a Straw Vote.

Very often a STRAW vote" does
not indicate anything worth noting,
the people in charge Of It manipu-
lating the vote so that it points to
their favorites as winners, but
sometimes such votes indicate more
than those who propose and publish
them appear to see in the returns,
declares the Uniontown Newsstand
ard.
A Missouri paper has taken a
straw vote" on Democratic candl-
dates and reports that Speaker
Clark has 1921 votes, Colonel
Bryan 1877 and other candidates
have smaller numbers, and it is jubi-
liant because the speaker leads.
When you consider that this vote is
polled from the speakers own state
and adjacent territory. and that the
speaker is an active candidate.
while Colonel Bryan is not. these
figures surely indicate that the Ne
braskan is the most formidable man
in the party. 1t is not probable that
Speaker Clark could approach Col
onel bryan in straw vote" among
Democrats in other sections of the
country. The vote given out from
Missouri Indicates that Colonel
Bryan could beat the speaker fully
1s to in other parts of the coun-
try. The colonel is always fornt.-
able in straw vote" contest.

Two "standpatters."

In a recent issue the local expo
nent Of democratic policies pub
lished the following editorial:
"The Senate was discussing the
best bill for the establishment of a
children's Bureau in the Department
OF Commerce and Labor. Senator
Borah, the author OF the bill, had
gone to great length to explain how
the huge corporations were exploit
ing little children, crushing them,
with hard toll, while they were yet
OF tender years. He explained that
the bill contemplated no interference
with the proper relation of parents
toward their children, and that its
purpose was merely to provide for
the collection of statistics and in
formation on which the separate
states and municipalities might base
a solution of the problem of child
welfare! aa7'ge}
~" In the. great cities said Senator
Borah, little children tester and
swelter and steal and starve and die,
This bill Is designed toad them
'SBy this time Senator Hepburn
was tearing his hair. When Mr..
Borah finished he rose in his place
and for two hours complained of the
'unconstitutionality of the bill. His
final argument was that Abraham
Lincoln was a poor boy"
1t is difficult to fathom exactly
what the local Democratic sheet
means by this garbled and bungle-
some article. 1t says that when Mr..
Borah, the author OF the bill, had
finished talking he rose in his place
and complained of the unconstitu-
tionality of the bill. Such garbling
as this is puerile when 1t makes the
author OF a bill argue its unconsti-
Itutionality and gives the inference
that the argument was grounded on
Abraham Lincoln's having been a
poor boy. 1t appears, however, that
the exponent does not think much
OF those who opposed the bill, a
painful overlooking, doubtless, OF its
masters instructions.
Among the United States senators
who voted against this bill for the
formation of a children's bureau
were William E. Chiffon and Clar-
ence w. Watson, Democratic sena.
tors from West Virginia. The for
mer made his maiden speech in the
Senate on the measure and argued
among other things that it was IN
constitutional He also said the
small appropriation the bill pro-
vided would be too expensive lux
ury for the people. He may not
have torn his hair while making his
arguments but he did his best to
split hairs on the subject.
Opposition to the children's
bureau bill is designated by the ex-
ponent as standpatters' wailing.
Thus we see and are assured that
the two United States senators from
West Virginia are standpatters-
standing pat for themselves and
their interests.

Tipping a NIisdemeanor.

The Mississippi legislature has
passed law forbidding the giving
or receiving of tips and making it an
offense punishable by fines. If 1t
can be proved constitutional Mississ-
fppi has gone long way toward
the solution of this vexing problem.
That its constitutionality will be
tested is almost certain, and in such
test those receiving tips will UNI
doubtedly be supported by those who
employ them. because ii su>h
gratuities are prohibited it will
mean that this class of labor viii
have to be given larger wages.
In this same constitutfonafity
comes the rub, says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. The law provides
for fine not only of those receiv-
ing tips, but for those who give
them, Whether it can withhold n
man from giving to whom he wishes
what is his own Is debatable ques-
tion in which the bulk of public
opinion will probably be against the
proposition
But. even If the law can not be
upheld, It will at least serve the
useful purpose OF continuing the
agitation against a nuisance that has
reached uncommonly dlsagreeable
proportions,

should Book Themselves Over.

A set ofIleurh-stone scoundrels,
libertihes and worthless hounds has
gone to barking again about the
duties of the prosecuting attorney
and the judge of the criminal court.
They seek to make them pliable by
their attacks. One of them was
heard to say to another a few days
ago: y ~ ~
1.-THE only way we hope to get our
way is to attack public officers. Let
us try to make such officers believe
that the people will actually believe
that they are not true unless they do
what we suggest.
1.-THE meaner things we say about
them the more probable they will do
things our way"
Such ours in human form may
have an idea that men OF respecta-
bllity and honor will fall victims to
their slime. but their bite they will
soon find out only poisonous to
themselves all the more with their
lack of creditable standing in d
civilized community and they will
find themselves crawling into their
domici!es like badly whipped dogs.
That set of self-sainted mortals
should see themselves as others see
them, and then If they have the
slightest bit Of principle. they would
seek to hide from their shame and
be hermits forever afterwards.

Substitute for Rubber.

The story from Philadelphia that
a man of that city has discovered a
substitute for rubber which is man
ufactured from various kinds OF
waste viii be, accepted with a grain
of; salt until the facts he claims are
fully established, observes the Wash
ington Herald. 1t has long been
the dream of chemists that sub
stance which would take the place
of rubber IN many of the forms in
which 1t is used would ultimately
de discovered, but. like the famous
passage to Cathay in the time of Co.
lumbus, the result has eluded pur-
suit
1T may be put down as a fact
that some time, somewhere. such a
substitute will be found. 1t may
not have all the qualities of rubber,
which seems to have been a special
gift OF Providence to mankind, of a
value impossible of replacement or
counterfeit. But the use OF rubber
has extended so enormously, and the
supply is so limited in tropical coun-
tries, that the mind of the world
has been, as it were, concentrated
upon the proposition of finding
some substance which would, under
proper conditions, take its place.
Until now no such product has been
found.
