The “Danger’” in
Straus’ Candidacy
Oscar S. Straus, Drogressive
candidate for the New York gov
ernorship, unites genuine desire
to help humanity with the power
to carry it out. As a diplomat
and a cabinet minister by choice
of two presidents;asa member of
the country’s arbitration body,
working for the love of it, day by
day achieving social justice and
industrial peace; by his unselfish
endeaver, a man who represents
in himself the leveling of sectari
anism and race prejudice. he has
proved his title as a champion of
humanrights. Itis the greatest
index of the vital power and the
penetration everywhere of the
Progressive movement that heis
recognized as the lgreatest ‘‘dan
ger’”’ to the bosses and machines
of the old parties. —Boston Jour

thing better than strawberries

People Trust It, Says Woodrow
Wilson, and It Must
Make Good.
Sea Girt, N. J.—Woodrow Wilson at
the “Little White House” at Sea Girt
is daily called upon to demonstrate his
ability as a ready speaker.
There is not a day passes but what
he meets various delegations who call
to assure him of their support.
In speaking of political machines to
the Brooklyn Democratic club Gover
nor Wilson sald: “Machines are bad,
but an organization may be very es
sential. For instance, I have been
surrounded by an organization here ia
New-Jersey while doing my best work.
A machine useg its political opporta
nities for the selfish ends of its mem
bers. No members of our organization
would ever think of doing that. Pub
lic opinion in New Jersey has drawn
the distinction. It has killed the ma
chines, and it is going to keep the or
ganization going.
. “It seems to me that we are stand
ing in the presence of something high
er than allegiance to the Democratic
party. The country has been disap
pointed in the Republican party, and it
is turning to the Democratic party.
That party is willing to show the way
toward those things which must be
realized.
“Some gentlemen seem to find it
easy to make personalities out of poli
tics, but it seems to me that whenever
that is done politics is debased.
“Men who are in search of reform
are now resorting to the Democratic
party, because, for my own part, I do
not know where else they will turn to
expect the results. There is po dis
counting the strength and serviceabil
ity of a united party,and the splendid
part is that the Deraccratic party is
united.
“Speaking seriously, nothing affords
me more genuine pleasure than to re
ceive such greetings from men in Jer
sey who have at least tested my quali
ties. Because you have known me
at close range and if you will be kind
enough to vouch for me perhaps the
rest of the country will be credulous
of your report.
“I have spent a great deal of time
since I became governor of New Jer
gsey defending your character. It was
supposed in the old days, when the
board of guardians was in charge oX
the state, that you were all of ycu
disposed tc give the most monopelis
tic trusts in the country a great ring:
ing welcome in New Jersey.
“New Jersey was known as the
mother of trusts—a very troublesome
and questionable family—and I had to
spend my time outside New Jersey as
suring the people of the Union that it
had not been the fault or the disposi
tion of the people of New Jersey that
there were certain gentlemen who had
undertaken to carry the Republican
party in their pockets and to adminis
ter independently of the rank and file
of Republicans in the state.
“New Jersey is progressive, but the
TUnited States is progressive, and we
have here merely a delightful sample
of the people of the United States.
“Now, these people are not bent on
destroying anything, but they are bent
on setting everything in order; they
are bent upon justice; they are bent
upon seeing to it that the people in
general are partners of the govern
ment, as I was trying to show the
other day. And the Democratic party
is now placed under a peculiar respon
sibility. It has to prove that it is
the worthy instrument of that zeal on
the part of the people of the United
States. If it does not prove it now it
will never be given another chance to
prove it. No party that proves un
faithful to that ideal will ever again
be trusted by the people of America.
And therefore we are standing at a
turning point in our politics. We must
make good or go out of business. In
the vernacular, it is a case of ‘put up
or shut up,” because words are going
to be discounted. Nothing will be hon
ored except the actual carrying out of
puch programs as sensible men may
anite in for the common benefit.”

That Actlve Germ.

Tacoma Fligures of Speech.
A Tacoma lawyer, arguing a divorce
case recently, closed his address to
the jury as follows: “My client is a
beautiful woman, so beautiful that the
sun seems to stand still while the
stars gaze at her. Truthful! Falsity
files from her even as the jack rabbit
flits from the greyhound. Sweet!

About Tea.
A good tea may be made a bad tea,
but a bad tea cannot be made a good
tea, says the Lancet, except perhaps
by very skilful blending. Excessive
infusion will spoil a good tea, but
aven a short infusion of a bad tea
may be as objectionable as an exces
sive infusion cf a good tea. On physi
ological grounds, therefore, the con
sumer of high quality teas runs less
risk of digestive disturbance, provided
the tea is made properly.
“Ne Temere” Decree.
The “Ne Temere” decree, so called
from its first two words in Latin (“Let
no one rashly”), is the official decla
ration of the bishop of Rome, to all Ro
man Catholics the world over, calling
upon them to abstain from intermar
riages with those of other creeds, and
jeclaring that Roman Catholics must
be obedient to the rules of their
shurch regarding such marriages, and
their . solemnization by their regular
clergy.
Relic of Sebastopol,
A Mr. Ormond of Portland, Me,,
has a piece of the bell of St. Nicho
lag’s church in Sebastopol. It was
secured by his father, who served all
through the Crimean war. During the
bambardment of Sebastopol all the
spires of the church were demolished
When the allied armies took the city
some of the soldiers cut up the bell
and Mr. Ormond’s father got one of
the pieces.
Need of Greater Production.
If every immigrant that shall enter
the ports of the United States anc
Canada during the next decade were tc

production resulting would be none toc
great for the reasonable needs of the
people who have to be supplied—New

Cleaning Glass Bottles.
A glass water bottle, when constant
iy used, soon becomes discolored. This
may easily be cleaned by pouring a
little vinegar into the bottle and add
mg a pinch of salt. Allow this teo
stand for several hours; then rinse
with clear water. The bottle will be
perfectly clear and bright.
Key Ring for a Bride.
At a marriage service at Chelten:
ham parish church recently, it was
found that the bridegroom had forgot
ten the ring. At the suggestion of
the clergyman the key of the church
door, which had a ring at the end, was
commandeered, and the ceremony was
completed.—Pall Mall Gazette.
Making Reproof Effective.
Being to advise, or reprehend any
one, consider whether it ought to be
in public or in private, presently or
at some other time, and in what terms
to do it; and in reproving show no
signs of choler, but do it with sweet
ness and mildness.—George Washing

“The first time she saw'him she gave

Change in Doll Industry.
The doll industry in Germany is
now commencing to make the ‘“char
acter doll” in restricted numbers. The
model is made by an artist, and the
molds are then copied from this mod
el. The painting of these dolls is
done with especial care, and, conse
quently, their price is considerabiy
higher than that of the commoner
type of doll.
Considerable Begonia.
Mrs. Frank Ireiand of Wilton, Me.,

When Clay Pipes Were Popular.
Justin McCarthy went to London in
1852 and found clay pipes in fashion.
“It was thought quite the right thing

man stuck a clay pipe in his mouth
and pretended to be a real gentle
