BUYAN. Democratic Nominee For the Presidency. Hm HE president's power for good or for harm is often overestimated. Our government is A GOVERN MENT OF CHECK AND BALANCES. Power is distributed among different departments, and each official works in co-operation with others. In the making of laws, for instance, tho president joins with the- senate and the house. lie may recommend, but ho is powerless to legislate except as a majority of tho senate and the house concur with Mm. Tho senate and the house aro also independent of each other, each having a veto over tho other, and tho president has a veto over both, except that tho senato and houso can, by a two-thirds vote, over rides the president's veto. THE INFLUENCE OF THE PRESIDENT OVER LEGISLATION IS, THEREFORE, LIMITED. HE SHARES RESPONSIBILITY WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE'S REPRESENTATIVES. THE MOST IMPORTANT REQUISITE IN A PRESIDENT AS IN OTHER OFFICIALS IS THAT HIS SYMPATHY SHALL BE WITH THE WHOLE PEOPLE RATHER THAN WITH ANY FRACTION OF THE POPULATION. HE IS CONSTANTLY CALLED UPON TO ACT IN THE CAPACITY OF A JUDGE, DECIDING BETWEEN THE IM PORTUNITIES OF THOSE WHO SEEK FAVORS AND THE RIGHTS AND INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC. UNLESS HIS SYMPATHIES ARE RIGHT THE FEW ARE SURE TO HAVE AN ADVANTAGE OVER THE MANY, FOR THE MASSES HAVE NO ONE TO PRESENT THEIR CLAIMS. THEY ACT ONLY AT ELECTION AND MUST TRUST TO THEIR REPRESENTATIVES TO PROTECT THEM FROM ALL THEIR FOES. The president MUST POSSESS THE MOEAL COURAGE TO STAND AGAINST THE INFLUENCES THAT ARE BROUGHT TO BEAR IN FAVOR OF SPECIAL INTERESTS. In fact, tho quality of moral courage is as essential in a public official as either right sympathies or a trained mind. A president must have counselors, and, to make wise use of coun selors, ho must be open to convictions. The president is committed bv Ids platform to certain policies, and the platform is binding. Ho is also committed to certain principles of government, and these he is in duty bound to apply in all matters that come before him. But there is a wide zono in which ho must act upon his own judgment, and here he ought to have- tho aid of intelligent, conscientious and faithful advisers. Tho law provides these, to a certain extent, in giving him a cabinet. THE VICE PRESIDENT OUGHT TO BE MADE A MEMBER OF THE CABINET EX OFFICIO IN ORDER FIRST, THAT THE PRESI DENT MAY HAVE THE BENEFIT OF HIS WISDOM AND KNOWL EDGE OF AFFAIRS, AND, SECOND, THAT THE VICE PRESIDENT MAY BE BETTER PREPARED TO TAKE UP THE WORK OF THE PRESIDENT IN CASE OF A VACANCY IN THE PRESIDENTIAL OF FICE. THERE OUGHT TO DE CORDIAL RELATIONS ALSO BE TWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND THOSE WHO OCCUPY POSITIONS OF INFLUENCE IN THE CO-ORDINATE BRANCHES OF THE GOV ERNMENT, FOR OUR GOVERNMENT IS NOT A ONE MAN GOV ERNMENT, BUT A GOVERNMENT IN WHICH THE CHOSEN REP RESENTATIVES OF THE PEOPLE LABOR TOGETHER TO GIVE EX PRESSION TO THE WILL OF THE VOTERS. But tho presidency is tho highest position in tho world, and its occupant is an important factor in all national matters. If he is a devout believer in our theory of government, recognizes tho constitu tional distribution of powers, trusts thoroughly in tho people and fully sympathizes with thom in their aspirations and hopes, ho has an opportunity to do a splendid work. Ho occupies a vantage ground from which ho can exert a wholesome influenco in favor of each for ward movement. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE OFFICE ARE SO GREAT THAT THE OCCUPANT OUGHT TO BE RELIEVED OF EVERY PERSONAL AMBITION, SAVE THE AMBITION TO PROVE WORTHY OF THE CONFIDENCE OF HIS COUNTRYMEN. FOR THIS REASON HE OUGHT TO ENTER THE POSITION WITHOUT THOUGHT OR PROS PECT OF A SECOND TERM. War Is the Great Crime of Crimes By ANDREW CARNEGIE. CHE great strides which have been mado sinco our soldier statesman, Gonoral Grant, passed away by tho doctrino of PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT of international disputes by arbitration aro FULL OF PROMISE FOR THE EARLY "ABOLITION OF WAR, Arbitration treaties between us and seven or eight leading powors aro now almost ready. Ono has passed the sonata unanimously and is now law. Another is ready for submission. Others aro promptly to follow. Wo may congratulato ourselves that it is UPON OUR OWN CONTINENT peaceful settlement has won its greatest triumphs, but wo must nover fail in season and out of season to keep before the people tho truth that, compared with men killing men, there is no evil, o savagery, to bo compared.

Through the Ingenuity of n New York man shopkeepers and dressmak ers will be able to get along hereafter with one kind of dress form. Long walfts and short waists look allki on this body portion, which can be adjusted to fit anything the human form can wear. The form Is made similar to those now In use. except that the model can bo moved up and down on the upright rod that rum through the center and atllxed at anj CAM IIK CHANGED AT WILL. height over the hip Hue that may be desired. In the old style form n short walsted waist did not fit on a long walsted model, and vice versa, and both for window display and dress making a number of different forms were required, each for a different type of flgure. Either for Httlng or display this Invention Is expected to be of value both In the saving of money and time, for not only will one take the place of several of the old designs, but It will not be necessary to scour about for the suitable form for each occasion. IN THE KITCHEN. Sunshine Cake. For sunshine cake sift the flour and sugar the same n for angel cake, only lessening the Hour to three-fourths of n cup. Add a plucli of salt to the whites of seven egg and beat until stiff and dry. Beat the yolks of five eggs until lemon colore.! and thick, add tho ugur and flour to the yolks, stir in lightly the white ol the eggs and half a teaspoonful of cream of tartar, flavor with orange ex tract and bake the same as angel cake Frost with yellow Icing, flavored with orange, and decorate with bits of can dled orange peel and leaves cat from angelica. Lemon Ginger Beer. This beverage should be made a couple of days bo fore using. Pour two gallons cold wa ter over a half dozen lemons sliced thin, add a pound and a half sugar and a scant ounce ginger root Lot this come to a boll, then add a table spoonful cream of tartar. Strain and sot in a cool place. When nearly cold add a yeast enke dissolved In a little lukewarm water, stir thoroughly, then set lu o cold place overnight In the morning mix well and bottle, corking air tight, and lay the bottles on their sides in a cool ploce. A small bottle of Jamaica ginger extract may bo used In place of the whole ginger If pre ferred. Lemonade. For every quart of lem onade desired allow three lemons. Scrub the lemons thoroughly, as their rough skins hold many particles of dust and grime. Clip off the thin outer skins of part of the lemons and steep for a few minutes In a little water. Cut two thin slices from the center of each of the remaining lemons and lay ono side. Press the Juice from the lemons, using a corrugated glass or a lemou squeezer. Add enough sugar to the juice to make as sweet as desired, then pour on the proper amount of boiling water, together with the strained water from the chipped yel low peel. Let stand until cold and If not ready to use put In the icebox until needed. Serve a couple of slices of lemon in each glass and a little chipped ice if you arc assured of its purity. A Plea For Less Snobbishness. One wishes there were less snobbish ness In tho American woman, less shrinking from people on whom she bestows the epithet "common," less pride In figuring by name in the dally papers. It cannot be denied, though it Is atmospheric rather than tangible, this condescension of tho well bred to those who have not the requisite hall mark of culture. When shall tho day dawn when a person with a witch harel wand of perfect courtesy shall accept people for what they are, not caring whether tboy live on tho north, the west or the south side of a town, whether their husbands are profession al men or clerks behind a counter, whether their social training has been gained nmong people who wear the blue ribbon of cxclusiveness or down among tho ranks? asks a writer In the Woman's Home Companion. Snobbish ness in this 'country is an anachronism. Women ought to bo ashamed of it all the more that It Is a sign of American weakness, largely feminine and seldom practiced by men. Tho ancestry of so manyoonsplcuous social lenders three or four generations ago belonged prob ably to the iblnest of plain people, who .handled tho broom and the hoe and little d roamed of tho foundations it was laying for the future aristoc racy. If one'ls candid with hereelf nnd discerns anywhere in her soul an Igno blo tendency to bclmr a snob, be inhos pitable to thnt.'aud try to trample It under foot and get back, If not to plain living, at least to hrgh thinking.
