Runaway Kite

or boys like large kites. Jack did, He va making a perfectly
VH beautiful ne with Evelyn's help.
IVA Don't make it too big" daddy advised. you may go flying
away with 1T and never come back again.
Little Willie had a lovely kite. His grandfather bought it for him and
it was almost as big as little Willie. He was very anxious to go out nc sail
it o n the beach. Wi1es grandfather lived at the seashore. -'
Grandpa said he would help Willie fly it So hand in hand they started
for the shore.
"They had a delightful time. Grandpa said he would hold the reel Of
string sc that there would be n o danger of the wind blowing Willie away.
Willie laughed. He thought this was a Joke. Perhaps grandpa meant 1t
that way, and the listening wind made up its mind to get ever. -
"Do you think you could fly the kite alone% grandpa asked. II
""Course I could, grandpa he answered.
avery WELL his grandfather replied. Then 1 will go into this store and
get a cigar. I want to smoke ,
mo sooner had Wiles grandpa gone into the store than the little breeze
woke up and wen to work. i
First 1t seemed to blow east and then it seemed to blow west Then III
turned and blew north or south. At leastt that's what Willie thought it did.
"Then the wind changed its mtnd and blew toward the shore.
by this time his grandfather had bought his cigar, lighted 1t and vas

THE MAYORALTY SITUATION.

While eagerly watching the prog
ress of the campaign being conduct
ed by the presidential candidates, the
people of Perth Amboy should not
overlook the fact that they are to
eject a mayor and other city officials
at the coming election. On such oc-
casions as at present it is usual for
the presidential campaign to over
shadow everything else and, under
the old style of ballot. many Of the
citizens vote for the head of the
ticket and all the rest of the candi-
dates are carried along with 1t.
Under our present style of ballot.
however, each candidate must be
voted for separately, so that while 1t
Is possible to vote for Wilson, Roose-
welt or Taft, it Is at the same time
Just as easy to express a preference
for mayor that may not be In har-
mony with the political faith of the
head Of the ticket for whom the vote
is cast.
While we are all interested in see
Ing our favorite elected President,
the Office that comes nearest to home
and the management of which will
more directly effect the p~ocket-books
Of every taxpayer In the city is that
of mayor. 1t is, therefore, highly
important that every voter consider
this office thoroughly and do his part
toward getting the right man in that
position.
The EVENING NEWS has always
maintained that 1t makes little diff
ference, as far as the city is con-
cerned, whether the local office hold
ers are Republicans, Democrats or
independents, as long as they are
fully capable of conducting the Of
fee to the best interest OF the city as
a whole. We believe this is the
right position for every citizen to
take in local affairs and for that rea-
son we urge that all ignore the party
label and pick out the best mar for
the places.
The position OF mayor has become
an exceptionally important one in
Perth Amboy. There are duties 10 be

A PARTY.


Any doubt that may have existed
in the minds of some as to whether
or not the Progressive party, headed
by Theodore Roosevelt, is an abso-
lutely Independent organization or
that 1t Is in any way affiliated with
the Republican party, is dispelled by
the definite statement by no less a
person that Theodore Roosevelt,
himself. who, in his speech at Provi-
dence, R. l., on Friday night, said:
II have been asked If this move
menth Is going to go on, OF If it is
Just a movement connected with you.
I want to answer that question, first
of all. 1t Is a permanent party, q
new party. This movement Is going
on Just as sure as fate. This Is a
real movement springing from the
needs and homes OF the people of the
United States. The ONLY part l have
had In 1t Is that I brought it on two
or three years sooner than it would
have come otherwise"
Nothing can be palmer than these
words of the candidate himself.
While there may be a compromise in
different states and Endorsements of
Republican candidates by the Pro-
gressive leaders, yet the fact re-
mains that the Progressive party Is
here to stay, II Roosevelt has his
way. This mean that n or the
other of the old parties will have to
go, for 1t is next to impossible to
have three parties playing a promi-
nent part In national affairs.
Under the circumstances 1t looks
as If 1t were a fight to the finish be-
tween the Progressives and Republi-
cans. 1t would not be surprising If
at the coming election the old Re-
publican party would not make
showing enough in some states to
give 1t an official standing hereafter.
This means that the Republican
party In many parts of the country
will be succeeded by the Progressive
organization. Doubtless this Is what
Mr.. Roosevelt is aiming for. The
~Progressives attempted to get con-
troll of the party at the Chicago con-
vention In June, but failed. They
have now organized a third party alb
solutely independent, with the inten-
ton Of bringing the rank and file of
the Republicans into their ranks and
DESERVING the old party organization
completely. 1t Is merely one final
drastic step to accomplish their pur-
pose.

EXPERT

There are people, and those who
should know better, who labor under
the impression that laundry work is
merely . matter OF muscle. and that
any ono With the physical strength and
little intelligence will mako . good
~laundress. There was eve 4 moro
mistaken idea, - We have learned by
sad experience.
A successful laundress must be an
educated woman, something OF .
chemist, 4 good fair amount of judy
ment and a conscientious, painstaking
worker.
There is knowledge to DO used in
the choice OF soap and starches, in the
removing Of spots and stains.
To do the right kind Of laundry
work It IL necessary to know how to
wash the most delicate colors with
out fading them.
Most colors may be retained by a
salt or vinegar bath, a tablespoonful
to q quart Of water. A general rule
II to immerse all light colors In salt
water and dark colors in vinegar.
Blue IL 4 delicate color, yet any
shade may b permanently fxed by be-
ing soaked before It IL Numbered for
half an hour In eight or ten quarts Of
water In which IL dissolved an ounce
Of sugar Of lead.
Green IL another frail color; a lump
Of alum in tho rinse water will set
this color.
There are three important things to
consider in washing colored clothes,
after the treatment which sets the
color. First, they should never DO
washed in boiling hot water; second,
soap should never b rubbed On, but
always dissolved, and third. they
should always be dried AZ quickly As
possible in the shade and ironed,
when possible, before they are quite
dry, and on the wrong side.
II a garment IL only slightly soiled,
the rubbing and sousing In the soapy
water will cleanse II, then the rinsing
should be very thorough. The whole
process should be done as quickly as
possible.
The most careful washer may ruin
the result OF her work by careless
ironing.
To be a good ironer means much
practice and infinite patience.

performed all the time and the sal
airy Of $1,000 a year that goes with
the office is not too much If the in
cumbent performs his duties consci-
~entiously.
There have been a great many
names connected with the nomina-
ton for mayor in both parties this
year, but little has been known def
nitely as to how the tickets would
line up. 1t may be said that the sit
uation is still much confused, but the
announcement of Acting Mayor Gar
r%etson, made yesterday, in which he
states his Willingness to accept the
Republican nomination, and his in
dorsement by the city and county
chairman and the heads Of the two
Republican clubs indicate that Mr..
Garretson will doubtless become the
unanimous choice OF the Republican
party, including the Progressives
who, as far as the national ticket is
concerned, will have Independent
candidates.
The Democrats, apparently, have
been hanging back to see what the
Republicans are going to do. With
such a man as Acting Mayor Garrett
son heading the city ticket for the
Republican party, the Democrats will
be forced to put their best foot for
ward If they are to stand any chance
of winning. The man most promi-
nently mentioned by the Democrats
thus far as the nominee Is William
D. Voorhees,. But Mr.. Voorhees, was
beaten last fall for alderman-at-large
by Mr.. Garretson and it is a question
whether or not the Democrats are
READY 10 DTlUS me lNO men ldSS W
face again in the mayoralty race.
Mr.. Garretson, as acting mayor,
has made an enviable reputation.
There is no doubt that he is stronger
today than he was as a candidate for
alderman-at-large. His excellent
work during the strike early in the
summer and his good judgment in
connection with handling city af-
fairs has won for him a great many
friends throughout the city, regard
less Of party affiliations. With John
F. Ten Brock a candidate for sem
ator, he Is permanently eliminated as
a candidate for mayor, as far as the
Republicans are concerned, leaving
the field practically clear to Mr.. Gar
retson. On the Democratic side F.
A. Seaman, William Harding and
Henry w. Kehoe are mentioned be-
side Mr.. Voorhees,. Whoever is
nominated the people should give
particular attention to this office for
their personal interests as we'll as
for the welfare of the city are in
volved. 81 -ata liz

Special to The Washington Herald
Charlottesville, va- March 10.
III was learned late Tonight
that Clyde Milan, the Nationals
speedy oufhelder, and Howard
shanks, the promising recruit,
had both been added to the hos
pifaI list, and neither one may
don a uniform for several days.
The warm weather to-day
caused shanks and Milan 10 cut
loose ON the base paths during
the game this afternoon, with
the result that they are suffering
from what f. known m "chnriey-
horse,- or strained ligar,ents In
the region of their thighs
They complained to Trainer
Martin after dinner Tonight,
and he had them wrapped up like
couple of race horses. While
the injuries are not serious, they
are painful and troubIesome, and
Martin will not permit either OF
them to get into a game or even
practice until they are In shape.
