mating third parties from the ballots.
1t is on account of the paper shortage
and the high cost of setting printers
ems. So many very impossible people
with an overwhelming sense of per-
sonal Importance have tried to get
their names into print at the public
expense. This does not occur in either
of the major parties, where simple
merit invariably wins nomination and
the landed and other privileged inter-
ests are kept discreetly in the back
ground. When it is found that the
present onerous conditions can be met
and overcome by any new party it will
be simple matter to place new diff
culties in the way of disturbing po-
litical elements by amendments to the
existing laws. 1t is a great thing to
have most of the votes.

Thoughts Of Today
The Maine Question.

Work it any way you will, the Re-

akin to the Prohibitionists. Once upon
a time a Republican agreed with Pro-

Prohibitionist as you are, but vote
the Republican ticket" The Prohibi-
zionist replied, Il am just as good a
Republican as you are, but 1 vote the
Prohibitionist ticket" And this sums
up the popular idea of the relations
between the two parties. Now, Maine
is the home state of Prohibition. Our
Democratic friends of New Jersey car
ried the state ON "liberal, personal
freedom" ticket for Edwards. Can you

A Social Event.

The experiment now being tried out
in Italy of the running of industries by
labor unions will be well worth follow
ing. 1t is an example of the body cut
ting out the brain so as TO free itself
from the brain control. You will see
an attempt to restore the original brain
or some other at later period. Will
they get a better one than they have
lost? Doesn't that depend a good deal
on the KIND of brain they remove and
the kind they substitute? The minds
of these people are so intent on the
PRODUCTS of capital and labor that
they overlook the SOURCE from which
all the product comes. They think that
by overthrowing the Capitalists" that
they have solved the land question. If
these labor unions don't pay the rest
of the community for the use of the
land and its natural riches they appro-
pirate to their own benefit the rest of
the community will have been wronged.
They are too Shortsighted to see that.

They Saw. and Do Not.

We have lots of single takers in Of
flee, but did you ever hear one of them
mention the single tax? They dare
not. They were elected as Democrats
or as Republicans in order to cater to
the single tax voters, and we followed
them into the oubliette blindly. For
instance, who knows that Louis f. Post
WAS single taxer before he became
assistant secretary of labor? "a single
taxer is one who does something for
the single tax" said William 7. Croas-
dale. Therefore one who does some
thing for the Republican or the Demo-
cratic party must be Republican or a
Democrat, as the case may be. He
can't be single taxer too. Take George
L. Record. He says he is a single tax
err but he tried to drive all reference
thereto out of the 4S convention at
Chicago. He favors the tariffs, federal
income tax, etc. Just like man claim
ing to be a bachelor with a wife and

After the luncheon the plans of the

Ink from his pen into the face of a

chief resort of Cromwell. His rasn
and boisterous behavior early es-
tranged him from his equals and he
came TO associate with class beneath
him. For he could brook no interior
ence or contradiction. The matter of
the score at the inns where he
caroused concerned him very little |;
the bills frequently went unpaid and
he became extremely unpopular with
the alewives of Huntingdon who. when
they saw him coming. would lock the
doors TO keep out the noisy bully. So
oliver turned out to be wild and dis
sipated youth. The same incorrigible
spirit ran throughout his life. 1t led
him to encourage his soldiers to play
practical jokes upon each other, such
as putting hot Goals In the other fell

MARKED PROGRESS OF RACE
Much Significance in What Might Be
Called the Division Of Chinese
Shoe Periods.

Chinese shoes may generally be
divided into two periods-the bound
feet period and the natural-feet period
according to an article by Miss Yen
Wei Using. During the former period
the women were secluded and their
chief business was embroidery, even
their shoes being deliberately embroid-
cred. Each shoe consisted of two
pieces, at the border of which mar
row strip of silk was sewed so as to
make smooth edge. The two pieces
were sewed together at the pointed
end with several fine cross stitches. A
wooden block about one-third inch
thick served as the heel of the shoe,
the wooden block being wrapped in
several layers of cloth.
Later the small shoes with the tiny
soles became fashionable. This kind
of shoe also consisted of two pieces,
with a silk cord at the juncture, to
prevent the seam from being seen.
When the Manchus became the ruling
class of China, women were released
from seclusion in the more progressive
homes and their chief interest was no
longer embroidery. They had no time
to pay much attention to their shoes,
and they stopped binding their feet
and entered into the natural-feet Pc
riod with the Manchus.

Acid Test of Warrior.

Among the Mundurucus, a tribe of
the upper Amazon. no youth is con-
sidered to have attained the dignity
of manhood until he has endured the
"ordeal of the gloves" In that coun-
try there is a kind of ant, as big as
wasp and quite as venomOus; likewise
another species, known as the "fire
ant" whose bite feels like red-hot
needle piercing the flesh, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. Two bamboo
tubes are closed at one end and into
each of them a number of these poi
sonous ants are put. Then the tubes,
called "gloves" by courtesy, are tied
upon the arms Of the young man
whose fortitude Is to be tested. and,
wearing them, he goes about the vii
lage dancing and singing. If he shows
the slightest sign Of distress he is pro-
nounced q failure and becomes an OBJ
ject of derision to the girls; but. If
he endures the agony without wincing,
his promotion to the rank of warrior
is accomplished.
