In all affairs of love men are the
bunglers and women the experts, de-
clares the New York World. Some
men have learned by experience not
to bungle and to follow the woman's
lead. Such men are sails to be sue
cessful in their love affairs. But the
average man when he marries gets a
girl who had decided to marry him.
If she had not decided it would re-
quire more than club to persuade
her, Even among those primitive
savages where the husband has to
run foot race for his wife the diff
ferent speeds of the possible bride
are always noticeable.

CANDIDATE MCGILLIvRAY also thinks
the state doesn't need lawyer for gov
ernor, for he says: The taxpayers of the
state have been promised less taxes be-
cause of reformed methods in the taxing
proposition. Has this been done? Ask
the farmers and laborers of the state
whether their taxes have been lowered
or not. The answer will come quick and
fast-no. We have received back taxes
and some taxes on property not before
fully taxed What should we do with it
create more offices, build more costly
buildings, spend the money extravaganza
ly in state matters, or cut down ex-
penses? The people want results not
theories. We are satisfied that bills
have been paid in the past that no good
business man would have allowed. Prop
ositions have been submitted to the leg
islature that lacked business sense.
Who is responsible for this? Surely not
the business men of the state. In the
light of all the facts, to claim that law
yer, untried in business and legal ability,
should be selected because he is a law
yer, to take charge of the states bust
ness at this time, is unreasonable, unfair
and unrepublican.

The Pure Food law passed by Con
gress during the closing hours Of the
late session turns out to be very sweep
ing measure. It was made so because
the states that have passed such stat
utes have found much difficulty in en-
acting laws that prove effective. 1t was
felt that something more strenuous was
needed to reach the aims intended, and
such measures were accordingly adopt
ed. The law also covers the adultera-
ton of confectionery by the addition OF
mineral substances or liquors or narcot-
les. Foods are held to be adulterated If
any one substance has been mixed with
them to lower their quality, or if any
substances have been substituted for
them, or if any valuable constituent of
the article has been removed. The law
applies alike to all foods and drugs that
come from foreign countries, as we'll as
to those manufactured in the United
States Foods are held to be adulterated
if they contain any substances reducing
or lowering or injuriously affecting their
quality or strength.
