Social Knitting.

There is hope for New York society.
There is reason to believe that it may
some day be rescued from the depths OF
frivolity into which it has fallen In re-
cent years. Possibly in the course of
a few seasons those Americans who cher
ish the memories of their mothers and
grandmothers and like to dwell upon the
good old days of the past will have to
acknowledge that there is still health in
the social whirl of Gotham.
In the dear old days. the days before
the motor car and bridge whist and
monkey dinners. when a woman had an
hour or two OF leisure and felt the social
impulse stirring she took her knitting and
went over to a neighbor's for a pleasant
chat The two women sat and talked and
knitted. probably gossiping relentlessly
about their sisters. but never really vast
ing time because their fingers kept pace
with their tongues and yielded valuable
products in socks and mittens and fasci-
majors and tides and such things.
A New York society woman, possibly
only recently emancipated from the thral-
dom of domestic kitchen. but now with
that power Of suggestion which Is equiva-
lent to command. has decreed by her own
example that it Is the height of good form
to take ones knitting while calling. Her
social sisters have followed her lead with
the avidity which is displayed whenever
any marked departure from the conven-
tioual becomes 1.-The thing" and now the
needles are clicking all over New York

Gov. Hughes and Horse Racing.

4 dispatch from Newburg, n. Y, an
neunces that horseman of that city.
who officiates as starter at many races
throughout the state, has taken the
stump as supporter of Gov. Hughes re-
election. in the face OF the opposition of
the so-called sporting element on account
of the governors advocacy of anti-gam-
bling legislation. The dispatch continues:
He has been speaking from the stand
point of a man thoroughly familiar with
the racing business. and has declared that
horse racing in this state had become
so corrupt before the passage of the anti
stopped by legislation, the people would
have put a stop to it themselves. He
asserts that never in the history of the
state had there been cleaner or better
racing or faster time made than during
the season just closed"
This is a frank, fair statement of the
case. Gov. Hughes has never taken a
position against horse racing as a sport.
He found a clause in the state constitu-
ton prohibiting gambling. and he found a
Law on the statute books which in effect
permitted gambling, and he insisted that
until the constitution was amended the
statutes should conform to it. Accord
ingly he held the legislature to the task
OF supplying new law relating TO gam
bling until he got what he wanted. and
for that he is now assailed as foe to
horse racing. In truth, Gov. Hughes and
all others who stand for the enforcement
OF the gambling laws at the race tracks
are the best friends of horse racing as a
sport. Their advocacy OF anti-gambling
laws serves to rescue the sport from the
hands of the disreputable element into
which it has TO such large degree fallen.
There is nothing unwholesome or demon
slizing about clean racing conducted as a
sport. But when the horse races are
merely held as a means to the end of
separating the gullible and weak from
their money, through the lure of getting
something for nothing. they are injurious

ton.

it. The disaffections that exist are in the
ranks of labor. There are many unem-

Election Weather.

Watchman tell us of the weather. What
are the signs for next Tuesday?
This is always an important point. In
the agricultural states. a storm. or a
blizzard. the day before, or on, election
day cuts down the vote. With the roads
out of sight, or bottomless in mud. the
farmers are not enthusiastic about going
10 the polls. in some cases miles distant.
They are more inclined TO stay at home
and hug the fire. leaving 1t to those
more conveniently situated to rally to the
cause and save the country. The local
manager who gets out the full farmer
vote in such circumstances is rated as "a
mighty smart fellow" and deserving of a
good office for himself.
This year the farmer vote Is OF special
Importance. Indeed. we are told that the
republican cause depends very largely upon

Washington's Legislators.

Although Washington has no voice di-
rectly in the election Of next Tuesday II
has much at stake and is watching the
campaign and will note the result with
the keenest interest II Is. indeed. much
more broadly interested III the election
than any other city in the United States,
for upon the results of the popular strife
depends the makeup of the District $
legislature and consequently the charac-
ter of the legislation which is essential
tn the citys welfare and growth. livery
congressional district in the country is
thus an item of Importance to the Ma
ttonaI capital and the citizens of Wash
iugton are following the fortunes of can
didates closely. This is true both OF
the House and Senate elections. the latter
being dependent upon the choice of leg1s-
latures in the states the terms of whose
representatives in the upper house expire
next March One of the senators who is
up for reelection, so to speak. next Tues
day is Mr. Gallinger of New Hampshire.
chairman of the Senate District COM
mittee and member of the committee
on appropriations
In voting next Tuesday the people OF
New Hampshire will choose their legis-
lingers record as representative of their
state and without particular regard for
his work as legislator for the District
OF Columbia. There is no present doubt
of his return to the Senate on that basis.
and this result will be eminently crafty
ing to the citizens of this District. who
have come to appreciate the earnest in
terest which Senator Gallinger takes in
the welfare of Washington. member
of the District committee ever since his
election to the Senate, in 1891. and chair
man since the death of Mr.. Mcmillan, In
1862. Senator Gallinger has made a spe-
cal study OF the capitals needs and has
a; the same time kept pace with the
Senate on national questions. and has
through his assiduous devotion to his
duty and continuous service gained an
influential position in the upper house.
His service on both the District and ap-
propriations committees enables him to
render the capital a maximum of bene-
fetal service.
1t is the theory of all District citizens
who view the matter broadly that every
American should be interested in the up
building and development of the National
capital. To a large extent this is true,
and this interest. which works out in
terms of permanent improvements and
the evolution of the ideal capital. is
manifested chiefly through the retention
in service as national legislators of the
men who have contributed to this end
in the past The case of Senator Gal
linger is merely typical He has DEM
onstrated that it is possible capabiy and
faithfully TO serve the state and the
national seat of government at the same
time There is no feeling in New Hamp-
shire, as far as has been ascertained, that
Senator Gallinger has neglected the in
terests of that commonwealth while serv-
ing the District of Columbia. and there
is every indication that he will be re-
turned for a fourth term in the upper
house.

The Rockefeller Episode.

AS The Star suggested yesterday, ii
was inevitable that the declaration OF
Mr.. Rockefeller for Judge Taft would
be viewed with suspicion by some of the
supporters of the republican candidate.
1t was to be expected. too. that the
democrats would use 1t to support their
charge of an understanding between the
trusts and the republicans. Both inter
pretations have been given to the deliver
ance. and amusement and excitement in
about equal parts have followed. A
small sensation thus closes the cam
paign.
Was it a trick? There is just enough
in the matter to arouse suspicion and
encourage speculation. Mr.. Rockefeller
spoke as an individual. but before the
country at large he has no individuality
left. He is the Standard Oil Company
and. as the President suggests, the
Standard Oil Company has no reason to
love the administration, or work for
the success of the ticket headed by a
recent member of the administration
What. therefore, explains this Standard
Oil Endorsement of Judge Taft at the
eleventh hour if not a desire to injure
him?
On the other hand, would an old fox
playing fox. have played the game that
way? Would he not have foreseen the
twist that would be given to his action :!
Would he not rather have piled UP
secretly the Golfers of the Bryanites
with hard cash-he would have had nc
difficulty in doing so-and trusted to his
coin to work for him?
ha 9th rIy ",
it is to be noted that both Mr.. Bryan
and Chairman Mack shrieked at once
In the same key and with equal volume
If an anti-Taft trick, it could not have
been seized more swiftly as by previous
arrangement. A thousand miles apart
the candidate and the manager Of his
campaign yet saw at the same moment
and from the same angle the meaning OF
the thing. and called upon heaven in the
same way to witness their indignation.
At last, and to settle the matter, we
have the issue of personal character
Judge Taft is strong in many things, but
in nothing stronger than in that Of in
tegrity. He would not sell himself, and
he would not redeem the terms of a sale
made by others. Not all Of the Standard
Oils millions would avail anything with
him in a question of justice and the law.
The country need not be disturbed. and OF
course is not on that score. Whether Mr.
Rockefeller Is a party to a democratic
trick, or is, as he declares, sincerely in
favor of Judge Taft's election, the result
will be the same if Judge Taft is elected
The Standard Oil Company will answer to
the law for any and all offenses it may
have committed that the law can reach
This sums up the actual situation. Il
anything definite and important appears
1t is that the Standard Oil Company Is
rated in every disclosure as an outlaw in
public opinion. whose touch is harmful,
and whose expressed friendship calls at
least for an earnest explanation.

Mr.. Bryan and Civil Service.

1t is almost impossible to find any pub
lie question whatever upon which Mr.
Bryan does not hold peculiar, not to say
queer notions. His ideas upon the civil
service are as theoretical as upon other
topics. Mr. Bryan does not believe in
civil service. He looks upon the depart
ments at Washington as affording oppor-
new scheme all of his own. That scheme
is to divide the Offices up-to hand out ap-
pointments according to the strength OF
the various parties. II the democratic
it will go the bulk Of the spoils. The
republicans. apparently, would get a
share. But SO would the followers of
Debs and of Hisgen and Of the others.
