issachusetts senator is him- i
*eif u,. the glass; and the inspec
tion is complimentary. Some hand
so\?e things arc being said about
liim. His record is well known. His
services in the House were so satis
factory he was promoted to the Sen
ate; and in the Senate, in a short
time, he has become a leader. No
body doubts his ability to meet the
requirements of the highest office
under the government.
What Mr. Weeks suggests about
his strength at the national conven
tion in case of his candidacy is < f
moment. Simply as the favorite son !
of Massachusetts lie would command l
but limited attention; but as the can
didate of Xew England he would !
bulk well. And, thus far. his is the !
only name from that section men- ;
tioned for the republican first place. '
It is ioo early to make predictions, I
but not too early to canvass what ?

some reason, they do not warrant a

Mr. McCombs Taking a Best.
Chairman McCombs of the demo

to French Lick Springs !nd.. for ..
resi and "to take the waters." Ti c

Kefore leaving Xew \ork. Mr. M,
Co.ri^. saif| ,n reply to a question
I tliat there was no politics in his trip.
I Politicians are always suspected.
The public is apt to sec something of
a political natnrc in every move they
make. Thev are supposed to be al
ways on the job.
Although lie may not meet the
democratic leaders of that section of
the country on this trip. Mr. Mc
Combs should return home well in
formed about the situation there.
Indianapolis is near. Chicago is not
Jar away. Columbus i< in easy reach
by railroad, and Louisville i* a neigh
bor. Anybody desiring informal ion
about 'the lay ot the land" in In
diana. Illinois, f >hio and Kentucky
could not clioose :? better place for
collecting it than Mr. Taggart's re
sort.
Mr. McCombs* relations to the ad
ministration have from ihe tirst been
tur >ubieci of go>sjp. He declined
office. He wa? known to be not well
atrVcted toward some men who got
olfic\ lie \;iv then, and still is.
rated as ?in organization man. Last
year Tie faxc-rcd Ciiynn in New ^ ork
aiui Sull van in Illinois. He has never
jonied in the clamor against Tam
many.
At !ie same time he has remained
t??? d terms with the President,
and is now persona grata at the
White House. It is understood that,
with many others, lie regards the
?>resif!cnt s renommation as not only
? ?*t the only intelligent and
? the democracy to
? n; j eril wi!: come, not

p give Mr. Wilson a second term,
ome of them have a good deal of
power, and several control machines
of the latest style and efficiency,
i hat would be but a languid national
campaign with Charles F. Murphy,
i homas laggart and Koger Sullivan
in the dumps. Xot improbably, the
republicans would have a walkaway.
The democratic bosses were all in
line three years ago. notwithstand
ing the "wooling*' several had re
ceived at Baltimore, arid all must be
in line again if Mr. Wilson is to have
the slightest chance to succeed him

Jitney Routes.
Corporation Counsel Syme in his >
report to the District Commissioners |
on his observations on jitney bus
services in other cities expresses the j
belief that these supplementary j
transports can be maintained prolit
ably only when the operators are
permitted to choose their own routes
and to be their own judges of the
services they shall render. He says:
The moment an attempt is made !
to hold the jitney to a prescribed
route and compel it to perform a ;
proscribed service tor a considerable
number of hours it ceases to be a
profit-making operation. The dead
mileage will quickly consume the
profit.'
It is not clear just how a satis
factory service can be rendered to
the public by dciachvi vehicles op
crating on unstable routes at the !
judgment of the drivers. Certainly j
ihe people who require to be car
ried a-* quickl v as possible from
point to point regularly must know
where they can lake these vehicles i
and where thev are going to lie
transported. A "cruising" jilney be- 1
comes merely a cheap competitor ot
the taxicab. with the difference thai
the patron (aiiiiot direct his route i
whereas the user 01 ti,e taxicab can
command the shortest possible j
Transport to his destination. Doubt- j
less in the cities where this system
has been developed the jitneys vvijrk
along certain routes during certain
hours and shift to other routes a;
other hours. But haphazard bus
running through the streets is hard
ly calculated to appeal to the travel
ing publii.
Having described Germany as aa
unprecedented menace, h'on Watson
should find some consideration tn
Berlin as a literary person of sonic
perspicacity
As examples of neutrality tiie Es
kimos stand pre-eminent. They have
not even taker, sides in the Cook
l'eary controversy.
Japan has no hesitation in letting
it be understood that the present
flurry with China is no Turtle bay
episode.
The technicalities involved even in
a iibel suit make it difficult to utilize
a court record as a campaign docu
ment.
The example of Russia may con
vince China that it is time for coun
tries of enormous area to wake up.
A Touch of Militancy.
| Philadelphia suffragists who waited
I at the White House during three
I days to see the President in order
to urge him in person to speak to a
delegation on the occasion of his visit
to their city next Monday gave a
demonstration of mild American
militancy that is not calculated to
aid the cause of political equality for
women. The President's position on
the silbject of suffrage has been
clearly made known on more than
one occasion. It is plain that he
does not intend by his voice to aid
this cause. Regardless of the merits
of the question, he has put himself
so definitely on record in respect to
own part in the present move
nit that it is idle to press bin
rther. In this particular case
finite answer was given to th
? nladelphia delegation to the effect
?tat the President would be unabh
to accedc to their request. To insist
upon smug liim in person savored j
J of a sirgc such as those that char-j
! acteri/cd the English agitation of a !
5 short time ago. before the great war
| put an end to suffrage militancy in
S that country. Woman suffrage is a
progressing cause here, and its ulti- j
mate triumph cannot be questioned, j
j whether it conies in the near future
j or at a more distant day. The prcs- j
! etit progression toward success will j
? not be hastened by tactics such as
! those manifested yesterday at the ;
I \\ hite 1 louse.
A Money Tunnel.
While it is suggested that the pro
jected iuating and lighting tunnel
from the central plant at 14t 11 and i
Water streets may be utilized to j
carry currency from the engraving
'bureau to the Treasury, for purposes
of greater safety, it is to be borne in
mind that the government has never
suffered a loss in the handling of its j
securities in transit from the money (
factory to the strong boxes. An ex
cellent system has been evolved;
whereby misplacement or theft is:
virtually impossible. Washington is
familiar with the sight of'thc "money
wagon" passing back and forth be
tween the engraving bureau and the
-Treasury, and perhaps imaginative
persons have at times speculated on
the possibility of a raid upon it by
a gang of desperadoes, but it has al
ways been realized that the chances j
of success in a venture of this sort i
would be so slight as to discourage
any such effort. The products of the j
engraving bureau are checked to the
last penny daily, and in the transit
to the Treasury there is never any
slackness of precaution. The tunnel 1
method might be speedier, and
j doubtless it is a good plan to take
| advantage of the already projected
subway to bring the Treasury and
| its money mill into closer conncc
j tion.
Rumors that Huerta is interesting
himself in a project to finance a new ;
demonstration fail to credit the for- j
mer chief with the ability to let well j
enough alone. j
j Dr. Cook saj'S he intends to climb
i Mount Everest this summer. Den
| mark is not weaving any rose
j wreaths to celebrate the achieve- j
I ment.
.
Estimates of the enormous cost of
war have not included calculations of
the indemnities that may be required
j for the destruction of American
j ships.
Japan may feel compelled to send
regrets to the allies with the explana
tion that she has a war on hand in
her own immediate neighborhood.
The deliberation with which Italy
approaches war cannot reasonably be
ascribed to fear of another ringing
denunciation by the kaiser.
William H. Taft refuses to take his
presidential boom with a seriousness j
that might impair his prestige as a
| good loser.
The discussion of bosses at Syra
! cu>e it as shown a tendency to hall
i mildly at the "you're another" stage.
A neutral ship does not enjoy anv

SHOOTING STARS.
B\ I'H I LA NT>RR JOHNSON.
An Appreciative Listener.
"Henrietta.- said Mr. Meekton.
! "that was a wonderfully appealing
and persuasive spet-ch you made."
"The audience seemed to like it."
"Yes. And I was proud to be one of j
| the audience. It's the first time that j
you have talked in that confidential j
and respectful tone to me in years." j

"Dey say politeness don't cost

The bulletins keep coming out.
Their teachings oft amaze.
For crops are fine to talk about,
But mighty hard to raise.
Approaching a Reform.
"Has Crimson Gulch adopted pro
hibition?"
"Xo," replied Broncho Bob. "But it's
on the way. So's to bring it around
gradual, the judge has made a rule
that any man who draws a gun on
another will have to quit drinking.
You'd be surprised to see how nice
and orderly the old place is gettin'
to be."
Self-Sympathetic.
"T suppose you are what they call
a political boss."
"I suppose so," replied Senator
Sorghum, wearily. "As 1 understand
the term, a political boss is a man
who has to do the hard work, the
hard thinking and take all the blame
for anything that goes wrong.'
Unappreciation.
Hie onion is a gentle plant
That greets us in the spring.
The compliments are very scant
Which unto it we fling.
It has no blossom which would please
The poet's tuneful soul.
An onion no one ever sees
Worn in the buttonhole.
The jimson weed may boldly flaunt.
The dandelion, too.
May laugh when gardeners say
"Avaunt,"
And spread itself apew.
I'he onion, whom the world admit f
?. ooked in a hundred ways,
Serves well and humbly and expires
Without a word of praise!

The Kind of Corsets
Your Daughter Should Wear.
Mothers cannot be too careful in the matter of
choosing Corsets for their daughters in the early stage
of development. In fact, until they are fully matured.
If the health of the girl is to be properly iafe
guarded we suggest the proper model each time
a new corset is bought. To some this may seem un
necessary. and in some instances it is useless, but the
figure may change quite a good deal in a short time,
and thus the same model that has been worn may not
be again, suitable.
Our corsetieres will be glad to a<frise with girli
and their motheri as to the most suitable styles an!
