E D I T “Dress and Undress.” HAT constitutes im- proper hot - weather dress for men has been decided in the Chicago Public Libra- ry, where a man who “7 had taken off his coat and exhibited his suspenders was required to put his coat on again, while others who were in their shirt sleeves without suspenders were not interfered with. The head of the library asserts that ‘‘the difference was between dress and un- dress.’ So, according to the rulings of this literary authority, it was not proper for a man to exhibit suspenders in pub- lic. That is settled so far as Chicago's library is concerned, but there will prob- ably be some discussion before the rule is universally accepted. Anyhow, the hot weather will soon be over and we shall have to wear coats. “What's the Matter with Kansas ?” 'ANSAS'’S solid dele- gation of eight Re- publicans voted in the House of Representatives for the Democratic wool bill. There is a good dec! of human nature about the Kansas congressmen. They are in favor of re- duced duties or of no du- ties on imported articles that do not compete with products of their own State. This is the in- ward feeling of a great many people. Most of them, however, realize the fact that if native in- dustries are to be protect- ed there must be protec- tion for all. The perma- nence of the principle of protection can be assured only by party loyalty. The Ministerial Muse. T. LOUIS revels in the possession of a min- ister who composes love songs out of his own head. Sian MANOA Jada One effusion of his muse begins, ‘‘Oh, let me see those sparkling eyes of thine,”’ and goes on until it dwells on ‘Those sweet lips once sweetly kissed by mine."’ While he may be permitted to speak of the sweet lips of the fair one whom he had in mind, it would seem as if he were flattering as well as advertis- ing himself to speak of his own kissing assweet. However, St. Louis, after hav- ing failed to take the beer championship away from Milwaukee, felicitates itself upon the possession of this clerical poet. Admission must be made, however, that this pulpit poet of passion makes verses which in literary merit do not surpass those of the Sweet Singer of Michigan of a generation ago. “SWINGING 'ROUND THE CIRCLE." A L S al WW ore’ Os) AN Caustic Comment. WHEN Canadian reciprocity first be- came a live question, there was general disposi- tion among its ad- \ Ff - vocates to avoid {2 mention of annex- ation. They suc- ceeded to some extent on this side of the line, but in Canada the two issues became mixed and have remained so to this day. The conservatives, in carrying on their electoral campaign, assert that a vote for reciprocity will be a vote for annexa- tion. If they have ground for the asser- tion, the election figures, whatever the general result may be, will have fateful significance. % Governor Wilson, of New Jersey, has a press bureau in Trenton and another in New York City to aid his presidential aspirations. Agents are also abroad working in his behalf in New Hampshire, Ver- mont, and other States. Propagation of this sort costs money and inquisi- tive persons are asking who is furnishing the capital for the Wilson boom. In political circles it is said that Dr. Wilson is an expensive candidate. His campaign for Govern- or of New Jersey, it is asserted, cost $100,000, of which sum ex-Senator James Smith contributed $70,000. Even with this obligation resting upon him, Governor Wilson justified himself in oppos- ing Mr. Smith's desire to return to the Senate.
