FRIDAY. SEPT. 22, 1911
IN THE WILDERNESS.

VATHEN all the discussion about how 70 deal
w with the great combinations of capital, how
TO restore competition and all that is sfted, the
conclusion most people will reach is that our
statesmen, from the President down really don't
know what 10 do They-are expected to do some
thing and so they talk, but the problem is a big
one that they really do not know how to handle
Mr. Taft, for instance, is convinced, or seems
to be- that the prosecutions Of the trusts under the
Sherman law will be the means of dissoving the
Illegal combinations and causing big business to
revert to the old and time honored method OF COM
petition. The Socialists will laugh at Mr. Taft.
Others will be skeptica We wish we could share
the feeling Of confidence expressed by Mr.. Taft
that he can destroy the monopolists. SO far the
efforts of the Government to break up the trusts
have resulted in the trusts soaking the people
more than ever before, really becoming more in
solent and arrogant so far as Mr. Ultimate Con-
sumer is concerned
Mr.. Consumer has not been benefited to any
extent and even the trasts not pleased with the
decision of the Supreme Court IN the big cases, a
decision which does not seem 10 have decided any
thing If the sf'tesmen are in the Wilderness so
are the trust magnates, and so is big business.
The Sherman law, as interpreted by the Supreme
Court, may be clear TO Mr. Taft and some others
il is not clear to the average business man. The
latter doesn't know what to do His lawyer can
not tell him any more clearly than Delaware
awyer could tell a publisher what is the real
meaning Of the Delaware law as TO libel

IN free and fair contest with free ballot and
fair count, he does not want the Office.
This surely is progress for a man bearing the
name of German, but if he should be chosen and
there are any reports that there was not free
ballot and fair count, it is safe TO say that Mr.
German will vigorously deny those charges.
Mr.. German also favors the election of delegates
TO the next Democratic national convention at di-
rect primaries by a vote of the people instead of
by the convention plan. Direct election of dele
gates by thesvoters is an idea that is growing in
popularity.
The Democratic candidate stands for other So
called progressive measures Maryland Democrats
seem TO be ahead Of the Democrats of Delaware
in their platform. There is no progressive meas
ure of any Importance for which the Delaware
Democrats have stood in the resolutions OF their
state convention.
The older leaders, who have controlled things
in the past have not been enamoured of progress
sive policies, and the younger men among the
Democrats, and there are plenty of them, show
no serious disposition to depart from the we'll
worn paths followed by the elder generation for
years.
What a fine opportunity there is for group OF
Young Democrats in Delaware to Wake fight
to place their party in line with the party in the
remainder of the country They could lead in a
battle 10 break away from railroad domination
and from ultra conservatism.
One Of the young men, Mr.. John P. Holland
who tried to lead a movement OF this sort mas lett
the state but there are number OF young Demo
Gratis capable young men, who could take hold OF
such q movement and they would receive consld-
erable support from their party newspapers IN the
lower counties. AS il is the Democratic party OF
Delaware is entirely out of touch with the Demo-
cratic party of the nation.

GUNPOWDER AND KID

Really, seriously. though: in the
verses Of Mr.. Adams in his little
book.-chosen for the most part from
those ephemerae of the daily column
in a newspaper, we ind something
more than mere fugitive verse. A
good deal Of It is more serious than
It looks. In the work we are glad to
find something Of the quivering love
of verse form which made Eugene
Fields translation Of Horace so de-
licious to the lover Of poetry. Mr..
Adams's knowledge OF Latin poetry is
perilously near being scholarly.
Listen TO this then:--Horace, Book
~, Ode 2:
Phyllis, I've keg Of fine .fermented
grape juice,
Alban wine that's been nine years in
the cellar.
Ivy Chaplets? Surel Also in the

fancy freworks,-
Why the awning out, why the stylish
doings.

II these few remarks, rather aptly
chosen,

In thanking Messrs. Doubleday
fPage and Company for calling our
attention to the book. we wish, too
to congratulate a lot Of folks who
will see it if they are wise. and when
they have seen it,-still, if they are
wises-they will have bit Of a laugh
which will carry some little sunshine
with it, Laughter is a commodity u
which, as Mr.. Stevenson says, we are
willing to deal largely, and when a
great big lot OF it can be had by SC
slight an endeavor. as the purchasing
of Mr. Adams's book it would be a
very grouchy person indeed who
would refuse the opportunity.

Editorial Opinion
Colonel Creen's Proposals.


Eastern, Pa, Free Press.
The 6,242 proposals Of marriage re-
ceived by Colonel E. H. r. Green, SON
of Hetty Green. the worlds richest
woman. constitute worlds record.
They also raise the startling quest
whether the tradition that man must
do the prposing is losing its force
II seems hardly likely that the
feminine enfranchisement that has
dispossessed the male sex of whole
professions and callings once exclu-
sively his, should be willing always
to take passive attitude IN the mat
ter of marriage contract.
The growing aggressiveness of
femininity is very noticeable. II was
once held that young unmarried wo-
men must take very passive attitude
in the matter of giving invitations 20
social pleasures. They could give
parties in their homes. but their gen.
eral conduct toward the male sex was
marked by a dignifed aloofness.
Their attitude toward friends and
suitors alike was very like that Of
the old time statesman, that the office
must seek the man. They believed
that familiarity breeds contempt"
and that the girl who made herself
too common must seem less desirable.
But this is an age of general ag-
gression The politician no longer
sticks to his plough waiting until the
messenger from the polls shall an
nounce his unscought election He
gets out close to the people through
long preliminary weeks Of canyassing.
The business man no longer sits IN
his store and waits for trade TO come
to him,s He advertises, ana he sends
statesmen on the road.
Likewise the gospel of modern adj
vertising has penetrated even the
heart of maindenhood. She hunts
young masculinity down to his busi-
ness lair. where the telephone is be-
sieged with invitations to picnics, ex-
cursions and athletics.
All which may jar some OF our pre-
conceived opinions, yet the heroic
! 6,242 who have submitted their
charms TO the inspection of Colonel
Green are simply following the way
of the modern world.
Still. IL is probably true that whils
cleverer women may do essentially
the same thing. they have the art to
mask the action ia a pretence Of
aloofness, so that the duller masculine
man mind really thinks he is making
the advances.

led to expect something in the nature
of a review OF Mr.. Franklin P.
Adams's book
And just here we wish to call the
attention OF the stereotypers to the
fact that there is an apostrophe and
an IS" after the other IS" at the end
of Mr.. Adamss name.
Continuing, then: our readers have
been informed that we would review
Mr.. Adams's book. At the risk CT
displeasing the aforesaid millions Of
readers, including Messrs. Doubleday,
Page and Company we wish TO refer
for a moment to a most surprising
statement printed on one OF the prim-
AIRY pages of the little volume which
has come to us. On the page in
question it is related. with all the
insistence of small caps, that the
book Is copyrighted by eleven differ
ent publishing firms, and further that
all rights of translation are reserved,
Including the right OF translation
into the Scandinavian language"
We had hoped to have some little
leeway We had hoped to translate
some OF Mr.. Adams's verse into tho
lovely language spoken by our cook,
who Is either a Swede or a Sweden
borgian-we have forgotten which.
Anyhow, she fell down the cellar
stairs, and after a few hours she was
found in a semi-conscious condition
by the. lady who looks after the
laundr2
According to this veracious report
er. the cook revived as she was being
lifted so enderly-fashioned so slen-
derly and all that sort of thing.
Opening one eye she inquired, Should
It be, mebbe. that the Missus was
mad?"
Going back to the remark before
the last, we had hoped to translate
some Of the verses from ""Toboggan-
ing on Parnassus" into Swedish, DAN
ish-perhaps Finnish, but we are
sadly handicapped by the notice that
all fights Of translation are reserved.

Successful Complexion

A treatment for sallow, muddy or

to two weeks This method is sure 20
succeed for the simple reason that il
literally takes off and discards the Old
complexion. The incredible in the
wax possesses the peculiar property
of absorbing the wornout, faded or
discolored surface skin. with all its
imperfections This is done so grad
ually. the skin coming off little each
day, in fine, almost invisible particles,
that no Inconvenience or discomfort
is experienced--and the most careful
observer cannot detect the use OF this
treatment
The mercolized wax. which can be
had at any drug store, is applied the
same as cold cream. but not rubbed
in. and washed off in the morning. The
new complexion produced in this way,
exhibiting the true beauty Of health,
is not to be compared with the kind
made by cosmetics.
