A Square Deal for a Woman. N THE Philadelphia mint it is not nec- essary to ask if any- body has seen Kelly. That particular Kelly —Miss Kelly is the proper form — is al- ways on the job, and has been for several Attention to her work and the capac! to perform it properly have brought her almost to the head of the mint, and with her $3,500 a year she is the highest salaried woman in the em- ploy of the United States government. Miss Kelly does not waste any time hurling epithets at the monster man. She has gone on quietly demonstrating her ability to do the work given her, and has not lacked for appreciation. As a rule any one who proves to have capacity and industry is appreciated, and very rarely is a person of that sort found in the ranks of the grand army of grum- blers. ee ve EN) years. “Two of a Kind.” VERY day the genuinely unselfish Republican insurgent senators must regret the death of Senator Dolliver of Iowa, who, whether mistaken or other- wise, was really honest in his views, and who had the intellectual and normal qualities required of aleader. It would be idle to attempt to persuade the people that Senator La Follette is any more in earnest in his professions than is William J. Bryan, because the senti- ment appears to be that both are looking out to get the best end for themselves, Good Roads. Due to Auto. ACCORDING to figures from Wash- ington the States are now spending at the rate of $150,000,000 per year for improvement of their roads. The agita- tion for good roads first became notice- able about twenty years ago. The work of convincing farmers that improved roads would be worth much to them was hard, and in some sections they are not Ten years ago, when the automobile became a factor in the situa- tion, good expenditures began to be made in some of the wealthier States on something like a large scale. But as late as 1904 the annual expenditure in all the States was not a third of the sum now yearly invested in that work. The automobile is largely to be credited for this advance, and to it farmers who now enjoy good roads and would not go back to the old ways owe gratitude. Woodrun Wilson's Bee.

He has progressive whist distanced, and if he keeps on it may be that Victor Berger of Wisconsin will be willing to go on his ticket as Vice-President. “A TURKISH CIGARETTE.” Caustic Comment. O MORE women clerks need apply for em- ployment to the Southern Pacific Railroad. It seems that just as women em- ployes become useful, they get married. Accord- ing to recent court deci- sions it might be that the bridegrooms could be mulcted for ‘‘un- reasonable ’’ restraints of business. * The announcement from Morocco that the Germans have established a beer house at Agadir can—diplomatically speaking—be given but one meaning and that is that the Kaiser means to hold on to Agadir and to supply his soldiers with all the comforts of home. % Money is cosmopolitan. British funds provide hotels in New York. American money, besides providing for pauper noblemen, constructs subways in London. French capital builds skyscrapers in New York and Dutch money erects the same sort of structures in Chicago, while capital of all nations is eager to get in on Chinese loans. * Every little while signs of decadence are manifest in Boston. It is now far from being the town it was when the descendants of its Puritan settlers moulded its manners and fixed its cus- toms. The announcement is now grave- ly made that spaghetti has become a popular article of food in the former Athens of America. The invading food made its advent modestly and almost apologetically. Recently, however, it has had vogue in many of the restau- rants. One importer admits having brought into the city 900,000 cases last year. The consumption of beans and fish cakes has fallen off notably in the past few years and neither has valid claim to be considered Boston's chief article of food. The sacred codfish is still over the gilded dome of the state house. While that responds to changing winds, hope for Boston will surviv« comicbooks.com
