BRANDENBURG NOT GUILTY.

BRANDENBURG NO1 GULL g.
The acquittal of Broughton Branden
burg in New York is not surprising. He
was indicted for grand larceny arising
from the sale to the New York Times
of a letter to which, as he asserted, he
had obtained the signature of Grover
Cleveland. The signature has been de-
flared forgery. In the letter Bryan
was discredited while Taft was praised
as a manwho was not only safe and
sound but that he should be elected to
the presidency.
Such a letter, in bold type and con-
spicuously published in the New York
Times, aenewspaper whose claim for
fairness and reliability was not then in
question, created not only sensation
but provoked the friends of Bryan to
the most vigorous protests and denun-
Citations.
When the publication of this letter
had its effect, as was intended, the New
York Times explained, in type and in
position relieved of conspicuousness,
how the letter had been obtained after
it had been hawked about for price.
In the meantime the letter had been
pronounced base forgery. Subse-
quently Brandenburg was indicted for
grand larceny, which was peculiar since
he could not have stolen what was his
own property. He should have been
convicted for forgery, but he was not.
However, in this disreputable transac-
| ton there has been demonstrated the
depravity of the human being who
would trade his body and soul for
money, and the beings in high places
who, in their political zeal, would not
hesitate to stab in the back and wreck
the character of an honest man.
For such miserable being as Bran
denburg and those who were allied with
him in this crime there can be only that
contempt which can not be expressed i'll
words.

DEMOCRATS TAINTED.

During an after-dinner speech, in ad-
dressing the graduates of Yale gathered
at the alumni festivities at New Haven
on Jufe 80, President Taft INDUCED in
some humor, especially when he applied
good-natured taunts to Democrats.
In the course of his remarks he con-
ceded that the Republicans must fulfill
their promises to the people or be rele-
gated by defeatot to become the minority
party.
"What is a Democrat7" he queried.
Answering this he explained that he
had been given certain rules for the
construction of the pure food law as to
what whiskey is. He said there is
straight" whiskey and there is "recti-
fled" whiskey and there is imitation
whiskey. He had in his Cabinet his
friend Dickinson, Democrat, but in
referring to him, as Democrat, would
speak with great deal of hesitation in
saying whether Dickson was Straight
Democrat or a "rectihed' Democrat,
1
but he would not dare say in his pres
ence that he was an imitation" Demo
crat.
These facetious remarks of the Pres.
ident may well be applied to the "imlta-
ton" Democrats who joined Cannon
and his allies in perpetuating power
in Congress which has been denounced
vigorously but Intellectually by all free
men. If ever the Democrats in Com
gress had the opportunity of striking
| the shackles of the gag imposed by Can.
nonism on free speech, it was at the
opening of the present session of Con,
gress, when with the Republicans who
had revolted against Cannon there
would have been votes sufficient with
the Democrats united to defeat Cannon
and with his retirement as Speaks
there would have followed clearing
of the political atmosphere. 1t was il
this emergency that so-called Demo
Gratis, allured by the glitter of Cannon
ism and its reward, forfeited their allie
glance to the party by whom they hat
been honored and trusted.
| How can these so-called Democrat
be classified? They are neither Straight,
"rectifed" nor limitation" Democrats
and must stand in a class of their own
Perhaps the most appropriate designa
tim of such men is Cannon" Demo
Gratis.
What is Democrat?
| A Democrat, especially in Congress
is one who is loyal to the teachings ant
the principles of his party, man VIII
Iywill not betray the trust of the peopl
who can not and will not be swerve,
from duty by the al1urements of Can
nonism.
In time the people will retire ever.
| Cannon" Democrat now in Congress
| Unwittingly President Taft has rem
dered a great service to the Democrac
| by his taunt of Democrats. 1t was i
good temper and timely, and it will hav
its effect in exposing glaringly the in
consistencies of the men who while liv
cried as Democrats have failed in tn
fulhlment of their duty to their part
| and to the people by whom they hav
fheen honored.

FOOD TO A SCIENCE.
Mrs. Christian Will Show Working
Women What to Eat.

Women What to Eat.
Originality has ceased to be a purely
masculine virtue There are many
women who are thinking along novel
lines, and this mossbacked old world
is the better for it.
One of these is Mrs Eugene Chris
tian of New York. Ideas which are
not OF the common come just as nat
urally to her as worry wrinkles to
other women. and, by the way, she
has none of these herself, probably as
a result of her bright and CHEEKY
method of thinking However, this is
her latest:
She is going to give a series of din
ners to workingwomen of different
classes-one to nurses. one to shop
girls, and to stenographers. actresses,
teachers, etc. These dinners are for
the purpose of teaching them what to
eat. Sound odd? Not bit. There
are plenty Of people to tell these wom-
en- what to wear and some what to
think, but who takes the trouble to
inform them how to gain strength
and mental brilliancy, not to speak Of
looks, by eating only the kinds of food
suited to their needs? Some of them
need starch, some need acid-nOt so
many of these-and still others need
some particular combination to stim-
ulate a sluggish system with life. and
that is what Mrs. Christian is going TO
illustrate to them in this delightful way
Seated in the light Of pink candles
and served by the charming hostess
and her assistants, the shopgirl will
learn that she must not live on pies
and pickles if she wants to keep from
breaking down. and the ac rtss will
| find out that she can absorb ali the
late suppers she wants-Of certain
foeds-and yet preserve her ipless fig
ure. It's all in the KNOWN :!

great audiences composed OF critics,
before men and women Of the more
refined classes. for the people VINO

of Anna Case if Herr Direktor DippeI
and Signor Gatti-CasazZa and Con-

And when the season which opens
next autumn is over, provided the Jer-

pectations, a journey to Europe TO
study in lands she never dreamed OF
seeing, under the direction of great
maestros, until she has perfected her
self for parts that will cause her name
to be printed in big type along with
the names of famous men and women

this Jersey girl believe that every lad

his way to take a train for New York,
he heard a soprano voice in the choir.
He stepped out of his mOtorcar and
entered the sanctuary, He sat in a
pew near the entrance until after the
postlude and benediction. Then he
| went to the choir loft and asked for the
soprano. Miss Case was pointed out.
| The impresario introduced himself.
| He asked her how she would like to
| sing for him. She did not understand.
| She replied that she would not care to
join any light opera company. Be
sides, she did not think her father
| would consent. Herr Direktor again
spoke his name and explained that he
| wanted her to sing in grand opera.
| The young lady had scarcely recovered
from the first shock. She managed to
reply, "Oh I should like tor Herr
Dippel exclaimed. Good, good!' And
then he arranged for her to go to the
Metropolitan Opera House, in New
York city, the next afternoon. With
this he proceeded on his way.
She was at the appointed place at

her to Signor Gatti-Casazza and Con
ductor Hertz. She handed her music
to an accompanist. The first trial was
an aria from Carmen" AS soon as
she had finished the musicians in
chorus cried out, "Brava, bravis-
simaw What did it mean? AS she
stood half frightened one of the musi

he repeated his request. Recovering
from her nervousness, which had come
upon her after her first effort, she sang

Then she was asked to wait. The
three musicians retired and consulted

beautiful blue eyes. She is an attrac-

At the time Of her marriage to Mr..

She is especially prominent just now
by reason of the fact that her husband

United Dry Goods company, with a
capital of $51,0O0,000. The property
acquired by the new corporation in
cludes the II. B. Clafiin company and

was chartered by the state department
of Delaware. Thomas f. Bayard, son
of the late Ambassador Bayard, is one
OF the incorporators and resident dl-
rector in Delaware. The formation of
the company is the development of the
project that had its first expression in
the formation Of the Associated Mer-
chants company. which was incorpo-
rated In Connecticut in 1901, with a
capital Of $170000O0. to take over the
