Washington society takes note <»f
the reported fact that not In many
j years have there been so many chang
es in tin* foreign diplomatic corps.
Since the last season there have
been resignations of embassadors
from Italy and Mexico, the French
and Brasilian embassies are in mour
ning and other less Important chan
ges have ocurod. All of which Is more
of a concern to society than to our
rules. A youth once remarked at a
Washington dinner: “These diplo
mats don’t count for so much now
adays; thoy have only to call now
and then on the state department;
the telegraph cable does the work."
Unfortunately there were diplomats
at the table, but while the remark
was a sad slip It might have been
wider from tho truth as far ns actual
International transactions go. But of
course these diplomats have an Im
portant role to fill iii helping to
| maintain friendly debit ions by found
ing a personal popularity of their
own.
The railway platform at Heidel
berg was crowded with hurrying
people of many nationalities, but the
American traveler from Connecticut
who was trying to rpnch his family
felt that one man pushed against him
with unnecessary roughness. "Sec
here,” he said turning on the offend
er. “you stop jostling me that way.”
He had hardly expected his word* to
'•e/understood, hut the young man
drew himself tip haughtily un<l said
In cxcelleul KiikIIhIi, tinned by a
Hll)|lit Gorman accent: “I am at your
service. air. at any time and place.
"Well, now, that’* something like
It." said the traveler, hooking hi*
arm Into the haughty young man'-1,
i "You carry this grip of mine, and
take me to a good hotel. You’re Ju* t
tin* man I’ve l»een looking for and
didn’t know how to find.”
THUNDERER COM
PLIMENTS TAFT
"The most winning and tactful of
American statesmen’’ Is what the
London Times calls Secretary Taft
after his skilful adjustment of the
Cuban difficulty! The British' and
European press was qulto sure that
the troubles there could not be paci
fied except by the flourishing of the
big stick and faking possession of the
island in the name or God and the
Amcilcn Congress. Thcro were Amor
leans similarly short-sighted. Senator
Beveridge, for exmple.
I»ut this is the thing 'Secretary
Taft did not <lo. In throe weeks he
won pence without firing a gun. Hut
it is well to remember that in this
service he wan but the silk glove of
Theodore Roosevelt’s strong hand. He
could not have taken the course ho
did without the president’s approba
tion and direction. Nevertheless, the
London Times’ compliment is not n
misfit.
WAR AGAINST
BILLBOARDS
AMERICAN CIVIC ASSOCIATION
WILL TRY TO HAVE THEM
TAXED TO DEATH
“Tax the billboard out of exis
tence,” will be the battle cry of the
American civic association for tho
next year ns a result of plans decided
on at. its annual convention, which
opened at Milwaukee, Wis., Wednes
day. Aggressiveness against bill
boards characterized all the address
es. Secretary Rogers Woodruff of
Philadelphia road a paper at the af
ternoon session on the “National im
pulse of civic improvement.” He
said that when President Roosevelt
on June 29, 1900, signed the ct
for the preservation of Niagara falls,
ho signed the Magna Charfa of tho
civic improvement movement. Mr.
--•— ~y
Woodruff said that the next great
.•ork which the American people
riu»t wage was that against the de
oerntl^i of landscape*. He urged
thnt blllfcoualR should bo taxed out
of exlsta^^r Reports of the various
departments consumed the day. Ad
dresses on Wisconsin topics occupied
the evening session.
m3 THE VOTERS
IN SEVENTH SENA
TORIAL DISTRICT
Gentlemen:
I was unanimously nomi
nated by the Democratic Dis
trict Convention at Hinton
on September 29th for office
of State Seimtor for this dis
trict and desire to announce
my candidacy, and solicit
your good wishes and votes
on election day.
The convention, recog
nizing my wishes, re
strained from instructions,
thereby leaving me untram
melled to act, it' elected, as
my conscience approves for
the best interests of the peo
ple of the district irrespect
ive of party. I appreciate
this expression of confi
dence, and promise that
same was not misplaced.
I believe the cardinal prin
ciples of Democracy, Home
rule, sound money, and tax
ation only for public pur
poses, as founded by Jeffer
son, best for the people, and
will advocate requisite state
laws governing its indus
tries, without appeals to the
general government, and
will also advocate that the
levy of county taxes, he they
much or little, he left to the
counties and such taxes, in
eluding licenses, he used
solely for county purposes.
I hope to make a canvass
of each voting precinct in
the district and discuss is
sues with the people. In the
event that I am not aide to
carry out the program, I
will appreoicte suggestions
from any citizen.
Very Truly Yours,
JAIRTTS COTd JNB.'
