THEIR HOLD INSECURE
DEMOCRATS ARE EY NO MEANS
FIRMLY IN THE SADDLE.
Consideration of Figures of the Recent
Election Are of Character ta
Give Little Comfort to
the Party.
tn the elections last, fall 53 members
of the hou. • of representatives were
chosen by margins faMiiis under 1.000. I
Of those men who owe their success to
a few hundred voters 31 are Demo
crats, 21 are Republicans and one is
the lone Social Ht, Berger, of Miiwau- j
kee. He fell mahy thousands of votes
short of a majority in his district and
pulled through by a plurality of 330
over the Republican candidate.
Of the 53 districts carried by less
than 1,000 margin 25 were won bj plu
ralities below 500. Of these seats
which were turned on the slenderest
of pluralities 13 went to the Democrats
and 11 to the Republicans. Berger,
the Socialist, the other.
On the face of the figures these facts
do not reveal their full significance.
They seem to leave the two great par- j
tics not very unequally placed in re- j
speet to dependence upon extremely
close districts. In reality there is a
wide difference.
The Republicans who carried dls-1
tricts by slender pluralities saved them
In the face of a general and heavy fall
ing off in their party's strength. They
showed that the seats they held could
be won in the worst of adverse years.
These districts may fairly be classed
as secure, even against a landslide for
the opposition.
The conditions are reversed in re
spect to close districts carried by Dem
ocrats. They profited by the same
general revulsion of public sentiment
which made Republican success ex
tremely difficult. Districts which went
Democratic last, fall by the narrowest
of pluralities are districts very likely
to be lost at the next congressional
election.
A change of 9,500 votes, in the right
places, would have reversed the result
of the struggle for the national house
of representatives. It would have
given the Republicans the full control
of congress by electing 31 Republicans
instead of Democrats in the districts
where the Democratic margin was less
than 1,000.
The present Democratic hold on the
house of representatives is exceeding
ly uncertain and liable to be lost in
the next general election. The margin
of the majority party in the next house
will look ample on roll calls, when the
Democrats stand together, but the
popular vote foundation beneath it is
astonishingly small and insecure.
Really Involves No Subsidy.
The Gallinger ship subvention bill
has been passed by the United States
senate, though by a vote so close that
the vice-president decided the tie,
registering himself in favor of the
measure. The act, should it become a
law, will authorize the postoifice de
partment to pay four dollars per mile
on the outward voyage to second class
American-built vessels plying between
ports in the United States and those In
the Philippines, China and Australia
and in South America south of the
equator. Payment of two dollars per
mile under the same conditions may
be made to ships of the third class. A
provision limits expenditures in any
one year to $4,000,000, or to an amount
not exceeding the surplus earnings of
the ocean carrying mail business. In
othe? words, this much-talked-of "sub
sidy" bill really involves no subsidy.
It simply permits the government to
expend, in aid of American ships car
rying the mails, the profits made in
one branch of the postal service. The
bill now goes to the house of repre
sentatives, where sentiment is thought
to be stronger in favor of this very
moderate plan for encouraging Ameri
can shipping.
Settle the Tariff Question.
When the Payne bill became a law,
its friends hoped, and expressed the
opinion, that the tariff would not be
an issue of pressing moment again for
at least ten years. They conceded that
the Democrats would continue their
agitation, but they did not expect it
to make much impression as against
a measure at once a good revenue pro
ducer and a harborer of the principle
of protection.
This proved to be a mistaken judg
ment. The tariff as an issue did not
disappear for a single week. Oppo
nents of the new law in both parties
continued to attack it, and in a little
more than a year after its enactment
they secured a verdict against it at
the polls. And what is now on the
cards, both as respects reciprocity and
recision of schedules, is in obedience
to that verdict. The question now is,
will the tariff question be settled in
the next ten years? The people want
it settled, and it is true that nothing
is settled until it is settled right.
Likes Tariff Commission Idea.
Revision of the tariff through a tar
iff commission, as advocated by Presi
dent Taft, is the sensible way. So
vital a matter as the readjustment of
duties on imports, involving, as it does,
the question of protection to industry,
the necessity of revenue and the inter
ests of the consumer, is one that calls
not for inexperienced tinkering, hut
for expert thought, as ably pointed out
by Mr. Lincoln C. Cummins, and Presi
•lent Taft's wise stand for a commis
sion composed of experts must merit
the commendation of all good citizens
who are Interested primarily in their
eountry'a welfare.—-Baltimore Ameri
can.

Division.' in the Democratic party?
Certainly. And on every important
subject. Tin-' can IK clearly traced ui

It must he remembered that tlie De
mocracy has been out of power a long
time, and in tha! time has been largely
engaged with experiments. It has
written some queer platforms. It has
made some strangn nominations. The
leading question it lias put to itself
has been: "What shall i do to get in
again ?"
For 14 years nothing it did availed.
Failure after failure was recorded.
Mr. Bryan was defeated three times
and Judge Parker once for president.
House after house !• 11 to the lot of the
Republicans. In the senate the Demo
crats dwindled to a small squad.
Last November tiiere was* a "kill
ing." But it did not come through
Democratic strength, but Republican
weakness. The Republicans fought
each other, while the Democrats walked
off with the spoil. It was the easiest
thing that ever eatne the Democracy's
way.
But. voted inio power in the house,
the Democracy must now have a pro
gram. It has at last got in again, and
the meaning of that is that the time
for experiments has passed. It must
agree upon something, anil support it.
Well would it have been for the Re
publicans if immediately after their
great victory in 1008 they had taken
stock of their divisions and settled
them. They were on the eve of a bit
ter row over the house rules. The tar
iff was to stir and distress them even
more severely. And yet they plunged
ahead as if ignorant of or indifferent
to the menacing situation. The result
was such a tumult in less than six
months after the victory that nothing
could stop it, and the party went to
defeat at the polls.—Washington Star.
Democrats and the Tariff.
Twenty-seven years ago this coming
spring Mr. Randall, supported by forty
odd of his Democratic friends, took oft
the head of the Morrison horizontal bill
in the house. That nullified the elec
tion of Mr. Carlisle to the speakership
so far as the tariff was concerned.
Four years later the Mills bill was
passed in the house as a response to
Mr. Cleveland's tariff measure of the
previous December, but it was so little
in accord with the spirit of the mes
sage that the tariff reformers in the
Democratic national convention which
renominated Mr. Cleveland practically
repudiated the bill and indorsed the
message.
Six years after that a Democratic
congress divided on the tariff ques
tion, and brought things political to
the ground with a smash. Mr. Wilson
of West Virginia presided over matters
In the house, and Mr. Gorman revised
the revision when it reached the sen
ate. The two men, although both Dem
ocrats, were far apart on the tariff, the
one being an anti-protectionist and the
other a protectionist.
Since then the Republicans have re
vised the tariff twice, and on both oc
casions there were Democratic sena
tors and representatives who sought
and obtained protection duties on arti
cles in which their constituents were
interested. "Call it what you please,
protection or what not, and I'm for It,"
said the late Senator Daniel very
frankly.
So now. There are protection Dem
ocrats and anti-protection Democrats,
and they are just as far apart as Mr.
Randall and Colonel Morrison were a
quarter of a century ago. Next year,
in both the house and the senate this
fact will be developed.
Extend Session of Congress.
The inauguration of the president so
early in the spring imposes danger
and hardship on those who participate
in it. The short session of congress is
not long enough.
When the federal calendar was ar
ranged many years ago it provided
amply for the necessities existing then.
But the country has grown immensely.
One appropriation bill now carries a
greater sum of money than was need
ed then to run the whole government.
Six weeks added to the short session
would relieve the situation common at
this time of the year. The present
congress could utilize the time advan
tageously to the country, to its own
membership and to the party which
controls it. It would seem that little
urging should be necessary to bring
about the adoption of the resolution.
Reform in Customs Payments.
It is said that the senate probably
will return to its original form the
bill authorizing the payment of cus
toms duties by certified checks—that
is, the senate will strike out the house
amendment which makes acceptable
certified checks of state banks and
trust companies, leaving only the
checks of national banks. It is pointed
out that the government has no au
thority over state banks and trust com
panies, but has constant supervision of
national banks. The treasury officials
at. any time can call 011 the comptroller
of the currency for Information re
garding a national bank. The chance
of loss from accepting certified checks
from state banks or trust companies is
so slight that the government might
well disregard it in the general desire
to facilitate business.
It is hard to please everybody with
a tariff, but the Republican party is
identified with the kind that has been
associated with general prosperity.

IT IS to lie the small hats for early
spring, made of exquisite, lustrous,
light braids, that is light in weight.
And th'-se little hats are soft, many of
them made without a wire frame, so
that they sit caressingly upon the hair
and conform themselves to the shape
of the head. And a few people have
jumped to the conclusion that be
cause hats are small, the matter of
dressing the hair will sink into one of
the unimportant and negligible details
of the toilette. Such a conclusion is
not reached by a course of reasoning.
If you have absorbed it,"l pray you
gentle lady, to unthink your speaking,
and to say so no more." The smal
hat, even more than the large one
demands a well dressed coiffure; fof
the coiffure is the visible means of
support of the little hat. Hair, in
pretty curls or fluffy waves, simply
must peep out from under the edges
of the hat and frame the face and
neck, otherwise the wearer will look
as if she were bald.
These small hats worn over a coif
fure from which a few stray puffs
and bobbing curls contrive to stray out,
and covered with a fine floating veil of
lace, are simply entrancing. These
veils come in a variety of fancy
weaves. Nothing is prettier than a
NIGHTDRESS IN ONE PIECE
Pattern Simple in Construction and
Garment Most Comfortable to
Wear.
Anyone who wants to make a night
dress with little trouble should use
this pattern, as it is very simple in
construction and comfortable to wear;
the sleeves are cut in with the body
part, an opening being made down the
left side; the neck is cut square and
trimmed with two rows of insertion mi
tered at the corners, but the pattern
is cut quite up to the neck, so that
one row of trimming only need be
used.
The sleeves are gathered into inser
tion-trimmed bands, and are finished
with lace.
Materials required: Four yards 36
inches wide.
Two Little Hints.
Do not throw away boot polish
when it has become hard through the
lid being left off, but place it on top
of a warm oven until It softens. I
have tried it and found it worth the
trouble.
To open a tin of black lead, pull
away the paper and put it in front of
the fire —on the fender will do. It
will open quite readily and better
than knocking the tin with a knife.
Care of Silk Gloves.
In trying on silk glomes cover the
bands well with talcun: and you will
not tear the gloves. If a seam rips,
do not whip it over and over. Turn
the glove, catch one side of the torn
part and then the opposite, going
back and forth, and the work will not
rip out. Do not knot the thread.
Mend a "nin" in a similar manner.
Brussels net with a little dot or fig
ure over the surface and a lace pat
tern in the border.
Two good models in small hats
are shown here. In Fig. 1 the round,
cap-like turban Is made of silk braid
in bright champagne color, the brim
and crown are both made of the braid,
sewed and afterward draped on the
fine light frame. These hats are not
for the amateur millinery, because
they require a knowledge of the art
of draping. The rosette and petal is
made of brown velvet and gold cord.
It is a beautiful color combination,
and suited to almost any color in the
costume.
The second hat is of an elegant braid
in black and white. It is trimmed with
a double collar of velvet and kid, and
finished with velvet covered buttons.
It is a cool and crisp combina
tion of black and white which we can
never hope to excel in elegance.
Imagine these hats on a head with
the hair drawn back and not appear
ing about the face and neck! The
pretty face and the pretty hats would
both be spoiled. The importance of
the coiffure with the small hat in
creases. They are both well worth
while.

WILL PLEASE THE INVALID
Pretty and Useful Trifles That Will
Lighten the Tedium of the
Sick Room.
Among the appropriate things for
the invalid are flower holders. These
can be fastened to the foot of the
bed, and are large enough to hold
three or four carnations or roses,
generally all that are to be allowed in
the sick room. Another acceptable
gift is a dainty piece of china—a
flower bordered plate, a gruel bowl of
eggshell thinness, or a fragile cup and
saucer of delicate design. Never mind
if these things are likely to break with
their first tumble; because of their
beauty, they will give enough pleas
ure, perhaps real benefit, to make
their possible short existence well
worth while. A lightweight leather
writing case, provided with a screw
top bottle of ink, compartments for
paper, envelopes, stamps, and pen and
pencil, gives the invalid who is
strong enough to write a certain feel
ing of independence. Some of these
cases have keys which add to their
usefulness. A pint or half pint
vacuum bottle, for keeping liquids
warm or cold, is another comfort-giv
ing gift for the invalid and a time
saving gift for the nurse or caretaker.

SCARF OF SHETLAND WOOL
One of the Prettiest and Most Com
fortable of the Season's
Head Coverings.
Something more than a coat is re
quired by the girl going forth in the
evening to some gala function or
other. She needs a head muffling, a
throat protector of some sort, and is
very well protected if she has velvet
or silk overboots and long wool mit
tens for the thin gloves. These things
make her comfortable, and if they are
selected they need not be clumsy or
unbecoming.
One of the cheapest and most re
warding head muffllngs of the season
is a Shetland wool scarf or auto veil,
for these pretty things can be worn
over the face. These filmy scarfs
come in all colors and pure white, as
well as in white with gay Scotch bor
ders. For a dark girl who is going to
have a bit of vivid color in her party
get-up the Scotch-border scarfs are
superb. They have a look of Mex
ican splendor and cost exactly one
dollar and ten cents each!
Novelties.
Nets are gaining in favor as a foun
dation for chiffon corsages, producing
a much softer effect than silk.
Large velvet bags with the personal
touch of an embroidered monogram
in one corner are much favored.
Among scarfs the newest material
is fine silk tricot, like glove silk.
These come in all the fashiomtbU
shades.
Many of the sleeves in the new
evening gowns are slushed, with anj
other material appearing underneath
