PLEASED WITH
OUTLOOK

Chicago, Ill.,, Sept Considerable
satisfaction is felt at Democratic head
quarters here over the result Of the
Maine election on last Monday. The
greatly reduced Republican majorities
In that state have given rise to a
belief that Democratic sentiment is
rapidly spreading all over the United
States. Chairman Mack and his asso-
ciates share the most optimistic views
regarding the situation, and Treasurer
Haskell, who is spending the week
in Illinois, is equally optimistic

MRS. RIDDLE is
ENDORSED

The Shawnee Herald says The la
dies who were appointed by the feder-
ated clubs Of Shawnee for the pur-
pose, have investigated the conditions
existing in club circles over the state
and have decided that there Is but one
course that can be taken for the good
of their candidate, Mrs. George Nc
Kinnis.
Mrs. McKinnis has been announced
for vice president Of the State Fedora
ton Of Women's clubs, and Oklahoma
City and Chickasha are leading in the
fight for presidential honors. Okla
homa City offers Shawnee no encour-
agement for her candidate, and the
Chickasha city federation has indorsed
her. So the result Of the commit
tees deliberations is that Shawnee
must stand by Chickasha and the com
mittee has indorsed Mrs. F. E. Riddle
Of Chickasha for president.
It is claimed by some club women
Of our town that we can only secure
district honors at the coming conven-
ton, and if that be the case it is still
necessary to stand by Chickasha, for
we are in the district with her, and
not with Oklahoma City.
The above statement is official and
published by the Herald as given it
by the committee in charge.

Arrest the Washer.

The arrests made by police of alleged
loafers Washers and oglers last night
should have a deterrent effect on the
practitioners of the offensive habit. At
any rate the police should persist in the
praiseworthy work till the habit is sup
pressed.
This campaign for decency places weight
of responsibility on the police and calls
for the exercise of sound judgment and
discretion. ''Loafing'' on the street is not
easy to clearly define. Men may stand
singly and in groups on the sidewalk or
at the corners without loafing in the lib

nuisance sought to be suppressed is that
which makes it uncomfortable for mod
est women to walk the streets and I'M
safe for inexperienced girls. Men who

comments about them audible to the vic

may be well to try the fine as remedy
at first, but workhouse sentence Is
what culprit of this kind deserves. The
offense is so contemplate that those who

that is possible. Care ought to be exer-
cised to avoid injustice to the harmless

The Republicans and Congress.

In asking for a republican House to sup
port Judge Taft, the President discusses
the interesting question as to whether, in
Legislative sense the country shall go
forward or mark time during the next
few years. OF course he wants it to go
forward. Some of his policies need
clinching, and he feels assured of such
action if Judge Taft reaches the White
House and the republicans control the
next Congress.
There are democratS-former supporters
of Mr.. Cleveland-who will vote for Mr.
Bryan on the strength OF the argument
that il elected he will be restrained by
the republican Senate from going to ex-
tremes. These men are the standpatters
OF today. They want dead halt called
long enough for the country to take meas
ure of the new Bryan. and for the new
Bryan TO take measure of executive Of
flee. They think we have been moving
too rapidly under Mr.. Roosevelt's leader
ship. and that resting spell will benefit
everybody
A democratic House would act as a
brake on Judge Taft's wheel His recon-
mendations on all the leading issues
would come to nothing before BODY con-
trolled by the opposition Mr.. Clark or
Mr.. De Almond of Missouri or Mr.
James of Kentucky. would be in the chair
and the committees would in their action

The Court and the CAMPAIGN

The Supreme Court issue is beginning
to command the attention it deserves In
the large analysis 1t is the most i'm
portant issue in the campaign. Control
of the next House Is only for two years
the limit of that body's existence
President serves four years. Ii laws
prove oppressive or unsatisfactory it is
very easy to get at them and end them
But members of the Supreme Court are
not subject to change. Death. or .volun-
tary retirement. works the change there
An appointment is for life, and the man
who puts on the black silk gown passes
upon the constitutionality of acts of Con-
gress and exercises other large powers.
Gov Hughes at Youngstown, Ohio, and
Mr.. Root at Saratoga both described the
value of this issue. AS distinguished
lawyers both understand it. They want
voters to consider that in their choice for
President this year they may be passing
upon the question of a complete change
in the personnel of the highest court in
the land Some retirements for age are
imminent Other vacancies may be
caused by death. As the presidency goes
this year il may go in 1912, and by 1916
we may have an entirely new court. That
is a proposition worth attention.
The democrats confess the weight OF
the issue by the gossip connecting Judge
-Gray'o . name with the first vacancy on

Herewith. The democrats would take
reached the Senate they would be pigeon
holed. amended in way to cause
their death in conference.
This would be conspicuously true in the
case of the tariff. No democratic House
would report pass a tariff bill framed
to meet the views of Judge Taft, or of
the Senate. The one has committed him
self unqualifiedly to protection, and the
other stands for protection in all of its
republican membership. Could a work
able compromise be effected? One might
be, probably would be, attempted. but the
two sides are far apart failure would
be likely. SO that tariff revision would
probably be postponed. and would become
the paramount issue for the congressional
campaigns of 1910.
For ten years past there have been men
in both houses of Congress known as
White House democrats They have been
on cordial terms with the executive. and
now and then have supported measures of
republican origin. If the democracy car
ries both the presidency and the House
in November will there be developed
White House republicans? There are
western republicans who are nearer to
agreement with Mr.. Bryan than many
eastern democrats, and some will have
seats. in the next Congress. Could they
be brought to support Bryanite policies in
numbers sufficient to turn the scales? The
air is full of questions. Interrogation
points are springing up like toadstools
in season.

Roosevelt.

The President will be more comfortable
in Washington. Oyster Bay is a snug
village, close to the water, and the good
people are all known personally by the
most distinguished of the citizens. But
as respects the national campaign the
place is out of the way. Washington is
right on the big road, and fine town for
politics all the year round. And there is
nothing in the country now but politics.
Why should not the President, along with
everybody else, be interested? He has a
good deal at stake. OF course he is in
terested. and being interested has a per-
feet right to show his interest This is
the place for him; and in the White House
again he will be able to watch the game,
and maybe take a hand, with all Of his
faculties a-tingle.

Hard to Believe.

The suspicion has once in q while found
Judgment in, cynical minds that all craft
and guile are not confined in cities and
that all virtue is not restricted to the
country. y number of city people who
have had business transactions in the
country have harbored this terrible, but.
let it he hoped. this unworthy suspicion.
Are not many books and idyls and other
poems full of such praises and phrases
as The honest countryman.' the simple
rustic the ingenious husbandman. 5"
etc? 1t might be fair to strike an aver
age in fine sentiment and conclude that
there are some crooks in the country
and some "straight4tnen in the city.
\ few instances of'ruStic guile were eX-
posed a recent New York county fair.
A dispatch from Lockport contained this
information:
Schemes TO get possession of the pre-
MUM money paid exhibitors at county
fairs throughout the state We're exposed
here at the Niagara county fair by Mrs.
Perry S. Young of Oneonta y. Y. Judge

partment of home canned goods Mrs
Young found that the jars of supposedly
preserved fruit, which looked so beautiful
from the exterior, were nothing more than
the fruit as picked from the trees. placed
In watery strip. Crab apples and string
beans were found put up this way. Here
tofore the taking has passed unnoticed

examination
Such duplicity as this is worthy of the
Wickedest city man. There can be no
doubt that the countryman who perpe-
trated this swindle had been reading the
city papers or had been associating with
city people. Could such tricks as these
have been learned in the country?

Barnes and Hughes.

Is the war over? Mr.. Barnes, who
fought Gov. Hughes so hard at Saratoga,
will introduce him to an Albany audience
tomorrow evening, and listen to a political
speech by the governor. The two men
may yet be friends. If Gov Hughes Sc
cures a second term and it appears that
Mr. Barnes was of assistance in the con-
test why should they not come to know
each other better? Gov. Hughes will
never be bossable. but Mr.. Barnes might
find room for the exercise Of his talents
outside of the governors Office. Anyhow,
with Mr.. Chanler in the governors chair,
and the victorious organization in charge
of Murphy and Corners, there would be
nothing in it. for Mr.. Barnes. So he
may learn to love Gov. Hughes, with all
the latters faults.

The River as a Playground.

The bathing beach committee of the
Washington Playground Association re-
ports to the president of the association
i'm favor of enlarged bathing facilities.
The committee would have bathing
beach on the tidal basin. one on the
right bank of the Eastern branch one or
more swimming pools and an improved
beach for colored bathers. 1t submits
with favorable comment an item for the
pay of teachers 10 instruct women and
children in swimming. The committee
would have Congress appropriate SI9.0eo
for next wear. an increase of SG4,0JD
over the appropriation for last year. The
committee also expresses the opinion that
swimming should be taught in connection
with public school education. swimming
pools being established at convenient
places
1t is probably true that Washington
does not appreciate to the full the noble
river that flows past it and has neglected
the stream to the east of ii, that was
unee picturesque and ought again 10 be-
come So
Not so large a percentage of Wash
inStonians today use the Potomac for
purposes of recreation and health as of
the Washingtonians of an earlier time
The reasons are numerous. AS Wash
inston grew it. like most other cities,
turned its chief waterway into sewer
Ii lined its water front with wharves,
most of them ugly and irregular. and in
time many of them became dilapidated.
Wood wharves. coal wharves, lumber
wharves and fish wharves are not ideal
recreation spots. Then the age of the
trolley came, diverting thousands of
people TO the woods and fields that had
been inacces sible except to horse owners.
The Potomac flats improvement in its
earlier stages turned the shadows of the
river into giant mud puddles. and hosts
of people avoided the river through fear
of malaria. for a few years ago it was
believed that malaria came from marshes
and stagnant water instead of from the
mosquitoes that breed in such places.
Now that pretty park land is rising out
of the river shoals, sewage is being car
ried farther down stream and various
river front improvements are under way
or projected. 1t is easy to think once
again of getting the full measure of bene-
tit from the grand old river Public bath
ing facilities ought TO be generous and
first class.
Swimming, under proper restriction,
having for it's aim the safety OF the
swimmers, should be encouraged. The
younger generation is going in for ath-
letics and encouragement should be ex-
tended. Stronger children will make
stronger men and women and the race
will become stronger. Open-air sports,
not carried to excess, promote health and
indirectly morals. When boys get to the
point of taking pride in their physical be-
ing they are less apt to yield to vicious
habits When people get the cold water
habit they learn the luxury of cleanliness,
and here is another aid to health and
strength. The river might divide honors
with the field as a place for wholesome
sport.
If the bathing beach committee cannot
get all it desires at the next session of
Congress ii should keep stout heart.

Exiles No Longer.

From the Louisville Courier-Jourpal.
In the numerous articles appearing from
time to time on the progress of the home
cure of tuberculosis nearly all the en-
phasis is made upon the purely scientific
side-upon the wonders of modern medi-
cine, of modern experiments and modern
achievements. And that the scientific
strides in the treatment of tuberculosis
are little short of marvellous is not to be
denied. 1t is greatly to the credit of the
medical profession that it has demon
strated i'm the abstract the durability of
the disease, and then in the concrete has
wrought the cure at the patients own
home. But there is the sentimental. the
mental. the" heart side of the revolu-
ton which, while spoken of little, is not
its least important aspect.
Under the home treatment ii is no
longer necessary to make eXiles of loved
