Bishop McFaul reminds his people.
there are undoubtcd evils which weigh
most heavily on the working classes,
and it is the duty of Christians to work
together to remedy them. If the prin-

would be neither multi-millionaires,

Rest.

Rest is quite as important for the
thin woman as her baths and her food,
and this will perhaps be the hardest
lesson she has to learn. She is usually
busy woman, either voluntarily or
from necessity, but she must lead as
lazy a life as she can il she would
belong to the roly-poly cult. Let her
drink chocolate freely. also hot water
and hot milk. Preserved figs are very
good for covering bones. Five minute
rests at frequent intervals will do her
much good and bring her much flesh.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

There is no change in the Democratic
can papers almost all the Democratic
leaders are opposed to the nomination
OF Bryan, but strangely enough all ad
nit that he will be nominated. Very
few of them think he can be elected.
The Republican papers fail to explain
why it is these Democratic leaders do
not oppose the nomination Of Mr..
Bryan. Certainly they need not be
afraid of him inasmuch as he will not
be elected.
The truth of the matter is that most
of the Democratic leaders favor the
nominal ton of Bryan, and those who
do not favor his nomination do not
dare to oppose it because they know
their constituents at home are for
Bryan. ANY Republican newspaper
desiring testimony on this point should
apply to Senator Daniels Of Virginia.
He was once the idol of the Democracy
of Virginia. In an unguarded moment
he expressed himself as opposed to
the nomination of Bryan and he came
within a few votes of being defeated
by the Virginia legislature. 1t would
be pretty hard to get a Democratic
Congressman, who expects to be Il
candidate for reelection next fall, to
announce himself as opposed to the
nomination of Bryan. They are not
afraid of Bryan, but they are afraid of
the voters. Tho leaders may hold con-
ferenccs to plan for tho defeat of Bry-
an. but it is mighty hard to drag a
man who expects to be a candidate fo1
Office into one Of the conferences They
may establish campaign headquarters
but it is safe to say that no United
States Senator or Congressman will
take charge Of the headquarters unless
he is ready to retire or has already
been retired. In the meantime all that
Bryan has said and needs to say is
what he said last November, "If the
people want me as candidate. I am
ready to make the fight" That has
been sufficient to get instructed dele
cations from every state which has
held a convention so far
The situation in the Republican
party is somewhat different From day
to day we are assured of the great
strength of Secretary Taft. The Presi-
dent tells us what a strong man he is
and what a popular candidate he will
be. but in the meantime he never lets
so of the "big stick" He is delighted
with the resignation of Hitchcock, who
assumes control of the Taft campaign
and he is using the patronage, par
ticularly in the South. for the purpose
of helping out his friend Taft in a
manner in which it never has been
used before. Taft is strong, but his
strength is just little bit forced
Some say Bryan is Il weak candidate
and stands no show of being elected
and yet it is impossible to find a Dem.

he received from the people OF course

neapolis. II a small portion of what
has been charged is true the evil Is
a great one. Alderman Petersen, aft
er a personal investigation. has de-
termined to introduce an ordinance in
the city council to remedy the dance
hall evil. 1t is ridiculous to give so
much time and thought to the enforce
ment of the II o'clock closing law
while at the same time permitting
dances to run all night where liquor
is sold to young boys and girls. The

sell liquor. and that only to adults.
The dance hall is Il worse evil than
the wine room, for girls visit those
places who would not in the first in
stance visit a wine room. If the city
Of Minneapolis has not an ordinance
under which it can prevent dances
where liquor is sold, it should have
one. and the police should then sec
that 1t is strictly enforced.
The half dozen dance halls located
in the residence districts of the city
can do more harm than all the saloons
in the city of Minneapolis. Certainly
nothing can be said for an all night
dance where liquor is sold to minors
of both sexes. 1t is certainly ridicu-
lous to insist upon closing saloons al

The Crown Above the Harp.


Here's good story for st. Patrick's
Day reading. 1t is told by Captain B.
S. Osbon, author of "a Sailor of For
tune.'
Captain Osbon's ship was lying at
Queenstown. He had made very good
friends. and had received very hand
some treatment, and when st. Patricl k S
Day arrived determined to show his
appreciation, and ordered a gorgeous
Irish flag. At sunrise he had the shin
gaily dressed, while from the main.
royal masthead the banner and the
harp of Erin trailed out on the breeze.
"The sight gave vast joy to the
townspeople, who arrived in delegations
to congratulate me on my flag display.
But about 10 o'clock in the mornin, a
twelve-oared cutter from the British
guard ship pulled up alongside, Brit
ish MILDLY with half a dozen blue jack
cts landed, and, to my surprise, came
on board. The diminutive representa-
tive of the queen approached and in d
funny, pompous voice asked:
"'W'ho is master Of this ship?'
"I am, l acknowledged. TO what
am l indebted for this formal visit?'
Pointing to the green flag above us,
he said: You will haul that down in
stantly sir, or I will order my men to
do it for you.'
"'Well. what's the matter with the
flag" 1 asked
"'That flag has no crown over the
harp he snapped. and my orders are
to have it hauled down. Do you under
stand?'
~ think gather the idea.' l ad-
mitted, and. calling one of my men,
had the flag lowered. AS it reached
the deck l said to the MILDLY, There,
little man, the flags down. Now run
along and learn politeness.'
LAS soon as he was gone I had a
couple of my men make from yellow
cloth two of the smallest crowns ever
seen over harp. These were sewed
on, and within an hour the flag again
went to the masthead.
I'm due time another man-o'-war
boat appeared, lieutenant in COM
mand. I ordered the banner hauled
down for the second time and spread it
on the deck. the great harp and the
funny little crown above.
My dear fellow said the liutcnant.
that crown is out Of all proportion.
You couldn't distinguish it five feet
away
Well. I may have made the crown
a little out Of proportion I said, but
it's there, according to orders,

puzzled. and. after thinking moment,

TlLLMAN ON THE PRESIDENT,

Senator Tillman. in a recent speech
in the Senate, drew attention to the
very apparent change which has taxi
en- place in our government.
ut has taken" says the South Caro-
lima Senator, Just forty-o one years for
the swinging Of the pendulum from the
regime of Andrew Johnson, when Com
gress assumed control almost to the
exclusion of the President, to the ad
lninistration which we have at the
present time. when the President is
the dominating influence, in control of
| the legislative and judicial, as we'll as
| the executive branch of our govern
ment."
The country certainly has gone from
one extreme to the other in this re-
spcct. In 1867 Andrew johnson lived
In the White House and drew his sal
ary. and narrowly escaped impeach-
ment. He had no power in the dl-
rection Of public affairs. Congress was

ernment. 1t was as naughty and inso-
lent in the use and abuse of it's power
as the executive branch is today.
Since the days of Andrew Johnson the
power OF the President has been stead
lily growing. With the power of the
President has grown the power of the
federal government Many functions
of the legislative branch of the gov
ernment have been usurped by the
executive. And in the same way the
federal government now exercises
functions which were formerly left to
the states Senator Tillman saws that
the house has degenerated into lit
tic more than recording machine to
do the will Of the Speaker, and while
freedom OF debate still exists in the
Senate. yet the shadow of the execu-
tive hangs over all and the Presidents
wishes are almost the only law"
Certainly there is much truth in
what Senator Tillman says Old fash
| ioned Americans resent this assump-
ton OF power on the part of the Presi-
dent. Not only is the power actually
exercised by the executive, but he
assumes an autocratic and paternal
attitude toward the people and the
country. Notwithstanding President
Rooscvelt's popularity his frequent use
of "my people" and "our policy" is
| intensely displeasing. His communi-
cations to foreign powers in which he
refers to my people" are altogether
too much like king to suit Ameri-
cans. Even in President Roosevelt's S
| unofficial writings he refers to hunt
ing comrades as "Mr. Alternately. who
holds my commission as marshal" and
| Mr.. Somebody-clSc "who was INV
| aide" There is altogether too much
of l, Me & Co. in presidential announc-
| ments. 1t will not do a bit of harm to
have Senator Tillman stir the animals
up occasionally. The great ma ajority
of the American people still understand
| that the source of power in this coun-
try rests in the people and that all
officials. the President included. are
