The National tribune., 1908-11-26

The President believes that .he place

The best woman is she who bears the
most children to her husband and who
hold.
AS the old saying goes. Miss Ada
German, the oldest daughter Of the late
Senator German, certainly did drive
her pigs to poor market. she is
charming woman, worthy a good hus-
band. but after living 40 years in
maiden meditation fancy free she
picked UP about the crookedest stick
she could possibly find. Magness, the
man she married, is only %. and is now
convicted to serve one year in the pen
for desertion from the Navy, and at
the end of his sentence he Is to be dis
honorably dismissed. 1t is more than
likely, however, that Miss German VIII
be able to get him free of the dishonor-
able dismissal, which will be not quite
so bad. But the fact that he deserted
after having married an exemplary wo-
man of fortune who worshiped him
gees to show that the man is hopeless.
Maybe his year of hard work with
chance to think viii be of benefit to
him.
Ex-Representative Shallenberger. of
Nebraska, is playing in hard luck after
ALL He only got one term in Congress,
because his district in Nebraska is nor
mally Republican, but he was this year
elected Governor of Nebraska He will
now have to be inaugurated on crutches
unless he mendS very rapidly. He con-
cluded to go the whole gamut of fun
while he was about it, and undertook
to cross the burning sands with the
mobiles of the Mystic Shrine. He must
have ridden a giraffe instead of a camel,
however. for in his passage he got
tumble and broke a leg-a pretty bad
break, too, it is said. The explanation
is made that in the initiatory perform
ances of the distinguished gentleman
he was blindfolded and then Started
down an inclined plane-a smooth
board-landing at the bottom with such
violence as to break his leg. Mrs. Shall
ienberger is remembered here as very
handsome and most lovable woman,
who will grace the Governors Mansion
with rare dignity and grace.
The fact that Mrs. Kate Brownlee
Sherwood will be returned to the 61st
Congress is noted with pleasure by the
literary and patriotic organizations, of
the District, where she Is SO well known
and so much admired. OF course, in
cidentally, this means the return of her
husband, Representative Sherwood, but
the General belongs to the crowd on
the hill which adds not very much to
the gaiety of Nations so far as literary
and society cult goes. He comes for
graver work. Veterans everywhere feel
gratified that the old war horse will still
represent them in the ever-lessening
ranks of veterans in the halls of legis-
lation, but they are equally glad that
Mrs. Sherwood will be here to look
after their interests everywhere.
It comes with a shock to the friends
of genial Tom Johnson, who was for
merly a Representative of the Cleve-
land District in Congress. to learn that
ne has come to the end of his tether,
so to speak, and that he is poor man.
Mr. Johnson has always been consid-
cred a very rich man. He is Demo-
crat with ultra ideas of corporations.
trusts and things, and while his friends
are shocked they really are not sur
prised that his money mill has run dry
of grist. He had the widest of wild
ideas of letting the people own things.
and had as many theories of how to
make the masses get rich as could be
well crowded into one head. He had
used his own fortune liberally-too lib
orally, it seems-in his efforts to DEM
onstrate his theories, and ruin stares
him in the face. He announced that he
would have to leave his magnificent
Euclid avenue home, and give up his
automobiles.
The State Department has been OFF,
