Candidate Snerman do? not join in the chorus for Publicity, but then "Shgrt Weght Jim" always was a re actionary. It must jar the "sunshine club" to hear the report from the Labor lead ers that 84.000 men are still unem ployed in the bulding trades. This extreme anxiety of the candi dates that the dear people shall know all about the campaign funds must delight the soul of Mr. Roosevelt and "My dear Harriman." The reported interview between an emisary.of Mr: Hearst and Hitchcock the chairman of the Republican Nat ional Committee, would indicate some phony politics this year. You have probably noticed that the Republican platform is silent in regard to an income tax. Republicans lis:e Rockefeller, Harriman, Morgan et al are opposed to such a tax. Judge Taft says there wilf be real publicity in the campaign, but treas urer Sheldon says "after" the cam paign is over. But Taft of course will know nothing about campaign contributions. A gentleman who has kept up with the Senatorial race says in his opinion Smith and Evans will be in the second race. Both of these gen tlemen will get a big vote in Orange burg County. The colored men of New York laave organized a "Negro Anti-Trust and Tariff Reform League." In this they seem to have more political sense than the white voters have as for as heard from. If there was any truth in the re port from Atlanta of a deal between the Democrats and Tom Watson to throw the electoral vote of Goergia for the latter, it had better for all concerned be reconsidered. Hearst says* he has lost faith in the Democratic party and its lead ers. Honors are about easy. Ev erybody has lost confidence in Hearst except little John Temple Graves and a few other salaried henchmen. Tom Watson, The People's party candidate for President, says that Bryan ought to have a Southern man for his running mate. No doubt Watson thinks he is the Southern man who should be Bryan's running mats.. Twelve mysterious checks were re ceived by treasurer Sheldon when he was conferring with Taft at Hot Springs, but you will have to wait until '"after election" know the names of the malefactors of great wealth who contributed. . Mr. Sheldon, Taft's choice for Treasurer of the Republican Commit tee, believes money from the Trusts and corporations is not "tainted." We expected as mucL, and later on expect to hear there i are no male factors of great wealth if they con tribute freely. It was brought out in the investi gations in Washington that Haerst xvas buying his white paper from the Paper Trust at a lower figure than most any other paper. This may be his reason for trying to defeat the Democratic party. He wants to heli> the paper trust. That, was a good cartoon in the Philadelphia Record of July 14. which depicts Rooseelt trying to op en i!!-1 prosperity safe of which he has lost the combination. Taft stands near in evident perplexity and a hard Time.; calendar has the'months from Janurary to .Itme marked with a cross. Althen 'i Treasurer Sheldon has not ye; made it public, it is reported that Ri kefeller pave his check for $1,000,000. and the Standard Oil di rectors have ordered $2,000,000, to be paid to the Republican campaign fund. It is of course understod that the suit for the $40,000,000 fines wil be nolle prosed. The Fort X\\\ Times says "Gov ernor Ans< l was in Philidelphia when William J. Bryan was nom inated Friday morning and a news paper re porter asked him ii* he was pleased with the selection of M*\ B:yaa. The governor replied that he had nothing to say. It is to be hoped that tl? reporter told him who Mr. Bryan is." Wonder if the Governor wants any votes from the Bryanites. Republican Publicity. There is to be Publicity of cam paign contributions and expenses, law or no law. William Nelson Cromwell, Harriman's lawyer, has fixed it. I Taft, the candidate,^ says so and laugns. Sherman will say. me too. Hitchcock looks wise and smiles. George Rumsey.Sheldon declares: "I have always been in favor of publicity." We know it must be all true for after Mr. Taft had ordered and the committee had elected Hitchcock for Chairman, and Sheldon for I Treasurer, Mr. Taft and the com mittee seemed rather doubtful how Mr. Sheldon, the banker of 2 Wall Street, New York, would be regard ed by the voters, so the following certificate of character and prom ise of publicity was given out offi cially: "Mr. Sheldon is selected on reccommendation of Cornelius N. Bliss. He is president of the Union League Club, of New York, and was the Treasurer of the Republican State Committee during the campaign of Mr. Hughes for Governor of New 3 York, and rendered a complete statement under the Publicity law of that State of the receipts and expenditures of the cam paign. This was one of the reasons that induced his selec tion as the law of New York re garding publicity will apply to his action as treasurer of the National Committee." What the other "reasons" were that induced candidate Taft and the committee to select Mr. Sheldon as treasurer of the Republican Nation al Committee can be judged when we inspect the list of Trusts and Corporations of which, according to the "Directory of Directors" he is actively connected with. Mr. Shel don is director ia the following trusts and corporations: American Locomotive Company. American Locomotive Automobile Company. Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Cincinnati Northern Railroad Company. Detroit Edison Company. Electrical Securities Corporation. Laclede Gaslight Company. Locomotive and Machine Company of Montreal (limited.) Locomotive Security Company. Metropolitan Trust Company. Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company. , Milwaukee Light, Heat, and Traction Company. National Copper Bank. New Jersey Terminal, Dock and Improvement Company. North American Company. Republic Steel & Iron Company of New Jersey. Rogers Locomotive Works. St. Louis Transit Company. Union Bag and Paper Company of New Jersey. Union Electric Light and Power Company. Union Electric Light, Heat and Powder Company of St. Lo?is. That candidate Taft dotes on Pub licity as a matter of policy is, of course, natural, that Hitchcock will publish every evening what he has received and expended is doubtful but that Sheldon will not rest any night during the campaign until he has given to the newspapers just how much Rockefeller, Morgan, Harriman and the other malefactors of great wealth, and the Trusts and Corporation magnates have paid and the amount ana to whom he has distributed the boodle is certain for does he not say 'he is and always has been in favor of publicity." The Sunshine Song. Many of the Metropolitan news papers are encouraging their read ers to believe that there is a return 'of prosperity. Not promised pros perity,, but the real thing?on pa fper. The Brooklyn Eagle reports that there is actually a shortage of unskilled labor at Pittsburg. As Brooklyn is evidently doubtful of the amount of prosperity on tap and still in the dumps, the Eagle tries to rally the spirits of its citi zens by saying: "Pittsburg does not mince matters. It has no doubts. It does not hesitate to say that prosperity has returned. It points to the railroads having their headquarters in that city, and shows that they have order ed their repair shops on double time. It points out jubilantly that many of the railroads have been caught short of cars in this "sudden return of prosperity." So the car buiiding companies are preparing themselves to meet the big demand." There has b?en, it is true, a stud ied attempt to revise business at Pittsburg, but the improvement is so small as to hardly be noticeable and there are still thousands of men ur employed. The fact that there are rrtfles of unemployed engines and cars on side tracks ever 300.000 of them, and that the gross earning s of railroads are still showing a large loss from last year hardly proves the truth of the claims sent out by the Pittsburg Sunshine Club boom ers. The Chicago Record-Herald is another organ of the Sunshine Club t^at see< "real signs r>f impr"vp m.Mu" arid/t'C w 's ihv si'ne Mispir ing song from Pakburg. It will be noticed that these Sunshine songs are always about prosperity in some other city than where they are pub lished. Prosperity is as elusive these days, and as slippery to pin down and hold, as a Republican pol itician. In fact, the Record-Herald lets the cat out the bag and plainly shows that these Sunshine songs are for political effect for it concludes by saying: "And now for : sane and rat ional presidential campaign, without silly and needless a - larms and dire prophesies, in the interest of reviving prosper ity as well as for the sake of the general fitness and decency of things," That, of course, means that the people must be fooled into believing they are prosperous, even if the din ner pail is empty or has but little in it. Vote for Taft the prosperity re viver and keep the Republicans in power "for the sake of the general fitness and decency of things." Hearst and His Party. William Randolph Hearst is the only man that has ever owned a po litical iparty in this country. He has several jumping jacks, like lit tle John Temple Graves, who pre tend to joint ownership with him but it is all a ^blind. Hearst owns the whole thing. John Temple Graves and all the other little jump ing jacks that are now on his pay rolls. Little John Temple Graves even aspires to be the candidate of ; the Hearst party for President, and if he can get Hearst to put his mark on him he will receive the small honor of leading the forlorn' hope of the only personally owned i political party that has ever existed in this country. They are moving heaven and earth to make some sort of a showinr in the presidential election and?o sequently the Hearst papers prof es- i o be greatly disap pointed in Bryan and the Democrat ic platform. The Charleston Eve ning Post says they ought^o be, as it is most provokingly indictated, that both are c-instituted to bring about the election of a Democratic President in November. "How, in the name of all that is evasperat ing," asks the Post, "will William Randolph Hearst, candidate, or backer of the Independence League meet that,plan of publishing con tributions before the election? Will itjaot appear that he furnishes the sinews of war for that aggregation? There may be worse ways of spend ind money, but there is little doubt that without generously opening his pockets. Hearst's influence would shrink; and yet how would it look to have it published to the world that with that striking name 'Inde pendence League' it is yet managed by mercenaries." A Good Thing to Drop. Under the above caption Editor Loyless, of the Augusta Chronicle says "the proposition pending in the Georgia Legislature to require Gov ernor Smith to state his reasons for suspending Hon. Joseph M. Brown from the railr.oad commission ought to be referred to the graveyard committee^r put upon the calender ?way down: or disposed of in some other manner where it would sleep without waking." He rightiy says "the preposition involves an unnecessary and unjustifiable hum ilation to Governor Smith. This gentleman is still our governor and State pride forbids any action which might reflect or look like a reflec tion upon our chief executive with out a most serious and pressing ne cessity. None such exists in the present case. The whole affair is old, time worn, out of date, past and gone. Let it rest." Editor Loyless opposed Gov. Smith, which gives the article greater force, and it should be heeded by the Georgia Legislature, The high ground up on which the article is based does credit to the magnanimous and able editor of the Chronicle, who scorns to strike a fallen political foe. Judge Parker, who was the Dem ocratic Presidential candidate four years ago, thinks Bryan has a good chance to win ane says he will take the stump for him. Thos. Luwson, author of "Fren zied Finance," has declared his in tention to support Bryan ;:nd Kern. Lawson is a life long Republican and a closo L-'end of President Roosevelt, but he says he can't go Taft. ~Po; Sent. ~" The little cottage No 23 (ireer t. [7-13-tf A mil; to C.

In jelly making season it is a good Idea to procure some of the tiniest tum blers that are on the market for sale an:' for.iV rblklren's pc-uooI luneh e:t.. i:;.'X. v in.c. While preserving, any of the fruit juice that is left over after filling the cans may be put In the IcTjox and used up in the fresh apple pies or poured over the baked apples or pears. Flannel jelly bags are of course the best, and when making them make two or three for use in case of acci dent They should be fresh each year, for in one season they grow hard and too close and thick for use. All preserve skimmings may be saved and thrown Into the vinegar barrel or demijohn, as they make "mother," the so to speak parent of the finest vinegar. Do not forget that apricots make de licious jam. which, if not made too stiff, is fine for the filling of fruit tarts for early fall pastry. Their season in market is short, and If we do not make a note of it the season is apt to slip by before we realize it and our chance is ,gone. Blackberries have grown somewhat into disfavor recently by the unpleas ant discovery of the prevalence of bugs on them, which breed in the wood and from which they crawl into the inter stices of the berries, and no ordinary washing seems to dislodge them. If the berries are to be used for jelly. throwr them into a cheesecloth bag and lightly squeeze them cold. Then there is no danger from tiie odor of the bug. Nearly all the juicy fruits make good shortcakes, with the adding of whip ped cream; also roily poly puddings served with brandy sauce, while blue berries are excellent in cake as well as pie. For the ever popular "tuttl frutti jar start with one pint of French brandy, one cup of sherry and a half cup of rum. Then to eacfl cup of fresh fruit add a cup of sugar. Pro ceed in this way with each fruit in its season. At the end add a half pint more of brandy and keep in a dry cool place, carefully covered, and stir with a wooden spoon once or twice month. ?Pineapple, sliced. thin, with the' hard centers cut-out, rolled in raw egg and cracker dust, then fried in hot lard drained and olive put in the center of each slice, is excellent served with broiled cod or halibut steaks. The cucumber cutters that scallop the edges of the slices make them look very dainty. With white lettuce leaves chopped walnut meats, grated pineap pie and heavy mayonnaise they make a delicious salad. Take out the inside of a ripe water melon, free it fron* seeds and cut it in cubes or balls, place in a dish and pour over it a pint bottle of champagne and chill it. When ready to serve put it back into the hollowed out half rind that has also been chilled and place on a bed of grape leaves. Archery Popular With Women. Only three of the competitions at the approaching Olympic games in London will be open to women. They are ten nis, skating and archery, and of the three probably the greatest Interest will go to the last Archery Is spreading as a sport for women In Europe, and It is expected there will be about 100 con testants for the Olympic prizes. Wo men of the king's household in En? land have taken up the bow and arrow, and it is also more popular in exclusive circles In France than tennis. Thirty Frenchwomen will enter the Olympic shoot Entries have been solicited from America, but so far none has been forthcoming. The women competitors will shoot forty-eight arrows at fifty I "yards and forty-eight arrows at six ty yards for two days in succession, the three finishing in the lead to re ceive gold, silver and bronze med als respectively. Many Englishwomen have organized a national archery as sociation, and It is likely that, follow ing the lead of plngpong and dlabolo, archery will become a pastime of wo men in this country. Orange Omelet. For a simple dessert or luncheon dish the orange omelet provides a way to use fruit which is too dry to cut in the usual state. To an omelet made with four eggs add four tablespoonfnls orange omelet. of orange juke, one teaspoonful of the grated rind and one-fourth cupful of sugar. Cook in the usual way and serve with the orange carpels as a garnish. A Nursery Toy Bag. A strong washable bag is an excel lent addition to the nursery in which to store balls, marbles and such like small odds and ends of the toy cup board. /' Half a yard of good stout gray or blue linen, about a yard wide, will make a good bag. A. draw string/must be placed about fourHncbes from the top, and one of the sides should be left open halfway down to allow the toys in be easily slipped into it. If bung by a draw tape on a nail or Po? Inside the nursery toy cupboard it will be found a useful and welcome addition and one which will help to keep the shelves neat and tidy. Kills His Wife.
