The Handsome Way to Do 1t

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
That was a handsome thing which
the friends of Hon. George Ward,
whom he has SO faithfully served dur
ing his terms as the executive Of the
city, did for him yesterday That is
the way to do it, and was what the
law meant to be done when it pro
vided for at least POO electors to petition
for the name to be put on the ballot
as candidate 1t meant for the
candidate to be called out to stand
for election; and that he should
not volunteer to run solely on his own
initiative. 1t is well that these gen
tlemen have shown the rest of us the
way to make a good selection from
which the electorate may make its

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, August 11.-Some further
showers are reported through private
sources in northern Texas, and there are
also reports Of light showers in central
Texas, where rain is needed Through
the remainder of the cotton belt the
Weather is most fla orable for the devel-
opment of the crop This seems to be
one OF the lew years in the memory o.
the cotton trade when the crop was inn
proving in what is practically the middle
of August. Probably, it is the fact which
has caused the leading local bulls to
liqudate their holdings during the past
few days. Today's decline was due to
the weather, the official restriction OF
consumption of cotton in England. and
the liquidation by some Wall street
houses Of cotton bought earlier in the
week.

New York, August 1.-THE republic

choice. This has all the benefits OF
political parties without many of the
evils which attend them; for any 200
electors may at any election become
political party for that election.
Now let the rest of the interests and
persons, not represented by Mr.. Ward
and his friends, do likewise, until
the ticket is made out with candi-
dates of every shade of opinion and
policy of municipal administration to
be presented to the voters in the com
ing municipal election. We are going
to learn how to do this thing If we
keep on trying. and here is the OPP
portnnity to learn one of its most
important lessons.

VOICE OF BERLIN

For a generation the voice of Berlin
has been omnipotent in Constantinople.
At the very moment the troops of Ger
many and Turkey We're fighting side by
side Is it not clear, therefore, that Ber-
lin had only to say a word and the
massacres would not have begun, and
even if they had begun, would not a
word have brought them to an imme-
date end? For these reas sons l feel en-
titled to say that the guilt of these hid
eous ma ssacres lies at the door of the
German as we'll as of the Turkish au-
thorities. If I needed further proof of this
fact | would point to the action of the
representatives of Germany; to Wangen
helm, refusing your ambassador, Mr. Nor
genthaus appeal for intervention; tc
Count Bernstorffs attempt at Washing
ton to deny the massacre; to the state
ment of Bethmann- Hollweg, Zimmerman
and other German officials in Berlin,
which, If they did not justify, at least ex-
tenuated this horrible gigantic unsur-
passed crime against humanity.

THE RETURN OF
THE BUSTLE.

The Fashion Art League, now in SEES

hustle shortly will be restored to its
olden place of honor in the esteem OF
the capricious sex.
This is good news Tor the few pro-
fessional humorists who have survived
the long lean years of popular indif-
ference to any wit save that of the
slapstick. Women's clothes always
have served these funny men as a
fruitful subject for satire and raillery
and they gladly will welcome any
change from the present sensible, com
Portable and attractive fashions. The
revival of the hustle is reactionary
movement of enormous possibilities
and one that throws open broad av-
enue of speculative thought. Let that
movement go further back into the
past and it is likely to resurrect the
