czar has long Anee been given, and
it has been repeated with the fre-
quency and insistence that two woman
invite each other to “come and see

The czar seems to realise that the in-
vitation to revolution has been out a
long timand his chief dismay at, the
present timelis over the promise that
the invitation is about to be aceepted,
and most cordially accepted at that.
Therein he evinces a wisdom beyond
that of the newspaper prognosticators.
The best proof of this is that the
czar is preparing to run. It is the
characteristic of the cruel coward that
he has an abhorrence for personal
suffering when it comes to his own
anatomy, and nothing will put him
on the run quicker than to impress
him with the fear of personal vio-
lence. In the face of the growing
cloud of revolution which is sweeping
over Russia at the present time, the
czar knows that small compassion
would be shown to him were he to
stay and try to face the storm, and
he is devoid of the moral and physical
courage to die in the attempt to up-
hold the monarchy which has at-

The mayor-president and each of the

All the officers of the city government

These are mentioned because they

Galveaton ranks first in the exporta-
tion of cattle, hogs and livestock to
the amount of 102,835 head as shipped
that year. Other articles are too nu-
merous to mention. Lumber, for ex-
ample. amounted to 12,351,081.
Galveaton today is a city of wharves,
•levators, railroad terminals and steam-
ships. There are nine railroads coming
directly into the city and one across
the buy whose terminal is the city.
There are fifty-nine steamship lines,
only two of which may be considered
coast lines, the others all crossing the
ocean.
With these results—these connections
of steam and steel, of rail and water
lines—it is not surprising to see how
Galveston has come to the front both
as to exports and imports.
From very accurate observations and
reliable figures the secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce states officially
that these facilities have reduced the
freight rate on the shipping through
Galveston—or those shipping through
Galveston in the last ten years bave
received the benefit of $36,594, 063.39.
All this may be set down as the re-
sult of the will—the pluck of these en-
terprising people fully illustrated and
confirmed by the poet—
"There ia no chance, no destiny, no
fate,
That can circumvent, or hinder, or

The firm resolve of a determined

An Unmitisated Blessing.
Milwaukee Sentinel: The peek-a-boo
waist is an unmitigated blessing. It
affords comfort to the gentle wearer,
both physical and mental. It brings
unadulterated joy to the heart of
mere man, who gazes at the half re-
vealed charms of neck and shoulders
and realises how beautiful the world
is, after all. It adds to the wealth of
the purveyor, who charges nine prices
for these filmy garments, as any
family man will testify, and it doesn't
hurt anybody.
tise of a nomination.
Whenever conditions justify the
putting forward of Senator Bailey, the
Texas newspapers will not be indif-
ferent to the matter. It is expected
that the time will come in the near
future when his nomination will be
demanded by the people. He is yet a
young man, still under 43. He will
be more available in all respects ten
years hence. He has nothing to ex-
plain to the people of Texas. In no
respect does he lack their confidence.
They probably know more about his
private business than of the private
affairs of any public man of the state.
They know him intimately, whereas
the Atlanta News seems to know only
the slanders which cowardly enemies
have circulated against him.

ARMY PROMOTIONS.
The old criticism of the plan of pro-
motions by seniority in the army has
broken out again and Secretary Taft
is the godfather of the latest scheme,
which has for ita purpose the elimi-
. nation of the dead timber which an-
cumbers the army and has encum-
bered it from time immemorial. The
secretary of war is quoted as having
discovered that the average age at
which an officer in the United States
army reaches the rank of first lieu-
tenant la 30 years, captain 33, major
S3, lieutenant colonel 58 and colonel
at about 50 years, while they are com-
pelled by law to retire at the age of
64, when a soldier is presumed to
have lost that virility which fits him
for command.
Secretary Taft would get around
this by a system of enforced retire-
ment which would reduce the age of
officers serving in given rank and
turn the command of the army over
to younger men.
While the secretary has discovered
a long known and often exploited
fact, he does not appear to have be-
come cognisant that his plan is a
- . chimerical and idle dream. His con-
nection with the-war department ap-
pears to have been too brief for him
to have learned that tbe army is
maintained for the special and pri-
vate benefit of those who sre commis-
sioned to officer it. Ask sny officer
to express his dearest wish and the
natural answer will be “promotion.”
To expect any other reply would be
to endow the army officer with a halo
of saintly sacririce of seir which is
not prescribed in the regulations and
which would be out of place as an
adjunct of the regular uniform. Nor
will the army ever consent to any
scheme of promotion by selection.
The view of the great majority of of-
ficers. and the weight of their innu-
ence may always be counted in sup-
port of it. is that a bird in the hand
to worth two in the bush. Under the
present plan promotion may be slow,
but compensation, at least to the in-
dividual, may be found in the fact
that it is sure. That the service may
suffer through carrying on the rooter
of the army men notoriously unfitted
to exercise command does not enter
into the calculations at all. The av-i
erage American officer compares
very favorably with the average of-
ficer in other services, and the effi-
cient is apparently willing to carry
the inefficient trail in behind the
obsolete and the unfitted, rather than
run the much-dreaded risk of being •
overlooked when selections are made
for promotion. These views are as
fixed and Immutable as the traditions
of the service, and the war secretary
may aa well save himself the trouble
which would be entailed by an effort
to either upset dr combat them. Until
halos are prescribed and worn as part
ef the uniform, there will be no agree-
ment in the army upon any such chi-
merical nonsense as reform in the di-
rec tion indicated by the secretary, and
he might as well be wise in time.

Elmira Advertiser: Women say that
these waists are cool and comfortable
in warm weather and they generally
naively add that they are very be-

responsible fully as much as any other
for their common use. What does a
man care whether the peek-a-boo is
abolished? When one cannot con-
alder himself dressed in the evening
unless he wear the regulation evening
drees, with stiff shirt and torturing
collar for warm weather, it is natural
for misery to love company. The

women must not have such liberties.

BAILEY AND THE PRESIDENCY.
Houston Post.
The Charleston News ad Courier
refers to the presidential proportions
of Senator Bailey and remarks that
"the Texas newspapers seem strangely
unoonscious of the prominence that
their senator has gained in the mind
of the nation.” And this leads the
Atlanta News to indulge the following
nonsense:
Senator Bailey is undoubtedly
a strong character and a foremost
figure in the senate, and the
Texas newspapers are not at all
oblivious concerning him. The
fact that he is In the senate from
that state and that no successor
to him is being exploited in ad-
vance shows that he is not with-
out the esteem of his constituency.
What appears to be the “strange
unconsciousness" of the Texas
newspapers to Senator Bailey’s
prominence in the public mind of
the nation is that he has not yet
satisfactorily explained to the
Texas mind certain employments
he has had, since he became a
senator, in the causes of some of
the trusts and how he earned
enormous fees, in one case as
much as 8250,00g. defending the
interests of combinations that the
Texas people think on as monopo-
lies acting in restraint of fair
trade. • C
It is not our purpose to Impugn,
or cast suspicion upon, the per-
sonal right of Senator Bailey to
pursue his legal opportunities
when they do not cross wires with
his public duties. Doubtless he
has a ready and effective answer
to the criticisms already made
with resnect to his relations with
the trusts and his sudden increase
of personal possessions. And,
doubtless, he will exonerate him-
•elf from all blame in those mat-
ters. But the fact remains that
so long as he allow* the facts to
go unexplained the Texas news-
papers are not likely to get up
on tall towers and shout his presi-
dential claims abroad to all the
nation. •__
Senator Bailey we regard asa

of constitutional expounders in

The passports issued by the United
States are now signed by Secretary
Root as of the year "of the independ-
ence of the United Statee the one hun-
dreth and thirtieth.” Politically, 135
years old; In setttlement, somewhat
older. Next year it will be 305 years
since Jamestown, Va., ws founded,
and we are now preparing to celebrate
that beginning; it was thirteen year*
later before the Mayflower got over.
Supose that we reckoned from Indian
days, and any that thia country is 305
years old. But what are 300 years
in the life of a nation? About like
thirteen years in the life of a man—

John Milton was born in 1 0S. the
year after Jamestown was settled, and
in hie opinion England wag overripe
in some particulars at that time.
Shakespeare died in 1v16, seven years
after a beginning was made at James-
town, and four years before the May-
flower landed its cargo of Pilgrims:
but Shakespeare was the unrivaled
product of England and not a founder.
William of Normandy came over to
England 550 years before Shakespeare
died; and the peerless writer gave up
the ghost under James I, who was the
first of the seventh dynasty of English
kings. Or take Leipzjg as a type of
Germany. Last year Leipzig got into
a new city hall because the old one
was old. But it still stands, and la
are the moat chareteristic things about
the personality of M. Louie Lepine, the
prefect of the Paris police and the pro-
tector of Paria.
The evildoers of Paris fear him, but
they like him. It was amusing to
watch the crowd on the Place de la
Republique on May day, when the usk
was closing tn, and a numbef of Belle-
ville "Apaches" swelled the mob. The
mob was pushing up against the police
lines, and had begun to look nasty.
The police, had been * airly rough all
day, were iMing their tempers altos -
gether. Then an electric andaulet
whined up, and before it had etopped
M. Lepine, in his black frock coat and
top hat, was out of it and in among
the crowd -
He did net nay much. He Juat
glanced round him with those quick-
seeing brown eyes of hie, and smiled,
"Calm ia what I would recommend,
he said, "there must be a few of you
whose consciences are not quite clear,
and if my men arrest any of these,
well------3*
And the crowd yelled “Vive Lepine!*
• M. Lepine is an inatlable worker.
He ia Invariably np at 5 a. m., and even
before that if there be any heed for
him. It is a mystery when he finds
time for eleep for his appetite toe.,
the details of the work of h diffi-
cult charge is terrific, and he rarely
if ever goes to bed early.
"The bad characters are most wake-
ful at hours when we respectable eiti-
Bens ought to be asleep," is one of his
favorite sayings. “Therefore, we who
have to make eleep possible for re-
spectable citizens may never sleep with
more than one eye at a time," and he
certainly acts up to that axiom.
Altogether M. Lepine has proved him-
self to be the right man in the right
place. His calm, under all cirum-
stances, and the rapidly with which he
followa up quick thought with quicker
action have, as well as his unfailingly
clear and juat judgment, endeared him
to the Parisians, and Paris without
"Papa Lepine," as the Parfians call
him, would cese almost to be the Paria
which we know.

Would It be advisable to bring this
pure motherhood in contact with the
political mob, the bums and thuga of
politics, and subjeet future generations
to their influence through this moth-
erhood?
No true woman has a deal re to be
cast into such a writhing, seething
mass of political strife, to stamp her
unborn with such traits of character as
are most prominent in the political
arena.
God aaid to the woman (Gen. Ill, 18)
that her husband should rule over her.
Paul in his letter to Timothy (First
Tim., 11, 13) says suffer not a woman
to usurp authority over the man.
If the Bible ia the word of inspira-
tion. why eliminate truths from ita
teachings which sre of such vast im-
portance at this time and also to future
generations?
Woman should perfect herself in the
sphere of work for which God intend-
ed her, and in which Pau! says she
ahall be saved,
Man was not created for the woman,
and from a scriptural standpoint should
not be under her control, but the wo-
man was created for the man and to
be In subjection to him. (I Corinthians,
11, 3 to 18.)
If we are Christiana, guided by the
teachings of God and Hie Inspired
writers, we will not set up a doctrine
in controversy to divine teachings.
Ability to govern ir not disputed,
but when force of ability is expended
on the production and rearing of a
family, producing and maintaining an
eden In the home, there will be little
desire to conduct a politieal cam-
paign.
If woman acts within her sphere her
interests will be cared for by the ris-
ing generation, whom she has trained
through her ability as mother and in-
structor in the principles of equitable
government.
May we not hope to see in the near
future the question of woman's rights
give way to the more important one
of their sacred duty in the home, where

"Certainly,” answered Billy, but
