CHOOSES INDEPENDENCE

Democratic Editor Will Help Cause of Beveridge.

The Evansville Press, a Democratic newspaper, has come out editorially in support of Senator Beveridge on the ground that the Republican senator has made good in the cause of the people and is deserving of re-election for that reason. The stand taken by the Democratic paper has caused much interest in the state generally. The South Bend Times, another Democratic paper, referring to the incident, says: “There is nothing startling about the independence of the Evansville Press.” The part of the Press editorial which has caused comment follows: “Beveridge has made a good senator and the Press believes he should be sent back to Washington by the Hoosier state to continue the goou work he has so well begun. “What’s the difference so long as the men have been found to be on the square? Call them mugwumps if you wish—the name or brand cuts no figure just so long as the men are fighting for the best interests of their constituents and not playing into the hands of the capitalistic class at the expense of the common people. “What does the Republican party as a party stand for?" What does the Democratic party as a party stand for? There are times when nobody can gnawer those questions to the satisfaction of any faction of either party. “At such times what is an intelligent voter, to do? Vote a ticket merely because his daddy did, or qfter weighing the men, their records'and the measures they represent with an open, unbiased mind, support the men and principles he holds best without regard to party yoke "If our nation is not to perish from the earth, patriots to the end of time will find it necessary to stand out against the order of things inimical, no matter what label they bear. “We all know what Beveridge stands for. He stood In the upper house ar.d raised his voice against corporation rule. He fought against the nefarious Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. He fought for the people’s interests at every stage of the game. "Forget the party name. Look at the men. Study their characters. See what they have done. The time has come when broad-minded men can have no great confidence in a community where there’s no independence of political thought and action. There’s no assurance under hidebound party rule that the right always prevail. The best men and the best measures would be rejected under strict partisanship when bosses apply the party lash for their own selflah interests." Calling cards at the Republican. - : * *.

A GEOMETRICAL ROMANCE.

By Allan P. Ames.

Gertrude Allen was an extremely Pretty girl, with dreamy eyes and a full of captivating foolishness. Jim Etcher was a clean-cut, squareshouldered li/d with as much romance n him as a Belgian block, bi t a busiaess head /hat had gained him a junioi •parlm/ship in u large hardware bouse be;/re he was 30. Ronald Vernoy. wore his hair on his collar an) indorsed a check when he was fortunate enough to possess one, usually ol the wrong end. He earned 530 a woek as a newspaper ciitic, and wrote verses for the minor maga’ zines at 25 cents a line.— There jou have the liiree corners of tlxe tri ingle. “I might marry a h3rd headed business man,” Gertrude told Etcher one evening, when he was unusually per sistent, “but not a man whose business is his only interest. 1 J rn, if you only showed a spark of sentiment well, ’things might be differonr - This explanation, which was "the first really satisfactory one Gertrude had vouchsafed made Jim Etcher think hard all the way home. The result of his cogitations is the second side of the triangle reaching Ronald Vernoy. Etcher fell upon hi 11 ;n his back hall bedroom as l.e was revamping a rej< cted quatrain. Just—what 1 eome to see you about,” he said, catching sight of the manuscript in th epoet's hands. “Vernoy, old man, tell me how you do it?” “I can’t,” replied "Vernoy sententiously; “nobody can. You Just feel it and then you write. If you’re not born that way there’s ne use trying.’ 1 “Just what I feared,"’ sighed the lovelorn Etcher. “Ve.noy, what'll you take for what you’re writing—that roundelay, or whatever you call it?” “This?” said Ronaid. “Why what use would It be to you?” “Never mind the use. How much?” “I have offered it to the Pink Peacock for $15,” replied Vernoy. He refrained from saying that the Pink Peacock had promptly rejected his offer in its customary printed phrase. “I’ll give you 5520 for it,” said Etcer, pulling out liis purse.

“It’s yours,” said Verno.v, passing it over, “out you must promise not to use it in connection with my name.” f “Nothirg further from my intention,” declared the hardwaie merchant. The real significance of Etcher’s parting speech did not dawn upon Ronald Vernoy until iv-o afternoons later when he discovered the nattered quatrain on the little writing desk in Miss Allen’s roceprion room. To his intense indignation his lines had been copied in another hand, and be neath them was the signature “Jim.” Of course there was only one thing for an honorable man to do in a case like this. Jim Etcher had resorted to underham means to forward his suit. When Miss 411e:i entered the room Vernoy Jost no time In explaining how some designing, villain ha.l imposed upon her innocent. love of pcetry and romance. "But now do you know, that the per son who sent me thes? liner did not write them?” she asked, wita a peculiar look. “Know?” snorted Vernoy—it was a refined poetic kind of snort—‘because I wrote theifa mvseif ’ 1 “Jim,” said Gertrude when Etcher called that evening, “Mr. Vernoy says that he wrote that verse you sent me and sold it to you. Is that ‘rue?” Jim Etcher turned fiery red. “Gertrude,” he said, “I thought I’d be willing to do anything to get you, even tell a lie; but when you look at me like that its no use trying. I can’t. Yes, Vernoy wrote that poetry. Is it really so beautiful?” Gertrude moved a step closer before she replied: “Jim, it’s the sickliest mock-senti-ment I ever read. If you had written it I’d never marry you if you were the last man on earth.” You can guess the Q. E. D. Dr. Wurtzel has had greet results in many cases of smallpox, quick cures and no pitting.

IN PRAISE OF CATS.

Th* Moat Individual and Belf-Con tained of Animals, It is th* final proof of the civili**tlon of the French that they have learned to understand the cat In no country, since th* dog-loving Greeks overthrew the maturer culture oi Egypt, has she been a popular idol 01 extorted the reverence of crowds. But in France, at least, there is literary testimony in her favor, and the French intellect has bestowed upon the task of comprehending her talent and a devotion which we "have squandered or the horse and dog. Balzac described the passion of one of Napoleon’s veterans in Egypt for a leopardess, with a sureness of insight and a depth bf feeling that proclaim him a devotee of the cat tribe. Gautier has been eloquent and fantastic about the cat. Loti has been tender and graceful, and his essay on the death of an aged cat has a sincerity and truth which are wanting in his sugared writing about Oriental women. A woman must put self aside who loves a .cat; there is in all the range of sentiment no emotion so entirely disinterested. We have before us a small volume of minor verse which carries this distinguished tradition yet a little farther. It Is a eulogy, relieved by humor and marked by what Is rarer still, a nice and accurate study of cats. M. Alfred Ruffin not only loves cats; he loves them for the true reasons. He loves them for their grace and their elegance, reverences their self-sufficiency and their sublimity, accepts their egotism and feels a becoming awe at the concentration of diabolic vigor which can reveal itself, under the stress of passion, in the limbs of a fireside Tom. He sings the mistress whom no praise can corrupt, the friend whose intimacy flatters no human vanity. He paints her amid rare vases and works or art, admiring herself more than any masterpiece. He delights to tell her of ravages among his precious china, and exclaims as he contemplates the sublimity of her indifference. “One might as well accuse the pyramids.” He tells of the mingled prudence and courage with which she meets the perils of a, street where every journey is an anabasis through barbarian lands. He dwells with a sane and restrained tenderness on the rare movements in her relations with her human servants when her tolerance warms into an almost maternal affection. To respect the cat is the beginning of the esthetic sense. At a stage of culture when utility governs all its judgments, mankind prefers the dog. Let it advance to a level at which It can admire an object of beauty with a disinterested passion, and it will venerate this egoist among animals, who suffices for himself. Only in the mouth of the egoist is egoism in others a matter of reproach. To the cultivated mind the cat has the charm of completeness, the satisfaction which makes a sonnet more than an epic, a fugue more than a rhapsody. The ancients figured eternity as a snake biting its own tail. There will yet "arise a philosopher who will conceive the Absolute as a gigantic and self-satisfied cat, purring as it clasps in a comfortable round its own perfections, and uttering as it purrs that line of Edmund Spenser’s about the Cosmos—“lt loved itself, because itself was fair.” There . is, however, deeper reason, why the cat is, in the domestic heirarchy, a relatively unpopular animal. It Is not content to stand afoot from all human activities; it views them with a disquieting disdain. It is the anchorite who makes our luxuries foolish, the anarchist who rebukes our organizations and our polities. The dog, within the limits of his understanding, must share In all we do, scratch when we dig and retriev* when we hunt. When his understanding fails him, he looks at us with a mute appeal for enlightenment, like some Galatea waiting for the breath of life. The (at in the same circumstances stares severely, winks one eye, and goes to sleep. More than the liltes of the field she rebukes us for our care for the morrow. The student Faust in the old engravings had always a human skull among the vain instruments and the barren alembics in his study. A cat blinking at midnight among your papers and books declares with more eloquence than any skull the vanity of knowledge and uselessness of striving. Mohammed, nursing a cat one day, was minded to rise upon some great errand of revelation and conquest. But, man of action though he was, he was oriental enough to value her passivity. He cut off the sleeve of his robe, and left her seated on it There comes to those who love a cat a further questioning, which is the paralysis of all morality. Why, after all, should one rise at all, and what is worth the sacrifice of a sleeve? The cat enjoys the march of seasons, spins through space with the Oars, and shares # in her quietism the inevitable life of the universe. In all our hurrying, can we do more? She sits among creative work, the indolent spectator of our progress, finking at our questions the malicious eyes of a sphinx. And the real secret of the sphinx, one suspects, was that she alone knew that was no riddl* to answer.—London NatloiL

TRUTH ABOUT WAGES

The Democratic publicity bureau made a bold play for free trade on the argument that wages In England, under free trade, have Increased more than SO per cent In the last thirty years. Grant that English labor draws even double the wages of thirty years ago, what are present facts as to English labor? Here are some of the facts: One in three of the population of England is in poverty today. One in ten of the population of England is on the verge of actual starvation today. Whjat of wages In England, with all the vaunted increase shown in the last thirty years? One instance can be cited to indicate the difference between wages In England and wages In America. Where the American carpenter drew $1 In wages In 1907, the English carpenter, at Bristol, drew 41 cents and one mill. At London the carpenter In 1907 drew $0,491, where the American carpenter received a full dollar. The difference between $1 and $0.491 —a little more than 50 per cent —may be regarded, fairly, as the difference between the English workingman’s standard of living and his opportunity, and the living standard and chance of the American workingman; If free trade means that the American workingman must be satisfied with 49 cents where where he now draws down a dollar, then assuredly the American wage-earner wants no free trade, and the Democrats who renew advocacy of that played-out doctrine might as well shut up shop and cut out their publicity of fallacies.

DEBT NOT YET PAID.

Taggart Blocked In Effort to Square Political Pledge With Patronage. One of Thomas Taggart’s political debts remains yet to be paid. It was planned to square it by handing out the clerkship to the state election board. M. M. Bacheider, chosen by the Taggart men to be election commissioner for the Democrats, proposed Thomas Wright for clerk of the board. He failed to put the little deal across for Taggart. Governor Marshall suggested the name of Everett Maginnis, and succeeded in having his man appointed. Bacheider, of the Taggart machine, refused, flatly, to vote for Marshall’s man. Governor Marshall, just as flatly, refused to vote for Bachelder’s choice. Thus ft Btood at the first session of the board of election commissioners. Charles O. Roemler, Republican commissioner, to avoid Democratic strife, and in order to get business started, withdrew his Republican aspirant for the clerkship and voted with Governor Marshall for Maginnis. } This minor detail of politics is given to show how well Taggart and Marshall get along together, and how they agree, even down to the smallest details of plum-pudding distribution among the faithful. Gerald Relgal, Oskaloosa, la., and Walter Potters, Albany, N.;Y., youthful burglars, were sentenced to ten to twenty years in prison Monday for stealing less than $lO worth of property. The lads pleaded guilty and were sentenced promptly.
