Nation Knew Him
As Sunny Jim. -

The twenty seventh vice president
Of the United States, and the only one
renominated, was christened James
SchOolcraft Sherman. But, in nearly
quarter of a century of public life.
Jim Sherman he was to his intimates
and probably half the nation referred
to him as Sunny Jim" sobriouet he
earned as one we'll might imagine by
never failing, all-year round SUNNY
disposition.
Sherman belonged to the school Of
Republicanism nowadays popularity
called regular" and he fought his
political battles shoulder to shoulder
with men of his faith without COM
promise or f1inching.
He came to the house of representa-
tives of the fiftieth congress in the
winter of 1887, just past his thirty
second birthday, with the energy and
optimism OF youth, college bred from
the halls of Hamilton, which has
given to public life many other states
men and public figures Like many
others who came to lead in the ma
| tional legislature, he brought with
him an education in law. He was well
born and well bred. His father. Rich
ard L. sherman. was an editor and
public figure in New York state
Two sessions Of congress found
Sherman defeated and out of office,
but not for long Henry w. BENTLEY
of Oneida county, beat him by les,
than a thousand votes in the race 70
/ the fifty second congress- In the in
terim sherman went back. to Utica
built up his law practice and returne,
to the iftyth congress with sig
nal victory he remained in the hous

 Today's rioting is believed to make certain the early arrival of state mill itia Adjutant General Wilbur F.. sadler was here, as the personal rep, after today's outbreak was said to have telephoned the governor that the coming of the troops should not be further delayed.
 The direct cause of today's attack ou the smelting plant was the pres- dnce within it's grounds of 500 import "a strikebreaker6. Their appearance seemed to drive the striking laborers into<a frenzy The rush on the gate came too suddenly for the regular po- lice and special deputies to stop.

NEW MOTION IN 10 FOOT CENTER
 CASE OFFERED
CONN CO. HOLD THAT MATTER IS ONE OF UTILITY BOARD
 AND NOT THE COURTS.

In the action known as the City of Bridgeport against the Connecticut Cos which refers to the ten foot cen- ters for trolley rails, a new motion was filed in the superior court be- fore Judge Burpee today. It was agreed by counsel on both sides that the Connecticut Co.'S lawyers should file a-motion to erase from the dock ct. This wilk probably be argued next week. The Connecticut Go. claims that the utility commissioners are the only ones who have power to decide the ten foot center question and that it. does not come within the province Of the court. The commissioners re- gently decided that the company had the right to lay ten foot centers.

Editor TINES. Chicago. oct. 10.
The editorial under this title, appear

proved the reply of Mrs. oscar Straus
to an interviewer. that her special &C
tivity was clothes
The writer takes the stand that to
gain hearing from man. the vain ami
NAL" her most important preparation
must be "a stunning hat Men whose
influence IS worth gaining, have per-
captions above and beyond dazzling
rainment And woman, in this age of

portant assistance to husband in pub
lie life. by noble and more edifyins
means that mere dry goods.
Now I am a woman and love pretty
clothes but If / were IN the lime-Hght
with Mrs. Straus 1t seems IL would be
such a rich and rare opportunity to
try to elevate other women TO higher
standards
A woman in a high place announcing
the fact that her chief activity IS
clothes" is demoralizing to women not
so strong and influential To appear
weu-dressed a moderate expenditure
Of money. time and brain-fag. is essen
tial TO both men and women. But to
tho thinking woman. the shameless
waste of money, wrung from arduously
toiling husbands. to say nothing of the
unspeakably pernicious effect upon less
fortunate women. Is today, largely the
source Of immortality
Instead OF suggesting 20 woman That
her fundamental function In life shogTd
be gorgeous gowning. let her rather
personify in her own life that to be
fine, is not 10 be fashy-to select the
good rather than the gorgeous that to
be conservative Is more intelligent than
to be conspicuous and to lead to the
more helpful ornaments Of womanhood.
Women seem to have subordinated
every interest in life TO this unproduc.
tive use Of money. The dry goods man
and miliners may. with impunity. charge
ten times over what their wares are
worth. because women have gone mao
with vanity Their eagerness to out
dress each other has put a strain upon
their nerves almost to the point OF
hysteria. Their absortion in the race
after changing styles has warped their,
otherwise possibly, no souls.
So let US hope Mrs. Straus did not
quite mean what Is reported Of her.
That instead. she IS a strong. intellect
ual. g-souled woman, to whom we
American women may point with pride.
and whose interests are Of nature to
rebound TO the god Of her sex. r. L

A LESSON TO YOUTH.

ne pool room and poker evil at
Crown Point has at last been respon-
sible for public revelation of crime.
A young man has fallen. How many
private revelations Of crime and how
much secret misery they have caused
tile Lord only knows.
Ii is hard for a youth in small
town to find adjustment There is a
leisure there. a certain amount of
time that falls heavily on his hands
not found in larger cities and he
seeks entertainment and diversion
along the lines Of least resistance.
Where does he find it,?
Where else but in the saloon or the
pooIroom.
It was the gaming room that
caused the downfall Of this Grown
Point young man
He played poker. The proprietor
Of the establishment played. Ii is
widely reported that the game was
not always on the square. Sometimes
the young man won more often he
lost. It is always the latter way
Then the need Of money The high
way, the gun, the holdup
These things always have a
sequence following in natural order
There was one holdup that didn't pan
out right
Now the young man and his fami-
~ are disgraced. the gaming keeper
IN the tolls
It has been a matter Of common
knowledge in Crown Point for year,
that there was gaming going on i
the pool rooms.
Why then, people ask did tn,
authorities Of the city not put it on

Why indeed?
