CIRCULATION eressesescsccccs 4413 RN e 1901, average THE DOLLAR MARK IN THE RACE 1t would be useless to deny that the dolfar figures comspicuously in all po- litical contests, and it has become such a factor that in most states of the un- ion it 1s declared that no poor man can be elected governor, whatever his qual- ifications. It is apparently said for a truth in this state, Massachusetts and Ver- mont and In the last named state the | question is being discussed whether the man greasy with dollars has a smoother run for the ‘overnorsmp than the man equipped with brains and | wbility. The Newport Express says upon this subject: “The first qualification to- ward a poor man being governor of Vermont is to becoms rich. Indeed, we almost consider this to be a qualifi- sation; for, if a man is qualified to yain riches through his own personal »fforts, he is certainly qualified to pandle the reins of government in a Susiness-like way.” The Barre Times says: “A healthy public sentiment against the expendi- lure of money to secure the governor- thip nomination has been developed in Vermont during the last few weeks. It is a sentiment which is worth culti- ating, until the time comes when the yoor men has as much show as the Yich man to get office and that, too, without the packing of some powerful »srganization.” The St. Albans Messenger asks: “Is yvery rich man a statesman simply be- sause he knows how to make money? Is it not possible to think of a well- nigh endless variety of ways in which men may make money and stili be un- Atted for the governorship, indeed be peculiarly disqualified for it because of their money-making 2" And we still have faith in democracy when we see the people making way for the dollar mark and openly rec- ognizing it as a prime factor in gov- srnment, whatever its use.

There is no reason why the govern- ment of the United States should fur- nish business cards free printed on government envelopes; but house bill No. 3075 has been introduced to check this deficit making scheme, declaring “ that from and after the approval of this act it shall be unlawful for the postoffice department, or any officer, head of pureau, or chief of division thereof, to print or have printed, or sell | or offer to sell any stamped envelope bearing upon . it a printed direction giving the name of any individual, firm, or company, Oor any number of any postoffice box or drawer, or any | street number or the name of any building to which it shall be returned if uncalled for or undelivered: Pro- vided, That this shall not apply to those envelopes printed with a return card left blank as to name, address, ‘box, drawer, street, number, or build- ing, and which only give the name of the town or city, with the state, dis- trict or territory.” The postoffice department is trying | to decrease its deficit and the passage of this bill will help, Free printing is giving away work and that is in effect giving away money.

Hats of the moment include Tus- can straws and wide Cavalier brims, all flower-trimmed. In spite of the riot of colors black gloves and black hats are placed above all others. The girlish Russian blouse seems likely to hold its high popularity through another season. EE Large handbags are not now In the best style;the newestare small, made of undressed kid. The tunic will probably be the dis- tinctive note of the season for the colored linen zown. Handsome waists are those of pon- gee, with the Bulgarian embroidery in blues, reds or greens. Some of the prettiest of the French cotton grenadines come in white with ribbon stripes of colors. One of the popular spring hat shapes is of black corded silk, slightly turned up at the side and trimmed with black and yellow plumes. A new wreath for the hair Is of dull gold dalsies, a relief from the ever- present straight band that has so long bound up the hair in the evening. Velvet house gowns of the most dell- cate shades and quite severely tailor- ed have a touch of gilt to give them a cistinct military finish. HOUSEWIFE SUGGESTIONS. For a shiny goat rub either with turpentine or strong coffee. Soiled spots may be.removed from white silk or satin by rubbing them with a fine flannel cloth dipped in a little alcohol or ether. Neufchatel cheese or the old-fashion- ed home-made schimiercase, may be colored a delicate greem ith phta- chio. It is used in making salads an: is very pretty when !ormed into nelts, filled with vegetable salad. Do not be lured by scalloped edges and complicated handles that invite chips and breakages in china. Smooth, firm, plain handles, tops that fit and spouts that pour are infinitely better taste than china that looks as if the designer had been taking a course in curves as a professional pitcher. In dry cake flavors try mixing al- mond and rose together as a flavor for angel food cake. It is delicious. Soap well applied to arawer slides will keep the drawers in furniture and closets from sticking. It is also ef- “fective for doors that stick. A new flavor can be given to cook- | ed prunes by adding a few slices of lemon. Another method 1s to cook them with a bag of spices. For a fancy salad cut red peppers into shreds and sprinkle over the chop- ped lettuce and Fflmlsh with sliced olives, curled parsle; d celery tips.
