WHAT IF?"

A republican politician speaking at an
Omaha banquet board demanded: "What
would have happened If the democratic
party had been in power during the re-
cent financial crisis?"
The Omaha World. Herald answered
the question in this vigorous fashion:
IF the democratic party hat been in
rover the government might have taxed
the people to pay interest on money do
mated for the free and unrestricted use OF
the Wall Street gam blers!
"If the democratic party had been in
power the United States treasury might
have been stripped of all its cash, and
the cash have been given, interest free,
to these same Wall Street gamblers. that
they might lend it ont at exorbitant in
terest, to the people who had paid it in.
to the treasury and to whom it belonged
''If the democratic party had been in
power the United States might have
tottered into the yawning chasm OF utter
and irretrevable ruin unless John d.
Rockefeller and J. Pierpont Morgan had
generously stepped to the front to save it
just az it was topping over the brink
eff the democratic party had been in
power men might have been thrown out
of work, mills might have closed, wages
might have been reduced, guardians of
the national honor might have commit
tsd suicide, and hundred thousand
homeless and hungry men might be
tramping the streets of New York
"Worse than that! Cows would re.
fuse to give milk, hens to lay eggs, the
sun to shine, the crops to grow, the trains
to run, the country would have been
devastated by fire and food and earth.
quake; in the Stygian darkness of the
MONDAY streets men would have crouched
in despair before the portals of their
closed establishments, fearing to raise
their heads and dreading to look into
one another's eyes
''It would have been fierce, and no
mistake, if the democratic party had
been in power!'

Unqraceful Habits.

Many woman, although plain Of
face. commands admiration on account
Of her graceful carriage and we'll pois-
ed figure. But women are so apt to
neglect this fact that they pass over
the Importance Of bodily poise in cult
waiting their facial beauty. Eight out
of ten women have a disjointed way
Of walking. The hips are allowed to
sag, making the abdomen prominent
The shoulders droop, and the head is
pOked forward instead of being held
erect Many women have habit Of
coming down heavily on the heels, jar
ring the whole body and making the
hips and shoulders move in an ungain-
ly way, says an exchange. Another
bad habit is that Of turning one foot
In, and sometimes both feet, giving the
body crablike motion that Is any
thing but graceful. 1t is a mistaken
idea that ones walk is like ones fea-
lures, Interchangeable On the contrary,
any woman can have an erect, we'll
posed, graceful figure if she be willing
to take the time and trouble to correct
bad habits.

The ORIGIN of "Etiquette."

The French word etiquette really
means label" or ticket" How.
then. comes it to denote conventional
forms of ceremony" which is the def
milton given in Nuttall's dictionary?
1t is said that a certain Scottish gar
dener, in charge of Louis XIV's gar
den at Versailles, was very much put
out because the courtiers walked over
his beds. To keep off these trespassers
he placed labels or tickets-e tiquettes
at various spots, with instructions as
to the proper path. At first the naughty
courtiers did not deign to notice these
placards, but a hint from high quarters
that their walks in future must be
within the etiquettes compelled their
obedience.
Thus, according to the story, origi-
mated our present use Of the word "eti-
Quette,"

FOR GOOD ROADS
Illustrated Lecture by EX-
Pert at the Grand
Theater Friday
Evening.

The "Good Roads" meeting at tile
Grand theater Friday night was not as
we'll attended as the Importance of the
subject demanded, but fair sized audi
ence OF representative citizens OF Aber-
deem and Hoquiam were present, and all
were amply repaid by the able talks that
were made on the subject Of road build
ing-by far the most important matter
before the people Of this section today.
The meeting was presided over by
Mayor France, who introduced Samuel
Lancaster as the first speaker. Mr..
Lancaster is under direction OF the Unit
ed States agricultural department, and
is engaged entirely in All educational
campaign for good roads, and is an expert
onthe subject. His lecture, which oc.
cupied nearly two hours, was listened to
with marked attention, and was illus
trated with views of roads in all parts Of
the world. He called attention to the
possibilities OF this section az an agri.
cultural and dairy region when the tim
Der was removed, and to the urgency TIN at
roads be built now, while the timber
was standing, so that it would stand part
OF tine cost OF the development OF the
country.
He was followed by Hon. Samuel Hill, ,
president of the Washington Good Roads
Association, who made a brief talk.
State Road Commissioner Snow spoke
on road building from practical stand
point. and cited the road around the
bluff as an instance of the persistency Of
G. M. Powell, who refused to take the
say so of the N. p. engineers that the
road could not be built. and the road was
there. The way to get roads was 10
build them.
After the meeting the distinguished
visitors were entertained at a banquet at
Hotel Washington, where few informal
speeches on the subject were made.

ace For Post Cards.

After every ardent collector of post
cards has filed a few albums she be
gins to yearn for another mode of
classifying and arranging her still
growing fad. And, knowing this, Il
clever person has evolved the charm
ing idea of utilizing these decorative
cards in house decorating purposes
with amazingly artistic results.
One has a chance for great ingenuity
and originality in the making of
screens. panels or boXes-small ones
for gloves and handkerchiefs and large
ones for ones delicate blouses, pretty
corner cupboards, mirror frames,
friezes for the nursery, with appro-
pirate cards, or for ones own dainty
bedroom with quite another sort Of
cards, or still another kind for bill

THE SYSTEM.

Louis +. Post, writing in 1.-THE Public"
says:
"Of course the great big fact behind
the inspired camor against Bryan, is the
weakening OF party distinctions along old
political divisions. The democratic
masses have learned, and the republican
masses are learning, what the financial
bandi,t learned long ago, that the true
political cleavage is no longer along re-
publican and democratic party lines. 1t
is between public rights and privileged
interests. Mr.. Bryan stands firmly in
spirit whether in plan or not is Of less
immediate Importance to both eides)
against the aggressions Of the interests.
For this reason they are against him in
the democratic party as they are against
LaFollette in the republican party.
That they are against him because his
plans may be bad, it would be folly to
suppose. They never fear public man
with bad plans, being expert about
plans themselves; but they do fear man
who has an invincible moral purpose, as
Bryan has. Belhis present plans defect.
i've or not, if his moral purpose is rigid
and his goal the destruction Of the para
sitical game upon which they flourish
and for the perpetuation Of which they
seek to control all.effective party organi-
cations, they fear him and ridicule him
and misrepresent him, This is the Sc
cret of tie opposition to Bryan, but isn't
