AbOut Next Public Printer.
Although no names were mentioned at
the conference yesterday at the White
House between the President and James
NJ. Lynch, president OF the international
Typographical Union. and Thomas c.
Parsons. president OF the local printers
union. It is understood that the two labor
leaders had William $. Rossiter in mind
when they asked the President not to
appoint man who was not practical
printer.
Mr.. Lynch had no candidate for Public
Printer
Much significance is attached to the con-

member OF the American Federation of
Labor to the effect that the influence of
the International Typographical Union
would back Lynch for the position.
President Lynch will remain in the city

He argued that the aggregate taxes of
Petworth would be somewhere near 5000.

A Defense of Newport.

From time immemorial it has been
the journalistic habit to brand Rhode
Islands former semicapital as the hap.
py hunting ground of Mammon and its
votaries. Newport has become the
synonym for all that is obnoxious to
the great majority which has never
felt the magic of its influence or tasted
the sweetness of it's delights. The ac-
cepted view of those who hold the
Newport colony in contempt, albeit
that scorn is tinctured with a gener-
Gus flavor of envy, is that the jewellers
of the exclusive city by the sea are
a group of degenerates upon whose
hands time hangs so heavily that they
are ready to snatch at any prospect of
amusement, no matter how absurd or
depraved, that will serve to release
them from a moment of boredom.
At last an energetic apologist for
the maligned Newporter has risen in
the well groomed person of Mr.. Gou-
verneur Morris, whose very name
should carry conviction, even though
his pen fail to do the trick. He comes
to the defense of the rich leisure class
with a vim that must excite the won
der and admiration of the most langu1d
cliff dweller. What are the facts? he
demands. Instead of waiting for
some one to answer he does it him.
self 1.-THE facts, of course, are" he
declares, "that the rich leisure class
contains perhaps as large a percentage
of honest fathers, good mothers and
we'll brought up children as the poor
working class; that in this respect it
compares favorably even with the
poor leisure class"
Then Mr.. Gouverneur Morris makes
a statement which must have required
all the courage he could summon to
his aid. Hear him: "Now, If there is
ore thing that the American people
cannot and will not Gf they can help
it) stand it is the person who en-
deavors to live his own life in his own
way and mind his own business. The
American considers those who differ
with him in life, means and point of
view not merely inferior but immoral
characters
Is it possible that Mr.. Morris has
made an original discovery?

Helping the Poet.

Longfellow, the great poet, was
noted for his fondness for children,
and this extended to all little folks,
whether of his family or not. This:
was so generally known that great,
many of his visitors were children who
came to entertain and to be enter
tanned
Mrs. Annie Fields gives an extract
from her husbands diary which tells
how one of the poets small friends
tried to show his affection in a prac-
teal way:
IT remember there was one little boy
of whom he was very fond and who
came often to see him. One day the
child looked earnestly at the long row
of books in the library and at length
asked, Have you "Jack the Giant Kill
er?"' Longfellow was obliged to con-
fess that his great library did not con-
tain that venerated volume. The little
fellow looked very sorry and presently
slipped down from the poets knee and
went away. But the next morning
Longfellow saw him coming up the
walk with something tightly clasped
in his little fists. The child had
brought 2 cents with which Longfel-
low was to buy a Jack the Giant
Killer of his own"

BACK FROM EUROPE.
The Right Kind of Homecoming and
the Wrong.

The Right Kind of Homecoming and
the Wrong.
The position of persons who have
just returned from a trip to Europe is
extremely difficult. If it is their first
trip, the most delicate management
will not keep them out of scrapes. For
a full month their popularity is at
stake, and it is three months before
they know whether they have lost or
regained their friends If they come
out of the ordeal well, every one adj
mires them with renewed vigor, for
they have proved themselves to be of
rare metal. If they do not educate
you, if all conversational roads do not
lead to Rome, then they are worthy Of
your best friendship. If as they
leave the ship they say, 81 wonder if
1 can get an evening paper as early as
this" they warm the hearts of those
who came TO meet them; if as they en-
ter their home they exclaim, 81 was
afraid I'd forgotten to close those win
dows," they have brought peace back
with them, and one regrets every min
ute that they were away.
But-and it is so large a buff they
regard you as the only people they
have seen who did not interest them
enough to make them exclaim, "Oh,
see the natives!' if on your saying cit
has been cruelty warm here" they an
swer, ut was warm in London; this
cold 1 have now Is a London cold,"
your heart drops down to your boots
and you know what is in store for you.
When you say, 'The cream is not very
thick" they are bound to answer, "The
cream was remarkably thick in Scot
land, but quite horribly thin in Ma
PIES" Your regret at the cars not
coming brings out of them: ''They have
cars in Rome now. I wonder when we
will have as good cab service here as
they have in London" You think it
may be the WEAKNESS of travel, and
you say: 81 know you want to get into
your bath. You will feel better, 1 am
sure" They pitilessly sing, ooh, the
baths we had in Normandy were so
droll must tell you all about them"
And they do tell you. They mean it
when they say they must. They stop
halfway upstairs and deliver them
selves of the entire tale.
These are the milder types, the aver
age that we have always with us.
There are, one hears, people who tell
you how long the Seine is and how
high the Eiffel tower, and once there
was a man who remembered the pop
ulation of every town and city he had
been in, but we believe something was
done to him. The dear returned trav-
elers who realize the danger they are
in stink around corners for months,
afraid of meeting people and so sue
cumbing to temptation. They blush
with closed lips if you ask them a
question, and it is years afterward
when in intimate friendly converse
that they finally say, "You know when
I was in Ber-I mean Hoboken-I had
an awfully interesting time, and if you

The Awakening Of China.

According to Minister WI, the Chi
nese emperor's able representative in
Washington, the Celestial Kingdom is
in dead earnest today in its efforts to
deserve and maintain its place among
the worlds powers. The old regime
has passed, and progress is in the sad
die. twenty-five years ago Minister
WI was himself a student of western
institutions. He described his troubles
in recent speech to 126 Chinese boys
now being educated in an American
school:
When 1 began learning the English
language competent teachers were not
easily obtainable. Western learning was
deSpiSed, and those who wished to study
1t had to do 1t privately. Foreign edu-
Gated Chinese were sighted and looked
down upon. They were considered almost
barbarianS and traitors. In cases of ne
cessity when their services were required
they were principally employed as trans
lators or interpreters. They were not in
trusted with responsible functions or ap-
pointed to important posts in the govern
ment service 1t is we'll known fact
that upon the return of the 100 govern
ment students to China in 1881 they were
not properly or fairly treated.
But times have happily changed, and
the conditions are at present different.
Western science and knowledge are eager
ly sought after now. What was despised
before is now appreciated. Schools and
colleges for western sciences are being
established everywhere, and students are
sent abroad: hence you are here.
The general cry in China today is
for reforms and for competent men to
carry them out. The reforms demand
ed are social and professional as well
as political. China's eyes have been
opened by the wonderful success of
the Japanese In mastering the methods
in trade, diplomacy and war of the
white race. Her farsighted men
know that she must learn western
ways, and learn them rapidly, or she
will perish as a nation. In referring
to the proposed Chinese-American al
lance Minister WI, pointing to the
Chinese students, said:
The cordial way in which these young
men are received everywhere is crafty
ing as showing how kindly the American
people feel toward those of China. Later
these young men will go home and go to
work, every one a friend of merica,
This you see is something of an alliance
in itself.

BRYAN's POLICIES DESTRUCTIVE
Mr.. Taft Compares Republican and
Democratic Platforms.
(From Mr.. Taft's Speech of Accep-
tance)


The chief difference between the Re-
publican and the Democratic platforms
Is the difference which has heretofore
been seen between the policies OF Mr..
Roosevelt and those which have been
advocated by the Democratic candidate,
Mr. Bryan. Mr.. Roosevelt's policies
lave been progressive and regulative;
Mr. Bryan's destructive. Mr.. Roose-
velt has favored regulation Of the bust
ness in which evils have grown up so
as to stamp out the evils and permit
the business to continue. The tendency
of Mr.. Bryan's proposals has generally
been destructive of the business with re-
Epect to which he is demanding reform.
Mr.. Roosevelt would compel the trusts
to conduct their business in a lawful
manner and secure the benefits of their
operation and the maintenance of the
prosperity of the country of which they
are an important part; while Mr..
Bryan would extirpate and destroy the
entire business in order to stamp out
the evils which they have practiced. y

Twenty Years Welded Lie.

Twenty Years Welded Lie.
On the evening of December
10Th, 1883, Charles A. Harvey
and Frances Barnhart were
united in marriage in Logan.
A very pleasant surprise was
perpetrated on this worthy cou-
pie last Saturday evening in
remembrance of the pleasant
event which occurred twenty
years ago.
Quite a company of the
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
vey were invited by Misses Ad-
cline Barnhart and Helen Allen
who planned the affair, includ-
ing several who were present
at the wedding reception. The
execution of the surprise was
made easy by the fact that
Mrs. Harvey was attending
choir practise and Mr.. Harvey
was detained at the store until
late. When they came home
they found the house full of
guests who enjoyed greatly
their evident total and COM
plete surprise.
Refreshments were served
and after the enjoyment of
these a few of old familiar
songssswere sung and tn, good
nights" were spoken along
with the wish that the host
and hostess might live to en-
joy many more anniversaries.
A number of very pretty
pieces of china were given to
Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey to serve
as reminders in the years to
come of their "China wedding"

Obituary

Elias Worcester Hubbard was
born in Hadley, Mass. June 80,
1880, so was nearly 70 years of
age at the time of his demise.
He came to Wisconsin with his
parents in 1913 settling in the
Walworths county. When a
young man he made an over
land trip to California during
the gold craze and later settled
in Stoughton, Wis. and entered
business in company with L. M.
Kellogg. They were the lead
ing grain buyers in that place.
In 1872 this firm as many Of
you we'll know, settled in this
place. Both retired from bust
ness years ago and Mr.. Hih-
bard led a retired life since
that time. The remains of his
former wife and two daughters
lie in our city cemetery where
his mortal remains were placed
yesterday. He was married to
Mrs. Ann Savers in 1902, who
survives him together with five
nephews and five neices. He
was we'll and most favorab]y
known in this place as in
Stoughton, Chicago and the
place Of his death at Moline, ILL.,.
He was a man of most pleas
ing appearance a warm friend
to all who knew him and his
word was as good as his bond.
He was intending to leave soon
for California where he usually
spent his winters but the All
wise forbade. He will be SADLY
missed by many sorrowing
relatives and friends.
