Living Wage in Paris se75 a Year.

AS the absolute minimum for main
tanning man and wife in Paris under
the present cost of living, 1915 a year
is the estimate made after detailed
investigation by the socialist newspa-
per LOeuvre. This allows for the
smallest quantity of food capable of
keeping them in health and permits of
no extra expenses, such as use of
tubes, omnibuses, the purchase of
newspapers, pleasures, or even the re-
placement of worn-out household ar
ticles. The possibility of obtaining
supplies at figures so low as those
taken is, however. disputed.

LEFT TO THE IMAGINATION
Thackeray's Question as to "Never
Was" Speech Would Seem an
Easy One to Answer.

The two great English nOvelists.
Thackeray and Dickens, although
there was at one time GOODNESS be-
tween them, were generous admirers
of each others genius. They left odi-
GUS comparisons to foolish and petty
partisans, of whom there were plenty
in the following of each. But Thack-
cray, according 20 an anecdOte recent
ly related, once admitted to his Ameri-
can friend, the eloquent Congressman
Lamar, little touch of pique concern
ing the public estimation of his own
ability and that of Dickens in minor
art. The two were driving together to
banquet of the Literary fund, at
which Dickens, who was an admirable
after-dinner orator, was 70 preside.
Lamar" said Thackeray, "they say
1 can't speak. But if I want to, can
speak every bit as well as Dickens,
and I'm going to show you tonight
that I can speak almost as well as you
cant"
But when the moment arrived in the
course of the proceedings at which to
make good his assertion, it came, and
passed; and Thacxeray uttered never
a word. When the banquet was over
and the friends were returning, both
silent, in their cab, Thackeray turned
suddenly to his companion.
Lamar" he exclaimed, don't you
think you have heard tonight the

tended that the statute could not be

G. H. BELTS IS TO
RUN FOR ASSEMBLY
Wayne County Editor Backed
by Drys, Who Formerly
Scalped Him.

Charles II. Belts, for years the Re-
publican leader of Wayne county, is go
ing to the Assembly. That is, he has
announced that he viii be a candidate
for the nomination OF his party in the
primaries. That Is equivalent to noini-
nation, and within the memory of man
Wayne county has sent only Republic
cans to the Legislature.
One of the interesting things about
his candidacy Is that although in past
years William II. Anderson. State super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League, has
camped on his trail, the league now has
taken him into the fold and has issued
statement placing him on the pre-
ferred list He has answered questions
In regard to his attitude on prohibition
enforcement IN n satisfactory manner.
and the drys will indorse him formally
unless his Democratic opponent should
do the same. In that case the rules OF
the organization would necessitate it's
remaining neutral.
A member of the Republican State
Committee for several years and a lead
ing member of the Republican Editorial
Association, Mr.. Belts is well known In
the Republican State organization. A
year ago the Anti-Saloon League took
the attitude that whatever differences II
had had with legislators or other po-
litical opponents in the past, the slate
would be wiped clean with the passage
of the Eighteenth Amendment to the
Federal Constitution and a new record
would be started. Writing to the league
Mr.. Belts has said
II hold that any member of the Legis-
lature who takes the constitutional oath
Of ONCE with any mental reservations to
either nullify or evade the Eighteenth
Federal Amendment commits at heart
treason to the Constitution, and IL he
acts on that mental reservation he be-
comes a traitor to the Constitution"

HEARST HAS PLAN
ON SURROGATESHIP
Proposes Tammany Name
James A. DOnegan for Post
Senator Foley Seeks.

Busy little lieutenants of william
Randolph Hearst, always keen to take
advantage of any political situation that
might bring advantage to any Of the
old followers of the Independence League
standard, have put another proposition
before Charles +. Murphy, 1t was re-
ported yesterday.
1t Is that Tammany name for Surro-
gate James A. Donegan instead OF Sem
ator James A. Foley. one OF the Tam
many faithful. who has been slated for
this plum for some time. limitations
have been made to Mr.. Murphy, 1t is
said. that the wrath of Mr. Hearst,
which has ben exhibited against Gov.
Smith and Justice Robert L. Luce since
the latter's appointment to the Supreme
Court bench, might be appeased IL he
would nominate M. Donegan for Surro-
gate and renominate James A. Allen.
Mr.. Donegan was elected Register of
New York county in 1917 ON the So
called Tammany fusion ticket. His term
does not expire until December 81, 1891.
The Hearst men have pointed out that II
Mr.. Donegan was placed in the Office Of
Surrogate at $17,500 a year Gov. Smith
would have the opportunity of appointing
a Register at $4,000 year to serve for
more than year.
1t was not thought likely last night
that Tammany Hall would yield to these
Hearst arguments, although accompanied
by vague suggestions of. full Hearst
ticket in case the Hearst programme
were not accepted. Tarnmany is particu-
larly interested in electing Justice Luce
TO the Supreme Court. 1t cannot see
how Mr.. Hearst could effectively take
back all that he has said about Justice
Luce and turn about and support him.
1t expresses little fear of the suggested
third ticket and believes it can elect all
Its nominees in spite of Mr.. Hearst, with
the possible exception of Justice Luce.
Unless there is further postponement
to iron out the situation the Tammany
executive committee will meet at noon
tomorrow to decide on the slate.
