Mi. r.,.,. Mistake.

" ! . +. =. :
1t Is very curious that the president
should have made the mistake Of at.
taching himself to the regulars. or
stand-patters. or whatever they mar
be called. In his Akron speech OF
about i've years ago he showed that
all his Instincts were for political in.
dependence. His campaign speeches
committed him to substantial tariff re-
duction-except on. crockery, which IL
made in Ohio.
He has said that he found Aldrich
and Cannon placed In power by the
Republican party. and he simply recog.
nized the existing situation. But Al
drich was not established In power
by the party. Rhode Island put him
in the senate, and his personal infiu.
ence did the rest. The Republican
party In national sense did not nut
Cannon in the chair; 1t was only the
Republican members OF the house.
The president understood perfectly.
that both Aldrich and Cannon were
strongly opposed to that tariff revision
which he supported and which the
party platform promised. 4,
He ought to have attached his ad-
ministration to party leaders who
were IN accord with himself and the
platform.

THE DANCER.

4 WON'T discuss Mr.. Gilpin. but here
are a few little problems q society

may ponder over.
l am not poor; my father was mil.
lionaire rancher in Australia. I toured
the world when was young and re-
ceived quite as good an education az
any society woman.
married Mr.. McCaffrey,- He was a
poor miner. There was no thought In
my mind Of family in return for my
money or anything except my love for
Mr. McCaffrey. Our marriage was un.
fortunate and we were divorced.
Then ! went on the stage because I
felt I had something beautiful In my
dancing to show the world: because
wanted to do something: because an,
an artist and because by dancing is
artistry.
II my object in life made me pose
before hundreds does not the society
leader strip herself Of exclusiveness
when she poses in her new gowns be-
fore other hundreds at the opera, on
the Newport beach, at the Casino, on
Fifth avenue. She parades herself,
but she is like q peacock, showing only
Its flne feathers. We dancers parade
ourselves. but we are not parading
hne feathers: we are showing our art.
II woman knows that her husband
does not care for the life Of a society
man. she should make up her mind to
do one Of two things: Let society go
or let her husband 60. She has her
choice, and II. choosing. she loses one
or the other. she should not complain.
But II a woman loves her husband and
has his interests at heart. which would
she choose, do you think? IS
There are men who are children at
hesrt. artists despite their birth, who
turn to the sympathy and companion
ship OF artists. naturally. II . woman
marTaes man like this, let her make
up her mind to meet that sympathy
and give the man what he needs. II
she cannot make up her mind to ido
this. then let her not complain II she
loses her husband.
Society 10 conventional! Society
women are the most conventional Of
beings! The very unconventionalities
which some assume d nothing moro
than the exhibition OF their manacles
Of convention!
Did the society woman ever do q
conventional thing-which Il the ma
tural thing -and meet and fight other
women In fair field for the husband
that II In danger Of being lost2 No;
she goes to the conventional remedy
the divorce court. She takes the con.
ventional view Of marriage-that It IL
q bond which when once tied needs no
further inspection Of. the knot. When
she finds the knot slipping or broken,
her little world ID overturned. She
has no resource for the divorce court
Is not q resource, no more 30 than the
