HE following explains itself:
4 Editor EVENING JOURNAL: hear it
reported that before departing for Europe,
Colonel dupont left orders that none but
large men should be nominated on the Re
publican ticket at the State convention, and
that man must be over $50 pounds in
weight to be eligible. Is this correct3
Yours, Obadiah Greentree, Of ].
Bethel, August II.
This report may or may not be correct, but we
do not believe that the good folks down about
Bethel should be alarmed over it. If the report
is circulating there and it proves TO be true, we
advise our friend Thomas ii Buckley, who is
one of the best political workers in the city, to
unfold his tent about Bethel and gather in the
delegates.
There NAV be some basis for the report. The
candidates of the two parties, Mr. Taft and Mr..
Bryan, are weghty citizens, and go considerably
beyond the 2so mark which, according to this
report, Colonel DUPONT has set as the prescribed
figure.
The fat men, so far as the national political
field is concerned, are strictly on top, and the
Jealous little fellows and skinny ones for once
have to get into the background And although
the candidates are large and have what used to
be called corporations the corporations are not
pleased with them.
Solemn-ooSing and spectaced doctors say
that large men are short of wind. Both Taft and
Bryan prove how untrue is this superstition of
the doctors Their wind is good If Mr.. Taft
can deliver a speech of several hours at fight
ing weight of three hundred pounds, what would
he do if he were trained down to 200 pounds? If
Colonel Bryan can keep a dozen type writers
going at once recording the various speeches that
he is to hurl about the country, if he trained
down TO 100 pounds the type writer trust would
smash its machinery in trying to supply enough
type writing machines for him.
Despite all this, however, we firmly believe
that Senator dupont has left no orders that men
who weigh less than ESQ pounds shall be debarred
from the ticket IT, however, it will relieve the
mind of the Hon. Obadiah Greentree, we shall
cable the senator, although the message on its
way across the Atlantic may be swallowed by
Jonah's whale.

fine creamy French lace trims the frook.

spring. with the pronounced vogue of
Empire lines, the chic wedding gown has
taken on shcrtness Of waist, and the most
important OF the Easter weddings In Paris

pire wedding gowns. Some Of the very love-

The tulle veil Ia still the general favorite
and is really more becoming than even the
handsomest Of old lace wells. though the
latter are frequently worn as heirlooms

Some very pretty bridal wells worn at Easter
weddings were OF tulle. but were bordered
with real alencon. and these were draped

For the bridesmaid there Is infinite va

THURSDAY, JANUARY 90. 1908.

There seems to be determination IN
some quarters to try and involve the
United States and Japan to the verge
of war Everything that is done by
either country that can be distorted In
to warlike preparations is grossly ex-
aggerated 30 that the jingoes OF either
country may be kept in constant state
of excitement
AS the difficulty about Japanese i'm
migration to this country can undoubt
eddy be arranged through the usual dip
lomatic channels and the question OF
the open door in Manchuria is merely q
matter Of trade, with which we have to
deal with China and Japan, there can
be no good reason why both countries
cannot maintain amicable relations
with each other. Both countries would
lose and neither could possibly gain by
a clash of arms. The cost Of modern
war is enormous, and Japan, at least,
would be impoverished after prolonged
campaigns. For one thing is certain
that the people Of the United state
would fight to the bitter end and no
peace at any price party wonld dare to
raise its head while such a contest was
in progress. The original question In
dispute of the admission Of Japanese to
the public schools in San Francisco, or
elsewhere, is a matter Of Home Rule
that must be left to the people Of each
state to solve. The question OF adj
mission of emigrants to the United States
of any nationality is for Congress to de-
termine, and the executive department
to execute such laws as Congress may
deem best for all the people. War is
calamity that no sensible people resort
to unless compelled to defend them
selves.
