ogMocRAcYs GREAT RECORD.
Commissioner

Never in all of it's existence have
the prospects of the democratic party
been so bright; never has the party
been more entitled to be entrusted
with power and control of govern
mental affairs; never has it been more
deserving of the confidence of the
country.
In the coming campaign the party
will appeal to the people upon record
of achievements unrivalled in political
history.
/. For sixteen years the democracy
has been excluded from the manage
ment of practically every department
of the government. Early in that
period our opponents denounced us as
a party of negation and of obstruc-
tion. They asserted that our party
was wanting in that constructive ca
pacity so essential to the successful
conduct of governmental affairs. So
persistently was this groundless state
ment reiterated that many OF our own
adherents were misled, and forgetting
that the most glorious and most pros
porous days of the Republic were dur
ing democratic administrations, they
frequently united with the professional
political claque that misrepresented
and ignorantly and unjustly condemned
us.
Upon the enactment. of the Payne
Aldrich tariff law, a storm of resent
ment against the republican party
swept the country. In the congress
sional campaign of 1910 an appeal was
made for continued republican supre-
macy upon the contention that the
democracy was disorganized, dis
gruntled. incompetent, and incnherent
group without unity in principles and
policies and incapable of concerted ac-
ton upon public questions. The presi-
dent. in his speech at the Republican
Club in New York on Lincoln's Birth
day. realized that disaster was impend-
ing, and that the country was about
to pronounce its condemnation upon
his party. He endeavored to appease
the wrath of the people, not by justify
ing the tariff law as he had attempted
in his Winona speech, but by conJur-
ing the danger that threatened from
democratic success. Should disaster
follow u.s." he said, ''and the repub-
lican party becomes a minority in the
next house. it may be possible that in
the democratic exercise of it's power,
the people of the country will see
which is the party of accomplishment,
which is the party of arduous deeds
done, and which is the party of words
and irresponsible action"
Disaster did follow the republican
party. It's majority of forty in the
house of representatives was turned
into democratic majority of sixty
fve. We await with confidence the
decision of the country as to which
has been the party of accomplishment,
and which the party of irresponsible
opposition. BY Hon. John J. Fitz-
gerald. in Norman e. Mack's National
Monthly for May.

Mrs. Mussey Comes to
Defense of SuffragiStS
Dean of the Washington College of Law Says
Amendment in Ohio Failed Because of Lack
of Education on the Subject

A strong defense Of the women now
engaged in political activities and the
denunciation of those members of the
fair sex who have time to spare and do
not step into the political arena was
made yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Ellen
Spencer Mussey. dean of the Washington
College of Law. and an ardent advocate
of equal suffrage.
Mrs. Mussey has just returned to the
city after a vacation Of two months
spent at Atlantic City and in the
mountains of New Jersey and Western
Pennsylvania.
Il most heartily approve of the
activities of women in the field of pol
itics." she said. The woman who has
time at her disposal and does not de-
vote 1t to some good end such as battling
for better legislation is doing herself
and society an injustice. II has often
been said by persons opposed to women
taking an active part in the world Of
business or politics that the home is
the sphere of woman and that she should
remain within it
Can't Neglect Work.
Il agree that the home is primarily
woman's field. and she should certainly
discharge her duties there with all dill
gence and thoroughness, but where is
the woman who has not some time to
spare? Now this spare time can GER
tainly be utilized for political purposes
without any detrimental effects.
The woman who negIects her home TO
enter politics is the woman who would
neglect her home even II such thing
as politics did not exist. So there can
certainly be no plausible arguments
against women engaging IN politics."
Mrs. Mussey was asked whether she
would take an active part IN politics
this fall, and she replied that she would
be unable to on account or her duties
in connection with her law school
Mrs Mussey said that she is sure
women's activities will result IN much
good. She stated that the enactment or

The style Of Sticks Used by the Slug
gers Varies Greatly.
Heavy hitters of the past and pres.
ent have always been Of widely differ
ent opinions regarding their bats. Dan
Brouthers. the veteran slugger. ex.
pressed the feelings Of most players
when he said the bat makes little diff
ference to batsman as long as 1t feels
comfortable and the owner looks upon
his favorite stick with something like
affection.
1t can be we'll added that the style
Of the batter sometimes has little to
do with his hitting, whether II be the
choke effect invented by Willie Keller
or the crouch that was Sam Crawford's
stock In trade. Young players make
the mistake of copying the style Of
some great batter and Of using club
that is as nearly a replica Of the great
ones as possible.

that he could hit the ball a mile with

not particular about the fail he used
so long as he could get ball or the
shoulder. AS a matter of fact. most OF
the hard hitters make their long drives
from balls that would not have been
strikes had they been allowed to go to
the catcher. Unless one stands fairly
well back from the plate II is difficult
to get the shoulders into drive made
