OF the Panama Canal act, passed by
Congress and approved By the party
which nominated him and made the
platform on which he was elected.
When we predicted the holding ol
caucus we were far from anticipating
its early calling. VIII were sure OF il
since il was to be seen that repeal
could not be reached in any other way
but we did not think it imminent.
The pressure moving the president for
an immediate repeal is explained,
vaguely, as growing out OF "a changn
in international relations" This is
very indefinite. 1t is a plea which I
accepted, might be used 70 repeal al
Of the rest Of the Baltimore platform,
wherefore We are no, disposed to crit
else it over much. But why should
the president cfer any explanation Of 2
demand fer repeal Of any part Of he
platform which he elected? Far better
than such a meaningless excuse as he
mas just offered would it have betn tC
simply issue an order for the holding
Of Democratic caucus to repeal a
Democratic party declaration. Tha'
his would have been enough, let the
loyalty Of Senator Stone in rallying to
the repeal call testify. Our senator i,
grateful to the president with that
gratitude which us lively sense o
fayors yet to come"
The senator makes this clear in
brushing aside as 'puerile" the claim
that the Panama Canal plank 10: into
the Baltimore platform by stealth, or
thorough any misapprehension Of It's
meaning. The convention knew what
it was doing, he insists, but now he
insists with yet more positivenesa that
Democrats should abandon that part O,
the platform which the president has
called an error in the faith, and the
party should purge itself Of htresy
through conformity. When this is
possible for Missouri senior senator, a
man oi spirit, boldness and intellectual
pride, what can be expected Of othcrs1
There are still cakes and ale 10 be dis
pensed. There is still an army Of
hungry and thirsty Democrats willing
in their eagerness, to concede that the
Baltimore platform was made only for
getting in on and not Tor standing or
it will pay better to lie down upon it.
The Missouri senators have Jared well
but there are still hills beyond Pent,
land and irilhs beyond Forth" and
loyal clansman in and by them ALL
While spoils remain, or can be seized
through successive notifications Of the
civil service law, the caucus will re
main a potent instrument in the presi'
dents hands. II repeal Of the Balti
more platform were alone involved, it
would be possible to wish more power
TO his aim. But in the particular case
Of Panama, abrogation Of our own
Legislative acts, on foreign demand,
without arbitration, will be a national
humiliation in the eyes Of the world,
from which We should think that even
the hugriest and thirstiest Of Demo
cratic spoismen wovld shrink. Globe

When WebSter Died.

Eloquent ill life. Webster was sub lime in death. He took leave of his household one by one, addressing to each fitting words of consolation. He wanted to know the gradual steps to- ward dissolution and calmly discussed them with his physician. At one time, awakened from q partial stupor which preceded death, he heard repeated the words of the psalm which has smooth led the death pillow of many Christ Gan: Yea, though l walk through the valley of the shadow of death, l will fear no evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff. they comfort me. The dying statesman exclaimed. Yes, thy r0d-thy statf-but the fact, the fact 1 waut"-fOr he was not certain whether the words that had been re- peated to him were intended as an in- timatiOu that he was already ill the dark valley, Waking up again past midnight and conscious that he was living. he uttered the we'll known words.

Woman and Work.

Women are today what they have been throughout the history of the race good wives. good mothers. good pals. good sweethcarts. good sisters. Women in industry are no new thing. Women have been ill industry since time be
 gan. and the women who have gone ont to factory. to office, to schoolroom. to hospital. to clinic. to platform, are but doing. outside the home, what their mothers and grandmOthers did inside the home. To take three-quar- ters of woman's vacations outside the home and to leave her with mapacled hands inside the home would be to let her beat her life out against the cave wall of prison cell in an idleness that would be madness.

The Best Man.

Once upon d time in Sweden the best
 man at wedding occupied position
 that was useful as well as ornamental.
 In olden days the Swedish bridegroom
 found it desirable, in fact, to have sev- eral best men" to defend him from the assaults of rivals and prevent them from carrying away his bride. The Scandinavian warrior of ancient times was far too lofty in his ideas to conde- scend to plead for a maiden's hand. So he patiently waited until some other man who was more gallant had obtain ed the fair ones consent. Then when all the details had been nicely arrang- ed the proud warrior, with q body of well trained rctuiners. dashed down on the wedding party and, if strong enough. carried away the bride. The best men" (aud it was very essential that they should be the best men In those daySI therefore became necessary fixtures tu marriage ceremonies, and they were Sn well esteemed and their popularity bC,mme so permanent that when the reason for their existence was in course of time removed they were still retained. -learson's Weekly.
