DEMOCRACY AND REPEAL. .
SECRETARY BRYAN and senator Gore have made a
substantial contribution, if not altogether a nove
one, to the settlement of the question of the repeal
of the special privilege accorded to the coastwise
'shipping monoply in the use of the Panama canal, says
the New York Times. Mr. Bryan in a careful and really
brilliant review of the matter in the Commoner has shown
what should logically and honorably be the -view of loyal
Democrats. Mr. Gore by a poll of 418 members of the
Democratic National convention of 1912 has shown how
the great body of Democrats do think on the question.
Mr. Bryan's review is from the party standpoint,
though it is by no means wholly partisan. t He speaks with
the authoroity-otlong experience, and of intimate ac
quaintance with the actual methods and customs of party
conventions. He points out how little actual considera
tion the resolution relating to the exemption had or could
have in the convention and how surely it would have been
rejected had the convention understood, first, that it was
in flat contradiction to the position assumed in the same
platform as to subsidies, and; second, that the privilege
had been granted by a Republican majority with only a
minority of Democrats supporting it.
But even if the convention had surrendered the Demo
cratic position as to subsidies, direct or indirect, and had
committed itself to the favor asked by the shipping
monopoly the conditions are now so changed that" the
president would be quite justified in urging repeal. The
question has become an international one, involving the
maintenance of the national reputation for good faith.
"No nation," says Mr. Bryan, "can afford to purchase a
small advantage in the face of a universal protest. If a
nation desires to array itself against the world, it should
be sure that the thing which it is to gain is worth what
it costs." '
Even more striking than the able argument of the
secretary of state are the cold figures of Senator Gore's
poll of the members of the convention. He began his in
quiry only a few ago. He has received answers from 418
of the members of the convention. Of these only 11 are
non-committal, 69 are opposed to repeal, and IMS sustain
the course of the president. Of the number who have an
opinion five-sixths are in favor of repeal. Undoubtedly
all these voted for the adoption of the platform, with the
miserable little "joker" in it, but they unquestionably had
no notion of what they were doing in that regard. They
have not changed their opinions; they simply did not
form any opinion at the time of the convention, and, prac
tically, had no means of doing so. It is probable to the
verge of certainty that these gentlemen fairly represent
the feeling in the rank and file of the Democratic party
. ii mi i it v .1
at me present time, ine longer me matter is uiscusseu
the surer is public opinion, not merely among the Demo
crats, but among self-respecting and well-informed men
of all parties, to sustain the manly, candid, and intelligent
policy of the president. We think that we can a&ait with
confidence the outcome of the contest which the subsidy
hunters are waging against him.
The German supreme court has undertaken to define
a kiss and point out the line at which it ceases to be a kiss
and becomes assault and battery. This is evidence of the
German prospensity to be exact. An American would not
stop to describe a kiss, but, just taking it as it is, try and
get along without a chemical analysis of the airy nothing,
the sweet flavor of the intangible, the substance of things
hoped for but never seen, the ne plus ultra, sine qui non,
et tu Brute, sic transit gloria mundi. and besides it can't
be described anyway. It ?s too fleeting in character and
too profound in results for anyone this side of the pond
other than U'Ren to tackle and attempt to clothe in stat
utory phrases.
General Cavranza might have used fewer words in tell

EVELYN CAPTURED THE PRURIENT."
ACCORDING to Leone Cas&Baer in the Oregonian the
Thaw woman is a dancer that would- have made
Herod's daughter look like the modern 30 cents, for
while the former leg artist only managed to get the
head of one person, although her "speed", was proven as
the-old joke puts it by the fact that "she got a head .of
John the Baptist on a charger." 'Her notoriousness, Mrs.
Thaw,- danced the heads oft the entire audience of Port
land's most inordinately pruritent, and literally turned the
head of that charming dramatic critic, Leon Cass Baer,
who-exhibits her surcharged mental condition thus:
. '.'Portland's best and most confirmed abstainers gal
loped to the Helig in two relays, a matinee and a night
crowd, out of pureor more or ; less pure, unadulterated
curiosity to have a good, square, first-hand look -at the
"most talked of woman in the world," . With' the price of
beef and ice soaring, the rabble fought and all but gouged
its neighbor to crowd in and get well settled before Evelyn
Thaw came on the stage. " 1 ;
' A fever of unrest, in fact two fevers of unrest, one for
each performance, possessed the audiences. 1
They had come to see Evelyn ;Thawr and they didn't
give a picayune whether she did a juggling act or "correct
imitations" of Anna Held . and George M. - Cohan, or
whether she -merely came in and recited "Twinkle,
Twinkle Little fitar." . ;i
. This is the way the Thaw dance struck her:
"Mrs. Thaw's exquisite delicacy of body, a sort of
early-dawn loveliness, cries, nay shrieks, a lie to the ath
letic, strenuous high noon of her dancing. Neither bears
the other out with consistency. -Mrs. Thaw's dance is an
acrobatic, calistenic, whirling, swirling, jnad Dervish,
throwing carelessly about, of emotions, legs, arms, smiles
and hair."
The kaleidoscopic Evelyn" evidently did not gr e her
audiences in the valley what was coming to them, not if
her dances in Portland are properly described. At. Cor
vallis she naively told a news gatherer that $2 was too
much for a bucolic place like Corvallis that had little
money to spend, to pay for real talent, and the movies
was about the right size for the country yahoos in the val
ley towns. The fact that the yahoos expect to patronize
real talent and are not prone to give up their coin through
prurient curiosity as city folks do accounts for the small
ness of her audiences in 'country towns."
And now some of the editors who have been trying to
rush the administration into a war . with Mexico are
alarmed lest Japan take a hand'against us. - Well, while
we are at the war. game why not invite the! Japs and every
body else who has a grievance -against thk United States
to. get intp the ring.. It wouldn't be a bad idea to clean
them all up at once and have ib.over. with V. ;
When General Coxey issued his order-to his army to
"cut out the booze" he discovered he had no army to give
orders to. They gave him to understand , that they were
in Coxey's army and were not under the orders of Secre
tary Daniels. They could get on the water wagon without
joining the navy, providing, of course, they wanted on
that kind of a vehicle. , .,
Of course., we all hope that the arbitration scheme with
Mexico will succeed, but we have our doubts. Troubles
come so quick and fast down in the land of the Aztecs
that the board of arbitration will have to be kept on the
job permanently, working overtime, with a big'squadron
of warships and an army corps to enforce its decrees.
It may come to a point where HueKta will have to imi
tate Secretary Daniels and order his officers to let liquor
alone in order to maintain his own supply. A cosmopol
itan style of man of conglomerate ancestiy and drunk on
straight whiskey is a bad mixture. .
If all the warlike editors enlist for service in Mexico
that call for 250,000 volunteers will have to be doubled up.
Barely Possible to Cross

IT is a bare possibility that a one man machine without a flout and
favored by a wind of, aay, fifteen miles an hour .might succeed in
petting across the Atlantic, but such an attempt would be the
height of folly. When ono comes to increase the size of the craft the
possibility rapidly lades away. 1
THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTIES OF CARRYING SUFFI
CIENT FUEL. ON THE BASIS OF THE FIGURES WHICH I HAVE WORK
ED OUT I FIND THAT NO LESS THAN FIFTY-THREE PER CENT-OF
THE ENTIRE LOAD, INCLUDING THE WEIGHT OF THE MACHINE IT
SELF AND ALL, WOULD HAVE TO BE FUEL. IN OTHER WORDS, IF
THE AEROPLANE, LOADED AND
THOUSAND POUNDS WITH AVIATOR AND ALL ABOARD, OF THAT TO
TAL FIVE HUNDRED AND THJRTY POUNDS MUST BE GASOLINE.
AND THESE FIGURES ARE BASED ON THE MOST EFFICIENT PER

In the Garden
Come into the garden, Maud, from
your divan soft and snug; for the
springtime is abroad, and the garden
must be dug. Come into the garden,
do, ana you'll know what labor means;
wel ll toil the long summer through
and harvest a pint
or beans. Ine win
tor's an also ran,
spring's here, with
its wrens and
and doves; so come
with your sprinkl
ing can, and come
with your leather
gloves. The jnll of
the soil is heard,
the call .thnt old
Adam knew, and,
though it 's a thing
absurd, we '11 toil as
our neighbors do;
our labor is all in
vain, we know, ero
we do a stroke, all useless the stress
and strain, and the garden is a joke.
For cutworms will take the corn, and
ehinchbugs destroy the peas as sure
as that we were born to fool with
such tasks as these. The hail will de
stroy the beets, and also the succotash,
and when we desire green eats, we'll
buy tnem and pay cash. Hut come to
the garden, Maud, Tegardless of things
like these, get elose to the fertile sod,
aad crawl on your bands and knees.
Come forth to this verdant scene, awny
from your Persian regs; Oh, come with
your Paris green, to kill the potato
bugs.

COAT HANGERS.
,A coat hanger mny be padded and
covered with cretonne or chintz In
stead of- silk or ribbon. It makes a
strong, substautlnl cover, nnd if tlia
i'hluta is of a- good design the hanger
will be very quaint nnd pretty. , This
would . be an excellent way to utlliia
your suiall pieces of mnterlul.
Wrap tbe book with narrow ribbon,
matching some shade In tbe chintz. A.
little different arrangement can be ob
tained by ' twisting in tbe usual way
and Winding the "ribbon around tbo
hanger at tbe base of the hook, tbera
fastening it securely With needle nnd
thread.
A rosette of ribbon can be added to
tbe side of the hook If desired. Scent
tbe padding before covering or' make
sachet bags and attach to tbe 'base of
tbe book with long, narrow ribbons so
that they will bang inside tbe garment
or coat.
Tbe latter plan of using the sachet
Is best, as tbe scent can easily be re
newed from time to time.
