Ruth McEnery Stuart, who died Sun

group of southern writer's who culti-
waited the negro dialect in prose and
verse so assiduously and successfully
in the SOS OF the last century. That
was its Towering time, and Mrs.
Stuart quickly made reputation after
the appearance in 1883 of her first
story, Uncle Mingo's Speculation ;"
A native of Louisiana. and educated In
New Orleans. she knew the south in

her life was spent in New York. Her
notation of dialect is remarkably &C
curate and lfelike as well. which is
not quite the same thing, for dialect
is even more a matter OF psychology
than of phonetics. She worked slow
ly and carefully and her entire pro-
duction was not large for the indus

Mail Blow to Business.


Des Moines Capital: The congress
of the United States is surely hitting
the publishing business pretty hard.
The newspaper postage rate, such
mail being called second class. is to
be regulated on the zone system.
Newspapers, magazines, etc, at the
present time pay one cent per pound,
without regard to distance. The new
rate will be two cents per pound for
the first zone, adding one cent per
pound for each zone up to the sixth.
This sounds very simple, but it will

ENDLESS VARIETY

Until Colorado was discovered as

Americans went abroad every year in
search of new thrills. Now they go to
Colorado and get more variety OF

An almost endless procession OF
trips, jaunts, out-ofdoor excursions
and amusements are to be had daily
at practically little or no extra cost.

POLITICS TAKES A VACATION

Entrance Of the United States into the world
war has transformed American politics almost
completely. Of course, political organizations
will be held intact while the war lasts. But
there has been, thus far, virtually no drawing
Of party lines in any action by congress or in
discussions of war issues among the people.
Perhaps at no time in American history has
there been such a marked submergence Of no
litical distinctions among Americans. There is
but one classification that stands foremost to-
day, iii and out of congress-throughout all
the land-patriotic Americans. Partisan lines
of cleavage are forgotten, as they should be, in
such crises as this
1t IS well to appraise political partisanshir
at its real worth. It has intrinsic value IL

with domestic issues, about which there is hon
est difference Of opinion and Judgment anon.

that patriotism means discrimination against
