A Household Name.

Royal Baking Powder is a house
hold word pretty much the civilized
world over, and the article itself has
become a necessity in thousands upon
thousands of families in nearly every
civilized country. The success of this
splendid preparation is due to the fact
that it is exacely what it is represent
ed to be-a pure ream of tarter bak-
ing powder. One of its great recon-
mendations is it's high ~leavening pow
er. That, of course, appeals to every
housewife. 1t secures a light baking
with the least amount of attention
and trouble. 1t can be counted upon.
But it has a virture beyond that-it
is absolutely pure" Royal Baking
Powder contains nothing deleterious.
1t can be used with perfect confidence
and with the certainty that, SO far as
it is concerned, the baking will be
thoroughly wholesome.

The question which is raised in re-
gard to the constitutionality of a law
providing for the use of voting ma
cnineS is at least an interesting one.
When the constitution was framed
voting machines were not dreamed of
and the provision that ''all elections
by the people shall be by ballot" had
no reference to them. The context
SHOWS that it was intended to differ
entiate popular elections from cleo
tionS by the general assembly, the
former being by ballot and the latter
via vOce. The real object Of the pro-
vision was to secure secrecy and in
dependence In popular elections, and a
voting machine would do that as well
as the Australian ballot system does.
1t is probable that the Australian bal
lot law is Unconstitutional because it
deprives voters from voting for any
except the names Of persons on the
ballot, and a man ought to have the
pri yelege to vote for whom he pleases.

inconsistencies of Union Labor.

President Gomper's emphatic ap-
prevail of the boycott as one of the
methods as organized labor can no
more be defended than a the black
listing of workingmen by those who
have employed them. To boycott a
mans business because he may ride in
a street car belonging to a company
with which a union has a grievance
is a serious infringement upon the
rights of the individual, because it is
intended to destroy his business. IT
is an outrage upon the individual for
an employer to notify other employers
not to give work to a discharged man
AN outrage which MI. Gompers de
nounces. 1t is of the same character,
however, as the boycott. The man
who favors one cannot consistency de-
nounce the other Jour-
