Just before the state election 1t is
well for citizens who earnestly desire
the best welfare of the state to care
fully examine the means at hand to en-
able them to make their influence as
voters felt in the most potent manner
possible.
1t is scarcely compatible with
good sense to consider that there
are more than two avenues of
activity open to voters who desire
to act couscientiously and make
their votes count. There is the Repub-
lican party and the Democratic party.
Whoever, then, proposes to himself to
discharge his duty to the state by con-
Meeting himself with either of the other
so-called parties simply puts himself in
a position to act negative part in pol
itics-to help destroy rather than
build up.
The well-intentioned but utterly mis-
taken gentlemen who are, for example,
organized to further the cause of pro-
hibition through the machinery of the
election are merely throwing their
whole influence against the party that
has the best chance of winning and that
has always been ready and anxious to
further public morality in all possible
ways.
Nearly all the members of the little
group of Prohibitionists have been Re-
publicans. They are Republicans now,
except upon the one question of subor-
dinating all other interests to the desire
to secure legal prohibition of the rum
traffic. They choose, however, to do
their best to overthrow the party that
stands for general good government
and progress in political matters merely
in order that their adhesion to one prin-
ciple may be emphasized.
1t is very mans privilege to follow the
bent of his own inclination in the mat
ter of politics, and if he chooses to OBJ
literate himself and deny to himself, all
political influence, there are none quail
fed to say him nay. But he cannot dc
it without squarely facing the conse-
auences. He cannot claim that by do
ing it he does not place himself in an
tagonism to the general good of all foi
the sake of showing the public that he
has a political fad about century in
advance of the times.
Voters who believe In the rigid con-
troll and restriction of the liquor traffic
you'd find that the Republican party i;
willing to give them hearing, and is
willing to cooperate with them in any
and all plans to reduce the drink evil,
and all other evils that arise from in
temperate habits and become pro.
nounced public disgraces, if they were
to act with it.
Inside the Republican party there is {
fruitful field of effort for the social re
formers, but outside of it they become
cranks and instruments laboring to de-
feat their own ends

Nor the least of the attractions at the
Worlds fair will be bevy of pretty
girls selected with great care from the
various nAtionalities of world. They
will be attired in their native costume.
AS they are already en- route for this
country it is possible that many of them
may never see the opening of the fair,
or if they do, may never return to their
homes. There are plenty of marriage

ANY unnecessary restriction placed
upon the naturalized voter is unjust,
but citizenship should not be loosely be-
slowed upon any one. It is a prize
worthy of the most careful protection.
and any restrictions upon voters for a
time that will ultimately purge the
voting lists of those not entitled to its
rights should willingly be submi tied to.

Jossmalinr In chin..

Jossmaking is very simple. The man
ufacturer's chief stock in trade consists
of wooden or metal molds. In these
thewet clay is put into shape and allowed
to dry. 1t is then touched mp, dipped in
molten glaze and allowed to cool. The
average workman can turn out 100 a day
The clay is kaolin, running from red and
gray TO snow white, and costs about
cent per pound. The glaze is melted In
small charcoal furnace, similar to the
old fashioned soldering furnaces Of r.
tired plumbers.
The wages Of a good artist vary from
20 to 40 cents per day. The cost Of a
fair sized image is about cents. He
sells it for about cents to a native and
for as high as s. to the credulous Euro
pean or American tourist. The molding.
touching aud retouching are the same IN
all shops. The glazing varies indef-
nitely. II may be Opaque, Of any color;
transparent, but tinted with any shade
desired, or clear and colorless. The best
work is made by painting the clay with
heavy white paint and dipping in the
glaze last described. In another kind Of
good work the clay is cOlOred IN caustic
colors, kept in the heat until they have
set and then glazed as usual The Chi
nese are very skllful In this field Of Ia
