McKinIey,s Favorite Flower.

Mr.. Mckinley was interested for many
wears In a girls, school in Ohio. When
he was Congressman and governor of
Ohio political meetings often took him

he could

He was a loyal member. and wore the
class flower, a red carnatiOn.
The message of his nomination for
President reached the class during a re-
union. The girls rang the college bell aud
sent a telegram of congratulation and a
box of carnations. Another box of the
class flowers was sent on the day Of Mr.
McKinley's inauguration.
1t may be that this association accounts
for Mr. McKinley's fondness for the RED

ton was appended to 4 letter written by
some prominent person IN reply TO COM

railroad presidents about delays on the
road, TO public officials about abuses in
their system of managing public interests,
to literary men and artists about short

The LittIe RED schoelhouse.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
There was great deal Of superior edu-
cation in the little red schoolhouse. These
modest establishments produced many
great men. They got fine start in real
learning there. and then If they wanted
to be statesmen or learned men, or bust
ness leaders, they hustled for themselves
with their hands and their brains. There
has been wonderful development Of the
school system. The enormously increased
cost leads TO vulgar Dragging, but the i'm
provement in learning has not kept pace
with the outlay. And posterity is born to
hold bags.

twill take time, these things are new,
we want to do right. for the corporations
as we'll as the body polite, but they
will be regulated. But we are not gong
to cut down the apple tree because
some of the fruit is wormy.
At no time has so much wholesome
regulation and legislation been done or
begun as by the congress that has just
adjourned. Under the leadership of
President Roosevelt nearly the whole
time of the session has been taken with
investigation and legislation looking to
the regulation Of great corporate bodies,
of which the railway rate bill, the meat
inspection bill and the pure food laws
and the denaturized alcohol bill are con-
spicuous examples.
The treatment Of public and of per-
sonal diseases is much alike. Some
bodily ailments. however, are without
remedy, but the diseases of the body
polite are always curable. First the
diagnosis and then the remedy. The
diagnosis may be little difficult, it may
be hard to distinguish the exact diff
ference between health and disease un-
der the new conditions, but time and ex-
'perience will tell. and the remedy found.
And then, we will be ready to meet the
other and newer conditions that will GER
tainly follow-if progress continues, as it
certainly will

FORGOT TO COUNT DEMOCRATS.

Editor Hager goes into long discus
sion and comparison Of figures to prove
that good many Republicans voted at
the. primaries. That is true, but cuts no
figure as to the desirability Of the prim-
ary law, for with the same issues before
the party, practically about the same
number would have turned out at the
caucuses.
But what about the primary law and
the Democratic party? Just as certain
that a good many Republicans voted, a
very small number of Democrats didn't
vote. Less than half a dozen men made
the Democratic nominations and 246
Democratic votes were cast, out of near
ly 800 cast in 1904.
Now in former years there has always
been Democratic convention of about
seventy-five delegates, representing eau
cuses Of from five to fifty voters, that
gathered before election and nominated
candidates, often with good fight, and
went home after consultation and agree
ment in good mettle to make battle.
But they haven't particle Of that party
spirit in them this year, and the Re-
publicans have but little.
Those old county conventions did
more than to nominate, they did much
to help TO elect. The convention fight
was always made with the face towards
the common enemy, but the result Of the
primaries is almost invariably for the
benefit Of the minority party. The indi-
vidual voter is not politician, If he
votes against q candidate at the primary
he IS very likely to vote against the same
at the election. But convention fights
were nearly always over when the con
ivention adjourned and everybody turned
in for the ticket as nominated.

As we write. the delegates are gather
ing at the State convention at James
town. Rumor has the ticket all fixed
and that Gov. Sarles and most Of the old
officials will be renominated. However
this may be. if tits true it will be prob
able that the ''insurgent" fight has made
it so, as the fight has been directed so
personally against these officials that the
endorsement of another term would be
the natural consequence Of the success Of
the regulars.
