Practically Official Vote Given -wha
Will Be In Second Race.

Columbia, Special.-With reports
from every county, nearly all Of which
arc official and the balance complete
with Few exceptions 1t is shown that
nearly 100000 votes were cast in the
Democratic primary on Tuesday.
The county committees met to tab
slate the votes and in few instances
changes we're made in the results as
reported the day before. 1t is certain
that Lyon and Ragsdale will be in
the second race for attorney general,
Lyon lacking less than $500 of ma
jority and having a lead of nearly
10000 votes over his competitor. The
large vote for General Youmans sur
prised the politicians, who all SEEM
ed to think that the race was between
the two younger men exclusively.
In the race for governor it has
been certain ever since the first night
that Ansel and Manning would be in
the second and the only thing want
ing has been the total vote of each,
Ansel has been more than his near
est two competitors, Manning and
Blease, -and goes into the second race
with a lead Of 1854 over Manning.
He hag received even more votes
than were given Governor Hayward
in his phenomenal first race four
years ago, $4,000.

elected by over 5000 majority over
G.. L. Walker.

North Dakota Solves the Adultera.
tion Problem.

North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, Glow shall
we protect the people from frauds In
manufactured products2 plan
which is applicable to foods, bever-
ages, materials used in the arts, etc,
A new law has recently gone into ef-
feet designed to make it impossible
to deceive people into buying inferior
and adulterated paint under the i'm
preston that they are getting real
paint, VIZ. pure white lead and lin
seed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit
the inferior pigments, or mixtures OF
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
"Let the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, if any one wishes
to buy mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads" no one can
object; for they do 1t with their eyes
open. But IL they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure Of getting 1t, for none but
the genuine article can bear label
which says "2ure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little-sometimes no-real
white lead.
It would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave US free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect US from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want.

President Roosevelt Converted
10 the NeV.StyIe Spelling
List of 800 Words That Hereafter In All Messages and
Documents From the White House VIII Be Printed
According to the Recommendation Of
the Matthews Committee.

President Roosevelt announced his
conversion to the spelling reform
movement. He has issued orders to
Public Printer Stillings that all mess
ages from the President and all other
documents coming from the White
House shall be printed in accordance
with the recommendations of the
spelling reform committee headed by
Professor Brander Matthews, Of Col
umbia. and backed by Andrew Car
negie.
Spelling reform had its greatest
impetus when Andrew Carnegie
made an offer to finance it. For
many years professors and others
have been laboring to have the public
accept reforms in the spelling of GER
tain words. The public, while admit
ting that the existing spelling is
pathological monstrosity, rei sed to
take kindly to the suggested changes.
When Andrew Carnegie announced
himself as a convert to the reform
the matter was discussed more than
at any time within the past 100 years.
Mark Twain promised to take it up
after Mr.. Carnegie had announced
his conversion and had agreed to
finance the organization of reformers
calling themselves the simplified
Spelling Board, of which Brander
Matthews is the president of the Ex-
ecutive Board.
This board announced at the be-
ginning that it did not propose any
radical or revolutionary scheme of
reform, but simply wanted to make
easy the spelling of certain words. 1t
selected 800 words which it asked
the public to accept.
Following is the list of 800 words
already given out by the Simplified
Spelling Board in which changes are
,propoSed:

From clyde Fiteh's scr.pbook.

Clyde Fitch, at a dinner that he
gave in honor of a noted dramatic
critic, read from his library of scrap
books a western criticism on Hamlet.
The criticism, which was dated 1873,
ran:
There is too much Ginning in this
piece. The author is behind the times,
and seems to forget that what we
want nowadays is hair raising situa-
tons and detectives
In the hands of a skil1ful play
wright a detective would have been
put upon the track of Hamlet's uncle
and the old man would have been
hunted down in a manner that would
have lifted the audience out of their
cowhides.
THE moral of the piece is not good.
The scene where Hamlet sasses his
mother is bad example to the rising
generation.
"Our advice to the author is more
action, more love-making, and plenty
of specialties. The crazy girl scene
should be cut out altogether and a rat
thing good song and dance substitute

WHY EVERYBODY LIKES SAND.
Love of it Is Universal and Is Felt at
All Ages.

The love of sand is universal, felt
by all, and at all ages The child finds
in it a ready and plentiful material
for giving something of definiteness
to the world of his imagination, and
when experience shall have proved
the real world to be less pleasant and
not expressible in sand he neverthe-
less as a grown man tacitly admits
the attraction of the old-time medium
and spends his holidays upon it. No
watering place need trouble as to its
prosperity if it has a broad forefront
of sand.
Probably so general and ingrained
love is only to be accounted for as
the result of a sympathetic and I'M
conscious barking back to the feel
of the life on the dry sandy soils of
the east, upon which man first wan
dered and in which he first delved,
says the London Spectator. He can
sit or lie with greater comfort and
ease-as he originally sat, without a
chair or lay with out couch-upon
sand than upon any other kind of
earth and upon sand he reverts read
lily and without fear of convention to
primeval barefootedness- Possibly
even the charm of the "sanded floor"
in the concrete to our forefathers,
the comfort and coziness of CHEEKY inn
parlors and kitchens warm with the
ruddy heat of glowing logs on snowy
nights-may also be due to vaguely
assertive instinct.
In proof it may be readily conclud-
ed that far distant man would not
have been long in finding out the ad-
vantages of a dry cave as a dwelling
place. 1t would be found most readily
in soft, friable rocks. The natural
and further easy expansion of the
cave to meet growing demands for
house room by scraping down of roof
and sides would result in a Sanded
floor. Litter of rude cave living and
housekeeping could be more easily
swept out with the leafy bough OF
bunch of edges acting as the original
broom when mixed with sand than
without it's aid. The savage family
which swept the cave out oftenest
and most thoroughly would certainly
be the healthiest and strongest.
