whether the new States which would

admitted to the Union in the course
of a few years would furnish a very
desirable influence and element, both
in the Senate and in the House of
representatives. He said that at

A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. OF COOKERY.

knowledge of the economies of cooking, which
should be the accomplishment of every girl when she
becomes wife, is sadly deficient in the United
States. If all married women possessed this knowl-
edge with also the knowledge how to buy their
saries at the least COST the national saving would
exceed what American tourists have spent in year
in Europe.
And this knowledge would be effective brake
inflated food prices The housewife would always
have the upper hand of the middeman, and families
would be better fed by the improved cookery. The
family income would go further and there would be
to spare for clothes and house furnishings.
When this nation younger and poorer women
learned cookery and its economies in their homes.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

| periods in the worlds history by
swiftness of change. With unpar-
alleled rapidity every sort and kind
of activity has made increase, and
this is as true of science and of social
institutions as ii is of trade and in
dustry. Unfortunately the arma-
ments of the nation have shared in
the general advance, and it is aston
ishing to find that there are six for
eign countries that spend upon their
navies nearly as much as, or even
more than, we did as recently as 1894.
In that year our navy cost us f14,-
100000, an advance of only f4,000, 600
upon 1874. Now Japan spends f10,-
100000 and Italy Eli, 000,000 while
Germany spends f23. 900. and
France Ell, 100000.
Aunts.
From the Louisville Courier.
We know that boundless as is a
mothers love its limits are no greater
and encompass no larger possibilities
of self-abnegation or self effacement
than that of an aunt. An aunt's love
is even more beautiful in some cases
than is a mothers, because If the son
is great, the daughter beautiful, witty
accomplished. no credit is for the
| aunt. Hers can be but the satisfac-
ton OF a work well done. and only
the Master can say, well DONE
1t is not too much to expect that
the human race will take appropriate
notice of the influence of the aunt.
She is unsung, unnoticed in the course
of events. Who does not know. If he
has been denied the blessings of an
"old maid aunt" of one of his fell
lows whose life has been sweetened,
his burdens made lighter by the pres
ence in the family circle of an aunt?

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Dear Sir-"Down Neck" and more
especially in the sturdy old Demo
cratic Twelfth ward" there is but
one slogan, and 1t is being carried
with that stirring swing that carries
victory as of yore. And the slogan
is: "Our Jake is good enough for
us" 1t is hardly necessary to say
that "our Jake is the honored mayor
of this beautiful city of ours, Jacob
Haussling.
1t is not in a spirit Of familiarity
that the people refer to him as "our
Jake" On the contrary the term is
of the endearing type, for there is no
section of Newark where Jacob
Raussling has more sincere friends
than reside right down here in the
good old Twelfth ward.
Two years ago, as the figures will
show, we gave to the mayor the
largest majority credited to any
ward in the city. not excepting the
large Fourteenth and Thirteenth
wards, with their preponderant Ger
man-American population. That's
what talks, the votes.

ganization, too, and an affection for
it's leaders. That bright and able
leader, James r. Nugent, is always
welcome at any Democratic fireside
in the old Twelfth ward.
Once more, Mr.. Editor, I ask you
to call the attention of your readers
to the fact that the slogan of the
"Old" Twelfth ward is: Our Jake is

If the powers that be in Congress decide to put

and which most of think could not get along

Apart altogether from the question
whether the doing his work in a

a genius, 1t is certain that there is
nothing else quite like the satisfaction
that comes to one from the conscious
ness of doing the very best thing
possible to him.
There is a fitness in doing thing
superlatively well, because we seem
to be made for expressing excellence.
1t seems to harmonic with the very

happiness like that which comes from
doing our level best every day, al

trademark of excellence upon every
thing which goes through our hands.

Is Socialism Autocratic? ?
the ST Pnul Disnafch

From the st. Paul Dispatch.
Colonel Goethals, as the guest of
various societies in the East, has eX-
planned how the United States gov
eminent has conducted great business
enterprises on the Panama canal
zone, but that the success of the ex-
pertinent could not be taken as an
argument for Socialism, because the
government of the canal zone was
autocratic, and even military In its
strictness. The colonel thus assumes
that Socialism is not autocratic.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. By its very nature Socialism
contemplates a most autocratic sys-
tenn of government, exacting the most
implicit obedience to it's dictates.
For when the state begins to take
over the functions of private bust
ness II must concentrate into its own
hands great power. Socialism admits
this. They declare that capital is
tyrannical and employers are despots,
and, therefore, must be swept away,
but in their place they would substi-
tute the tyranny of the state.
Those who associate Socialism with
democracy and regard 1t as but log
ical development of democracy, will
have to revise their opinions. If
they doubt this let tnem look into
Germany. The government of the kali
ser approximates more nearly the
ideal Socialistic state than any other.
Your American Socialists point to
Germany as the Socialistic govern
ment par excellence. Yet Germany is
ANYTHING but democratic.
