his action should bring him closer

A JUDICIAL OPINION.

That most women cook badly aud
thereby drive their husbands TO drink
was the opinion given recently by
Judge Greenbaum OF the supreme
court OF New York In an addresstat
the Hebrew Technical School for
Girls The Judge said I'm this cpun-
try the cooking Is far from what Il
ought to be particularly In the coup-
try districts, where nature has en-
dowed the soil with all that should
make for ideal conditions as to food.
Yet the average woman there knows
nothing abou, cooking, The cooking
Is vile, Children are nourished inn
properly. The wage Garner the
breadwinner, does not receive proper
food to sustain him have no doubt
that many men 80 to saloons at night
just because they are Improperly
furnished at home"
The judge Is badly misinformed
and public opinion will brand him
as a fool, As a rule farmers wives
are the best of cooks. II the Judge
wants to strike really bad cooks he
should tackle the cafes and restau-
rants in the large cities. 1t Is in
these he gets the indigestlble, hastily,
poorly prepared edibes. In the
country homes the women take pride
in their cooking, and they become
experts in It, In the city not many
girls have cooking at home, and It
becomes necessary to put domestic
science departments in the public
schools ... .,g.

THE POT Is BOILING.

While there may be factional diff
ferences in the Democratic party, for
the most part they are OF personal
nature, and created by past individ-
ual popularity But upon issues,
since the elimination of the silver
question, they are as united and
firm as adamant. Every Democrat
declares for the immediate, practical
and thorough reform of the infamous
tariff tax. TO believe in anything
else is declaration of secession
from the Democratic ranks. The
man who does not believe in the re-
form of the tariff is no nearer a Dem
ocrat than a Chinese coole is a Unit

issue upon which Democracy is max

a pamphlet against Bryan called

fact that one campaign during that

Parker, and that his defeat was far
more emphatic than either suffered
by Bryan. But the truth OF history
does not appeal to partisans in cam

aid in his defeat in the November
