Always Inching Along

Fifty.seven years ago one of the most exciting
presidential elections in the history of the republic
was held. The candidates were: James Buchanan OF
Pennsylvania, John Charles Fremont of California,
and Willard Fillmore of New York. The former was
the Democratic nominee, the last named the candi-
date of the American party. Fremont was the stand
ard bearer Of the young republican party. AS every.
body knows, Buchanan was elected and the election
OF Lincoln, four years later, was the signal for civil
war.
Much water has run under the bridge since our
grandfathers and fathers went to the polls on that
November day ffty-seven years ago and cast their
ballots. Much history of a very striking sort has
been made. The institution of human slavery went
down In a sea of blood; the union of the states was
made q real thing; the nation, then little considered
by other powers, has attained a dignity and import
ance that would astonish our predecessors and in
every essential respect the freedom Of the individual
and the dignity of humanity have been greatly en-
larged.
The campaign. which preceded the election Of Blu
cha6an was characterized by a bitterness which can
not be comprehended by the young folks OF today.
It was the moment in national history when the con-
troversy between freedom and slavery was approach
Ing its acute stage and few there we're who had not
taken one side or the other. Party government
then, and for a long time after was supreme: Within
recent years It has fallen into such decay that moth

A Coveted Infamu

How strange 1t sounds to normal American ears to
hear any man boast of being the author OF the phrase,
TO hell with the constitution Yet we find two
men, one of whom is the governor of a great state
and the other it's United States senator, quarreling
over the honor of having coined this shameful
combination of words. There have been many men
in times past who have cursed the flag Of the country
which gave them birth. There are now in this land
thousands of perverted and vicious men who are CIV
ing their active sanction to the work O fearing down
the country's sacred institutions. But for the most
part all of these enemies of law and order have been
and are depraved creatures, impelled by ignorance
and passion. Two alone of all those who hold high
public Office have stopped to the depths of abasement
where they can regard the uttering Of the words,
ITO hell with the constitution as c%reditable.
Several weeks ago somebody quoted the nasty
phrase as having originated with Governor Blease,
the distinguished Southern advocate of lynch law.
This seemed to please the governor immensely. He
actually preened himself on having added new lustre
to his fame. For a time the honor was undisputed,
and would have remained undisputed so far as the
rest of the country was concerned had it not been
for Senator Tillman. Tillman is not a man to sit
passive while the laurels are being torn from his pal.

which is in accordance with the political amenities
in South Carolina and New York. While the senator
and the governor were excoriating each other in the
chaste language of the Sums, the New York Sun fell
into the dangerous error of taking the Governor
Blease end of the argument. Promptly the bellic0se
senator turned his artillery toward New York, and
the Sun promptly backed down with a promise OF
apology all around to anybody from South Carolina
on any proposition whatsoever.
Mr.. Tillman has brought the controversy up to
date by making public a contribution to the Sun, set
ting forth that he alone is the author of "To hell with
the constitution" Other claimants may arise, but
the historic words are his and must 60 ringing down
the corridors of time as the creation and utterance

last cartridge in his belt. And, not being a negro,
he can go back to South Carolina without fear OF
being lynched by Blease for his offense. ITO hell'

The Strange Female.
I'm the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
It always takes the scientists years
and centuries to catch up with what
every woman knows-and when they
do. she is away on ahead again. as
one might say in Cork. DR.. Walter
Heape. for example. an Englishman.
has written a whole volume on Sex
pound a new explanation of exogamy,
the savage custom by which marriage
within ones clan or tribe or family was
prohibited.
The cartier theory of the renowned
DR.. Frazer made the female largely re-
sponsible for the rule and fear of in
breeding the cause. This DR.. Heape
now disposes of with a wealth of ar
gument and presents in it's place the
hypothesis of the strange female"
According to this view. there is a
primitive male instinct which leads a
male TO seek a strange female. The
same instinct appears in many of the
lower animals, and the whole practice
of marrying outside of ones tribe is
thus easily explainable.
The anthropologists are now quar-
reling over this new theory. and will
doubtless continue to quarrel over 1t
for many years to come But as ap-
piled to the less primitive and sup
posedly civilized male of today, any
woman can expound the whole theory
and practice with ease.
There is. OF course, the counter IN
fiuence of propinquity. which every
woman understands to be greatly
overrated factor. John and Mary oc
casionally do marry one another after
playing marbles and hanging over the
garden gate together-especially in
novels. But the rule is far otherwise.
John a gentle soul In a divinity school,
forgets all about his Mary the instant
dashing Katherine comes scintillating
across his horizon. Why? Because
she is the strange female" And shy
little Mary ends her sorrow by utterly
enhancing the jaded heart of fat
stock broker. Again the strange fe-
male.
And why do men like them strange?
All, that is a really deep problem,
worthy the attention of women and
far beyond tfs range of mere science.
We suspect that even women don't
know. Women are essentially pragma-
fists by nature and ever quite ready
| to observe acutely and let the explana-
ton go hang. AS long as she has a
successful rule of thumb system which
leads to the easy capture of a male,
| far be it from any woman to worry
about exogamy or any other high
falutin hypothesis relating to the
natural cussedness of man.

Summer VS.. Winter Eggs.
eSe
BY CockspM.

The desire OF beginners to get eggs
in the spring, summer. fall and winter
sometimes blinds them to the profit
able part Of egg selling. Few stop to
calculate that no hen can possibly
lay every day in the year, yet at the
first sign of falling off in egg pro-
duction they are fishing around for
a method by which they can bring
their stock back to spring productive
ness.
In the past month there has been
big, and a natural, drop in the pro-
duction by Biddy. The young poultry
raiser should not worry about 1t. II
he should understand the hens are
taking a much needed rest. and il he
is wise, instead Of attempting to bring
their prOductiveness back to the
spring high mark, he will endeavor to
help them continue that rest a few
weeks longer, for a hen that will shell
out all her eggs in the spring and
summer has few eggs left for the
winter supply. 1t doesn't cost as much
to feed a hen in summer, when eggs
are cheap, as it does In winter, when
the prices Of eggs are at their highest.
If We get eggs in plenty in summer
time, and few Of them in winter, what
is TO pay for the feed bill, particularly
if we spend extra money for forcing
food?
Poultry men generally should be
getting ready now to rid their stocks
Of old birds. And this for two rea-
sons: One is that old birds are not
profitable, and the other is that by
getting them to market they Will
make room for younger stock. The
old birds have done their work Those
in their third year will not lay much
during the summer and will then begin
to mott. If they are kept on the plant
they will go on consuming food and
thereby add to the expenses. AS soon
as a fair market price can be obtained
for them they should be killed and
sent away. or if there are only a few
of them they can be eaten at the
poultryman's own table
But it doesn't pay to keep them, so
