The woman who had assumed the
position of dresser and general at
tendant upon Mile. cara. the cleo
frical dancer and drawing card at the
Varieties. was finding mademoiselle
unexpectedly difficult The unexpect-
edness of 1t was what made the wo-
man wonder. She had been q green
room employee long enough to expect
tantrums.
But Mile. cara was not, or, at least,
had not been, at all like any other star.
How was the attendant to know
that in the middle of her performance
the dancers eyes had suddenly en-
countered another pair of eyes that
had almost deprived her 1.-THE limbs
of the capacity TO continue moving?
The eyes were set in Il dark, clean
cut face, which she had up to that
moment thought of as in Brazil They
burned with first amazement then in
dignant resentment, finally disgust Of

Surely the people of this city who
have so much more at stake will

A Very Good Reason-Sompayrac
Not the Issue

Guardian-Journal: Mr.. Paul Som
payrac seems to be the manager for
Mr.. j. b. Aswell in this campaign.
But he is worst disturbed now be-
cause he can't get Judge Hall to
meet him III debate. We don't I'M
derstand why Mr.. Sompayrac should
think Judge Hall would turn aside
to debate with him. There is no pub
lie issue between him and Judge
Hall. Mr.. Sompayrac seems to be
fond Of speaking, but his speeches
made in his own behalf when he
was candidate few years ago, did
not prevail much with the voters. It
may be that he is more successful
when speaking for others than for
himself.

Exclamation Wanted.

The Guardian Journal queries and
awaits the explanation desired:
There is one fact connected with the
Bernstein letter that needs some ex-
PLANTATION. How is it that DR.. Aswell
claims to be leading a fight that is
destined to smash the administra-
ton machine. and is selected as the
proper candidate to give the famous
letters to the public?
Mr.. Bernstein as confessed is very
close to the Governor in a social and
political way, and is now supporting
Mr.. Michel for Governor, the public
would like to know why these let
tiers were not confided to Mr.. Michel
and given to him to publish? The
letters were given out to injure Hall
aud if Mr.. Bernstein really thought
there was any force III them, it
seems that he would have gone first
TO Michel. How is it that an extreme
partisan like Mr.. Bernstein is found
treating in a confidential way with
DR.. Aswell whom he is ostensibly
opposing?

THE SHORT AND ugly WORD.

The introduction into The cam
paign by Congressman Pujo of Mr..
Roosevelt's short and ugly word is
much to be regretted. We had hoped
that the amenities of the campaign
would protect us from an epithet so
calculated to create bitterness and
violence and that whenever provo
cation arose for it's use gentler
substitute would be found. In
this instance the propagation was
entirely lacking, as Mr.. Pujo has
himself acknowledged. But
even if the Governor had made and
had not withdrawn the charge to
which Mr.. pujo took exception, Mr..
pujos manner of characterization
of the misstatement would still have
been a subject for depreciation. Mr..
Pujo has shown too clearly his pow
er of cogent expression for recourse
to epithets to make his meaning
plain. 1t is to be noted, however,
that since he has made the amende
honorable no one will repeat the Of
Tense. 1t is manifestly impossible to
keel the campaign free from per-
sonalities. IN. o. States
1t is conceded that 'the short and
ugly word should always be avoid
ed, and it is regrettable that it
should ever become expressible, es-
pecially during a political campaign
between contestants for Office who
are gentlemen, but there should be
offered no provocation which may
warrant such epithets.
1t is unfortunate that some can
didates for Office indulge too freely
in personalities instead of argument,
and in their misstatements or exag-
geration Of facts provoke the retort
which is direct and beyond the pos
sibility of miseonstruction.
If any candidates for any office, be
it for governor or senator or some
minor place, can not maintain him.
self with dignity in free and UNI
trammeled discussion of issues, and
to secure notoriety he must resort
to fabrications or billingsgate or in
character assassination, then such
candidate should be ignored by ev-
cry self-respecting citizen of the
State.
AS there are paramount issues,
state and national, in which the peo-
pie are directly concerned, these
should be discussed intelligently,
and if substituted fer misstatements,
exaggerations and billingsgate, there
will be no i'll feeling or resentment
or severed friendships.
The official, political or public re-
cord of each candidate may be crit
lcised within legitimate bounds, but
whoever may become the trans
gressor Of the truth, or who may
strive to falsify the record, or to be-
little his opponent with contumely,
should be prepared to meet the con-
sequences of such temerity. 1t may
be the short and ugly word or it
may be even more drastic.
Free speech should not be con-
founded nor construed with the
license of the BLACKBOARD.
It's to be hoped that the incident
in question, now that it has been
settled agreeably TO all concerned,
will be as warning to others in
their moderation of offensive speech
and at their detraction of character
for political effect.

Doing Big Things!

4 LARGE store like this. located in the very heart and
~. centre of New York's greatest shopping district,
must. in the course of n period covering nearly forty
years. accomplish many big things.
We have been doing big things for ycars-kccp right on
doing them every day, but in a careful, thoughtful, pains
taking way; doing them without bombast. We hope to
continue doing Big Things for years to come.
Sixth Avenue needs a store like the Simpson
Crawford Company Store. Needs a store that in
sists upon lofty ideals In modern bookkeeping.
We may he n triitc old fashioned in this respect. We
believe it TO be good policy TO sell reliable goods at the lowest
prices that scasouablc merchandise OF quality can I've sold.
As to Milinery-There must be something in the
survival of the fttcst that continues to bring us the big
gest millinery business in New York. We achieved this
leadership more than twenty-five years ago, and it's just as
dominant to-day.
The Simpson Crawford Linen Business is another
conspicuous part of this store. We are selling linens to
more people than evcr-sclling real linens upon their
merits. and Mt prices that make you glad to buy here.
The selling of Silks and Dress Goods is inseparably
associated with the Simpson Crawford Store, for the same
reason tina. links MS to millinery.
In the matter of importing and selling Robes.
this store is rs supreme as ever. There never can be any
variation in this.
We believe that we sell more Oriental Rugs than
any other Department Store in New York, with possibly
one exception.
Our Piano business grows splendidly. We sold
thousands of pianos last year. Our terms are exceptionally
tempting.
In these and other departments throughout this
large and magnificent building we are constantly doing big
things, AND OUR FRIENDS TELL US WE ARE
DOING THEM WELL AND FAIRLY.

NAMES ELECTION ON PRO-
HIBITIoN.

Maine will vote tomorrow on con.
stitutional amendment to repeal the
States constitutional prohibition pro-
vision which has been in effect sixty
years.
The result is in doubt, both sides, at
the end of a remarkable campaign,
claiming that they will win, and neither
putting the figures very high. The
cities are conceded to be opposed to
prohibition, the rural districts prob
ably in favor of it; and the weather
may determine the result. Should rain
cut down the rural poll, prohibition
might lose by quite majority.
Whatever the outcome, the contest
may be expected to continue. Neither
side will accept defeat, and the effect
on the national lineup in 1912 is q
matter of large concern. The Repub-
lican press of the State is, generally
supporting the prohibition regime, and
should it be defeated this year, the
Democrats believe, considerable i'm
petus would be given to their national
party in the Presidential struggle.
Names overwhelming Democratic
victory last year was one of the most
striking early evidences of the national
shift toward the minority party. While
the liquor issue had much to do with
that result, yet the Republican defeat
in Massachusetts,, the insurgent victory
in New Hampshire, and the Democratic
successes elsewhere, made it plain that
New England is in a frame of mind
which BODIES no good to the Republican
party. Vermont is reported by recent
students of its conditions to be just
as animate with insurgency as New
Hampshire, though thus. far lacking
effective leadership and organization.
A defeat for prohibition tomorrow
would be accepted as a good omen for
Democracy in New England. 1t would
encourage the minority party not only
in Maine, but in all the other States of
the tight little northeastern section. .
