THE LADIES ARE INSISTENT. , The question of the degree of pro gressiveness which may be ascribed to President Taft, and whether, if he la a progressive at all, he has been consistent In that role, is now bother ing the women folk, as well as the men. This Is a matter of moment in some of the western States, where women vote, and will participate In the presidential election. Politically speaking, the charge Is that President Taft has tried to be all things to all women. Ida Husted Harper, a wo man suffrage advocate, writing of the recent election In California, where the suffragists won a notable victor-, thus treats the subject of Mr. Taft's attitude toward universal suffrage: Many of the suffragists at the Cooper Union jollification felt that Mrs. Stanton Watch's attack on Pres ident Taft did not take sufficient ac count of his "progressive" tendencies. No doubt the Presidential office was turned over to him with rigid instruc tions not to do or say anything which would disrupt the party, and not un derstanding political machines, he tried at first to steer carefully. In his "welcome" to the National Suf frage convention, which Mrs. Blatch objected to, the reference to "Hot tentots" in connection with the de mand of women for the franchise, and the doubt that all the "Intelli gent" women would use it, was ex actly the same kind of a "break" as Mr. Taft made when he declared the Payne-Aldrtch tariff bill the best ever passed. He was trying to keep on the safe side and not hurt his party, but as soon as he heard from the voters of the country he began "progress ing," until now he can hardly wait till congress meets to use a club on that peerless bill. It is precisely the same way with suffrage for women, now that about a million of them actually possess it, when on his present tour he reached Washington, where women vote, he was ready with an Interview in which he said: "I want the women of this country to have the full right of suf frage as soon as they all desire It." Of course not all women any more than all men ever agreed on any sub ject since the world heKan, unil If the suffrage Is a "right" then even a large mapority should not he allowed to keep It from even a small minority, but the point is that all doubts as to the "Intelligent" women had vanish ed. "If you use your vote wisely," he aid, "then, of course, all over the country we will follow you." A little hard on the women of those other four States where they have been vot ing from 15 to 41 years without the rest of, the country evincing any de sire to follow but still showing progress. Then Mr. Taft went down Into Oregon, where the women cau't vote and there he wobbled, saying to the masculine part of his audience: "You have not brought your State to suf frage for women, and I don't know whether you are going to, but I don't know that It make very much differ ence, for 1 have no doubt they exer cise Just as much control over you men as If they had the votes." The Oregon nii evidently have a good deal of doubt or they would not have defeated a woman suffrage amend ment five times. But wasn't this a ooia douche for the Orearon woman who are going to make the struggle again next year that all they want ed a vote for was to control the men 7 Mr. Taft reached California Just as the women ther had gained the vic tory, the greatest ever Won for wo man suffrage In this country; but all he was reported as saying was "It won't do for you to say 'We will not go down to those awfur polls where mose awrui persons stand around you nave got to hecom a purt of mose awrul people and make them better." As tens of thousands of Oal- nornia women had been work In whole yew for the prlvlng of going tn those "awful polls" and as those "awful persons" had Just Vote! tn glv them this privilege, Mr. Taft's warning seemed rather belated to say the least. ' Now doesn't It seem atr. iK.t . President could not rise to the dig nity and Importance of a situation like this, especially when before and iir nn e.eition he never h..iii..i lo declare hlrtwlf In favor of suffrage . . - n ana tin. hh publicly, ' no ftecret nf th . the . . in., lrlniii entirely?"

If Mr.' Taft does look upon the ladles as real people, endowed with sufficient Intel- lleence. and having the Inclination, to aid In conducting the affairs of State, then they are insisting that he take a stand that may be understood both in States where woman 'suffrage has been adopted, and in States where a majorlty of the voters still look, with I disapproval upon the idea.

The situation seems to be that, Mr. - Taft has encountered a good deal ofjcIUenU occur to machlnes thSt are opposition from both the progressives! uppoaea to have expert drivers, or and standpatters, ana now tne laaies are declining to smile upon mm wun favor. CAPTION FltOM PITTSBURG ! J. Gordon Ogden, Ph. D., on the authority of Popular Mechanics, a monthly magazine published In Chi cago, is professor of physics In thle l'ith avenue High school of Pitts burgh, Pa. He has been writing a scries of articles on "The Kingdom of Dust" for; the Chicago publication, and in lust month's Installment he said: , Unfortunately, the chosen places of the earth, climatically speaking, such as Denver and Ashevllle, where the natural conditions are most favorable for patients suffering from tuberculo sis, have become hot-beds for the growth and dissenmination of this disease. By every train sufferers came to these places, and congregate In a comparatively narrow area. Every swirl of dust In these centers of in fection carries more germs than are to be found anywhere else, and it is almost a miracle when anyone recov ers in these nurseries of germs, the conditions, other than climatic, being so adverse. The chief interest in this lies In the presumptive ignorance that may lurk under a doctor of philosophy title and in the reflection, what a vast amount of mischief goes along with the bless ings of a free press,. and the ability of anyone to break into print at will. This man does not know that the actual contraction of tuberculosis In the Ashevllle section Is so rare as to amount to a condition of practical Im munity; he does not know that the percentage of recoveries in cases where constitutional conditions, nour ishment and habits of life warrant medical science In labeling them "pos sible" la very' high; and this most deadly of diseases; if a recovery were "almost a miracle" few cases, of any sort, would recover; there would be a high percentage of those who con tracted the disease, If not among na tives, certainly amongst well people of all sorts who come here In thou sands from all parts of the United States. This is a case of simple Ig norance, Inexcusable in a man who undertakes to convey general Instruc tion, -i ' - , . , y He evidently does not know, further, that Ashevllle has taken measures of precaution against this disease and others so advanced, so thorough, as to warrant the confident assertion of Its citizens that there is no 'place on earth where the health of the non- Infected Is safer. It is tlie business of Aslievillc to make known those facts to the world, and Dr. Ogdcn's ignor ance of them may be excusable, Inas much as he has not been Informed by Ashevllle. A degree of common sense, how- ever, to say nothing of the reasoning ibility that is supposed to be pos sessed by an educated man. should have saved this Pittsburgher from that unfortunate combination of "the chosen places of the earth, climati cally speaking," and "hot-beds of growth and dissemination." Is this a disease of rare type, cases of which are congregated at Ashevllle and Denver? It Is a disease that furnishes a great proportion of the sickness In death in every community; It is espec ially prevalent In urban communities. When there are many people engaged in Indoor pursuits; tenement dwellers, those who do manual labor In crowded places, with Impure air, bearing Irri tating dust and smoke; people en gaged In short-lived occunatlona: wage-earners who, being poorly paid, are not well nourished; where thers Is congestion and TuaJ-dahln. no vrt v. Ignorance and filth such a place and very such place Is a hot-bed indeed for the tuberculosis germ; and the most Intelligent, scientific and thor ough safeguards can hardly render It otherwise, especially without favoring climatic condition. Such a place as Pittsburg, for In stance. It has been observed that William Randolph Hearst has showed a great deal of magnanimity in his references to the late Joseph Pulltser, since the World, and the World cartoonists, havs dealt rather severely with Hearst The last cartoon of this kind was probably the best. As the polit ical world Is aware, Hearst recently left the Independence League, his own creature, to its own devices, and returned to the Democratic fold. Macauley, the cartoonist, pictured Hearst as Hamlet, but with the cus tomary lemon head, and in his hand was placed a skull bearing ths words "Independence League." The picture bore the caption, "Alas, Poor Torlck t Knew illm." Hearing that the peach trees, or some of them, in Chunn's cove are in blossom reminded Postmaster Rollins Ihal 3S yesrs ago this autumn peaches in this se.'ll.in generally blossomed was a total failure of thb crop he following year, for, said MaJ.

JtltStltssllstSsil!Ss5sst St l s A PERSIAN FAIRY TALE. ? ; t st n K K t t H H H H t H l (Fabricated for the Century by Madge C. Jentson.) Long, long ago. In those days when men were yet at times the victims of fraud and treachery, a man had a wife named Kadijah. The bonds of Hymen had not long been tied before Kadijah proved herself a frightful scold. Day and night her tongue ran is slick as a fiddle-stick, and always out of tune. Life with her became, shortly so unbearable that the man took her by the hair of her, head and cast her Into a welr-hole. For a day he enjoyed sweet peace, ind then there arose from the pit such a commotion as brought the man running to the edge. "Alas! . Alas!" cried a piteous voice from the darkness. The man seated himself easily on the edge of the pit; the voice was not Kadljah's. "What's up?" he inquired with In terest. The voice grew . high, and shrill with excitement "It's me. It's a dragon. Have pity, beseech you! Rescue me! I am alone with a dreadful creature who harangues me day and night". "Oh, that!" interrupted the man. 'That's only a scold. That's Kadl lah," and he went on about his busi ness. Tre dragon did not cease for many lays to Implore help; but the man, from being deceived in a wife, had ?rown wary, and thought a well as good a place for a dragon as any. At length the dragon promised that !f it were released it would make the man grand vizir of the kingdom. "But how can you do that?" said the man, who 'believed himself adapt ed to high life. "I will place myself at the gate of the king's palace," said the dragon, "and I will devour all those who go out and those who come In. Then will the king Issue a proclamation which will promise th man who rids the Hand of Its affliction the hand of his laughter, in marriage, and the staff of his grand vizir. When you hear the proclamation, you can come, and I will go away. The man was much pleased with this plan, and he hastened to pull the dragon from the pit Everything happened as the dragon prophesied; the man became grand vizir; he had the princess for. his bride; and his fame as a magician went through the land. y It was not difficult to conduct a magician business; until the third moon his prosperity continued. Then he was summoned in hot haste to the ?ourt of a neighboring king. "Oh, man, live forever!" said the ourler from the neighboring klng lom. "A dragon has seated Itself at the gate of my lord's palace, and de vours without ceasing all those who go forth and those who enter In. What may be done? Thy great name. th, most excellent, has no power, and at its sound the monster licks its Hps is If It hungered for yoir bones." The man was at hfs wit's end. If he went he Judged that the dragon would do no less than1, make an end of him, and his princess would be left a widow, if he refused to go, the magician business would be bankrupt, ind some one else would , become Yrand vizir. After much thought, he hit upon a plan. , Seating himself jpon a snow-white palfrey, he gath ered about him enough retinu to m ".!;: himself Imposing, and rode iway to the neighboring kingdom. The dragon saw the retinue from afar off and began to spit fire In a most disconcerting manner. And when' It aw the man seated upon the snow white palfrey, It bellowed until the earth shook as with palsy, and fell upon him with an air of the keenest relish. "Stop!" cried the man, nonchalant ly lighting cigarette at the dragon' breath. "I have let Kadijah out of '.he well-hole, and she la romlng this way a fast as she can." "I she a good runner?' asked th lragon. "She la." replied th man, where upon the dragon fell back hastily. After a moment, the man removed his cigarette, and used his hand for a speaking-trumpet. -If I hear, where you are, 114 send her your way,", lie shouted. Moral: Some men have the ability to us their misfortune a stepping stones to success. . Tlie Youth's Companion Cakmlar for , IslS.
