AduIation Pleased Rousseau.

Rousseau, whose bicentenary cele.
bration occasioned riot in Paris the
other day, created a sensation when
he visited England in 1865. Rousseau
and his Armenian dress" wrote Lord
Charlemont, were followed by
crowds when he first arrived in Lon
don and as long as this species of
admiration lasted he was contented
and happy. Garrick not only gave a
supper in his honor, but played two
characters specially to please him.
Rousseau was highly gratifed, but
Mrs. Garrick declared that she had
never spent a more unpleasant eve
ming in her life, the philosopher be-
ing so anxious to display himself,
and hanging over the front of the
box so much, that she was obliged to
hold him by the skirts Of his coat to
prevent him from falling over into
the pit"

All United for Wilson.

The unanimity with which all Demo-
Gratis and Democratic newspapers are
supporting Woodrow Wilson is re-
markable. There has not been a NOM
ination 30 generally accepted and SO
warmly ratified by any party in many
years. After every national conven-
ton there have been daily reports
about papers which have repudiated
the candidate nominated and about
prominent people who have gone over
to the other party. On this occasion
there are practically no Democratic
papers but what are heartily support
Ing the candidacy Of Woodrow VIII
son. All Democrats are for him, and
thinking, progressive Republicans are
for him.

ELECTRIC LIGHT IN DENMARK
Every Town in That Country of Over
5000 Population Has
v Public Service.

According to recent information
about the progress of electric light
and power industries in Denmark, it
appears that all the towns of 5000
inhabitants and over are now provid-
ed with public electric service, says
the Scientific American. AS to towns
having between 5000 and 5000 inhab-
itants, there are only three in which
electric mains are not installed, so
that 1t will be seen that Denmark is
one of the most progressive countries
In this respect. The largest sized cleo
trio stations are to be found at Co.
penhagen and at present there are
three large plants in operation giving
a total of $4,000 horse power. Cur
rent is supplied for the city mains,
as well as for the tramway lines. AS
regards the Danish stations in small
towns, in general each town has it's
own plant, and there is but one ex-
ample of an intercommunal system.
This is at Skovshoved, near Copenha-
gen, and the central station extends
Its power lines over all the suburban
regions, also supplying the tramways
OF Hellerup and Klampenburg. In
most of the town electric stations the
Diesel heavy oil engine is used.

ABOUT MR. PERKINS
THINGS CONGRESSMAN STANLEY
SAID OF COL. RoosEVELT's
FINANCIAL AID.
WIDOW AND ORPHAN ROBBED
Plain Talk Concerning the Man Who
Contributed $4,000 Of Other Peo-
Peoples Money to Aid In the Elee-
tlon Of T. r.

People everywhere are asking why
George Perkins, late Of j. P. Morgan
& Co., and now of the Harvester trust,
Is such an enthusiastic Progressive,
and why Mr.. Roosevelt has made him
his campaign chairman. Both have
explained, each is pleased with the
other Roosevelt tells us of Perkins
coming to him, but perhaps, when all
is known, it will develop that he went
after Perkins
Mr.. Morgans ex-partner has been
advocating this long time the creation
Of court of big business at the
capital city which, as we understand
his proposition, will leave the govern
ment very little to do. This is similar
to Roosevelt's plan to establish an au-
tocratic stewardship of the public well
fare untrammeled by courts or by con-
gress. When great men think along
the same lines they inevitably must
come together.
In connection with Mr.. Perkins past
1t may be of interest to hear in part
what Congressman Stanley had to say
In the house respecting the $4,000 Of
other peoples money contributed by
Perkins to aid in Roosevelt's cleo
ton:
He gave his personal check to Mr..
Bliss and was reimbursed by check Of
the New York Life Insurance COM
pany, payable to ]. P. Morgan & Co.
The proceeds of this check were traced
to Mr.. Perkins, and he was arrested
under warrant charging him with
grand larceny. Perkins knew the con-
sent of the policy holders was neces-
sary to save this appropriation of their
funds from larceny, and that consent
was not obtained, and could not have
been obtained.
who were these pilfered policy
holders? The most pathetic and help
less figures in all this tale Of tears
the young mother, wrapped in the
black habiliments Of woe; orphans
wailing the name Of father above the
silent dead. He robbed the widow Of
her slender patrimony and snatched
the last crumb from the pinched fin
gers Of helpless childhood. In all the
loathsome annals of greed and graft
there is nothing so sordid and pitiless
as the creatures who did It, This
man escaped a prison cell by the skin
of his teeth for having picked the
pockets Of shroud."
This is what Mr.. Stanley said Of
the campaign manager Of the third
term party, whose motto is "let the
people rule!" This is Mr.. Perkins

Did Roosevelt Tell the TRUTH

Questions of veracity are so much
in evidence nowadays that, happening
to pick up an old newspaper the
above question Immediately arose:
President Roosevelt, on being in
formed Of Mr.. Taft's nomination for
the presidency. said:
81 feel that the country is indeed
to be congratulated upon the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Taft, I have known him
intimately for many years, and have
a peculiar feeling for him because
throughout that time we have worked
for the same object with the same
purposes and ideals.
II do not believe there could be
found in all the country a man 80
well fitted to be president. He is not
only absolutely fearless, absolutely
disinterested and upright, but he has
the widest acquaintance with the ma
TONS needs without and within and
the broadcast sympathies with all our
citizens.
He would be emphatlcally a pres
ident of the plain people as Lincoln,
yet not Lincoln himself would be
freer from the least faint of dema-
gogy, the least tendency to arouse
or appeal to class hatred Of any kind
He has peculiar and intimate
knowledge of and sympathy with the
needs of all of our people-of the
farmer, of the wage-worker, Of the
business man. Of the property owner.
No matter what a mans occupation
or social position, no matter what his
creed, his color, or the section Of the
country from which he comes, II he
10 an honest, Woodworking man, who
tries to do his duty toward his neigh
Dor and toward the country, he can
rest assured that he will have in Mr..
Taft the most upright of representa-
tives and the most fearless Of cham
pions. Mr.. Taft stands against privi-
lego, and he stands prominently for
the broad principles Of American citi-
Eenship which lie at the foundation Of
our national well-heing."
II Mr. Roosevelt told the truth
then. what shall be said Of some of
bis recent utterances!

teaspoonful mustard seed, two tea
spoonfuls celery seed, two cupfuls of
sugar, three-quarters of a cup of flour,
one-quarter Of a pound of ground
mustard one tablespoonful of tur-
meric powder. Divide caulifower in
pieces and boil it and the onions in

That the modern desire is universal
among men of deeds to make use OF
the pen has been demonstrated once
more by the volume published by the
heir to the German throne, entitled
"FTom My Hunting Diary" who like his
illustrlous father, is seeking literary
expression, and whose book is well
written and quite readable. In some
periods of history the ability to per-
perform deeds generally vas regarded
Is absolutely exclusive OF the ability
to portrait them by rehearsal, says the
Washington Herald. Narrative skill
in medieval times If romance even
was considered unmanly. Only trou-
badours, or court testers, were tellers
of tales and singers of songs, knights
and squires devoting themselves to the
more serious, at least more concrete,
business Of love or war. But in all
periods of creative eras in history the
desire for literary expression has gone
hand in hand with action, one supple
menting the other. And today. in what
is the greatest of all creative periods,
one Of its most remarkable phases Is
the vast output of the written word.
A universal consciousness is, alert to
hear and, to tell. AS never before the
doors Of deeds also are the narrators
of them.

PROPER USE OF FATS
SHOULD BE KEPT SEPARATELY
AFTER HOME RENDERING.
German Housewives Have Good Meth
cd With Suet-old-Fashloned
Manner Of Clarifying Fat
From tho Soup Kettle.

Fats that are derived from the cook.
ing Of bacon. ham, chicken, beef and
other meats should be kept, each in
its own receptacle, to be used for diff.
ferent purposes.
Home rendering of both suet and
leaf lard has its advantages, because
the product is generally superior to
what can be bought for the same
price.
Both suet and leaf lard require
cooking In order to loosen the fat
from the tougher membrane that holds
it. For this purpose the material Is
cut In small pieces and covered with
water and allowed to cook slowly for
some time until no more water re-
mains and the scrap has turned to a
light brown.
A better method for suet Is that
used by German housewives, who
economic on butter by the use Of
beef fat more than do American house
keepers. The suet is cut in small
pieces and covered with water, in
which 1t is allowed to soak for a day,
the water being changed once in the
time. 1t is then drained and put into
an iron kettle with one.half tea cup
of skim milk to every pound of the
suet. 1t should be cooked very slow
ly.
When it has partly cooled it should
be carefully poured off. This fat has
no unpleasant taste or odor, and in
many recipes may be substituted for
part of the butter. Some cooks add
a pound of leaf lard to four or five of
the suet; this makes a softer fat, as
lard has a lower melting pound than
beef fat
An old-fashioned method of clarity
Ing fat from the soup kettle, or from
cooked meats, so that it may be used
In the kitchen, is to add the cold fat
to a liberal quantity of cold water,
then heat slowly and let cook for an
hour or more. When cold, the cake of
fat is removed and the lower portion,
which will contain the small particles
of meat, etc, should be scraped away
and the white, clean fat saved. If the
flavor or color of both are not salts
factory the process may be repeated
several times. Another method which
Is often recommended is to cook a
number of slices of raw potato in the
boiling fat.
When an ice chest is used fat in
small quantities may be easily kept
sweet for cooking purposes. If lard
is rendered at home in quantity suf-
ficient for a long time, it should be
kept covered in tins or earthen jars,
in cool, dry place.

Governor Wilson Talks to Farmer

Governor Wilson alks TO FARMERS.
The chief good points of Woodrow
Wilson's talk to farmers Of three
states were three:
First, he was interested himself. He
believes profoundly in government by
public opinion, in the value of the
thought on public questions Of the
average man. We have heard speeches
by presidential candidates-some OF
them not more than four years ago
which had about as much of the spon-
taneity that comes from sense that
the thing said Is worth saying as the
greeting extended to the three little
maids" by Poo-Bah, In 1.-THE Mikado."
But Governor Wilson has the zest that
comes from enjoyment Of real oppor-
tunity.
Second, Governor Wilson is clear in
his understanding of national prob
lens. He knows human weaknesses
and selfshnesses; this helps him to
discuss the tariff intelligently. He
knows how to organize and govern
men; this makes him worth listening
to when he discusses remedies.
Third, the governor realizes the ire
mendous strength of the forces be-
hind the rising tide of Democratic sue
cess. He realizes that victory at the
polls is practically assured and that
the great problem is to get ready to
use that victory wisely. He is think
ing not Of election day only, but of
the four years which will follow.

TAFT THREAT BAD MEDICINE
Assault on the Tariff No Longer Ia
an Attack on Citadel Of
Bushes.

ITO them / appeal, as to all Re
publicans, to Join US in an earnest
effort to avert the political and eco
nomical revolution and business
paralysis which Republican defeat
will bring about From Mr.. Taft's
speech Of acceptance.
This amazing utterance is either
an honest forecast Of conditions or a
threat. Which is 1t?
In order to be frightened by a curse
the Consumer" must believe in the
divinity or fetch in whose name the
curse is launched. Our ancestors be-
lieved in Wotan and Loki; but the
man who would curse in the name OF
these divinities today would not
frighten anybody, and would get
locked up in the observation ward
into the bargain. Now in the good
old days Of Mark Hanna such talk as
Mr.. Taft's was good medicine. 1t
worked. The barons of protection
stood ready to put the screws upon
the general business of the country In
the event Of Democratic victory. An
assault upon the tariff was IAN attack
on the citadel of business"
Some things have changed since
those days. People have been read
ing and thinking. They know, for
example, that the steel interests Of
the United States are just selling
10000 tons of rails to one Canadian
railroad and tbSee-fourths that
amount to another. They know that
the manufacturers of the United
States are selling in the foreign mar
ket one thousand millions of dollars
of manufactured goods year.
They know that there is a coalition
of banking interests in the United
States that might produce a panic
through the contraction Of credits, II
1t pleased. They mean, ultimately,
to get to that situation and reform
the currency. Meanwhile, they are
watching the financial horizon with
one eye, and keeping the other on
the witches buckets that brew the
storms.
Mr.. Taft's threat is bad medicine.
1t is a worn-out curse. The divinities
behind 1t are discredited. The 100
per cent. taxes on gloves and blankets
are going to be replaced by reason
able duties and the tariff is going to
receive like treatment all along the
line. Our steel mills are going to
keep on exporting rails by the ten
thousand tons. Our more than 3d.
100000 worth Of manufactured ex-
ports are going to continue to be sent
out on every working day in the year,
via the seven seas. The crops are
going to be harvested. These United
States will continue to do business
at the same old stand. They will do
more Of it than ever under a Demo
cratic president, and with a congress
playing the open game. In few
years, good old Mr.. Taft will wonder
how he could have ever believed,
without assistance, the nonsense
wherewith he sprinkled his accept
ance speech.-St. Louis Republic.
