WAITING TIME.

The New York Times is one of the big newspapers of the country. and is presumably able to hold it's own against attacks from any quarter, ex- cept from the women. but we predict that it is liable to get into trouble if 1t isn't careful In what 1t says about them and their styles of adornment. "The architecture of the new Spring hats is amazing" our contemporary de- clares:
 ''The foundations are not as large as they were when the revolt against feminine hats among theatregoers led to the establishment vf the hats off" rule in our theatres. But the super structures are prodigious masses of feathers. laces. artificial flowers and fruits, and the amputated members of birds and beasts. They look well at a distance. but near at hand their ef- feet is displeasing. Properly to dis play her new headgear. the woman of the Spring of 1908 should have an acre of space around her.
 Now. if any one of th~ fash ionable danes should care to notice this critic at all they would probably say to him. Cease. viper. you snaw a file" or something of the kind. for the man who undertakes to set the style of woman's fashionable wear Is mp against a propo- sition that few can successfully deal with. If she wishes to wear hat that will brush the cobwebs from the sky, or one that will take up all the room On the sidewalk. that is just the hat she will wear. so there now!. The Times man may as we'll tackle some- thing easy. But what we have copied does not exhaust The Times mans eff frontery, for in another article it says:
 It has been the custom to treat hu- morously of the discomfort and incon- venience caused to others by the large hats of womankind. But 1t Is in no mirthful spirit that we now record q protest against them. They are dis CaTueu Tn theatres, put LHcI dTG WOi IT in church and at lectures, and one of them, of the new style. will obstruct at least twenty-fiv feet of the view of platform or stage of person sitting behind it. Women wearing these things should be compelled to remove them indors. Two of them at a private reception will crowd a room of ordinary size. They are not beautiful. because they are appropriate to no occasion un- less the place Is an open field. If a man should raise an umbrella in a lecture hall or in church he would be expelled. and properly. too. Why not compel a woman wearing a hat as blg as an umbrella to remove 1t or retire?
 Now what do you think of that ven turesome audacity? Is not the writer in the class of those who court trouble for its own sake? And what good will it's daring do? we venture to ask. Will any woman who believes in keep ing up with the styles wear a hat one inch smaller because of the diatribes of mere man? Not if we know any thing about them. Rather would she take a delight in sitting before him and shutting off all the view. The Times might as well advise tariff re- vision.

POLITICAL. BUTTONS.

 It is quite possible to trace a reia- tion between the often n-lamented disap pearancc of campaign singing III America and the appearance of cam paign buttons. And. in fairness. there is good deal to be said in favor or the latter. It is at least not mode or nlisrepresentation, except as any photo graph may be such. TO sing. as the Tyler Too campaign, that

Besides be- ing fair. it Is in good taste by com parison with the ld-fashioned politlcal badges of gilt and silk ribbon. Tn these two respects 1t is characteristic of

 When the small objects with no high public functions, like brooches and buckles and beads. are described and their history recorded in de luxe volumes 1t is a pity that the campaign button has as yet no historian and but few collectors. The longer its litera- ture is deferred. however. the more material it will be able to use. It Is a long time. for instance, since any one turned his coat to indicate a change of politics. How many years will 1t be ton?"

THEY HAVE FOUND IT.

The lonR-expected has arrived at pated and sought for has come. The following paragraph tells the story in few words;
 The University of Chicago yesterday added to it's collections the bones or a sea serpent. It was found in the bed of the smoky Hills river. near the western boundary of Kansas. Scien- lists say 1t Is the finest and most com plete specimen of its kind in existence Professor s. w. Williston of the paleon- tological department discovered the bones of the creature last summer 1t measured nineteen feet long and had feet.
 That is what we call real eucourag- ing. For generations the question of the existence or non-existence of the sea-serpent has been discussed. af- firmed denied and otherwise handled about from one wise person to another without definite results. There has not been wanting well-informed investiga- ters to deny that such creatures do or can exist. While some of them admit that here may have been such things in the distant past. they af- firm that no living specimen has been seen in modern times. On the other side are to be found numbers of travel only assert that 1t exists, but that they have seen it. They grow irate at the mere intimation that they are romancing or that they have been de- ceived by something they imagined was sea serpent. There arc numbers of printed records sworn affidavits and the like to sustain the claim that the creature is still to be seen, by those who are lucky enough to he in the right place at the right time.
 And thus the discussion. pro and con. has gone on for generations with out definite results. Now this Chicago Professor comes forward with the goods, as one might say. True he doesn't claim to have a living specimen on exhibition, but he does affirm that he has the bones on hand. and what more can one want? Bones are all we have of many animals and fowls that do not now walk swim or fly. but the bones are accepted as satts- factory evidence that such creatures did once exist. even though none of them can now be produced and put on the stand to give evidence in their own behalf.
 The item we have quoted Is not ex- actly definite. it is true. We are not informed from reading it whether these bones are those of a modern serpent. or whether they belong to that far away prehistoric sauran age from which the scientists get the remains of so many strange specimens of early animal life with which to amaze and puzzle the moderns. If these bones are thouss nds or millions of years old they still. leave the question of the present existence of sea a-serpents up in the air and perhaps no nearer a solution than before.
 There are one or two points in con nection with this reported find that are somewhat disphanous. to speak

It is stated that owing to tho rari- fled condition of the air in Denver two drinks of whiskey will exhilerate a person as much as nine drinks would near the level of the sea. If that is true some of the delegates should be careful about induIging when they get to that city. And 1t is also said that for the same atmospheric reasons no speaker can crate more than fifteen minutes. but as many of the speeches will be mainly hot air. we don't know that it matters much what the air conditions are in the city.

learnedly. If these bones are the re- mains of genuine sea-serpent what was the "critter'' doing up in Kansasf We freely admit that they can find almost anything in Kansas, from dinosaur to genuine Popuiist. but that A creature whose native range ts in the sea or the ocean, as its name indicates, should have wandered up there is not accountable. unless it is really of ancient date and died there when that portion of the earth was part Of the great salt seas. as the geologists assure us was a fact. Tn that case the presence of the bones can be understood. but that doesn't help those who are believers in the present existence Of the things. and leaves them just where they were be- fore.
 Another point that is not exactly made clear to our understanding Is, how do they know that these are the remains of a sea-serpent? Possibly they couldn't find anything else it would fit, so they annexed it to this one. We are aware that the bone ex-> perts, as we suppose we may term them are away up in knowledge of this kind. We believe it was Audubon of whom it was said that he could take one bone or tooth and tell what animal 1t was part of. and maybe there are others equally expert. and that they have fitted the correct name to the . cadaver We must take their word for 1t, any how. The main point is that they seem to have proven that such things as sea-serpents once exist ed. whether any are now to be found or not and that is something gained.

Growing Necesslty.

New Orleans World.
 It was given out from Washington yesterday that the Taft people would not recognize the Lilly White" wing of the Southern Republican party Sic transit gloria Republicana! The Re publican Party of Louisiana Is dead. The Republican party of every other Southern state is dead.
 Believing that the Caucasion of the North does not differ essentially from the Concession of the South. The World concludes that this course is simply a play to the colored votes of the Middle West. They want the delega- tious of certain states for the con ventlon and they want the balance of power wielded by the negro in the general election In carrying certain states. Hence the point of view.
 It is the rankest hypocrisy. The darkey knows it-but he will profit by 1t. Why shouldn't he? Why not use the trucking Caucasian hypocrisy at the bottom of this insincerity to their own best advantage? Racial fric- tion will grow in these states-make no mistake about 1t.

RrrrBNHoUsE's ORRERY FOUND.
Once a Trophy of War In the Hands of
 Lord COrnwallls.

Princeton. (N. J.,) Special
 A mechanical contrivance used to H. lustrate the motion of the planets in their orbits. which was made by David Rittenhouse the astronomer in ITO, has been uncovered in an out of the way corner of the Science Building at Princeton University. where 1t had lain for years.
 Rittenhouse. who was a clockmaker at Norriton Penn. was the first man to succeed in making an orrery. as the contrivance is called. At the time of its completion it was the wonder or America and the envy of Europe, Dr. William Smith. then provost of the Un- iversity of Pennsylvania, proposed buying the machine for use at the uni- verslty but was outbid by pr. With erspoon, of Princeton, who paid $500 for it.
 In 1776-'77. when the Britich and Hessian forces occupied Princeton. pLord CornwalIis gave cpecial instruct Ions for the preservation of the wond- erful machine, intending to take 1t to England as a trophy of war. The or erery Is composed of different sized globes representing the planets and so arranged that they reproduce accur- ately the motion of the heavenly bod les.

RACE CONFLICT FEARED.
SocfOIOEist Secs Clash of the White
 and Blacks.


 Chicago Record Herald.
 A great and decisive conflict between the black and white races in the Uni ted States will be the probable result of increasing race hatred and existing conditions in this country, according to the belief expressed by Prof. Alfred Holt Stone of the Carnegie Institution in an article on Race Friction Be- tween Black and White" in the current number of The American Journal of Sociology. to be issued today from the University of Chicago Press.
 The uprising of the negroes which Professor Stone predicts will come as a part of "the general awakening of the darker races of the earth" only awaits an immediate provoki Ing cause to de- termine its violence, he declares. The sociologist states that in his opinion the white man lis no wiser than an ostrich" if he refuses to recognize the powerful forces at the command of the negroes.
