POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

Mayor Seidel Of Milwaukee will show
Mayor Lunn of Schenectady how to
run the town along SOcialistic lines
it is reported that Forrest F. Dry
den, son of the late United States
Senator Dryden, who has succeeded
his father as head OF the Prudential
Insurance Company, will also enter
politics.
The old manse where Grover Cleve-
land was born seventy-five years ago
is about to become national memoir
ial OF him. The citizens of Caldwell
n. J., have organized a committee to
raise a local fund of $4,000 that is to be
supplemented by national fund of
$4,000 for the purchase and improve
ment of the property.
The winter before national cam
paign is always called the silly sea-
son in American politics. Nothing is
too trivial, nothing is too ridiculous.
nothing is too asinne to be used for
or against any man whose name hap
pens to be mentioned in connection
with the nomination. Mr.: Bryan is
quoted as calling it the season of
scandalous letters and cheap politics.
Since Col. Roosevelt has announced
that he will not have anything to say
on the subject of being candidate for
president, and since President Taft
has announced that he will go before
the Republican national convention
prepared to fight for the nomination
if he have but one vote, the rumOrS
regarding candidates for the Repub-
lican nomination have increased. Just
as there are about half dozen Dem
ocratic governors reported as candi-
dates for the nomination, so there
are about as many United States sen
atorS credited with presidential am
bitions in the Republican party. IN
addition to Senator La Toilette, the
other names mentioned in this way
are Cummins of Iowa, Oliver of Penn
Sylvania and Penrose of the same
state, Crane of Massachusetts and
Borah of Idaho.
1t is said that in the event of Re-
publican success in the national cleo
tions next fall, whether Taft or Roose-
welt win, provided Roosevelt decides
to run, the next secretary of state will
be Henry l.. StimsOn, who is Taft S
secretary of war just now. Mr. Slim
son is a close personal friend of both
President Taft and Col Roosevelt and
he is liked by both factions of the
Republican senators and congressman.
His friends say he has all the ele-
ments of real political greatness, and
for so discordant a time as this he
is a man to merit attention. He can
talk politics in equal confidence with
President Taft and eX-President
Roosevelt, without finding it difficult
in the slightest degree to be equally
loyal to both.
Europe is disturbed by a new po-
litical organization, The Red Broth
erhood," whose chief purpose seems
to be to preach bloodshed in the name
of liberty and progress. Several prom
inent anarchists who riled Salonika
are in it and its appearance in the
Balkans has been marked by long
list of crimes. 1t is an international
secret society resembling the "Black
Hand in many ways and hardly less
deadly.

FRENCH COMST0CKS EvICT
The LITTLE CLAD DUNCANS

PARIS, Jan. I'M. and Mrs Ray
mond Duncan, who created a sensation
in America by the scantiness of their
costumes, have discovered that even
in Paris there are Anthony Comstocks
who hold that the human form is OBJ
scene. The Duncans have been or
dered to appear in court today and
show cause why they should not be
evicted from the house they are oc-
cupying in the Avenue Charles Flo
quet. 1t is understood that other ten
ants were shocked by the attire-or
lack of it-of the Duncans, and COM
planned to the Anti-Vice Society and
the landlord.
Notwithstanding the bad weather,
Mr. and Mrs. Duncan and their little
son. Manalchas, have clung to their
Greek" costumes-a loose tunic and
sandals-and have gone about hatless,
bare armed, bare legged and appar-
emily healthy and happy. While pneu-
monia and grippe have ragged about
them, the Duncans have gone un-
scathed, and assert that they have
never had any illness since they
adopted the scant Grecian garb.
In addition to complaining of the
DunCdnS AZURE, lne Otnor tenants al
legged that they were kept awake at
night by Doric music played on the
Tyre by the Duncans
"All about me are women with
faces snecrcd with powder and bod
les half strangled with corsets," said
the u2C2llant Duncan. Compare our
cos. lr2,c with theirs and see who is
right. have kept the costume which
wore in the mountains of Greece
when studying ancient dances there,
and find it decent, comfortable, con-
venient and healthful. Landlords and
prudes have no right to dictate to us
what we shall wear"
Raymond Duncan is Californian
and a brother of Isadora Duncan of
Greek dance fame. His wife is a beau
tiful Greek, whom he married in Ath-
ems about six years ago. Their un-
conventional garb has attracted atten-
ton and criticism wherever they have
gone, and in some cities they have
been arrested by agents of children's S
societies because of their little son
whom it was charged was insufficient :
ly clothed. Notwithstanding, the
yOungster is healthy and apparently
hardened to wintry breezes that would
kill an ordinary child.

Cold Storage Ladybugs.
From Harpcr's Weekly.

Ladybugs OF Nevada origin are i'm
ported into California to destroy many
of the insect pests of vines and orchards.
They are found in moss under the snow !:
but at that season they cannot be pressed
into service because the worms on which
they feed have not yet appeared, while
the ladybugs are still alternating.
Accordingly the little Nevadans are
placed in refrigerating wagons and thus
conveyed to California to remain in cold
storage until their services on vines and
trees are required. During all this time
they take no food. With spring come the
destroying worms, and then the ladybugs
is taken from her prison and dispersed
where she appears most likely to do her
work we'll AS she is ravenously hungry,
the work is begun and continued until the
worms are destroyed.
