BULLY. aunt DELLA.


To those more or less apochryphal heroines

We know about the lady OF rare presence OF

are familiar with the delicate maiden who does

an elephant on the rampage. who yet respects
his family ties. The classic Of the western
housewife who runs the grizzly bear out OF
her dairy wifi a broom-stick has become
common incident with repetition. Likewise.
there is the lady who routes footpads with a
hatpin. knocks down Washers with def jabs
to the solar plexus. practices jiu-jitsu on in
cautious burglars upsets ministries with paving
stones. or banishes kings with slippers with
buttons of walnutsized pearls.
All these are familiar characters In the
woman's movement, which the wise were wise
to avoid. even If their agility in doing so
necessitate the sacrifice of well-earned dig
nifty.
No such example, however, equals that set
by Aunt Della Torrey Aunt Della, who burst

OVERLAPPING POLITICS.

There is a little too much saocharine in
the twin measures OF duty-free sugar and ex
else income tax, which the House is now ex-
pected to pass The political Is capable
of swallowing many things but there are some
disguised viands which even its blunted per
ceptions cannot fail TO recognize We think
that this play of the Democracy is one effort at
strategy which has carried the game too far.
The real vice in the bills fathered by Mr.. Tn
derwood is not remotely that which concerns
their justice availability. Sugar, as an ar
tice OF general consumption. ought to take it's
place as one of the foremost of those commodi-
ties which consistent scheme Of tariff revision

In health conditions Richmond shows the
best record since 1909. Typhoid fever is at the
lowest ebb In years. Malaria is practically
harmless, SO far fatal results concerned.
1t is easy to relate these conditions with the
work Of the department of health. and with
the inauguration of n modern water system.
In his recommendations, the Mayor is liberal
in accord with the citys needs. and with the
city's wealth. The revenue Is b. many thous-
ands greater than ever before. The bonded
Indebtedness, considering assets is negligible.
Many cities which bonded within the safety
limit of eighty per cent. of taxable property
may well wonder at a town which with approx
u1aiely s1o,oo0.ooo of Indebtedness has double
that amount of assessed valuations.

Roosevelt and the Money Trust.

have used the words attributed to him by all
the papers this morning. about the Money
Trust being for Taft. Such open placing
himself In the same class with Bryan would be a
grievous thing for most of the ex-President S
friends to contemplate. We prefer to believe
that he has been unsupported that he was
misunderstood. The readiness however. with
which wild language of this kind is credited to
him, suggests the feeling of apprehension with
which steady going people think Of the pos
sibflity OF his running for the presidency again.
Should he be nominated after hard fight in
the party. leaving divisions and bitterness be-
hind It. and should the election appear doubtful.
