ROOSEVELT’S LETTER.
President Roosevelt’s letter of acceptance has been received by the Independent press of the country with many expressions of regret, some show of temper and In some Instances with evident contempt. The President seemed to think he was In a slugging match and that the dignity of the presidential office could not be lowered by anything he might say. The letter la disappointing to Republicans, who expected a calm, dispassionate discussion of public affairs, and has received praise only from the hidebound party organs that are in the pay of the party and must indorse all that is said and done by Its leaders. The Philadelphia Record reflects the general sentiment of the thinking class when It says of the letter: “President Roosevelt's letter of acceptance stretches to the dimensions of a pamphlet. It is longer than some of the gospels. That part of it which is at once really pertinent and important is contained in the first sentence. The rest is mainly a tirade; an unwarranted Imputation of insinoerlties, Inconsistencies and misstatements upon the part of his political opponents, and an equally unwarranted brag of perfection of his own administrative exploits and policies. On this basis of blame on the one hand and boast on the other he builds up his argument and makes his appeal to the country. “There never before has been issued from the White House on any occasion a missive of a public character couched in language of such studied insult to one-half of rhe people of the United States. It. read 3 like a speech from the throne of a God-anointed ruler instead of an address of a public servant giving an account of his stewardship. It is a breaking forth which makes only too evident, what has been going on in the bottled-up seclusion of Oyster Bay."
The New York World says that Judge Parker’s decisions as Chief Justice of the court of appeals upon questions affecting labor unions and the rights of individual wage-earners were commended in resolutions adopted by the Workingmen’s Political League at a meeting held in that, city recently. This organization is an incorporated state body of representative union men. The resolutions express the warm approval and appreciation of organized labor of Judge Parker’s attitude toward union labor, and declare that “during his judicial life he never struck a blow at labor, but has made the strongest argument ever set forth in support of labor statutes.” All of which is beyond question. Judge Parker has always been absolutely just and fair in his treatment of all interests. That is what makes him such a splendid candidate. The same quality will make him a splendid President, also.
Republican “prosperity” struck the American Steel and Wire Works at South Sharon, Pa., last week when, after a long period of idleness, the employes returned to work and were notified of a2O per cent reduction. They refused to accept it and are now on strike. Coincident with this “prosperity" at South Sharon, ten thousand men were thrown out at Chicago by the closing of the plants of the Chicago Harvester company, a trust that controls the manufacture of farm machinery. The manager thought there would be a “readjustmnet” of wages when the plant opened up again for business. Of course, a “readjustment” of wages by a trust means a reduction to the employes.
A Republican organ asks: “How Is it that there are In New York and New England today more savings banks deposits (above $2,000,000,000) than there were in the whole country in 1894 ($1,750,000,000)?” One reason is that the country is ten years older and richer. Another and important reason is that the bursting of so many balloons of “high finance,” like the shipbuilding trust, and the fatal depression in stocks, like the steel trust “securities,” have led thousands of persons not wage earners to put their money in savings banks. —New~¥ork World.
The business men of the entire country want peace. They believe the country will have a period of prosperity during the next four years If nothing occurs to cause a loss of confidence in existing values. They feel that If Judge Parker were president nothing of a disturbing character would occur, and that the government would be administered strictly in accordance with the laws and the constitution—Savannah News.
President Roosevelt has not yet replied to that very pathetic letter from General Tyner pleading for a public withdrawal of the President’s cruel aspersions on his character. The General was Indicted, tried and instantly acquitted of complicity In frauds In the department of Justice. The President declared him guilty before he was indicted and has since refused to retract the charge.
The Republican papers that have been finding consolation in the returns from the Vermont election should turn to Maine for some more of the same kind. They declared Vermont's vote Indicated "drift” to the Republicans and, doubtless, they will regard Democratic gains In Maine in the same light
One only needs to look at the record of Indiana legislatures since the Republicans came into power to see that the longer the lease runs the greater the burden which they place upon the people.
EDWARD J. FOGARTY.
Edward J. Fogarty, nominee for the office of Secretary of State, was born in South Bend on April 22, 1866, and his entire life has been spent in the city of his nativity. He was educated at the local parochial schools and at an early age, following in his father’s footsteps, learned the bricklayer’s trade. His skill as a mechanic, together with his popularity with the
EDWARD J. FOGARTY.
men and the high order of executive ability of which he early gave evidence, caused him to he eagerly sought out by prospective builders, and a number of the most substantial structures in the city were erected under his superintendence. In 1902 Mr. Fogarty was nominated for mayor of South Bend, and after vigorous personal campaign transformed the normal Republican plurality into a Democratic one of more than one thousand votes. How fully he measured up to the responsibilities of his new position and how well he discharged its duties is indicated by the simple statement that two years later he was re-elected by an increased majority. Hi 3 gains, as shown by the returns, were made among the business and professional men of the city, a class that is quick to manifest its appreciation of an honest, progressive and efficient administration of public affairs.
ROOSEVELT VS. ROOSEVELT.
In Roosevelt’s life of Benton he took strong ground against the principle of protection, and among other things declared: “Political economists have pretty generally agreed that protection is vicious in theory and harmful in practice.” But in his speech of acceptance said: “It is vital to the farmer that the protection principle lie maintained.” In a message to congress on Dec. 7, 1903, speaking of corruption in the public service, he said: “By similar means —that is. through frauds, forgeries and perjuries and by shameless briberies, the laws relating to the proper conduct of the public service in general, and to the due administration of the Postoffice Department have been notoriously violated.” But in his speech of acceptance he doubled on himself and declared: “Never has the administration of the government been on a higher or cleaner level; never has the public work of the nation been more honestly or efficiently done.” Republicans who have sung the praises of the President have been wont to call him “fearless” and “brave," though at times “impulsive." But what must be thought of a President who thus, for the sake of votes, praises conditions which he once denounced as infamous? Is this another case of his “erratic genius”?
The Republican organs are trying to make capital out of the fact that Mr. Bryan will make a number of speeches In this state, and are arguing that he may drive away some of the Democrats who differed from him in 1896. Of course the wish is father to the thought, for no Democrat, no matter what may have been his views eight years ago, would object to Bryan or any other man making speeches for Parker. Mr. Bryan will be in Indiana and he will be on the same platform with men who once opposed him. This is the picture that causes the hysterical walls from the Republican organs. It is a picture of harmony and Democratic harmony in Indiana means Democratic victory.
Colonel William Haynes, who was the Republican candidate for congress In the South Bend district in 1888, has declared for Judge Parker. Colonel Haynes is a well-known educator, being a member of the faculty of Notre Dame University. He casts his fortunes with the Democrats in this campaign because he believes that President Roosevelt has deflected the government from that wise yet conservative policy in which it was directed for a century and which kept the country free from the entanglements that are so common to Europe. He believes in a “world power,” but It should be a power gained through peace and not through war.
Senator Fairbanks has not yet learned to let go. How strange that a millionaire should persistently hold on to a $5,000 a year Job when Judge Parker, a comparatively poor man, voluntarily gives up $17,000 a year when nominated for the presidency.
Chairman Cortelyou is not pointing with pride to the injunction which put the meat trusts out of business. That Injunction is filed away in the dust covered archives,
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Pepper Stew. Remove the seeds from a dozen green peppers and boll half an hour in lightly salted water. When tender, take up and set one side. Tut into saucepan a half dozen fresh tomatoes, a sliced onion, a sprig of parsley, a couple of cloves and a tenspoonful of salt. Add cold water, and bring to a boil. Simmer until the tomatoes are pulpy, then strain. Put a tablespoonful each of butter and flour into a frying pan, and as soon as melted and “bubbly” add the strained tomatoes. As soon as thickened and creamy put in the peppers. Simmer five minutes, taking care not to crush the peppers, and serve. Picture* In the Kitchen. Hang at least one picture in your kitchen in such a place that it will meet your eye a score of times daily. Let it be a landscape or a figure or a picture "that tells a story,” only be sure that it is not a scene that reproduces something of the daily routine. If practicable change the picture for another once a week or month. Good prints of the best pictures can be had as lotv as a cent each. Take a- look at the picture often, seeing what It means or rather realizing each time what it says to you personally. This will break up the monotohy. which is the deadliest thing about housework. Cse* of Coat Oil. A few drops on your dusting cloth will brighten your furniture as well as prevent dust from flying from the cloth. One tablespoonful added to each boilerful of water will lessen labor as well as whiten your clothes when washing. A few drops added to your boiled starch will make ironing easier. A few drops on a hinge or roller which formed a bad habit of squeaking will insure a speedy cure. A few drops added to the Water witli which windows are to be washed will save time and labor. Eliminate* Danner. There is always a certain amount of danger attached to the washing of the outside of the windows, especially in the upper stories, as the narrow width of the window sills allows but scant space on which to sit, and many a housewife, even if she lias plenty of nerve, is afraid of slipping. For this
ADJUSTABLE WINDOW SASH.
reason the cleaning cannot be done thoroughly and seldom looks as nice as if the cleaning could be very easily and thoroughly accomplished and danger of accident eliminated. In this frame the sash is hung on trunnions and hinged at the middle, so that it may be readily swung horizontally entirely around to bring the exterior of the glass in the inside of the room and as readily reversed. The sashes carrying the glass balance each other,’so that the raising or lowering of one produces the opposite movement in the other. To Mend Kid Slippers. White or colored kid slippers often be* come shabby in appearance because the kid has been peeled off the heels. If the slippers are otherwise in good condition the heels can be made to look like new by cutting from the top of an old glove of the same color a piece of kid large enough to stretch and paste about the heel. The upper edge can be securely pushed under the sole of the shoe and neatly trimmed at the bottom. If not worn until perfectly dry the result is most satisfactory. Air the Bedclothes. Teach the boys as well as the girls the proper way to put the bedclothes to air over two chairs in the morning and also occasionally give the boys a lesson in simple cooking by having them help prepare breakfast The lad who can make a good cup of coffee, broil a steak and serve them will lose nothing of manliness, but may find the knowledge useful in after life.—Pilgrim. The Usefal Oaloa. All white meats gain in flavor from a delicate onion admixture with the gravy. The onion is to be grated and put over the meat before it has just finished roasting and then blended by basting. In this way one avoids the burned onion slices which sometimes result from other methods and which have, in a way, caused the addition of onion to be regarded with disfavor. Cluaiaa Water Betties. To clean water bottles and decanters mix together half a gill of vinegar and a handful of salt Shake well in the decanters to be cleaned, and no matter how discolored this treatment has been tried and found successful. Staia Fer Plae Weed. To stain pine wood the color of black walnut use a mixture of one-fourth of a pound of asphaltum, one-half pound of beeswax and one gallon of spirits of turpentine. If not thick enough to spread well, add more wax.
