but have told the people that If they
would send fair men to the state con-
vcution | would risk my chance of get
ting their support on the showing l
might make in my home county. l am
satisfied with what has resulted from
that course.
Now as to Cook County. went into
this contest because I thought saw
a chance to demonstrate that the Re-
publican party could rule itself. instead
of being ruled by few men who might
have more regard for their own selfish
interests than for the interests OF the
people. also because I thought l saw a
chance to demonstrate that we have u
primary law that means what we said
Il did when we passed 1t. and that does
give the people an opportunity to cx-
press themselves. l was moved to take
this course more especially because Of
the great corporate questions and mu-
nicipal problems which are coming up
for solution in the next few years.
have felt that the state officers and
members of the Legislature who must
handle these questions should be nomi-
mated in such a way that they will feel
responsible to the people rather than
to few men. Starting without an or
ganized force, and with no help until
the last couple Of weeks from men who
are familiar with the details of politics,
our work has had to progress slowly.
Whatever difficulties we have encOun-
tered were foreseen before my candi.
dacy was announced. The manner In
which they have been surmOunted ex.
ceeds my expectations. My preference
has been for crescendo campaign.
That we are achieving. The political
condition in Cook County has been
changed from one of lukewarmness to
one Of positive enthusiasm. and the on.
thusiasm Is growing. The people have
taken hold of my candidacy. because
1t stands for something. and that some
thing a principle in which the people
are Interested.
On looking back at what we have
done and forward at what we intend to
do. can say In all sincerity that l am
thoroughly satisfied with the situation.
I never have been better satisfied or
more encourage than I am to-day.

GARTER AND THE MERIT LAW

] idge Carriers position on the civil
service question Is In accord with pop.
ular sentiment In Chicago. In u re-
cent speech he said:
my friend ana colleague Is reported
to have said in the ward last Saturday
night that the present civil service law
ought to be amended or repealed. !
want to say that II know the spirit
OF the people, both in the State ut large
and in Chicago, they are not In favor
of nominating or electlng any man who
advocates that doctrine. An honest
civil service law, honestly enforced. is
at the base of all municipal progress;
1t Is the breath of life of all reform"
Let the aspirant for public office who
Is tempted to threaten the stability of
the civil service law remember the fate
of "Charley" Thornton, whose contin-
ued opposition to the merit law caused
his complete retirement from politics.

A st. Louis theater manager an.
nOunces through the newspapers that
mOther-in-law jokes do not go" In his
playhouse. Since the days Of Arlstoph.
anes the senile joke has had a place
on the boards of the theater. Its bald.
headed appearance excites disgust In
people who enjoy real bit OF humor.
Ill nature does not necessarily 60 with
wit, and the joke as to mOthers-in- lay
is founded on nothing less than lima
ture. The mothers-in-law are like the
mothers, good, bad and Indifferent, but
mostly good. How any man can love
his wife and hate the woman who gave
her birth is almost uncomfortable. OF
course there are exceptions, but the
exceptions prove the rule, and the rule
ID that your mother-in-law IL entitled
to your respect and gratitude.

The country Is aging nOticeably. This
Is testified to In the closer calcula lions
as to price between the retail merchant
and his customers and the demand that

use, and the Treasury officials at
Washington have become SO impressed
that q popular demand and need for
such coin exists that bill has been
prepared for introduction In Congress

THE MAY pEARSON'S.

Although largely devoted to fiction by
the most entertaining writers of the
day, Parsons Magazine covers Il wide
range in its popular treatment of his
torlcal and scientific subjects and in
dealing with striking aspects of such
current events ns appear to he of vital
and world wide interest. The fact that,
In spite of the VIGOROUSLY bad roads of
this country, no less than ten States
have exhibits at the present Universal
Exposition in Paris illustrating how
perfect roads should be made, gives u
special timcliness 10 the article entitled
Good Roads for Bad" which appears
in the May issue. This article, illus
trnted with photographs taken for eXhi-
bition in Paris. deals with the intense
~ interesting experiments that have
been made by the Government In the
matter of rOad-maklng. As an exam
pie, II has been found that, whereas on
an ordinary road 1t took twenty horses
to pull eleven tons, on an improved
road the same weight was drawn easily
by one horse. With the cycling and
automobile season in view such an arti-
Gle cannot fail TO attract wide atten-
ton. The big telescope that has been
built for the Paris Exposition is the
subject of an article entitled THE
Moon AT Thirty-sly Miles," which en-
bodies an account of the secret process
used in constructing the lenses for such
an instrument. This article, in com
mon with those throughout the maya
zine, is profusely illustrated.
