A QUESTION.


Wouldn't you consider a
man capable of doing the most
intricate work, capable of doing
the simple work also?
Would you consider a man
capable only of doing the sim
pie work, quite as capable for
that work, as the more skillful
one?
We have been getting ALL
your intricate and difficult
work during the years past,
now let us have ALL your
work which requires less skill;
then note after it leaves our
hands how much better it
looks-see if it does not give
you better satisfaction.
Your watch is one of your
best friends; 1T merits the treat
ment you accord your friends.
We give it such treatment.
1t is our business. Ten years
of satisfactory work have
given us the reputation for the
best; and yet we are doing
better work to day than ever.
We are working just as hard
to keep that reputation as we
ever did to gain it. We are
not content to rest easy, and
let the reputation do all the
work; the quality will never be
lessened.
DO you know that your old
key winder can be converted to
a stem winder, and that it can
be done so it will wind as
smooth as melted butter? We
have converted a number of
them and can convert yours.

In the coming Republican Ma
tional Convention which meets in
st. Louis on June 16, it is intend
ed to connect the various State
delegations with the speakers
desk by telephone, so that the
chairman may know the name of
every man who is recognized, and
thus be able to announce his name
to the convention. The detail of
the plan proposed does not differ
from the system of room-to-room
telephone in vogue in the larger
hotels. There will be a central
office back of the speakers stand,
and from there an operator will
connect the various delegations
with the chairman or with each
other, as the case may be. The
arrangements for giving the news
to the outside world by telegraph
will be the finest and most com
plete ever attempted at a national
convention.

HASTY LEGISLATION.

in the Senate the other day the
new Quarantine Law was intro
duced at half past one on the af-
ternoon of one day and passed on
the third reading the following
morning at half past ten. This is
hasty legislation with vengeance,
and it was simply impossible for
the members to give the bill that
consideration which it's import
ance demanded. The excuse Civ
en- for rushing the bill
through was that it was almost
identical with the United States
quarantine law. That may be
true, but time was not even taken
to consider whether the conditions
under which the bill was passed
in the United States were identi-
cal with those obtaining here. But
the bill is passed and there is no
use in crying over spilled milk.
1t is permissible, however, to pro.
test against such undue haste in
the future.
1t is apparent that attempts
will be made to rush bills
through in these the closing days
of the session. Indeed the Exc
cutive has already commenced to
hurry the House of Representa-
tives into considering bills which
they have not yet reached. But
that body does not seem to be
much worried in the matter and
pursues the even tenor of
its way regardless of the
hints OF the Executive. Even
the statement of Minister
Cooper this morning that the Ex-
ecutive did not intend to grant the
Legislature the extra thirty days
allowed by the Constitution did
not seem TO affect its members.
Nor should it, for as long as the
House holds back the main appro.
priation, license and other impor-
tant bills it can force the Execu-
tive to give them an extra thirty
days to finish up in, especially as
the claim is made that if the
Executive had been ready
with its reports and bills in the
early portion of the session as the
law provides there would have
been no necessity for the extra
thirty days. Let us have no more
hasty Legislation that we may live
to repent in sack-cloth and ashes
for the next two years or longer.
