Opinion
The Presidential Costume.

The, presidential Costume.
Washington Star.
The unwritten law that the President
Of the United States shall not leave the
territory Of this country was recently
violated for few minutes when Mr..
Taft stepped upon Mexican soil to pay
brief official visit to the chief executive
Of that republic. One OF the results of the
encounter clearly proves the wisdom OF
the tradition that the American executive
should stay at home during his term Of
office. AS long as he is within his own
I boundaries comparisons are not possible
between him and other rulers. 1t is true
tnat he comes In contact with re. plendent
representatives of foreign governments,
and is now and then surrounded by
blazing uniforms on full-dress occa- ions.
but he does not meet those Of relatively
his own official rank face to face, and his
lack OF a distinctive costume is not no
| ticeable
II appears that they have different
ideas down in Mexico from those that
obtain here regarding the matter Of presi-
Dental trimmings. President Dlaz, for ex-
ample, has one uniform that cost twenty
hve thousand francs in Paris. which Is
little less than nve thousand dollars.
one can imagine the uproar in the back
districts OF the United States II Congress
should appropriate such sum for the
official costume OF the President In
Mexico. however, the chief executive
would seriously lose prestige if he did
not deck himself out with all the SYM
bols Of military power.
The Mexican editor who complains that
Mr.. Taft did not dress appropriately when
he met Mr.. Diaz and that he was not suf-
fciently escorted by a gorgeous array Of
troops, ought to come to Washington and
peep In at a session OF the House Of Rep
resentatives some warm spring day ana
note the many varieties OF neglIgee which
there obtain. He would probably return
to his provincial town and empty his ink
well in an effort to express in the hottest
Spanish his contempt for a so-called civ
ilizaton guided by lawmakers Of such
shion-defying independence.
During a recent administration some
fears were expressed by a few appre-
hensive citizens lest a tendency toward
ulcFldg WNIe D1lub hidnlAcoteu III SNA foli
high quarters, and mutterings OF mill
tarism" were heard from the rural re-
gions. But these gloomy questionings
were in vain. No one proposed a presi'
dental uniform. The nearest approach &c
distinctive executive garb was a pail
Of leggins. a blue shirt and slouch hat
Very likely II the President Of that perioo
had gone to Mexico and had followed hts
own inclinati0ns on the occasion OF hil
meeting with President Diaz, he wouls
have thrown our nearest neighbors int
spasms OF sympathy for people so swift
ly headed for barbarism.
Mr. Taft's wilted collar is not worrying
the people OF the United states. nor dc
his loose and easy clothes giv> the pub
lie any occasion TO doubt his entire fitness
as regards personal dignity, for the officl
he holds. As long as he makes himself
comfortable and thinks clearly and act
wisely there will be no domestic discon
tent with his dress.

COLLEGE WOMEN
GET BEST HUSBANDS

CINCINNATI. Ohio, Nov. 1.-The col
lege woman is the better equipped to
serve In the home and for the uplift
of humanity. according to the consen-
sus Of opinion shown in the discus
sions in the annual convention of the
Association of Collegiate Alumnae in
session here. This organization is
composed entirely of college women
from all parts of the country who are
graduates Of the "a leading women's
colleges.
Miss NJ. Cary Thomas, president Of
Bryn-Mawr College, chairman of a
committee that has been taking statis-
tics on college women in the United
States, reports that when men and wo-
men are educated together there is no
greater number of marriages than
when the sexes are educated separate
ly; that us out OF 1000 college women
enjoy excellent health; only eight COL
lege women out OF 1000 have i'll health;
that the health Of women improves
while in college; that college women
in general have better health than wo-
men who do not attend college; tha:
college women marry stronger men
and they choose more wisely, and these
are men with little larger incomes,
and that one-third Of the husbands
OF college women have higher salaries
on the average than the husbands OF
women who have never attended coll
lege.
AS to bearing children,sAIiss Thomas
declared college women had and 6-lC
children, while non-college women had
3 and $40. So college women were in
the lead slightly, although they mar
ried later in life than women who never
attended college.

ELECTION FRAUDS.

pretty hard III many PAGES to convict
~e accused of violating the election
laws. Last year a ballot box used in a
primary election in Jersey City was stuffed.
The box had been fitted with an extra compart-
ment to hold the illegal ballots. This box was
brought to the Republican State Commttee--the
election primary contest The committee
declined to take action. They should have pros
ecuted the offenders. What right has a COM
mittee to be silent when a member of the party
who aspires to a nomination is cheated and de-
frauded out of an equal opportunity with another
man7
After a delay of more than eighteen months,
the four officers who conducted the fraudulent
primary election were tried and acquitted, to the
astonishment of the judge and the prosecutor.
The best the defense had hoped for was
hung jury" The counsel for the defense made
plea that fraud could be palliated in primary
election, but it should not be countenanced in
a general election strange view to take The
jury which rendered the remarkable verdict was
a Struck Jury" composed Of men presumably
more intelligent than the average jury
The verdict has caused dsmay among those
persons in New Jersey who have been working
for better elections. AS one Of them argues
primary election laws ballot systems and all
that are of little value if the laws cannot be
enforced
But on the other hand, Pennsylvania Judge
recently sentenced violators of the election laws
to prison, and for a similar offense several men
were sent to jail for FIVE months in New York

NO MORE HOOKWORM
RECRUITS FOR ARMY

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1--How the
eradication of the hookworm disease.
as proposed by John d. Rockefeller in
his gift of one million for that pur-
pose, may benefit the Army and Navy
was explained to-day by Sergeant Gem
eral Rixey Of the Navy Department.
''The military services" said he,
have been affected by reason of many
applicants from the districts infected
by the hookworm being physically dis
qualified for enlistment. Only in the
last year or two has it been discovered
that a considerable proportion of re-
cruits accepted from the districts in
fected with the hookworm harbored
the parasite. Both the Army and
Navy have taken steps to prevent
further enlistment OF such recruits. A
glance at the recruiting statistics show
that at many of the Southern stations
the number of reflections considerably
exceeded the acceptances, while for the
country at large the condition was re-
versed for the year 1908.
''To what extent the hookworn dis
ease has been an indirect cause of this
state Of affairs is. of course, dificult
of precise determination but that it has
been largely contributory few examin-
ing surgeons question. I trust the
campaign Of education which DR.. stiles
has undertaken and the means Of erad-
ication which such an authority can
suggest will, through the aid of this
princely gift, receive such moral sup
port that we may soon begin to wit
ness the decline of the disease as was
found TO occur in Porto Rico after the
work Of q 2 anaemia commission in
that island tx years ago."

WHISPER METHOD ON cANNoN.

a Cannon Speaker of the House, seems to
scheme to quiet troublesome Uncle Joe
has developed The other night OH a boat
going down the Mississippi River, the cabin, il
seems, was converted into a whispering gallery,
and amid the quiet of the night, when even the
fishes could not hear Uncle Joe was gently told
that he had better get out, quit, retire or things
would go wrong They said that only Taft this
time could save him from defeat. Just how
Uncle Joe received the whispers is not recorded,
but the next day it was reported that the boat
was several hours late on the trip and perhaps
Uncle Joe swore so hard that the machinery was
shocked out of gear.
The plan 10 dispose of the Speaker is new.
They have been after Uncle Joe's scalp for some
time years in fact, that is, Mr. Gompers, Con-
gresham Fowler, Senator LaFollette and sew
eral others have been, but he replied that he
would hold the fort and die with his boots on.
-. is unlikely, therefore, that the Speaker will
obev~the 9daonfdons~ the self-constituted
committee to exterminate him politically. Uncle
Toe made hard fight against the Independents,
the insurgents, the magazine uplitters, but he
was able to call on enough of the Democrats to
help him out of a tight place. 1t may be that
the insurgents have built fire around him and
that he is already walking on the Goals, but he
shows no indication of it. And if he gives up
the fight before he is whipped, he will be a
different Uncle Joe from the one we have known.

THE coLoREn VOTERS.

a CCORDING to the Dover Republican a
story is circulating in the lower part OF
the state to the effect that an organization OF
colored men is forming with the view OF
voting independently at the next election The
Republican thinks the story a fake" This tale
is a trihe stale Such stories have been
circulating for years. Long ago the Democratic
leaders thought they saw a chance to gain votes
from the negroes. Much was the money they
spent in the effort and little reward. During the
last campaign a club was formed in this city.
They didn't gather many voters, a handful or
So
We presume they will again make the effort.
The story at this time may have been the re-
suit of the sudden changing of number OF
negro voters in the Second Ward. 1t was
shown-that is, in testimony before City Coun-
cil-that a number of colored men, half dozen
or thereabouts, had suddenly determined to vote
the Democratic ticket
Then the Democratic paper announced that it
was the beginning Of the breaking of the
shackles" that had held them to the Republican
party. Visions of a widely spreading independ-
ent negro movement were seen one day, but the
next day the negro was held up as a man with
out a party.
In view of the desire of many Democrats of
Delaware to try the scheme that is being at
tempted in Maryland to disfranchise by the
wholesale the negroes while the white aoaters
are not touched, we should think any independ-
ent movement so-called, among the negroes
would make little headway.
