The New York Election.
The may or ality fight in New York is
ahot one, and the people of the consol-
lated city eat, drink, sleep and work
- in an atmosphe1e that is overcharged
with political electricity.
This is nothing" new for New York.
The voters of that city save all their
politics for the month preceding an
election, and then they make abusiness
of politics. They poll the cars in the
nterest of their'candidates on their way
to business in the morning; they talk
more politics than trade to their cus-
tomers dui 1110' the day; they listen to
political.- speeches at lunch time, and
" march in parades and sing campaign
songs in the evening, prolonging the
evening hours well into the next morn-
ing at that. >
This method of remaining bottled up
for eleven months of the year and
before election is productive of unlim-
ited elfervescence while the political
bottle remains, open. Political inten-
sity is not without its advantages, how-
ever, for when everybody is absorbed
in politics the voters are pretty sure to
learn what the issues are. If the peo-
ple of New York do not elect the right
man for Mayor next Tuesday, those
. who vote cannot plead ignorance as an‘

hardly fail to know who ought to be
' elected.

I I ’ The Town Clerk.
On Tuesday the town clerks of Con-
necticut got together at Savin Rock
and had a lot of fun and sea food. Did
you ever stop to think says the Water-
bury Republican, -what important func-
tionaries these official chaps are in
Connecticut? When we are born they
make note of it; when we commit mat-
rimonythey keep tabs on us; when we
die they jot it down. and we can’t even
be buried without their per mission.
- we dispose of a piece of real estate they
they want a memorandumof the trans—
action and they won’t take the will for
I the deed. If we mortgage our house
to Europe they are bound to know all
about it, and put it down in black and
white. We can ‘,t organize a joint
stock company without taking them
into confidence and telling them all'.
about it. The Connecticut town cleI k
tion about our personal affairs and his
office is an 211 senal of deadly weapons

mind our P’s and Q.’ s and also our Y s'

compliments of the season.

are more physicians than can secure a
paying practice, more lawyers than
profitable clients and more teachers
than schools. It is now claimed that
this overproduCtion ' has ‘ reached the
pulpit, and that preachers far outnum-
berchurches and that the denomina-
tional colleges, theological seminaries
and‘the various church societies for
helping young men to an education are
men who are crowding the older one!
out of their pulpits.
The overproduction of clergymen is
tan-t denominations, although it is per
drawing up the cork during the month.

If.
in order to get money with which to go ,
is a whole reference library of 1nf01m1~ ,
It has long been apparent that: the-re i .
still swelling the army of young clergy- SChOOI 12:15 P- m

haps most conspicuous in the Congre-
gationalist and Methodist bodies. Bo's-
ton has a Congregational Board of Pas-
with the result that New England is
overrun with clergymen without pul-
pits. This evil is quite as apparent in
the Methodist Episcopal denomination.
There is scarcely an annual conference
held any more in which'resolutions are
not offered protesting against transfers
from other conferences because there
are too few churches to supply appoint-
ments for those already residing within
conference bounds.
At first blush this condition of things
might be accepted as an indication that
religion is on the decline, and that
there are fewei' church members in
proportion to population than formerly,
and that there is an oversupply of
preachers because the people do not
want to hear the preachers any more.
But-the census of church membership
contradicts this assumption, and the
only explanation that can be offered
for the oversupply is that more young
men are educated for the pulpit than
for mei 1y 1n pr opo1tion to population.

FEMININE CHAT.
How 1 e1 y few men appreciate having
the woman thev 101 e as much loved by
some one else.
N o matter whz‘ t shape hats may be
they a1 e appa1antly an fait if they are
only becoming.
If you can look p1e1t1 and act agree-
ably at the breakfast table the success
of the day is assured.
Not to ha1 e braid somewhere on your
gown is to do away with the winter’s
most popular trimming.
Not one woman .in ten really looks
well in the blouse costume, but they
will'all wear it because it is the fash-
ion.
The engagement cup and saucer has
passed into oblivion and a pretty spoon
is now given to the “happy pair. This
certainly is more appropriate. '
There is only one thing that makes
you glad when some one else breaks
youi hand-mirror, and that is that the
promised seven years’ bad luck will
come to her instead of to you. '
The fashion' 1n millinery this season
makes every woman look as though she
were suffering from a case of big head.
A five-leaf clover inclosed in a glass
disc surrounded by Whole pearls is
consider ed the best of good luck
charms. .
The joy of choosing one ’s own name
rather than any innate modesty induces
a writer to select a nom de plume.
It is a mean man who says that the
only woman who doesn’t add poStsm ipts
to her letters ls the one who can’t
, write.
How awfully gruesome is the feeling
I that comes over you when you see the
’ diphtheria sign on some door which
you are obliged to pass.
l Is there any time when life seems so
perfectly worth the living than when we
come home from school wearing the
good conduct medal.
Sunlight is a rare beautifier of the
l complexion.
What on earth would our homes look
i like without scrap baskets?
l Whenever we hear of a young and
attractive woman accepting a situation -
l as chaperon to the daughter of 3. mil-'
; lionaire widower we cannot help think-
l ing that maybe she has hopes of step-
l ping into the shoes of the late lament-

Saturday is a joy to the school-boy,
