make the nations capital "dry" whether it be located in Washington, Milwaukee, Walla Walla, or Perth Amboy. So with this in mind why would,-we' ask this seriously-why would Congressman Cary want to move the nations capital to Mill waukee with the prospects of spoil ing one of the nations greatest thirst resorts? He must remember that the people of the national capital have no voice in shaping their legislation, that they are governed by sometimes. un- grateful Congress, the members of which would perpetrate any deed un- der the sun that would strengthen them politically with the folk back home. Congressman Cary's cOnstit
 uents, when they think this over. will never forgive him if the plan carries. Move the capital to Cumberland, Md, if he must; but preserve our one lingering hOpe-MilWaukee.

Colonel WattcrSOn's Views.
Providence Journal. )

Colonel Henry Watterson gives a correspondent at Miami, Florida, bis views on national politics. They arc at least interesting
 He fOresees, of course, the rcnOm- ination of MT. Wilson and thinks he will be elected if he has not exhausted his luck. Just what that cryptic pro- viso means is question. But the Colonel inclines to think the Wilson preparedness programme will be beaten. '"The President seems over excited" he says; and he attributes the Over-eXcitem to the fact that the presid cntial election is approach ing That to use one of MT. Wilson's own faVOrite expressions, is not "hand- some" Most of the Presidents fel- low-citizens are ready to believe that he has becn honestly converted, as he says. to the cause of adequate national defense.
 The Kentucky editor takes no stock in the talk of 9 Bryan Clark com bina- ton against the President. After what happened at Baltimore in 1912 there can he no reconciliation between the cx-Secretary and the Speaker "Each would have to be made over" he declares,
 The Colonel dismisscs the Hughes talk scornfully. He says:
 No matter who else it may be, it will not be Hughes. This talk about Hughes is mainly chatter. If Fate meant Hughes to be President, Fate would have lifted him bodily from Albany tO Washington. Great judges have always proved isappointing can didates. Hughes is no small bunch of an iceberg himself. The faithful. who heW the nominating wood and haul the campaign water, want their Took in and they can see no promise in those cold. steel-gray eyes of his, not to mention an attending con- science which has shown itself singu- larly unadjustahle.'
 However. a sin gularly unadjustabIc conscience'' is precisely what the rank and file of the Republican party like about MT. Hughes. They think it preferable on the Who1c 10 mere mag nctisn, which the Judge certainly lacks.
 "Marse Henry" is "drawn into the impression that Theodore Roosevelt may be the Republican nominee."

can plan ahead; has good businass judgment. If the crown of his head Is high and round he is absolutely conscientious, too; and if the back of his head is well rounded out he will love his home, his wife and his children, and show them considera- tjon above everything else in the world. The man whose head is flat on top, flat and almost even with his ears in the back and narrow and foreshortened on the front; whose lips are thin, whose eyes are cold, will not make a good husband in apy sense of the word, says Kibby. The lcnger mans jaw bone, the greater his capacity for affection, according to Kibby. All these things are as ap- plicable to women as to men, in the experts opinion.

WHEN THERE'S FIGHTING ITO BE

Alfred Moves, the celebrated iInt5- fish poet, now comes forth with the remarkable utterancc that Gin the event the European war ends in a deadlock and the allies offer terms of peace which the Americans deem just and fair, it will be the duty of the United States toward civilization to enter the war on the side of the al lies.' What ho. Britannia, What ho! Since when has America reached the stage it must take up the battles of all those who have refused to fight fish? Upon reliab ble reports we are informed that on the prin ciple corners of old London town almost any after noon or night thousands of able bodied young men may be seen lOiter- ing their time away, or listening to the rabid speeches of street corner orators, when they should be in the trenches fighting for their country

Nobody feels so sorry for the pathetic victim of the vicious nico-
 tine habit as the victim himself He
 knows how weak and hapIess he is how sadly lacking in character and manhood: he realizes that he is the despise0 of that small part of crea- ton which doesn't or can't smoke, the sorrow of pharisoedonl, the despair of that superior element which, hav- ing not been led into temptation, or possessing that turbulent digestive ap- paratus, has been able tQ hold itself to the poor worms who groveI in the dust and delights of this unspeal~ able indulgence.
 The majority victim of nicotine knows too we'll how always he must he looked down upon by his minority betters. He expects to confront the mo smoking" sign at substantiallv all the places where to smoke would be the clmactic satisfaction. He realizes that he is the ultima thule in undesirabiIity, the ne plus ultra - objcctionableness. He would never be able to reconcile himself but for the cheering consciousness that ha has the inside on a good thing.
 Wherefore it is of national--per- maps or lnLefn1IlODal--imD that right in the capital of the United States, where so much is now spolsep- and written officially of the customs of nations the obligations of civilizo- tion and the rights of humanity. if has been decided officially that inc street railway is within the law vbnn it permits the unfortunate slaves of nicotine to smoke on the rear plat- form.
 There are yet some rights which the smoker may regard as inalien- able. He is still an American citizer even when he lives in the national capital-and may not be inconti nently chucked off the car if his. manners are not such as to appeaI to his weak-nerved betters
 Why not let the deluded victins smoke like that everywhere? Wbv not make the hind platform sa crcd to them in all places. Why not rear 1t as monument. like the niIlar of. salt which stands as testimony tr Mrs, Lots glance over the wrono shoulder?

Husband-Picking Rules for Girls
 Who Propose This Year.
(Waterbury Democrat. )


 1.-Don't propose to a man who has thin lips. He will scorn you. l 2.-Don't propose to a man who i has just a thin upper lip. He will i scOrn you.
 3.-Dont propose to man whose head runs straight up from the back of his neck. He loves neither home nor wife.
 4-Don't propose to a man with a , super critical eye. He'll make you sorry.
 5.-Don't propose to a man who has a restrained, quiet, indifferent manner or a purely selfish disposition.
 6.-PrOpOse to a man who has full, but nOb too full, lips. He will love you.

A good deal of what Kibby says is based upon phrenOlogN. A man who has chin, straight lips, is branded cold blOoded, stony hearted creature upon whom the dearest girls appeal would have no effect. This sort of man will do his own proposing, run lis own wedding and rule his house. hold and hell do it more with his head than his heart.

Weather Warnings.
Bridgeport POst.)


 No matter how Spring like Janu- ary days may be, no wise person will conclude that Winter is over until Feb ruary is wiped off the calendar. For the past ten days we have been enjoying, it would not be fair to say, pleasant weather, but exceptionally warm weather, so much so that yesterday touched the record for January in this section, while in others it was passed.
 But even as We fairly swelter in mercury readings of 65 to the accom- paniment of heavy wraps and Overgar- ments, there is the sign in the West that February, or the approach to it, will not pass without leaving it's Win ter sting.
 When you come to look over the weather map and find the thermome ter reading 60 above in Chicago and then after a travelling a thousand or so miles further West to Havre. Mon tana to read of 54 below zero, break ing all previous low readings for that exceptionally cold spot, you can see that we may yet be forcibly reminded that Winter is not over. There is right in this condition the makings of the most terrific blizzard in the coun- trv's history You cannot get a tre- 
 mendous "mountain" in the air, fO1 that is the way you can describe g "high." and then have it taper of terrifically to the valley of a How without inviting all sorts of pOssibili- ties in the weather line
 We may escape extreme results. The cold wave now lowering over North west Canada and the States on the border may get warmed up some be- fore it reaches this section. But fl is just as well to be ready, for you know not the day nor the hour when blizzard doings may arrive with such remarkable developments of tempera- ture and air pressure as are now in evidence Anyhow, if we get by Feb ruary without disturbing conditions we may then reasonably prepare for "gentle Spring. and so on to 'the good old Summer time.'

GOOD DOCTRINE.

Whether this nation always needs Republican administration of it's af- Ia1rs, as was suggested at the annual .incoln Dinner of the Third Ward Re publican Club last night by Henry D. 11stabrOok is not so much to the point Is the fact that this nation always \ leeds an honest administration of it's zftalrs. And if the affairs of govern knent are ever to be honestly adminis- Eated there must be always two great earties keeping dog watch" on each ther. It is just such affairs as that Aeid last night by the Republican Club pat make, in the long run, for the areater honor and glory of the United Hates. When men, no matter of what Politics, gather and discuss the ways End means of bettering conditions, Sat forth ideas on national subjects, attempt to show where they are right End others are wrong, there can be aa ught but good come out of the hole business. For this enlighten- Dent must be reflected at the polls hen the time comes to make a #aange, or to prevent change. It Nas often been said that no party
 Mould be kept in power too long. \ d there is much truth in the state ' Ant. The election of Lincoln, the Est Republican President, is proof S0sitive of this.

IWACkEE, CAPITAL OF THE
 UNIFIED STATES.

sTt had to come, sooner or later. And 5sterday was the day for it. So, hav- E decided upon the time, and being the proper mood for such a thing, 6ngressman William Joseph Cary I i've give his full name,-of the fourth 6tiict of Wiss sonsin, arose in his ztce on the floor of the House of # #presentatives and introduced a res kItion to the effect that the capital & the United States be transferred 4m Washington to Milwaukee. And 8e Honorable Mir. Cary gives as his Iason the fact that there is certain 8islation pending i'll Congress which 4sy make the District of Columbia <p.y''. Therefore he would waste no &ae in having the nations capital Enoved to territory that has been 6 de famous by the brewing of much Eber colored fluid. Heaven for #!', he eXclaims in horror, when #nemplating that the national capital zy join the ranks of the elect. & firmly believes such a condition Iuld be a menace to society and to zbd government.
 #Iat last, those jOvial spirits who hold \ their hearts d reverence for the Y m on top have secured a cham En. and one not afraid to stand in & arena and throw down his gaunt- \ at the feet of the enemy. Be it #aerstood, the Honorable Willia m #-y, of Milwaukee, is no new conner #Congress. He has served cOntinu- 4Bly since the Sixtieth Congress, #ich makes him member of the # guard. Further. he has the rnpu- of being able and sober and @B no ambition to be President. S8erefore he is not looking for
 3 of principle with him. And his Rstituents belong to that gallant
 3w who since babyhood have known K joy of blowing the foam off their
 8sses. Therefore, thinks he, we X3 move the national capital right
 over to the old home town and j 3e" it, the capital from destruction.
 Fl did Congressman Cary ever figure
 his way: The temperance people
 he nation for some time past have
 n wanting to make the capital the
 Alel city of the nation,-a perfectly
 4labIe desire. They firmly believe
 8t in order to do this the demon
 n must go from out it's portals.
 that token then they will strive to
