DIARY OF FATHER TIME.

The modern conditions OF mOrali-
t.. white slavery. politics in big cities.
love Of luxury, the unbounded wealth
OF some and the dire poverty of many.
remind me of the conditions that pre-
vailed in Rome about $50 B. c.
The riches that poured 10 that ma
ton permitted Rome 10 carry out a
series OF magnificent public improve
ments. Italy was welded together by
numerous military roads, so finely
built that they remain 10 this day.
The Tiber was spanned by excellent
bridges OF stone, the city was severed
and the streets were paved. OF the
b. G. IA, cost more than sic, 200. coo.
Thus gorgeous benefits accrued TO
Rome through her far-reaching con-
quests; but ii cannot be doubted that
even greater evils resulted. The bril-
liant culture was crimsoned with inn
purity The rugged virtues OF Rome
were corrupted; the strength col
lapsed before flabby degeneracy; mar
riage was openly scoffed at and even
the old Roman faith lost its hold up
on the people.
The political system Of Rome grew
to be as rotten as that of the worst
governed city of modern times. Bri-
berry was open and the slave trade
was intended 10 meet the demands of
the rich planters, for all purposes.
The doom Of the mightiest city the
world ever knew was plainly written.

WHY WE CELEBRATE.

That Christopher Columbus discov-
cred America on oct. Z. 1892. seems
TO be a well authenticated fact. The
statement cannot be taken specifically
however. 1t must be accepted as a
general proposition.
What Columbus really did was to
discover some of the islands adjacent
10 the American continents and estab-
lished the fact that larger bodies Of
land lay beyond. In reality the Ge-
moan explorer never discovered the
United States at all. That honor be-
longs TO a gentleman by the name of
Americas Vespucius, but il become
necessarily secondary because of the
more general and prior discovery Co
lumbus had made.
Columbus was not surprised when
ne found land at the end Of his voy-
age He was confident it existed and
was determined to find II. This de
termination enabled him To overcome
the objections OF his mutinous crew
and continue his voyage on a provisO.
That proviso was that land should he

man at the masthead raised land
within the limit and the discovery fol-
lowed
IL Columbus should return now.
some four hundred odd years after his
first visit. he would find more to dis
cover and with a capable press agent
would be able to carry enough home
with him 20 redeem Isabella's jewels
and keep out Of debtors prison. A
lecture tour by Columbus would have
all the romance of a DR.. Cook en-
gagement and more OF the reality
Columbus could prove that he dis
covered America by showing the land.
and that is more than Doc. Cook
could do with the north pole, though
the pole was there just the same. In
fact, IT would not be necessary for
him to prove it because we have the
land and there is nobody living who
could swear he didn't discover it.
Those Norwegians who skirted our
coast some time before Columbus be-
gan the arduous task Of discovering
America cannot be considered. They
didn't discover anything. They sim
ply ran against some land and landed
on il TO see what it looked like. but
Columbus unfurled "a banner on it and
claimed it in the name of the Spanish
throne as newly discovered territory.
That Is why we call Oct. u, Discov-
cry day.

\ NEW CONCEPTION.
ery day.

Pres. Wilson has given us new
conception OF duty as it applies to the
man who enters public service as an
officer elected by the votes Of the peo-
pie. The presidents Interpretation is
that the man is not there to crafty his
personal ambition or to serve his own
interests
The Interpretation is a version OF
the prOverb that a public office is
public trust which we have not had
before IL places a man subject to his
superiors in political rank as much
as though he carried a commission as
a military officer.
The case in point is the request
made by the president that Rep. Clay
ton of Alabama shall withdraw from
the senatorial contest in his state and
remain a member of the house. Rep.
Clayton occupies in that body the re-
sponsible position as chairman OF the
judiciary committee. position in
which the president regards him as
Indispensable in the next session for
the reason that business now before
congress cannot be finished al the
present session.
II foresee." wrote the president to
Rep. Clayton. the chief responsible
ties Of the next session will lie with
the committee on the judiciary OF
which YOU are chairman our work
cannot be finished in a single session.
II / dared / would beg YOU 10 remain
in the house" This expression OF the
presidents wishes is tantamount To a
request II is as if commanding Of
ficer should give his subordinate an
opportunity 10 voluntarily perform an
extraordinary service.
The instance may he unprecedent-
ed. but the circumstances justify the
presidents action. He is at the head
OF the democratic organization now in
control OF public affairs and response

ment. The women Of this organiza-
ton belong 70 the class that does
things in this country. the great mid
die class. whose votes and influence
are the controlling power of the coun-
try. They belong to the class which
takes its politics into its homes and
makes it a part Of its domestic af-
fairs. and this is the kind of politics
that is best for the American people
and safest for all parties.
When women vote. as they are des-
tined TO do in the not far distant fu-
ture. the home will play the same
large part in directing public affairs
that il now bears in taking the brunt
of political mistakes and political
maladministration. The women of
the w. c. T. L. are fighting for their
homes against the liquor evil and they
will fight for their homes just as val
iantly against political evils
They are an earnest army Of women
battling for the general good and with
their wider influence as voters their
efforts will not be confined TO the task
on which they have worked for many

What became Of the pigmy?

THAT DEMOCRATIC CLIQUE.

From time 20 time we hear of the
democratic candidates being designat-
ed as gang or clique. To Grandma
Trib. democratic officials are always
a gang. ring" or clique. The
men who surround Mr.. Joyce have
been in control OF the city four years.
Where do you find the indications Of a
ring or clique?
People usually associate corruption
or graft with political gangs, so called.
1t is in an unsavory sense that the
term is used.
Where do you see any evidence Of
corruption or graft in the city admin
istration? Where in his entire record
as a citizen, a councilman or COMP
troller do you find any faint of dis
honesty in connection with P A.
Joyce? That P. A. Joyce is the very
soul of honor and honesty is con-
ceded even by his political opponents.
So general is the knowledge of Mr..
Joyce's fitness; so great the demand
for Just such honesty in public service

election.
In their mad desire for place and
power the "nolier than thou" gentle
men have stopped TO the vilest carlo
allure of Mr.. Joyce, they have assailed
him with false and malicious utter
ances. but none has had the temerity
to question his sterling integrity.
Nor has any one questioned his spe-
cial preparation and fitness for the
exacting duties Of the mayoralty.
Mr. Joyce is not a hypocrite, ne is
not blowing hot and cold at once. he
is not making contradictory promises
in different parts of the city. He is
making his canvass solely upon his
personal fitness and his known quail
ifcauons. Mr.. Joyce possesses cOur-
age and resolution. He offers honesty
in service. experience and preparation
for the duties of mayor. sincerity as
against hypocrisy and personal cour-
age as distinguished from committee
controlled indecision. Thoughtful
voters are thinking of these things.
Democracy never presented a more
qualified or better equipped candidate
for mayor. on personal merit he out
classes the local field. And his high
sense of honesty and fair dealing. his
fitness and his courage will overcome
the Islander and yituperatiOn which is
hurled against him.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Anybody
who thinks a woman cans throw
straight ought to have been in the
Carlton Terrace restaurant, on upper
Broadway, a few evenings ago.
She was such a demure looking lit
tie thing, too-Onyl about 20 or 21
apparently. and maybe 100 pounds in
avoirdupois.
There were four at the table, two
elderly young men, OF the blase type
the girl with the Wallie Schang arm
and another young lady very much
like her. There wasn't a drop of
booze on the table.
1t was about o'clock, between the
dinner and supper crowds, and the
Carlton Terrace was only sparsely
filed. A cabaret show was going on
on a platform about half way down
the long room.
A young chap came out and did an
eccentric dance. The girl wanted to
see him. of course. So did a large
number OF walters. whom the mid
evening dizziness had left with nothing
else to do. One of them stood right
in the girls line of vision.
One slender arm was extended back
of her shoulder, then 1t shot forward
A hard roll just missed the walters
ear and danled with a loud whack on
a table in front of him.
There was quite some suppressed
excitement. Eight or nine walters
came and stood in melancholy semi
circle around the table whence the
missile had been projected. and stared
eXpressionlessly at the bad girl. But
nothing happened.
was dancing and singing on the cab
A few minutes later young woman

shouldered waiter saw the show, while
the girl at the table beheld only his
back.
Zip, This time il was a salt-cellar,
and this time she got him. Right on
the neck. Salt streamed down his
back. and the cellar bounded off TO
the floor.
There are almost as many head
walters in the Carlton Terrace as
there are angels in heaven, and in a
few seconds that particular table was
surrounded. Animated conversation
took place, with the young lady hold
ing her own in good shape. Soon af-
ter which the party left. and the watt
ers were left TO enjoy the cabaret
from whatever particular point Of
vantage they might choose.
