REPUBLICAN MISRULE.
II. We srraign the republican par
ty in this state for its wasteful extr' v
agance its corrupt AMI fraudulent ust
of machinery OF elections, TO the end
that it might be perpetuated in power
at the taxpayers expense. 1t has in
creased the burdens of government
and, though the acts OF its venal place
men, has corrupted the ballot and
lesseried respect for our institutions
We demand the correction of these
practices and-the restoration OF our
politics to decent plane, to the end
that neither ourselves nor our poster
ity shall be deprived of the blessings
Of an honest, popular government.
REGISTRATION.
III. We believe that honest and
efficient government can only be Sc
cured and maintained by combining the
right OF suffrage strictly to the legal
and bona fde citizens OF our State,
and we believe that the strictest legis-
lation should be enacted to oonfine TIE
right of suffrage 10 this class. And
we especially denounce the action OF
the states repu blicau executive ard
its legislative majority in disregard
ing the mandatory and clearly ex-
pressed will ofthe people, announced
By the adoption almost two years ago
Of a constitutional amendment requir-
ing the Legislature to enact regis
tfation Law which would prevent lille
gal voting. That such disregard was
log The purpose Of continuing their
party in power by means of venal
corrupt and illegal voters is rendered
the more couspic,ous by the fact that
the legislature has, stree the adop-
ton OF such amenement convened in
regular Sc ion without the enactment
of such a law and has also been

enactment Of laws creating independ-
men, school districts and other laws
OF relatively far less importance thanr
the securi ng OF honest elections by
the legal citizens and voters of on
state, but falling TO provide tor the
enactment of a registration law
We declare that the crying evil in
our state and the greatest menace to
the civic veal is the debauchery Of
the ballot by means af repeating and

systematically carried ON in MANY
counties OF the state by ring of cor

arranged a flower show. The expert |
ment met with SO cordial a reception |
and made so pleasant an impression
that the demand for a repetition of
the show has been pressing. Accord
ingly, j ourna has completed
the general plans for a second mid
summer flower show on larger scale.
The same general plan will be fol-
lowed, with numerous improvements
suggested by experience.
The announcement is made Just at
the beginning of the gardening season
as a reminder to the gardeners to have
the show in mind in making their
garden plans. Last year many were
unfamiliar with conditions and incen-
tives until too late to provide suit
able material for the exhibition. The
premium lists this year will be much
more comprehensive than last and will
give an opportunity to display all
kinds Of ANNALS and perennials, so
that all Of the garden favorites will
be of use to the exhibitors in making
up their collections.
One of the valuable lessons taught
by the show last year was that guam
tity stands no chance against quality
and the tiniest garden can quite as
readily furnish prize winning speci-
mems as the most pretentious estab-
lishment. The winner of the chief
! prize for sweet peas had but a small
| hedge that was stripped to supply the
| blossoms. The varieties had been
| carefully selected and the vines given
good care, with gratifying results.
There should be no delay in plant
| ing sweet peas, but it is not yet too
| late. A few fine varieties will give
better results than many carelessly
planted with no attention paid to la
own favorites but for the benefit of
inexperienced planters it may be sug-
| gested that among those making a
fine showing last year were Lady Girl
! eel Hamilton and Countess of Radnor
in mauve; Apple Blossom and Tri-
umph, delicate pink; Mrs. Willmett
brilliant pink; Lady Penzance, car
mine; Prince of Wales, cerise; India
King, purple; Captain of the Blues
dark blue; Monarch, maroon; the
fashioned pink and white is in
dispensable and a good white is de-
sirable.,
Among the flowers that make fine
showing are dahlias, nasturtiums
zinnias, scabiosa, marigolds, asters
and gladioli. Less snowy flowers
/ Competition will induce many to
plan to exhibit, but many Others will
send flowers solely for the purpose Of
making contributions to the lovely
effect of the great show. The beau
ties Of the flowers will be shown to
greater advantage this year, enhanc-
ing the pleasure of the mere specta-
tor.
The details of the show, now being
carefully worked out by Henry L.
Patthey, manager of last years sweet
pea show, will be announced soon.
Among the important features ar
ranged is the securing of prominent
and expert judge of flowers to super
intend the judging. The competi-
tons will be open only to amateur
growers.
The flowers themselves will be the
chief attraction, but social features
music and refreshments, will add to
the pleasure of the visitors.

Socrates called beauty q short-lived

none Of these distinguished authorities
has left as even hint Of how beauty
is to be perpetuated, or the ravages OF
