THE constitutional convention bill provides that he framers may in their discretion provide for the election of state officers at the same time that the constitution is voted on. Those who advocate this step do so on the ground that if we are admitted this coming winter we can take hold al once without the formality of an cleo ton and can place two senators in congress almost immediately. Those opposed to it believe that there is . job in the whole inception of the statehood scheme to place the schem- CTS in fat offices. This latter ohjec- tion is hardly we'll taken inasmuch az the bill was drawn up by republican and its strongest supporters or ''schemers" ss some are pleased to name them, were republicans and they still advocate this plan of elect ing officers. Az the territory is dem- ocratic by q large majority and the election of democrats to office IS as sured it scarcely seems plausible that the republican leaders would put up . job of that kiud.

AMERICA cannot afford to close her doors to emigrsnts from the old world We want them; we want them out west; we want good honest industrious families of all nations, to make homes smong us. By their toll they made this country what it is to-day, We want more of the Europeans who have the snap energy and pny'ical condition of our foreiathers. What we do not want is is the scum, the lazy vagabond, the thief and crim. inal.

He Had a Winning Way.

A few years ago the Episcopal diocese of Kentucky appeared to be torn up with dis. sensions about high and low church. The bishop unfortunately allowed his sympathies to be drawn out to one party as against the other, and thereafter becoming disheartened and scouraged, resigned. The present bishop, when called to the diocese, was de- termined to ignore these dissensions, and if possible to harmonize his people. For some time no one was able to discover whether his sympathies were with one or the other party until, an occasion presenting itself in a social circle, a lady with the curiosity of her sex) said: 'Bishop, what are your viewsl We can't find out. Are you high church or low churchr Instantly the bishop replied: "Madam, am high, low, Jack and the game" There are no dissusions now.-Pitts burg Post,

A local politician of some note, whom the colonel had time and again assisted financially, wai opposed to him in politics, and therefore worked and voted against him. A few days after the second defeat of Col. Smith for congress he met his friend, who asked him for a loan of $50.
 "Look here, Sam," said the colonel, "how is it that when run for office you always oppose me, but when you w~nt money you never fail to come to meF'

STORIES ABOUT MEN.

Tho Brilliant Idea That struel sAsAlA
 Palmer.
 When Senator Palmer recently took score of prominent men to the Michigan cluk reunion at Detroit, there were few incl dents of the trip that the senator has thu, far kept quiet. Among the diversions offered to his guests the senator suggested a trip te his log house, few miles from the city. A party was made up, and the keeper of tic rural retreat was told to get up dinner foi fifteen persons. But in some way the word got round that Senator Palmer was going tt give ''grand spread" at his log house, and when he and his guests started for theii drive through the woods they were surprisei to find other wagon loads going in the same direction.
 ''I think" Iaid the senator, ''that it w oull be safe to rai ,s that dinner order to twenty. Eve"
 Acccrdingr he stepped into O store th,i had O telephone and raised his or.ler tt twenty-five. When the log house w;a reached, tht senator was appalled, z, find about 200 hungry and thirsty indivi lualt awaiting hi, dinner. They were not nter. lopers, but II en of distinction in Michigan attending the club reunion, and the senntor'a natural hospitality inclined him to treat the.n well.
 "Dut what shall I dor appealed ths dis tracted steward. "Dinner for twenty-five and here are 200r'
 Cant you kill Jersey cow7"
 "There isn't time."
 But here brilliant idea struck the senator.
 "Why, I'll tell you what to do" he said "Well call it lunch, not dinner. Dinner for twenty-five ought to mako lunch for POO. |
 And thereupon the "lunch" was spread That it was success is indicated by the re. mark of one cf his Washington guests.
