The President i'm Politics.

General politics occupy much of the
Presidents time. Diplomatically but
persstently he is devoting the hours he
can spare to further efforts to place the
State organizations in Ohio, New York
and elsewhere in fighting trim He is
behind the demand for a thoro house
cleaning in New York State, and has
not been discouraged by the temporary
triumph of the old leaders organization
in the Empire State.
Republicans thruout the country have
been stimulated toward putting their
houses in order by the special
election of few days ago
in the 14th Massachusetts dis
trict. 1t has probably been the great
est Republican stronghold in New Eng
land, and never till last week had it
elected a Democrat to the National
House. The late Representative Lover
ing had $4,000 majority there in 1908
and 1900 majority in 1906. But the
Republican candidate, VIM. r. Buchan-
an. of Rrockton. former Democrat.
was defeated by 5.640 votes. His sue
cessful Democratic opponent was Eu-
gene n. Foss. of Boston, a former Re-
publican, who was not resident of the
district. \ factional quarrel among the
Republicans contributed to this over
turning, but the result none the less has
made a profound impression upon the
President and upon the Republicans in
Congress.
1t has stirred the Republican Con-
gressional Committee to more vigorous
preparations for the campaign, and in
this the committee is having the Presi-
dents cordial cooperation. The Re-
publicans usually do best when they are
scared, and the election in the 14th
Massachusetts District may have this
compensation from the Administration
standpoint.

Mrs. Bertha Lincoln Hustis. of Du-
buQue, Iowa, daughter of former De-
partment Commander Charles p. Lin
coin, of this city, is a candidate for
Vice President-General of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution at the
coming Continental Congress. Mrs.
Hustis has been for several terms Re-
gent of the Dubuque Chapter. and is
the unanimous choice of her city for
the Office. She is a member of the So
ciety of Mayflower Descendants, and
is a Colonial Dame and belongs to many
other patriotic societies. She is very
well liked in all of these. and will prob
ably get what she is after
The National tribune., 1910-03-31

The United States is decidedly in
favor of building home for Vice Pres
idents Of the United States. There is
no reason in the world why this should
not be done. A Vice Presidents salary
is insufficient TO permit him to live as
people expect him to live, when he is
second in power in the National Gov
ernment, and he should hare an off,
cial home provided for him exactly as
is provided for the President. He has
to entertain more layishly than any
other Government official excepting the
President, and the demands upon him
are so great that ii is simply impossi-
bic for a poor man to be Vice PreSi-
dent.

Daylight dances are the latest society
fad III Washington. The dances are
entirely original entertainments, and no
men are present. Much of the dancing
is in the Greek style, made fashionable
by Isadore Duncan, and bare feet and
flowing draperies are the rule. Most
of these dancers are deyotees of the
Open Air Club. They usually meet
ealy in the morning, and the windows
and doors of the room in which they
meet are thrown wide open. This was
called "Lenten entertainment" 1t prob
ably was called SO because the men
were not allowed TO appear.

Mrs. Margaret Custer Maughan, 81
years old. died in New York last week
She was the sister of Gen. George A.
Custer, who was killed at the battle of
the Little Big Horn in 1876. She also
lost her two other brothers, Lieut. Bos-
ton Custer and Capt. Thomas Custer,
and her nephew, Oily Reid, in that
same battle. Mrs. Maughan's first hus-
band, Lieut.. James Calhoun, completed
the list in that awful tragedy of her

Not Hunting Trouble.

The President has continued to hold
far aloof from the House quarrel, but
he has been directing some very Wig
orous work in lining up votes for par
tcular bills. He wants Congress to
vote for two large new dreadnaughts
on the naval appropriation bill As
these ships cost enormous sums both
for construction and maintenance, the
advocates of economy in expenditures.
headed by Representative Tawney,
Chairman of Appropriations. as well as
the advocates of a small but efficient
Navy, have been aligning their sympa-
thiZers for voting only one battleshfp,
or even for none at all.
A very careful count of the 391 noses
in the House has been made to deter
mine how the vote on the two-battIe-
ship program is likely to eventuate. The
President has asked his more enthu-
siastic friends there to bear n hand,
andSat present it looks as tho he would
win. But the majority is not large
enough to warrant any lull in activity.
There is to be big debate on the sub
1ect this week, and the Presidents
friends have been preparing speeches in
defense of their position.
The National tribune., 1910-03-31

= Senator Daniel, who is still at Day
tona, Fla, has recovered sufficiently to
recognize members of his family, but
his physicians do not give much hope
that the distinguished Senator from
Virginia will ever again occupy his seat
in the United States Senate.
The National tribune., 1910-03-31

The United States Senate came
mighty near having professional mas
seur. but not quite. There was clause
in the legislative, executive and judicial
organization bill providing for an ap-
preparation of $1,000 annually to be
paid an attendant of the bathing rooms,
who shall be a professional masseur.
1t was stated that this masseur was to
have two assistants. When one of the
younger Senators suggested that there
also be manicurist connected with the
Senate baths it became ridiculous, and
the masseur clause was cut out.
The National tribune., 1910-03-31

And now we have Early again. Con-
fusion always arises when experts get
TO hammering at things, and Early has
been for many months between two sets
of experts, one of which says that he
has the leprosy and the other says he
hasn't. The fact still remains that
wherever Early goes and his identity
becomes known people flee from him as
from pest. 1t is stated that he is now
strong and able to work. but that he
can get no work TO do, and his family
are almost destitute. Some friends of
his have started dime endless chain
to get money for his family, and anoth-
er friend has sent Early to the Far
West to remain on a farm, change his
name and lose his identity.
The National tribune., 1910-03-31

Millionaire Miner Thomas F. Walsh,
of Colorado, has been vainly seeking
health in the vicinity of San Antonio,
in the Lone Star State, but has not
found the relief expected, so he has re-
turned to Washington, hoping that the
mild Spring days will be of benefit. Mr..
Walsh is one of the rich men whom
most people like. He uses his money
with free hand in a helpful way, and
very few cases appeal TO him and go
unrewarded IL upon investigation they
proYe TO be worthy.
The National tribune., 1910-03-31

Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth will
be out of society for some months now,
as she Is in mourning for her grand
father. Mr.. George Cabbott Lee, a vet
eran banker of Boston. Mr.. Lee was
the father of Mrs. Longworth's own
mother, and they were devotedly at
tached to each other. Mrs. Longworth
has been one of the charming hostesses
of the Capital. and society will mourn
that her doors will be closed for the
period of mourning.

The family circle at the White House
was complete for Easter week. Miss
Helen Taft arrived from her college at
Bryn Mawr, Mr. Robert Taft came on
from Yale and Charlie Taft from his
school. The merry circle of young peo-
pie at the White House was completed
by the arrival of Miss Louise Taft,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles p.
Taft, of Cincinnati, and the Misses Har-
riet and Catherine Anderson, Mrs. Taft's
nieces.

The wreck of the battleship Maine is
to be raised from the bottom of the Ha-
vana Harbor if the House of Represen-
tatives has its way. 1t has passed a bill
appropriating 100000 for the raising
of the wreck and the bones of the
bodies supposed to be imprisoned in
the wreck and to have them inferred at
Arlington. The bill also provides that
the two tall masts of the ship shall be
brought to the United States and erect

The club would not be satisfied to

has made an AL record. He has CIV

which President Taft is striving.
Moreover, it is not the ticket Of dark
lahtern processes. It was not hatch,
ed behind closed doors before the FL
ing date had passed. It Is made up
from the best and strongest material,
as we believe, that was at hand, after
the time in which filings could be
made, had gone BY. Until then the
field was open for all who desired to
enter the race.
This, as the heading to the ticket
says conforms to the principles and
intent OF the primary law" 1t is the
ticket, from the. standpoint of princi-
pie and from true conception of the
law, that any Republican may con
scientiously advocate and vote. From
the standpoint or personality, 1t is
equally unassailable. Every man on
it is a representative citizen, as near
" without blemish as it is possible,
in these human times, for any con-
siderable aggregation of mortal men
to be. In theory, and according to
his own notions, Of course the ere

doubt, will generally be conceed that
theory is weak reed for a practical
public to lean upon.
Now it will have been noticed that
the champions of the ticket that was
framed up at Valley City weeks and
weeks ago. long before the expiration
OF the fling date, are referring to the
persons on that ticket as candidates."
BY whom were they made candidates?
Certainly not BY the voters. through
delegates or otherwise. A candidate
IL one who has been selected In
lawful and an orderly way to repre-
sent his party in a campaign between
two or more parties. Until he has
been so selected he is q mere aspir-
ant for place on his party's ticket.
The date of making the selection OF
candidates as provided by law, Is
June 10th. The men selected at that
time will be the candidates to con-
tend with the opposing party at the
November election.
However, these important distinct
ions have never disturbed the old re

would not have had the unprecedent-

Rocky Ford enterprise., 1910-01-14

of our public library investment.
While perhaps there is nothing that
warrants our public school board in
appending the kindergarten feature to
our public school system as yet, we
might give encouragement to privats
enterprise and enthusiasm along that
line BY making the lecture room
available to our Mrs. Mitchell for the
moi ming hours in which kindergar-
ten is kept open. A very little more
fuel and little more janitor work is
all it would cost, and her little class
of garten kinder would have an ideal
place for their school.
l have mentioned the Woman's
Club, or rather the possible sub-sec-
tions of it. We have other clubs OF
women in town organized with. 4
view to intellectual culture studies
and there 3 10 good reason why
these Shouts not util::'" the Public Ii
trary. Tnerc Is also the w c. T. U.
that advance courier Of all the wom-
ans club organizations that have in
CT ased and multiple in these mod
ern days almost to the point of satie-
ty that great O: g:n1l organization
through which the modern recogni-
ton Of womankind as factor in our
social fabric first come about. The
w. c. T. U. should be encouraged TO
meet in the library, where they would
have convenient access to considera..
BILE literature already accumulated
bearing upon the multifarious depart
ments of activity that organization
represents.
And there are others. Every move
ment for the intellectual uplift that
states its theory and its thought in
parliamentary language should have
common and equal opportunity to
make use of that peoples own in.
stitution. public library maintained
by popular taxation.
Now I do not expect that we shall
have all these culture classes and ac-
tivities in active operation at once.
We shall hardly have people falling
over one another to put them in op-
Grafton or to take part in them. These
are suggestions as to how we might
get the most for our money out OF
our Public Library.
