Their Regularity.
There has been matchmaking at Gov

trade i'll England, which is for the last
200 years or thereabout. There used to
be three centers of the English trade,
these being Liverpool Coventry and
London. Now there arc practically but
two-Coventry and Birmingham The
test of a good watch is that it should
obtain Kew certificate, and of the
watches th.;t go to Kew 75 per cent are
from Coventry.
AT Kew no watch has yet succeeded
in getting the 100 marks which signify
perfection, but Coventry has come near
est, with 80. and is always well to the
front. The Kew test is no light one.
The watch is tested in every position
and its rate registered, not only per day,
but per hour. 1t is hung by its pendant,
hung upside down, hung on each side,
placed dial down and back down and at
any number of angles, and to finish up

an ice pail No wonder that watch
with Kew certificate is "a comfort to
its owner.
When it is considered that it makes

cult. He became widely known as the
proprietor of the Hub, 105 Court street,

The Constitutional Convention. :

st. Bernard Voice.
The new election law is unques-
tionably long step in the direc-
ton of pure and honest elections.
But while it checked frauds and
ballot box stufting, it cannot relia-
bly, insure a true expression of po-
pular will. Shrewd and unscru-
pulous politicians have designed a
way of defeating the purposes of
the law, and the last election was
replete with evidences showing it's
deficiency.
There is no gainsaying that if
we want to prevent dishonesty and
corruption in our elections we
must have recourse to some plan
or method which the ealskinned
and expert thieves of public OPT
Mon cannot overcome. 1t must
be safely imbedded in our organic
law, and thus placed beyond the
reach of political jugglers, who
would, at the bidding of hungry
office-seekers and for their own
selfish ends, destroy the source
which guaranteed honesty and
purity of the ballot. 1t must be
permanently established to inspire
confidence and belief that we will
| have clean politics in future and
| that the will of the people will be
respected. =.
No better plan is known to era
dicate the infamous political evils
with which we are afflicted thar
by the restriction of the franchise
1t is the only way to put an etec
tive quietus on the corruptionis
and election robber and manipu
lator, and to extirpate bossisn
also. The vehal and ignbran
should be denied the right to par
ticipate in our elections, because
they create turmoil, trouble ant
tloodshed and are a source of Chi
canery and corruption. They hav'
too little appreciation of the grea
privilege they have SO long enjoy
ed and have exercised it 30 fire
: quently and knowingly to the de
triment of good government an
public peace that the right shout
be taken away from them, unit
they are qualified to make an IL
telligent use of it, should the
choose to have that time conie.
Therefore. we hope that Il
constitutional convention will I
. restrict the suffrage as to NAL
- honest and clean elections mo
reasonably certain in Louisiai
= than they are now. Members
all parties, who are patriotic al
loyal citizens, should discard pa

as the following result of the two
caucuses will show: Kyle %; Loucks
IA; Plowman 10; Goodykoontz7 and
2 scattering. Second ballot: Kyle
q; Loucks 16; Plowman IL and
Goodykoontz 8. On the third and
fourth ballots Kyle lost strength,
Loucks held even and Plowman and
Goodykoontz gained. Fifth ballot:
Kyle 20; Loucks y; Plowman II
and Goody koontz 8.
The democrats held a caucus and
nominated I. A. Weeks of Kimball.
AS your correspondent writes this
the impression seems prevalent that
Kyle will not get the BIG senatorial
plum. This will leave it between
Loucks and Plowman, with chances
in favor Of the Black Hills man on
the grand finale.

the recent election. They present
some convincing facts to clinch their
argument why the Hills should have

having great effect.

Jack Hale, the big sheepman, says
that few people realize the violence
of the big storm on Thanksgiving
day. His two men, VIM. Hunter
and Jerry Melinn, were frozen to
death right in a bunch of timber
from which cattle outfits have been
getting poles or logs, and he cannot
yet imagine how anybody could die
of cold there, under ordinary condi-
tions. The real storm belt was only
about forty miles wide, but nothing
could withstand it. Cattle and
horses were actually frozen 10 death
while on the move. and many ami
mails had their legs frozen stiff. a
terrific electric disturbance accom-
panied the storm, and that made it
much worse.
