MR.. HANDYs AUDAcIoUs Def"

II HE Hon. L. Irving Handy threatens to put
h some mustard into the Democratic cam
paign. Last evening at the mass meeting of our
Democratic friends, which was honored by gem
tie drizzle showing wet sympathy for the ticket,
Mr.. Handy issued a strange and startling chal-
enge which must strike terror into the hearts and
stomachs of plutocrats, predatory wealth monop-
offers and rich folks generally who are in such
political disfavor this year and who are in peril
OF being ground to powder by the big stick of
Roosevelt and the big words of Bryan
Mr.. Handy declared that early in life he de-
cided not TO be rich, and then he recalled the good
things that millionaires are supposed to enjoy,
such as yachts and automobiles but finally
pointed out that rich man could eat no more
than poor man--that is, could have no greater
pleasures of the table So eloquent did Mr.,
Handy wax on this point, that he boldly and de-
family challenged any rich man to an eating con-
test The challenge was issued with so much fer
vor and dramatic effect that Jupiter Puvius, for
an instant halted the drizzle. DR.. Rowland c..
Paynter after feeling for his bottle Of pepsin,
smilingly waited moment to see If any million-
aire stepped out of the crowd to accept the auda-
cious def" of Mr.. Handy
About a dozen millionaires among the gather
ing fed in dismay, and so far as we know no mill
lonaire up to the hour OF going to press has ac-
cepted the challenge OF Mr.. Handy.
But suppose some of the New York 'plutes
who have cast iron bird and bottle stomachs,
should descend upon MT. I1andy ana engage III
an eating contest, we believe the campaign
would take new feature that would be decidedly
interesting. In such a contest we should un-
doubtedly support Brer Handy especially if the
things to be eaten were fine old Virginia hams.
It is good thing that the Democrats have a
skilled physician on the ticket. There may be
calls for his services at any time to get digestive
apparatus in trim. And after it is all over, Br'er
Handy, sure. will eat his crow as grace

Some persons think that it is an opportune time
to attack the labor unions in addresses and in adj
vertisements One Of the latter was printed in
the columns of THE JOURNAL of yesterday. Ii
does not seem to occur to those who are making
war upon labor unions that in their attacks they
are not supported by any political party
and will not be. Manufacturers and persons in
other branches of business have right TO organ

labor. A person that seeks to make political

TAFT AS THE CHIEF FIGURE.

II HE more Mr.. Taft speaks the better It will
4 be for HIS candidacy. The recent violent
outburst of letters the picking to pieces OF men
as individuals, has tended, somewhat, to obscure
the Republican candidate for president, but now
that the letter battle for the time being has
ceased, Mr.. Taft again looms up as the first figure
of the canvass He is on the stage and there he
should stay The more the voters see him the
more friends he makes. Personal elimination
is no part of the outfit of Mr. Taft He discloses
himself as a strong, sensible and able man, who
goes about his business in a methodical manner
discussing the issues that are before the people
and impressing his hearers that he is the right
man to occupy the presidential chair Behind
him is record of deeds performed, of actual ser
vicen office, accompanied by satisfactory results.
Mr.. Taft has just been in Nebraska, Mr..
Bfyan's own State, and he has been heartily re-
ceived There is no more indication, judging
by the welcome accorded the Republican candi-
date, that Mr.. Bryan will carry Nebraska than
there was during the campaign of eight years ago
when bryan was the candidate of his party.
Mr.. Taft paid tribute to Mr.. Bryan person
ally but brought out the point that the voters
should support the party that has a record OF
doing things rather than a candidate who in
duges merely in prophecies, seeing visions to
suit various circumstances and occasions. For,
after all, this campaign will wind up with decis-
ion chiefly as to the merits Of the candidates, and
the voters will decide which candidate and which
party is more probable to give administration
for the best interests of the country And Mr..
Taft need have no fear of that decision.

1t is natural to overestimate the
wealth of millionaires. Probate courts
and executors are constantly proving
how exaggerated many of the 'esti-
mates are. Legrand Powers Of the
United States census bureau, in the
current American Journal of Sociol-
ogy, deals statistically and logically
with claims that are made against
millionaires as a class, and shows
that either the census estimates of
the wealth of the entire population
are ridiculously small or the popular
estimates of the relatively few mil
lionaire fortunes are exaggerated. He
stands by the census estimates, in the
main, and denies that there is any
such concentration of wealth as has
been assumed by some economists, as
well as by popular demagogues.

Conquer your moods; don't let your
moods conquer you. People who give
way to moods never amount to much,
because they are never masters of
themselves. They never know in the
morning whether they are going to do
a good days work or not, whether
they are going to be a cheering or a
depressing influence on the people
around them. If they feel like being
good-tempered, they will be; if they
feel like Swapping at everybody, they
will snap. People who suffer from
moods" should be careful about their
habits. They should be regular about
meals, sleep, exercise and work. The
condition of the health has much to do
with moods, and there is nothing that
contributes so much to health as alb
solute regularity.

Sidney Whitman, Bismarck's old
friend and biographer, has established
friendly relations with the present
chancellor, Prince Won Buelow, who
has just made him the mouthpiece for
an interview calculated to mollify
England and lessen the tension arising
from the Moroccan situation. For the
chauvinists in either country, who are
perpetually tanning the flames of
hatred, the chancellor has nothing but
contempt. He intimates that Germany
will soon show in some unmistakable
way her determination to be a factor
for peace, and her friendliness for
Great Britain. Especially significant
is his declaration that "the dominant
influence in the world is neither Eng
land nor Germany, much less any
single individual in either country"
but rather "the worlds conscience"
often called public opinion. This is a
striking tribute to the effect which
scrutiny of national policies by an
audience, international and inter
racial in makeup, is having on the ma
tons and their controlling officials.

Once in while some woman with
abnormal courage makes a feeble pro-
test against an unwelcome fashion,
but she is always promptly suppressed,
as she ought to be, of course. While
the model gowns were being exhibited
at the dressmakers' convention in
New York, one little gray-haired wo-
man was moved to say: 81 don't be-
lfeve my customers will like going
without petticoats." 81 can't help
what people will like" said the boss
dressmaker, decisively, Il bring over
what's newt" And the little gray
haired woman in the faded bonnet
sighed and settled back, and said no
more.
