ROOSEVELT, THE H E r E S.

"This is not a period of Republican
asceudency," former Governor Black
told the Home Market Club at Boston

same champion Of tariff protection
when nominating President Roose-
Welt four years ago, declared that he
was "the Highest living type Of the

great country and great age" shows

right that a mother should wish

and it is mistake that good and
careful education should unfit
a girl for the homely duties of
cooking, busting aud general

those duties wonld be better per-
formed if mothers would at the
same time that they seek talented
instructors for their daughters,
impart to them some of their own
culinary talents, then there would
be more good wives and mar

DOUGLAS AND ROOSEVELT.

While President Roosevelt is trying
to find out about the matter of wages
aud worhingmen 1t mignt be we'll for
him take the counsel of that wise and
patriotic Democrat, Hon. William l..
Douglas, who just bef1re he was
elected Governor of Massachusetts in
1904, said:
II believe that the day is close at
hand when the workingman can no
longer be deluded by the cry of protec-
ton. OF what possible interest can it
be to working man out of q job and
out of money to tell him that the
country is growing greater, grander
and richer under the Republican pol
icy of protection? What he wants is
work, steady work, with enough
money in his pay envelope on pay day
to settle the necessary bills for the sup
port and education of his family. and
at the same time have something left
to lay away to provide against old age
and sickness. Look around you and
see what very small percentage of
working people are enabled to do more
than pIod along, with but little hope
aud no provision for the future"
If President Roosevelt had carried
out the reforms that Governor Doug
las stands for the lol of the working
man would be vastly improved.

A GLANCE AHEAD.

If Taft were elected President, he
would propably have the appointment
of three or four Justices Of the United
States Supreme Court. 1t is not hard
to guess how such appointees would
stand on the question of government
by injunction. With the Federal
Courts packed by Taft, and big army
and navy controlled by Taft, there
would be no use for = Congress to
make laws, or even for the blessed mi
tiative and referendum, since the courts
and the army and the navy, both d.
rected by Roosevelt per Big Bill,
would really govern the country with
out regard to the laws. This seems to
be the true inwardnsss OF the Roose-
welt policies so warmly endorsed by
some Democrats whose hind sight is
better than their foresight.

DOORS ON PUBLIC BUILD
INGS SHOULD OPEN OUT
WARDLY.

Every time that there is a big fire
or disaslsr of any kind, causing death
and destruction you will notice in GER
tain places most hurried inspection OF
exits and fire escapes and great activ-
ity in looking up all points of danger.
Nj st of these such as exits in all pu6
lie buildings and fire escapes properly
constructed, are matters covered by
the statutes in nearly all the States.
Why is it that the law is disregarded
SO often? AS the result Of this neglect
disasters occur often, causing great
loss of life. 1t is wise plan to look
well into the safety of all places where
great crowds gather, and some precise
means should be provided in all cities.
These observations are brought TO
mind by reason of the terrible accident
in Cleveland school, where over one
hundred school children lost their
lives. Doors opening inward and one
exit locked tell the awful tale of mis-
cry and woe. Little ones were tramp
led to death by those rushing behind
them to the locked door. Many lost
their lives this way.
We are informed that in nearly all
of the public school buildings in Fred
erick County, the doors open outward
". This rule should be extended to
every one of them, and the law in this
regard carefully complied with every
where.

THE FATHERS DUTY.

We estimate a mothers import

one can, aud yet We do not be-
Iieve that she monopolizes all the
qualities needed in the great
work of training up human beings.
Her familiarity with her children
places her in some respects, ut q
great disadvantage for the exer-
else of wholesome authority. The
wise father will not indeed take
the reins Of family government
from the hands of his wife, but
he will make his children feel
aud know that her gentle sway
is sustained by q firm and steady
hand; that behind their mothers
tender heart stands a cool judg
ment, and a will stronger even
than their own, and that they
cannot impose upon the one or
resist the other. But if he would

TELL THE TRUTH.

The daily papers of the larger cities
are publishing news of the opening
of manufacturing plants which were
closed during the panic, and of thou
sands Of men being again put to work
in factories that had reduced their
WORKING force. While it is pleasant to
record that business is improving, it
does not pay to try to force such i'm
provements by misstatemehts. The
National Glass Bndget, published at
Plttsburg, lets the cat out of the bag

the bard times and the reduction Of
the wages of the railroad men. As the
commission is a creature of The Chief

gloomy enough to be ushered

one can scarcely grope his way to
a seat, and to discover, when his
eyes becomes accustomed to the
dim light, that every chair and
sofa has on its "duster," appar.
sntly equipped for travelling to
some unknown land. But ladies
must have their carpets kept
bright and fresh. even if their
cheeks are the paler for it. And
so he shutters are tightly closed,
and the heavy curtains drawn.
But for the sake of health and
beauty, ladies', let this be done
only in the "best parlor.' if it
must be done at all. Let the
rooms where the family live he

would expect her house plants to
seLd out full, brilliant blossoms
unless she placed them in a win
dow where the sunshine would
invigorate them. No more should
she expect her children to show
fresh, rosy compilations, or to de-
velop genial dispositions, unless
they live in light, sunny, airy
rooms.
