TAMMANY LAID LOW.
Democratic Victories in Tuesday's
Elections.
Democratic Governors were elected
Tuesday in each State where this office
was filled Massachusetts, New Jersey
and Virginia. With the exception of
New York State, where the Tammany
Democracy was severely rebuked, more
Democratic than Republican victories
were recorded. '
Maryland elected a Democratic United
States Senator, Blair Lee. Of the four
Congressmen elected throughout the
country three were Democrats. The
exception was C D. Paige, in the Third
District, Massachusetts.
" In Massachusetts there was a Dem
ocratic landslide. Lieutenant-Governor
David I. Walsh was chosen by a plu
rality of 53,091, the largest ever given
a Democratic candidate for the oilice.
Mr. Walsh carried with him into oilice
every Democratic candidate on the State
ticket, with the possible exception ' o
the Attorney-General.
The Tammany Democracy, in New
York State was condemned in a man
ner which left liitle solace to the lead
ers. John Purroy Mitchell, fusionist
was elected Mayor of New York, lead
ing Edward E. McCall, the Tammany
candidate, 121,209 votes. William Sul
zer, deposed Governor of the State, was
elected to the Assembly from New York
City. The New York State Assembly
will be safely Republi;a.
In New Jersey Jahids F. Fielder, Dem
ocrat, was elected Governoi! with a plu-
, rality of about, 22,000 over the Repub
lican candidate, and the Democrats will
control both houses of the Legislature
Kissing and Colds."
Boston is much disturbed. The las
sies of the Hub City are indignant and
the lads are honestly mad. The Depart
ment of Public Health and Charities
has issued a bulletin in which the pub
lie is warned that common colds are
often contracted by kissing.
JLhe Hoard must; have a very poor
opinion in regard to the warmth of the
of the Boston kiss. It is a libel against
Boston society. That a kiss could pos
sibly be so frigid as to produce a cold
seems almost impossible.; It is entirely
unlike the southern brand, which sends
a tingle through the bloed, brings a
flush of warmth to the cheeks of the
contracting parties and inspires a feel
ing of youth even in people old and se
date and inclined to Le chilly.
The Boston kiss should be subjected
to critical analysis,, if thorn bo & rudi
ment of truth in the accusation of the
Board of Public Health and Charities.
This much must be admitted, a cold
that results from a kiss, a cold that fol
lows a kiss, a cold .that is created by a
kiss, is no common cold. It is an ex
ceptional cold. It is' a cold that cannot
be properly diagnosed by any physician.
Besides, the man who would not wil-
lingly pay for a kiss with a cold is a man
unfit to exist. He has only water in his
veins, not warm, manly blood. All sex
instincts must be truly atrophied.
What is a simple cold? It is not seri
ous or severe. Kingdoms have been
endangered for a kiss. Lives have been
risked for the exchange of lips. Why
should the Board of Health and Chari
ties worry about a mere cold?
' The average man, if he is a man, will
brave tho direst perils for the sake of a
kiss. They have done so since the very
beginning of the world and they will
continue to do so until the death knell
of eternity is sounded.
, "Leave but a kiss within the cup, I'll
not ask for wiue' Vaod men still in
dorse the sentiment expressed by rare
old Ben Johnson's exquisite lines.
If the gallants of Boston are to be
discouraged by the bulletin we can only
cry "Shame on you." It sometimes
takes courage to be a coward, but the
coward who is afraid to risk the con
traction of a cold as a penalty for a
kiss is a coward beneath contempt. Of
course, the long kiss, the kiss of love,
described by Byron, may be debated
upon. We would far rather accept the
views of George Yilliers, who appropri
ately said "kisses are like grains of
gold or silver found upon the ground,
of no value themselves but precious as
showing that a mine is near." At any
rate, the poets dealing with kisses say
nothing of colds. Commercial Appeal.
The Democrat's Demise.
In the demise of the Nashville Dem
ocrat the expected has happened. The
old, old story of an attempt to give
Nashville two morning paper? has had
tho usual ending.
Nashville is among the best cities in
the South. It is growing by leaps and
bounds. Nashville advertisers are the
peer of advertisers anywhere else in tho
South. Nashville offers opoortuuity for
many industries. But Nashville has
never supported two morning papers
or evening papers, either, as for that
and never will until tho population has
been increased about. 50,000 above its
present record.
For at least six months it has been
very plain that the Democrat was los
iug ground. Its advertising was falling
off. Its circulatioa was falling off. And
when its candidate for JMayor was de
feated so overwhelmingly and its legjs
tative policies so positively repudiated,
it became equally as plain that its po
litical influence had fallen off. y '
But leaving politics out of the con
sideration altogether, the Tennessean
and American under the ownership of
Senator Luke Lea has developed into a
newspaper that is the equal of metro
politan dailies of much larger cities
To compete with it and secure tho pat
ronage of that large class of readers
who do not take a paper because ot its
politics, but because of its qualities as
a. real un-to-date newspaper, it was
necessary for The Democrat to publish
a mrxr eouallv as good. This it failed
to do after the first year or its existence,
The Sun congratulates the len,nos
sean ana American upon us success
and wishes for it not many years, but
mariv decades of continued success
financially and an ever-increasing influ
ence for the cause of good government
and clean politics. Jackson Sun. ,

Small Hats Lead Larger Shapes
Promised.
New York, Oct. G. School girl or
grandmother, debutarite or matron of
home making taste or business capacity,
every woman is at this time of year in
terested in the subject of new head
wear. Velvet shapes are generally seen
early in. September, even though torrid
temperatures prevail, and so accustomed
have we become to this fad that a vel
vet hat topping a lingerie frock has
ceased to seem incongruous.
SEW SHAPES.
Small hats lead, some of them so
small that they arc just sufficient to
form a base for the towering trimmings
of wired net, tulle, lace, or upstanding
butterfly feathers which are the favorite
garnitures shown. While soft crowns
are most worn there are many shapes
stiflly modelled, some of the prettiest
with little or no brim except at the left
side where the brim turns up high above
the top of the crown, with a gauze but
terfly or' antennae like feathers poised
at the top of this flare in a way that
aJds much to the height of the wearer.
Flat niniche shapes, in shirred silk or
transparent lace, as well as in velvet,

are built up with mgn trimmings ai
the back, where they turn up to dis
play the coiffure. These and many
Other models are. very often fastened
with the "Tommy Atkins" chin strap,
which is gaining ground, and is a boon
to the woman whose chin needs help,
though, truth to tell, it's the very
young contingent who use this device
most. The strap gives a very saucy air
when attached to one of the high drum
shapes that are almost or quite brim
less, and a rather prim demure look
where the hat has a drooping brim. '
For auto wear and general knock
about use, shapes of plush made up
without stiffening, and which pull down
over the ears, are prime favorites. A
very smart hat of this genre seen re
cently was of purple taffeta silk, cut in
strips and braided like straw, then sewn
in a shape half bood, half hat, but alto
gether smart looking and comfortable.
NEW GIRDLES.
The Turkish sash that, going twice
about the waist, droops well over the
hips and ties at the left side, is still
with iis and, strange to say, is success
fully worn even where the girth of the
figure would seem to preclude, its use.
Newer, however, are girdles of leather
or satin that start a bit below the natural
waistline and go up to a height of eight
or twelve inches. These are especially
attractive in soft suede leather, dyed in
all- modish colors, and often form the
sole bantrasting color note in the dress,
though this is apt to be repeated in hos
iery, parasol and in the hat or its trim
mings; ,, -.. .
; . CORSET LINES.
Corset lines change somewhat each
season to keep pace with the new mod
els launched by fashion leaders. No
woman who aspires to appear well
turned but can afford to neglect this
fundamental structure which molds and
holds tho figure correctly if the right
style is selected. Fortunately for the
woman whose dress allowance is limited
the American corsets just launched for
the- Fatf -of 1913 can be had at reasona
ble figures, and one is as sure that the
outlines are up-to-date in Warner's rust
proof as in the most expensive French
stays, more sure in fact, because these
are modeled to suit not the French but
the American style of figure. ;
NEW HT.OCFKS.
' There is no change in the liking for
transparent fabrics for waists and bodi
ces; Full flowing lines are employed,
even for tailor-made wear, but materials
are so soft and clinging that the lines of
a neat figure are quite as-well defined
in these as in tho old-time tight-fitting
bodice. Vest blouses, which simulate
a man's vest, only that tbe front and
back are built of the same" material,
come nearest to the old-time fitted bod
ice which is threatened by designers but
which still lingers in the background.
These "Vestce waists" have sleeves of
thin material silk, lace, chiffon or
marquisette which usually contrast in
color as well as in fabric. Very smart
models of this type show the vest of
brocade and the sleeves repeating one
of the colors of the figured stuff. These
are especially good with tho cut away
coats, which require a vest to complete
their effect. : Lucy Carter.
