THIRTIETH YEAR GHO of th SE FIRTIETH YEAR. NO HOST of the SEA THIRTIETH YEAR. NO. 19. GHOSTS of the SEA AS the reader ever heard the voice of the night-shrouded sea? Has he heard the wild wall of the raging hurricane and the weird whispers of the ambrosial calm? Has he seen ships creep out of the night when they blot out the stars with their darkling silhouettes, or when the sea and sky are one save for the gray patches of froth left trailing in the wake of breaking seas; has he seen great gray sails ooze out of the fog, or ships stealing across the "moon glitter of silver cast upon the wateral votewater, when the rays pierce it they become gauzy films?

If he knows these things, who shall blame him for not scoffling at the superstitions of those who go THE GHOSTLY SHIP OF BEVARD FORME down to the sea in ships? Will he not rather give an ear to the tales of strange things seen and believed by sailor-folk? It is the 'writer's pleasure to waste time sailing the sea in a small craft, usually alone. Upon one of these voyages, having anchored upon the edge of the Nore Sands, he awoke in the middle of the night to find himself enshrouded by a thick fog—eerie enough, the uninitiated reader will doubtless think. Upon looking out at the black woolly wall of fog that surrounded him, he distinctly heard his own name halled across the water. No other craft was near. This struck him as being so peculiar that he mentioned it to a friend when he arrived at the little anchorage, and the skipper of a barge, chancing to overhear, said: "That's the ol' genleman of the Nore! Often of fogy nights ye may 'ear 'im a-yelling aht in a kind o' elphless, but sometimes' language is something horful. They say as 'e was a first mate wot dropped overboard and swam to the sands, where 'e walked about until the tide rose an' drowned 'im." On another occasion I was sailing along the coast of France, under the cliffs upon which stands Gris Nez lighthouse, which is about the most powerful light in the world. It was a very dark night, and the revolving rays of the lighthouse kept flashing upon the sails of my boat, lighting them like a powerful searchlight, until proceeding along the course I got out of their range. The strange effect had been forgotten, only to be remembered in time to prevent me from becoming a firm believer in ghosts. There out an sea a ghostly ship was sailing; she was rather too modern, perhaps, to be a real ghost. for every sail set like a glove—ghost ships were never particular in this respect—indeed, she was one of those fine ships out of Glasgow which are the last words in sailing craft. From apparently nowhere a ship had come—a ship unicornly glowing with an unnatural light. Her sails, were surely cobwebs and her ropes were spider strings! Strange sights and sounds frequently come the way of seafarers. The grovelling hissing sea, breaking through the night. Its appearance is ghastly gray; it comes from nowhere, it fades away soon after. What could not the imagination weave it into? Shape or sound of spirits chased by the Evil One, the dying wife with arms outstretched, or sound of mother's voice. Moreover, such messages as sea sounds give have frequently come from the dead; the howl of the raging gale, or the murmur of the gentle breeze through the halyards, have borne the departing message in words that were exactly those the lost one whispered last. To the mind of one who knows the sea, it would seem strange that sailors are not more superstitious than they are, and there are certainly many reasonable excuses for their belief in such stories as that of the Flying Dutchman. A patch of swirling vapor through the rigging of his ship upon a dark night. Imagination does the rest; he has seen the Flying Dutchman. Cornellus Vanderdecken, a Dutch navigator of long ago, was making a passage from Batavia. For days and days he encountered heavy gales and hailing head winds while trying to round the Cape of Good Hope. Struggle against the winds as he would, he lost as much on one tack as he gained upon the other. Struggle vainly for nine hopeless weeks, he ultimately found himself in the same position as he was in at first, the ship having wade no progress. Vanderdecken, in a fit of wrath, threw himself on his knees H WESTERN RESERVE CLEVILAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. NO. 19. THE GAZETTE the impe so that him for who go Superstition has it that the appearance of the phantom ship leads to certain and swift misfortune. Old sailors will tell of the ship of the Flying Dutchman bowling along in the very teeth of the wind, and of her overtaking their own ship which was beating to windward. Some of them say they have seen her sail clean through their ship, the swirling films of her sails and rigging leaving a cold clammy feeling like the touch of death. Cornwall in the old days was remarkable for its wreckers, and its rock-bound coast was the scene of many evil deeds. The Priest's Cove wrecker durug his evil life lured many vessels to their doom upon the cruel shore by means of a false light hung round the neck of a hobbied horse. To this day the good Cornish folk will tell you of the phantom of the wrecker seen when the winds howl and the seas rage high, carried clinging to a log of wood upon the crests of the breaking seas, and how it is sent crashing upon the rocks, where in the seething foam it disappears from sight. The wide stretching sand-choked estuary of the Solway has many a ghost story and more than one phantom ship. The "Spectral Shallop" is the ghost of a ferryboat which was wrecked by a rival ferryman while carrying a bridal party across the bay. The ghostly boat is rowed by the skeleton of the cruelly ferryman, and such ships as are so unlucky as to encounter this ghastly pilot are usually doomed to be wrecked upon the sands. No money would tempt the Solway fishermen to go out to meet the two Danish sea-rovers whose ships, upon clear nights, are seen gilding up one of the narrow channels which thread the dried-out sands, the high-curved prows and rows of shields along the gunwale glittering in the moonlight. These two plastrical ships, it seems, ran into the Solway and dropped anchor there, when a sudden furious storm came up and the ships, which were heavily laden with plunder, sank at their moorings with all the villains which composed their crews. Among the rocks upon the rugged coast of Kerry was found one winter morning, early in the eighteenth century, a large galleon, mastless and deserted. The Kerry wreckers crowded aboard, and wild was their joy, for the ship was laden with ingots of silver from the Spanish Main. They gradually filled their boats until the gunwales were almost down to the water's edge, and when they pulled to the shore in order that they might be further ingots before the tide rose and floated the ship away. Nearing the shore a huge tidal wave broke over boats and ship, and when the wave had passed, the horrified women watching on shore saw no sign remaining of boats, men or ship. Wild horses would not get a Kerry fisherman to visit the scene of this disaster upon the anniversary of the day the grim tragedy took place, for only bad luck has come to those who have seen the re-enactment of the affair, which Kerry folk believe takes place upon that day. The Newhaven ghost ship signified her own doom. A ship built at Newhaven in January, 1647, having sailed away upon her malen voyage, was thought to have been lost at sea, when one evening in June, during a furious thunderstorm, she sank into the river mouth—but straight into the wind—until she neared the town, when slowly she faded from the sight of the people who crowded on shore to watch her.

The Palatine is the best-known specter. The coasters and fishermen of Long Island Sound will tell you that when a sight of her is gotten, disastrous and long-lasting storms will follow. The Palatine, a Dutch trader, misled by false lights shown by wreckers, ran ashore upon Block Island in the year 1752. The wreckers, when they had stripped the vessel, set her on fire in order to conceal their crime. As the tide lifted her and carried her flaming out to sea, agonizing shrieks came from the blaze, and the figure of a woman who had hidden herself in the hold in fear of the wreckers stood out black amid the roaring blaze. Then the deck fell in and ship and woman vanished. The whaling in Nantucket, as you will remember, was in its palmy days carried on almost entirely by Quakers. One Sunday evening a meeting was in progress; the simple service seemed as though it might pass, and the spirit moved none of the company. The elder Friend was just about to offer his hand to his neighbor in the closing of the meeting, when a stranger rose and declared that the Lord's wrath was upon a certain whaling ship, and that he had seen her in a vision descending a huge wave from the hollow of which she never rose. The meeting closed hurriedly, but the speaker could not be found, and the ship was never heard of. Some of the best ghost stories are those which the writer has heard from the simple folk of the salt marshes. It is hardly possible to describe these dreary districts, for when one has said they are flat, stretching for miles, and rather subject to mists, one has said pretty well all that is to be sad—the rest must be felt. However, just as there is a call of the sea, so there is a call of the marshland. You shall go into the saltern and feel its moist breath upon your cheek and the breath of its salty winds and the ozone of its calms. You shall be lost in its vastness, and, threading its innumerable twisted narrow waterways, which lead to nowhere, ye shall tread its carpet of scentless flowers. You shall go to its very edge where the sea comes often-most, and where the flowers decaying leave their roots remain. There you shall meet mud, and the cry to the sea shall mock as you flounder in its filth. The marshland come up refracted by the mist into unrecognizable shape, which shall be blood color. You shall be a gray shape, differing little from the common things that are there, for you shall be enshrouded by fog; nay, it shall sink into your very soul, until you are not flesh and bones, but a particle of fogy yourself. You shall listen to its silences; you shall be told things by them, and, strong man that you are, you shall be afraid. Is it to be wondered at, then, that these simple Essex marsh-dwellers remember such tales as that of the young skipper, home from a long voyage, whose hastie to embrace his wife, and the babe he had not yet seen, bid him to go the nearer way of the marshes? The tale has it that in crossing a narrow gutway, near Pitsa, he sank in the mud. So deeply did he sink that he could not extricate himself; the more he struggled the deeper he sank, and with the horror of knowing that the tide was rising and would come stealing up the creek, he shouted. As the tide rose higher the louder were his screams. The salterns near Pitsa are lonely; the cries were heard only by a half-witted peat-cutter, who often in his less sane moments heard such screams and thought no more of the matter. So the shrieks became gurgles, and by the time the tide had lifted the peat-cutter's punt they had ceased. The older folk at this stage of the story assume a mysterious air, and, with large-eyed glaucomas atwart their shoulders, will tell you that the skipper's shrieks are heard on starlit nights as the tide glides up that creek. in that creek. So here are my ghost stories, and if I sometimes believe in them when I sail all alone on the midnight deep, you will not laugh at me. 13 DIE IN BIG BLOWUP TWENTY-SIX OTHERS HURT AS DRY STARCH EXPLODES. Men, With Clothes Afire, Stagger Out of Burning Debris of Wrecked Building and Collapse. Waukegan, Ill.—The thousands of employees of the Corn Products Refining Co.'s plant had just returned from lunch when a large building known as the dry starch house blew up like a can of powder. Every man in the building was killed or injured. Thirteen dead and 26 hurt was the best estimate that could be obtained. The explosion rocked the entire $4,000,000 plant. It shook windows in the town. It brought women and children who followed the fire engines as spectators and remained as wailing widows and orphans as the blackened forms of men were snatched from the flaming ruin or collected from places where they had been blown. The building that blow up was three stories high and 125 feet square. A two-story frame cupola surmounted the roof. It stood at the south end of the great plant. When the men employed in the starch house went to dinner there were 75,000 pounds of starch in the structure. It was shipping day and the regular force had been doubled to hasten the filling of the freight cars that stood on a side track. At 1:25 p. m., when the afternoon's work was well under way, every cubic inch or air in the building became red. The brick building was lifted into the air. Had the starch been dynamite the destruction could have been little more disastrous to the men inside. The scene about the blazing debris was one of horror. With clothes affame, men staggered into the air and collapsed. Every automobile and cab in Waukegan was pressed into service to take the injured to the Jane McAllister hospital. Hysterical wives, mothers and children, alarmed by the terrific explosion, rushed to the scene, and it required the efforts of the entire police force of the town to keep them back from the flames. Twelve of the injured men were Lithuanians. One was a Greek, another a Turk and there were several Russians and Americans. The value of the building, machinery and contents destroyed by the explosion and fire was $100,000, fully covered by insurance. SENATOR RAYNER IS DEAD United States Solon From Maryland Passes Away After Long Illness in Washington Home. Washington, D. C.—Senator Isador Rayner of Maryland died at his home in this city, following a long fight against a complication of diseases. Rayner was born in Baltimore in 1850. He was admitted to the bar in Baltimore in 1870. In 1878 he was elected to the Maryland legislature and in 1885 to the state senate. In 1886 he resigned to become the democratic candidate for congress man, and was elected. He declined re-election for a fourth term, and was chosen attorney general of Maryland instead. ISADOR RAYNER. In 1904 he was elected United States senator to succeed Louis E McComas, Republican. He was reelected for the term expiring March 3, 1917. The death of Senator Rayner changes the political complexion of the next senate and swings it from Democratic control to a tie. With his vote the Democrats had 49, or one more than a majority. As the present governor of Maryland, Lee Goldsborough, is a Republican, the new Maryland appointee will probably be of that political faith, until the legislature meets, in January, 1914. This will give each party in the senate 48 votes. Funeral services for Rayner were held at his former residence here. Again Elect Dr. Anna Shaw Again Elect Dr. Anna Shaw. Philadelphia, Pa. — The National Woman Suffrage convention re-elected Dr. Anna Howard Shaw president. The result of the balloting was: Dr. Shaw, 291; Miss Laura Clay of Kentucky, 20; Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulough of Illinois, 13; Miss Jane Addams of Chicago, 11. After the vote had been announced the election of Dr. Shaw was made unanimous. Several times during the session the delegates got into parliamentary tangles over the reading of the report of the committee on credentials. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Ladies living away from Chicago should think twice before allowing their husbands to take them there to live. In Chicago, husbands like riches, frequently take wings and fly away—or they get away somehow. I met a number of women who had been deserted by their husbands in a very short time after they had reached that city. Wife desertion in Chicago surpasses that in any other city. Of course when they run away husbands are caught they are imprisoned, and are paroled only on promise that they will support their families. Last year the courts collected the money from the employer of a paroled husband and pay it over to the deserted families. Last year the courts there collected and paid out $75,000. But by reason of lack of prominence the colored brother, bent on deserting his family, fits it easy to make his get away. And he is rarely ever found, and never returns, although he may be having a high old time just around the corner in another block. And then the whites have an effective method of discovering the wanderer (if white) and of persuading him to return home. They advertise for him in the daily papers, especially in the Sunday editions. His children write touching letters begging him, if alive, to return. These letters, often accompanied by the children's pictures, are printed in the papers. In many instances the man finds that there is only one of two things to do, either return home or get off the earth. Concealment in the white light of such publicity is out of the question. But such a weapon as this would prove non-effective in the case of nine-tenths of the absconding colored brothers. Hence their families spend the weary years in silent suffering looking as do shipwrecked sailors for a sail which they know will never return. One woman ran a little lunch counter near the place where the league met. She was trying to make money enough to get back home down in Dixie. She said that when they moved there from the far south, the husband soon became fast, the town was fast, and the two had left her stranded and far away from home. The husband had never been seen since he left, pretending to be going to his job. Hundreds of them never "come back." Another woman was running a shoe shining stand, and while she polished my shoes she told me her illad of woes—husband had been gone for years, leaving her to bring up and support the children who in a few years had also disappeared. Therefore, gentle reader, before you move to Chicago, with your husband, see to it that you have his "adoption tried," and that you have his heart attached to you "with hooks of steel." "For in this naughty city old-fashioned love is regarded as a species of criminal madness."—"Old Hickory." A flag for the negro race has been designed by Bishop J. Lennox of the Zion African Evangelical church. Flags represent nations, not races. It is all nonsense to try to have the negro race adopt a specially designed flag. The only flag the American negro can lay just claim to is the Stars and Stripes. Negroes have volunteered in many of our country's wars to abed their blood that the honor of Old Glory might be upheld. The song, "Every race has a flag but the coon," simply displays ignorance, and the bishop displays his ignorance also. There is no football being played this year at Meharyan Medical college and Pearl High school in Nashville, Tenn., by decision of the faculties of these two schools, because the young men have openly and flagrantly bet and gambled on the results of the games. This is to be regretted. Athletics, in all its legitimate forms, is a necessity, especially in American school life. Of itself the sport is not bad. It does see to us that plans could have been devised and a compelling moral crusade carried on to eliminate these bad practices, thereby retaining the game. If the sport was abolished without an effort first having been made to suppress the evils attendant upon it, the impression may go abroad that the course decided on is an acknowledgment of weakness on the part of the powers who refrained from attempting to regulate instead of abolishing. if he is poor, he is a boor; if he is well to do, he has the "czar microbe; but if he is wealthy, he has that admirable characteristic of getting what he wants, when he wants it. Many prominent whites are frankly expressing the view that their race is responsible to a large degree for the American negro's condition, and are endeavoring to awaken more active interest in the work of American negro redemption and conservation. Our people have felt that way about the matter all along. Getting married costs much less than being married. Man proposes and hopes the woman opposes. FIVE CENTS. AN CULLINGS The new attitude which southern college men are assuming toward the matter of race relationship is most encouraging. In the tolerant, broad-minded friendliness of the rising generation of college men lies the hope of the negro race. Eighteen months ago the Young Men's Christian association in colleges of the south launched a movement for a definite study of this problem of the negro by white college men. Our most sanguine hopes did not lead us to believe that we would be able to get more than 2,000 southern college men studying this question within the first year. In fact, so timid were we that at our student conference, where we gathered leaders from all of the colleges of the southwest, we planned to invite personally a group of more mature and broad-minded students to enter this study. We felt that if they became genuinely interested each man could go back to his college and start a similar study group. We had no hope that we would secure more than 15 or 20 men in this conference for this study. The negro course was an audition of the secrecy in the study of home and foreign missions, and what was our amazement when we found that more than one-third of the students in the conference enrolled in the class for negro study. These men going back into various colleges so encouraged the study of this problem that during the term of 1910-1911 we were able to enroll some 4,000 college men in small groups in the study of this question. During the present college year of 1911-1912 we have already enrolled some 6,000 men. Thus it will be seen that in the last 18 months 10,000 southern white college men have been giving some genuine study to the big problems that connect themselves with race relationship in the south—W. D. Weatherford in the Southern Workman. Fred M. Johnson, negro globe trotter, who fought at San Juan Hill, has invented a belt feed rifle that, it is asserted, will fire 200 shots without stopping at the rate of 20 shots a second. Johnson says he has received word from the war department that his rifle is considered one of the wonders of the age, and that it soon will receive a trial. The Johnson gun is used much like an ordinary rifle, being about the same weight and length, but instead of the regular stock, the rifle is equipped with a brace which fastens to both shoulders, bringing the barrel to a level with the eye. A small crank fitted to the side of the barrel operates the belt so the cartridges are carried to the chamber, dicharged and the shells ejected simply by turning the crank. Johnson is now a resident of Cleveland, O. John H. Cebolt, $32 Camp street, Indianapolis, Ind., through his attorney, William L. Houston, has been granted a patent by the patent office on his invention of a non-puncturable tire for automobiles. His patent tire can be punctured with a six or eight penny nail without necessitating stopping for repairs. It is so constructed that no matter how badly the outside rim is punctured the inside tire remains intact. The invention will be a boon to automobile owners, and ought to prove a fortune for the inventor. Every man in a crowded trolley car wonders why the other men do not give up their seats o the women who are standing. Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft are the last nine men elected to the presidency of these United States. Of this number, three were assassinated—Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. An attempt has been made on Roosevelt's life. Thus nearly half the number were targets for bullets fired by irresponsible enemies of government. If it is necessary to safeguard the lives of crowned heads in Europe, it is more necessary to protect our governmental leaders far better than they have been protected, for America is almost an unrestricted mecca for those who have failed in their insane and fanatic attempts to have all forms of government abolished. Everyone has some part of his work that he can cheerfully part with, and the boy who starts to work without specially defined duties, is apt to soon find himself the busiest person about. The human family acquired the habit of running one another down long before the motor car did it. He who lives to regret has not lived in vain. A twenty-year-old Kansas colored girl stood six civil service examinations and held first place in five out of the six and stood second in the sixth one. Here is a fine example of negro pluck, intelligence and education. The man who gets in late in the morning and leaves on time with his desk cleared isn't a gentus so often as a papa's pet. fi 4 ' s _. es i ce sen roman ‘THE GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY OMe Year... ceceseveneeees G180 GIX Montha........eeeceneees 1.00 ‘Three Monthe.......ccceeee. 60 Gubscribers are requested te re mit by postoffice money on sae Entered at the postoffice In Cleveland, ‘Ohio, as second-class matter Address al! rer SMTke te HARRY C.

The young woman’ has been held as a witness in the Johnson case for several weeks, most of the time in the Winnebago county jail in Rockford, Ill, where her mother was allowed to be with her. Recently, she has again refused to ap- pear against Jack.

Had the law been enforced there would be no need now to sussest lynching or driving Jack Johnson away.

It consists of a hut attached to every farm, says Harper's Weekly. In the middle of the hut is raised a kind of beehive of the rough stones and in this a fire is lighted. When the stones become red hot they are drench- ed with water, so that the place is filled with vapor. ‘Then enter the bathers, who are armed with birch twigs, with which they belabor one another until all are In a state of pro- fuse perspiration. Then all leave the hut and roll in the snow outside. Thie last function, it will be observed, is equivalent to the cold plunge which is the final experience in the Turkish bath as known to us all.

Howard James, director of purchases of the Great Northern railroad, and Samuel P. Plechner, purchasing agent of the same road, were instantly killed in St. Paul, Minn., when the automobile in which they were driving turned turtle and crushed them to death.

Y., decided to ask the unions affiliated with it to raise money for the defense of the alleged dynamiters who are on trial in Indianapolis. The board of arbitration intrusted with the settlement of the dispute between 52 eastern railroads and their engineers has reported awarding substantial increases over the wages on some of the roads, the settlement being virtually a compromise.

Balkan War The first meeting of the peace envoy represents Turkey and Bulgaria looking to the terms in an effort to end the Balkan war took place at the Beghichte, near Blyuk Chekmendy, a small town in the center of a neutral zone, declared such for the purpose of carrying on the negotiations. . . . The sultan of Turkey has made an appeal for the good offices of the king of Italy to bring about a more conciliatory attitude on the part of the king of Montenegro and the king of Servia.

Politics Several hundred workers of the Progressive party held a love feast at Indiapolis, Ind., at which former Senator Albert J. Beveridge, defeated candidate for governor, was hailed as the party's next candidate for the presidency. A decision of the appellate court handed down at Los Angeles apparently insures a plurality of about 150 votes for Woodrow Wilson in California. . . .

Seventy-four counties voted for it, 30 against it and there was a tie In Brown county. . . .

Sporting Kodji Yamada won third money in the play-off of the tie with Oro Morningstar in the 18.2 balk line billiard championship at New York. The score was 500 points to 299, and the Oriental gets a trifle more than one thousand dollars as his share for participating in his first premier tournament. Charlie White went up against the cleverest lightweight in the east, "Pal" Moore of Philadelphia, and beat him in a ten-round battle before a crowd of two thousand at Kenosha, Wla. White did not have much of a margin at the end, however, but it was enough to entitle him to the popular verdict. --- Willie Hoppe retained his world's championship title at 18.2 balk line billiards by defeating Ora Morningstar by a score of 500 to 276 in the final game of the big tournament in New York. Personal Isidor Rayner, United States senator from Maryland, is dead of neuritis in Washington, from which he had been suffering for five years, following an acute illness of six weeks.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1912 THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY HERE IT IS— IT'S NOT ONLY TO YOUR ME WILSON — GRANT See That the Fields Are Well Fertilized and the Factories Teeming With Orders. My Friends Will Not Antagonize You. HARD TO TELL JUST WHAT THE COUNTRY MAY LOOK FOR. Dealing With Office-Hunting Army Will Be the First of President Wilson's Trials—and Then More Serious Difficulties. While the next congress will be Democratic in both branches, the senate majority margin will be very small. If the Republicans stand together on important issues they will constitute a very powerful minority. If divergencies develop in the senatorial majority in respect to tariff schedules or any other important party measure there may be a series of deadlocks that will prevent action. And then there is Dr. Woodrow Wilson. Will there be complete harmony of view in respect to a tariff redraft between the new congress and the new president? Nobody knows at this time. The thing that looms largest in many Democratic minds in connection with the accession to power in national affairs of the Democratic party is the distribution of the patronage. If the civil-service law is not eluded—and there is no reason to expect that the next president will permit it to be sideltracked—the place changes will not be so sweeping as they were under the first Cleveland administration. But the appointments which the new president will make will run far up in the thousands and will affect every state and congressional district. In the view of many Democrats the most important of all Democratic maxims is that Jackson screen "To the victors belong the spoils." It is fatefully certain that there will be a great army of place hunters from all over the map to invade Washington as soon as the new president takes up quarters at the White House. Speaking of the prospective and inevitable office-hunting army that will besiege the new president, Col. Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Journal, declares that upon the very threshold of his administration the new president will have rough work to do. Colonel Watterson predicts that "the onus of office hunters will surpass anything ever known before." Concerning the appeals for appointment that will be made upon the next president the Courier-Journal editor, Peter H. White, will color the picture. White House, and assail the new occupant "during all his waking hours and pursue him in his sleep and dreams, morning, noon and night. He will never escape from the mean, sordid and brazen in the rank ignominy of self-seeking. Colonel Watterson's picture of what awaits Dr. Wilson as a patronage distributor is not too fancifully touched up. Far more serious difficulties, however, than standing off and sending back the office-hunting brigades will soon be encountered if the new president happens to have some ideas as to legislative policy that differ from those which the congressional majority may attempt to put through. In the Democratic platform adopted at the Baltimore convention not one word is said about maintaining the protective principle in the advocated redraft of the tariff. In the platform emphasis is placed upon the declaration favoring the speedy and extensive reduction of the schedules. It was in reference to this plank that Governor Wilson time and again in his campaign speeches remarked that "a platform is not a program." Frequently he told his audiences in manufacturing sections: "I do not believe in free trade or anything like it." By "anything like it" he must have meant, un- Prosperity of Republican Rule. The 1907 panic was a Wall street affair—that is to say, it was a spectaculair panic. It touched the country only in spots, and the farm industries which were prostrated during 1893, 1894, 1895, 1896 and until late in 1897, were not deleteriously affected in 1907. We have had no such period of prostration since the restoration of the Republican party to power in 1897—15 years ago—as the four-year period during which the country was run under a Democratic tariff. Keeping No Standards Alive Keeping Up Standard of Living. If we had not enjoyed the benefit of a protective tariff for many years there would now be no American standard of living; it would be the European standard of living, or the still lower English standard, where the working people subsist on a plain, monotonous diet. The English trade report states that there is a greater variety of meat diet in France than in England, and that considered as a whole the diet of the French is more varied and of greater quantity than less his utterance was a mere vagary, that he did not believe in the doctrine of tariff for revenue only, which is but a variation of the free-trade doctrinal. No president during the past half-century was selected by such a sweeping majority of the electoral college vote as will mark the formal choosing of the next president. This sweeping victory including as it does many rock-ribbed Republican states, must naturally broaden the horizon of the incoming president, though there is nothing in Governor Wilson's record to indicate that his party allegiance is of the small, feather-in-hat kind. He will have something more than the usual reasons for regarding himself as president of the whole country. The complicated industrialism of the country has been fostered and developed through governmental policies that have been thoughtfully worked out and proved by experience. The new president may find himself obliged to stand like a stone wall against hasty and unwise legislation proposed by his party. The country at large has more faith in Woodrow Wilson than in the Democratic party.—Baltimore American. NOT A MAJORITY PRESIDENT Woodrow Wilson's Elevation to High Office Largely Matter of Lucky Circumstances. Imposing as Governor Wilson's majority in the electoral college looms up before the country, the entire structure of Democratic power in the nation will be founded from the first on quicksand. Woodrow Wilson is to be a minority president to a degree unprecedented in American history. His triumph at the polls is obviously due to his success in numerous states where he fell far short of obtaining half the ballots cast. In 1860 Abraham Lincoln was a minority victor in the presidential race, but in a totally different sense. Breckinridge, who carried many states in the south, made no show in the northern states where Lincoln beat Douglas. The states which Lincoln carried his swept, as a rule, by a clear margin were votes cast. With Woodrow Wilson the situation is radically different. He has carried state after state in which the Roosevelt vote combined with the Taft vote would have buried the Democratic ticket out of sight These facts make it clear that from the beginning of President-elect Wilson's term he and his party will stand on a most treacherous foisting. At any time that the Progressives and the Republicans, long members of the same great organization, get together, even in a degree failing considerably short of the old unity, down will come the Democratic house of cards and the term of the minority president will be doomed to end in his complete overthrow as an aspirant for further political honors. Republican Party's Future As for those to whom the unity and power of the Republican party is dear there must be a new course set. At present it is in exactly the same position as the Democratic party after 1896, except that the rupture is more violent and the fracture more even. Unless it is to undergo a long period of minority it must eschew the vices that have brought it to this pass. It must cease to be swayed by devotion to personal ambitions or by service to pecuniary interests. The discarding of personal interests and the sincere advocacy only of popular welfare may restore the Republican party to its old place. Nothing short of this is likely to—unless the Democrats make good their former record of throwing away by monumental blunders what they have gained—Pittsburg Dispatch. Forced to Face Facts. There is no attempt on the part of the Democratic organs and orators to deny that there was business prostration during the four years of Democratic control of national affairs. The facts are too recent to be denied. There are too many people yet living who remember that era of shut-down mills, depressed business and general hard times. Joyrides, like possips, are always running people down. the English. And this despite the increased cost of living in France, where in the years between 1905 and 1907 food prices increased considerably. For there was a rise of from 7 to 23 per cent. on pork, beef from 7 to 5 per cent., mutton from 2 to 10 per cent., 5 per cent. on coffee, sugar from 9 to 20 per cent., veal from 6 to 10 per cent., bread from 4 to 16 per cent. Yet wages have not gone up. All the capital jokes do not originate in Washing on STREET APPAREL Much Importance Attached to Outdoor Costume. Draped Effects Are Accorded the Most Popularity by the Leading Designers—Walist Line a Matter of Individual Choice. NEW YORK.-Just now and for another month to come the principal interest in clothes centers around street apparel, and certainly it is an important feature in dress to appear well gowned in public, but the smart dresser never neglects the frocks to be worn in the house, for she realizes how telling it is to be becoming and distinctively gowned in one's own home, writes Laura R. Sellep in the Chicago Record-Herald. Therefore the first considerations in dress are the street costumes and the evening gowns, and after these difficult problems are accomplished, then attention can be turned to fascinating house gowns. This does not mean the matinee or negligue, but the tea gown, which today finds quite as elaborate and every whit an expensive, if not more so, than the fashionable dinner gown, and often in many respects it is very similar. Many of the world's renowned designers have gone over to draped effects for street wear; indeed few of the European houses have turned out anything but draped styles of one kind or another. And in many of the great establishments the normal waist line and even the elongated waist line receives much attention, but the raised waist line is by no means discarded, and many sumptuous models are shown with decidedly short waist. On street costumes the ceinture is indicated by a false girdle or belt, which in many instances furnished the decorative feature of the coat. All sorts of original ideas are thus expressed, and with excellent results. Sometimes the lengthened waist line is suggested in the same way. White Velvet for the Street. White Velvet for the Street. One of the handsomest street costumes brought out by one of New York's importers who has copied and idealized a large number of exclusive models, is a gown very simple in line, yet superlatively gorgeous, being made as it is of white velvet. The silhouette of the model is similar to a dress which have been familiar during the past year, out straight back, the left side closes over the right in a rounded corner, leaving the slightly plated underskirt in view at the bottom. Ornate white buttons set with a single brilliant hold the corner in place. In the front a cleverly arranged white satin sash starting from under the front of the Mediell collar and falling down the left front of coat and skirt to the knee. The scarf is held flat by straps of velvet and small buttons. Indications point to an unproceded year of velvet. Velvets of all kinds are popular, but the broaches and embossed patterns are the novelties most prized, and lovely effects are being developed with them. The embossed velvet designs on chiffon or messaline or on metallic gauze are particularly beautiful and lend themselves charmingly to drapery effects. A great deal is being done with black velvet embossed on cloth of gold and blue on cloth of silver. Some wonderfully gorgeous gowns in these superb broaches, combined with plain velvet are being exhibited at the smart houses, and so well are the embossed fabrics taking that it is almost impossible to obtain even short lengths of the choice patterns in the shops. One-Tone Effects Popular Taupe one-tone effects are extremely popular in these delectable materials, and some of the smartest after noon gowns are developed in taupe velvet embossed messaeline madeup with plain taupe velvet or satin and relieved by cascades of lovely soft lace. The various taupe shades are surprisingly effective and generally becoming, but often relieving colors are employed with taupe, certain shades of red or old rose being the most successful. One also sees deep orange with taupe, but this combination is only for the brunette to whom burnt orange is becoming. The new reds that are being favored just now are excellent with all the fashionable mole and brown tones, as well as with the heavier shades of taupe. Some exceedingly pretty models in corduroy and heavy velvet, not unlike those in wool, are modish and charming-for street wear. A lovely little suit in deep rose corded velvet was highly complimented with its underskirt of black satin bordered with skunk fur, and its caunningly arranged skirt plaits. The fancy coat was cut quite long at the back with cutaway fronts and satin waistcoat embroidered with red and gold. The high collar and long tight sleeves were finished with a band of fur corresponding with that on the bottom of the skirt. The high, close collar trimmed with a line of fur is becoming more and more popular, as are also the long close-fitting sleeves finished in the same manner. Coat tails, long or short, square or spiked, and belts or odd ornaments marking the waist line offer variety to the modish street costume. Even when the coats are short in front they are likely to show more length in the back than did the coats of a few weeks back. In many instances the collars appear only in the back show. Picturesque Frills. The Victorian influence is daily becoming stronger. Frills and ruches are seen on many of the new gowns, and a curious old-fashioned cut gives an added touch of picturesque to the new styles. A very new tailor-made for afternoon wear shows this new idea to a very marked extent. The outaway coat of dull green satin fits into the waist at the back, and is edged all around with a deep gathered frill of green mousseau. Another frill of log not at all from the front view or merely as lines on the shoulders, and occasionally one notices a bodice finished round at the base of the neck across the front, but running down a trifle lower in a point at the back. Many of the expensive gowns and bouses are made with the round deep cut, but as cold weather advances we shall see fewer and fewer of the bare throats. The newest street gowns of less pretentious skirt do not employ whipcord or serge but a handsome new material called velour de laine, striped or plain both as to finish and color. The smartest outfits we have seen in these are in maroon with the tiniest stripe of red, green, blue, brown, black or white, the stripe being so faint that it is but used to give color to the ensemble. The material is thick, heavy and warm. A lovely shade called tilleul—a tone between dead green and yellow—composes some of the smartest street costumes. This particular shade is considered by many arbiter of fashion, as being one of the best colors of the season. Another becoming tone is known as "dead leaves" and is novel in its combination of a sort of dull gray with a dash of brown and red. Popular Shades of Brown. All the shades of brown are sought, except those in intensely dark dyes. Navy blue is always smart, but unless it is in some soft material the effect is apt to be hard and old, and this is the case with whipcord and serge. A lovely new tone called motebrown is attractive in all the modish woolen stuffs, and there are some very charming models in such color and materials. A stunning tailored twopiece model was of thick soft wool of the peat de chamois sort and the trimming was a flat braid matching the material in color. The clever way in which the braid was applied and the great fur collar dyed to match the THE LADY OF THE BALLROOM The gown here illustrated consists of a swathing of mother-of-pearl Ninon veiled with blue net. it has a beaded lace band passing under the drapery and a back pleat of sapphire-blue velvet. The hat is of white Ninon lined with blue velvet. tones of the costume furnished the exquisite detail of the finished costume. In the same exhibit with this excellent model was another gown worthy of mention. This was in a beautiful shade of brown and was fashioned of heavy chiffon and moire. There was a full underskirt of the chiffon having a drapery of the supple lustrous moire forming the lower part of the skirt and running up at the left front to the high waist line. This treatment allowed the underskirt of full chiffon showing in a sort of panier at the left side, while on the right side the chiffon was draped. The sides of the bodice and sleeves were of chiffon and the moire was employed in the plain bodice front. A line of dark fur trimmed the sleeves, neck and bottom of the skirt. Three-Piece Suits As the season advances more interest is shown in three-piece suits, says the Dry Goods Economist, especially styles which show a coat made of velvet or novelty cloth and the dress developed in broadcloth, peau de souris, zibeline or similar materials. The coats of these suits are usually made in modified cutaway outline, the measurements in the back extending half the skirt length. A favorite design for the dresses of these costumes shows the long draped skirt. This drapery is usually arranged well toward the back, although some styles show the drapery effects toward the front, this being formed by looping up the side front in folds, which are caught in with the side seam. For this draping extra length is allowed in the skirt measurement. Belt Garniture. The smart belt for lingerie dresses is of narrow black velvet ribbon and has one loop that stands up and two long ends that are finished in a horizontal line. A huge, loose petaled artificial rose of some color unknown to botanists is fastened into the belt at one side of the waist line. The blue rose is immensely popular, while mauve and orange roses are considered very smart. mousseline takes the shape of a roll collar, and three frills of the same material finish the orange sleeves. The skirt of this costume is most original. There is a wide panel front, on which from the waist to the knees come wide overlapping frills of the mousseline. The rest of the skirt is quite plain.
