the key is turned until frost arrives. in perfect confidence that the un- locking viII not bring moth holes in its wake.
 A trouble certainly. but a trouble that pays
 Cloth skirts or coats that are used occasionally during the summer may be kept free from moths by taking them out once a week and giving them thorough brushing and airing -PhiIadelphia Press.

A writer in the New York Evening Post has been looking over COnnecti- cut. and while he does not look for Bryan's election he Is not so sure that Taft will win Connecticut. He says: One of the gold democrats with whom I talked, and who for the first time will vote for Bryan this year, gave these reasons for his change of heart: Bryan can't do any harm, anyway. with republican senate to check his actions. He will have infinitely less capacity and less opportunity for making mischief and upsetting busi- ness than Roosevelt has had. Besides. he does not seem as radical and wild this year as he did in 1896. We have got accustomed to the spectacle of radicaIism and a lack of soberness in the White House. Another thing. think that most of us who have not voted the democratic ticket since the free silver campaign had a desire to be regular this year.

 Wonder who it is that is booked for the Ananias club now. It is some time since there has been a new arriv- al added to that gallery made famous by the "big stick" Can it be possible that the Times editor would like to line up the author of the club with those he himself lined up.

Hartford is having an animated discussion over the proper pronuncia- iton of the word chauffeur. As most people have no use for one, it bothers them very little.

Last Thursday night the Azalia

fully costumed in the ancient regal
costumes, marked new musical
epoch among the Denver music low.
ers. Never has a better selection OF
performers appeared at any time nor
place than those appearing on that
suspicious night. Not single. mis-.
take was made, not single hitch in
the program any congregation would
gladly welcomed the presentation
The mere mention of Belshazzar, the
wonderful musical and sacred produc-
ton, was certainly enough to attract
a crowded house. 1t being so replete
in poetry, power and scriptural mean
ing. The stage settings for each
act, the performers, and the difficult
portrayal of the different attitudes,
feelings, pathetic and joyous cannot
be justly criticised in amateur niusl-
cal performers. The earnestness and
enthusiasm of each individual men,
Der was so marked that the audience
seemed to catch the sparks. the proof
of which was evinced by their hearty
applause. The audience being of the
highest musical and intellectual stan
dard, quickly grasped the sacred in
terpretations and easily assisted the
ambitious actors by their hearty and
timely applause, showing not only
their understanding but appreciation
of the actors efforts. The most af-
fected and pathetic parts were the
Imprisonment of Zerubabel, and his
wife's parting for her last time in the
prison cell together with the wound
ing of Belshazzar, while in the heights
of frivolity. The Denver Choral body
brought out that vivid lesson of not
forgetting God in the days of pros
perity. The most skeptical even as
sented silently to this sacred warn
ing.
Great judgment. rare skill and an
unimaginable amount of energy and
work brought forth that great selec-
tion so creditable, not only to Den
yer, but to the entire west. Nine.
Hackley would have been delighted
to be present and see her nurslings
of music performed Mrs. Faulkner,
the pianist, the best in the whole
state, played the music, and in say
ing that, the highest compliment that
words can express correctly inter-
prets our feeling. Mrs. Dishman and
Mr.. Waller, in their untiring, faith
full and skilled instructions along the
dramatic and musical lines, have only
to point to the high standard to
which the club has risen This ques-
ton can be squarely put if thirty fire
voices can work such marvels. what
can a greater number do, when the
community stands behind their ef-
forts to develop their abilities and
entertain and enlighten by word,
song and deed, their capabilities. We
only bid that glorious grand body to
go on and personally congratulate
each individual for belonging.

The Amended AIdrich Bill.

The amendments which will DC made
announced by the Sunday papers, will
on the whole, we think be regarded as
decided improvements. They provide
for the issuing of an emergency cur
rency to the amount of 100000, OG1
The same to be distributed among the
various states of the Union upon the
basis Of their banking capitol and sur
plus. Banks are to DE permitted to
issue currency to the amount of 80 per
cent OF the market value of the gov
eminent, state. county, municipal or
railroad bonds deposited by them for
its security. As first drafted the bill
provided for 4 currency issue of only
80 per cent. of the market value of the
bonds deposited for its security. This
will so far to remove the objections of
those who have contended that if the
banks should all buy acceptable bonds
as basis for currency issue, and could
only issue 80 cents on each $1.W of
market value which such bond carried
there could actually be contraction OF
the currency.
Ii may be said in passing that while
this contention sounds well, and has,
| doubtless, misled many people, the fact
remains that il is yery far from having
the force that it would seem to have.
There was never any lack of good
ponds in the recent financial furry. 1t
was, from first to last, a currency
famine. Again the use of the currency
reserve pro. ided for in the Aldrich bill
is intended to be of temporary use te
''ue over emergency periods-especially
during the crop moving season. There
Is no need that the bonds temporarily
deposited with the Treasury Depart.
ment as basis for currency issues
should be their own. They NAV be
hired or borrowed for the purpose. A

Public Smoking by Women.

| In some parts Of the world, civilized
as well as uncivilized, it is not at al
uncommon for women to smoke il
public places. 1t is a practice in.
dulged in very generally on the con.
tinent of Europe and that too ;oy
women of unblemished character ant
unchallenged social position In oul
own land, we are happy to say, such
a thing is looked upon very differently
The use of tobacco is something which
America taught Europe three
centuries and more ago, but whatever
the practice of the Indian bellies in the
old days Of pocahontas and however
much our great-grandmothers used to
enjoy Whit in the quiet of their
chimney corners, the respectable
American woman of today fails to
follow the Old World example.
This matter has recently been
brought to general notice by the
action of the New York aldermen IN
passing an ordinance which forbids
women TO smoke in hotels, restaurants
and other public places. This
ordinance, to be sure, was passed
under the leadership of Tammany
brave whose ideas of decency are
usually a joke, and it was passed by a
roOmful of men who were smoking SO
vigorously at the time that The
women who were present in opposition

way, refused to give their names 10
the reporters. 4 somewhat significant
fact in connection with their az
pearance in such a cause. In one
respect the new York aldermen were
wise. They showed their appreciation
of the feminine disposition by framing
the law in such way that the women
are not forbidden to smoke but the
landlords, restaurant keepers and
others are forbidden to allow public
smoking by women on their premises
1t is n distinction with difference
But no American woman in New York
or elsewhere who possesses the true
womanly qualities has any desire to
smoke in public, or private either, or
TO frequent Il place where other
women smoke
