Winter Tops Popular.

The winter top, which takes the
place of the regular touring top, and
can be nounted on car in a very
short time, converts the open tour
ing car into a snug limousine at small
expense. For winter use such tops
are coming to be absolute necessities,
since they give all the rough-weather
protection OF the limousine at a small
added cost over the fixed expense OF
operating a touring car.

/, Leaking Of FIanse Joint.

Nothing is more exasperating than
the persistent leaking of a flange joint
on the manifold, where copper is used
for the. gasket. The trouble, however,
nearly always can be remedied by cut
ting a groove around the post with
cold chiscl and another around the
hole in the flange. When the studs
which hold the manifold in place are
drawn up, the gasket is compressed
and partly fills the grooves, sealing
the joint.

The Statue Of Liberty.

The War Departments denial of
the report that the Statue of Liberty
in New York harbor is to be gilded
was hardly necessary, for it was vir-
tually incredible that the government
should put a perishable coat of pre-
cious metal upon bronze figure that
is in its natural color more beautiful
than any extrinsic decoration can
make it. A gilt Statue of Liberty
would be little short of an atrocity,
and 1t is not remarkable that per-
sons of artistic tastes should have
been excited over the report. 1t may
be that the statue has been somewhat
neglected In point of repairs and at
tention to the inner structure, but
nothing should be done to change
the gray-green coat that time, has
given the bronze and that has ac-
CURED distinctive character. At
present the great figure is part Of the
landscape. 1t Is not garish, nor does
it obtrude itself famboyantly. Yet
it cannot be lost or mistaken. It is
always there to welcome both stran-
gers and citizens on their arrival in
port. A gilt Liberty would be too
much like an advertisement. Fortu-
nately good taste prevails sufficiently
to prevent such dissertation.

Passing of Famous Ships.

Two famous ships of the American
navy-that part of the establishment
which is affectionately called the old
navy-have recently been sold as
Junk and committed to the flames
for the recovery of copper and other
metals used in their hu1ls, and which
can be more cheaply secured by burn
ing the hulk than in any other way.
There is something shocking to pa
triotic sentiment in this process, but
efficiency and sentiment are often in
compatible, and where they are so
efficiency has the right of way and
sentiment goes by the board.
A few weeks ago the sloop of war
Portsmouth, which, under command
of Capt. Montgomery, carried the
Stars and Stripes into the bay at San
Francisco, was sold for a trifing sum
and her buyers then had her hauled
to mud fats near Boston and set on
FIRE. The Portsmouth went into the
harbor of San Francisco, Or as the
village was then called, Yerba Buena,
some months ahead of Commodore
John Drake Sloat with his flagship.
the Savannah, and two other ships,
the Cyane and the Levant. Patriotic
efforts were made to save the famous
old craft from a sordid fate, but they
were not sufficiently practical.
A few days ago dispatch from
San Francisco said "a series of
charred, oaken ribs projecting out
of a mud fat in San Francisco bay
was all that remained of the frigate
independence, the oldest ship in the
United States Navy, which was burn
ed for the copper in her hull" In
the news it was said that the career
of the independence began in 1872 !;
that the frigate was Americas first
flagship and carried seventy-four
guns On her three decks. After her
retirement from active service the
independence was stationd at Mare
Island as receiving ship, and three
years ago went out of commission
even in that capacity.

bull mooser under his influence will
vote the democratic ticket next year?
He holds that the domestic policies
of the administration have failed and
injured the country. He instances the
tariff, and attributes business depres-
sion in many lines to the Underwood
revision to the new trust legislation,
and declare sthat big business cannot
be safe and prosperous, or helpful to
the public, until it is operated under
government charter; to the new cur
rency law, and hopes for amend
ments to that. Mr.. Perkins, who was
a republican until 1912, has never in
his life been more strongly anti
democratic than now. 1t is impos-
sible to imagine him a supporter of
Mr.. Wilson, directly for reelection.
Indirectly, of course, Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Perkins are responsible for
Mr.. Wilson's presence in the White
House. They divided the republican
party, and Mr.. Wilson marched to
victory through the divided ranks, In
all probability, it is the realization of
their responsibility that makes both
men so very emphatic now in their
condemnation of the existing order.
How sharper than serpent's tooth,
they think, is thankless administra-
toni Mr.. Wilson owes his Office to
them, and yet has not only not con-
suited them, but actually has gone
contrary to their we'll known views.
Mr.. McCombs is on safe ground,
in predicting that next years
race will be hummer, and that the
winning party will realize that it has
had run for its money.

men that lost the battle. Suffrage
failed because of the women-the ones
that didn't care.
From the Brooklyn Times.
Since more than half a million men

would seem that the suffragists' claim
that a million women wanted the vote
was close to correct.
From the Knoxville Sentinel.
Defeat for the women in three big
states was bit disconcerting, but their
fight was an education-to themselves
as well as the electorate. Every move
ment must have a beginning before VIC

Though some of them fell down
And tore their trousers and their

Their parents did not frown.
Though some of them went walking

And others used a crutch,

But couldn't hurt it much.

lost their lives. They made their
wills the day before sailing on the ILL
fated steamer, and referred to the
possibility of their death, the hus-
band remarking that if they died in
circumstances which made it difficult
to determine precedence it should be
deemed that he predeceased his wife.
! But the husbands declaration may
not govern the court in its decision,
as under the terms of the will in this
instance the fact itself and not the
wishes of one of the testators is to
rule. Yet it would seem reasonable
to accept testimony on this point
where it is impossible to judge as to
the precedence of death. After all,
the court should in all such cases be
governed by the evident desires of
the testators and not by rigid tech
nicalities. So many cases of this kind
have occurred that much litigation,
usually very costly, would be spared
by the establishment of fixed rule
to the effect that in case of virtually
Simultaneous deaths that of the hus-
band Or that of the wife took place
first, according as the equities may
most strongly govern in the deter
mination of the rule. Some courts
have held in these cases that the wife
must be assumed to have died first,
being of physically weaker nature,
while other courts have held that the
husband would naturally assume the
position of greater danger for the
protection of the woman. Thus there
is reason for either rule that which
ever is established it should be def
mite for the sake of promptness of
probate procedure.

Mr.. Bryan and Boiling.

Let u. all keep certain things clear
in our minds. 1t is as a democrat
that Mr.. Bryan challenges the Presi-
dent on the issue of preparedness.
When he left the State Department
he did not leave the democratic party.
He resigned Office in order to be free
to express himself as an individual
about administration policies.
At that time the difference between
himself and the President related to
note to the German government on
the subject of the latter's submarine
warfare. On the subject of prepared
ness they were in agreement. Both
were pacihcists. The President re-
earded all talk about larger army
and navy as academic" He pooh
poohed it. Mr.. Bryan regarded it with
even less respect than that. When he
noticed it at all it was to condemn it
outright.
Since then the President has be-
come convert to preparedness, while
Mr.. Bryan holds his ground, and is
so much opposed to the proposition,
he raps over the knuckles the man
he made President and is the COM
missioned leader of the democratic
party.
Mr.. Bryan, therefore, is making his
fight within the democratic party;
and democrats, in Congress and out,
are confronted with the necessity of
choosing between two democrats, the
one in Office with every claim to
leadership, and the other out of Office
aspiring to lead the leader in this
particular business.
But what will Mr.. Bryan do if the
fight goes against him? Leave the
party? How could he do that in the
light of his record? Democrats who
in 1896, after making the fight against
free silver in the democratic national
convention, bolted, were denounced
by him as traitors; and he forbade
them to return except in sackcloth
and ashes. Some returned, though not
in those habiliments, and some
have never returned. They have
never since voted democratic ticket.
And both in 1900 and 1908 Mr.. Bryan
was opposed for the presidency by
men who until he became the demo-
cratic leader had never cast any
other than a democratic ballot.
Now, according to Mr.. Bryan's own
prescription, if he loses his fight
against the President on prepared
ness or any other issue he must bow
to the decree. If he refuses the
President support he becomes bolt
err; he puts himself in an attitude he
denounced nineteen years ago when
assumed by others at his expense AS
he himself has interpreted party duty,
he must stand to the rack, fodder, or
no fodder.
