Reign of the Plug Hat
The plug hat Is a decidedly uncom-
fortable article of wear Hut it Is
picturesque Who is there but can
remember with affection some old
childhood character whose distinguish
lug mark was a battered plug hat that
hml survived the shocks and the
wrecks of half a hundred seasons?
The plug hat is associated with the
village doctor the lean and sallow
minister and the local undertaker
Perhaps the school teacher had one
too and it is certain that we can re-
call distinctly the day that father was
elected to the legislature and was pre-
sented with a hat by his admiring
"friends " It will be a long time before
the plug hat becomes actually extinct
The plug hat Is a thing that never
wears out says the Kausas Journal
It becomes tattered and generally dts-
reputable It is true but tills is a con-
dition that seems to endear It that
much more In the affections of the
possessor The plug hat has survived
the warming pan and the snuff box
When all things else have succumbed
to the tide of time the plug hat has
held its own on the beads of Its de-
votees The Skulker and the Huetler
Accidents and exceptions for indiv-
idual reasons aside the young man
whose chief effort has been to avoid
working more than his pay called tor
and who has carried this as the gov-
erning principle of his life has been
a greater or less iilure When he him-
self has reached middle life and has
begun to complain because other men
have got ahead of him he looks every-
where but In tbe right place for the
reason The place is himself and the
reason Is that he made the mistake
of never doing as well as be could be-
cause he was afraid of cheating him-
self What he actually did was to
cheat himself In the worst way says
the New Bedford Mass Standard
There Is as a rule no escape from
the truth that unless a man gives the
best there is in him he will never get
the best there is for him Careers
which look like exceptions to this rule
are due either to peculiar conditions
such as do not arise In ordinary lives
or else tbe appearance is deceptive
Japan a Practical Nation
Marvelous is the fortune of Japan
The only nation that might stax her
continental strides toward empire is
paralyzed by revolutionary struggles
t against a government whose existence
is a monstrous anachronism The na-
tions which must meet her on the
jWorld-wlde field of lndistrlal war have
'tied their own hands with vain eco-
nomic theories belonging to a dead
time There is no nation so practical
as the Japanese What is best to be
done that thing they do Their consti-
tution is not Invoked to inhibit the
general welfare and stay up the priv-
ileges of a plutocracy Dead govern-
mental theories of a bygone age are
dead to tHem and they modify their
political philosophy to suit the future
Though they worship their ancestors
remarks the Portland Oregonian they
care less than any other people for
time-worn opinions The things that
we believe theoretically they put In
practice
German Trade in Brazil
Germans are now doing much of the
business In Brazil that was formerly
carried on by British manufacturers
This is due primarily to the fact that
the German salesman is particularly
well equipped In business training
languages and adaptability to secure
the confidence of the Brazilians and
secondly to the fact that German
houses will modify their goods to
meet the special Brazilian require-
ments At the same time German
goods are not well thought of in Brazil
and where the proper effort is made
American goods will always sell In
preference to German goods even at
a considerably higher price For ex-
ample nine-tenths of all the electri-
cal machinery In Brazil Is American
The editor of the North American
Review has come out for woman's
suffrage “on account of woman's ac-
quirement of property and because the
Intellectual equipment of the average
American woman Is quite equal to
that of the medial man" We think
tbe average American Woman would
indignantly reject suffrage on any
such ground of equality The medial
man Is something she rates between
failure and In the minimum passing
mark
A boom due to the building of the
Panama Cana! has struck Mobile and
store rents have Increased from thirty
to forty per cent while house rents
have risen to such an extent that
clerks are leaving the city in schools
(upon finding themselves unable to pay
lthe Increased demands
An honest man may he the nobles
work of God but if be did not have i
woman around to remind him hi
would be a long liue returning a bo
rowed umbrella
SOME ECHOES FROM THE EGEGTION
COMPLETE RETURNS ARE VERY SLOW

KANSAS IN DOUBT
OKLAHOMA DEMOCRATIC
Congress Will be Republican by 50 Votes—
Hearst Defeated in New Yxrk— Massachu-
setts Re-elects Guild— Colorado Califor-
nia Iowa and Nebraska Republican
Wichita Kan Nov 7 — Elections
were held yesterday in forty-two
states and ' while the results in a
number of instances were of unusual
interest it may be said that gener-
ally speaking there were no great
surprises
Throughout the south the Demo-
cratic state and congressional tick-
ets have been elected by the usual
majorities In the west and east the
states that were aligned two years
ago in tbe Democratic and Republi-
can columns show no material
change the Democrats making gains
in some instances ' and tbe Republi-
cans in others The Republicans re-
tain control of congress by a good
majority
HARRIS-HOCH FIGHT CLOSE
Result in State of Kansas Is in
Doubt
Topeka Kan Nov 7 — At 1 a m
the state chairman of each party
claim the election of governor by a
plurality of 20000 The vote is so
close that it is impossible to make
an accurate prediction at this time
although it Is ' probable that Govern-
or Hoch has been re-elected by about
10000 plurality
Congressmen Are Safe
Topeka Kail Nov 6 — Kansas
elects a full quota of eight Republi-
can congressmen "
Topeka Kan Nov 6 — At mid-
night tonight no one can tell liow
the election is going Chairman
Crummer of the Republican state
central committee claims the state
by 20000 and Chairman Ryan claims
the state for the Democrats by 12-
000 Both nre basing their estimates
on reports from a very few precincts
which are coming In The Republi-
cans have not received more than 80
reports up to midnight More of
those look favorable to Hoch At
Democratic headquarters more re-
ports have been received and these
are very favorable to Harris Shaw-
nee county caused one of the big
surprises as It seems now to have
turned to Harris It has always been
a strong Republican county If a
few other counties turn as Shawnee
Harris will be the next governor
Tbo Democrats claim the county by
1500 The Republicans concede it
by BOO Incomplete returns show
Harris 100 ahead
It Is reported 'that Wyandotte
county will be carried by Harris by
1200 Lyon Brown Riley Morris
Republic Douglas and some other
counties are cluimed for Hoch i by
pluralities ranging from 200 to BOO
McPherson county is reported to be
for Harris by 300 It will be well
into the morning before either side
can tell definitely which is victorious
The vote this year Is the hardest to
count this state has ever had Not
precinct was reported until after
nine o'clock Every man seemed to
delight in splitting the tickets
But few ' precincts have been re-
ported complete Republicans ' con-
cede that Hock’s majority will be
cut down one-half to two-thirdrf of
what It was two years ago and the
normal plurality Is cut In two
The indications are that an excep-
tionally heavy vote was cast in near-
ly every precinct of the state It
was an Ideal election day generally
clear and warm and it was easy to
get the vote out The Democrats are
not claiming any great part of the
ticket except j Harris They believe
Overmyer will he elected attorney
general and I hat the railroad com-
missioners will be chosen
Topeka Kan Nov C— Complete
returns from 114 precincts out of a

Uncanny Chinese Legend
There are the two celebrated tow-
ers of tbe imperial city the Bell tow-
er and the Drum tower As to the
casting of the bell in tbe former there
is this legend: There had been two
unsuccessful attempts and the life of
the founder was threatened in case of
a third failure His daughter discov-
ered by occult means that nothing but
the blood of a virgin mingled with
the molten metal would insure suc-
cess So at tbe dext casting she sac-
rificed her life 'by throwing herself
into the molten metal leaving only
one shoe behind The casting was
perfect But when the bell was first
struck “all were horror-stricken as
after the heavy boom of the bell
came a low wall as of a girl yi ag-
ony distinctly saying the wgrd ‘heish’
shoe And to this day people when
they hear It say "There’s poor Ko-al’s
voice calling out for her shoe’
