Items of Interest for the Women Folk
The "Florence Nightingale" caravan of
the Woman's Imperial Health association
of Englanr! was Inaugurated at the Royal
Botanical grrdans In London a short time
ago by the Yi-scountess Helmaley. The idea
Is to drive the large wagon through the
thickly populated districts of ths country
and visit the cottages of the poorer classes
of villagers, distributing literature and giv
ing Bhort lectures on the science of proper
living. Miss Crandell and Miss Lawson,
both prominent in ths new society, are un
dertaking the first Journey in ths caravan.
Miss Frances A. Kellor has Just been ap
pointed chief Investigator In the State
Labor department of New York. She Is to
have entire charge of the new bureau of
industries and Immigration created by the
last legislature, and to receive a salary of
$2,500 per year. Miss Kellor was selected
for the position because of her familiarity
with the problems committed to the bureau.
As director of the Inter-Munlclpal Com
mittee on Household Research, she made
special Investigations of employment
agencies several years sgo and wrote the
first publication of the committee, a book
entitled "Out of Work." Later, she was
appointed by Governor Hughes as a mem
ber of the special commission on Immigra
tion. It Is reported that she will turn in
her whole salary to help out the meagre
appropriation for ths bureau.
Children's millinery Is so Blmple this sea
son that much of It could be safely at
tempted by the home or amateur milliner.
For Instance, a dainty, yet practical
model Is a small mushroom shape of fine
felt, trimmed around the crown with a
ribbon shirred on both edges with a cord.
At the left side, front, a prim rosette of
ribbon could be the finish, or a tight little
bunch of rosebuds set Into a circle of the
shirred ribbon. A third decoration could be
a couple of ribbon wings springing from a
motif made, from soutache braid and a
little cord.
Dr. Lydla De Witt, new assistant city
bacteriologist of St. Louis, Is the first
woman physician to enter the employ of
the Health department there. She was In
structor In pathology and embryology at
the University of Michigan, from which
she was graduated In ISftS. Dr. De Witt Is
described as a motherly looking, gray-
haired woman, who is an authority In her
own line of work, and. Incidentally, a be

Dear.
How much that little word
expresses, and how little!
We write "Dear Madam" to
a woman we never saw; ws
write "Dear Fir" to a man we
hope will choke. And we say
"my dear" to the young per
son who sells us a sack of
salted peanuts, or something
of the kind.
And sometimes we writs
"Dear" to a man who rcaiiy
becomes dear to us; not that
we love him. oh no. We would
read his death notice with
the most unfeigned pleasure.
But the fact that we have
called him "dear" will forever
rise up and slap us In ths
face. Just at the most unex
pected time. He bec6mes truly
dear, In the sense that he
costs us something every time
we turn around.
And, like the "moving
finger." It Is writ and has
passed on,
nor all our piety or wit
Can lure It back to cancel
half a line.
Nor all our tears blot out
a word of It."
And that Is why somebody
wishes he hadn't written
"Dear Bartley."

Does It pay to be on the

CHIRICAMOO, Baffin's Bay
Land, Oct. 87. (Special by
Airless and Wireless Com
bined.) Something came here
today that looks like the re
mains of a balloon. From
marks discovered on the bag,
It Is believed to be from Ne
braska. The words "Grand
Island," and "August" are
easily read on Its label, and
the figures "1910" may be
made out, but the rest of the
label has been deciphered.
It seems to have been a bal
loon that waa sent up about
that time, and that was later
abandoned.
' If the party had stuck to the
floater, ejid come down where
It was discovered, a new rec
ord would have been estab
lished. In the debris of the wreck
were found some scraps of
paper, on which some hur
riedly written sentences may
be made out. One of these
starts "Dear B " and an
other reads "Ed Ho ," but
neither Is complete. One
word by ltKelf seems to be
"black in " as If the writer
had in mind "negroes" or
something of that sort
nothing In the country
over which the balloon must
have passed In Its flight could
suggest "black men," for the
Inhabitants are either red or
white.
A fuller report will bs sent
later.
This message from our cor
respondent In the Baffin's
Bay country unquestionably
has reference to the boom for
I'nUed States senator referred
to In these columns last week
It was then thought the boom
had gone so high It woulil
never come down, but it ap

Ths presidential and congressional cam
paign of 1800 presaged the first political
"landslide" In the annals of the republic.
It was more, however, thsn a mere party
victory for the democrats, for It ended for
ever the career of ths federalist partr and
forever established the right of the peo
ple freely to discuss the official acts and
policies of all governmental officers. While
the federalists had been successful In cap
turing the house of representatives In 1798,
their victory was due solely to the French
war panlci and perfervld patriotism. The
alien anl sedition laws passed In July,
1798. had not been In effect long enough to
counteract the Influence of tthe X, T, Z
conspiracy of the "off year election. Be
fore the new congress assembled the war
panic hd psssed away and the democrats
were Inviting the attention of the people
to the odious sedition law which was used
by the federalists In office for the purpose
of Imprisoning every editor or pamphleteer
who criticised Prroldent Adams or any of
ficial of his administration.
The grand Jury of Hamilton district,
Tennessee, then far on the frontier, took
ths first formal action In proteet against
ths alien and sedition laws. It was a
mooted question whether or not even an
official body could criticise congress for
passing these laws without laying Its mem
bers liable to imprisonment. In ths Vir
ginia legislature a delegate, J. Taylor of
Caroline county, offered a resolution as
serting ths right of members of the legis
lature to Immunity from the penalties of
the sedition law l any member should
In conscience be constrained to charre
congress with an Infraction of the cnnstl
tlon In ths passage of the law. In these
modern times when someone assails almost
every act of congress as being unconstitu
tional, ths language of Mr. Taylor's reso
lution seems to be very mild Indeed. But
H was not then so regarded. Ths New York
Dally Advertiser, a federalist publication,
In commenting on this resolution said:
How con we restrain our Indignation at
such proceedings? They have thus dis
played their real character and views. They
have proclaimed their bltter enmity to the
government Shams on such prostitution
confusion to their counsels may the name
rrl J. Taylor of Caroline county, Virginia,
and his ooadjutors bs held In everlasting
contempt!"
But as democ ratio editors wers being
Jailed almost every week by partisan Judges
and packed Juries, the people became
bolder and It was resolved that state legis
latures should be asked to make formal
protest. Mr. Jefferson prepared a set of
resolutions which was adopted by the Ken
tucky legislature, and a similar set was
soon after passed In ths Virginia legisla
ture. These Kentucky and Virginia resolu
tions, In after years and when new Issues
had arisen, often have been denounced as
ths germs of the subversive doctrines of
nulllfcatlon and secession. However Just
such criticisms may be, ths resolutions
taken into consideration with contemporary
politics are not nearly so revolutionary nor
nearly so subversive of constitutional gov
ernment as were the tyrannical and unjust
laws which they were designed to combat
The sedition law was passed by ths fed
eralist congress against ths advice of
Hamilton, who had come to hats Adams.
After ths election of 179S, and after the
French war panic had ceased, the sedition
law was called into operation solely to
punish those who dared to criticise the
administration. Needless to say only demo
crats were Imprisoned. Political lampoons
of that day were outrsgeously severe and
both parties mads use of unscrupulous
scoundrels who might be hired to utter ths
most unspeakable slanders. At this dis
tance it appears that both parties were
equally guilty. The difference was that
when a democratic pamphleteer called John
Adams the tool of the British government
and the friend of monarchy, he would be
sent to Jail; while a federalist writer might
declare with Impunity that Jeffersoa was
an aetheistlo scoundrel bent upon ths de
struction of all government and property.
Toward the end of the Adams administra
tion and when the campaign of 1800 was
fairly launched, Hamilton wrote a letter
atacklng the record of Adams and using
language quite as scurrilous as any that
Lyon, Bachs or Callender had used. But
the federalist administration did not dare
to Invoke the sedition law to silence Ha mil
ton, and the country had a new and strlk
ing illustration of tho fact that ths law
was designed solely to muxzle democrats.
When the campaign opened the lssus be
tween ths two parties was Joined upon
the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions.
Ths federalists attacked Jefferson and
Madison as the authors, and their follow
ers as ths supporters of these resolutions
which they charged sought to disrupt the
the union and destroy the constitution.
Jefferson and all the other democratic
leaders defended the resolutions on ths
ground that they were necessary to pre
serve ths constitution, since the tights of
the people under ths fundamental law had
been violated by ths enactment of the
alien and sedition laws nullifying free
dom of speech and of ths press, notwith
standing ths guarantees of ths constitu
tion. Jefferson and ths democrats at that
time firmly believed that It was the Inten
tion and purpose of the feederallst party
to create a strong government for ths
benefit of an established aristocracy and
to the detriment of the Interests of the
people. That the federalist congress and
president had in fact nullified ths guar
antees of the bill of lights was to them
sufficient proof of ths svtl Intent of Adams
and his followers. On ths other hand,
Adams and most of ths federalists were,
enuallv sincere In bellevlna' that Jefferson
and the democrats desired only to over
throw all government and to substitute
anarchlo chaos for constitutional order.
Neither party gave ths other thee slightest
credit for honesty of purpose or sincerity
of conviction.
In 1800, for the first time, candidates
wers chosen by ths parties. Adams was
nominated for president by a secret caaous
of the federalist members of congress, with
Charles C. Plnckney for vice president
The democratic members of congress, also
In a secret caucus, nominated Jefferson
for president and Aaron Burr for Tics
president. In those times, under the origi
nal provisions of the constitution, each
elector cast his vote for two candidates
for presldenet, the one receiving ths great
est nuinbsr, being a clear majority, to be
president, and ths one receiving the next
(Highest number to bs vice president Con
trary to ths practice which ever since
then has obtained, mors attention was
paid to the congressional campaign than
to the presidential election, and while all
the democrats unquestionably were for
Jefferson for president e.11 of the seventy
three democratic electors voted both for
Jefferson and Burr and thereby caused a
tie. Of course, the election then went into
the house of representatives.
Whatever was left of ths vitality of ths
federalist party after the elections In 1800
was utterly destroyed by the action of the
federalist leaders In congress In entering
Into a conspiracy to elect Burr president.
Ths federalists, who had all during the
campaign denounced the democratic orga
nization for Its desirs to break up the
union, were now ready to plungs the
country Into civil war by preventing the
election of a president at all. or by trick
and chicanery controverting the manifest
will of ths people. On the other hand.
Jefferson did not scrupls to promise high
office in return for votes In ths houss. It
was an era of "practical politics," and
the wonder Is that ths young nation was
abla to survive It.
As a matter of fact, the results of ths
election of 1800 preserved the union. Mr.
Jefferson In a letter outlined the principles
of ths democrats In that campaign, as "the
preservation of rights unquestionably re
maining with the states; the freedom . of
religion and of ths press, trial by Jury,
economical administration of ths govern
ment; opposition to war,; to standing
armies, to ths paper money system, and to
all connection, other than commercial, with
any foreign nation." Tne administration
then In power had successfully interfered
with the freedom of the press and ths right
of trial by Jury. No such attempt has been
made since ths election of 1800.
In that election, although ths federalists
Invoked ths aid of svsry great name pos
sible, the demoorats won an overwhelming
majority of the house, electing seventy-ont
members as against thirty-four federalists.
Ths ssnate, alio, for ths first time, came
Into control of the democrats, by a vots of
1 to 13. Before the election of 1802 the
membership of congress had bean Increased
and the second congress of Jefferson's ad
ministration had In ths senate twenty-four
democrats and ten federalists; and In ths
house, 103 democrats and thirty-sight fed
eralists. Although ths federalist party
for many years waa to retain a ghost of
an organisation and was to bs represented
In both houses of congress. It was dead
as a militant political organisation and it
never again was to havs any part or parcel
In the affairs of government. One of ths)
last ' and by all odds the greatest achieve
ment of the Adams' administration was
ths appointment of John Marshall to the
supreme bench. The election of Jefferson
and the appointment of Marshall at the
same time by a peculiar coincidence so
balanced and checked ths centrifugal and
centripetal forces In ths government that
the beginning of the nlnstsanth century
marked a new epoch In ths constitutional
history of the country which, In essentials,
still sndures.
