SKIRTS AND MORALITY.
A Minneapolis preacher says:
''There an? men in hospitals and
in hell who owe their damna
tion U» the skirls of some had,
Ijcauliful woman."
True, perhaps; hul the main
trouble is not willi Ihe skirt or
villi the bad, beautiful woman;
it is with the man. What differ
•nce should il make to a real
man, a manly man, whether a
ivoman is robed in a fig" leaf or
in elaborate and intricate and be-'
ivildering Parisian gown? I'or
ill of her guises and fancies and
•oneealiuents, a woman is still
i woman, and men know her. We
droll into Ihe art museum; we
see Psyche bending above the
>ool, laving her mirrored beau
ies; or we see her at Ihe feet,
)i Yenus; and we sec Venus, or
ve sec Cleopatra drifting down
he Nile, with water nymphs;
jlaying around the edges of the
large; but are we the least ex
•iled by these thing.*? Nol if
ve are cleanly moral.
As for the skirts women now
vear, they are, in all respects,
he most rational skirts they have
sver worn. There is no big waste
»f material. They {enable ,wn.
nen to walk without unneces
sary hindrance. They are loo
ihorl to sweep up Ihe unclean
lccumulations <>f the street. No,
he trouble is not with Ihe kind
>f skirls women wear; if is with
he men who are abnormal and
ow in their inclinations, and we
nay as well admit if. — Seal lie

ELECTION HELPS PROSPERITY.
Tile Kill I e Miner, a powerful
Montana paper lhal lias. through
many political bailies, emerged
s 111i 1 i11 k al I he eliose of cam
paigns, friendly Willi both I he
a inning and I lie losing faction,
iccaiise of its neutrality, comes
»ut editorially with the follow
ing, in support of the Democratic
movement:
Tl would appear that in finan
cial and industrial circles the
presidential election is already
liscounled and hence the in
creasing prosperity of the coun
I ry.
All over the nation it seems
lo he realized lhal a change of
iidminislrations will henefil lhal
country and thai legitimate busi
ness will welcome Democralic
success at Ibis I inie.
The situation is different lliis
election from what it has often
been in the past, fop Hie reason
lhal the Democrats are pledged i
when in power lo revise Ihe tar
iff a schedule al a lime, instead
i»f turning Ihe industrial life of
Ihe nation topsy-turvy, as was
Ihe case when Ihe Payne-Aldrich
bill was before congress, for lhal
measure attempted to change Ihe
rale of duly upon nearly every
product produced in Ibis country.
The Democratic national plat
form makes Ihe clear and open
statement: "We recognize lhal
our system of tariff taxation is
intimately connected with Ihe
business of Ihe country, and we
favor Ihe ultimate attainment of
Ihe principle we advocate by leg
islation lhal will nof injure or
destroy legitimate industry."
That is an assurance lhal
should satisfy, and which, in fact,
appear* to have satisfied, all
honestly-conducted business in
Ihe T'niled Stales.
However much wngerintr upon
election may be decried, il i* rec
ognized everywhere n« a leading
straw showing which way Ihe po
litical wind is blowing. f<»r those

Non-Partizan Nominee for the
Lower House
who gamble upon such results do
not allow their partisanship to
get away with their judgment.
In New York at the present
time, where election betting is u
regular phase of every campaign,
(lie announcement is made thai
I lie odds are now four I«» one Ihat
Oovcrnor Wilson will be Heeled.
All past precedents will have
I«> be sH aside if this does nol
iiic.iii a clean sweep fur the Dem
ocrats in the nation.
All over the country I lie people
are looking forward to a change
and this sentiment seems to n*
even more widespread at the
present lime than if was in I38'i,
when Mr. Cleveland was circled
for the first time.
If the Democrats bar! been as
long in power as the Republicans
have been, it is not improbable
that they would have become as
reckless as the present parly in
power, and not as responsive as
they should be, and as a conse
quence the voters would demand a
change of administration.
The disposition In give Democ
racy an opportunity appears to
be general throughout I he coun
try ji I this writing.
