THE SINGING PRESIDENT

Col J. H. Haverly, the old-time min strel magnate, years ago conceived the idea of having Mime. Patti for a concert tour under his own direction, and called on her to make contract. She received him most cordially, and the conversation went along swim mingly until they began to talk terms.
 "May ask your terms for fifty nights, Mime. Patti?" said Col. Hav- erly.
 "For concert or opera?" said the singer.
 'For concert"
 -Four thousand dollars night, or $2O0,CO0 for fifty nights, one-half to be deposited upon signing of the con- tract" said Patti, glibly.
 Col. Haverly swallowed with diff culty two or three times, and then managed to speak.
 Two hundred thousand for fifty nights!" he exclaimed. Heavens, Madame That is just four times what we pay the president of the United States!"
 Well" said Patti, "why don't you get the president to sing for you ?"-- Wall Street Journal.

WITH THE EDITORS
WHY MIR. TAFT is WELCOME

minneapolis gives cordial greeting to William
Howard Taft. It's citizens respect him for himself
rs well as for the great office he once held. They
have real affection for him as man and high
esteem for him as citizen and patriot. ..
This generous-heartcd community never has
forgotten how good loser Mr. Taft was six years
ago. II liked his craftsmanship in defeat. II re-
calls that the familiar smile never came off and
that he had no harsh words then or since for any
man who opposed him for second term as presi-
dent
MIR. Taft is smiling still, but behind tho smile
is always the serious, high purpose to serve the
right and the truth as he sees it. He has no
malice in his heart today--not even against the
Hun whose iniquites he has denounced so force
fully-but there is in that heart desire that the
Hun shall be made truly sorry by stern punish
ment for his transgressons and that from the war
shall flow to the ends of the earth the waters Of
justice.
AS progenitor of the project of league of ma
tions to enforce peace Mr.. Taft is just now one Of
the outstanding figures Of America whose voice.
though that of private citizen is listened to with
respect In Europe and the Orient. He Is here now
to promote that idea and whether our citizens
agree with or dissent from him. they all are in
terested in his exposition Of the subject. They
know the sincerity of his purpose. and they have
been pleased to note how we'll in recent weeks he
has shown the courage Of his convictions Min

THE MOSSEACKS

Again the woman suffrage amendment resOlu-
ton has been defeated in the senate by narrow
margin, ana the majority party in the senate has
assumed fearful responsibility in denying 10 the
states the right 10 pass on the proposed amend
ment.
Eighteen democrats killed the amendment, and
one OF them would have saved IT,
Woman suffrage, the recognition Of wo,nen's
equality with men, has come almost everywhere
except inthe United States, even Germany in the
process Of its reorganization giving It's women full
rights to craftsmanship. |
OF all the countries in which woman suffrage
was thought impossible five years ago, Great
britain, perhaps, stood first and yet in the recent
elections not only did British women participate
on an equality with British men, but one Of their
number was elected to parliament
The righteousness and Justice of the principle
of woman suffrage seems to have sunk deeply into
the heart and conscience of the whole world but
few mossbacks in the United States senate still
stand out against it, and for their stubb -
their party must pay!
