REPUBLICANISM

1t is a matter of interrogation, es-
pecially among the younger voters, as
to what constitutes the doctrines OF
Republicanism.
Thomas B. Reed, one of the party's
most eminent members and among the
greatest, if not the greatest exponent
of it's doctrines, in speech made in
1896, laid down what he considered
the fundamental principles of Repub-
licanism. In our opinion it was the
best exposition ever made. He saio
substantially:
The Republican party stands for
full protection of all the right of Am
erican citizens, native or naturalized,
whatever his station in life may be, in
any and every part Of the world, to
the extent of every dollar of the ma
tons resources and every man sub
ject to military duty.
For the Monroe Doctrine" and all
the responsibilities that it entails.
For the equality of all men and ev-
cry industry before the law.
For the widest Individual liberty so
long as it does not conflict with the
rights of any other individual.
For the right of every legal voter to
cast one ballot, in both the primary
and general elections, under uniform
regulations, and have that ballot fair
ly and honestly counted and registered
in the election results.
For a universal gold monetary
standard.
For the protection of the American
producer to the extent, at least, of the
difference between home and foreign
production, and for international re-
ciprocity in non-competing products.
For the same careful management
of public business that is accorded
private business.
For the support and upbuilding of
public buildings and public improve
ments where they will return to the
public reasonable rate of interest on
the amount invested.
For an equal representation of ev-
cry part of the country in every
branch of the government service.
This is Republicanism, anything less
is not; anything more is faddism.

HINTS OF PRACTICAL VALUE
Proper Ingredients for Crust of Pie
Easy Method of Opening
Glass Fruit Jars.

1t will aid the young h~ousekeeper
to know just what to use to make
crust for n pie. Here is a reliable
recipe:
Take n generous half-pint of pas
try flour, one generous tablespoonful
of shortening, half a teaspoonful of
salt, half a teaspoonful of baking
powder. Sift the dry ingredients, rub
in the shortening, moisten with cold
water only sufficiently to roll out;
wet pie crust is never crisp; a quarter
of a cupful Of water should be ample.
Roll thin.
Pie crust should be rolled in one
direction-away from you.
Do not put meat directly on the ice;
it draws the flavor and spoils it.
A cloth moistened with alcohol is
effectual in cleaning piano keys.
Place tiny cantor flannel disks or
soft doilies between your decorated
plates when not in use, as a protec-
ton.
1t is easy to open glass fruit jars
without the aid of a knife if a hot
stove plate is put on top and allowed
to remain for three minutes; this will
allow the lid to be easily unscrewed
and not injure it.

LOOKING at Home.

Recently a band of sociological ex-
plorers discovered an odd little dis
trict that needed attention. Its popu-
lation of some $500 souls was mostly
foreign born. Newly landed immi-
grants fioated into it and we're con-
siderably exploited by alleged guides
and other dubious aids to the mex
~perienced. Most of the working in
habitants we're employed as p~orters,
longshoremen, scrubwomen, and In
like unskilled, poorly paid trades. A
single block yielded 65 cases of tuber-
culosis in a year. This sociological
find is on the lower end of Manhattan
island, walled in by the s~kyscrapers
of the financial district, from which
the mountain heads of much organized
philanthropy might have tossed a bis
cult into it If it had occurred to them
to look that way. About nine times

In the following year Beatty took a
rest and married. His bride was Mrs.
Ethel Tree, daughter of the late Mar
shall Field, the Chicago merchant.
They have lived very happily together
and have two young sons, one of whom
is designed to enter the navy.
From 1901 to 1914 Beatty did not
see fighting. In 1904 he was stationed
in command of the Diana in the Med
iterranean, and in 1905 he commenced
a spell of work on land. For two years
he acted as naval adviser to the army
council. Then he became aide-de-camp
to King Edward, with whom he was
extremely popular. Finally he became
naval secretary to the first lord of the
admiralty, after which he got to sea
again, taking over the command of the
Aboukir.
When the war came Beatty, who had
just been ~knighted, was sen out to do
or die as commander of the first battle
cruiser squadron, his flagship being
the Lion. A few weeks later he won
the battle of Helgoland blight, sinking
five German vessels and about nine
hundred men, at a total British loss of
80 killed and wounded. Later he led
the pursuing squadron which scourged
the German feet that attempted to re-
peat the bombardment of the east
coast; sank the Bluecher and inflicted
serious losses on other German ships.

MAKES BEST IRONING BOARD
Housewife Tells Tow Useful Appur
enanc for the Kitchen May
Be Constructed.

The most rigid ironing board | ever
used a carpenter made for me out of
thoroughly seasoned oak, one and one
quarter inches thick, smooth and free
from knots.
The length of the board was FIVE
feet; the width at widest point, 16
inches, which tapered to eight inches,
then rounded off.
On the under side of the board were
fastened two braces or cleats of wood,
three-quarters of an inch in thickness
and three inches in width.
One of the braces was made flush
with the widest end of the board
the front brace, two feet three inches
from the wide braces, supported :
tongue that reached the back and rest
ed on the floor against the base
board.
Fastened to the brace on the wide
end of the ironing board were two
sections of a pair of loose joint
hinges, so fastened that they would
fit into the remaining part of the hinge
that had been previously made fast to
the window sill.
This enabled me to couple my IRON
ing board to the window sill. The
tongue that supported the front of the
ironing board was made fast to the
elect by a strap hinge.
When not in use the board was cas-
lily removed, the tongue placed against
the board, then placed behind a door
or in a closet. When in use l simply
had ironing board perfection, because
the window flooded with light the
work l was doing and the article be-
ing ironed seemed to be on a founda-
ton as solid as the floor, while the
construction of the device allowed one
to iron any garment on it without mus
sing.
Any ironing board can be fixed in
the same way by adding a cleat and
tongue.-Exchange.

Highways Protective society, is deserv-

liable property. Nails and spikes
driven into their trunks invite decay,
and the signs, besides being offensive
to the eye, afford refuge for insect
