The way in which Mr. Hoffstot, who is changed with conspiracy and bribery, met the press when he was notified that he was to be held for trial, just shows what eommand a real general of high finance has over himself. He did mot get excited. When asked to talk for publication he simply said: “I always leave business behind me at fhe offloe, and now that I am home I cannpot discuss this matter. Tomor- row when I go downtown and look things over I may have something to say, but until then you must excuse me.” Immerged in pusiness and comfront- ed4 with trouble and perhaps visions of prisoms rather than palaces, this great mamager of corporations and muddler of corporation problems locks everything up in a room and takes his lightened mind home with him. He has forgotten the doings of the day so that he ecannot talk =about them. “Now I am home,” he says, “I cannot discuss this matter.” Those who think that Washington could have told a lie had he desired to, will quite likely feel sure that Mr. Hoffstot could have dis- cussed the matter had he wanted to. ‘Those who are inclined to be cred- ulous are amazed by his power to for- get business for the sake of taking in home pleasures and home comforts. He is a real master of self, and this indicates that he has power in re- =erve and does not feel alarmed. Mr. Hoffstot knows how to leave his business behind him, which is a modern-day sign that he is not often likely to get left. WOMEN GAMBLERS. The clergyman who publishes as if it was news that women are gamblers has mever yet taken the right view of life. He has not thought of life as a gamble or the chance men and women take in matrimonial schemes. Since marriage has for many ages been something of a lottery, why should it be strange that the women take to chance games as readily as the men? ‘What are shrewd women doing today in the way of selecting husbands? Are they not looking more anxiously for the winner than the lover? They are rather imclined to the view that where achlevement resides love is as sure to eome in at the door as it is to go out of the window when grim want has established itself. The chance game is well established and popular ‘with eertain classes of both sexes and the erime is the same by whomsoever committed. Women gamble at cards and in the stock market often just as skilfully as men and if they roll in li-gotten geln are no worse than the men who do the same thing. Man makes a game of life and politics and ‘woman not only appears to be abdle to sit in either game with confidence, but offen syceeeds in making game of the shrewdést of men. THE SPRINGFIELD CASE. The d&etectives of Springfleld have commanded the admiration of the reeding public of New England for the successful detection of Spencer. Under the gulse of reepectability, he was doing an ever-imereasing crimi- mal business, and his habits of indus- try were such that he was really Hv- ing abeve suspicion. But for the loss of his locket he wmight have played the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde game for years to come. That was not what imnight have been considered a first- class clue, for with meore distinctive clues than this murderers have re- mained unidentified. It is gratifying to know that this killing of an inno- cent girl @d not end in another mys tory added to the annals of crime. i= probable that the confession has raved Speacer from the electric chair. 2nd will result in his imprisonment for. life, which, vlewed from any point, is a punishment worse than death. “The deteetives of Springfield did the community a great service and they ame entitled to the consideration and aise which such quick and accurate ¥k under difficult cireumstances de- serves, It ir what Spencer says is true, the man whe Hes to his wife constantly loves her; and the man who is fear- ful he may be discovered is not wor- ried By the injustice or brutality of his offences. This does not seem to be rafional. Ap old resident who remembers just sugh = bright and early spring as this fifty years ago, remembers that there was three feet of snow on the level before the end of April The sowth has learned one good les- son. When it comibines to push the priee of cotton toe high, it stops its o%n mills. map who thinks Roosevelt met - his Waterlos at Rome should remem- kfi[&ummmmm A BLI’H“ IN DISGUISE. It is not likely that the cockroach will have a feeling of gratitude for the student who discovered that he is or that housekeepers who have a horror of them will regard them with more favor since they are proclaimed to be ‘beneficial. This is what a writer in Good Housekeeping has to say of the roach: “The roach is very cleanly in its habits, and thus resembles a cat, just as the common housefly may be said to resemble a dog that comes in dirty and muddy from the street. When the fly carries disease germs and the ‘bacteria that breed in filth to the food on the dinner table, the cockroach is not an unclean insect. Instead, if you ‘watch him, you will see that he is con- stantly stopping in his short runs to lick his legs and wings with his tongue. The roach is also a great help in devouring crumbs and waste about the kitchen and dining room. In the tenements of New York’s East Side the Croton bugs do the work that the housewives leave undone. The insects clean from the cracks and crevices of ill-kept kitchen the food and refuse that would otherwise decay and cause evil results. Besides, the cockroaches it the food supply rumns short will make inroads into the bedrooms and ‘hunt and devour other insects, such as bedbugs, that make life unbearable. If food is kept out of the house for a week or o and there are any bed- bugs to be found the cockroaches will eat them and their eggs. Taken alto- gether, i unclean houses the cock- roach is a blessing.” The fact that they are a living pro- test against uncleanliness in the home will just inspire those who are plagued by them to make sure that they are promptly despatched. Living evidence of this <ort is not wanted in =ny house. THE SUNDAY PROBLEM. The Sunday observance problem is something which it does not pay to discuss—something the judicious avold if possible, Mayor Hooker of Hart- ford attributes his defeat to this issue. Describing how the guestion works in politics, Mayor Hooker said: “Pious people, who wished to have Sunday kept according to the customs of the Puritans, did@ not vote for him because he favered a liberal interpre- tation of the Sunday observance laws, and those who wished to have mov- ing picture entertainments on Sunday did not vote for him because of the closing of the entertainments during his administration. He favored liberty for the people, but was powerless to have his wishes put into effect. The observance of Sunday in the opinion of the people is not unlike the tariff opinions which would make the products of their section dear and of all other sections cheap. Every man has his idea of freedom for himself and family, and of restraint for the other fellow. The restraint for the other citizen is the fruit of friction, and there are nearly as many points of friction as there are families. There are issues which were never designed to be fooled with, and Sunday observ- ance appears to be one of them so far as political candidates and prospects are concerned. THE ANTI-FLY CRUSADE. Commenting upon The Bulletin's defense of the American woman as a fly-fighter, the St. Albans Messenger says: “All this is charming in the woman, but not much damaging to the fly. “The presemt crusade seeks to em- phasize two important points: First that people have not heretofors un- derstood what a menace to public health the common housefly is; sec- ond, that the old-time methods of the housewife to get rid of the little pests were just so much time and energy wasted because they accomplished no permanent good. A general crusade against this insect, a crusade in which every household in the land might join, and one that began with the de- struction of eggs in the very breeding places of the flies, would soon prac- tically rid America of this dangerous inhaditant. It is worthy trying.” The American woman believes more in a flyless howse than lan poison pans. She knows with what facility files can wade in poison and then walk on the pie or drop into the milk or the soup, She has no time to hunt for flles’ nests or eggs; she just screems in the house, warns every male mem- ‘ber of the family to keep the screens closed, hunts them te their lair every mnight by lamplight and gathers in every mother’'s son of them, and then retires to rest in peace. She can give the board of health and the crusaders points in fly-slaying; and she would be ashamed to have a dozen @iscevered in the whole house, anyway. EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘The republicans of Indiana are showing that republican state plat- forms can insurge, too. Now that the country knows that Chancellor Day cannot endorse Taft it is reassured that he is all right. A Kansas singer writes: The daffo- dils are nice, serene and shy; but what can beat a slice of rhubarb pie! It is a good thing for Collier's Weex™ 1y that the people have a better opin- ion of it than Secretary Ballinger has. Happy thought for today: The man who kills time would not know a square deal should it be thrust upon him, The Philadelphia doctor who says automobiling is sood for weak hearts doesn’t think how expensive the ex- ercise is.

Its conditions made more than $10,000 worth of trouble a year for him. Since New York celebrates a mar- riage every 13 minutes and grants only one divorce in eight hours, she can feel secure. It is a good time for airships to show the people what they can do now, but they de not appear to be flying of nights. ‘The last century this government spent a half-billion in caring for the Indians and most of them have gone where they can make no more trouble. The lawyers are weaving a web of mystery about Wolter's case. The pre- tence that he is a victim of hypnosis looks like a legal imvention to defeat the ends of justice. “The vermiform appendix is of abso- Jutely no value to amy one™ “Mine ‘saam-wonth $500 o iy sostar’ ler comes, tell him thing in the morning. I shall dine out this_evening.” % “She never suspects im the world,” Jeannette declared an hour later as she notes in her diary. ‘“But, then, she is such a dear,” she reflected, somewhat <conscience-strioken. “Anyone could get along with her.” . The new butler proved an unusual man, Hig alert and ready bearing, which he tried in vain to conceal by the meek droop of his shoulders, be- longed rather to the man of the world than to a menial who was obliged to bow to_the caprice of the wealthy. In- deed, Jeannette felt rather reluctant about giving him orders, but, she rea- soned, there might as well be an un- derstanding first as last. She was a lady’s mald, and no butler was going to lord it over her. (She had read what tyrants they were in the ser- vants’ quarters.) “There wil be nothing to do this evening,” she begam, with an air of conferring a favor. “Tomorrow my mistress will explain everything.” She was quite elated over her Initial step, but her bubhle of satisfaction was soon punctured. The butler actually grinned at her! The blood mounted to her cheeks. “Sir,” she exclaimed, “I am not accus- tomed to such behavior.” “My dear child,” the new servant re- buked paternally. “Probably you do mot realize the difference between the position of the butler and that of lady’s maid.” There was a disdainful stress on the last two words. “I am quite awawe af the difference I object,” she retorted in her most rigid tones. “It is evident that you have not builered in the swell lies." The man seemed quite flustered. ‘And pray,’ he guestioned with thinly- veiled sarcasm, “ip what swell families have you served?” Jeannette’s heart gave a guilty bound. ‘Lady Rosemary’s”, she lied conscientiosly. “Why, that's where you worked,” in- terjected the chambermaid to the but- ler. “I head the mistress say some- thing about it to day.” “What!” The word burst Zfrom Jeannette's lips. She looked blankly at the butler for a moment, and then, for some unac- countable reason, both flushed. “Probably,” he hesitated, weighing his words carefully, “you worked there after I left, three years ago. Jeannette grasped the suggestion as a drowning men would the proverbial straw. “Yes,” mhe replied, eagerly. “T entered her service two years ago—er —yesterday.” Dead Beats and High Prices. A witness beiore the Senate commit- tee which is investigating the cost of living argued that dead bheats were largely responsible for the high prices, “A great many customers fail fo pay thelr accounts” said the witness, who was a retail grocer. “The dealers are thus forced to charge their losses in that respect to-those who are good pay on pay day or who settle for cash.’ That argument would be goed if the dead beat were a recent institution. But he is not. He has been doing the same things, through high prices or low, from the remotest periods of anti- quilty that he is doing today. He may be regarded as a fixed , an in- evitable abatement, a constant fores, a necessary evil. He is to the busi- ness world what friction Is to mechan- jcs— a thing that cannot conceivably be got rid of—an obstacle that has al- ways existed. As well dream of inventing perpetual motion as of conducting a retail busi- ness without due allowance for the dead beat. As well dream that per- petual motion vance existed as to sug- gest that there ever was a time when the dead beat was not a factor in hu- man affairs. It is therefore obvious that, no matter what may have caused the recent rise in prices, the dead beat had no more to do with it than any other ancient institution which has been funetionimg quietly through the centuries. He is a constant factor in prices—not a novel or extremely vaci- able quantity.—Chicago Inter-Ocean. No Interest in Economy. In the house of representatives on Monday Mr. Gillet of Massachusetts declared that public opinion in the TUnited States took no interest tn acon- omy. “Our constituents, sald he, “want us to do something for the:n, and so long as we can get our hands in the treasury they do not care. The man who gets a larger apprepriatisn for something in his own district achieves popularity, no matter what his eonduct may be in relation to sgen- eral legislation.” As the sure way to get an appropriation for a pubdlic bulld- ing is to agree to vote for other men’s bills for what they waat, and as there are nearly 400 representatives im the House, a billion-dollar session of Con- gress has become the normal thing. Mr. Gillett is right. Public opinion in this day careés not a straw for econ- omy. It's prophet is yet to make him- self heard.—New York Sun. Doesn’t Deserve Such a Wife. A St. Louis man asks, for a divorce because his wife hasn’t spoken to him for five years. Any man who will seek divorce on such a plea doesn’t deserve to have a wife—New York Herald. Would Save Time.

Gas lamps are made on the lines of ‘the electric lamp, and the deceit is so cleverly perpetrated that few suspect the difference. she cried, “how can I thing must be done some- . So she went to her mistress and asked for the n. “Why, I am so sorry,” her mistress said , “but I have just given William the afternoon and I mmflan_'cktmbothmumm Jeannette felt desperate. “I——" she passing her hand weakly over Shr forehead. e stopped and fell up- on the floor in a faint. “You poor dear!” her mistress ex- claimed when Jeannette opened her “Why didn’t you tell me you were i11? You miust go out and get the fresh air. “William,” she called to the butler, who was passing by outside, “I shell have to ask you to stay in this afternoon, Jeannette must go out.” A look of great disappointment set- tled on the butler’s face as he murmur- ed an incoherent “Yes, ma’am.” “I hated to do it,” Jeanmette said eontritely as she stepped out upon the sidewalk, “but it wag the only way.” She hailed e taxicab and started downtown. At 1.45 she entered the buil s®e had the appoint- e had scarcely through ng doors when someone ed hastily by her. It was the butler! Both stopped short es they caught sight of each other. The same idea uppermost in their minds. “Are you the mam?” Jeanmette asked abruptly. | “And are the woman?” One answered the other. “Well, we are both after the same Job,” said, smiling. “Who gets ment. now. The mask of levity dropped from the man’s face. “I only want the job,” he said, gazing at her intently, “to build & home for someone I know.” Jeannette affected not to understand. “Do you think,” the msan continued, “that when I work up on the staff of the paper—I'm sure that this article on social conditions will at least win a place for me—do you think a certain young lady would share my lot with me?’ "P.fl:}xm." enswered Jeannette.— Boston Post. No Permanent Embassies. It is now evident that Congress will not for the present agree to pass any measure providing for the purchase of permanent homes of our ambaseadors and ministers at foreign eapitals. The spirit of economy is no doubt back of this decision, although it is also c¢lai:a- ed that our legislative leaders prefer to carefully study the matter before finally committing the government to the imitatfon of the practices of for- eign countries. With the advent of the telegraph di- plomacy of a high order is no longer regarded as important as it used to be, and most governments are now dealing more directly with each other than ‘was formerly the custom. At the same time every nation must bhave repre- sentatives abroad, although whe:ner they are only rich men or able men is of less consequence than was for- merly the case. So long. however, as a eountry #nd; it necessary to be represented at for eign capitals, it i3 undignified and urjust to expect the representative <o pay the greater part of his own ex- penses. Just as long as an ambassa- dor must bear the principal cost of his position out of his own pocket, just so long will he be justified in getting all the social distinction and personal advancement out of his office which is possible.—New Orleans Picayune. Favors Municipal Ownership. Andrew Carnegie says he believes cities should own their ewn docks, waterworks, car lines and gas and electrie works. The principle of muni- cipal ownership involves a persistamt and stable pelicy of goed governmend. The business value of a city is greatly increased and its credit is stfengrh- ened by good government, and the position taken by Mr. Ca#negie is new recognized uaniversally as that of the most advanced municipal statesman- ship. Private ownership of puhlic gtil- ities, private Investment in matters intimately connected with the exist- ence of a city, is a relic of a Wygene day, when citizens had not learneA the virture and pewer of co- 0 and allowed— nay, inwit lisicans to hawk franchises and peddle speefal privileges.—Los Angeles (Cal) Herald, The best time for exercise is about two hours after a. meal.

A striking exhibit of the daring technic of the picture restorer was given_in the Bvans-Clausen trial in New York yesterday by the artist, Ar- thur Dawson, who has done “restorin; Mr. Clausen, and showed the court how Ne had treated the two Homer Martin paintings, the authenticity of which is under dis- pute. Naturally many artists came in to hear his testimony, The process of transferring a painting to a fresh canvass is familiar enough in theory, but most people have never had a chance to see how it is done, and there was much inferest in the exhibit he had prepared, “a valuable Turner,” part of which had been transferred, while the rest showed intermediate processes, double glass case allowing both front and back to be seen. Many have wondered how the old canvas is removed from the paint after a tem- porary adhesive surface has been at- tached to the face of the picture. Mr. Dawson was ehary of his trade secrets but he finally explained that one way, the way employed with the two Mar- tin pictures was simply to sandpaper the old canvas away. But he reso- lutely declined to reveal the secret of his wonderful tonic and reviver which will impart of a rich warm glow & the dingiest and most hopelessly faded icture.
