NOMINATE ELKIN
Borne Cogent Reasons Why the State ,
Boss Should Be Standard-Bearer.
It is not often that the North Ameri
can finds it possible to agree with the
machine or its organ in any matter of
state politics or local government—a
fact which goes far to confirm confi
dence in the correctness of the North
American's views—but it feels con
strained by the force of logic to ap
prove the selection of John P. Elkin as
the machine's candidate for governor.
By character, attainments and achieve
ment, Mr. Elkin is pre-eminently qual
ified to carry the standard of the or
ganization. The organ of the machine
truly says that "his career is one that
the young men might study with profit
to themselves." To a young man fit
ting himself for the practice of medi
cine, the study of a well-developed case
of cancer would be valuable. An as
pirant for judicial honors might de
rive benefit from thorough acquain
tance with the history of a Jeffreys or
a Bacon or the career of a Potter. To
the young Pennsylvanian ambitious
to serve his state in political office, we
heartily recommend studious contem
plation of the career of John P. Elkin.
The North American's reason for en
dorsing the choice of Mr. Elkin as the
machine candidate are not precisely
those advanced by the exuberant organ
in support of its action in making him
not only the organization's, but its
own especial favorite. The fact that
he "was born in a log house in Indiana
county" does not seem to be an ade
quate reason for nominating him; and,
moreover, when the statement is
coupled by the organ with the remark- 1
able assertion that Mr. Elkin "is self
made in every sense of the word," we
must necessarily doubt that he was 1
born in a log house or anywhere else.
Interesting as we may find this theory
of the autogenesis of an Elkin, it fails
to appeal to us with much force as an
argument in favor of a certain line of
political action.
The North American favors tho
nomination of John P. Elkin by the
machine for the single and simple rea
son that he is thoroughly representa
tive of the machine, the embodiment
and epitome of machine politics and
machine morals. He is "regularity"
personified. His record and the ma
chine's record are written in the same
hand and identical terms upon the
same page of Pennsylvania's political
history. When he began his political
career—the career which young men
might study with profit—he said to the
machine: "Where thou goest I will
go," and he has kept that pledge and
gone along not only without hesita
tion, but with joyous alacrity.
As the machine candidate for gov
ernor, John P. Elkin will command the
support of every political automaton
whose civic creed is expressed in the
word "regularity;" of every political
pervert whose guiding motto is "any
old thing to win;" of every retainer
of the bosses, big and little; every
client of the private license bureau,
and every mythical voter, dead or
alive, on the padded list. His name at
the head of the ticket will blazon its
character and leave no honest citizen
in doubt as to his own duty on election
day.
The North American is unqualifiedly
in favor of the nomination of John P.
Elkin by the Quay machine's state
convention. He is literally the "logi
cal candidate" of the gang and its
squalid organ.
Every American soldier who dies or
gets killed in the Philippine contest
dies a martyr to the greed and avarice
of commercial Republicanism in this
country. The boys in the field are
loyal, true, faithful and patriotic, but
the star chamber proceedings of the
Republican speculators that induced,
or rather commanded, the lamented
McKinley to got this country in its
present pitiable plight, if examined
into with the calcium light of truth
and righteousness, would blanche the
cheek of every American citizen with
shame. No wonder a national Re
publican convention would hiss out a
resolution expressing sympathy with
the struggling Boer republic.—Ramsey

Almnrd ConoortlonH Through Which

Men Who Cheat Themselves.
[Special Correspondence.]
If Solomon lived in our day, Instead I
of saying, "Of the making of books j
there is no end," he would say, "Of the j
concoction of absurdities through :
which to shirk duties there is no end." |
Modern existence is such a compllcat- j
ed network of results, each set of them 1
telling a different story, that by simply
suppressing some and referring to oth
ers we can justify our own conduct
and give a fine impression of the times
we live in. And it is so pleasant and
so easy for most men to retain that
which is flattering and drop that which
is not! Then most people forget that
humanity has not received omnipotent
[tower for evil. Evil Itself needs to he
associated with good. Through no oth
er process can It last for any long pc- !
riod. Any kind of mixture between :
good and evil makes the latter supreme !
in the ensemble of the most important j
results for any length of time. llow j
foolish, then, to arrive at any conclu- i
slon because something good is accom
plished in certain directions!
The most remarkable fact Is that the
very men who are always trying to |
cheat themselves and humanity by self (
Justification and pretensions of social j
conditions being better all the time are |
generally the ones who remain Inert, •
never attempting to suppress wrong or
create any consensus on the subject.
They practically do just the reverse.
They implicitly carry right and left the
conviction that wrong shall go off by
itself in due time and shall disappear
without the need of our doing anything
against it. Such people are really those
who keep wrong alive and growing all
the time, the law of life being a law of
growth. They may call themselves
conservatives, that being one of the
subterfuges by which Important duties
are escaped, avoided, laid aside. The
poor fellows don't see that conser
vatism has always meant destruction—
that Is, the prolongation of the king
dom of falsehood. Nothing worse than
that is possible, and if evil could be
made to talk by Itself, without the In
strumentality of men, It would declare
that conservatism is the best friend
that evil can have.
Harper's Weekly of Feb. 1 says in
Its editorial columns: "Not one In a
thousund men dare today to tell the
truth iu the important affairs of life,
either because lie lacks courage to
form any opinion of his own or has not
courage enough to express it when
formed and because It is against popu
lar sentiment. A habit is even created
on the subject by doing the same In
miall matters." It is wonderful how
?veil the most fossilized papers often
condemn the progress they are con
stantly glorifying. They do it uncon
scious of what they are about, with
out noticing that they thus contradict
the general tenor of their teachings;
they are all bent upon perpetuating our
organized and legalized social wrongs.
There we have the hidden power of
truth, making Itself felt even through
the public organs of error and false
hood, paid for by those who can pur
chase wrong and evil no matter how
high Its market price may be.
What we call abstract truth in rein- j
Hon to specialized facts not yet real- '
Ized is far more convincing, after all,
with sound minds than statements
resting on isolated facts, which, even
if true, may not amount to anything
because disconnected from other facts,
kept In the background or unknown
yet. Take now the debatable question
of whether our modern progress means
a positive advance or a mere fantastic
one invited by human conceit. Higher
than any human statements or asser- ;
tions referring to debatable subjects
even when backed by figures and facts J
subject to human prejudices or mis- j
takes, higher than all that stands the
following self evident reasoning proc
ess, "We cannot prove that humanity
is improving in the substantials of life
until we can at least show that a suf
ficient number of important men are '
at work in the suppression of funda
mental evils through precise, simple,
fundamental processes corresponding
to the Golden Rule established or pro
mulgated by Christ."
We all know that not one in five
thousand of our important men has
anything to say about any precise, fun
damental processes with which to de
stroy fundamental evils. They may
not even accept the idea that we have
any fundamental evils, or, if they do,
they will bring out that colossal ab
surdity of "Oh, but we are yet a fallen
humanity, unable to attack fundamen
tal evils. We have no right to Interfere
with such evils. All we can do is to
lie down flat and let the evils have full
play upon our bodies and souls."
And so there you have it. We are
good enough and have power to sup
press evil by 50 or (50 per cent, so that
we may be able to brag about our be
ing better than other men, something
that God alone can know. And there
our power comes to an end. We can
never complete the job in the suppres
sion of evil. A certain portion must bo
left alive for our own amusement. The
logic of our friends is wonderful.
And how can we suppress evil, how
can progress ever represent substan
tial, permanent improvement as long
as our self appointed teachers and
leaders cannot even tench the truth to
the rest, cannot lead the rest toward
channels of truth because they them
selves, leaders and teachers, have no
precise conceptions of truth, no faith
in their power to suppress evil? And
when shall the plain people learn how
to think and act by themselves? Thut
is the grund question. JOSE GKOS.
NEW SHORT STORIES
Glnd They Didn't Slioat Him.
Public curiosity as to who really se
cured to former Governor Thomas G.
Jones the appointment as federal dis
trict judge In Alabama lias never abat
ed. but it will be at last satisfied by
the following story told by the Mont
gomery correspondent of the Louisville
Courier-Journal in connection with
President Roosevelt's first southern
Democratic appointment: The man
who did It was General Stewart L.
Woodford of New York. Of course he
didn't do it all by himself, but he first
suggested It long before Mr. McKinley
died and when it was expected that
Judge Itruce would retire in February,
1902. General Woodford- and Judge
Jones have been warm personal
friends for many years. General Wood
ford was working up the matter with
Mr. McKinley and lmd an easy thing
of it with Mr. Roosevelt. All that Gov
ernor Jones ever did was to say he
would take the ottice.
The story was brought out by a sil
ver loving cup which Judge Jones sent
to General Woodford as a New Year's
present. The principal inscription reads
as follows: "Papa, I'm so glad we
didn't shoot him. Nettn." This inscrip
tion tells the story and originated in
this way: When .Mr. Jones was ap
pointed judge and went up liome to
dinner, the children put after him to
know who got It for him. He laughed
Hid answered, "Well. If anybody got it
for us it was General Stewart L.
Woodford."
"What! That Yankee general who
took dinner with us that time?" asked
his little daughter Nettn.
"He Is the man," answered the gov
ernor.
4 Papa, I'm so glad we didn't shoot
him!" exclaimed little Miss Nettn.
And that Is the story of a loving cup
that has both sentiment and political
history carved on Its shining surface.
How Gate* Fooled tlia Raffgar.
They ore telling a story on John W.
Gates. It Is that the other night lie had
eluded the swarm of beggars that hov
er around the Holland House, the Wal
dorf-Astoria, Delmonico's ami Sherry's.
Later he was accosted by u particular
ly insolent beggar, so very daring and
"GIVE MB THAT BACK."
aggressive that he promised to be in
teresting. Mr. (bites dug down into his
pocket, jingled some coins and pulled
out a quarter. This he gave to the beg
gar.
"You're a nice one, you are," said the
mendicant. "You'd spend that many
dollars for a luncheon, and you give a
man in hard luck that chicken feed."
"Excuse me," said Mr. Gates. "Give
me that back." He reached into his
pocket as if to draw out a larger coin,
and the beggar expectantly handed
back the quarter.
Mr. Gates put it in his pocket, re
marking that It would be useful for u
tip and walked into the lobby of the
Waldorf-Astoria.
According to the story tlie beggar
now takes his hat off every time he
sees Mr. Gates. Incidentally Mr. Gates
denies the story. Rut it is one of those
that are going the rounds in happy
Wall street.—New York Times.
Lawion'i Heady Wit.
Here is the latest story about Thom
as W. Lawsou which Boston is chuck
| ling over.
Late last summd a young woman
who is described as fresh was sitting
on the deck of a yacht in Marbleliead
harbor when Mr. Lnwson came boat
ing in on the Dreamer.
The young woman knew the copper
man slightly, nnd she took advantage
of the acquaintance to pick lip a mega
phone which was beside her, train it on
the Dreamer and shout:
"Hello, Mr. Lnwson! How's copper?"
It is related that without an instant's
hesitation Mr. Lnwson picked up a
megaphone in turn and thundered
back:
"Ilello, Miss Blank! How's brass?"
A Reconciliation.
i At the recent dinner of the Pennsyl
vania Society of New York ox-Attorney
I General W. U. Heusel of Pennsylvania
told the incident of the reconciliation
of Don Cameron and Allen G. Tliur
inan. They sat and talked a long time,
and when they were about to part
Thurman remarked:
"Well. Cameron, if I pass St. Peter, I
will tell him that when you come along
he must let you in. I will tell him you
are a good fellow, Cameron."
Thurman paused for a moment nnd
| then added reflectively, 44 And I will
also tell him he had better let you In
j or you will make a devil of a fuss out
side."
HINTS FOR FARMERS
Experiment Station Work.
Many of our farmers do not under
stand the work of the co-operative ex
' perinient stations inaugurated by the
department of agriculture and operat
ed in conjunction with the state sta
tions. In the northwestern states a se
ries of co-operative tests is being made
with wheat for the purp: se of originat
ing new strains of increased yields and
hardiness of the best varieties. For in
stance, the turkey red wheat, so suc
cessful in lowa, will lie taken gradual
ly farther north and seeds saved only
from plants that survive the severest
freezes. These will be propagated from
and the progeny taken still farther
• north, where similar tests will be made.
In this way it is expected varieties will
j he originated that will be perfectly
! hardy to our utmost northern bouiul
j ary. Similar experiments are being
| made with other plants. Thus it is
I hoped that winter wheats, which large
| ly outyiekl the spring wheats, will be
; made to take the place of the spring
varieties heretofore used in all high
latitudes. A similar process lias so nut
lira lizod the southern cowpea that now
they are successfully grown in Minne
sota and Wisconsin. In the southwest
the macaroni wheat tests are expected
to revolutionize wheat growing, but it
is too early now to predict results in
tills line, though there is every reason
to believe these wheats will prove emi
nently successful in tills section. These
and the many other experiments under
process at the state stations require
considerable outlays of money. Many
, of the states make liberal appropria-
I tions to supplement the liberal endow
ment by the general government and
are reaping substantial benefits from
this government aid, and some of the
states do not. If farmers fully compre
hended the importance of this experi
mental work and would vote accord
ingly for legislative officers, it would
be different.—Dallas Farm and Ranch.
The Ideal Farm Horne.
Probably the Ideal farm horse best
Illustrates the kind of animals needed
for the farm. A good plow horse or
farm horse Is a heavy hut not clumsy
animal and one capable of exerting
great power and endurance in plowing
or hauling. At the same time the ani
mal must be a fair road horse, not a
trotter, but. one that can get across the
country roads at a moderate pace.
The animal should also he a fast
walker and not a slow, clumsy, mule
like creature. Such ideal farm horses
are bred now nnd to be found 011 thou
sands of farms. No farmer of any
progress.!veness would think of walk
ing behind some of the old, slow walk
ing farm horses of a dozen years ago.
Such an animal performs about one
half the work that a model farm horse
does in a day.—C. W. Knox in Massa

Convenient For an Ot!(l Corner and
Eaiy to Mae,
An India seat is convenient for an
o(]*l corner and not difficult to manu
facture. One should select hard, fine,
close grained wood, hard maple being
very satisfactory for this purpose. The
four corner posts are turned from three
inch stuff averaging two inches when
done, nnd they should be sixteen and a
half inches high. Seven inches from the
top, where the leg is largest, insert
smooth, round pieces of wood twenty
one inches long and glue them firmly
in place. Next, unite the four legs by
rounds fourteen inches long fastened
firmly in place. Into these rounds, at
the ends. Insert three short rounds,
each seven inches long. Place one in
the center and the others at a distance
of two inches on either side. Glue the
tops into a similar round of wood. Ex
amine a chair where the rounds are set
in, and you will understand how this
framework is put together. By study
ing the illustration you will ndtice that
the top rail for the front and back is
hollowed so that the middle Is two
inches lower than the ends. The three
other shirt rails are fastened in place
exactly like that just described. Head
less nails, or brads, as they are some
times called, should be used, as well as
tlie glue, to hold the parts together.

stcrer's tacks, which should be put

A satisfactory lacquer or varnish
may be made by stirring a tcaspo mful
of the prepared powder that comes for
dyeing purposes .into a tablcspoonful
of white shellac. When well mixed,
add one-fourth pint of the varnish, stir
well and allow it to stand a little while
before using, that the color may be
clear and even. Bismarck and violet
produce a beautiful brown, green and
bismnrck a nice olive. Use magenta
and orange for scarlet. For darker
stains the orange or dark shellac
should bo used. Varnishes thus pre
pared are transparent, showing the
grain of the wood, which adds greatly
to the general effect.

Much of what we call pleasure in life

beauty and joy in the duties that .lie
nearest and to inspire the brain with
admiration for the best possible work
the hand can find to do. I can hear a
?oming ripple of disapproval of this
doctrine from the old housekeepers
who read this story which resembles
•lie grunts of disgust I have heard so
often. We will hope they will not
stumble upon it, for while I am an old
housekeeper 1 am not a disgruntled

boy named Johnny Green, who in pre-
paring his spelling lesson was wicked J
enough to study only the words that
would "come" to him.
One day one of the boys of the class
was absent, but Johnny was not aware
of this until lie came into the class.
The spelling then was done orally, and
a strange word was given to Johnny.
"Please, teacher," lie said, "that ain't
