N AMERICAN woman already a philosopher atill a bit o ( a
Pnritan' iugg&U thU deflnitida of flirtation:'
‘"IVis" Uja the'“tho sentimental Mnnciattonoft tho two
exes in a land 'where the man does not dominate the woman"
One could not put it better if flirtation were only a con-
versation But between the conversation which ia quite pun
and the conversation which ia called criminal because it ia a
breach of the vows the married woman has made there is the
conversation — what shall I call it? — the venial conversation
in which the dialogue is cut up by silences And for inch flir-
tations a discreet and terriblo definition has been found infinitely 'vague
and infinitely precise — at lesst you know it? — and so in this I am not
passing across your illusions like a too hot wind mixing the earth of the
garden with’ the purity of the frozen snow :
“All- except all” (
“All?” That is understood “Except all?” That is also understood
It is the pleasure of the lion tamer You have seen them aa I have
those daring women who with look and with whip attack the roaring lion
Doubtless they would not approach the beast in the desert where he has
the certainty of his royalty and the experience of his strength 'They tempt
fortune only with a subject with whom they have long been familiar and
who born in the menagerie is ignorant of the respect that is his due
Just the same like temptresses they dare him with a little dizziness behind
their boldness to see what is going to happen Soon they tire of making
him give his paw and jump through rings They open his mouth they
plunge their rash little heads into those devouring jaws I know I know
they count upon tiieir presence of mind to withdraw themselves from peril
at the right moment But the jaws of lions are made to close upon what
is put into them and universal experience teaches us that occasionally as
soon as pretty tamers introduce their charming heads into the mouth of
Sultan suddenly Sultan closes his crushing machine upon the temptation
he could not resist -
We have ascertained that all the men in the United States seem to
belong to one class — they are all men who have hopes!
In the same way passing from factory to office from office to college
from college to society we ascertain that all the women of the United
States are of the same essence They are not born as with us peasants
artisans shop girls young bourgeoises heiresses to castles They are
born purely and simply Americans It is one and the same seed falling up-
on different soils Transplantation from a'poor soil to a rich soil is enough
to turn a honeysuckle into one of those large double heavy-petaled roses
which are called “American Beauties” Now the quality the distinctive
mark which these “American Beauties” owe to their seed itself unique is
woman question is by no means new Prehistoric woman it may safely be
assumed was already in the movement and 'the remains of embryonic
forms of modern Suffragettes have certainly been found amongst the
fossils of the Silurian strata There is no “new woman” under the sun
Woman has always been the spoiled child of the planet Like all
spoiled children she is now a thorn in the side of those who cherished and
loved her when all the world was young Poets who are seldom men of
the world painters who are generally experts in the flesh and novelists
who make copy out of the Prince of Darkness himself all have conspired
to give to woman a collossal conceit of herself They have rather overdone
the adulation of their own especial heroines and even the best of women
have found it a hard task to endeavor to live up to their ideals The
f poet’s woman was always so very very good’ that compared with her the
average woman was positively horrid The painter's ideal endowed woman
with a beauty and glamour that was positively unearthly Did any one
ever see any woman like those so presented on canvas presented at court
- or any other purely mundane function ? Alas ! those beauties of the brush
are as seldom met with in fact or in Fleet street as the palpitating crea-
tions of the poet’s pen
It is nevertheless clear that woman has taken herself at the valuation
put upon her by the virtuosi in paint and printer’s ink She prides her-
self therefore on her having just stepped out of her gilded frame or
escaped from the oppressive atmosphere of a six-
shilling “shocker” to see how things are bogging
along in our drab and prosaic world ' A 'goddess thus
descending as it were from the clouds is always
a condescending goddess So we have become accus-
tomed to be patronized by the printed woman and
plagued by the painted one But in our heart of
hearts we have long ago plumped for the plain woman
who has been neither printed painted nor puffed in-
to an undue estimate of her merely human attributes
This is after all the kind of woman whose place in
Nature is in the hearts of men
It is much to be doubted whether allow-
ing for the increase in population the num-
ber of unhappy marriages nowadays is pro-
portionately larger than it was a century
or two ago- - It scarcely is to be denied
that there is more talk about it
Our foremothers and forefathers some-
times made sad mistakes in marriage but
as a rule they kept the fact of their hav-
ing done so as far as possible to themselves
Marriage in those days was regarded as
final and as practically indissoluble Wom-
en especially were taught to accept the situ-
ation as something foreordained a condi-
tion of affairs which could not be altered and which it only could be hoped
to make the best of Divorce was so unusual as to be considered aa scarce-
ly short of disgrace and the woman who had children for those children’s
mlrp would endure to the limit of strength and of life rather than resort
to its help Moreover it was regarded by our ancestors merely aa a matter
of what they called “proper pride” that dirty linen should be washed in
private behind locked doors and drawn blinds )
When a man or woman awakes to the bitter consciousness that mar-
riage is not all that fancy imagined it would be when the beloved falls
short of fond expectations and the sharp pang of disillusionment ia felt
the brave thing to do ia not to give way to vain and fruitless regret to
weep and to wail still less to utter reproaches which do harm rather than
good bat to hide the sad fact if such concealment is possible and valiant-
ly to set to work to make the best of things to gather up the fragments d
the broken idol and piece them together as well ae auj be

REVISION UPWARD
In hla a pooch of aeesptaaee ' Mr
Taft speaking ot tho tariff said:
"Oa tho other head there are soma
few schedules tu which tho tarERds
not sufleteatly high to giro tho moss
ora of protection which they should
receive upon Republican principles"
This la nufletent to prove that "ra
vision ot tha tariff" as understood by
tho Republican Isadora dona not maaa
revision la tho Interests of tho people
but does mesa that tha protected in-
terests will reoelve first consideration
It also demonstrates that tha Indian-
apolis News a Republican aewapaper
knew what it was talking about whan
la Its issue of Jnly 2 It said:
"An that was needed to prove thnt
the Republican tariff plunk 4a a delu-
sion aad n snare as far as the tariff
reformers are concerned was the com-
mendation of tha American Economist
tha high tariff organ This It now
has The Economist la fairly Jubilant
over the victory won la behalf of ex-
treme protection ' "The Republican
party’ It says in national convention
asaembled has declared anew for the
policy ot protection— protection 1 that
shall be adequate— and has rejected
the demands ot the tariff agitators for
a revision ot the tariff downwards'
Which of course means that the
party has declared either in favor of
leaving the tariff aa It la or of revis-
ing it upward We quote from the
Economist which be It remembered
Is the uncompromising champion of
Dlngleyism:
“ 'The free traders and advocates of
tariff revision downward will not find
n word or syllable In this tariff plank
that tends to furnish them the slight-
est crumb of comfort There is no
'promise in the platform of tariff re-
vision downward After full
consideration of the whole subject the
Republican party In convention as-
aembled did not declare for revision
of the tariff downward nor did It give
the slightest intimation that the be-
lief la entertained by the great body
of Republicans throughout the land
that the tariff rates of the Dlngley law
are too high’
"Even the maximum and minimum
tariff plan which la advocated con-
templates according te the Economist
making the present rates— or other
‘adequately protective rates’ — tha
minimum and the Imposition ot still
higher rates to force fair treatment
from other nations We do not often
find ourselves In agreement with the
Economist But it seems to us-that
what It says about the amazing plank'
adopted at Chicago la true Every one
knows that there are hundreds of
thousands of Republicans nil over the
country demanding tariff revision in
the direction of lower rates Manu-
facturers who are held up by' the
trusts feel very deeply on this sub-
ject When the convention met it
knew Just what this demand was just
what it meant It knew that it could
not be silent on the tariff question
knew that it could not refuse to pre-
tend to promise n real revision
"And yet this convention put Itself
on record as favoring sufficient pro-
tectidn to put our manufacturers ab-
solutely on a level with those of other
lands and then to give them ‘a rea-
sonable profit besides This can
mean nothing else ' than what the
Economist says it means It is no
promise of revision dwonward The
proposition Is not to equalize condi-
tions here and abroad not to make
up to our manufacturers the excess of
the wages they are supposed to pay
over those abroad not to help them
out in the matter of raw material but
after having done all these- things
after having removed every obstacle
and taken off every handicap we are
to tax ourselves to give the manu-
facturers — such aa the steel trust — ‘a
reasonable profit So it la a great
victory for the standpatters The
Economist Is quite right For once It
la absolutely right The party has
thrown itself Into the arms of the
standpatters Taking this plank In
conneqtion with the refusal of the con-
vention to demand publicity for
campaign contributions and also
for campaign contributions and also
la connection with the great activity
of the agents of the steel trust at Chi-
cago It ts hard to see how aay tariff
reformer can get much hope from the
tariff plank of the Republican plat-
form Thera la leas comfort than
ever to be got from it now that the
American Economist a besotted high
tariff organ has commended It with
such touching enthusiasm"
Mr Taft la n lawyer and he says
organised labor esq "withdraw them-
selves and their associates from deal-
lags with or giving custom to those
with whom they are la controversy"
He says It however as a candidate
Aa a Judge he seat Flank Phelan to
Jail for doing it The supreme court
has mulcted tho Hatters’ union for do-
ing It aad the District pf Columbia

tempt for doing ’ft Candidate Taft

AN ISSUE THAT CUTE CHARILY
!a Its BMottsg at Bryan's eocatry
plaoe aaar Llaeola the Dsmocratia am
Uonal committee made a telling cam-
paign Issue with the Republican man
a zero by declaring that the Demo-
cratic party will not accept contribu-
tions from corporations that ao com
tributloa of more than 914900 will ha
aooepted from aay source aad that
every contribution ot more than 9100
will bo made public before tho e No-
tion Treasurer George R Bheldoa ot tho
Republican national committee has
ostentatiously proclaimed that eoatri-
buttons to tho RasohHooa (snttln
fond wilt beaa cordially welcomed
from corporations aa from Individuals
It makes uo dlffarenee to him where
tho money comes from Tho Repub-
lican party needs money to bo used
la Improperly laflueodng polities dur-
ing the campaign aad ho will tako it
from any source
Mr Sheldon's standards ot political
morality are quite as high aa those of
other Republican leaders aad cam-
paign managers ' He does not see the
Impropriety ot using lu politics tho
money of a corporation which by Its
charter caa have neither political
prindplcanor tho right to vote
Mr Sheldon and tho other Repub-
lican managers do not see the palpable
dlchonesty of accepting tram directors
of corporations money of stockbold-
ere which they have not voted tor po-
litical uses In their view the manipu-
lating corporation manager la every-
thing the property rights ot the Indi-
vidual stockholder nothing
In Ita platform and through the ac-
tion of ita national committee the
Democratic party has made for Itself
a higher code of political aad business
morality The code will stand not
for thla campaign only nor tor the
Democratic party alone It Is ao emi-
nently right that It will before long
be tbe only code tolerated It will be
the law of the land from one end of
tbe country to the other
The Hat of contributors to the Dem-
ocratic cause to be published before
the election will be a roll of honor In
which any good citizen may well be
proud to see hla name printed The
legitimate expenses of a presidential
campaign are necessarily large and
no one who believes that the Demo-
cratic party is right need be ashamed
to contribute In any way that he can
to its success

A Cincinnati dispatch to the New
York World says that two of tbe cam-
paign choruses sung nt the Taft noti-
fication meeting were as follows:
He’s no Billy Bryan fakir -We’ll
have It understood
When -he’s naked to show his hand
He alwaya has the goods
He’s a great big man don’t you ever
doubt it
And he Will keep on ' "growing now
' that he’s about it
He’ll be president' tbe people nil will
about It
And everybody knows he’s from Ohio
Me O my O dear old state Ohio
Mother and trainer of presidents
Maker and shaper of great events
We’re In it again in nineteen eight
Favorite son of our great state
He's not only big but he is great
Our candidate William H Taft
Maybe If be "keeps on growing now
that he ia about it” he will be able In
a few years to write hla messages
without sending them to tbe Jungles
of South Africa to be edited by the
gentleman who forced hla nomination
upqn the Republican party
NOT THIS YEAR -
The New York Post says: "The SL
Louis Times which represents the
opinion of the beat German element
In St Louis does not follow the lead
of the New York Staats-Zeltung In
supporting Bryan”
But perhaps the SL Louis Times
does not follow the lead ot the “Ger-
man element” Certain It 1s that
American citizens of German extrac-
tion are not to be led to the rapport
of special Interests by an editor who
either does not understand or does
not care to understand the dangers
of plutocracy - -
