strong anti-machine sentiment, and
other districts should fall into line
and hold similar meetings, as they
are liable to do, the result would be
disastrous to Mr.. Van SAINTS chances
for nomination, and in turn the
party would be more than likely to
suffer defeat at the polls. The time
to file objections to political action
where those objections apply to party
methods or possible nominees is be-
fore the convention is held. It is too
late to find fault afterwards with any
hope of correcting the error. 1t is
certainly to be hoped that those pres
ent at the meeting on Tuesday next
will be guided in their actions as we'll
as in their words, by unseltish mo-
tives, and that whatever is done in
the way of voicing public sentiment
will be tempered with fairness, frank
ness and for the ultimate good and
success of the Republican party.
Probably Jerry J." is as we'll aware
as anyone can be that the Second dis
trict is not alone in it's desire to see
the party purged of so-called machine
management. For several years the
people have done the voting and the
politicians the fixing" Now that
the people have decided to take
hand in the fixing" and at period
sufficiently early to save the party
from drifting against the rocks of dis
aster, the politicians should be will
ing to patiently await the outcome
just once. 1t may be shock to the ir
sensitive nerves, but after it is all
over they will the better appreciate
what the people have several times
suffered for the sake of party harmony
and party success. II the rank and
file of the Republican party will join
hands and go into the next conven-
tion determined to nominate only
acceptable men to fill the offices, no
fear need be felt over the final out
come.
The Republican party can be trust
ed to place in nomination ticket
that will be elected from top to
bottom. The only apprehension that
need be felt at this time is, that the
politicians and not the people will
dictate the nominations.

CHILDREN IN JAPAN.

Children in Japan have some pets that would be
thought strange by little boys and girls in the
United States Among those most commonly
are tiny dogs and rabbits. and queer breed OF
cats which have white fur with black and yellow
spots and have tails Families In moderate
circumstances usually have aquarium well
stocked with curious varieties OF fish Of beautiful
colors such as gold silver and crimson. some with
spreading fms as fine as gauze. and others round
as ball The most remarkable pet however. Is
the large katydid AS homes for these pets. there
are bamboo cages built like tiny houses. in which
the children arrange beds OF fresh flowers
leaves daily Brightly colored butterflies some
times kept in these cages. In Japan the birds do
not show the least fear Of people. and butterflies
will alight Voluntarily on childrens hands.
