REFLECTIONS OF A
BACHELOR Girl,

Optimism is that triumph of hope
over experience which makes a
widow marry for the second time
and an octogenarian marry for love.
Clothes may not make the man.
but they often make an awfully
poor imitation look so much like Il
man that some girls don I seem to
be able to distinguish. the differ
ence.
1t isn't the man who has the al
dacity to pursue 4 woman who il
really dangerous, but the one who
has the audacity to sit back and
make her pursue him.
Eve ism the only woman who
has jumped at the chance of talk
ing to anybody, even serpent, af-
ter a few years of sole dependence
on husbands conversation.
In choosing husband, as in
choosing furniture, it is so difficult
to decide whether to select some
thing merely ornamental, which will
look well in the parlor, or something
plain but useful, which has to be
kept out of sightJwhen neighbors
call.
The average man sees no more
reason for hanging around woman
after he has married her than a cat
does for hanging around the kitchen
after he has had his dinner.

HARRIMAN-RoosEvELr-rAr,

HARRIMAN-ROO SEVELT-TAFT
Is President Roosevelt coming around
to the Hartman way of thinking as re-
spects governmental policy toward the
railroads. Is Mr.. Hartman really the
originator Of some of the Roosevelt poll
cies? That an Affirmative answer must
be given to these interesting questions
is the impression We get from an inter
view with the railroad magnate, in
which, after giving the substance of a
conversation had with the president a
few years ago, Mr.. Hartman remarks,
evidently with pride:
"The president is coming around lit
tie by little; this can be seen in his VA.
rious messages, until finally he is de
claring in favor of the amendment of
the Sherman act"
What Mr.. Hartman told the presi-
dent and Mr. Taft, too, three years ago
was that the railroads needed protection
as well as regulation; that the Sherman
law should be so changed as to permit
the railroads to cooperate by entering
into agreements and making alliances,
so that transportation could be conduct.
ed along the lines of least resistance at
the least cost. Since that time Mr.. Har-
riman has had the pleasure of seeing his
idea of permissible railroad agreements
incorporated in several presidential mes
sages, adopted as good thing by the
republican presidential nominee, and re.
iterated within the week by Mr.. Taft's
sponsor and mentor in his letter to a
western ranchman. Combination, -
said Mr.. Roosevelt In that letter. refer.
ring to the railroad question, should
be favored and not forbidden by law. -
So thought Mr.. Hartman three years
ago; so also does Mr.. Roosevelt think
now. Par mobile fratrum! Here is a
combination or agreement not forbidden
by lava Roosevelt policy with a Har-
riman inspiration
Hence it is that we read with some
skepticism of Mr. Harriman's assumed
or affected indifference to the outcome
Of the presidential election. We are in
clined to doubt any mans insensibility
to the triumph of his own ideas or of
policies in which he is personally inter-
ested. If Mr.. Roosevelt has come around
in the matter of railroad arguments, Mr..
Taft following suit, and if Mr.. Roose-
welt is coming around some more, Mr..
Taft initiating the maneuver, why
should Mr.. Hartman be lukewarm in
this campaign? We haven Z noticed Mr..
Bryan coming around, even little bit.
There is wide gulf between the Harri-
man Roosevelt Taft policy and the dec
laration Of the democratic platform con-
corning railway combinations. Can we
really believe that Mr. Hartman does
not much care whether Taft or Bryan
is elected7
We think Mr.. Hartman ought to be
touched for good round sum in aid of
the republican campaign fund. He is
waiting to be asked. Is Mr.. Sheldon
afraid to ask him? Then there is one
unappropriated Roosevelt policy that is
open to Mr.. Taft's adoption during the
last week in October.
