THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS

| One of the most remarkable cases in the history of American criminal jurisprudence - the famous "Star Route" trials-is recalled by the fact that to-day marks the tcentenary of the birth of Benjamin Harris Brews- ter, who was Attorney-General of the United States in the early, '9O's and was in charge of the prosecution of those accused of c0nspiring to de- fraud the government in connection with mail carrying contracts. Brew ster was born in Salem County, N. J., Oct. 13, 1916, graduated from Prince ton, a3d became Attorney General of Pennsylvania in 1867 and of the Unit ed States in 1881. In the proseou- ton of the alleged conspirators Brew Tster was opposed by Col. Robert G. In- gersoll and other able lawyers, while he himself had the assistance of some of the best legal talent in the country. The first trial, which resulted in a mixed verdict,'' which was set aside. The second trial, which lasted over six months, resulted in the acquittal of the defendants. Brewster was a lawyer of great ability, but in elo- quence he could not compete with the

TODAY'S POEM
THE OLD DREAM.

We call it dream, the life that is. A something that was Long Ago. We watched the days agleam with light,
 And saw the sunsets fickle glow. We wandered in the old-time ways, That led us through the rosy lands; We saw the clouds in pageants loom, And linn their gold on amber
 strands. And we shall dream the love-dream
 OCT, And see again Fate's magic scroll, Resplendent with Life's hopes and
 fears, . Its treasures to our gaze unroll- Thus dawned the days, when hand Together ah hrnathl through tie world we
 fared; We only knew that life was sweet, And nought for other solace cared. The years have flown, yet oft I long In tender comradeship to live The days that knew no perished
 dream,
 And had so much of life to give. But now. the old, sweet visions fade, Dimmed in the stress of vanished
 years; Fade like an echo from the days That knew but dreams and never

 A CHANCE, SAYS
 NOTED PUBLICIST
Walter Lippmann Fears Chaos If Hughes Should
 Cst Presidential Place.

"The Case for Wilson" is the title of an article by Walter Lippmann. Ed itor of "The New Republic" in a sign ed article appearing in that magazine tomorrow.
 The writer reviews the records of President Wilson and MT. Hughes and contrasts the campaigns being con ducted in their behalf. He\concludes his article with the following strik- ing paragraphs, which constitute a forceful appeal for the continuation of Woodrow Wilson in office:
 "Mr. Hughes on his campaign and the Republican party on it's record do not deserve to win. Firmness-firm- ness, indeed. Is it firmness that char acterized MT. Hughes at Milwaukee? Vacillation-whato of California? Good men in office-what of the men who surround MT. Hughes today? Inept- is it possible to equal his treatment of Governor Johnson? Is there either courage or wisdom in MT. Hughes's campaign? Has he faced any issue but the eight-hour law? Has he said one word about international affairs that shows a Aint of statesmanship Has he said anything about the tar if which Mckinley wouldn't have said, or about labor to which MT. Taft wouldn't assent?
 Why then are we called to make the change, to defeat man who has grown, who has mastered his party and recast his beliefs? There ought to be some very good reason for mak- ing a change now. Defeat MT. Will son in November; from November to March ne nation on earth will know what our policy is. If MT. Hughes takes office in March two or three months will be consumed in displacing Democrats and at least six in teaching MT. Hughes the problems of his office. Those months are likely to be the most crucial months of our time, for in those months the settlement will be formulated. "A change of government ought to take place only if there is a sharp necessity and real alternative. The necessity may exist, but the ~al.- formative doesn't, No human being, probably not even MT. Hughes him self, knows how he would alter the policy of the nation. It would be, mere restlessness to make the change.
 "Mr. Hughes was nominated in the dark. but he ought not to be elected in the dark. not today, not in these difficult times"

|,WOaaAh DOCTOR ]. SCORES CHANGE
 IN STATELAWS
Kate Walter Barrett Criti- cises Characterization of
 Civil Service Rules.

''The manner in which the state civ il service law has been emasculated by your legislature is a disgrace to progress and good government"
 r It doesn't matter how good the present office holders of the state are, even if they are competent, there is no assurance that their successors will be competept and capable and the Jof- fees of the state are open to every political. influence.
 eff the state wants to secure most efficient and well equipped officers it should put all offices strictly under ci- vii service and not amend the law so that certain appointments can be made without examination and others by examination, as I understand your state civil service board has done in the case of appointees to the Soldiers home at Noroton. and in other in- stances Dr. Kate Waller Barrett of Alexandria, Va, thus forcibly express ed herself regarding changes in the civil service law in this state, in New Haven, where she made an address to women interested in establishing a branch of the Federal employment in this state. Mrs. Barrett is former chairman of the civil service commit tee of the State Federation of Wom- chs club, of Virginia, president of the national council of women and presi- dent of the national Florence Critten- ton mission. She is special >investiga- tor for the department of labor in it's plan to federalize employment bureaus throughout the country for the benefit of the>working women. Naturally she finds that lax civil service laws of the state are obstacle to her pur- pose, for the federal government, strict in it's adherence to civil service laws, could not work easily with the state which has easy civil service laws.
 Those who complain" said Mrs. Bartlett, ''that practicable workers cannot be secured through civil ser vice do not understand the correct operation of the civil service laws. Practicable workers can be secured by practicable tests, and surely you would not expect to apply the same test to a cook for one of your insti- tutions as for the executive head of the institution. Civil service tests of- fer the possibility of getting workers in the practicable and theoretical field. The cure for the evils of civil service is more civil service. and I am oppos- ed to any party which tampers with civil service laws"

WOMEN WHO TOLL NOT.

Love wakes and weeps
 ! While Beauty sleeps.
 Oh for music's softest numbers To prompt a theme
 For Beautys dream
 | Soft as the pillow of her slumbers!" | A woman writes me in all serious
 ness asking which are the best loved the women who toll not-pretty dolls that fascinate men-or the earnest wo-
 men who believe that they should ac-
 complish some good in life? Is wo-
 man less lovable to man if, instead
 of rose-leaved palms and polished fin
 ger tips, her hands show signs of lnomely homework? Do men only like
 the women whose one thought is Of
 pleasure instead of those who must plan anxiously to keep a roof over their family and their children neat, thu giving him something else to con- verse about than idle f1ippancy? Such questions as these cannot be answered offhand. The heart of one man cannot be judged by the hearts of twenty others. One may be domes- ticated while the other nineteen would not be tied down to home life though they. married earthly angels, One man is all devotion to the little family that comes to him while the man who has no affection for offspring counts them as troubles he cannot avoid"
 I am happy to say that the latter are few and far between. The coming of children changes the majority of mems natures completely. Love and sentimental whisperings men enjoy for a time but-they are sure to weary of 1t sooner or later. The time comes when they year11>for companionable mate, tone who can console them if business goes wrong, aye. or who can advise them. The best of men are apt to err in their judgment when hedged in by business difficulties.
 It is no credit to a woman to do nothing more than to play the piano, entertain weekend guests, make a good appearance at theatre and ball and ride round in her automobile. She is the kind of wife who will fade quick ly if her husband has business re- verses. Instead of being doli in the parlor, she is obliged to be the woman of all work in the kitchen. The wo- man who tolls not soon becomes fab by, over-stout for want of exercise and with the habit of having her choc- olate brought to her bedside. With the waning of her good looks, she be- comes more irritable. Nothing looks well on her. With the ebbing away of CT powers to attract, she loses the ad- miration and affection which were built on such foundation.

Cookies.

Small cookies, maccaroons, biscuits, and so on, will bake more successful Iy in shallow pans than in deep tins, for in the latter case the heat does not readily get to the-to of the dough and the cakes or biscuits are likely to burn on the bottom while the top is browning. The paper test should be used for all these cakes and cookies. and, while the time required for the browning of the paper varies in diff ferent ovens, eight minutes is an av- craze length of tune when the oven is being heated with the full force of gas.
