Those Celestial Kentuckiani.
As permanent chairman at Balti
more Senator 011i Jam' gave the
convention a true sample of genuine
Kentucky oratory, with- htf apos
trophes flying skyward. Ascending
to the heights of hit peroration, he
paused on the mountainside to pay a
fervid tribute to. Mr. Bryan, whose
name, be said, would live on in his
tory, "etudded by a thousand flaming
stars." What a match for Colonel
Watterson's illustrious and somewhat
venerable ''star-eyed "goddess of re
form."
Kentucky oratory reveals an in
stinctive aversion for mundane fig
ures, 'findfng the outlet penerally in
the firmament best suited with celes
tial compliments to the brilliant fire
works of impassioned speech. But
think of a. "star-eyed . goddess of
reform" being "etudded with a thou
sand flaming stars.'" A constellation
almost divine is surely, more than
democratic. . ..

fueling between a Vermont democrat

The Ear to Compromise.
. Propositions for all sorts of deals
and compromises were doubtless
made, at Chicago as feelers by men
who clung to the end to th hope of
getting all factions together. It is
doubtful," however, whether any of
them were made with real authority,
and certain that none of them were
made with any expectation of being
executed without the prior assent of
the two principal candidates. So
long as Colonel Roosevelt kept vocif
erating that there would be no com
promise candidate "except me" there
could be no incentive for the support
ers of President. Taft to give serious
consideration to the claims of anyone
else. No one will deny that many
delegates committed to all the vari
ous candidates would have welcomed
a harmonious solution of the prob
lem before them, but the unyielding
attitude of Colonel Roosevelt was the
insuperable bar confronting them
from start to finish. .
A New Hatpin Law. ,
The meddlesome men of Chicago's
city, council propose another law to
regulate woman's hatpins, suggesting
that their length shall not exceed the
width of the hat brims. This council
may be composed of practical jokers,
or, possibly, of blind men, who have
never really observed the width of
women's hats.
, No onewho has wiggled his peril
ous way through the isle of a crowded
street car, "all horrent with, projected
spear," could expect such restriction
to remove the imminence of . danger.
it might be all right to stop the
deadly dagger at the boundary line
of the hatband, but to run it out to

Another Job for the School.
' "When the average girl of 10 can
not make a doll dress, then it is time
for the public school to step in and
teach her," exclaims a delegate to
the San Francisco conclave of
woman's clubs..: "By all means, for
the doll dress ,must be made at all
hazards. Away with such old ' fogey
functions as teaching 'rlthmetlc, read
ing and 'ritlng for a school, anyway.
They are about, as-much in place
there as. making' doll dresses is in
the home! ( ' -
i
But where would the good women
stop with subtracting from the home
and adding to the school? There must
be a limit somewhere to save the
home from closing up shop and going
out of business and the school from
being entirely swamped. Would it
not be better to let the home go on
with its own work and let our re
formers encourage . negligent moth
ers rather than discourage them by
Snatching a duty ill-done out of their
hands? The child, after all, be
longed to. the .home and the mother

"Don't b so rough,"
Another said; - -"Be
careful how .
You hold its head!
Don't squeeze it so, . ,
Give it to me
If you can't hold
It properly." .
They buried advice
From every side,
But wrong was
Everything I tried. '
Until at last '
I gave it back
Arid grabbed my hat
And left the snack.
Take it from me, .
It is no snap
To hold a baby
On your tap! ". ..
