Nutriment in Rice Water.

When boiling rice some cooks allow
the cereal to absorb all the water in
which 1t is cooked, while others keep
il supplied with more water and then
drain of and throw it away. When
the latter method is adhered to much
of the nutriment of the rice is wasted.
The orientals long ago discovered
that rice water contains the very
essence Of nutriment. and travellers
in oriental countries when attacked
by stomach troubles incident to the
climate have found that rice water.
when sweetened and favored with
some favorite extract, and set away
to cool. makes a Jelly which may be
eaten cold with cream. This makes a
very nice dessert to serve to children.

CHICAGO'S MAYOR PROPHET
Queer Prophecies About tine Vote of
Illinois in November.

Carter H. Harrison (No. o. who has,
apparently, life lease on the mayoralty
Of Chicago, has been lifting up his voice
in a newspaper interview. giving his
views as to the coming Democratic cam
paign in Illinois. He seems to think
there is going to be Democratic cam
paign. Anyway, he says he will himself
make at least thirty-nne speeches in
Cook county That of itself will make
something like a campaign, but why
thirty-nine? Why not an even forty?
Is the Mayor a believer in the luck Of
odd numbers? Somehow, one is remind
ed of the orthodox "thirty-nine articles"
of church history over which SO much
ink has been shed, so much eloquence
elocuted.
But to return to Carter II. He is wor-
red about a zone man power" He
thinks the foreign-born citizens over
whom he is to exert the magic spell of
his speeches can be reused into distrust
and disapproval of President Roosevelt,
If they can be convinced that there is
"any inclination on the Presidents part
to disregard constitutional limitations, to
exercise a degree of personal power and
authority not upheld by the traditions of
this country"
He doesn't lug Thomas Jefferson in,
and that is a comfort, one of the bless
ings that go along with living on the
shore of Lake Michigan. The profess
sional Mayor, continuing his talk, allows
that there are some 100000 German vot-
ers. 10000 Poles and 10000 Scandina-
VANS, who can be hypno tized into a be-
lief that President Roosevelt is a very
dangerous person, and that, panic-strick-
ell. this body of over 100000 men can
be induced to vote the Democratic ticket,
or any other old ticket, which does not in
clude the names of the electors of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Fond, fond dreamer! Too soon will
the rough winds of November awaken
you from your vision as to Democratic
spell-binding and its results.
President Roosevelt has no more
sturdy admirers than in the ranks of the
Illinois citizens of North Europe birth
and parentage. Every German loves a
good fighter. a sound thinker, a man of
tried and proved patriotism. And so
does every son of the Vikings and every
descendant of the hberty-loving Poles.
And these American citizens upon whom
Carter II. is counting so blithely know
man when they see one. They have
seen Theodore Roosevelt and they recog
nize in him true patriot, a dutiful citi-
zen, 4 man to whom has been, and can
be. trusted the full responsibilities of the
office for which he has been nominated
by the Republican party.
Illinois will give Theodore Roosevelt
such vote as will make Carter Seconds
hair stand TO the four points of the COM
pass. 1t is not to be city election, only,
| next November. The Mayor OF Chicago
| is distinctly out of his element as PRO
| phet of national affairs and national
issues.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
1T Expands Under Republican and Col
1apses Under Democratic Policies.

1T Expands Under Republican and Col
Iapses Under Democratic Policies.
One of the great arguments of the
free traders has been that with free
trade we would have access to the mar
kets of the world" Well, the only time
the free traders have had control of
the government in recent years was in
the second Cleveland administration.
They did not put actual free trade into
operation, but they came close enough
to it to put most of the factories of
this country out of operation. We did
not get the markets of the world. They
may have been open to us, but our man
ufacturers were going out of business so
fast, under the ruinous tariff schedules
the Democrats had put into effect, that
they could not seek the markets of the
world. Their own home market, the best
one to them, was invaded by cheap for
eign goods, however.
Then the protective tariff system was
reinstated by the people of this country,
and Immediately the factories began to
turn their wheels again. Within ten
years we have demonstrated that the
way to get the markets of the world
is to protect our own market against
luVtiSlOU, Dullu up our luuuSIIlcS, anu
then branch out for foreign trade.
We have not had anything like free
trade within those ten years, and yet we
are selling millions of dollars worth of
goods every year in the markets Of the
world"
In Congress, last winter, Congressman
Hill, Of Connecticut, told of a recent
visit he had made abroad. He said:
in the harbor of VIadivostok Russian
Siberia. In the hold Of that ship was
over 700 tons of American agricultural
implements that had come across the
Pacific ocean from America for the use
Of the peasants of Siberia, and shipped
there under the Dingley tariff bill. That
night at the hotel / met the represent
alive Of a locomotive works in Phila-
delphia who told me he had just put i'll
$50 locomotives, for use in the Siberian
railway, shipped there under the Ding
ley tariff law.
"Next day l rode 500 miles up the
banks Of the Amur river over American
steel rails shipped there under the
Dingley tariff law. Then l got aboard
a steamer to go up the Amur 1000 miles.
1t was American built, towed two steel
barges made IN PlttSDufg, snlpped tnere
under the Dingley tariff law.
'In the village of Gorbitza, Siberia,
ten thousand miles from here, the vii
lage consisting of a dozen log houses,
in little store not over 8 by 10, we
bought a package of candy, wrapped in
paper on which was printed the picture
of William Mckinley, to popularize that
candy among the peasants of Siberia,
all shipped under the Dingley tariff
law
That looks as if we had slice Of
the markets of the world, but we never
got anywhere near them under Demo
cratic tariff ideas.

AS soon as the returns from the cleo
ton in November can definitely show to
the business interests of the country that
the party of incompetence and calamity
has again been defeated and that there
fore there will be four years more of Re
publican prosperity, there will undoubt-

prosperity.
Following the election of 1904 the
gains in every direction will probably be
as pronounced and extraordinary as fol-
lowed the Republican victories Of 1896
and 1900
Democratic success always tends to
create alarm and depression through
business circles, while Republican vic
tories, on the other hand always in
spire greater confidence and make times
Immediately better, even with prosperity
already being enjoyed, like in 1900, when
the reelection of President Mckinley

PULlTZER'S MISTAKE.
He Does Not Unders tand the Attitude
of Parker.

Joseph Pulitzer did not attend the
gathering of Democratic editors which
met and communed recently with the
Democratic candidate for the presidency,
but he wrote letter, of which this was
the concluding paragraph:
1t is because l so strongly desire Judge
Parker's election that l speak so plainly on
this subject. l earnestly beg of you when
YOU see him tomorrow at EsOpus, to urge
that he accept also the full responsibility of
his DositiOn; that he VIII not permit the
campaign in New York-tln pivotal State
to be mismanaged by the 81 all politicians
who beset him.
"Beset! "Beset," indeed! Little is
Alton B. Parker ''beset" by the small
politicians to whom Pulitzer alludes,
those who have, for years, been the vas
sails of David Bennett Hill or among
the operators for Tammany. Alton B..
Parker has been one of them himself
Foxy political manager for HILL who
repaid him by an appointment, and who,
in the present year, has repaid him fur
ther. he is not likely to be 'beset" by his
own associates. Mr.. Pulitzer must be
wandering in his mind. 1t is upon those
from whom he wishes Mr.. F arker to dis
sociate himself that Mr.. Parker depends
for whatever vote he may get in New
York-Tammanyite and the Hill bench

lowers Have No Use.
1--WE know what we mean when we
speak of an honest and stable currency"
said President Roosevelt in his speech
of acceptance.
In no official utterance of the Demo
cratic party, or of it's candidates for
President or Vice President during the
last eight years, have the adjectlves
honest" or ''stable" ever been used to
designate the kind of currency DemOc-
racy demanded, and this Notwithstanding
the Democratic phrase makers will use
adjectives freely and recklessly when
ever they have any paramount" or
''tantamount'' idea to advance, like in
the platform adopted at st. Louis, which
said 1.-The existing Republican admins
tration has been SPASMODIC, Err
RATIO, SENSATIONAL, SPECTAC-
ULAR and ARBITRARY"
Alton B. Parker says the gold stand
ard is ''irrevocably established but he
does not say that his own personal be-
lief in it as affording an HONEST
AND STABLE CURRENCY" has been
irrevocably established, nor, furthermore,
that he deemed the Democratic party
wrong, when in Congress, in 1899, it al
most to a man voted against the estab-
lishment of the gold standard.
AS the gold standard Of value was
then ''irrevocably established" not by
the Democratic party, but by the Repub-
lican party, the only gold standard that
the Democratic party can honestly claim
to have ''irrevocably established" is the
gold standard of silence on a subject on
which it never did talk except to lower
itself in the estimation of intelligent peo-
Pile, and to breed apprehension in bust
ness circles.

jected by crafty politicians.

GASSAWAY'S FAvORITE POEM

(Henry GasSaway Davis -avorite poem
is Excelsior. Current note)
The shades of night were falling fast,
When up through West Virginia passed
A youth who held within his hand
A banner with this strange command;
Fork over"
"What seek ye?' cried the ones he met;
ST seek the bar'l I'll find it yet
I'll get that check we want, you bet"
He sang, as Davisward he set
Fork over"
"Try not that task" the maiden cried
But only fruitlessly she sighed,
For he replied: 1--WE need the stuff"
And chorted then in accents gruff:
Fork over"
80, stay, vain YOUTH an old man called,
At such self-confdence appalled,,
''Dost think his name is GiveawayW
The youth sang, through the dying day,
Fork over"
On. on he went, by hill and dale,
Until the night at dawn grew pale,
And then at last, with heart elate,
He murmured to the candidate:
Fork over"
He saw the barrel round and fair
Alas! he saw no bunghole there!
The candidate without his specs
To read the banner did not vex-
Fork over
81 cannot hear a word" he sighed.
''YOu heard when you were notified"
The earnest youth at once replied
And then more vigorously cried:
Fork over
They found him, frozen stiff and cold,
His banner still within his hold
And now they send no strange device,
They simply say: I'VE want the price
Fork over

Benjamin Brown, of Richview, Illinois,
has been somewhat neglectful concerning
his registration as voter Now he has
registered, because he wants to vote for

about this case is that Mr.. Benjamin
Brown is just one hundred years Of age.
But, after all, even this feature is not
remarkable, because no American citi-

than vote for Roosevelt in this campaign.
