independence Gone Wrong !

1t is unfortunate for the Democratic
party Of the Commonwealth Of Massa-
chusetts and the whole country that
the leaders of that party in the Fifth
district of the Bay State are woefullv
incompetent or worse The indorse-
ment of Butler Ames for reelection TO
Congress is one that would not have
been considered for a moment by anv
body OF Democrats bent upon advanc-
ing the party's interests in the State
o. the nation.
Congressman Ames is a Republican
Of ability and popularity. He is re-
nominated on a Republican platform,
and, if reelected, he is pledged to sup
port the platform of the Republican
party. That he Will do so nobody
doubts, not even those so-caIled Demo
cratic leaders who procured his in
dorsement. Therefore, in indorsing
Butler Ames for denomination, the
leaders" who did it expressed to the
entire country their opinion that the
national Democratic Planks relative to
matters of Federal legislation do not
warrant support and that Repub-
hcan can better represent the district
than any Democrat pledged to the
support of the Denver platform and
the Bryan candidacy.
That may be what the Democrats
of Mr.. Ames' district actually believe.
We know that a great many Demo
Gratis so believe, but it Is hardly fair
TO the Democracy as a whole that
the so-called leaders of the party in
that particular district place distrust
of their national platform and candi-
dates so conspicuously on record. How
the Republicans of that district must
laugh!

Needed-A Work Colony.

As TO tuberculosis, the great ques-
ton is:
Whatshall we do to eradicate it2
Beneath all the talk of theory, of
incubation, of exhibits, lies that.
And in his remarkably calm, specific,
convincing paper to the Chamber of
Commerce, DR.. R. w. Philip, of Edin-
burgh, answered it for all present
purposes.
Unite the local forces against the
diseases" said he in substance. "Or-
ganize them and correlate them under
five heads
Il. The local health office.
So The free public dispensary.
80. The open air colony for incipient
cases.
"a. The sanitarium for advanced
cases.
IS. The work-colony."
Washington has ground for satisfac-
ton that it has all these elements in
the equation excepting only the last
The physicians of the Capital have
united with public spirited Iaymen to
provide the free public dispensary.
These same forces have brought into
existence at Starmount the open air
colony where the cost to the patient is
kept as near as possible to the precise
cost to the institution. and a fund ex-
lists for the benefit of the INDECENT.
Congress has at last provided a SAM
tarium. But there is no work colony.
The thing now 70 do is to get this
last link il the chain to bar out this
disease. But getting it is hardly a
work for the physicians. They have
already given of their time, their
money, their skill, more abundantIv
than any other class-though every
other class has more to gain. 1t is a
work for the wide-awake layman who
appreciates these possibilities:
That perhaps 80 per cent OF our
school children are threatened with
tuberculosis in some form through bad
conditions, lack of open air play, poor
nutrition, or weak bodies.
That the work colony would give the
patient with the disease in incipient
form only, whether school child or
adult, an opening to cure himself with
out accepting charity.
That its fruit would be not only
good health. but good character.

Justice Of the Supreme Court Of the

The Balkan Mystery.

Whether Bulgaria and Turkey shall
war, and why, combine to form a
mystery for which diplomacy may find,
or, rather, may offer, solutions, but
which viii long puzzle the man in the
street. Bulgaria has been practically
Independent of Turkey since the sign
ing of that baleful treaty at Berlin
in 1873 whereby Russia was baked
and half states carved out of the
Balkans that Turkey in Europe might
once more live.
1t took thirty years for the mine to
be lighted, but 8u that time it has
lain there ready for the first dI-o-
matist who would set the spark Ger
many, thought to have been isolated
in European diplomacy, may have
prompted Franz Josef to demand that
two provinces be given to Austria, and
Bulgaria to proclaim independence. If
so, he forgot the susceptibilities of his
present Magyar subjects in Hungary,
who loathe Austria heartily, tolerate
him reluctantly, and are not afraid Of
war. They are of the blood of the
provincials he would seize.
But, even with Bulgaria formally
independent las well as really col.
what is gained? a war with Turkey d?
Let it be known that Turkey is never
a mean military adversary, and now
with her spirit rejuvenated will be a
formidable one. A defeat for Bull
garia, with Austrian Intervention. and
all the inevitable conspiracies. i'm
broglios and alliances, plots, massa-
ores, collisions, and disasters, likely to
involve Europe-are they not to be
avoided?
Before the fuse burns too far. it is
prayerfully to be hoped the spark be
eXtinguished.

styles they read about in the fashion
columns.
The world of fashion owes much TO
the stage. The actresses are among
the frst-if not the very frst-to
demonstrate that the latest Creations
can actually be worn and that by
means of them-or in spite of them
women can still be active and at
tractive.

Style and the Stage.

As we glance through the fashion
notes we come across the call TO the
American girl to adapt herself to the
Directoire style. She is hidden get
into a skirt that will barely permit
her to walk; to sit as if she were in
the dentists chair-the style not per
uniting her to sit otherwise; to let
her head bob around over an Eliza
bethan ruff like a sunfower on q
five-foot stalk; to roll about the floor
until she has rubbed out all her angles ::
in short, TO make herself appear as
they do on the stage, where the ae-
tresses show that women are marvels
of patience and endurance.
This last point is worth some con-
sideration, for the stage, like the shop
window, is fashionable to the minute.
Men may not appreciate this fact.
They may even laugh at the gowns
and the hats they see and regard them
as one Of the most comical features of
the musical comedy.
But when the jokes have been worn
out at home, and the tunes hummed
and whistled until everyone is tired
of them, there is as much zest as ever
TO the question: But weren't those
stunning hats they wore in the last
act" The librettist is used to this.
So is the composer. The manager of
the theater takes pleasure in it. For
