A GLORIOUS VICTORY

THE MOST STAGGERING BLOW that has been given the democratic party since Bryan was nominated, is the nomination of Charles S. Hughes to succeed himself as governor of New York. All doubt now as to how New York will go is past. Its 96 electoral voters will be fofnd on election in the republican column, unless there is an upheaval, the like of which was never known in politics. Even the democrats have to admit that Mr. Hughes has made a splendid governor for New York. He has shown that he believes in the common people and not in the politicians. These latter he has badly routedThey did not, in convention assembled, succeed in even putting up a good t'zhz against him. His triumph was complete and overwhelming. Politic.ruia, it doesn't matter whether they be democrat or republican, have a ba.-u time going before the people this year with rings in their noses and strings tied to them. The democratic leaders in this state in linking themselves with the brewery combine are now learning the folly of their slavery. Lawabiding people in this state do not propose to stand for anything like. When Thomas H. Marshall, the democratic candidate for governor, denounced the ministers because they didn't follow in the train of the brewers, he set the oters of the state about his ears. It is no use to make the welkin ring with denunciation of Watson and Hanly. The democrats are in bad. As goes New York, so goes Indiana. i . NOT REASON THAT GOVERNS MANKIND.

BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS REGARDING the most beautiful handiwork of the Creator woman crop out now and then despite the heat of politics. In the "Garden of Epicurus" we read: "What constitutes society? Woman; she is its sovereign arbitress; it exists for her and for her exclusively. But woman forms the great educating influence for man; she it is trains him in the gifts that charm courtesy, discretion, and the pride that shudders to be self-assertive. She it is who teaches a few the art of pleasing, and all the useful art of not displeasing. From her we learn the lesson that human society is more complex and more delicately adjusted than is generally suspected by the politicians of the cafes. Last but not least, it is she brings home to U3 the great truth that the ideal3 of sentiment and the visions of faith are invincible forces, and that it Is by no means reason that governs humankind." WILL BE JUST A TALKER AFTER ALL. THAT NOVEMBER 4 WILL FIND Mr. Bryan no nearer the presidency than he is today, is becoming surer every day. He will be just an orator, just a talker after all- A story apropos of Mr. Bryan's unchanged prospects is going the rounds. A laborer wa3 converted to the adventist belief and his followers in the belief set the day for Gabriel's coming and the laborer prepared" for it The day came. The laborer donned his white robe and went out into the fields to await the coming meeting with the celestial throng. The day passed until It was late in the afternoon, and the laborer, having risen at the stroke of midnight on the morn of the eventful day, grew drowsy, and throwing himself down upon a pile-of hay, fell asleep at his watch. Boys discovered him, and with the natural mischievousness of boys, they set fire to the hay. The smoke and the heat soon woke the slumbering laborer, and, sitting up with a start, he cried with the anguish of the lost. "Just as I expected! In hell, after all!" THE RESULTS OF THE elections in Vermont and Maine have signified that both those states are flying the flag of hope. "Go ahead," they say to the rest of the country. During the next two months a good many persons are to get their jobs back because Vermont and Maine have gone republican. They have done something for their own pantries,. but even more conspicuously for the larders of those that they do not number among their citizens. WHAT SLAVES WE are to the conventionalities we are after all. And yet not all of us. We know a man who, when his wife is out of town, crumbles doughnuts in his coffee and thus snatches a fearful joy and revives his youth the old trick ho did when mother wasn't looking. - '".' THE NEW YORK HERALD is' daily italicizing an inquiry a3 to as to whether Bryan could deliver the goods if elected- This looks as though the weather-vane might be getting ready to shift.

Talks By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye. THAT GIRL OF YOURS. "In seven-tenths of the 3,000 cases of Insanity among women "which have come under my notice the cause was directly traced to the malign influences of childhood." So says an insanity expert. What he means is that our modern system of rearing girls does not permit them to properly develop their girlhood. Rather startling? - If you will look about you, you will note evidences of the false system. TIow seldom do you see a developed, vigorous, physically forceful girl! If you look into the schoolrooms you will discover many pretty faces aglow with intellect, but you will also see droop-; Ing shoulders, evidences of weak spines, sunken chests, blanched faces, lack of Initiative life forces. Is it not true? Where are the girls who are to be the Spartan mothers of the race? You will find them not among the native but among the foreign born." Where are the "tomboys" the blithe, lusty, wide hipped, deep chested, agile creatures, cheeks ruddy with red corpuscles the climbing, romping; . laughing, whistling girls? You will find some of them In the country districts, a few in city gymnasiums. What our girls need is more of exercise and less of repression, less of primping and pampering, more of sunlight and air, less of cosmetics and chocolates. Aslc the doctors. If you have a strong girl of high spirits, be proud of her. Do not try to tone down her superabundant vitality. She will need all she can store up some day. Let her run wild like an Indian maiden. MAKE A STRONG ANIMAL. OF HER first of all. Tough muscles, red blood, action, appetite, spirits FOR TXIESE TTIINGS IS SHE A GIRL. Never mind the freckles on her nose, the tan on her cheek. They will come off. Never mind her long stride and fence climbing agility. Plenty of time to tone down. Even a hoidenish swagger is infinitely to be preferred to scrambled brains, overwrought nerves and overpolished manners and doc tor's bills. Some day that tomboy of yours will marry. What a wife and mother she will make! tier children will rise tip and call her blessed. Don't coop your girl. Don't treat her like a house bloom. Let the girl run. If you have a house or a room to rent you can inform 40,000 people by advertising; In the classified columns of The Tim es. feated in the general elections in Canada. 1S98 Massachusetts monument dedicated on the battlefield of Antitam. 1903 The inhabitants of Kastoria massacred by Turks. 1906 President Palma presented his resignation to the Cuban congress. 1907 Oklahoma ratified the new constitution and elected a democratic stat e ticket and legislature. THIS IS MY 89th BIRTHDAY. James A. Calder. Hon. James A. Calder, minister of education and provincial treasurer of Saskatchewan and one of the foremost men in public life of that province of Canada, was born in Oxford county, Ontario, September 17, 1869. Two years later he journeyed farther west to accept a position of principal of the high school at Moose Jaw. In 1894 he was appointed a school inspector and his jurisdiction extended so as to include the entire territory west of Moose Jaw. Later Mr. Calder became secretary to the council of public instruction which preceded the department of education. As deputy commissioner of the department and later as minister of education he did much to build up the public schools of Saskatchewan. When he was appointed there were in all 560 school districts in the territories. Today there are no fewer than 2000 and the number is steadily increasing. In addition to his work as an educator Mr. Calder has attained considerable prominence as a lawyer. RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS It is a fitting day for the special session to begin tomorrow gloom for the demos. If wishes were horses we'd probablybe nil wasting our substance for gasolene. Mr. David Bennett Hill is ominously still about the nominee of the party that made him famous. THE REAL TRAGEDY OF LIFE IS, THAT IT IS SUCH A COMEDY. Aa Epic News Story "Battleaxe," the Brent correspondent of the Henderson (Neb.) Tribune,' wrote his news in rhyme again last week, according to the Denver Post. Here it Is: Wednesday night old Martin Groat Got a fishbone in his throat, Cussed around in awful style.

A nineteen-year-old blushing blonde the other day kissed Governor Hughes right on the whiskers. Nineteen-year-old blondes are pretty lucky, aren't they, Charles? Life cannot bankrupt any man whom a little child believes In and loves. It is reported that there is a new trust in coffee. It has been so long that moat of us have tasted any real coffee that it doesn't matter much anyway. It doesn't take some people very long to weary of love. Today It in, "Oh, will he never come." Tomorrow it is, "Oh, would I knew a way to make him stay away." Willie Goes to the Circus. People do not outgrow their love for circuses.
