GOING +. r. ONE BETTER.

During the recent primary cam.
paigns between President Taft and
Col. Roosevelt, the colonel made this
statement in different speeches:
"A vote for Mr., Taft is a vote for
the bosses; it Is vote for Lorimer,
for Penrose. for Guggenhe1m, for Gal
linger and for the rest"
The New York World, taking up the
issue from a democratic viewpoint de-
clares that Col. Roosevelt was entire
" too lehient and ridiculously under
stated the case. The World says:
1.-THE undeniable fact is that vote
for Mr.. Taft is vote for the Nc
Namaras; it is vote for Richeson;
it is a vote for Sidna Allen; it is a
vote for Captain Kidd, and for the
lady that chopped up Guldensuppe,
and for Beattie, and for Ned Lyons,
the bank sneak, and for 'Blinky' Nor
gan. who is also dead, and for Paddy
the Pig, and for the Black Hand, and
for the murder, arson, burglary,
piracy, embezzlement, grand larceny,
treason and bad corn crop. Mr..
Roosevelt has no moral right to sac
riflce the progressive cause by trying
to conceal the truth about the presi-
dent Duty above friendship
There semes to be about as much
logic In the Worlds ironical para
graph as in that of the colonel's.

1T is not the clothes they buy, the
rent, they pay or the food they eat
that keep most Americans poor 1t Is
thoughtlessness, the drinks they buy
when not thirsty, the cigars which
they can do without, that leave them
without bank accounts.
American women go shopping as q
diversion They buy things they do
not need because they are bargains
No matter how cheap thing may be
the money paid for 1t is thrown away
If it is not useful. That Is where the
French woman saves, and why the bar
gain sale is not feature of French
shopkeeping outside of Paris, where
it is sometimes introduced for the pur-
pose Of abstracting dollars from Amer

the goods are needed at the time, but

lot of junk. Were that not so, there
would be no real bargain sales. The

THE ART OF SAVING.

'French thrift" says the New York
Commercial, "is proverbial and the
wide distribution of wealth among the
people is one of the marvels OF the
age. The small French investor con-
fines himself pretty closely to home
securities and the custom OF issuing
all sorts Of bonds in small denomina-
tions helps him greatly. But this is
mere detail. It Is the way he saves,
that is the marvel.
Money does not burn in the pocket
of the average man or woman IN
France. The people have learned not
to waste. This applies to food and
clothing as we'll as to money itself. 1t
is not hard to save something out of
even small weekly or monthly wage
by applying French principles.
when young man in receipt OF
fixed sum each week finds himself In
possession of small surplus just be-
fore payday he should put 1t away and
count himself so much ahead. Every
week he should keep his expenses
strictly within that weeks income. If
he refrains from spending small sum
for something he does not need he will
soon get ahead 1t IS the spending of
money, even few cents, just because
it is in his pocket that keeps him poor.
He may have planned Sunday excur-
sion and laid by the money for it. If
the weather keeps him home, he
should refrain from spending that

A HEALTHY FOREIGN TRUST

A HEALTHY FOREIGN TRUST
A report on the diamond industry
in Amsterdam by United States Con
eul Frank w. Mahin, published IN inc
daily consular bulletin, gives an EVIL
dence that all the trusts are not IN
this country. Reporting on the ola'
mond industry Consul Mahin says:
The demand for diamonds was
good in 1911; brokers received tnelr
usual percentage and general oealers
realized fair profits. The diamond
workers Jared we'll, as wages were
steady and employment regular, though
two strikes during the year made tne
number Of idle workmenH unusually
large at times.
On the other hand, the proprletors
of diamond cutting factories describe
1911 as a particularly bad year. IT Is
common report that they all lost
money. though none failed. 1t is said
that no actual failure, has occurred IN
this industry in Amsterdam for many
wears. The diamond cutting firms are
forced to continue operations even at
a loss or lose valuable customers
who would go elsewhere and perhaps
never return, and lose their skilled
workmen, whom they might not be
able to replace.
The difficulty besetting the cutting
industry last year is charged to the
London rough diamond syndicate,
which fixes not only the primary but
also the ultimate price of diamonds.
A trust that sets the price at which
the manufacturer must buy his pro-
duct and then fixes the price at which
he must sell has the system perfected
to a finer point than any thing on this
eide of the water. The report adds
that diamonds are Is to 20 per cent
higher than year ago and in the near
future will mount considerably higher.
The satisfaction remains, however,
that we don't have to buy them.

A GOLDEN AGE" RECALLED.

Springfield, Mass, Republican,: Col.
William Gorham Rice, of Albany, N.
Y, and Worthington, in Hampshire
county, who was assistant private Sec
rotary to Gov. Cleveland. of New York
has an article in the Century Maya
zine telling of Mr.. Cleveland's first
election to the presidency. 1t is an
interesting and informed narrative
Col. Rice attended the democratic
national convention in 1884, where
the bitter opposition of Tammany hail.
1t was the Office of young Rice there
to answer questions about the record
of the then comparatively little known
governor OF the Empire state, Of
which, of course, he had first hand
knowledge. With him labored James
H. Eckels, of Illinois, and the late
Edgar ]. Apgar. one of the group OF
able young men which included
Francis Lynde Stetson, who had
rallied behind the ruggedly honest
executive who was destined to be
twice president of the United States.
1t was the good fortune of Mr.. Cleve-
land, as it had been Of Samuel J. TIL
den, to arouse the enthusiasm of the
young men who were in politics from
high motives and with unselflsh pur-
pose. There are plenty of living men
to whom the ground which Col. Rice
covers is familiar and for whom his
story will have exceptional interest,
not to speak of the newer generation
10 whom the politics of that period
Is merely history. Particularly inter-
esting by way Of contrast with the
feverish and undignifled methods
which the new primary elections have
introduced is the story of the calm
dignity with which Gov. Cleveland re-
garded the nomination and the cam
paign which carried him into the
white house Says Col. Rice:
Neither the nomination nor the can
vas affected Gov. Cleveland. 1t was,
in fact. source Of constant surprise
and admiration to me to see how,
during the summer and autumn OF
1884, he fulfilled with his usual care
and patience his daily duties at AL
bany. He determined pardon appli-
cations, investigated public health
complaints, and considered the many
other prosaic matters that make up
the routine work of governor. Sew
eral times he went fishing for day.
He took his usual autumn vacation In
the Adirondacks He met and ad-
vised with those who called on him
from all parts of the country. He
sought no one; he saw everybody who
came. In the political excitement
about him he was always calm and
we'll settled as to what his course
would be. His candidacy made little
change in his way of life. His speech
of acceptance, his later letter Of &C
ceptance, and two brief addresses,
one in New Jersey and one in Con-
necticut, constituted virtually all his
extended formal campaign. In fact,
he went out OF the state only twice,
and then but for few hours, to make
the Newark and Bridgeport speeches
above referred to.
In the light of that depletion many
a citizen will look back to that period
as the golden age in American poll
tics-for, says the German proverb:
Speech is silver; silence is golden;
speech is human, silence is divine"
Truly this is the poultice which the
American electorate has come to long
for with unspeakable desire. Will 1t
ever be given to them?
