Paris, July 1s.-The "butters-in" is
the latest name employed by the AM
ericans in Paris and in London in
describing those fellow men and wom-
en- compatriots in the French and Eng
lish capitals. who are otherwise
known as social climbers" and who
are breaking their necks" as the pop
ular expression goes, to gain a foot
hold in and to be recognized by high
society. The "butters-in' are often
very nice people. cutie as honest and
respectable as those who possess no
high falutin' social aspirations, but
having been immensely successful in
become obsessed to be taken up" by
the aristrocracy of England and
France. It's all very ridiculous and
tiresome to more soberminded and
less ambitious Americans. who have
no use for that sort of thing
The latest "butter-in" in London is
Mrs. Miller Graham. of Santa Barbara,
Cal. who has made a social success
in the English metropolis. Mrs. Gra-
hams husband is very wealthy and
not at all disinclined to see his estim-
able wife "butt-in" on the aristocracy
ito beat the band" so she arranged
months ago to go to London. accom-
panied by Mr.. Graham, where she en-

most fashionable parts of the city.

for while it had been arranged that
Mrs. Graham should be presented at
court and understood that the late
King Edward. who was always grac.
iously inclined to enormously rich Am
orleans, would give his approval to
her being received in high society
his untimely death changed these
plans. The Graham pull" was strong
however,-so powerful that the Ora
hams succeeded in being given place
in the Royal box of King George
which was also occupied by well
known members of the British aristo
cracy. So you see, that to be sue

been only too happy back him up with the guns of

just one year after Tamasese had been crowned by
the German commodore to the tune of Learys band.

A JOKE ON 4. R.

The Osborne Farmer calls atten.
ton to mild Joke on T. R. and the
governor: The joke seems to be on
Theodore and Walter Roscoe. A time
back there was a big celebration al
Osawatomie. The celebration primar-
lily was inspired by the desire to dedi-
cate the field of Osawatomie as a
park. There was hurrah about the
dedication business when the cele-
bration was planned. Colonel Roose-
welt was invited and the governor and
all of the progressive lights went
down to meet him when he came. The
whole of two days was devoted to
speech making and the enunciation
of principles. The tariff, conserva-
ton, railroad rates, labor, race sui
eide, the science of war, the dove Of
peace, English song birds, the hook
worm, patriotism and all of the other
and vital issues were free
ly and frankly discussed. But, I'M
fortunately, the battlefield was not
dedicated as a park. There was lot
of talk, but no dedication business.
The colonel and the governor clean
forgot why they were there. The
result is that the G. A. R. will have
to take up the matter and do it all
over again. Mr.. Roosevelt will not
be invited to participate. Men who
can be trusted to do the work will
be assigned to the task.

The system Of protective tariff which
the people had come to believe was
essential to the prosperity Of the
country was assaiIed by those pro.
Tossing to be Republicans, and Re
publican measures and officials were
held responsible for the high, cost
Of living. Maine has gone Demo

the same way before the Republicans
are able to roll up the majoritles Of
former times. The World will admit
that there may have been some de-
gree Of error in the party, but 1t be-
lieyes that the Republican party has
been nearer right during the past
fifty years than any other party and
that its principles are sound. 1t
also believes that the party has been
betrayed by those whom it had hon

party in a secondary position until
the people awake to their folly. In
taking this stand the World does not
deem 1t necessary to defend such
