AFTER DINNER POLITICS.
Some Disappointed Candidates.
By DIR. Z. J. EDWARDS.

Thurlow Weed told me one evening as
was chatting with him in his house
near Washington Square, New York City.
in 1871, that no man who was prominent
as a candidate for the Presidential nom
ination was ever so badGered, annoyed.
embarrassed. and disturbed as was Gen.
Scott a year prior to the whig conven-
ton OF 1852.
I'm 1851" said Mr.. Weed, "the two
Wings Who were prominently Identified
with the Presidential nomination of the
following year were Daniel Webster and
Henry Clay. For my part, I did not be-
lieve either would be nominated. although
the reason for the failure to nominate
either one OF them was different. Vast

best-known Of Americana as he was
termed in Europe-nevertheIess he was

in 1882, Webster would be seventy years

"On the other hand, II It had not been
for one reason Clay would have been the
inevitable candidate for the nomination.
He was what Webster never was-a
splendid vote getter. He lost the cleo
tion for the Presidency in 1872, it is true,
because there was a little abolition party
in New York which gave Just enough
votes to James G Burney for President
to make it possible for Polk to secure a
small plurality in New York. The reason
why Clay was not available as a Presi-
Genital candidate in 1852 was because Of
his age and his noticeable impairment Of
health. He would have been seventy-slx
years Of age, and We all felt that it was
very doubtful II he lived long enough
even though he were nominated and

According to a report which Secretary OF
War Baker recently submitted to Congress- about
10000 National Guardsmen now are in the Fed
eral service on the Mexican border and in State
mobilization camps. President Wilson and Sec
retary Baker have denied that these men taken
from civil employment at a considerable economic
loss to American industry, at a huge financial
cost to the nation, and at great individual sacri
fee, have been called out for war. President
Wilson and Secretary Baker also have denied that
the men have been called out merely for training
purposes. The President says they "are perform
ing a patriotic duty" The Secretary of War says
that they are performing valuable service, and
the fact that this service is being performed with
out active military operations entang loss of life
to soldiers is cause of congratulation and
happiness"

Mr.. Hughes has charged President Wilson
with betraying the cause Of arbitration in the
railway controversy. There is one phase Of the
railroad quarrel which seems to have been over
looked by large section of the press 1t is
that the railroads not only offered to submit their
controversy with their employees to arbitration
but that they further offered to segregate, sub
ject to the disposition of the arbitrators, the
entire amount Of excess wages which they would
have earned under the schedule they demanded
over the schedule now in operation so that in
the event Of decision granting the demands OF
the brotherhoods, or any part of them, the funds
would have been ready to pay them on order OF
the arbitrators and without any further action bv
the railroads. AS the law which Mr.. Wilson
caused to be enacted makes no difference in the
hours the men work it is easy to understand how
Mr.. Wilson's course in insisting that the roads
grant the eight-hour wage basis without either
investigation or arbitration may be construed as
a betrayal Of the principle of arbitration

Nobody fully realized the scandals of the in

=, The German government has been bitterly
disappointed, at various crises of the war, at the
inability OF the German-Americans to control
the United States government to the military
advantage of Germany. 1t cannot explain at
this time that German sympathizers in the United
States have failed to exert themselves to the
utmost The German drive against President
Wilson has become important as any single
military campaign, and it is prosecuted by the
German propaganda in this country with an
energy OF purpose that could hardly be surpassed.

that Mr.. Hughes election would be a German
triumph OF the first magnitude. Multitudes of
two years for services of far less value to the
empire.-New York Herald

UNIFORM COLOR is DESIRED
coIoring Should Be Added Just Before
Churning Begins-Overckurning
Is Undesirable.

A uniform color In the butter from
one season to the other is desirable,
hence during the winter when the
cows are getting dry feed little col
oring should be added. Too much col
oring, however, is very undesirable.
When coloring is used it should be
added just before the churning begins.
Stopping the churn at the proper
time has much to do with the quality
of the butter. 1t should be stopped
when the butter is in the form of
granules about the size OF kernel of
wheat or a trif1e larger. When the
butter is churned to too small gran
ules many of them will go through the
buttermilk Strainer and will cause
more or less loss. Overchurning is I'M
desirable because the butter will retain
considerable buttermilk, which is diff
cult to remove and which also tends to
cause the butter to deteriorate faster.
AS soon as the churning has been COM
pleted, the buttermilk should be drawn
off.

"They sold me like a slave" said
Iris Speaker, the poor slave of base
ball, when the Boston Red Sox sold
him to the Cleveland Indians for the
piffling price of $4,000, with a couple
of players thrown in for good measure.
Speaker wouldn't sign with Boston for
$1,000 a season. He is reported TO be
getting $4,000 at Cleveland.
"What do the players do with their
money!" They invest it, they buy
good clothes with it; those without
business interests find plenty of time
to spend it for entertainment during
the winter months, and then of course
there is the ''missus." Many of the
players are married and so have the
problem of getting rid of their coin
solved for them.
Ty Cobb, the Georgia peach, who
has been dragging down a fat stipend
from Detroit for ten years, owns so
much property at Augusta, Ga, that
soon he will be between the devil and
the deep blue sea. He won't know
to play or stay home and
tend to his knitting. But Cobb likes
the game as well as the salary and
