This speech, therefore. coming at this
time from such a source, will attract
almost as much attention as Mr..

In the course of his remarks last
night, Mr.. Underwood declared that
the time had come when the gov

leaders OF industry and finance.

on our way to social hetterment
when sound progressivism must
recognize that the proper regulation
of business requires that it must

manufacturing be encouraged, and
the country made as independent as
possible on all such lines within its

Neutral Woes in 1909 and Today.

From President Madison's First Inaugural Ad
dress. 1903.
"Jndulging no passions which tres
pass on the rights or the repose of
other nations. it has been the true
glory of the United States to cultivate
peace by observing justice and to en-
title themselves to the respect of ma
tions at war by fulfilling their neutral
obligations with the most scrupulous
Inpartiality. This unexception-
able course could not avail against the in
justice and violence of the belligerent
powers. In their rage against each other,
or impelled by more direct motives, prin-
ciples of retaliation have been introduced
equally contrary to universal reason
and acknowledged law. How long their
arbitrary edicts will be continued in
spite of the demonstrations that not
even a pretext for them has been given
by the United States and of the fair
and liberal attempt to induce IA reyo-
cation of them, cannot be anticipated. ="

Street Car Starts.

A ruling by the District Court
OF Appeals establishes the principle
that the sudden starting of a street
railway car is not an act of negli-
gencc on the part of the companys
employe sufficient to justify damages
to an injured passenger. The court
points out in its ruling that cars are
started normally with more or less
of jerk, and that the passenger
must be prepared against jolts upon
entering In other words, as soon
as the car is entered it is incumbent
upon the passenger to insure against
mishap by securing firm hold upon
railing, strap or other fixed part
of the car Under this interpreta-
ton of the law of negligence it is
certainly incumbent, however, upon
the street car company so to equip
its cars that passengers can be as
sured of suitable hand holds. In

with the tariff in the forefront. The
other is that, important as the busi-
ness issues may be, moral issues will
top them. and bring an expression
from the country of great moment
as to prohibition and votes for
women.
That business has been seriously
shaken the past two years is unde-
niable. All branches of industry
have been depressed. Such was the
case before the war began. The
war, of course, has added to the
tribulations. Naturally, therefore,
business is expecting campaign on
business lines. 1t wants its injuries
redressed. and better chance for
the future. 1t is organizing with
that object in view.
But the advocates OF prohibition
and woman suffrage see much
more than business ahead, and are
organizing to promote their ends.
They lack for neither means nor in
dustry, and are in the deadest
earnest. Even their divisions over
details spur them on to greater ac-
tivity.
The present whirligig in politics
shows nothing more surprising than
the growth of prohibition sentimen,
in the democratic party, and the
growth of woman suffrage senti-
ment in the south. 1t was for long
charge-made aggressively by the
one side, and admitted smilingly by
the other-that Col. John Barley
corn was a democrat. But today
many of the most prominent of the
democratic leaders repudiate the
colonel, and post him as an undesir-
able citizen. Mr.. Bryan, Mr.
Kitchin and Mr.. Hobson are out
spoken against the liquor traffic in
all forms. Mr.. Hobson goes to the
extent of favoring prohibition by ma
tional enactment.
The south was the last of the four
sections of the country to show hos
pitality to the proposition to clothe
women with the power to vote. The
propaganda had made great progress
elsewhere before it had been even
introduced in the south. Since then
however, it has advanced there per-
ceptibly, and under local leadership
Southern women are in charge, and
here and there are winning repre-
sentative southern men to the cause
All things considered-the unpre-
| cedented times and conditions, and
the multiplicity of issues-we are ap-
preaching national campaign incit-
ing to speculation and battling to
prophets. The denomination of Mr.
Wilson is about the only thing in
sight that looks certain; and there
are democrats who deplore that.

Mutton and Lamb
By Kate B. Vaughn

Mutton is the name applied to the
meat of sheep. The best mutton
comes from a heavy animal about
three years old. The flesh should
be of light red and the fat very
hard and white. The meat should
hang from two to three weeks to be
in the best condition. Mutton
ranks with beef in nutritive quali-
ties. The strong odor so objection
able in mutton may be lessened by
removing the pink skin and the
superfiuous fat
Lamb is the name applied to meat
Of young sheep. When killed from
six weeks to three months old it is
known as spring lamb and a pre-
MUM is asked for il. Lamb may
be eaten soon after the animal is
killed. The bones Of lamb are pink.
while those of mutton are white.
Lamb should be well cooked.
PORK.

is made up largely of fat. The
lean OF the hog should be fine
grained and pale red color; the fat
white; the skin clear and smooth.
