Mrs. Chamberlain's Work
For Kentucky

Back there in the kitchen is no long
er hiding place for talent. Women
are developing the most important sci
ences for living over the skillets and
tea kettles. Here is where the work
for greater state, greater nation is
beginning. Home Economics is the
most thought of subject today by wom-
en- of brains WHO are directing their
mentality in their homes-not fine
clothes, cheap jewelry and lace cur
tains, but the substantial things for
making the home comfortable, health-
full and happy are woman's supreme
interest. So much is the desire for in,
struction along these lines that the
Agricultural Departments Of the states
are employing instructors of Home
Economics to work in connection with
farmers institutes.
Mrs, Chas. Chamberlain, of Irving
ton, whose speciality is Home Econom-
les, has been working for Kentucky.
She gives lectures on home economics,
organized home economics clubs and
also places the work in clubs that are
already organized. Mrs. Chamberlain
writes of her work as follows: l have
had no trouble in getting the people to
take hold of the work. They readily
see how much the work Is needed ard
what it means to the future citizenship
of our state. l have Travelled over two
thousand miles in the past month.
Some of this was done In the mountains
of Kentucky where only strong pair
of mules and heavy wagon could go.
In spite of the hard travel, the work is
a great pleasure to me. The hospital
ity of those mountain folk and their
expressions of appreciation, the great
need of science that l saw, was com.
pensation enough as the State could
not pay me. Kentucky is making an

A CANAL TERMINAL AT PASSAIC.

MT AYoR DoNNELLY, Of Trenton, who is identified with the
V great scheme of a ship canal across New Jersey to make a
link in the projected inland waterway along the Atlantic
coast, presents a new plan of dealing with the Morris canal prob
lem. The original plan for the canal included a terminal at Belle
vile on the Passac, but the canal builders yielded to the entreaties
of Newark and continued the line of the canal through Newark to
the Passaic river. The continuation of the canal ditch through
Hudson county to the Hudson was an afterthought. Mayor Don
nelly proposes that the canal terminal be Passaic city, which would
require the canalboats to be towed to the Hudson, making the
transportation cost larger. With a Passaic terminal he would
have the State compel the canal lessees to operate the canal in a
business way or surrender it to the State for State operation. He
asks for a commission to investigate the whole subject during the
legislative recess. The attractiveness of this proposition for the
cities and towns east of Paterson is obvious. For Newark the
ditch must be closed and the land devoted to purposes desired by
the city. Jersey City demands would be satisfied and Passaic
would be made a port of entry. The deepening of the river channel
TO Passaic would follow as a natural sequence. Without the con.
sent of the canal lessees, however, it would be impracticable to
carry out the Donnely idea unless by forfeiture of the canal char.
ter for nonusage and other charter violations. And Mayor Don
nelly is wholly unable to understand why the Governor and at
torney general should elaborate a plan to destroy a canal that is
an important link between the anthracite coal fields and tidewater,
at a time when the nation is demanding artificial waterways and
when Congress is about to appropriate millions to pay the cost.

dEoRdE FRED WILLIAMS ExcoRATEs WILSON

~ FORGE FRED WILLIAMS, of Massachusetts,, a close
MI friend of William j.. Bryan, was believed to be an admirer
of Woodrow Wilson. A letter written by Williams to Sen
ator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, made public today, shows that
whatever may have been his friendliness to the Wilson candidacy
he is now completely disenchanted. Mr.. Williams swings a vigor-
Gus pen. He has been reading Professor Wilson's history of the
American people, which he characterizes as "torysm of the black
est type" and he uses it as a text for a bitter remuneration of it's
author as his candidate. Mr.. Williams cannot believe that the
views and impressions that appear in the Wilson history could be
changed or destroyed in the authors mind in a single year. 1t was
evident to Mr.. Williams in reading the history that the writer had a
profound contempt" for trades unions, farmers alliances, pen
sioners and strikers, as well as immigrants from Europe; that he
had no sympathy with the masses. And Woodrow Wilson had
presented himself for the presidency without any apology for his
past" except concerning direct legislation, which lis popular and
vote getting" He "has done no penance and served no apprentice.
ship to real democracy" A fact offensive also to Mr.. Williams
is the pension asked from the Carnegie fund trustees. He cannot
understand how ga real Democrat could touch such money" which
he declares is "steeped in human blood" These declarations, be it
remarked, come from an uncompromising Democrat of national
reputation, the New England representative Of Mr.. Bryan and a
man whom everybody bad supposed to be uncompromisingly favor
able to the Wilson candidacy.

LA TOILETTE YIELDS TO ROOSEVELT.

O. ENATOR LA TOILETTE is virtually out of the race. With
his collapse under a great mental strain his boom collapsed.
While his friends will keep up a show of a candidacy for
him, the Progressive Republican voters will turn to Roosevelt, as
they did at a banquet in Jersey City last night which had been pre-.
pared for a La Toilette demonstration, when George L. Record,
La Foletteas lieutenant in New Jersey, declared for Roosevelt. All
the vitality that the Wisconsin senator gave to his candidacy will
now reinforce that of Roosevelt, and the movement for his nomi.
nation receives a fresh stimulus. The confident prediction by
Record that Roosevelt will get all the delegates from this State
was not an idle vaunt.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star;
sir-An appropriate answer TO Gov
ernor woodrow Wilson'S conception Of
the Italian race, as characterised In his
History OF the American People Is
found in a fragment of a speech de-
livered by Antonio Petrone in recur-
renee Of Columbus Day in 1910:
Behold that uncouth Italian that
you meet In the street everywhere.
You look at him askance and despise
him as you would despise your worst
enemy. That italian Is ~uneducated,
usually ignorant, generally super
stitious, and often you may consider
him an undesirable citizen; the only
merits you coneede to him is that he is
industrious and provident. Approach
him, and you shall be surprised at
his good sense become acquainted
with him, and his strength OF Char
acter will maze you; lay responsibility
upon him. and you shall nd excep-
tionauy natural intelligence In him
cultivate him. and he becomes q
talent; give his fellow Italians sur
fcient time and q fair opportunity
and America shall be enriched by
their genius. Yes, that unooutf
Italian that you despise today IL
destined to be the American genius o.
the future. Look at him In perspect-
i've. and you will find that he carries
in his brains the germ Of three thou
sand years of civilization. That germ
which has lived and borne the beacon
light of human progress for thirty
centuries. shall become the leaven o.

A POLITICAL TRAP IN CONGRESS.

51a HERE was a levelheaded Democrat from Tennessee on the
il floor of the House yesterday when the Slaydon resolution
aimed at Theodore Roosevelt and pronouncing against a
third term" was sprung on the House. The Democratic majority
would have been held responsible for the adoption of the resolution,
which would have served a double purpose for the Republican
stand patters. 1t would have placed the Democratic party in an
attitude of fear of a Roosevelt candidacy and, in the stand-patter
Judgment, would have helped Taft. Representative Sims, of Ten
nessee, saw the point. He saw the erected ears of the Democratic
donkey. "Pass this thing" he said, land the people of the country
will say we are afraid of Mr.. Roosevelt and fear we cannot elect
our man if he runs" The resolution didn't pass. If it had been
adopted the Roosevelt movement would have received the biggest

OUR Army TO THE BORDER AGAIN.

IN FAIRS in Mexico have assumed an aspect so threatening
AN that our government may again be compelled to line the
Texan border with troops. The army will be put in readi-
ness, and if the orders are given for another general movement
like that of last year there will be a second test of the ability of
the war department to mobilize a large force. The previous
mobilization taught some lessons in transportation that can now
be utilized. And if the Madero government is unable to
successfully cope with the new revolution our army is likely to
have a long stay on the border, with possibilities of being marched
into Mexican territory. Acts by the Mexican combatants last year,
such as shooting into an American border town and wounding it's
citizens, will not be submitted to this time.

Motoring is a wonderful thing he
said, as he turned away from the gar
age. "and as soon as we abolish reck-
less speeding it will be the most popu-
