J Wall Street mildly fears Taft as a good lawyer ^and an honeBt mau whose habit of mind and natural predilection iean toward the keep ing of his oath of office and 'the technical enforcement of law. It distinctly dreads the Democrats who mean what they say and can bo relied on to go forward aggressive ly in the work of subduing lawless combinations of capital,, equalizing the taxes, State and Federal, lower ing the tarirt to a revenue basis and reducing, as far as legislation Can, the cost of living. In Theodore Roosevelt, however, Wall Street, and by Wall Street we mean the whole Fabric of High Fi* nance, sees a man whose very ble miBhes and imperfections it can look to and loan upon. A born pa trician, he is a law unto himself. An autocrat by nature, he keeps no promise* he may regard as inconven ient. A spoil child of luxury, his whole life -has been passed making self - glorifying and self - right eous speeches from the front balco ny and then going into the back of fice and demanding of the bosses and the magnates the tangible ob ject of his desire, whatever It has happened to be. Wall Street, true to the property Instinct of all countries and all ageti beholds in Theodore Roosevelt back at Washington, a man who will no more or longer look to the fickle mob, but to the steadfast Money power. Once again possessor of the . cnginrles of gvernoment, his purpose to perpetuate himself in office ? to Mexicanize the Republic and Dlazify the Presidency ? will de rive Its sustenance from the tre mendous accretions of predatory wealth and the organized and or ganizing resources of the great cen ters of population. As cominander in chief of the army and navy, he would be required to keep order, and the would-be absolutist wants only such a pretext, not to mention the means of promoting and precip itating foreign to suit his re quirement, in order to make him self master. ' . ? ? Every page of the world's histo ry attests this, and Ignorant as it may be in most things, Wall Street Is not wholly unread in those pass ages of history which relate how overweening ambition, given the reins of power, has always made for the advantage of the few at the cost of many. ? Louisville ?ourier Journal. Marriage a Failure? The statisticians Inform us that there is an Increasing tendency to ward divorce, but the very worst di vorce tables show that 12 couples out of every 100 get divorced within 20 years of the marriage day. But only -look at this statement from another ? angle. There are 88 couples who do not get divorced. And so, la marriags a failure? Hardly! Divorced by Candle. If the marriage yoke rests uncom fortably upon a Burmese couple, a di vorce may bo quickly and Inexpensive ly obtained, with a bit of excitement thrown in gratis. Husband and wife agreeing that life apart would present greater charms, the wife goes out and purchases two small candles, made es pecially for such occasions. These can dles are exactly the same slse, but each has some distinguishing mark, one being Intended to represent the man, the other the woman. At exact ly the same moment . the candles are lighted, and the unhappy couple anx Ibusly watches them burn. When one candle goes out the divorce la com plete, but with one condition-? the owner of the c&ndle which has* gone out must at once leave the house with nothing but the clothes worn at the moment. Tffe. other part? remains In possession of the house and all therein. [ins ?,"? . / . - aj. i W . . -r~ v ? . ? . . . How She Shopped "1 wasn't responsible," Halrd said. ! "1 always had known better than to 1 venture Into a department store with ! a woman bent on shopping, but, yon ! see, I was on my wedding trip. 8u when Anne suggested going shopping I smiled fatuously and consented. ' "Anne ma<,le for the elevators and ] led m<' to the topmost floor. Heing totally ignorant of the correct method of storming a women's store, I took it ! for granted that starling in at the top ! was the rule, and that you got docked ? If you didn't begin that way. 1 be- m lleve it was the floor where you get (Itted and ultered when you buy reudy tn&des. I bashfully sluuk along bo hind Anno aa aho strolled down ma hogany forridors through the doora of which came wails and complaints and ptorum from women in tho process of being altered and fitted. "Just as 1 opened ray mouth to ask Anne what she had bought to be fixed and when she had bought It,- she turn ed on mo blandly and said she was ready to go down to the next floor. . "There was a furniture display there and I think she priced every piece of It. In liulf an hour, my head was u mixture of Flemish bookcases, raa, hogany dining room sets, rococo screens and tea wagons. "Much us I loved Anno, I began to feel pale. I figured out that my whole annual income would Just about pay for what tho dear girl apparently had In mind. "When she began talking with the attentive salesman ubout an $800 carved chest I drew hor atddo. 'My dear,' said I In quavering ton.es, 'real ly, you know, wo can't afford an eight hun- ' "'Silly!' she said. 'As if I didnt know that! Why, I'm not going to buy any furniture^? I'm just looking! ' And she sailed out of there under the outraged eyes of tho salesman with out turning a hair. ' "How women do It I can't (lguro out 1 ? they undoubtedly possess a sort of courage, that men lack. "Wfren I got my breath I found we were on tho china and glass and pic ture floor We priced about $100,000 worth of stuff there ? at least Anno did,.* The salesman was so impressed by her air that hb did his best to sell her a dozen plates, very cheap at $1, 600: . I assure you that 1 got cold chills, bo realistic was her assumption that possibly if tho plates pleased her she might condescend to havo them nent to our address. "And she was absolutely Impervious to my agonized glances. "She considered Beta In rock crystal and she turned up her nose at $100 coffee cups. At last she led me down to the floor beneath. It was full of hats ? women's hats. Anne almost purred. What on earth ' she wanted there I couldn't imagine, because I distinctly remembered hearing her say that her trousseau Included ten hats. "She didn't give me a chanoe to point out to her that she could wear only one hat at a time, because sho promptly had the head milliner and two earnest saleswomen surrounding her. "That girl tried on thirty-three hats by actual count and, nB cach one was more expensive than Its predecessor, you can imagine the state of mind I was In. I never knew there were 90 many different kinds of birds and feathers and things in the whole world until that day. . I saw myself proceeding through the rest of our trip lugging bandboxes and just as I was working up an extremely bitter frame of mind Anno smiled sweetly at me and said she believed she was ready to go. "We left thO saleswomen reviving each other and proceeded to the silks and velvets. It was perfectly wonder ful,, how much Anne knew about quali ties and wearing abilities. ? Sho routed six salesmen before she descended to the linens and lingeries. I won't at tempt to relate our visit to that floor, but some time I want to tell you about a $500 tablecloth and napkins to match. "The rest la a sort of mist. I know that at last we found ourselves in the basement among the kitchen furnish ings. There Anne pimply had a glor ious time pricing things. Up to now she had bought absolutely nothing, so I woke up with a start when she ran out from a. dark, underground corner with a teakettle in her hand. " 'Isn't this a dear?' she asked. 'And only 60 cents ? think of it! . How love ly it will look In the fireplace!' So she bought it "That Isn't all. When we unpacked It at home she deliberately marked a 12 In front o^ the .50. Then the first time her cousin, who is one of those women who pride * themselves on knowing the value of every article on earth, saw it she threw up her hands. " 'My dear!' she cried. 'Did you get that kettle for only twelve dolalrs and a half? Why, you got a perfectly tremendous bargain. It is worth dou ble? -you can't fool me on antiqujes! Where did you get it?'
