REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In olden Days, Among Other Accom-.
Iishments, Woman Was Required
to Be Expert Carver.

In the matter Of old time etiquette
at the table one recalls the part
played by the lady of the household.
In the eighteenth century she was mis-
tress of the ceremonies-she carved
and she dealt the while her lord mere
ly pushed" the bottle.
She was also the menu, for If she
gave a dinner of several courses it
was her duty to announce TO Vie
guests, seated expectantly, what was
due to appear at table. A dinner of
n course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers of gentle persua-
sion came into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles of his knife and fork into his
plate, and the sight of a knife in posi-
ton vas the signal for the hostess to
inquire IF he would please to have
something more"
In the art of carving, of course,
the mistress of any country house
was a past mistress. One recalls Lady
Mary Montagu's flight after perfec-
ton under the wing Of a professional
carving master: She took three les
sons a week, that she might be perfect
on her fathers public days; when, in
order to perform her functions with
out Interruptions, she was forced to
eat her own dinner alone an hour or
so beforehand"

Democratic opportunltx Her..

1t must be clear to most people that
~so-called Republican progressives who
at the drop of a battered old hat sur
rendered all their principles and hur-
rahed for ~autocracy, as the inhabi-
tants of Rome many centuries ago ap-
plauded Julius Caesar, are not of the
stuff Of Which modern reformers are
made. They never have controlled
their party and they age never likely
to do so, BY their colossal folly, how
ever, they have taken the most effec-
tive course to rid the country of a
corrupt and oppressive political organ
iZation which is the greatest STUN
bling block in the way of true prog
ress.
We trust that Democrats from one
end Of the country to the other will
not fail to note the iact that the very
stars in their courses are fighting for
them and that circumstances have
designated them 'unerringly for a
great and glorious work.
The hour for progress has struck
and Democracy alone is prepared. If
1t would be an efficient instrument in
the enforcement of the peoples will
1t must profit by the blunders and
crimes and weaknesses of the party
that is now about to di~sintegrate.

"As Clear as Day.

Is 1t possible for Mr.. Roosevelt to
sell the truth about any matter In
which he Is personally interested?
Take as an example the statement
he made In his Worcester speech about
the third-term tradition. Mr.. Roose-
Welt said:
Therefore, 1t is as clear as day that
1t is and can only be a consecutive
third term that violates the tradition.
I had this in view when I said that the
custom regards the substance and not
the form"
Mr.. Roosevelt knows that previous
to the time he broke his own solemn
pledge the third-term issue had arisen
Snly nee in American history. That
was In the case of Grant. who retired
from the White House March 4, 1877,
and whose followers %endeavored to
nominate him for president again in
1880.
The Grant campaign vas the cam
paign that definitely established the
third-term tradition. 1t was not a
consecutive third term, but the kind
of a third term that Theodore Roose-
welt is seeking.
These are all elementary facts
known to the most casual student of
American history, yet because they
relate to his own candidacy Mr.. Roose-
velt is Incapable Of telling the truth
about them.

WHAT COL. ROOSEVELT DIG
Record az President Of the Man Who
Now Seeks TO Be Elected
Again.

When q man has held office for sew
en- and one-half years, and still wants
more Office, it is proper to ask what
use he has made Of his term of power.
What he thinks. talks, wishes or hopes
does not count. He had a chance to
do. What did he do?
Mr.. Roosevelt was president for al.
most two full terms. What did he dc
that another term should be given to
him in violation of the nations tradi-
ton against third terms?
He protected his friends who own
the Sugar trust from prosecution,
while that trust was stealing millions
of dollars from the government by
e of loaded scales.
He ran up the expenses of admins
tration to double what they had been
a few years before.
He brought on a panic which caus-
ed hundreds of thousands of working
men to be out Of employment for
months and spread ruin and bank
-uptcy all over the country.
He permitted the Steel trust, in di.
-ect violation Of law. to buy up its
s'nly important competitor.
He tried to revive the alien and Sc
dition laws to abolish a free press and
.ree speech.
He allowed the infamous tariff rob-
kery to continue, not only unchecked,
aut unchallenged through his entire
Germ.
His most intimate friends and his
faost trusted advisers were standpat.
sers and beneficiaries of the robbel
tariff.
He was the best president for Wall
erect that Wall street ever had.
And yet, in some mysterious man.
Ser, Mr.. Roosevelt has persuaded the
country to believe that he is just the
'everse Of what his record reveals.
