C. The Gaffney Ledger sizes up Ted dy. exactly, according to our notion, when' it says of all the overrated, loud-rnoutfied, 'bVusterihg blather skites this country ever produced he is the limit. ?" ~ ? Willie Hearst's little individually conducted political party progresses backwards. It got less votes in New York than the Socialists party got. Next to Teddy, Wiilie is the biggest humbug of the day. Quite a number of the congress men who fastened the protective, tar iff on the people so as they could be' plundered qy the trusts, were sub merged by the great Democratic tid al wave. Tariff reformers will take their places. . All Insurgent Republicans who want to join the Democracy in giv ing the people a tariff for revenue only will be welcome, but the old standpatters would .have to sit on sthe mourner's bench a long time be Sore they could be trusted. ; Wonder how- many . times Teddy *ised the words crooks, -malefactors/ traitors and jackass as he reflected on the Democratic tidal wave that submerged even his little bailliwick of Oyster Bay last week, while he -was shut up in his home and com muned alone. vln an eastern city not long since a man was Indicted, tried and sen tenced for a long period of years in the short space of two hours. It :s almost needless to say that he was a poor man. If the offender had been a rich man it is not. ilkely such expedition would have been shown. ' The -Charlotte" Observer says . "when a news-paper like The Louis ville Courier-Journal fills its entire front page with roosters, one big rooster for the general result and individual specimens for the Repub lican States captured, it is evident ??that Democrats must be feeling pret ty good. - ' There are people/who constantly ?omplain that they are the creatures of circumstances. But then there are other people who are so master ful and wise that they become the creators of circumstances. The dif ference between the .two, especially ?in tbe way things work out, is equal to that between the poles and the equator. Hearst is what the Chinese call a paper tiger. He made a great bluster of what his little personally conducted political party could do, and even attempted to control the nominations for governor In both the Republican and Democratic New "York State conventions. He was laughed at. of course, and when it came, to show down he had very few votes. Most people lead average lives be cause they are average men and wo men, but there is no reason why the average itself should not be higher. That can be brought about not by ?&nlus but by placing up a high er ideal and then striving earnestly and Intelligently to reach tha' ideal. Even if the goal is' hot quite reach ed the honest effort put forth will have Its refining and s:rDgthening effect. The concentration of wealth into the hands of a few men would b. far more dangerous to *he nation than it is were it not for tlie tendeti oy for wealth to be dissipated in a generation or two. There is a good deal of truth in the old English say ing that It is "Three generations from shirt-sleeves to shirt-sleeves. We have!) ad striking examples of thaT in our Amerilan history, and history will pronably repeat Itself many rimes over. It Is now pointed out that neitb-.tr branch of the Sixty-second Congress will be under the administration ';> control. In the House the Demo vxats have a clear majority of about tjfty over all. In the Senate their increased wote of nine, if combined with the Insurgents would constitute a clear majority of four. The Demo crats are in a position to tost the sincerity of the Insurgent ftepubli x-jtun by giving them a chance to vote- for a real tariff reform bill. Some people with more money and time on their hands than good sense and good taste show remarkable in genuity in doing loolish things tlu: violate the proprieties. One of 1he worst cases was that of the won: an wh,o had three pet dogs tor her bridesmaids at her wedding. If her husband had any feelings they must have been of humiliation. The act Itself was practically a mockery of marriage aud one wonders that any clergyman, if It was a clergyman that officiated, could have been guil ty of sanctioning such a parody by ZxIb presence. GoodDay's Work. John A. Dix, elected governor of ?New York, and Teddy laid up for a term of innocuous desuetude. Judson Harmon re-elected govern or of Ohio, and the Taft political ma chine laid up for repairs. Woodrow Wilson elected governor of New Jersey, and the trust mag nates have-; taken to the woods for ?fear of'.dire (results.- ' Simeon B. Baldwin elected govern or of Connecticut and Republican plunderers praylag. for mercy and promising restitution. Eugene N. Poss elected governor of Massachusetts, and the rotten Lodge ring sent, t? the dump pile. A Democratic House of Represen tatives elected, and only three months more of standpattism, Can nonism and extravagance. The above are some of the political achievements of/the recent election. The citizen wife^s^notpleased is hard to please.* ***** National Thanksgiving. At all times and under all condi tions we have much to be thankful for, but. Thanksgiving Day this year will appeal with additional force to all good citizens and especially Dem ocrats for they all have much to be specially thankful for. Roosevelt's new nationalism the concentration of great wealth, w?ich under the Con stitution is reserved to the people of the several states?is burled with its author under an avalanche of op posing votes! For such a' signal fa vor, supreme thanks should be given. The standpatters have been defeated and a people's Congress, pledged to tariff revision downward, has been given power to carry out the pledge; for this everyone, high or low, rich or poor, should give thanks. Hon est and patriotic Republicans have helped us Democrats to gain a great victory to the end that equal rights to all and special privileges to none may be the law of the land, and for this both will Join in giving thanks. Roosevelt's' New Nationalism. Doctor Schurman, president of Cornell University, says that "he re gards Mr. Roosevelt's new national ism as the most revolutionary and dangerous program any political leader has laid before the American people since the close ol' the civil war." All the presidents of univer sities and colleges seem to feel about the same way. and the people of the state of New York agree with the professors by 60,000 plurality. President Schurman further says: "The new nationalism spells Caesar ism in government and bankruptcy In business; and all that.- without addiug a cent to the income of the wase-earner or any other citizen ex cept the politician and his army of new government officers.". Teddy is yet to be heard'from, and this fight between the Republican literati and the Colonel may ?be'viewed With com posure now that the people have de cided that their salvation, is to rest on the old ; Democratic principle. "Equal rights to all, and special prvileges to none." So far as the i Democrats are concerned they do not care how much Teddy stirs' up the Republican menagerie. . In the late campaign his exhibition of him self proved a valuable asset to the Democrats. So by all means let him keep it up. Tariff Lesson for Farmer?. What has caused the State of Iowa to decrease 7,0S2 In population since 1900? Secretary Wilson haB told us that the tariff is making the farmers prosperous, and yet- thous ands have moved away from this prosperity to seek other and more inv'ting fields. Is It possible that the bleak prairies of Northwestern Canada, where corn will not ripen, offer better prospects for successful farming thau the rich lands of Iowa? The fact is, -Secretary Wilson is mistaken and the farmers know it, else why their intense demand for real tariff revision. The only Iowa farmers that the tariff helps are those who rilse sheep, for they ben efit by the tariff of 12 cents per pound on wool. But there were in 1909 only 747,000 sheep in Iowa, and 'he number is decreasing:; for accord ing to the same authority there were 800,000 sheep of sheering age in 1908. which shows a reduction of; 53,000 in one year. In these came ofPcial statisticts tha price of sheep on the farm appears' to be declining; for in 190S the average price in the United States is quoted at $3.SS per head, while in 1909 the price had declined to $3.43. This does not indicate that the far mers are getting 'heir share of the prosperity which the Republicans as sure us is due to the protective tar iff. Even their s'ieep and wool on which they are Protected do not seem to be adding to their prosper ity: and on nothing else than wool is the Iowa farmer really protected by the tariff. The price of wool hus declined since the- passage of the new tariff law, although the very high protec tion on wool and woolens was not changed. At St.; Louis the. highest price reached in January, 190S, for best tub-washed was 33 cents a pound; while during December of the same year the price fell to 28 cents per pound. There are no later government statistics published, bnt the Daily Record of Quincy, Illinois, November 4, 1910 in its market re t>ort of the price of hides and wool says: "Wool?Although prices are uot advancing iest yet the market is toning up. There is a better de mand and the general feelint; is bet ter." While thi? Iowa farmer has been having good crops and getting good prices for them during the past few years, the cost o; living has advanc ed over 60 per cent with him as with every dweller in the cities, and those who have rented farms have had their rent raised as the price of land increased. These Iowa farmers wno have emigrated probably mostly ten ants?have, evidently not been very I prosperous,. or they, would not leave their homes and^their neighbors and their friends to*- go to new countries (and begin "all over again with all the ?hardships of frontier life. No won der that in Iowa and in all the West ern states where similar conditions prevail there has been a general de mand for tariff revision downward; for it is very evident that protec-: tlon does not protect the farmer, but plunders him.

In answer to a young -housekeeper here are some practical directions fox malring yeast bread says the New Haven Register. First, let me warn you that good bread cannot be mads without good flour. The pure food commission has lately recognized thai ;'some ,white,flour so commpuly used is ? So lacking in nutriment- that they, have forbidden any. more to be turned out of the mills.'Be .careful ihal you dc not buy auy, of the old. s tock. ? Then, too Ifr.you are just learning to keep house, you may-not know that there is a bread flour and a some what more starchy and les^ glutinous pastry flour. You may d stiuguish it both by its slight yellowish appear ance, and by is granular, rather than powdery feel. - Thcu, too, it does not '.-ake when squeezed In the haud,.a6 does the pastry flour. Many excellent compressed yeasts can now be had, and it is perhaps not worth while for a awoman who can get fresh to make her own. You will require one pint of '?scald? d milk, one teas-pnoiiful of sug;i,r. one tea spoonful of .salt, one-third cake <?t compi-p.^ed yeast, and, of course, enough ;'Jour lo make a stiff rio.:gh. He sure to mvaswre the nil 1U after it 'Ai&s been scalded. Put the sugar salt and scalded milk Into a large mixing bowl or bread pan, stir nnti-' the sugar is dissolved;: and the milk lukewarm; then add the yea3t, which has previously be.n softened in a little water. Flu-illy, stir in the hour until you have a dou^b stiff enough to mold easily. Now mold it for a minute or two to give it sh;:pe, as well as to more ; thoroughly mix- the ingredients, and j then set it to rise in a n pni of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover it eh s.:ly with an old tablecloth,-, that the -top may not dry out, and leive it in peace for eight hours. Most people like to put their bread to rise over night, I mixing it lute in the evening and bak j ing it the first thing in the morning. Or one can mix in the morning and bake it just before dinner. If it has not risen, sufficiently in the allotted time it Is a sign that, the room was not warm enough during 'some portion of the time of rising. On the other hand, too warm a room or too long a period of rising will sour the dough. The proper amount of rise ia just /double the original bulk. Before baking bread knead the dough lor five minutes on a bread board, to distribute the large bubbks j.nd so make the bread finer grained. Mixing knives are now more generally used than one's fists for this operation. Lastly, shape it into a loaf by doub ling the edges under again and again until you have a smooth oblong mound, place it in an oiled baking pan, let it rise quickly in a warm place until it again doubles itself, and b?ke in an oven which is hot at'first but which gradually decreases In tem perature, for an-hour and a quarter. I think that if you are going to malte a practice of baking your own bread and pastry you will lind an aven thermometer a worth-while in vestment. In thut case, see that your oven is at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for the first 15 minutes, gradually de creasing this to not lower than 250 degrees Fahrenheit. The recipe I have given is for one very large loaf. It is easy enough to double or .treble it if you . want to. bake more at one time. The kneading should he done very gently. If you knead it too hard, the bread will be heavy. Housekcep'ng by Machinery. In Chicago there is a family whose bread winner earns |1S a week. He is employed by one of the great electrical compnnies of the city. His wife, of course, is her own cook, maid and laundress. On Monday the family wash, which has been soaking in soapy water all night, is put Into a tub. She turns a switch; then cuddling baby.in her lap she opens the morning paper and rocks and reads while the electric motor is swishing the soiled clothes back nnd forth in the washing ma- j chine. The flm .step of the launder ing process finished she rinses the automatically cleansed clothes in clear water, turns another switch and feeds the moist cloth through tne rubber lolls of the wringer, which is operated by iht same motor that ran the wasti ng machine. After the clo-thes are iried she irous them with ekctriiml (iatirons, and what was once a baek onaking, health-destroying form of drudgery has become almost a posi rj've pleasure. The kitchen of this home has in It a gu.- stove, bur it ;,-lso has an electrical Cabinet on which a goudiy part oi the hieuis are cooked. The cabinet is homemade, of dark Wtaineu wood, and un Us broad shelf are several electrical "stoves." plates of iron in which are resistance toils that warm up to a cooking heat when the current it turn ed ?ai. The elect.ical oven stands on the tlcxir when not in use, for it lakes but an Instant to screw I he plug at the business end of its wire inio the socket and be ready tu roast the Sun day leg of mutton.
