THAT Is the only way to make most
women stick to directions" said the
teacher. I'm every recipe there IL
one point that is particularly Inn

or failure depends. Most women when
they get In a hurry are likely to slap

The festival of St. Thomas Of Can
terbury. from being perhaps the most
popular Of saints days In England,
has now fallen into complete desue-
tude, ana Its revival is not advocated
by even the most fervent Of Anglo
Catholics. 1t was Henry VIII. who
destroyed the Beckett tradition. The
king was Gas always In need Of
money, and the shrine Of st. Thomas
in Canterbury Cathedral seemed a
suitable object for legalized loot. So
in 1888 an order was Issued that the
bones Of the saint should be burned
and the offerings made at his shrine
the trophies OF three centuries and
a half-forfeited to the crown. Beckett
was to be decanonized. his Images to
be, destroyed and his name erased
from the service books. The work
was faithfully performed, THE name
of Geta," writes Dean STANLEY, "has
nat been more carefully erased by his
Hval brother on every monument Of
the Roman Empire"

Mcclellan Supports Dix.

Candidate Dix yesterday received a let
ter from George B. Mcclellan. former
mayor Of New York, indorsing Dix's NOM
ination for governor. 1t is expected Mr.
Mcclellan will make at least one speech
this week favoring Dix's election.
In Wall street yesterday the betting
odds went as high as to on Dix. and
the prediction is made that they will GO
to 8 to before the week ends. The bulb
of the betting. though, was done at te
/, and a number of bets at to 2. and
even as low as to I, were recorded. A
good deal of the Stimson money in sight
was said to have come from Chicago.
Candidate Stimson spent yesterday cam
paigning in the Mohawk valley, meeting
with cordial receptions, despite bad
weather. At Utica last night he dis.
cussed the high cost of living and some
one in the crowd asked him why wages
did not advance in harmony with com
modities.
Labor cannot increase IN price," he
said, without organization, and that il
why I stand for wide organization OF
labor, so that it can get its share of the
profits that go with the countrys pros

DRAPER EXPECTS TO WIN,
BUT ASKS FOR BIG VOTE
Senator Lodge Voted Against Wool
Amendment to Save Tariff
Bill, He Says.

Gov. Draper of Massachusetts yester-
day issued a statement declaring the
outlook in that state was for a repub-
lican victory next Tuesday. and urging
that voters go TO the polls.
THE democrats campaign up to the
present time he says. has consisted
OF headlines. claims. brag and buster.
The votes of the citizens Of Massachu-
sets will settle the election on No
vember 8, and from every section of
the state / confidentially expect to be
elected by very substantial plurality.
Il urge every citizen to be sure and
vote on election day and do all he hon
orably can to get out vote"
Speaking last night at a meeting in
Gloucester, Senator Lodge replied to
Representative Eugene n. Foss, demo-
cratic candidate for governor, as to
why Lodge voted against amending the
wool schedule in the Payne-Aldrich
tariff.
"Mr. Foss asked me last night a
series of questions about the wooden
schedule" said Senator Lodge, land one
answer will cover all the questions My
great majority Of the republicans in
the Senate voted against the amend
ment to the wooden schedule, because
II that schedule had been opened to
amendment the bill would have been
defeated. The senators from the WOOL
growing states would have Joined with
the democrats and defeated the bill.
II thought. with many other things,
that the wooden schedule should be
modified and improved, but when it
bill my colleague and l and most Of
the republicans in the Senate were not
willing to lose the bill for the sake Of
trying to amend one schedule"

TAFT USES STRETCHER.
Senator Gore Says That's Way
Roosevelt Policies Are Carried Out.

Millions of people believe that Presi-
dent Taft is as busy as a bee carrying
Roosevelt's policies out-on stretcher, -
said Senator Thomas P. Gore of Okla
homa in an address at a democratic
meeting last night in Kensas City, Mo.
He freely predicted victory for the demo-
cratic party in the coming elections.
1.-THE east looks to the west for gold
and grain.' he said. THE west looks to
the east for its sunrises, its Presidents
and it's panics. The highest proof of
wisdom Of the three wise men OF the
Bible is that they came out of the east.
Now we are giving them something
to think about. The democracy Of the
west has pervaded the east to such an
extent that even Maine, with it's tradi-
tons of republicanisnl, has seen the
light
1.-The republicans have come to worship
before shrines Of strange and unknown

Plea for Vote of Confidence.

Reviewing President Taft's administra-
ton, it would seem that an Ohio resident
might confidently look to his own state
to sustain and strengthen his adm. istra-
ton. The country might proper, as
sumo that minor differences, person.. or
local, will be put aside; that all citizens
of Ohio who sincerely desire that Presi-
dent Tafts administration shall continue
and complete the work in which 1t rs en-
gaged-a work which involves the fulfill
ment of every pledge made, of keeping
faith with the people-will sink their per-
sonal or local differences and stand to-
gether upholding the President. There
are only two parties in the contest The
vote which is to be given next Tuesday by
the Presidents fellOw-OhioaMs should be
a vote of confidence"
''As the twig is bent in 1910 the tree
will be inclined in 1872" said Secretary
McVeagh in his speech at Toledo. 1.-The
voters of Ohio should do their utmost to
keep in power the most powerful political
organization of progress today i'm any
nation of the world. and they should
indorse the administration OF William II.
Taft. already laden with practical and
permanent triumphs, and not in any de-
gree near the end of his broad and wise
plans and purposes of public usefulness.
I'VE cannot disguise the fact the
Secretary continued, that your election
will be given out to the country as an in
dorsement or failure to indorse your
Ohio President. Now, do not misunder-
stand me. Even If his own state fails to
go republican. the President will con-
tinue to grow in the confidence of the
nation. and will be the nominee of his
party in 1912. But it will be extremely
unfair to him and very ungracious on the
part of the republican party of Ohio II
the election in this state does not result
in a republican victory"
While expressing full confidence in the
power of the republican party to win Ia
1912, even II 1t should meet reverses this
year. saying that high vitality such as
exists In the republican party of today
cannot be destroyed by one or more than
one defeat that is meaningless and sense
less" nevertheless he urged his hearers
to do their best for party victory, ito think
Of the people and their interests. and not
of ourselves and our political indigestion
and bad tempers.'

Secretary OF State Knox, speaking al
Columbus, and Secretary Of the Treasury
MacNeagh, speaking at Toledo, yesterday
told Ohio voters that the campaign in
the Buckeye state was not local, but ma
tional; that the issue was whether Presi-
dent Taft's own state would indorse OF
repudiate his administration.
However much the democratic party
may desire victory in other states," said
Mr.. Knox, 1T is as nothing compared
with its frantic hope of defeating the re-
publican ticket in Ohio, and thus arm
itself for 1912 with the cry that Ohio
has condemned the Taft administration
has repudiated her own son. However
the case may be elsewhere. in Ohio the
line of cleavage is the President. his
policies and his success and intelligent
and honest purpose in working them out
1.-The issue is the party's life, and II
cannot die unless it is destroyed by its
own members; and 1T should not be de-
stroyed now that we stand on the thresh-
old of better things. The great reform
er who drove out the money changers
did not find it necessary to pull down
the temple"
NJ. Knox claimed for the Payne-Aldrich
tariff act that it was 1.-The broadest meas
ure Of practical reciprocity ever enact
ed, and declared that the program VI
legislation enacted constituted record
of progress never before equaled.
Praise for Taft.
when Mr.. Taft assumed the duties of
his great Office" Mr. Knox continued
"he took upon himself the tremendous
responsibilities incident to the execution
and advancement of the progressive poll
cies of the republican party, which had
made such remarkable progress during
the incumbency and under the leadership
Of his immediate predecessor, Mr.. Roose-
Welt. Mr.. Taft came into power as the
leader of the party that had to its credit
the great body of constructive remedial
law. Important and effective as 1t was,
it vet failed to meet public requirements,
and, therefore, with quiet and unrenit-
ting diligence, he set himself to the task
OF Strengthening, enlarging and improv-
ing his Inheritance"
President Taft is your fellow-citizen,'
said the Secretary in concluding. He
was chosen, however. 1 am bound to say,
not because he was an Ohio man, but be-
cause he was the man who best repre-
scented the ideals of the whole nation. He
has given the country an administration
that responds to the sentiment which
caused his nomination and election. His
lofty conception of the responsibilities
never has been lowered. His loyalty to
the pledges under which he took the
Office has been demonstrated.
