DON'T WANT VOTES FOR TAFT.

Pity the poor Americans Anxious
TO place the names of Republican cleo
tors on their local tickets, they at
tempted to stampede the newly-organ-
lied Taft club into adopting an amend
ment to its code of organization which
would sanction their electoral scheme,
only to have it killed by the chairman's
ruling against il.
Joseph Lippman. chief persuader pre-
sented the plan 10 the Taftites and
made quite an ingenious, not to say in
genuous, plea for its acceptance. but
the movement ended right there James
Devine, whilom American" and pres
ent Republican. presided and applied
the chloroform to the Lippman pro-
posal. Then the Americans" left the
presence for the outer darkness.
AS near as can be surmised, the Re-
publicans are afraid to permit their
electoral nominations TO go on an
American" ticket for fear it might
help the Americans" in their local
fight. That is to say, the Republicans
than have their county nominations lose
some American" votes that may pos
sibly come to them if they monopolize
the electoral nominations for their own
slate.
1t goes without saying that a good
many Americans who are normally
Republicans. will be lost 70 the Taft
ticket II they have to scratch their own
ticket TO vote for the Ohio man. About
90 per cent of them are Republicans.
anyway. so the net result of the Taft
clubs performance will be a serious
loss 10 the Republican presidential
ticket.
In the meantime it seems likely the
Americans" will make the same effort
with the Democrats, that is, they will
try 10 place in the field ticket with
Bryan electors and american" local
nominations on it. The Herald has
heard no expression of opinion from
party leaders on the subject, nor does it
assume TO speak for them. but it sees
no objection to any method which will
secure votes for Bryan in a legitimate
way. II the Americans want to have
a chance to vote for Bryan on their
own ticket or any other ticket. it would
seem reasonable as well as polite to let
them have the chance.
Besides. it is going to be a little hard
for the simon-pure american" to vote
for Taft, that is. il the Americans
really mean what they say. AS part of
the Roosevelt administration, he is
identified with the effort that kept
Smoot in his seat through the influence
of Roosevelt and the Republican ma
tional committee. He went to Idaho
and spoke in behalf of what the Amer
leans" called a "hierarch's" ticket.
whatever they meant by that; and he
Is certainly persona grata TO the Smoot
machine here. Most of the American"
leaders have voted for Bryan before,
and like him well enough to vote for
him again, so il may be as we'll TO let
the Republicans run their little old ma
chine as an exclusive organization to
which none but Smoot Republicans
need apply.
OF course. If the Democrats are gen.
erous enough to let the Americans
vote for Bryan electors. it will be on
the express understanding that the ar
rangement is permitted solely for the

parents are expected to buy her trousseau, furni-
ture for the house, and her spinning wheel. The
day of the wedding these things exhibited, but
at the bridegrooms house.
Though in Switzerland no matchmaking Is done,
young man must often prove to the girl he is
worthy of asking for her hand. The girls always
have the privilege of saying Eyes" or NO., though
In some places the choice of bridegroom Is
stricted to their own locality. In some districts
man must lead the goats up and down the noun
tain to show the girl he can work for her. In other
towns where the haying is done it is his part to
stack up all the hay and pile it into the barn.
Though she helps him in his long hours of toll, he
is expected to do most of the work. Still he tolls
on bravely feeling that he is being rewarded sufi-
GENTLY by pleasant word friendly smile, and
that if the work is we'll done he has chance to win
her as his wife.
Until recently in Egypt girls and boys were mar
ried when they were young. 1t was common for
girl to be married by the time she was IA and a boy
when Is. But they now wait few years longer.
The parents always select the man they wish for
the son-inlaw The girl is satisfied to know that
she is going to have new dresses and great deal

There are no people so particular about selecting
husbands and wives for their children as the MoOrS.
Their sons and daughters have no right to say
who they will and will not marry. For after the
parents have chosen, word Of complaint might re-
suit in death son dare never take wife unless
his mother approves, and she is usually chosen
from the young women Of their own clan. But
when they cannot find a girl in the village who
pleases them they seek one among other clans.
But the young man is supposed to be too timd to
court alone the girl whom his mother chooses, and
so he usually takes several friends with him. 1t is
their duty to sing the girls praises in the hope of
giving him courage to carry the courtship.
But the formal engagement must take place in
the presesce of the head 1t is before him that
the young man hands over the sum he has agreed
to give the girls father This varies according to
what he can afford the beauty of the bride, and
their social position The bride usually buys the
trousseau with the money the young man gives
her father.
Moorish girls are exceedingly fond of pretty
clothes and plenty of handsome jewelry, their
trousseaux are often wonderfully elaborate. On

Among primitive peoples marriage usually
Is more nsistent and girls are courted in even
