answers returned. and the roll call be-
gins. Senators are not we'll advised about
what has taken place. and the country
not at all. The sum total Of the bill and
the name of the department to which the
money goes reach the general public,
whereas a reasonably full discussion
would convey a good deal of information.
Mr.. Penrose's contention that senators
should give Uncle Sam all of their time
while Congress is in session Is likewise
sound. Sinking outright may not be
charged against any member of the pres
ent Senate, but a few years ago there
were several senators who seemed to turn
up In Washington as old topers turn up at
home-necessity driving. When they had
nowhere else to go-when all other places
were shut up-they took train for this
town and broke their standing pairs by
voting a few times. Their senatorial
duties bored them. They lounged in and
out Of the Senate chamber as If they had
little or no interest in the place.
The Sinking legislator gathers no In
fiuence. Appropriation bills. big or little.
show no impress of his. If days instead
Of hours were devoted to public discus
sions Of them he would occupy none Of
the time, unless there was something In
them for him. The man upon whom the
country depends to stop jobs. provide for
the public support. and make the language
of laws clear and cOurtproof, is he who
puts his commission above all private en-
gagements and interests, and earns his
legislative salary in the sweat Of his face.
Congressional service. when properly rem
dered, is a hard service.

The Penrose-La Toilette ''Spat."

The exchange OF compliments between
Mr.. Penrose and Mr.. La Toilette interests
the country principally on it's sensational
side. 1t stirs the blood to read of such q
scene. Ceremony is the rule in the Sen.
ate, and members sometimes affect re-
spect for each other in debate when they
have 1t not. And then Mr.. Penrose says
30 little at any time. A word Of any kind
from him would have been surprise
but the word that came was like a bolt
from the blue
But let us look at the matter In another
light. And in that light there is some
thing to be said on both sides.
Mr.. La Follette's contention that more
time should be given In the open Senate
for discussion of the big appropriation
bills Is sound. They are examined and
amended practically behind closed doors
and then often rushed to vote in the
Senate after a few hours. 1t would moi
do to say after a few hours of debate

The MODERN BELLE.

The daughter sits in the psrlcr and rocks in
her easy chair.
She is dressed in silks and satins and jewels
are I'm her hair.
She winks and giggles and shippers. and sim
pers and giggles and winks
And though she says but little, It's vastly moro
than she thinks
She lies In bed OF q morning until the hour
Of noon;
Then comes down swapping and snarling be-
she's called too soon.
Her hair is still done up In braidlets: her
cheeks still dabbled With paint
Remains Of last nights bushes before she At
tempted to faint
Her feet are so very little, her hands 90 very
white.
Her jewels 70 very heavy and her head so
very light
Her color Is composed OF cosmetics, though this
she'll never own.
Her body is largely cotton and her heart Is
wholly Of stone
Her father goes clad in his russets, all brown
and seedy at that.
His coat In out at the elbows and be wears
a shocking bad hat.
He Is boarding and saving his dollars so care
fully day by day.
While she on her fads and fances Is squan-
derng them all away.
She falls in love with a fellow who swells with
foreign air.
He marries her for her money and she marrics
him for his hair
It's one Of the very best matches; both are
well mated for life.
She gets fool for q husband and he gets ditto
for q wife.

Prohibition.

John G. Wooley, who was the candidate
of the prohibition party for President in
1900, has withdrawn from that organfza-
ton. In his announcement he says:
Il believe the party has accomplished
all the good it can, and from now on the
most effective work can be carried on out
side its lines. The party reached its
purpose in bringing the liquor question to
a national issue, and it's usefulness ended
there. 1t having passed it's usefulness,
there Is no further necessity for 1t being
kept alive"
The prohibitionists have for years been
acting on the principle that animated the
abolitionists. The anti-slavery leaders
kept up their organization for long
period against many discouragements.
Their efforts seemed all in vain Their
recruits were few. Their leaders were
men Of ability, but their cause was SO
complicated with property rights and con-
stitutional contentious 1t Jagged.
At last the issue became truly national,
and the great campaign of 1860 opened.
Although MIR. Lincoln was not an aboli-
ZIONIST, and stood on no such platform.
his declaration in the debate with Judge
Douglas that the Union could not per-
manently endure half slave and half free
so heartened many OF the abolitionists
that they voted for him. The civil war
followed, and forced his hand on slavery.
But, by his own confession, if he could
have saved the Union without issuing the
emancipation proclamation he would have
done so.
The prohibition question is now Of
widespread interest, and has a far larger
following than ever before. But can it
-
the victories recently won in the south
changed the political conditions there in
the slightest? Is there any reason to be-
lieve that Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama
and North Carolina will demand of the
democratic national convention in 1912 "a
prohibition plank in the platform? Or
that should their party refuse such de-
mand, and the republican party adopt
such a plank, those states would support
the republican national ticket?
Still, Mr.. Wooley presents an interest
ing proposition. Prohibition is not a ma
tional question now, but can it be made
one? And, If SO, how soon? Like the
anti-slavery question, 1t is complicated
with large property rights. The whisky
and the brewing interests complain that
prohibition is confiscatioh. Property of the
value of hundreds of millions Is in the
scale, and would be destroyed by the en-
actment of a national prohibition law.
This. then. in the event of the adoption
of the prohibition policy by either of the
two great parties. would enter into the
campaign. Would the appeal be made
for prohibition with compensation, or
without it? Mr.. Lincoln favored policy
of remunerating the slave owners, but
was overruled by his cabinet, and the
northern states agreed with the cabinet.

KNOX.

From the Scranton Tribune.
OF course Mr.. Knox mentally
equipped for position in the Taft
cabinet from the start. and now that
he is consttutionally qualified the in
cident can be closed.
From the Birmingham Age Herald.
Secretary of State Knox will have the
satisfaction of knowing that he is worth
more money than the law allows. He
will stand quite alone in that respect.
From the indianapolis News
Other eminent statesmen who thought
they saw possibility ahead of them
must now reluctantly admit that they
were mistaken. Mr.. Knox will be in the
cabinet.
From the Charleston News and Courier.
Having successfully undergone a con-
gressional operation, Mr.. Knox is fit for
the cabinet.
From the Columbus. Ohio. State Journal.
Anyhow, Senator Knox is going to get
a $500 raise, which looks good to some of
us.
From the Detroit Journal
After all, what is the Constitution be-
tween such friends as Secretary of State
to-be Knox and the American people?
From the Milwaukee Journal.
You mustn't talk to Senator Knox about
the Constitutions being a dead letter.
He is sensitive on that point.

CANAL TALK.

From the Baltimore Star.
1t is useless to try TO make the Gatun
dam hold back the flood Of idle talk.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Pessimists on the Panama canal belong
to the same class who opened a fire in
the rear on President Lincoln when he
was trying to save the Union.
From the Rochester Post Express.
Taft says that he is satisfied with the
progress that is being made on the
Panama canal. The people who have
never been on the isthmus and who know
nothing about the subject will continue
TO be dissatisfied as before.
From the Memphis News Scimetar.
The cost of the Panama canal cannot
be estimated with any degree of accuracy.
If only it does the service intended. II
will be worth whatever it costs.
From the Birmingham News.
There seems to be powerful DISPOSE
ton on the part of those who know
little or nothing about canals to keep
the discussion going in Congress. Mean
time the men who are at work on the
proposition in Panama just smile and
continue to dig.
From the Council Bluffs NonparieI.
1t is gratifying to know that thus far
nobody has threatened to parallel the
Panama canal with competitive enter
prise.

GIRLS.

When Adam wooed the charming Eve,
There were no ten-cent magazines:
But had there been. I now believe.
In glaring reds and blues and greens,
Some artist would have pictured her.
To set the brain OF man awhirl:
Expressing thus the popular
Conception of 1.-The fig leaf-girl.
Since then the hoop skirt girl we've known.
The girl who wore the polonafse
Once gave q magazine some tone
And won for II Its share OF praise.
The tandem girl we used to view,
The roller skating girl we've seen;
For girls adopt each fad that's new.
In every ten-cent magazine.
The bathing girl. the golnng girl.
We've had-the girl for outdoor sport;
The dancing girl with dress awhiri.
The girl upon the tennis court:
The girl who runs q chadng dish.
The bridge whist girl who trumps ysuf sect
The summer girl who likes to hsh.
The winter girl with laughing face.
The autumn girl with crown OF leayes, Z
The Lepten girl in gown Of cray;
The college girl, In flowing sleeves.
Have each and every had their DAY;
Just now the auto girl 10 queen,
But soon she'll cease to be the rage;
Tomorrow in some magazine
The airship girl will rule the page.

store 1.-The erring sisters to their rightful
place In the councils of the nation he per-
mitted himself In more than one emer-
gency to be Influenced by the evil advice
OF the members Of his official family
1.-The erring sisters construction of mat
tiers attributed to Mr.. Lincoln? The
News and Courier mods. That was the
idea of Horace Greeley-at once an agi-
tator and a sentimentalist of the first
order. Mr.. Greeley, who stood largely
responsible for the conditions that had
brought on the war. began to shuttle as
soon as the sky darkened He wanted
1.-The erring sisters to be permitted to
.'go In peace But Mr.. Lincoln, who
had all along spoken against war and
in every way tried to prevent war. &C
cepted the challenge when 1t came and
appealed to the country to hold 1.-The
erring sisters to their national allie
glance by force. The country responded,
and Mr. Greeley's proposition fell into
contempt. And the south today, as much
as any other section of the country, re-
joices in the fact that In that great
crisis not a sentimentalist like Mr.. Gree
ley, but a resolute man of good heart
and sound sense like Mr.. Lincoln, was
at the helm.
In concluding, the News and Courier
bestows its patronage and approval on
Mr.. Lincoln in these terms:
I'VE prefer to think of Mr.. Lincoln as
the one man among all those who were
arrayed on the other side who would
have brought peace to the country after
the horrors of war. We refuse to accept
the Interpretation of his motives and
disposition offered by our Washington
contemporary. We prefer to think that
the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln was
the greatest crime of the nineteenth
century, and one of the greatest crimes
ever committed in the history of the
world But, of course, we do not know
Mr.. Lincoln as we'll as his idolaters. We
should hate to think that if he had lived
the south would have been doomed to
even severer punishment than it suffered
from the hands Of his successors in au-
thority.
Yes, yes. Beware of the Greeks bear
ing gifts" Eulogies of Mr.. Lincoln which
take the form Of denunciation of the men
with whom he labored and without whose
assistance he could not have succeeded
in saving the Union, lack either the per-
suasiveness of sincerity OF the force of
the facts.

A Reversal to Type.

The New York actress who is seeking
a separation from her manager husband
because she is weary of the stage and
wants to lead domestic life wins gen.
eral sympathy. Few stage women ever
express desire TO darn socks" They
rarely tire of the footlight glare and the
glamour of the mimic world in which
they play leading parts. For one such as
this exceptional woman who longs for
the comforts of a home there are hun
dreds of girls who dream of gaining a
foothold upon the stage. These latter
see the case only from one angle. They
witness performances in which beautiful
women are handsomely gowned, and they
hear the applause that greets the favor
ties. They read of the good times the
stage people have, the dinners they en-
Joy, the attentions they receive. They
long to join the ranks in order to be
themselves in the public eye and the
objects of personal. fattering considera-
ton. They do not see the "one- night
stands the wretched hotels, the cold or
stuffy railway cars. the poorly appointed
playhouses. They do not know of the
hard work at rehearsaIs the heart-break-
ing waits for engagements. the discourage
racking strain of learning lines, the ex-
pense of costuming, the chance of fail
IRE, the jealousy of rivals. They do not
reckon the slender chances of success.
All of them aspire to starship. and most
OF those who venture must be content
with chorus places or walking parts"
certainly for several seasons. They fail
TO take into account the possibility that
the plays may fall fiat, as many plays
do In short, they see only the success
and triumph of the stage and none of its
serdid experiences.
1t would make for more general con-
fentment with home life If the pathetic
plea Of this particular actress were read
by every young woman In the land. Few
er hearts would be broken and fewer
spirits crushed behind the scenes Per
haps the art of the stage Is enriched
by the sufferings of the men and women
who chafe under the letters of their
chosen work 1t Is said that no woman
becomes a really great actress until she
has known all the emotions and endured
the greatest sorrows. The price paid is a
high one.

Mr.. Lincoln and Reconstruction

In some observations the other day on
the subject Of Mr.. Lincoln and recon-
struction. The Star stated that as the
President was no sentimentalist those who
imagined him pursuing a milk-and-water
policy between 1885 and 1859 did not know
the man. To this the Charleston News
and Courier makes reply:
That is to say. II Mr. Lincoln had
lived. in the opinion Of this interpreter of
his purposes. the south would still have
been compelled to pass through the fires
of reconstruction"
Reconstruction in some form was a
necessity. What form Mr.. Lincoln would
have urged is an open question. The Star
offered no views except to say that as Mr..
Lincoln was greatly Andrew Johnson's SUI
perior In every particular. his course
would have been an improvement on that
Mr. johnson took. There seems no great
reason to doubt that.
Then, replying to It's own misinterpreta-
ton of The Star. the News and Courier
says:
1--WE do not believe 1t; we do not want
to believe 1t, yet it must be said that,
more than once during his administra-
ton. Mr.. Lincoln's good intentions to-
ward the south and its people and as to
the conduct Of the war were affected adj
versely to southern interests by Mr.. Lin
coins advisers. In spite Of his nobility
of sentiment and his disposition to re-
