SAILING UNDER FALSE CoLoRs.

ade of wolves in Sleeps clothing
Here is Bryan advocating a tariff for
revenue only, which has repeatedly
brought disaster and want to this
country by shutting down our
factories and throwing hundreds of
thousands of laboring men out of en-
ployment, and yet in speech made
by him in Missouri one day last week

newspapers that were bowling in
favor of the election of Stephenson for

DISTRICT ENDORSES KoPP.

! Mr.. a. w. Kopp is receiving a
very enthusiastic reception through
out the district in his campaign for
Congressman for this district on the
Republican ticket. He stands for
Republican principles, through and
through, and he can be counted upon
to advocate changes that will appeal
to the interests of the public.
Congress is largely Republican and
Democratic Congressman, do what
he will. be as energetic as he may,
and the present Congressman certain
ly has made his best efforts, cannot
represent the district, get the results
that Republican representative can.
Old Grant is Republican under nor
NAL conditions. Mr.. Kopp is a
bright, energetic gentleman, clean
and conservative mall ways-a man
of whom Old Grant and the Third
District will be proud. Like LaFol-
lette, Mr.. Kopp if successful, will
have begun his pc liticaI career young
in years. and we feel confident. that
like LaEoIlette, heFwill make his in
fuence felt. Mr.. Kopp is man
that the Third District can rely upon
to serve it's best interests.
The fact that he. has won out in
the primaries over such gentlemen as
Judge. Mahoney and the Hon. Atley
Peterson is certainly a very high COM
mendation of his abilities as a very
capable representative.
Republicans of all factions are in
unanimous accord that 'Kopp is the
man for Congress. "a man of the
people and for the people. -Platteville

Tenn, has a thermometer fixed upon
its wall, whose highest point numbers

whose mercury is set at the number III

startling about this to look at in black

effort in mind it might be we'll to

that less has been accomplished in the
rway Of labor legislation and that more
privileges have been given't0 capital
and to the employers of labor in demo
cratic states than in any other. Most
states of democratic administrations
nave refused to give even the slightest
Drotection to child Labor and have re-
fused to pass laws limiting the hours
of labor, and have made their conf
lrnonwealths the territory in which
human life and human toll counts for
the least and where the command OF
the capitalist and his dollars are most
arbitrary and most effective. There is
nothing in the history of The demo

appeal to the sympathy OF the sup

Every day one hears a remark to
the effect that this is the most quiet
presidential campaign they ever saw.
One of the reasons why it is a
quiet campaign is that it costs a
lot of money to hire speakers, pay
railroad and hotel bills. hire halls
and bands and pay for advertising,
and committees of all parties find
themselves woefulIy short of funds
with which to pay the bills of a
campaign of education. But the
people are thinking the situation
over for themselves and reading the
newspapers, and will no doubt settle
the result right when election day
arrives.

Some one has sent from Milwau
lkee to the Boston Transcript special
dispatch declaring that LaFollette
Repub leans will vote for Bryan, and
that therefore Wisconsin is a doubt
full state. This is a serious impeach-
ment of the integrity of Senator La
Toilette who, at Madison, introduced
William II. Taft to his townsmen,
heartily endorsing him as progressive
Republican, and who has declared his
intention of stumping Wisconsin for
Taft. It will arouse Indignation in

The Washington School for Boys is
complete school. receiving boys Of any

All educational authorities agree that
bright sunshine, fresh air and plenty OF
outdoor exercise are absolutely necessary
for the best physical development Of a
growing boy. and that without such de-
velopment the best mental and moral
training is Impossible. In compliance
with this theory, the Washington School
has been placed in the country and has
been provided with extensive athletic
grounds of more than thirty acres. 1t is
situated on Wisconsin avenue.
While the school possesses these adj
vantages, unusual for a day school, and
impossible for one located in a built-up

ton of Washington that most of its
pupils are able to leave their homes after

Miss Sallie Lewin's school at 1901 U

girls who have been under tuition there.
Not only do Washingtonians give Miss
Levin great praise for her success at the
head of a school, but prominent men from
all sections of the country have written
her letters of commentator.
Her school has three departments, prl-
mary. preparatory and academic. The
primary department is both for girls and
boys and includes studies in language.
reading. writing, arithmetic, geography,
ETC., through the Third Reader and sim
pie fractions The preparatory depart
ment is distinctly a school of tutoring.
In this department children from the
fourth grade of the public schools, or of
equivalent advancement, up through all
the grades, and older boys and girls from
first year of the high school, through col
lege preparatory studies, are carefully in
structed, and prepared to maintain their
standing in classes, or take any special
examination for promotion. The academic
department is for both boarding and day
pupils and has a regular course of study
leading to graduation, and is for girls
and young ladies.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made for a
class of older girls in academic studies,
and pupils will be received for special
branches. Lessons in vocal and instru-
mental music or painting may be had at
the school and a dancing class is being ar
ranged for children one afternoon in each
week.

art, trade or profession is the love of it,
though love alone will by no means bring
success in 1t. The love must be reciprocal
that is, the vocation must desire its fol-
lower, for reasons which there is no find
ing out. and which must remain al much
a mystery to him as to any of his wit
nesses. "She was Noteworthy says
Heine, in treating of more passionai
case, land he loved her; but he was not
Noteworthy, and she loved him not"
The fond youth, university bred or self
made may have ever so great desire
for journalism. but journalism will have
no desire for him. unless he has the pc
culiar charm for it which commands af-
lection in all cases. He can only prove
the fact by trying. and by longing to try
with longing that excludes the hope Of
every other reward beside the favor Of
the art he wishes to espouse. Riches,
fame, power may be in the event, but
they are not TO be in the quest. The wish
to succeed in 1t for its own sake must be
his first motive, and the sense of success
In it must be his first reward. Those
other things must be left to add them
selves. without striving for them. So
far as he strives for them they will alloy
and dilute his journalistic success.

WASHINGTON WOMAN'S WORK
LITERARY BUREAU MAINTAIN
ED BY INA CAPIToLA EMERY.
Instructions Given in Short Story
Writing by Former Society Edi-
tor and Writer.

In the educational world Miss Ina Cap
ftola Emery in broad sense stands pre-
eminent in the art of training the literary
aspirant. Always a keen lover of books
and possessing a wealth of energy and a
graphic pen, she has been successful from
the very beginning of her literary career
and has been able to furnish from her
own experience and her knowledge of the
field in general a methodical outlined
method of instruction that has enabled
her thousands of students to make for
themselves a place in the fascinating
realm Of literature. Instructors in music
and painting are almost beyond number
ing, but up to a few short years ago the
literary ambitious had no opportunity to-
find a helping hand in an instructor, and
knew of no method whereby the talent they
possessed could be made a means of live
lihood. 1t fell to the lot Of a Washing
tonian to open up this new channel of
educating the taste and the faculty of
writing in a finished style for publication
anu MISS Emery's students are now num-
bered in every state of the Union and
seven European countries. and the student
body is made up of college professors
ministers, lawyers, doctors and the lit
erary ambitious in almost every walk Of
life.
Miss Emery's System.
The course in short-story writing origi-
mating in the mind of Miss Emery is the
most unique and complete system extant
taking the student step by step in the art
Of story building. until, to the amazing
interest of the student, complete struc-
ture in story form Is produced from
chaotic mass OF material, and all through
the working out of circumscribed set of
rules and laws impossible to fail in re-
suits.
The system of instruction is an outline
diagram method. at once fascinating and
gaining In interest as the study progress
es, for at the very beginning Miss Emery
realized that the artistic temperament Of
the literary genius needed something more
than wordy lectures In cold stereotype
form. Accompanying the mathematical
system of instruction are self-explanatory
lectures on story building. giving a work
ing knowledge of the making of finish
ed style in story writing, and before
student Is required to write story the
plan Of a story is outlined, the means of
evolving a plot explained, after which
faculties of the student along lines that
lift him out of the darkness of ignorance
into the light of trained intelligent
knowledge of the work in hand.
Miss Emery began her literary career
as society editor of a Washington paper
ence ranges from that of historian to
weaving stories of fact and fiction. She
is keenly alive to the opportunities pre-
scented in daily life for the working out of
stories Of romance and her success Is
largely due to her concentrated, con-
scientious efforts. the underlying princi-
pie Of the literary profession.
Miss Emery maintains literary studio
in her home at 400 Chaplin street and also
an Office in the Colorado building.

She was born in 1874 near lie Mars,
and was living at Metz at the time the
war broke out. She offered her services
as scout and was accepted. At first
she drove about the country in cart,
and after some time adopted masculine
attire, which would permit her more
easily to move about among the SOL
diers.
Her cIeverness in avoiding detection.
as well as her courage, was soon recog-
niZed, and she was charged with car
rying important dispatches to the far
thest outposts along the frontier viii

the risk of being caught and shot as
spy.
She was. in fact, captured one day as
she was carrying three important mes
sages through the enemy's lines to the
commander of the besieged forces at
Thionville. She was searched by the
Germans, who, to their honor be it said.
treated her most decently and sent her
away free, but with strict orders not
to cross their lines again.
