"Under the primary law there
will be no caucuses or conventions"
This statement is going the rounds.
It's truth is taken for. granted, we
suppose, but what authority is there
for the statement? Is it in the law
Ifso we would like to see it. If
there is no law against it why
should there be no gathering Of the
clans? Or rather does there exist
any reason for conferences of party
representatives? 1t seems to us that
caucuses and conventions are needed.
How else can we secure agreement
as to policies? Leave the platform
making to the office seekers, to the
candidates for office? Then instead
of the office holders being servants
of the people the people are to be
the servants of the office holders.
We think there should be caucuses
and conventions to give expression
to the will of the people in the ag-
gregate; to establish line of action
in cosonance with the views of the
majority; to harm onize, differences
to determine by enquiry and consul
tation whether avowed candidates
for office are qualified to fill those
offices, whether they are honest, pat
riotic and" orthodox." And we
think there should be some action
taken to limit the number of can't
dates fol An office. With a multiple
ity of candidates the poor-stick is
likely to get the nomination and un-
less under extraordinary conditions
elected to office. We heve seen
how difficult it is to eliminate a
name from the Australian ballot
If an Objectionable man gets his name
on the ballot and the ticket wins he
goes in with the merit of the wor-
thy.

The subject Of canals is engrossing
large attention. The subject is a
very old one. Canals have played a
large part in the industrial economy of
nations. Recently the demand for
deep inland waterways is receiving
the attention of statesmen and
schemes along this line of immense
proportions are being promoted.
The lsthmian Canal suggests to IL
linois and other valley states the
need of ship canal from the Lakes
to the Gulf; Canada proposes one
from the Lakes to the Atlantic !;
France wants one across the PENN
sula of which it is a part. Holland
has highways of canals; China's in
ternal trade is almost exclusively
carried on by waterways, natural
or artificial. Wendell Phillips, in
his great lecture, ."The Lost Arts"
claimed that Egypt had great canals
in the time of the Pharaohs. Tn
confirmation of this statement man
only last week offered for sale to
the Paris Museum of Antiquities a
"fnd''he had recently unearthed in
a tomb of the Pharaohs-the cali
mentary canal' of king, embalmed
four thousand years ago.

A SEASON OF LACE.
Such Charming Little Jackets Are
Offered To-Day-The Various
Styles and Laces.

AS this is a season of lace, the lace
department is of particular interest
Among the many charming novelties
shown are the little lace jackets which
promise to form an important feature
of the seasons toilets. These are
shown in real French and Irish lace,
combined with batiste and hand en-
,broidery, with graceful little quarter
sleeves. Others are in baby Irish and
heavy crochet, with half sleeves and
slashed up the back. The same style
of jacket is shown in their batiste
and '-VaP' combinations. Collars and
chemisettes, with cuffs and half sleeves
to match, in all the fashionable laces,
are another feature of this department,
and there are some beautiful speci-
mems of the new Point d'Auvergne-
One may select from large variety
of beautiful white waists here-and
practically all waists are white this
season. One attractive model was
of accordion plated chiffon, with
handmade German ''VaP' insertion,
three large German medallions form
ing the yope. The short sleeves and
girdle were of white satin. Another
model was 70 all-over net, with imi-
tation Irish insertion and perpendicu-
d
The short sleeves were finished with a
ruff1e of net and the high neck with a
ruching Of German "Val'' A charm
ing china silk waist had tucks and
German ''Val." insertion Stimulating a
bOlero jacket. The sleeves were
trimmed with bands of perpendicular
insertion, with cuff of insertion, and
small ruff1es of china silk.
The summer suits and dress fabrics
show striking predominance of
gray-bride's gray, princess gray and
small black and white stripes, checks
and figures, giving the gray effect. In
the foulards and figured India silks,
which they make a specially of here,
this color seems to be particularly at
tractive.
Gray also appears in hosiery, but
white is the predominating color in
this department, as elsewhere. Lace
hosiery is a leader again, but the en-
broidered hosiery that was in such
demand last season is seen no more,
except in a few special designs. In
the same way, the highly colore
stripes and plaids that were consid-
cred correct in mems hosiery last sea-
son have disappeared, being replaced
by the plain colors and black.

PEAS AND OATS MIXTURE.
A Combination Which Is Highly
Recommended by a Farmer
Who Has Tried It.

At the Michigan farmers institute
roundup Peter Voorhees,, of Pontiac,
gave his experience in growing Can
adam peas and oats together on his
farm last season. He sowed II BUSH
els peas and one bushel oats. He
threshed 46 bushels per acre of the
mixture, one-half of which was peas.
He favors putting in the peas with
a drill and burying them deeply, and
a week later putting in the oats less
deeply. This helps to clean the
ground and gives the crop chance
to grow in balance. If the oats are
sown at the same time as the peas
there is some danger that they will
choke the peas
This experience is just in the line
of what l have been advocating for
years, says Prof. Thomas Shaw, in
Orange Judd Farmer, and it is in
deed refreshing to note this instance
of its correctness at this time, when
men are looking about for protein
and balanced foods as they never did
before, a yield of 46 bushels per acre
of this mixture furnishes grand lot
of food. The man who gets 80 to 40
bushels an acre should be satisfied,
for it will weigh about As pounds to
the bushel and will make a grand
grain food for horses, cattle, sheep and
swine. 1t is virtually in balance and
even though fed freely is not likely
to do harm. 1t makes grand food for
dairy COWS fed green, and furnishes
large yield per acre.
This crop has eminent adaptation
for the northern two-thirds of Michi-
gan and Wisconsin, and for the
northern half of Minnesota and North
Dakota. 1t would also do well in
northern Ohio and New York, and in
certain areas of the New England
states. But nowhere will this mag
nificent mixture grow better than in
| the counties of Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, not distant from the
| lakes The same is true of Ontario.

of spring blossoms, SUCH as crocus,
trailing arbutus o. tulips Tiny ub-

that is over the table; then to each rib
fasten a very small electric light; when
the room is darkened and the lights
turned on the effect is most pleasing.
Serve either a fruit salpicOn of or

TALK ON GOOD ROADS.
Laying Out the Roadbed and Keep
ing It in Repair-Use the
King Drag.

1t is one thing to build good road,
and it is another to keep it in repair
o. W. Mapes gives some important sug-
gestions on the work of building and
repairing roads, as follows: The first
step is to stake out the work, by making
a light furrow on each side of the pro-
posed work, II or IA feet apart If any
part of these first burrows comes with
in the beaten track. where it is hard,
it should be done just after a soaking
rain, either with pillow or the point of
a road machine. Next put the wheel
of the road machine in this light furrow,
hold the point of the blade firmly down
in place, remove every stone which the
point strikes and work down and out,
until enough dirt is secured to bring a
good crown to the center of the road
and good gutter on each side, maxi
ing suitable outlets from all low points
in these cutters. This is only a ques-
ton of applying sufficient team power
and removing all stones that interfere
with making good gutter. On por-
lions of our road this alone will give US
good road with proper care in honing
down after each heavy rain, and rak-
Ing out all loose stones. Other por-
lions will need little gravel or shale
along the crown of the road There
are several hills where this can be Sc
cured requiring only short hauls. 4
cubic yard hauled on 12-foot wagon is
enough for the worst places by dump
ing full load in a place, and in other
places a half or a third of load in 8,
place will finish the crown of the load.
Grading with the machine should not
cost more than S25 per mile, nor draw
ing the gravel on the crown of the road
more than 40 cents per cubic yard. This
makes the cost only 5000 per mile, were
a full load of gravel placed on the crown
of the road all the way.
How about the after-care of such n
road? Here is the secret of success.
When the first rain comes, passing
teams and vehicles will puddle the ma
terial along the crown of the road in
the beaten track, forming hard crust
as it dries, which will be somewhat
rough and uneven. Before it becomes
too dry and hard, hone the surface per-
fectly smooth and true with a lighs
hone, about five or six feet long. Ona

TO ARCTIC.
Mai Hersey, of Weather Bureau at
Milwaukee, to Accompany Wellman
on North Pole Expedition

Milwaukee.-Maj. H. B. Hersey, who
has been assigned to accompany Wal
ter Wellman on his trip to the pole as
meteorologist of the expedition, is the
head of the weather bureau in this
city, and is considered to be one of the
brightest forecasters in the service of
the department. Previously to coming
to Milwaukee he was stationed at
Ithaca, N. Y, where, in addition to his
bureau duties, he was instructor in
climatology in the agricultural depart
ment of Cornell university. When the
Spanish war broke out Maj. Hersey
was stationed IN New Mexico, and left
at once to join the Rough Riders. At
San Antonio he met President Roose-
welt, and owing to his service in the

extended from the Adriatic to the sea
of Greco. Should he carry his sword
that far he will no doubt be styled his
majesty and clap on his head the gor-
geouS crown which his father ordered
but for political reasons has never
worn and for pecuniary reasons has
never paid.
Boris prospects are not of the kind
that are likely to excite envy in Amer
lea. The poor little chap lost his
mother, the eldest daughter of the
duke of Parma, when he was only six
years old. His father has hunted
around Europe a good deal to find a
stepmother for him since then, but all
his overtures have been declined with
thanks. Royal folk with manageable
daughters do not regard a Bulgarian
alliance with favor.
For little Boris own sake it is to be
hoped that he possesses some other
qualities than those which would ena-
BILE him to shine in future life as a
Sunday school superintendent. His
photograph shows him in the brand
new uniform of a lieutenant, which
rank was conferred on him by his
father to commemorate his twelfth
birthday anniversary few weeks ago.
