THE EVENING STAR. With Sucday Mo ruin 7 Edition. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY November 2. 1907 CROSBY S. NOYES Editor Latercd as second class mail master at the post office at Washington. D. C. VHE STAR has a regular and perma lient Family Circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Aclvfrtising Mtdium it has no competitor. tar In order to avoid delays on account ?>f personal absence letters to THE fJTAF should cot be addressed to any fadiviuual connected with the office, but 1,imply to THE STAS, or to the Editorial cr Business Department, accoidinfr to tenor or purpose. The "Trade Weeks.''

The task of th- period, therefore, is to lay in attractive stocks and to prove to the near ly merchants that they can obtain their supplies ha re at prices as good, if not bet ter. than those that obtain elsewhere. To accomplish this end there must also b?- Improved transportation facilities. Those facilities can be secured the more easily if it is demonstrated that the trade can be induced to come in this direction. The raising of premiums in the form of r hates and the offering of special attrac tions. as proposed for the December "trad w-eks. will go far toward proving to the nearby retailers that Washington is their natural source of supply. Something must l>e done to overcome the inertia of habit, ttnd th?* plans now laid are designed to work that result. Of course, when the Maryland and Vir ginia merchants are taught the lesson care mast be taken that they do not for ? * it. Washington must be kept in the first place in their recollection and on th'-ir books This is the Jask of the mer chants of Washington, a task rendered eas ? r n proportion to the success of th?' enterprise of 'he Chamber of Commerce, now so promisingly under way. \.tth arty e.j-operation on a .1 sides, with the display of an energetic spirit, with a keen appreciation of the peculiar local needs and the difficulties to be overcome, the trade of Washington should be in creased greatly in volume. The Man Who Left His Family. If tiie New York man whose little boy li hunting for him through the medium t>: the letter to The Star, printed yester day. Is still in Washington, he must be Indeed a hard-hearted creature to with stand t.ie appeal to return home. There la always hope in such cases. A man may desert his family in a moment of piuue, or despondency, or as a result of some indiscretion. He flees his responsi bilities. perhaps only to regret his actloif tmiii- diateij Then, maybe, he is ashamed to return. Many a mail repents a rash move without putting his repentance into effect because he is a moral coward. Then If his heart is softened while his con s' ience is aroused he sometimes turns back In his tracks and atones for his wrongdoing Possibly the mail in this case lias already responded to the tug upon his heartstrings and has gone back liome. It is to be hoped that he ha*. Think twice before you slam the door. It is a good rule, indeed, to think twice before tak ng any positive action.

The Peerless at Home. This is an election forecast from lAncoln "l'resenT indications are that the repub lican stau ticket will be elected in Ne braska t-y the normal majority next Tues day. Re s. the nomin ?? for supreme judge, was nominated alter a fierce pri mary struggle between the progressives, to whom h ? belongs, and the conserva tives, and the wounds left by that figot ar- expected to materially reduce his VoN' "Mr Bryan begins a brief campaign to morrow. i; .king five speeches in as many towns S..' .'day and iloniia.. In the 'ight of the continued display of his pow *r elsewhere, it is strange that ^lr Bryan has never been able to recover his lost ground at home. Other states hear him gladly, and some of them are gi ?*at 1 \ nrlut need by him. But Nebraska now seem- stiff-necked Having thrown off bis yoke, she refuses to bow to it again, and goes republican on both state and national occasions. And yet the people of Nebraska, regard less of party, are proud of Mr Bryan. He is their most eminent citizen, and his extraordinary career lias given them genuine pleasure. It lias be#*n an adver tisement for the commonwealth, in the national councils of the democracy, Ne braska, for ten jeara, has topped all of her sister states. Including New York. The home is where the heart is. The heart of the democracy has been with Mr. Bryan. But. proud as they are of him. the majority of the Nebraskans have ceased to follow him In politics. His pop ularity Is suspended on election day. Why does not Mr. Bryan exert himself more at home? Take this campaign. He has been traveling for weeks, talking pol itics here, lecturing on foreign scenes and peoples there, addressing school chil dren yonder. He gave four days to the Kentucky campaign alone, and for a ticket which In its personnel Is anything but a model one. But his own state of Nebraska gets but two days of his time and tongue. He car. hope to change no i votes by anything he may say today and j Monday. The utmost to be accomplisned is a little pleasurable excitement in the | localities he visits. If the republicans I should l?e defeated it could hardly be at ! tributed to Mr. Bryan. I i The old proverb about the prophet and | iiis own country is not applicable to this ?ase Mr. Bryan was at one time ho- j ?opted as a prophet by his own people, j i He carried things with a cock-a-whoop | for awhile. In 1*!W he was the darling of the Nebraska electorate, and was partly I comforted in his defeat by the reflection | that Nebraska had supported him. But j he could not hold the prophet's crown. J I It presently disappeared, and Mis brow ' ; lias been bare at home ever since. But i ! what a victory, had he remained in Ne- j ! : raska all through this campaign, touring j i tlie state in beliaif of the democratic I ticket, and turning up with a majority on ; election day ' The Parsons-Hearst Deal. The private reflections of Chairman Her- j j t>ert Parsons of New York, could they be obtained, would be worth the highest i space rates. He cannot, in the nature of; things, be a liappy man. There is some :hing on his mind, and it has a right to be there. Republics have been known to be ungrateful. The same Is true of par ties. Is Mr. Parsons tq^ be a victim of; party ingratitud ? He is uneasy, and ] there are people who think he has reason j to be. Mr. Parsons is a reformer. The word is comprehensive, but as applied to him It relates to certain loose practices which grew up under the bossy career of Benja min OdeII. of unfragrant memory. Mr. Odell, it was complained, traded too much. He would trade with Tammany, or with Mr. Hearst, or anybody with "goods" to deliver. His party at last turned him down, and Mr Parsons came to the front. The change was only last year, but here is Mr. Parsons in the role of a trader right away. He has struck hands with Mr. Hearst over a county ticket, and many members of his party are furious with him. They have repudiated his work, and will either sulk on Tuesday, or go over !o Tammany. This puts it up to Mr. Hearst to elect the fusion ticket. If iiis Independ nee League, is not able to make very heavy inroads on the demo cratic vote, fusion's cake is certain to be dough. And yet. as Mr. Parsons points out. the choice presented was fusion or certain defeat. Three tickets, Tammany, the In dependence League, and republican, meant a result at the polls probably in the order named. Tammany would certainly be tlrst. Mr Hearst ill two previous races had shown a large following, and why not unite with him for the defeat of Tam many? Was he worSe than the demo cratic factions with which the republicans had from time to time fused in lights against Tammany? Mr. Parsons thought not. and struck a bargain. It looked like | plain business to him, reformer as he was. Gen. Forrest d lined war as "glttin" the mostest men thar lirst." So ?lr. Par sons defined New York politics?"gittin' the mostest men to the polls on election day." He may have erred, but some of the outcry against him is humbug. It comes from men who have fought both with and against Tammany, both with and against Mr. Hearst, and in presidential years are open to a trade with anybody for votes. Their horror at this Parsons-Hearst deal 1 is a grotesque manifestation of insincer ity. Next year they will be openly work ; ing with Murphy and everybody els ? in reach whom they are now pretending to despise. Von Moltke Not Content. The decision of the public prosecutor of [ Berlin to proceed against Editor Harden I on a charge of criminally libeling Count ! von Moltke, notwithstanding the former's j triumph In the eiv.l action brought against j him, is to be regretted from the point of j view of the public sensibilities, although j possibly such an action may be required to clear the social and political atmos phere of the German capital. It would certainly appear as though Harden had j | made good his case at the tirst trial, but I owing to the limitations imposed by the court the plaintiff at law, but virtually the defendant. Von Moltke, was limited in his opportunity to defend Ills reputation. The whole affair seems to be of a particu larly unpleasant character. As far as It afT cts only the men involved it is of no moment whatever, save as an indication of atrocious moral conditions in high quarters. But if it is true, as Editor Harden charges, that the group of men whom he has accused are unduly power ful at court and exercise a baleful influ ence upon the kaiser and the imperial policies, it Is desirable that the whole truth should be laid bare In order that the corruption may be cured. Harden claims to have been animated in his publications solely by a desire to benefit Germany. His acquittal the other day was hailed by the anti-government agitators as a great victory for them as much as for Harden himself The verdict was undoubtedly popu lar with the crowd, and the decision to proceed with a new form of prosecution is likely to cause a deepening of the public resentment already felt against the court circle. Out of the affair may come im portant results affecting the political future of Germany. Some of the towns that recently adopted local option -re navin^ a somewhat hilari ous time owing to the anxiety to help bev I erage merchants avoid being caught with ! ^ valueless stock on hand. , mmm > For over a year the Chinese empress has lived in seclusion. Like Hetty Green, I she is an < x imple of the fact that some | of the smartest women do not care much for the smart set. i Government ownership advocates will, of course, see significance In the extensive mortgages that I'ncle Sim Is getting on I some of the big financial institutions. Deliberations at The Hague are repre sented as an effort to turn swords into i knives, forks and spoons. K. H Ilarriman evidently thinks he has discovered In Stuyvesant r'ish another gentleman greatly in need of advice. Hearst. I Mr Hearst out of politics? Don't any i ln>dy believe it It was only a fortnight ago that Henry Watterson was reported j as out of politics. Now we all know bet ter Maybe Mr. Hearst is at tiie moment a little blue. There are reasons why he should t|e. But that feeling should pass. In politics, as In other walks of life, "some days must be dark and drea-y." Hut "behind the cloud is the sun still shining." Brighter days are In store for Mr. Hearst, fc?d then we shall see him In politics again and full of fight. He Is too young, too rich, too full of gln#rer to retire from so great a game. Besides, even hia opponents concede that his later plays show an Improvement over his earlier form. The presidency may not be within his reach, but, great as that office is. It is not all of politics. Forbear, young reader, to count Mr. Hearst out Just yet. Your old reader needs no warn ing. He has seen men retire from poll tics before. I Of course the democrats can manage to ! give Mr. Bryan a dinner without inviting i any of these outside criticisms that some j times arise when alcoholic appetizers are introduced. The flow of oratory will be all that is needed to stim -Iate good cheer. The ticket puncher, once the subject of Mark Twain's jocose rhyme, has to be taken seriously when he persists in get ting out and blocking a crowd that is j j making for a train. A rise in the price of milk owing to an } j increased cost of production raises the j I question of whether the cows could not i work cheaper by learning to Fletcherize ; I their food. Forests are now Regarded >? in a way ? to be preserved; unless official art should j become convinced that the mountains j would be impi-ved by some landscape; gardening. Secretary Taft will be a very busy man if he is expected to make a personal call at the court of every government whose friendship is valued by the United States. It is not believed that the President cou.u make himself populrr in Wall street even by discovering that some of his an cestors were born there. SHOOTING STARS. BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. Getting Down to Facts. "Some of our financiers have had trou ble in realizing money." "Of course they have had trouble in realizing it. A lot of it was purely imag inary." No Solace. The tenor with the artistic temperament had wept because the audience did not applaud sufficiently. "Have you told them of my tears?' he anxiously inquired. "les," answered the cynical press agent. "And what do they say?" "The common opinion seems to be that you cry better than you sing." Sad Story. Some conscience and some cash in hand Were his. beyond a doubt. He took a chance in high finance. Now bcth have been wipid out. "De benefit to be got out of an oppor tunity," said T'ncle Eben. "depends a heap on de individual. A present of a gnoa razor will make one man a better barber and another a wuss fighter." Unavailing Wisdom. "Experience." said the man wno in dulges in trite t lngs, "is the best teach er." "Yes," answered the race track philoso pher; "but it usually leaves a man broke so that he can't play hia Information." Education. Now readin' is a precious gift; 'Twill pass the time away. An' writln' gives a man a lift On things he wants to say. Them two inspires your thought profound Or fills your soul witli mirth. But 'rithmetlc?that's what brings 'round The trouble on this earth! You see a fellow with a book; He's smilin' now an' then. He wears a right contented look When he picks up a p?n An' writes, he's takin' it In hand. But how the wrinkles come When lie gets down to business and Decides to figure some! Why sfiould he think about the years And money he had lost? Why should he know these doubts and fears Through countin' up the cost? But now he sits in anxious woe Because (Inhuman trick; Some busybody, long ago. Invented 'rithmetic! Roosevelt Luck. From the Springfield Republican. The Parsons-Hearst alliance, objurgated and cuffed from the hour of Its birth, has weathered the gales of criticism thus far, and not even the statements emanating from Washington that Mr. Roosevelt de clined to be held responsible for it have given it a deathblow. The fusion ticket presents the only opposition that Tam many confronts. The President's luck again comes to the front in this matter, since Oyster Bay, where lie votes. Is not In New York county. Thus he does not face the practical alternative of Tarn- j many and the Parsons-Hearst fusion. Corporation Reform First. From the Chicago News. Talk of currency reform Is excellent. But reform in corporation methods should precede or accompany legislation, render ing the circulation medium more abundant through issues of asset currency or other wise. Mad speculation fed by asset cur rency would grow madder. Perfectly Lovely! b'nim the Baltimore American. The most consoling pleasure of old age, looking out of the windows of hope, is the sweet sense of the heart and soul that you have spread the flowers of life along the rugged road of humanity instead of the nettles of contention. Nothing to Fill. From the Houston 1'ost. Now a Georgia editor wants to know who will fill Col. John Temple Graves' place. There will be no vacancy. Col. Graves will take his place with him. Concession. From the New York Sun. Army officers whose duties do not take them away from their desks are not to be retired even if they cannot stand the strain of severe horseback rides. An un expected concession to common sense. Delaware. From the Boston T-anscript. The penalty that a "prominent politi cian" in Delaware must pay for bribery is two months.' imprisonment, a fine of $200 and disfran; liisment for ten years. Were this applied to all who deserve it in that | state a pretty small vote would be cast j there for the next decade. Apathy. From the New York Mall. Now and then you find a man interested in next Thuesday's election. There are' several hundred registration clerks and j candidates, in fact. Fair Play. From the Maneheister (Eng.) (iuardlan. There is in most men that instinct which is one of t he best heritages from boyhood ?this instinct for fair play and for giving everybody "a chance." What's ThisP From the Brooklyn Eagle. The next republican candidate for Presi dent is born, but he will be found, and not made. He has not yet been found. Those who thougiit they had made him have apparently on.y "made" a mistake.
