BAD MANNERS.

 thoughtless than the children. if that
 is possible. How many girls are taught to reply civilly to strangers who come to the door? How many young men and women are so self | centered that they give no thought to ordinary courtesies which should need
 no promptings from others? A wom- an entertained a party of college girls at luncheon on the day of an athletic contest which they were to attend with young men students as escorts. The girls were visitors in the city and the hostess had opened her home in an effort to afford them a pleasant day Just ss the party was leaving the piazza. several boxes of flowers ar rived for the girls. They tore open the boxes, pinned the flowers on their coats. threw the discarded stems and boxes on the piazza floor and left the sheets of tissue paper to he blown
 about the weIl-kept lawn. It would
 have taken hut second to place the boxes inside the open door. and word
 of apology would have explained
 everything satisfactorily. But when the
 hostess saw the paper blowing over
 her lawn and the untidy piazza. she
 resolved to eliminate any more such
 impertinence by not entertaining col

THE APPROVAL OF MIR. ROoSE
 WELT.

The published report that former President Roosevelt had warmly en- dorsed the administration of President Taft must have been gall and worm gents we do not mean those congress- men who rebelled against the rules of the house. but we refer 10 those who attached themselves to that movement and have directed if steadily since against President Taft's ad- ministration.
 They have dwelt with giee upon the displeasure of Mir. Roosevelt at find- ing on his return how his house has been kept in his absence.
 Still, one cannot put his finger upon any of the so-called Roosevelt policies that has been abandoned by President Taft, or on one that has been threat ened with abandonment The most clearly defined of the former presi- dents policies were those relating to conservation Mir. Taft is pursuing them by different methods. seeking to attain the same ends by congressional authority.
 Nothing that President Roosevelt has done has been undone by Presi dent Taft-nothing has been nenaced with undoing.
 The tariff bill, one point of violent insurgent attack, is said to have the approval of Mir Roosevelt It is per baps meant that he approves it as step in the right direction and not as a complete journey. Mir. Taft himself approves it rather as step. the only one it was possible to take, but better than none at all
 The insurgents could not have been sure that they would have the full sympathy of the returning former president in their attacks upon Can- nonism and Aldrichism. They were in existence during the administration of Mir Roosevelt and before it.
 Perhaps if Mir. Roosevelt had re- mained in the White House. Mir. Gar

WHY TT WAS.

The causes of the result of the elec- ton in the Second ward yesterday do not present q problem difficult oi solution There were several reasons for the success of Mir. McDermott The foremost was the confidence bf the voters in his ability and his honesty. Another is that the ward Is naturally republican when there are no complicating issues. It is true that the majority of Mir McDermott was considerably larger than the nat ural majority of the ward. The diff ference between the normal republican vote and the vote he received may be credited to the reactive methods which were employed to accomplish his de- feat.
 As to the defeat of Mir Davidson, there were at least two causes for it. neither of which was a want of confi- dence in either his integrity or ability There was merely no room for an in-
 
 idea which neither regular farty can didate could not represent. There had been offered to the voters in his behalf two entirely artificial issues. artificial in the sense that, while one was all ready disposed of, the other was not available. Their status was recog nized by the voters.
 Mir. Davidson's personality. and his record, even in the overcrowded cam paign. would have won him stronger support had it not been for his un- fortunate attachments. They were discredited from the beginning of the campaign and the methods employed by them threw them into further dis credit
 The people of the Second ward were governed by spirit of fairness and were disposed to punish methods of unfairness.
 The successful candidacy of Mir. Doster, it was believed. might involve change and interruption. things that the people of Phoenix do not want. Events have never moved forward so well as they have done during the past year. The voters would consent to neither possible diversion of the course which Phoenix is now pursuing nor delay. MT. McDermott was the one man of the three whom the voters knew would strengthen the hands of as progressive and clean an admins tration as Phoenix has ever malone in which more has been accomplished than in any other five administra- tions. In view of these things, it is not strange that the vote for Mir. Me Dermott almost equaled the combined vote of the other two candidates.

COTTONSEEp FLOUR.

Before long we may be asking for cottonseed flour instead of the present brands of wheat flour For fifteen or twenty years some inventive persons in Texas have been experimenting with flour made of cottonseed and now they assert they have been successful. The inventors declare the new flour will cost at least one half less than wheat flour and that it's nutritive value is about five times as great. It may not be wise to calculate too confidently on the cheapness of the new flour, be- cause If it goes the way of other "cheap cuts and makes" it will advance in price as soon as housewives are coE- vinced of it's merits and general use results.
