Should Roosevelt Be
Made President Once
More?

YLEo.

BYL LEO.
II looks as if the insurgents
are determined to force the NOM
ination of Roosevelt for a third
term. In fact, they have already
asked him to assume the leader
ship of his party during the cam
psign of 1912. and leadership
would mean the presidential nom
ination. Is it the proper thing
to attempt? Will it be to his own
interest, the interest of the Re
publican party, for the good OF
the country at large to elect Theo-
dore Roosevelt to the presidency
next year?
The negative is our answer.
We see no good to come OF It,
g4but much evil.
It would be an injury to Roos-
evelt himself. This incumbency
once more would be rather anti
climax. For seven years and a
half he served as chief magls-
trate, and upon the whole con-
ducted himself in Office credita-
bIv. Probably no other man could
have done better in the circum-
stances. The solution of the Pan
anna Canal business, the media
tion between Russia and Japan
are the two greatest feats OF his
administration, and in both in
stances he won immortal renoWn.
If we make him president a.
-gain opportunities of that sort
would not come and he would
have nothing to do in comparison
to what he did do. He would
never again win the same popu-
larity, but, in all probability ne
would be sure to do things to
dim the glory Of his former ad-
ministration.
1t would be ruinous to the re-
publican party. The third term
odium would cling to the party
for ages. No man as yet mas
been made president for a thlrc
term. The unwritten law is a
gainst it. The friends Of Gen
Grant tried hard to nominate tn
quiet hero the third time, bu
they failed. We think the par
ticular boosters Of Roosevelt Wi
meet the same fate, and TN
: would be in the party's true II
terest. We do not want to a.
sumo the odium of foisting upo
the country a third termer, e.
pecially when a better man IS
vailable.
His election would be detl
mental to the country at larg

Unreported Senate Incident

out all Of the latent irritation that
was in Senator Davis. At any rate, he
stopped speaking and glared fercely
at poor Butler, who evidently did not
know why Davis had become thus
angry. In fact, it looked for mo-
ment as though Davis, who had lost
control of himself almost completely,
was about to go to Butler and attempt
to eject him from that seat.
Instantly the tension in the senate
was intense. Still, Butler did not real
ize that he was the cause of the
trouble; but he returned the fierce
glance of Garrett Davis as though
saying: If you can look ugly, so
can l.
Just as Senator Davis seemed
about to advance upon Butler, one of
the senators upon the Republican
side, Henry Wilson of Massachusetts,
stepped hastily to Butler and whis
pered to him. Then holding Butler gent
ly by the sleeve of his coat, Mr.. Will
son drew him from the Democratic
seat and escorted him to the Repub-
lican side of the chamber. AS Butler
was crossing the center of the aisle,
ne turned and looked at Davis, who
was almost beside himself with anger.
When Butler was seated in the chair
of one of the Republican senators, he
calmly turned around and looked
again at Senator Davis
Davis was completely mastered by
his irritation. Still gfaring at Ben
Butler, he abruptly terminated his
speech and took his seat. Nor did he
seem to be himself again until But

Saved Fame By Not Speaking

very slender, tall and thin featured,
but his voice was clear and ringing,
his gestures graceful, and he was in
great demand by Republicans all over
the United States when campaigning
was in progress. His record as a sol
der and his prominence as a political
speaker caused him to be unanimous
ly nominated for governor of New
Hampshire and he was elected by a
great plurality in the late sixties.
In 1875 there was to be a great
meeting of the Grand army of the Re
public at Boston. The expectation was
that General Grant would attend. and
Phil Sheridan had promised to be
there without fail and to march on
foot at the head Of his soldiers. The
committee of arrangements asked Gov
ernor Hartman to deliver the chief
address of this occasion. He held
that to be about the most distia-
guished honor that had come to him
He said to the committee:
81 appreciate the compliment you
have given me, and l will communi-
cate with you by letter in the course
of a few days"
But when the committee had re-
ceived the letter and read it they
found that Governor Hartman had
declined. They were amazed and dis
appointed. But he persisted in hold
ing to 1t.
The great gathering of the Grand
Army took place. Governor Hartman
was present, but did not speak Said
a friend to him some time later:
Governor, you have national rep
utation as an orator. The Grand Army
has a high admiration for you You
had noble opportunity to speak be-
fore it. Why did you decline it?"
For a very simple reason" replied
Governor Hartman. 81 have learned
by my reading and by my experience
that it takes about twenty years to
make a reputation, and that the next
twenty years are occupied in maintain
ing it. An orator has peculiar repu-
tation He is liable to lose it by rea-
son Of the failure of a single speech
l could not afford to take that risk

impaired the reputation l already have
gained as an orator"

For the Goldfish.

For those who have goldfish: Allow
sun to shine on them for short time
each day except real hot days. If fish
become moldy or cloudy appearing,
put into salt water-one teaspoon of
salt to quart of water, later changing
to weaker solution. This will restore
frozen fish and fish which have be-
come exhausted by remaining out OF
water. AS long as gills are wet fish
will live. / have revived one after it
had been out of water at least four
hours. Goldfish can stand tempera-
ture as cold as zero unless they have
become acclimated to warm rooms.
If waste from fish is white like Irvine
string, do not feed so often. Always
remove a sick or overfed fish and
keep in separate dish SO he will not
cause sickness in others. Never feed
cracker or bread Fish food and flies
are best.

The story of the beginning of the
unique and sensational career of Sen
ator Horace A. w. Tabor of Colorado
is one of the most fascinating Of the
romances of American mining deVel-
opment. 1t was familiar story some
80 years ago, but the later excitement
and romances of sudden wealth follow
ing the discovery of gold or silver
have caused it to be somewhat OBJ
scured. Tabor was q rough and ready
sort of fellow who kept a grocery
store and sort of tavern in the vi
cinity of what is now LeadviIle, Colo.
The prospectors esteemed him not
only as friend, but as benefactor.
He never permitted any man to go
away hungry. He always entertained

the color of mans money or not He
was confident that every man would
pay his score when he had money;

And now the blame is laid on the
city girl who goes into the country to
teach school. There is something so
bright and dainty about her that the
hearts of the older boys get all splin-
tered up by the CLINT of her eyes and
the music of her voice. Under her
witchery those boys lose all interest
in cattle and corn, and aspire to go
TO the city to clerk and sell lace, and
be where the glittering maidens are.
This is the hint of a Chicago banker
at : meeting last week to encourage
the farm boys to stick to the farm.
The hint should be given to the city
girl herself, who could let it be I'M

Personal Encounter Narrowly Averted
When Ben Buffers Presence En-
ragged Garrett Davis, the irrit-
able Kentucky Senator.

One OF the ablest Of the members
Of the United States senate for 10 or
IL years after the close of the Civil
war was Garrett Davis Of Kentucky.
H was man of strong originality.
He was very learned and a profound
lawyer, but he was also irascible, al
though when approached in the right
way he was one of the most kindly
and considerate of men
Senator Davis never failed having
hearers, both upon the floor of the
senate and in the galleries, when it
was announced that he was to speak.
Sometimes there was suspicion that
some OF those who visited the senate
chamber did so in the expectation that
Mr.. Davis would yield to irritation
and interject into his formal speech
some very peppery remarks.
1t was one Of the senator's peculi-
ar1ues that he never would speak I'M
less his surroundings were entirely
congenial. Sometimes a misplaced
chair annoyed him. Frequently he
turned and cast upon the lobby at the
rear of the senate fierce and angry
glances, so that he might thereby put
an end to conversation that was dis
turbing him.
Senator Davis was announced to
make an important speech at the ses-
sion Of congress for the year 1872.
Among those who heard him at that
time was John w Wilson, then clerk
of the commerce committee of the
senate Of which Roscoe Conkling was
the chairman. Mr.. Wilson, as private
secretary of Senator Conkling and
clerk of the latter's committee, met
with many very interesting and some
times dramatic experiences But the
one which he remembers as vividly
as any relates to the speech in ques-
ton by Senator Davis.
L had just taken my place in the
reporters gallery of the senate" said
Mr.. Wilson, ito which | had access,
when l saw Ben Butler, then a mem
Der of the house, enter the senate
chamber. He looked around the body
with that peculiar twist of the head
so characteristic of him, and then.
with his queer little mincing step
went to the Democratic side, took a
seat directly behind Senator Davis
and instantly became much interested
in Senator Davis speech, paying him
the courtesy of very close attention.
Suddenly Senator Davis, who was
little man, turned around as though
to address some of the senators in the
seats behind him, and discovered Ben
Butler sitting almost within arms
reach of him. Butler looked up at
the senator, and there may have been
something in Buffers manner, or pos
sibly some recollection of Buffers
career in the Civil war, which brought

SHORT JACKET REIGNS
ETON SHOWN IN NEW CUTS ALL
OF THE kIMoNo STYLE.
This Means Shoulders and Elbow
Sleeves In One Costume With
Skirt of Striped Goods in
Black and White.

To speak of the fashions that bloom
with the spring is not using a foolish
slmile, for bushels of posies are to
adorn hats and gown materials are to
hint OF the blossoms of fields and
woodlands. In point of cut, the short
narrow skirt and short jacket hold
supreme sway, but there are as many
cuts for both as there are flowers in
the held. However, the empire coat,
this with very high waist line made
Oy seam at the sides or all round, is
showing signs of ousting the straight
Jacket, while the eton, the tailless
thlng one has known these many
years, is fighting hard for broad recog
nltlon. The new cuts for these all
show the kimono style with shoulders
and sleeves in one, but unless a wom-
an has shapely hips the absence Of
tail will emphasize the defect
The kimono style-where can one
escape it? Everything displays the
mania, gown, coats, house frocks,
waists. 1t does not permit a sleeve
longer than the elbow, so coat sleeves
are necessarily short when showing
the phase, long gloves going up to the
sleeve edge, or else meeting the bit
OF undersleeve that peeps below.
Our illustration presents the eton
Jacket and side-fastened skirt, plain
material being used very effectively
on striped. Now, considering a COM
bination of a like sort, there is moth
ing more up to date than a striped
goods in black and white, and for the
plain trimming there are little silks
OF astounding cheapness. The button
molds of this dress, too, offer another
| chance for economy, for where but
tons are ornamentally used, unless
they are of this sort, they must be of
a special prettiness.
Any other spring wool is feasible
for this frock, cloth, tweed, homespun
and all the novelty textures of suf-
fic1ent body for a tailored effect But
to have just the right look, the wing
revers Of the coat, the cuffs, belt and
skirt band should be in a contrasting
texture as here.
The real views of the style show
how the dress may be changed for a
practical goods, the fronts of the coat
tapping over here and the princess
skirt being entirely plain. Apropos of
such high-waisted jupes, they are
much seen among the gowns for

TEXTILE PROBLEM is VITAL
Women Should Learn How to Detect
limitations and Combinations of
inferior Fibres.

The textile problem is becoming one
of vital interest and Importance be-
cause of the many limitations of stand
ard goods that are constantly being
put OF the market at a reasonable
price Because Of the desire of wom-
en- for rich, expensive looking mate
rails, at a moderate price, manufac-
turers have striven to produce goods
to NEE the demand by combining textile
fbres of different origin, or inferior
fbres with good, producing rich and
effective fabrics which are often so
well finished that 1t takes a shrewd
shopper to detect the imitation before
the material is used or Numbered, as
the case may be.
Women, as a whole, are not good
judges of values and depend largely
upon the prices asked for goods rath-
er than upon their ability to Judge
quality. If we had laws governing
textile purity, as we have food. the
shopper would know for what she was

said, pointedly;<
Il have established missionary trees
all over the country. But perhaps yor
don't know what a missionary tree is
a missionary tree is one whose profit
goes entirely to missions.

that helps to uplift the cannibals OF

OId-Time Apple Pie.

a guest at an oldfashioned home
dinner was eulogizing apple pie and
her hostess when another guest, who
had been a California pioneer, re-
called the apple" pie given the chill
dren of 1852 to appease their homesick
cravings when apples were a dollar a
pound. It was made by breaking four
soda crackers into an earthen bowl
and pouring over them a pint of cold
water rendered very tart by ciGiQ
acid. When soft the crackers were
laid on a pie plate on the under crust
Over them were sifted two tablespoon
fuls of light brown sugar and little
allspice and cinnamon. A pretty per-
forated top crust was added and in
few minutes a perfect apple pie was
taken from the oven to delight young
and old
