THE DEMOCRATIC LABOR VOTE. enjoyi policles support of united labor this year, labor la the cotton mills helps on the produc- tion of cheap goods for northern mar- kets. It is said that when the American Federation of Labor was meeting in Atlanta, Hoke Smith, now senator from Georgia, poured out his panegy- gyrics within heering of the busy hum of these cotton mills where little chil- dren were toiling long hours under miserable conditions for a pittance. And the painful knowledge of this dulled all ears to Mr. Smith's fervent concern for labor. “So it will be, we imagine,” says the Omaha Bee, “when democracy comes to make a sham fight, ignoring these poor little serfs in the cotton mills of the south, whose case constitutes one of the vital elements of the labor prob- lem of today.” THE AMERICAN VCITING FORCE. The voting force of ithe country is only a Wttle over half of the whale number of persons of voting age. The census hureau reperts show that the total number of males of vet- ing age is between 28000,000 and 29,000,000, These figures imclude aliens who have not been naturalized, men who have forfeited their rights of franchise because of crime, indifferent citizens who do not care to vote, and hundreds of thousands of citizens:dis- franchised by election laws. News comes from Georgia that the present election law engineered through by Hoke Smith shuts oux all the negro citizens of that state ex- cepting 19,000; and debars 100,000 white men from voting. There are hundreds of thousands of colored vot- ers disfranchised in the south by the technicalities of the law, just asumany are disfranchised here in New England in the same way, and since the states make their own election laws' there seems to be no help for it. In the presidential electicn of 1908, the total popular vote in the United States for all candidates for president was 14,888,159, and this exceeded the vote for president in 1904 by 1,300,000, At the same rate of increase thes pop- ilar vote for president in 1912 would be considlerable more than 16,000,000, But this\ does not begin to represent the increase of the vote for president since 1908, for in the past four years a half-dozen states have adopted equal suffrage, and the added votes of wo- men, it is alleged, will increase the vote more than 4,000,000, making a gain of nearly 6,000,000 in the voting force of the ,nation—an advance of about 33 1-3 jer cent. Under present conditions it is not easy to tell where'the balance of pow- er is, The women’s vote, if it does not represent the balancesof power, comes near doing it, hence, Colonel Roose- it bid for it straight, and deprives President Taft and the republican panty of it. If this estimate of power s correet, it may not elect Roosevel:, but it is very likely to defeat the republican party. THE HIGH COST OF LIVING. Tf the fariff is the.cause of the high cost living, how is it that free- ade England is not' immune from this distress? When called upon by a deputation from the Associated Chambers of Commerce recently, Mr. Asquith, the prime minister, produced an official document, which showed 'that the cost of food and drink in Britain, while about per cent. higher\than it was in 1800, is reaily 20 cent. lower than it was some thirty years ago. The cost of living in England was at its highest point in 1896, forthe thirty- three years covered by the document. The year 1882 showed the highest prices of all. On the subject of wages this docu- ment has a different story. From 1879 to 1900 wages advanced quite steadily, the improvement amounting to about %0 per cemt.; but since 1900 there has been no important gain. Commenting upon this, the Ottowa, Canada, Citizen takes\occasion to say: “It is not at all likely that British prica movements are very AWferent from American or Canadlan price mevements, Certainly the lowest prices for farm products:were reached in or near the year 1896. “If careful investigation should show that the cost of living is high, mainly because we live high, and that the advance has been brought about by the time approved method, that of paying more for wages, then there should not be much reason to com- plain. A reduction in the cost of liv- ing, because of a reduction in wages, would be the worst sort of retrogres- slon. On the contrary, it is fair to assume that progress will continue, new inventions and new business methods making labor worth more and more for any given time, and necessi- tating further increase in the wages fund and in the purchasing power of the great mass of the people. “The only remedies for the unsatis- factory cost of living appear to lie in education.” The cost of distribution nearly dou- bles the charge for goods, and this, with the waste, makes prudent living & problem. The only relief politics offers is a change of governmental policy which wiil paralyze industries and produce a crisis which no working man wants to experience, When Mr. Roosevelt declared in Chicago that “the channels of infor- mation have hean choked by the op- ponents of pepular government in the effort to prevent the people from find- ing out what we stand for,” he must have known it was not true, No man in America commands o more gener- ous hearing In the press of the coun- try irrespective of party, than the Colonel, A suffragette regrets that the new wrty had not been hoaded by Reose- «it nnd Wilson, with Colonel Bryan iriving the band wagen, This weuld i have been an inappropriate 1913 sam, 1t 1s trylng to be made eut at Chi- sags that a college-bred thief is a kleptomaniae, He j8 no safer leose than any other thief, The progressives maks no claim of congisteney in their star; (hey are sats Jefiod Wilh GRergy ‘ A CANDIDATE FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. Mayor Tingier of Rockville figures mong those named for a running mate with Governor Baldwin by the demo- crats. This is an honor which belongs to lan eastern Connecticut man, and al- though The Bulletin is of a different | political faith, it would like to see him iget the honor, because The Journal tof that town says: ito the standard for this position.” “He measures up The Journal says further: “There 'is no mistaking the fact that he would fmake a most efficient and dignified presiding officer of the state senate in case democracy was successful this fall. “Hverywhere the mayor's name is mentioned in connection with the nomination, it is received with marked enthusiasm. Rockville’'s mayor is rec- ognized as among democracy’s strong- est and ablest men. He served as dem- ocratic leader of the last house, fill- ing the position with ability. He has served the town of Vernon in the house for two terms. Last December he was elected mayor of Rockville for 4 two-year term.” LINCOLN'S MODESTY. There was no boastful spirit about Abraham Lincoln—no cocksureness as to results. No one can imagine him saying: “I am the only compromise,” or inviting negro delegates from the south to promote his chances in the republican convention at Chicago, and then for the same purpose refusing to legally elected delegates a seat in the progressive party’s convention, to win the votes of the whites of the south. Lincoln wasn't shouting “We're going to win”—he had no “bully” atmosphere about him. Here is a letter he wrote to a friend in Springfield, Ill, when the politcial outlook was not clear: “I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have, I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him whent he goes wrong.” This is not a very long letter, but it is weighty with character and hon- esty of purpose. It bespeaks a mod- esty which is woefully Jacking in hi modern counterfeit. He did not pa- rade his ambition before the people, or pretend he was their Moses, but his conseience played an open part in all his public life. Being true to con- science he had to be true to men. The country does need more men imbued with the spirit of Lincoln—it doesn't need any more Roosevelts. EDITORIAL NOTES. It will not be long before the tea table will have to be lighted. The bull moose makes a great noise, but the tiger has the bulge on'him. There is no doubt an endowed news- paper would be both a novelty and a disappointment. The progressive party is willing to wear a Jim Crow label in the south to win white votes. Happy thought for teday: Two trains of thought never try to run on the same track at the same time. C. W. Morse has so far recovered as to indulge in an ice deal. Money and duplicity opened the prison door for him. Some people think the bull moose convention in its leading features was better fitted for Zion City than Chi- cago. The New York Mail, a Roosevelt organ, did not print a line of Taft's address of acceptance. It only knows one side. Seven governors called Roosevelt, ‘but 46 could not turn him down. When all else failed he handed the nomina- tion to himself. This is an educational campaign. After it is over the average man will know the difference between a goat and a bull moose. A scarcity of birds is noticed this vear in all parts of New England. It isn't the cats but men and boys who need to be restrained. Thé Colonel's idea of wiping out the middleman to make llving cheaper isn't a step forward. The middleman is a modern convenience. California delegates opposed Johnson for second place on the bull moose ticket because they need him at home. He 18 in no danger of being elected to g0 to Washington, PR Burgery has advanced to the point where it winds the aorta—the blg ar- tery of the heart—with 80 feet of fine gold wire and strengthens the walls and preserves a man's life, A new party feunded on “human rights” and 'the eternal principles of justice” in a free republic, is net all it pretemnds fe be, The bull meese's biggest bid is fer the gullible, Warren,—Mrs, Virgil Blackman and daughter Haltle, whe have been guests of Miss Ora Craig at West Tewnsend, Mags, havs returned io iheir home n Warren, BID FOR The demecratic party, which always large labor vote whatever its has made an extra bid for the The platform makes many prom- fwes and among other things pledges the party to create a bureau of labor at ‘Washington and to make labor's rep- resentative a member of the presi- dent’s officlal family by giving him a secretary’s portfolio; but it Is silent on points where united labor is loud— it makes no pledges to pass child for that would be a blow at the solid south where child labor in t Woman in HELPS AND HINTS FOR THE KITCHEN. Oriental Cream. A delicious hot weather dessert call- ing for dates and figs is this: Soak & tablespoonfu] of gerlatin in quar- ter of a oupful of cold water and then add to it a quarter of a cupful of scalded milk and half a cupful of su- gar. Strain the mixture into a bowl set in ice water and stir until it be- gins to thicken. Add the whites of ®wo eggs beaten stiff, half a pint of cream beaten stiff and a third of acup- ful each of chopped dates and chopped figs, together with a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Turn into a mold and chill thoroughly. Bordered Ginghams. ‘While the bordered gingham, which this season is more beautiful than ev- er, is used mostly for gowns, it makes the most attractive work aprons pos- sible. * Whether aprons covering the entire frock or those which fasten about the waist are wanted, it 18 well to consider the bordered fabrics be- fore buying material. An apron seen recently in a bride's trouseau was of the blue and white striped gingham with a narrow striped border. A de- sign in cross stitch was worked in the border, the effect of the whole being altogether charming. When Making Succotash. ‘With the corn season here, succotash is a dish not to be neglected. There is no bean tastier to use than the mot- tled pink and white bean—cranberry ‘bean as many call it in New England. This imparts a curious reddish or purplish tint to the dish, the color the New England woman always expects her dish of succotash to have, if it would measure up to the family stand- ard. 8 BALSAM PILLOWS. For “nerve” pillows fill with hops, dried catnip or mint leaves, clover tops, sweet grasses and scented foliage gathered from herbs and shrubs. Have them well dried in the shade and all stems_and sticks removed before us- ing.—Exchange. ABOUT SHOES. If shoes, as is predicted, are to cost more this fall, there is added reason for paying attention to shoe sales at present, for an appreciable sum may be saved. Many of the pumps and ties now to be had for half the usual price will answer not only for the remainder of this summer, but will make the nic- est kind of house shoes during the winter. HANGING VASES. Hanging vases of pottery in soft blues and greens as well as in the fig- ured and also those of the smok- ed bamboo, are now made in sizes va- rying from a few inches in length to those fully 15 or 20 inches. When prop- erly hung and filled with flowers of the right kind, there is nothing that gives quite so satisfying a note to a porch or room. Trailing vines and flowers are specially adapted to vases of this sort. PERSONAL LINEN. Personal linen, like every other kind, must be worn evenly and in due rota- tion. Bach article must be put in the flnen place always on its own portion of the shelf and in its own set. Thus all nightgowns belonging to the same person go in one place, all corset cov- ers in one place, all other garments in their own spot, so that the owner knows exactly where to lay her hands on any of them at a second’'s notice. Longeloth and cambric may be all {that one can readily afford. Such gar- ments, when well wrought, look near- Iy as weil as those of pure linen, and may well be worn for ordinary use. Every girl and every woman should own at least two sets of real linen un- derwear, beautifully hand-worked, and something to last many years and to be proud of. Linen wears much longer than cot- ton because of its close texture and itg strong fiber. The art of spinning the flax and weaving the wool for linen is so ancient that it was said the gods taught the old Egyptian women the wonderful method of making snow white clothing out of the fleld flax. Mummies, enwrapped for thousands of vears in swathing of the finest linen, give proof of the wearing qualities of the stuff made by the ancient folk of the world. And the wearing qualities are in it now if linen unmixed with less durable cotton be chosen. And it can be chosen if women are willing to pay its price. Personal linen, like bed linen, is oft- en put away with lavender between its folds, cunningly mixed with orris root and other scented things in sachets. Old wives said it kept away the moths. But moths do not attack linen, Mildew s its worst ememy; this comes from damp places. Nevertheless, lavender should be used because of the fragrant scent it gives to clean clothing, This scent one can ill dispense with SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. To prevent a lamp from smoking dip the wick in vinegar and dry before us- Ing it. To remove fresh paint from the floor cover with vinegar at once and wipe off with a soft cloth. Stale crums of bread for puddings should he soaked in cold water or milk. If soaked in hot it will be heavy and mushy. ieave a few of the husks on your sweet corn for boiling, and take it to the table with them on. It will keep warm longer, and you will find it much sweeter. Seven pounds of fruit, three and one- half of sugar and a pint of vinegar is the standard proportion for all man- ner of sweet pickling. The spicing may be varied to suit the taste. Drain oysters on a napkin before making a stew. Rub the saucepan with butter, beat very hot, put in the ovsters, and turn and stir until well plimped and ruffied before making thi stew proper, Strong alum water is very efficacious ias a vermin . destroyer. Closets, wooden bedsteads and loose wainscot- ing in old houses which preve trouble- some should be brushed with this solution. Telegraph wire of galvanized iron is much better to hang clothes on in win- ter than rope, as the clothes will not freeze to it. Have it hung by a line- man and it will never “give” no mat- ter what the weather may be. Dictates of Fashion. Belts of patent leather, soft mo- rocco and suede are all modish, They are rather narrow, Among noveltles in sacques are those of corded and shot siik, which give a novel finlsh to the outdoor toflet, On some of the smartest boots the white uppers affset the form of galt- ers with an apparent strap passing under the feot, A ehie idea in fepigear s to have the buekie and the heel giving a dash of celer te u smarl shee, and scarlet or white is mest effective. The floating paradise slume 18 &t £ Lile and in the T e et Kitchen the moment the favorite miliinery and . white plumes on black hats are speclally popular, The new changeable taffetas come in double width and are most advan- tageous for cutting. Many exquisite combinations for blouses can be had a popular one being gold and the new hydrangea blue. To Do Stamping. Here is a hint for those who do their own stamping Instead of using stamp- ing wax, mash a small ball of clothes blueing, and with a little piece of velvet rub it over the perforated pat- tern; then remove the pattern from your cfoods and trace the design with a lead pencil. This must be done or the blueing will rub off, 'This meth- od is not so expensive, and if the work does not entirely cover the stamping the marks will come out when laun- dered, which those made with the wax will not always or often do. Rice Buns. Two ounces of flour, four own f ground rice, four ounces of sugar, two ounces of butter, two eggs, one-half teaspoonful of good baking powder and a pinch of salt. Cream the sugar and butter, add half the flour and one egg., then the remainder of the flour, egg and baking powder, being sure Lo mix the flour and ground rice together while it ig in a dry state; grease some patty or gem pans and fill them two- thirds full of the mixture. Bake for fifteen minutes, Boiling Meats. Here are a few rules for boiling meats, etc. Corned beef takes three to five hours. Chicken requires ten minutes to each pound, depending on the age of the chicken. Hard boiled eggs, fifteen minutes. Soft boiled eggs, three and one-haif minutes, Fish, cod—halibut—twenty for each pound. ‘Whole fish, six to ten minutes for each pound. Ham, five hours. Mutton, from two to three hours. Oysters, until they come to a boil Tongue, three to four hours. Veal, eighteen to twenty minutes per pound, minutes Health and Beauty. Orangeade is the Parisienne’s favor- ite summer beverage for her complex- ion’s sake, and she believes strorgly also in lemonade to clear the skin and brighten the eyes. In neither does she take much sugar, and she dilutes the lemon juice well with water, taking the orange with less, A good substitute for the bracing ocean bath at this time of vear may be obtained by rubbing the body down with wet table salt. Afterward this should be sponged off with cold water in which two tablespoonfuls of salt are digsolved. If the treatment s repeat- ed every morning the results will be most beneficial to the health. Exercise extreme cautlon in select- ing tooth paste, powders or other den- tifrices on the market. One of the most universally popular ingredients In dentrifices is powdered chalk. It is inexpensive, harmless and effective, its chief value being the neutralizing of acids in the mouth. Among the sim- ple remedies always at hand none can be recommended more highly than co be recommended more highly than common salt. A strong solution of salt water i8 a beneficial mouth wash, and dry salt placed on the tooth brush cleanses the teeth. Borax is useful in that it tends to remove unpleasant odors from the breath. Dissolve two to four ounces of borax in a pint of hot water and add a half teaspoonful of tincture of myrrh or spirits of camphor, The Darning Basket. ‘When the weekly wash comes up from the laundry take the clothes that need mending and find patches of the material, yarn to darn with, or what- ever is necessary to mend with, and pin the pieces to the article to be mended; then put them aside in a drawer or sewing bag until you have time to sit down quietly and sew. Hay- ing everything ready, you will be sur- prised at the amount vou can do auv one sitting. By this method the week- ly mending loses half of its terrors for the busy housekeeper. To Make Smelling Salts. Smelling salts can be made at home, or, if one has already purchased a bottle the strength can be kept up and so make the salts last much longer. To prepare a salts bottle, put in car- bonate of ammonia, adding one part of any desired perfume to eight of the carbonate of ammonia. Another methed is to put into a wide mouthed glass stoppered bottle small bits of the sponge, fill . with com- mon liquid ammonia, adding a few dl:op! of any perfume desired. As the bits of sponge dry they can be moist- ened time and again, LE'lTEi!S TO THE EDITOR Why Hasn't Weodrow Done thing? Some- Mr, Editor: Now. to begin with, T think I am getting a little pig, pig, piggy, and taking up too much' of your valuable space but as long as you al- low me to shoot darts at the most un- American, un-democratic, wholly aris- tocratic candidate for president this nation ever had, I shall keep at it; that is, if 1 can find anything new; and the more I look up the past record of Woodrow Wilson, the hater of old soldiers, foreigners, secret order mem- bers, and in 1896 and 1900 W. J, Bryan, the more reasons I find that he should be retired from public life, because he has proven to be a ftilure. Mr. Wilson sald the other day to the committee of 52 that notified him the democratic party had chosen him for leader, that the trusts and monopolies must be controlled and destroyed. Now then, unless 1 am badly misinformed, the state of New Jerhey is the home of more than two-thirds of the so-called Jblood sucking trusts, and Woodrow ‘Wilson has been governor of New Jer- sey nearly two years. In that two vears Governor Woodrow Wilson has not written a line to the New Jersey legiglature in favor of abolishing or controlling trusts. Why hasn't Wood- row done something? Mr, Wilson has had lots of time to break up or down large combines in New Jersey, but has not raised his voice to do so. Has he? If so, for heaven's sake tell us when! Mr, Woodrow Wilson was greeted by Ollie James the other day as a man who stands firmly on the state plat- form of democracy, when governor, and will do the same on the national plat- form when president. Of course, I don’t for a moment belleve he will ever be president, but if he should slip in, and stands squarely on that plat- form of free trade except for revenue, the cotton mills of Greeneville, the Palls and other places will not be ery- tng no help in spite of big pay, but the hands will be crying as they did in 1893 nn work and pay even though we are willing to do it cheaply. There are several other measures that Woodrow could have tried his hand at, at Trenten, but most of his time has been spent in bullding up a Ohildren Ory FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA Opening Bill AT THE —= Comedy Specialty 101 BISON FILM Snowball’s Pal 3 SHOWS DAILY—230, 7, 845 NAV IS THEATRE AVlS TnROf\DWM Davis, Gemeral Mauager.
