Special to The Democrat.
Hon. G. D B. Reynolds, R-pub.
lican candidate for Congress,
lacked twenty minutes of filling
out his tina in the last of the. Sc
ries Uf Joint debate beld here last
Saturday with his Democratic
opponent, Hon. R. L. Doughton.
The debate was uniquein that
Mr.. Reynolds for the first time
during the joint canvass attemp.
ed to make a serious Republican
speech. Beginning at Sparta in
Allegheny County, it was one con
tinual circus performance, with
Mr.. Reynolds as clown and trick
performer, and Mr.. Doughton as
ringmaster, showing in each coun.
ty seat in the district.
The joint debate injured the
Republican prospects in the dis.
trict. They were already disrupt.
I'd, disconnected, without heart
in the campaign, and Mr.. R-y-
nolds only added to the general
depression and discontinue OF
his party. Instead Of giving new
life to the local Republican or.
ganization in the various coun.
Whooping up the boys'
and giving them heart ior the
fray, his speeches and demean"r
served to throw cold water Oyor
what little life and enthusiasm
was left in his people 1t was up
hill business, however, for an ar
dent TAFT supporter to enthuse
and put life into a Roosevelt con.
stituency.
At Allemarle, Mr Reynolds
home town, the Republicans and
Democrats were apparently dis.
gusted with his method of cam.
paining and members Of both
parties took him out and lectur.
ed him about the way he was do.
ing,-and i, had it's effect. sat.
ur]ay he tried to behave and
really seemed to have come to
the conclusion that the issues be.
tween the parties were entitled to
some serious consideration, and
thot a man in bis position, Re.
publican candidate for Congress,
should at least pretend to some
degree of dignity.
Leading Republicans pronoun-
cell hin Effort here "pitIIul" and
were open in the declaration that
the ticket would have been fifty
per crnt. better off il Mr.. Rey-
nolds had not made any can vass
at all.
Mr.. Doughton was compliment
ed here by leading Republicans
and Democrats on the very able
manner in whirh he handled tn e
issues. A large crowd pressed a.
round him eager to shake hands
with him and predict an oyer
whelming victory in November.
The joint canvass made many
votes Tor the Democratic nominee
and Democrats all over the dis.
trict are encouraged by the out
look, . v,;,-,

varIous pearees o. Envy.

Envy is a compound OF grief and an
ger. The degrees of this passion de-
pend chiefly on the nearness or re-
moteness of the objects. as to circum-
stances. II one who is forced to walk
on foot envies great man for keep
ing a coach and six. 1t will never be
with that violence, or give him that
disturbance which 1t may to a man
who keeps a coach himself, but can
only afford to drive with four horses.
The symptoms Of envy are various
and as hard to describe as those OF
the plague. Among the fair the dis
ease is very common. and the signs Of
It are very conspicuous in their opin-
ions and censure of one another.-Ber'
nard Vaudeville.

Is no reason why the back elevation

cuse in the country.

breadth rather than height. The broad

New York, N. Y.-The action Of the
Kansas state courts in refusing to
order the names of sight Roosevelt
candidates for presidential electors
stricken from the primary ballot was
reversed in part, by Justice Van De-
vanter and Justice Pitney of the
United State supreme court.
While these justices granted the APP

Of error directed to the Kansas SUI
preme court, by admitting the case to
the federal court in banc, their de-
cision does not constitute a final set
Element Of the case. Under It's terms
the right of the Roosevelt candidates
to have had places on the primary
ticket will be decided by the full
bench of the United States supreme
court when that tribunal holds its
next regular session in October. Mean
while the names of the Roosevelt
men will appear on the ballots at the
Kansas primaries.
The effect Of the decision Is to leave
the whole Kansas controversy sus-
pended until October, when it is ex-
pected the highest court will settle
1t before the national election.

terest On a narrow rectangular plot

inherent defect of the site, but II Is
not surprising that he should feel lit

matter OF fact, he Is seldom called

there lie little call for the special skill
OF the architect in dealing with these
commonplace city conditions.
In the country, on the other hand,
the problems of building even small
houses are SO varied, so complex and
SO interesting that architectural skill
is essential If the buildings are to be

thing approaching a social crime. The
awakened and increasing good sense
of the building public should not allow
this to occur.
The designing of a suitable home
residence for rural location is al
ways an interesting problem, since
each site presents difficulties and ad-
vantages of it's own. The design Of a
house should be governed by the ma
ture of Its site, whether on a hilltop,
on hillside, on the open tableland or
in a valley; by the views of the sur
rounding country It Is thought to OBJ

desire to obtain the maximum amount
of sunshine In the living rooms, or by
the presence Of trees that are to be
retained in the garden. The material
of which the house is to be built win
also influence the design, and this will
be governed in great measure by the
building material that is most easily
obtained in the neighborhood.
