The Massachusetts, constitution,
adopted in 1880, provided for the
recall of public officials of that
commonwealth, including judges.
This is an interesting fact to keep
in mind when reading Senator
Lodges speech against initiative,
referendum and recall in the Ari-
iona constitution.

The American wooden assoscia-
ton, which is the organization Of
WOODEN manufacturers who bene-
fit by schedule X, that section de-
clared by Senator Aldrich to be
the citadel of the protective tariff
system, has begun spending
money to secure favorable pub
licity and to avert if possible tar
lift revision dealing in downward
manner with their product.
Senator Bailey's ingenuity and
FEASIBILITY will be taxed when he
comes to explain why he was
working for the admission of New
Mexico as a state when 1t is a no
torious fact that New Mexico is a
republican territory and as re-
publican state would send two re-
publican members to the United
States senate. OF course Senator
Bailey can plead his aversion of
the initiative, referendum and re-
call in excuse for his hostility to
Arizona statehood, and he might
even be excused for endorsing the
corporation-made constitution of
New Mexico, if it had also happen
ed that the New Mexico senators
would be also democratic sena-
tors. But how will Bailey explain
to Texas democrats his action IN
cooperating with Senators Lodge
and Root and Jim Sherman in
bringing forward the New Mexico
statehood proposition and trying
in the closing hours of the ses-
sion to slip it through without dis
cussion or debate by a combina-
ton of republican and Bailey
democratic votes?

Some Don,ts for the Sneaker

This is the season of the year when the Q ter-dnner speaker begins to polish up his eloquence, and the man who never made speech In his life, but expects to soon, is wondering what sort of an inn pression he is going to make as a public speaker Here are few things which, according to the Public Speaking club of London, should be of value to every one called upon for speech or even a few timely remarks;
 Don't apologize; don't shout; don't he's itate; don't attitudinize; don't speak in a high key; don't pace the platform; don't distort your words; don't exceed your time limit; don't, indulge in personalities don't emphasize everything; don't praise your self; don't tell a long story; don't sway your body; don't be funny; don't fa- tigue your audience: don't speak through closed teeth; don't drink while speaking don't tumble with your clothes; don't be sarcastic; don't 'hem'' and 'haw''; don't stand like statue; don't clear your throat; don't disclaim don't speak rapid Iy; don't antagonize; don't fdget: don't over gesticulate; don't wander from your subject: don't be awkward; don't address the ceiling: don't be monotonous: don't put your hands on your hips; don't be vio- lent; don't rise on your toes; and don { forget to sit down when you have finished.
 When he has mastered all the ''don'ts' - here are a few other things which the speaker must do to be successful:
 stand up so that you can be seen; speak up so that you can be heard: and shut up so that you will be liked. The three posi- tives are comparatively easy of attain r,erts. particularly the last, but the speaker who observes all these "don'ts' would be pearl almost beyond price, and certainly in great demand.

Silver Dollars and Babies

How in this world New York babiee can ever get decent teeth with no silver dollars to cut them on is more than I can understand said western woman while staying a few days In New York city.
 Why. in Nevada and all those western states a baby who doesn't cut his teeth on silver dollar is pariah from the date of his first tooth. The minute his littIe gums begin to swell the newest, shinest dollar the hints can produce is obtained for him to chew on. Not other silver coin will answer. Dimes, quarters and half dollars may be just as new and shiny, but a baby with big mouth can push them down his throat. But a dollar is big to resist absorption"

SOCIETY IN LONDON
nv LADY MARY MANwARING

Empress Marie of Russia. She also likes bridge in the evening, but at her table the game is not played for money. She is clever needlewoman. Taught as a girl to trim hats, in accordance with the trad- tions of her country she has always maintained her skill at millinery and other forms of needecraft. And she takes great delight in the most intricate en- broidery It may be mentioned that Queen Alexandra has a most curious collection. She has bought and preserved specimens Of every style hat and bonnet that have been in vogue since the time Of her marriage in 1863. A sure tribute this to her taste for millinery. She also paints well in water colors. and the Norfolk coast, with it's wide sweep of sea and sky and it's grey sand dunes, is one of her favorite subjects. And she never travels without her camera. and she made of her notes taken wherever she goes, a most valuable record of places and personages Some of her photographs have been transferred to porcelain, and a few have been exhibit ed in London.
 It is probable that the Duke and Duch ess of Cumberland and their youngest daughter Princess Olga of Brunswick Luneburg. will come to England shortly on private visit to Queen Alexandra at Marlborough house or at Sandrngham. The Duke and Duchess or CumDerland usually leave their country seat in Upper Austria just before or just after Christ mas, for Vienna, for a stay of about two months. The Duchess has not visited England since Gas Princess Thyra of Dem mark) she accompanied King Christian and Queen Louise to this country in the autumn of 1875. The duke was last in England in June, 1878, when he attended the funeral of his father, King George of Hanover, at Windsor castle.

Queen Amelie, who was at tended nv the Comte de. Figuero and Nine Saldanha de Cana, was received bv the mayor of Richmond and performed the opening ceremony with gracious gen Ellity.

 It is not easy to imagine MT Thomas Bardy, the famous novelist, who has gen. erously given a number of his manuscripts to various museums, as writer of love letters for illiterate village maidens. some time ago, however, he confessed to a friend who marvelled at his wonderful knowledge of the English country girl, that when he was a young man he used to write love letters for the village girls to their soldier sweethearts in India. That naturally" said MT. Hardy, gave me good insight into their nature and characteristics. Unlike the majority of writer's MT. Hardy did not begin his la bors until fairly late in life. He was 32 when his first successful book, Under the Greenwood Tree" was published. Prior to that he was an architect.
 A practical joke in fashionable west ern ball room has had a curious sequel in the law courts Mrs. Drummond of Carlton house terrace was sued for libel by the proprietor and conductor of a well known orchestra for repeating what she heard-that at recent ball at which he had been professionally engaged he had asked some of the ladies to dance with him. Ire case was settled to the satis- faction of all parties, and 1t was explained that on the occasion in question some one had impersonated the conductor The young society lady who had been the vic tino of the joke had been much chaffed about it. How light and playful, how del
 cate and refined, must be the humor of a certain class of society
