MOMAN'S MOST CHARMING AGE

NOW WHAT w yOu SOIlSluCl
woman's most charming age, Mr..
Lawrence?" Isabel Bright asked
grandfather, as he came into the
room where we were sitting. Six
girls had met at our home to do
some missionary sewing, ana
Isabel had just been telling us of
lecture she had attended, and
the lecturer had declared that
twenty-five was woman's most
charming age. Isabel was twenty
four, so of course she was much
interested, and being quite a
pretty girl, was fond of talking
of such things. But what girl
is not?
Grandfather looked us over
and took off his glasses before
speaking.
'Woman's most charming age?
Well, we'll l suppose always
girls have been putting those
questions to themselves, but it is
in this scientific age they will
begin to study the thing.
But that isn't a scientific
question.
That's just it, girls; that's
just it. It's not scientific ques-
ton, though it seems to me a
great many of the girls and wo-
men of to-day depend upon a
scientific veneer of mannerism to
make them charming
Now, grandpa, you are not

insisted.
Well. grille, l cannot; am an
old man, but l cannot tell you,
for it all depends
But, Mr.. Lawrence, coaxed
Isabel, with scientifically win
ming smile, surely you know the
age at which women appealed to
you most?'
They have charm d meat all
ages answered grandfather,
and those with whom l am
charmed keep me in that con-
dition. Some are poor, some are
rich, others are very clever, a
number undeducated, but all are
beautiful
Then you do not think any
but a beautiful woman can be
charmine?' asked plain girl
evidently disappointed.
L think Mr.. Lawrence must be
more susceptible than any o. us
Supposed said Isabel with an
other killing smile, as she helt
up baby bonnet she had JUS
finished. Isabel always wanted
to do the little fancy bit of sew
ling if there was any.
| L am most susceptible, he an
lswered, to the one thing tina
makes woman charming to me.

ceptibility. I can sum it up il

FISCAL SYSTEM TO BLAME
Falling Oh Of Country's Revenues Can
not Be Attributed to the War
In Europe.

President Wilson, in his message
asking congress to vote special tax,
pointed out that the falling off in rev.
enus during the month of August was
something between $10,000.000 and
S11, 100000 There was such fall
ing off, but was it due to the war or
was it natural result of the Demo-
cratic fiscal system? Congressman
Philip Campbell of Kansas seems to
have a sound argument on his side
when he points out that the presi-
dent referred only to the falling on
in our revenues for the month of
August of this year, after the war in
Europe began. If he had been dis
posed to give congress and the coun-
try all the information he had in his
possession he could have stated that
under the tariff bill passed by this
congress on the third day of October
last the revenues had been constantly
falling on (Applause on the Repub
lican side.) For the month Of Jan
uary, 1914, the failure Of revenue
amounted to $5,so6,O44.26. For the
month of February the falling OF ip
revenue amounted to 1895, al
most as much as in the month OF Aug
ust. to which the president pointed
with so much alarm from this rostrum
a few days ago."-Collier's Weekly.

Labor Not Benefited.

The federal reserve law took &C.
opunt of the central bank plan of the
Republicans and embodied enough OF
the features of the Republican pro-
gram to give elements of recommen-
dation to the measure. while permit
ting entirely too much of political
manipulation to enter into it. 1t is an
experimental law for which all who
want the country to prosper wish well,
but which has vicious features that
have time and again been pointed out.
The federal trade commission law
and the Clayton Law have been ana
lyzed by former President Taft in nom
partisan spirit and shown to be just
so much Of additional statutes to the
general burden Of law, without having
supplemented the Sherman law In any

Republican Prospects for 1916.

The public appearance Of large
number Of candidates for the next Re
publican presidential nomination Is 3
result of the election that is. perhaps
inevitable As symptom and sign of
the confidence with which the party
looks forward to 1916 It is Of interest
and importance. But as affording any
clue as to what the party is to do in
that year the claims Of today are OF
strictly negligible value.
This is not the time to select or
even to discuss the question OF who is
to lead the Republican party in the
next presidential contest. Tho Repub
lican road to the White House is by
no means clear. One swallow does not
make a summer, nor one oh-year cleo
ton a presidential victory. Overconf1-
dence has lost many an important po-
litical battle, and the feeling now that
a Republican victory will necessarily
come in 1916 is one Of the most effec-
tive ways of preventing such an event.

PUT BUSINESS FIRST
Administration Must Consider
Country's Needs.
ExtravaQance Of the Past Has to Be
Atoned For by the Democratic
Party-Wise statesmanship
Now Necessary.

The extrayagance OF the long ses-
sion will not, of course be repeated
by the short. Not only had the Demo
cratic party violated its platform
promises. but 1t had in some items pal
pably gone beyond the needs OF the
government
Something, however was to be at
tributed to a lack of information on
the part OF those voting the supplies.
They had been misled by yarn that
the Republicans had been wasting
three hundred millions year. II was
on the strength OF that the promise
at Baltimore about economy had been
made
When the Democrats took charge OF
the purse they discovered both their
error and their duty. No such Repub-
lican waste had taken place, and hence
no such retrenchment as had been
promised could be made. They found
that large appropriations were neces-
sary, and made them. But in their in
experience they made them too large,
and soon found themselves swamped.
publican-Senator Burton-who, with
long fork, took all the pork out of
the pork barrel
But the Baltimore platform is no
longer seriously considered. 1t is now
only a smile-provoker. Even its au-
thors share in the general amusement.
The Democracy is advised today OF
what the government needs, of what
1t should have, and of what the re-
sources are.
While the long session swelled ap'
propriations beyond all previous rec
ords, 1t would be a mistake for the
short session to reduce them to star
vation size. That would not be econo'
my, but the reverse-not business, but
= mere political play. There should be
no pork-barrel features in any OF the
supply bills, as. for that matter there
never should be- 1t has not been neces-
sary for the war to teach US that We
knew 1t before.
But our government is on large
scale, and rapidly growing, and those
to whom It has been committed should
support it generously The cheese
parer is not an economist, and some
times not patriot. and his advice al
this time possesses far less than its
average small importance.

Natural Trade Revival.

The Democrats have had a feast of
sour grapes because they cut and
slashed the vines of American enter
prise savagely and ruthlessly by q de-
structive tariff measure. They are wit
Messing the reversal Of sentiment in
their behalf because they have power
enough to force the American people
to be satisfied with crumbs instead OF
enjoying the whole loaf. 1t is intoler-
able to have them seek to cover up
their chagrin by such pretexts as that
Of Mr.. Bryan, which, coming from a
cabinet member, are most harmful

Gratis may say. the people are turning
to the Republicans for relief and will
