URGES VOTERS TO ENROLL.
Governor Warner Sends Out Circu
lars Giving instructions.

At his own expense, Gov. Warner
will soon send broadcast over the state
10000 copies of a circular giving sue
Gent instructions to voters under the
new primary election law. With these
will be sent enrolment slips to facili-
tate enrolment on election day, a duty
that is to be performed by every voter
If he wishes to take part in any pri-
mary nominations. OF these, 5000
will be printed.
The governors circular reads as fol-
lows:
An enrolment clerk will be with
every election board in the state on
election day, April 9, to receive the
names of all voters who apply for en-
rollment. You I'm enroll on that day,
giving the clerk the necessary infor
nation verbally, or handing him an
enrolment slip containing the desired
information. This enrolment answers
for all time unless you remove to an
other election precinct or desire to
change your party affiliations, and the
one enrolment allows you to vote on
all questions submitted at any time
under the new primary law; also al
lows you 10 vote on the nomination of
candidates for the Offices of governor
and acknowledgement, members of
congress, county officers and members
Of the legislature in counties and dis
tricts where that system has been
adopted; also gives you the right to
sign petitions for the submission Of the
direct voting system, or to the print
ing of the name Of your choice of cam
didates on the primary ballot. The en-
rollment in no way interferes with the
right of citizen to vote at the regular
election for any candidate on the ticket
he desires, but is intended to prevent
fraud and fraudulent voting at all pri
mary elections under the new law.
So do not fail to enroll ON Monday,
April 2.
A petition signed by enrolled voters
representing one-fifth of the voters of
their party is required to be filed with
the county clerk before May 18th this
year, in order to have the question sub
mitted at the June II primary election
changing to the direct voting plan of
nominating officers. If a petition from
the necessary number is so filed you
will vote at the June ~ primary cleo
tion on the question of direct nomina
tions AT the same June primary cleo
ton you vote direct by marking a cross
before your choice of the candidates
for governor and acknowledgement,
and also vote on the question of con-
tinuing the same system of nominating
those two officers for the future. You
also elect at the same primary election
the number of delegates which your
precinct is entitled to in the county con-
vention to elect delegates to the state
convention called for the purpose of
nominating the balance of the state
ticket.
This change entirely does away with
all early or so-called "snap" caucuses
or county conventions. This June 18th
primary is under the Australian sys
tenn of voting and the regular election
board in all districts.

Properly Boiled Meat.

To boil meat so as to retain the juices
and soluble salts and yet cook 1t suf-
ficlently 1t should be plunged into boil
ing water and boiled rapidly for about
ten minutes. After this fast cooking
the kettle must be pushed over to the
back of the fire, where It's contents will
simmer gently. This tends to coagu-
late the outer rind Of the meat so that
the juices cannot escape. If meat is
treated in this manner the inside will
be found juicy and tender, but If the
meat Is allowed to boil it will be found
hard and chippy, the goodness having
all boiled ont of It,

West Haven Farmers Club.

The March meeting of the West
Haven farmers club was held at the
spacious home of Mr.. and Mrs. r.
Wiedman on the II, where about
seventy club members and friends
spent very enjoyable day.
The meeting was called to order at
eleven o'clock by the president. After
song and prayer, roll call was re-
sponded to by quotations.
Sickness prevented the attendance
of the only absent family.
Dinner was announced and we adj
journed to partake of the bountiful
meal which our hostess had provided,
and to enjoy the instrumental music
furnished by Miss Day and her pu-
pills.
After dinner, the club was called
to order and the discussion of the
first subject: "Can we live or rise
above our environments? was led
by Mr.. OFT.
Miss Hill read character sketch
of Paul Laurence Dunbar.
Quite a lively discussion of the
railroad rate bill followed. Mr..
Thierman thinks that it is perfectly
right that the wholesale shipper
should have a rebate, enabling him to
ship his goods cheaper than the man
who only occasionally ships a small
amount of goods. Others differed
with him thinking that the rates
should be uniform.
Mrs. Beswick read an interesting
selection entitled, "Our Homes"
Mr.. and Mrs. Myers, of Charlotte,
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Wiedman,
ers gave a humorous recitation, in
which she gave Hesekiah Bruce
severe scolding and told him if he
would "chaw terbacker,, he ''must
swaller all the juice"
REGULATIONS by Ruby Nelson and
Harold Hubert, a duet and instru-
mental music completed the pro-
gram.
A rising vote of thanks was tend
cred our host and hostess for our en-
tertainment, and we adjourned to
meet the third Saturday in April with
our president, Mr.. OFT.
The following topics interspersed
with music and recitations, will form
the program of the next meeting:
"The fence-post question-Shall
we plant locust, Usage or catalpa for
the future, or depend upon making
cement posts on the farm premises?"
led by Mr. Gassman.
''Why do not the farmers care for
their poultry as we'll as the other
stock of the farm; and how can the
home flock of hens be best handled
on the farm premises?" Mr.. HILL

broad and worthy success which Is
worth while. We personally know that
both these men were asked to take
places on the program for the reason
Of the evident successes they had won
and the ability that they had shown,
with no thought or knowledge, at the
time. that they had been in any way
connected in business. The fact de-
veloped THAT Mr.. Adler had been the
pupil and protege Of Mr.. Lee and this
only serves to strengthen faith in the
reliability of the system advocated by
both. What Mr.. Lee had thought and
practiced, his pupil had tested with
wonderful success, and presented with
most instructive force and detail. The
two papers should be read and re-read
carefully and conscientiously studied
until the kindly thoughtfulness toward
and interest in employees, the system
and cooperation, taught therein, be-
come the guiding. controlling forces
and incentives in every newspaper and
printing office. No man can worthily,
usefully or successfully live to himself
alone in this world, much less can he
win in the newspaper business without
the hearty cooperation of others, with
out the firm bonds of sympathy and
mutual consideration, confidence and
trust and reliance between all the
workers, superintendent, managers
and directors of the different depart
ments. There must be system. but
system, without honest, loyal, interest
ed cooperation and good feeling, will
avail but very little.

MORE CURRENCY.

Speaking of the increase of the cur
rency of the country the Minneapolis
Tribune says that the most important
effect Of the increase Of the public debt
by the sale of Panama bonds will be
the increase Of national bank circula-
ton. Nearly all the new government
bonds issued perform this function.
The public debt was increased $2,000,-
100000 in the Spanish war. The ma
tional bank circulation has increased
nearly $zi00O0,o0O since 1898, num-
Der Of old bonds bearing higher rate
having been refunded about the time
of the new issue.
This is about one-third Of the total
increase Of money in the country in the
eight years, most of the rest being
gold" says the Tribune. '"The silver
bars have all been coined into dollars
and subsidiary coins and most Of them
put in circulation in the shape of GER
tificates The old Sherman notes have
disappeared. The old greenbacks, Of
course, remain the same. Free gold
and certificates have increased nearly
half million, most Of the increase be-
ing.in circulation.
1.-THE elastic part of our currency,
therefore, is gold and national bank
notes. One has increased more than
fifty per cent and the other more than
double in response to the demand Of
increased business"

THE RUSSIAN ARMY.

For several days there have been
rumors that the Emperor Of Russia
was seriously alarmed at the evident
spreading of the revolutionary spirit
among the troops. Mutinies became
an almost daily occurrence and while
they we're mostly small affairs and
failed to result in any general disturb
ance they indicate a growing unrest
among the soldiers Then came the
bold action of the Gears Own" regi-
ment in adopting resolutions express
Ing sympathy with the Douma, and re-
fusing to go on police duty where they
would be required to kill their fathers
and brothers. The car has at last
taken notice of the disaffection in the
army and has publicly issued orders to
the commander Of the forces in the
military district of st. Petersburg to
take steps to stop the disorders" and
at the same time dismissed several Of
ficers in disgrace.
1t Is not surprising that the emperor
and the entire autocracy views with
grave alarm the disaffection in the
army. Military allegiance is the bull
wark of the Russian government.
Without its large army, strictly loyal
to the government, the present form Of
government would soon be thing of
the past Even now 1t seems to be tot
tering on the brink 1t looks as If the
soldier was finally beginning to realize
that his interests and those of the
peasant are one and the same Contin-
ued mutterings in the army will mean
more liberal reforms in behalf of the
people than any yet conceded. And If
the soldiers are really aroused, the
courtmartialing or dismissing of few
officers in disgrace, will not stem the
tide

enough to do all the chopping and
spades enough to do all the digging
that we have to do it would not make
the country richer Of more prosperous
to double the number OF axes and
spades. The same is true as to money
except that doubling the quantity Of
money would be not merely useless but
positively mischievous because the adj
ded quantity finds use through the in
fation Of prices-unequal imitation, en-
riching the producers of some things
and impoverishing the producers of
other things.
AS to the second suggestion, it can
not be entertained without hopeless
confusion of thought, Two metals vary

OF value any more than two springs of
varying elasticity can both be one
standard of weight Such a proposition
as that two unequally variable things
can be one standard Is simply unthink.

IOWA INSURANCE LAWS.

Iowans are glad to learn that the in
vestigating commission appointed at
the last session of the legislature has
found no evidences of fraud In the
methods of the insurance companies Of
the state. The commission has been
busy and is making thorough inquiry.
AS result of their labors it is expect
ed that several changes will be recon-
mended in the insurance laws of the
state. Among these are:
Compulsory annual distribution Of
dividends, uniform policies, empower
ing the governor to appoint two direc-
tors of each company, creation of a
regular insurance department. compul-
sorry publication of proceedings Of the
board Of directors, statement of ex-
penses and list of salaries as we'll as
the yearly gain or loss.
The demand for regular Insurance
department with a head to be appoint
ed by the governor and to hold Office
till removed for cause is generally de-
manded by insurance companies who
have had representatives before the
commission.
The one question back of the recon-
mendation of such an appointment is
what body shall be designated as the
court of appeal for insurance COM
panies In case they object to the ruling
of the department? Some insurance
presidents have recommended the
board of control, while the commits
sioners have suggested the courts. In
surance men object to the courts, as it
requires too long to get an adjudica-
ton. Commissioner Kendall suggests
that the appeal be on the basis of an
injunction proceeding and subject to
immediate review.
In fact, the question Is the first to
divide the board. Tim Clary, Of New
Hampton, is favorably impressed with
the question. Chairman Jamison stat.
ed at a meeting of the commission that
he was favorably impressed at first but
upon more mature reflection believed
he was opposed to 1t. He declares the
theory is wrong which empowers the
state to appoint guardians over the
business of any corporation or individ-
ual
The sentiment of the commission
seems to be favorable to law requir.
ing uniform policies in the state. In
this requirement 1t wishes to provide
for issuance of four uniform policies
the limited, limited payment, ordinary
and endowment. In connection with
this 1t would require annual distribu-
ton of dividends. 1t seems to believe
this is the best for the policy holder,
as where he secures annual dividends
he gets this much out at last, and
where he allows accumulations he
loses it all in case OF lapse. Such a
requirement, it is acknowledged, would
materially reduce the surplus of the
companies in this state.

HAS BEEN ApJUplcATED.

The right of the state central com.
mittee to prepare temporary roll and
to take such action as may be deemed
necessary in regard to the preliminary
procedure of state political conven
ton, has been adjudicated by the
courts. In Wisconsin the courts sus-
tanned the legality and regularity of the
action of the state central committee
in the so-called LaFollette convention,
and this decision establishes the fact
that by law the central committee OF
any political body is the governing
power of that body and the members
of such organization are bound by the
action of the majority of such commit
tee. In the rendering of this decision
the supreme court Of Wisconsin cited
with approval the case of State VS.

committee of any political organiza
ton and Of the power Of majority OF

JULES BRETON.

Jules Breton, the famous genre
painter, died in Paris Thursday. He
contributed several famous canvases
to the field of art and a number of
these are now in America.
Breton was born in 1927 at Cour-
rieres, France He studied painting
under Drelling, and became recognized
as one Of the most representative of
the Barbizan school of art, expressing
in the highest degree those character
istics aimed at by the notable group
Of which Millet was the head.
Practically all of Breton's paintings
depict scenes in which the rural peo-
pie among whom he lived and worked
are characterized in their daily GUS
toms and aWocations. Among the most
