TURKISH WOMEN.
They Arc Curiously Fastidious In
Some of Their Ways.

some OF ineir WhJss
The habits of the Turkish women OF
Constantinople are wonderfully fastidi-
GUS. For instance, when they wash
their hands at a tap from which water
runs into d marble basin the fair ones
will let the water run until a servant
shuts 1t OF, inasmuch as to do this
themselves would render them "un-
clean" They cannot open or shut
door. as the handle would be unclean.
One of these fastidious women was
not long ago talking to a small niece
who had just received present OF a
doll from Paris. BY and by the child
laid the doll in the lady's lap. She
was horrified and ordered the child to
take it away. AS the little girl would
not move 1t and no servant was near
and the lady would be dehled by touch
ing doll that had been brought from
abroad, the only resource left her was
to jump up and let the doll fall II
broke In pieces.
Another Turkish woman would not
open letter coming by post, but re
quired u servant to break the seal and
hold the missive near her that 1t might
be read; also should her handkerchief
fall to the ground 1t was Immediately
destroyed or given away. so that she
might not again use it--Exchange.

SOME REASONS WHY.

Now days an office holder must
have a hide like rhinoceros, a
stomach like an ostrich and a con-
science like trust magnate, or his
life will be miserable. If he is
good, his goodness will be evilly
spoken of and there are a few of
that kind; but they are not happy"
Before we had a primary election
law, it was very seldom that we
heard of grating by public
officials. Now, when only 40 per
cent of the legitimate vote of the
state is cast at the primaries, po-
litical "nubbins" have come to the
front and with the aid of bosses and
the expenditures of large sums of
money, primary nominations are Sc
cured and elections bought. 1t has
got to such a point that self-re-

THOUGHTS BY TIE WAY

1t is indeed amusing to read of
the extreme insurgents in congress
who opposed every effort of Presi-
dent Taft to carry out the pledges
of his party by the enactment of
laws promised. now claiming credit
for what was accomplished in be-
half of the people. For cheek,
brass and gall, the extreme
Insurgents are certainly the limit,
for had they had their way, no
remedial legislation would have
been enacted.
Congress having increased the
tax on manufactured tobacco, the
tobacco trust forthwith reduces the
size OF its packages, thereby robb-
ing the consumer and making him
pay the tax. Whose business is it
to get after the wicked tobacco
trust and make it be honest in it's
dealing with the public?
Julius Rowland of Chippewa
Falls, who is a candidate for the
republican nomination for state
treasurer at the primary election,
was here yesterday meeting friends
and making more friends. Mr..
Rowland is a careful, painstaking
reliable business man and upright
and honorable in all the relations
of life, a MN TO be honored for his
many virtues as a citizen. Four
years ago he was a candidate at
the primaries and lost the nomina-
ton by only a narrow margin. The
people will make no mistake in
giving him the nomination and
electing him to the Office, for he is
worthy Of their confidence and
support.
Watertown leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1909-1911, 1910-08-05

specting man who are sensitive
will not/s seek either a nomination
nor an election, for they will not
buy a nomination nor resort to
questionable means to obtain it.
Therefore, the man who secures
office must have thick hide, for
he will be criticised, a stomach
that will stand a campaign and a
conscience that will give him no
uneasiness. In spite of the pre-
vailing conditions however, there
was honest officials, but they are
like hens teeth, mighty scarce.
When a man spends a fortune to Sc
cure a political office, it is but
natural that he should REIMBURSE
himself, although the same man out
of office would be honest and
respectable. Repeal or modify the
primary election law and get back
to honest methods, those which OBJ
tanned before we had REFORM and
a poor man stood some show for
political recognition.

IS, 1910. If Mr.. Bigelow was a
poor man, who from necessity
committed crime, no effort would
be made to secure his parole. Bige-
low is a good fellow and being rich
it was not necessary for him to
commit a crime. But the desire to
add to his wealth no doubt led him
into ways that were dark and tricks
that were vain. AS man soweth
so shall he reap; sows to the
wind and reaps the whirlwind.
Better be poor and good than rich
and criminal.

FOR COMMISSIONER OF
INSURANCE.

1t is good policy to elect the best
man to office, men who will give
their undivided attention, to the
discharge of the duties of their
office, such a man is M. ]. Cleary
of Blanchardville who is candi-
date for the republican nomonation
as Commission of Insurance at the
September primaries. He is broad
gagged, able and if nominated and
elected will 60 into office one of the
best equipped officials who ever
held the office. During the past
four years as a member Of the
Wisconsin legislature he was an
active and industrious member of
the Committee on Insurance and
familiar with every phase of life
and fire insurance the same having
come under his investigation and
study as member Of the committee
and as a practical insurance man,
hence he knows the practical as
we'll as the theoretical side of the
subject.

INSURGENCY

There are various kinds Of in
surgents within the republican
party. There is one kind who be-
lieves that Cannonism is most de-
cidedly wrong and that the Payne
Aldrich tariff law was not what the
people expected and had right to
expect, but they remain in the party
to accomplish the reforms neces-
sary for the welfare of the party.
The writer is one of that class, for
he believes that the republican
party is the only party which can
and will secure the needed reforms.
Then there are insurgents who
think it their special duty to de-
stroy the party by opposing every
thing the party tries to do for the
betterment of the people and firt
and couquet with the opposition.
Taft, Roosevelt, Cummins, Dolli-
yer, Bristow and that class are in
surgents, but true to party and not
self-seeking to the extent of some
who would destroy the party for
personal political gain. The fol-
lowing from the New York Even
ing Post, a republican paper COW
ers the ground admirably:
If the old gentleman (Cannon)
were less deeply stirred by his feel
ings on the subject. he might per-
haps take a moment to consider
what the prospects of the party
would be today if the republican
majority at the recent session of
congress had acted upon the prin-
ciple that he represents. Imagine
the regular organization in both
houses having put through cut
and-dried programme prepared by
Cannon in the house and Aldrich
In the senate, and leaving to the
Democrats alone all the fighting
protesting; what would be the
chances of the party in the coming
elections? The only thing that
stands between it and a showing
under such as it has not dreamed
of since 1890 is that Insurgency
which has made it possible for
thousands Of voters to remain in
the party who would otherwise have
abandoned it in disgust. A COM
pact and virile" minority is all
very we'll to talk awhile you are
still in the majority, but it is
mighty dispiriting when it has be-
come an accomplished fact
