There i8 nothing he can do. He errs, in the first place, in imagining that he knows what “a de- cent-looking hat” would be like. He P\l doubtless been going along in his batlike way imagining that with women, as with men, a hat was pri- marily designed to cover the head and protect it from the sun, rain, cold or snow and that the shape is really of little consequence. Having accepted that false premise, he need have no hope of ever being satisfiled with any hat his wife may select for her per- sonal adornment Woman bows to fashion as she vields to fate. She would be beauti- ful, of course, in any garb, and mere man {8 sometimes convinced that she is trying to prove that her personal beauty is enough to triumph over any collection of hideous things stacked on her head. The normal and logical do not enter into her calculations when fashion’s decree is under considera- tion. " If fashion favors large hats, the feminine headgear monopolizes all the available space in the neighborhood. If the shifting mandate of style calls for smallness the hat becomes smaller than the bill. Should fashion demand a zoological exhibit, the world s scoured for feathers and plumes and adornments that would make a pea be | cock green with envy. The Easter hat this vear, according to the advance announcements, s to rise to great heights above the head and drop to alarming distances below the ears of the wearer. It will be huge, built out with false work and swelled by puffs. It may look like a mushroom growing in some dank morass. It may take the coal scuttle shape or be fashioned after the peach basket, with trimmings of wings, veg- etables, ribbons or anything else that the woman can afford to buy or hap- pens to have around the house. What- ever form it may take, the mere man may as well decide that he likes it. If he doesn’'t he may lump it, for where fashion dictates woman is adamant as against all arguments. A Century of America. “The First Census of the United States” is the title of a volume just |issued by the federal government, which contains many highly interest- ing features upon which to base a com- parison with the America of today and the nation of 1790, the date of the first official census. The volume also contains a summary of some of the | early colonial census reports, thirty- eight in number The most striking feature of the early census report, from a compara- tive standpoint, is the constant decline in the size of the American white fam- ily. In 1790 the number of children under 16 years of age and the number of adults was practically equal. In 1900 there were 23,846,810 children and 43,049,696 adults. The propor- tion of children to adults had sunk from 49 per cent in 1790 to 34 in 1900. In 1790 families composed of |six or more persons nearly one-half the total; in 1900 they represented scarcely one-fourth the population | The number of children to each white family decreased from 2.8 in 1790 to 1.5 in 1900, a decline of nearly 50 per cent. Had the number of the children to the family maintained the ratio that theld in 1790 the number of children in the 1900 census would have been |about 20,000 larger than it was. On this point the census report says The if the United Btates luded that théy are only about half as to rear chil any rate rsonal sacrifice people have ! con | well able at whic en, under con- 1900, their mselves to be under the valled as 1 th pr Hilons prevailing in The first census was printed after the manner of a city directory, the sur- naemes of all families being given This was soon abandoned as useless, but the report shows some rather curi- ous facts. In a population of 3,172, 244 there were only 27,340 surnames. Of these the Smith family lead, with a total of 33,245, with the Brown fam- ily second, with 19,276. The Davis family of 14,300 lead the Jones tribe by about 2,000 and the Johnson, Wil- lfams, Miller and Wiison families came in the order named, the English fur- nishing 83 per cent of the white stock of the nation at that time. In 1900 the white population was about evenly divided betweeh the descendants of persons enumerated in 1790 and of later arrivals. King Edward and Hot Milk, Some wecks ago, when the prince of Wales presided at the dinner of the Bavage club, it; was noticed that he drank large quantities of hot milk. He explained that King Edward, whose ill-health had been the cause of much concern and worry for some time, had recently taken to the drinking of hot milk as a regular beverage and had srown ‘robustly strong and was now in his old form. Thereupon all Lon- don developed a hot milk craze and it is reported that the hotel bars cannot keep up with the demand. The liquor nighteap has been discarded and the lacteal one substituted The English have never cured thera- selves of the fad of following the ex ample of royalty in every possible way and the hot milk craze threatens to be the most pronounced of any of the fads that has taken hold of the Britons for a long time, They have all the proof needed of the eficacy of the treatment. It is now no secret that King Hdward has been in a very bad way, from a health standpoint, for some months. Of course, the public policy of po- litely lying about the king's health has been followed, but all England knows that the king's condition was at one time so grave that his court advisers did everything but rehearse the coro- nation ceremonies for his successor, but hot milk has triumphed and the king promises to equal the record of some of his predecessors In the matter of longevity. England’'s kings have heen a long- lived lot, a hard heart and good diges- tion having been the equipment of most of them. The first George lived to be 67, the second 77 and the third died at 82. George IV lived to be 68, Willlam IV was 72 when he died and Queen Victoria was near to completing her 82d year. At the age of 68 King Edward, in spite of the somewhat rapid pace he traveled in his younger days, is now reported to be a good life in- surance risk, due largely, it is asserted, to his fondness for scalding hot milk. The hot milk diet has been spasmod- ically popular in this country and it may gain new recruits after this kingly testimonial te its excellence. A Word for Dr. Wiley. The announcement from Washing- ton that Dr. Harvey W, Wiley is to be rotained at the head of the bureau of chemistry of the Department of Agri- culture and given full charge of the nforcement of the national pure food law will be welcomed by that “large hare of the public that h become familiar with Dr. Wiley's. work and he unrelenting warfare waged against him since the pure food law was adopted about three years ago. Dr. Wiley is something of a crank, in his way, and has made some orders and rulings that have brought him fnto ridicule and criticism, but it is generally admitted, except by manu- facturers who have insisted in using improper methods, that he has been one of the stanchest friends of the American stomach. Late in Mr. Roose- velt's administration the opponents of Dr. Wiley became so determined and brought so much influence to bear that for a time it looked as though he might be forced out of his position. President Taft, however, has accepted the opinion of Secretary Wilson that | Dr. Wiley's errors have been made og the safe side by taking no chances and that he should be retained to continue the food reform work which he was so active in getting started. When the first disclosures were made by Dr. Wiley some years ago that the people were eating preserves made of rotten fruits, honey made of glucose, vegetables preserved by dan- gerous polsons and that nearly every- thing in the canned goods lines had been doctored, the popular indignation was great and any demand for his re- moval at that time would have been met by an overwhelming storm of pro- But while Dr. Wiley has gone | | | | test the dishonest manufacturers, his ene- mies have been working for his undo- ing.

Canada has caught the Dreadnought microbe and as a result has made a proposition to Great Britain that is at least suggestive of future plans which the Canadian authorities may have up their sleeves. Canada offers the home | country a couple of battleships cqual |to the best in Britain's navy. It is | conditioned that Cdnada build the fighting vessels, man and maintain them and keep them in Canadian | waters unless they should be cglied | elsewhere by imperial need in time of [ war. In that event they would be re- |turned to Canadian waters after the trouble had blown over. In plain !terms, Canada asks Bugland's permis- | sion to build and maintain a powerful Canadian navy, on condition that Eng- land can borrow it once in a while | This may mean a spirit of loyalty to | the mother country and it may mean the manifestation of a spirit of Canad- {an independence, which bas been OMAHA . SU growing somewhat rapidly in recent years. The unfortunate feature of the sit- uation is that Canada cannot afford to encourage a case of the Dreadnought fever. Canada is but 42 years old and Is in debt head over heels. The de- velopment of the vast area of country has gone on more rapidly than the growth of population. The Dominion, with a population of less than 7,000, 000, has a debt of about $500,00h,000, and the direct taxes are already bur- densome upon the people. The addi- tion of a navy building tax would be a high price to pay for a patriotic im- pulse. Pensions for Ex-Presidents. Each congress apparently has a few members who feel it their duty to offer measures for the relief of the former | presidents of the United States. At the present session one bill already of fered makes ex-presidents honorary members of the senate for life, at a salary of $£25,000. Another provides that ex-presidents shall have a seat in the house with the pay and privileges of members, but shall not be allowed to vote, Still another proposes for an ex- president a flat pension of $25,000 per annum On general principles none of these propositions reflect any great wisdom on the part of those offering them nor do they appeal to the people. The record shows that former presidents of the United Btates get.along tolerably well without help from the govern- ment. They are at liberty to do liter- ary or lecture work, engage in any of the professions or follow any vocation to their iking. Should they desire to re-enter public life seats in either house of congress are open to them, if they can get the support of the voters of their states. 'If they cannot get this support it would be difficult to under- stand how they could have any par- ticular value to the government in those positions. No convincing argument has been urged in favor of making the former president a member of either the sen- ate or the house, unless he comes bear- ing the credentials of a specific con- stituency. From the financial stand- point, no president has ever left the White House lacking money for legiti- mate needs. General Grant's financial embarrassment grew out of a business venture he should never have made. The others have either retired from the White House to a quiet life or have engaged in more or less lucrative pur- suits in private life. Should an ex-president meet with some physical affliction or, for any reason, be found in need of financial assistance, a generous republic may be relied upon to go to his relief, but as a general proposition ex-presidents may be depended upon to take care of themselvei along, steadily camping on the trail of | A Blow at Vaccination. The supreme court of Illinois has taken a backward step by deciding that boards of health have mo right or power to make vaceination a condition precedent to admitting a child to the public schools. The deeision is based on the proposition children and their parents are ‘‘free’” and must be pro- tected in their individual personal rights. The question is not a new one, byt the Illinois case is, we belleve, the first in which the courts have ruled against the police power of the health authori- tles. While individuals and organiza- tions may oppose vaccination for any reason, if there {s anything in the his- tory of medicine which can be set down as a demonstrable fact it is that the discovery of Jenner has annihilated the danger from smallpox. It is also an established fact of public policy that the way offered for any commu- nity to become immune from the once dreaded disease, by the use of vaccina- tion, cannot be blocked by the refusal of ignorant or prejudiced parents to submit to rules prescribed for the pro- tection of the gene: a Persia’s Minister Quits. A change that is marked with some elements of pathos is about to takts place in the diplomatic corps at Wash- | ington. General Mortezo Kahn, the Persian minister, is selling out his Washington residence with the inten- tion of returning to Persia to make a | living in some other manner. He has had a lot of difficulty for several years of securing any direct communication | with his country and, according to re- | ports, his pay check has always been |lost in the malils. At least he has never received one, 8o he has decided products, and the lion’s sharge of the | | to abandon his post, thereby ending in | failure Persia’s third attempt to main- | | tain a diplomatic representative in the United States. General Kahn has made a desperate effort to keep his government’s place the diplomatic corps. Among a | people to whom he is an alien in | speech, customs and ideals he has reaped little but heartaches out of his | ifive vears in Washington. His recog- | nition has been only at the State de- | { partment, where diplomatic formality lig a part of the regular order of the |day. He has had no real business | with this government and but little to | do except to wear his gold lace, bought |at his own expense, and maintain the | dignity of a monarch who has ap-| parently forgotton his existence.
