nAILEY. Of TEXAS.

There has been n great deal Of com
ment in the newspapers on the an
nounccment of Senator Bailey. Of
for reelection, and many ugly things
nave been said about him and his
course in politics: his connection with
the Standard Oil interests in Texas,
his lack of sympathy with the SOCIAL :
ed progressive" sentiment OF his
to hold any longer position among the
leaders of the Democracy. The ques-
ton of his connection with the Stan
dard Oil concern was fully debated,
and with great deal OF bitterness in
Texas where Mr.. Bailey is said to have
operated and the people of that State,
who were chiefly interested in the
matter, sent him back TO the Senate.
In the opinion of many Judges
throughout the country this vote of
confidence did not absolve him from
his sin, and we are inclined to share
in the general condemnation visited
upon him for his professional" SER
vices in the Waters Pierce matter;
but with this exception we do not
recollect that he has been guilty or
any discreditable act.
Cantankerous. self opinionated out
of sympathy frequently with the views
of his party associates and holding
tcnaciously to his own conceptions of
his duty as Senator, and willing to
sacrifice himself rather than to yield
to the demands of the majority, he
should not be condemned for his in
dependence of private Judgment and
his boldness in setting himself against
the drift of these progressive" times
On the contrary, he is to be commend
ed for holding the doctrines of the
than the eXpediencics of statutory en-
actments. There is no question of his
ability, OF his thorough knowledge OF
the law, of his clear view of what the
Constitution requires, and what II
forbids, of his force as a debater and
of his courage in action.
Mr.. Cleveland regarded him as the
ablest of the younger statesmen of
his day. and once spoke of him as
made of sound Presidential timber: but
his day Is over, and finding himself
a leader without followers. he has
done the right thing in determinins
to step down and out. That is all he
could do. and. having done that, he is
entitled to some sort OF considera ton
for the good things he has accomplish
ed in brilliant public career, and at
least not to be made the text of homi-
lies upon The Evident Merits of Par

CLEANED much interesting information

As a result mainly. OF this belief, At

In Cleveland, Ohio, where the popula-
ton is more than three times as much

great AS the News says, when major

BAD COOKING AND DIVORCE.

IL American wives would learn how
to cook. there would be few Of them
left to complain that their husbands
go out at nights, is the opinion OF DR..
Frederick /. Abbott, a prominent Back
as an authority on dietetics. Divorces
can be prevented by good cooking. he
thinks. adding:
Men, ii properly nourished, would
not frequent hotels and clubs, where
they acquire an appetite for cocktails.
although they may have gone there
get well-cOoked food they could not
get at home"
DIR. Abbott deplores the ignorance
OF themodern young girl on this most
vital subject, and SAYS that the woman
who cannot cook is greatly handl-
capped in her race for the final goal
married happiness
The woman of the present, he thinks.
Is unwilling, as a rule, to pass hours
in her Kitchen. she more frequently
spends her afternoons "gadding about,
together a meal comprised of canned
goods and cold left overs" This Same
woman may wonder why her husbands
patience is vanishing. why he swears
when anything goes wrong, and why.
generally, he is changing in character.
Or. Abbott points out that "a mans
success in his business depends greatly
on the nutrition he receives. 1t Is OBJ
viously true that the average business
man who has worked his way up has
had at home wife who is a good
cook There is much meat in that
argument.
