THE BLANKET PRIMARY

Several readers Of the Avalanche
have asked the editor to explain
the blanket primary. 1t may not
be amiss fret to state briefly the
provisions of the law in regard to
primaries as it now is, in order
that we may see the difference be-
tween il and the proposed blanket

Under the law as il now Is ev'

candidate in county will be
counted for him, and he will re-
ceive his pro rata share of the con
vention vote. 10 other words, no
state or district candidate can now
receive the entire convention vote
Of a county unless every ballot IN

The law provides that leach
county in the state or district con-
vention shall be entitled to one
vote for each 800 votes or major
fraction thereof cast for the candi-

party holding the convention at
the last preceding general election.

Under this law the object OF the

He has given dexterous cxplana-
tion as to why there exists but two
Idepartm Of the University: the
Normal School for teachers and the

thrown-as on ether occasions-the
blame on the natives for the non
existence of other departments.
Nothing could be more unjust than
such an accusation.
Here it is we'll known how the law
creating the University came to be
approved, and how bent the congre-
gantes were and how strenuous were
their endeavors to have the Normal
School the first department establis-
he'd.
Studying the text Of the law, it can
be readily conprehended that the
congregantes had no other object and
purpose than to create . new field of
activity for the bureaucracy under
the conditions of ease and comfort
which mark all their Sinecures.
A School for the training of tea
chers and another for experiments in
the science of agriculture, we're two
splendid fields for the activities of
number of imported nullities.
Cur Governor in his remarks reg
arding the Normal School has refe-
rred to it as one of the branches of
the University.
And where are the other branches?
Why this pompous title, board Of
trustees, secretary and treasurer
and an oriental budget, if in reality
there does not exist a university
but only a modest school for the
training of teachers and school Of
agriculture whose success it yet to

BOth G and Odd.

Midway between sentiment and Su-
perstition lies a feminine trait which
cherishes odd little trinkets that seem
to bring luck. That any jeweled bauble
can possibly change the caprlclous
whims of Dame Fortune remains as al
ways, a shadowy possibility. That a
pleasant memory attached to some
small ornament can be constantly re-
called by the treasured trinket is with
out a doubt. So with divided affection
women still cling to the savage luck
charm as closely in 1906 as did their
barbaric sisters whose calendar was the
setting sun.
1t is with the most up-to-date bust
ness women that one finds the most
| novel trinkets. Actresses particularly
wear unusual luck ornaments, and not
| the least fetching of these is a gold
| chain which never leaves the neck OF
a very pretty leading woman in a pop
ular theatrical company. Caught be-
| tween the delicate links at intervals of
two inches are all sorts of semi-pre-
| cious stones as we'll as genuine gems.
Each individual stone represents the
| gift of some good friend who has been
| associated with her in her stage ca
| reer, and the chain already holds
| twenty jewels as well as a souvenir
| pendant gold and enamel brownie with
| diamond eyes. The different stones
| include a rare yellow diamond and
topaz, several oddly shaped water
pearls, and clasping the chain at the
back a large square garnet of richest
hue.
Then there is a very popular teacher
in one of the big cities who has been
at the head of a shorthand school for a
number of years. Her luck souvenir is
a coin waist belt made entirely of ten
cent pieces. 1t was started by her first
class of girls, every one of whom was
devoted to her. When their term was
over, however, their very meagre peck
etbooks would allow the majority of
them to give only ten cents apiece. So
one of their members conceived the
happy idea of having the dimes Joined
in the form of a bracelet, and each
girls initial was scratched on Lib
erty's cap.
AS class followed class, the idea took
root and the ten-link bracelet has
grown to a good sized waist belt with
four rows of coins. Some are thick
and some are thin, and many bear hard
ly a resemblance to the newly minted
dime, but they all carry the initials of
some young pupil to whom the CHEEKY
teacher was an inspiration. and the
coins stand for everything in the world
to their owner. In fact so much a part
Of her has the belt become that she
never thinks of going anywhere with
out 1t. and she sleeps with it under
her pillow at night.
In contrast to this luck charm of

Stoned the Fast Flyer"

At . recent dinner at the White
House, the following story, was told
by one of the guests on Secretary
Taft, who was present, and who, by
the way, tips the scales at beyond the
three-hundred-pound mark:
The Secretary was returning TO
Washington from Chicago aboard b
Fast Flyer" that only stops at large
cities. He had urgent business with
an old acquaintance of his who lived
at a small station about two hundred
miles from Washington, the popula-
ton of which is about five hundred.
He asked the conductor II he could
stop the train for him at that place,
but he replied that it would be impos-
sible for him to do so-that he certain
ly would lose his job if he did. Well,
after much worrying over his disap-
pointment, Mr.. Taft thought OF a
scheme by which he could gain his
end, and when the train next stopped
he sent a message to the superlnten-
dent of the road, saying:
will you stop your Fast Flyer" at
Denizien for a large party on way to
Washington? II SO. instruct conduc-
tor to stop today"
About an hour passed, when the con-
ductor. passing through the train,
stopped at the Secretary's seat and
told him that he would be able to get
off at Denizen as he had been ordered
to stop his train there for a large
party going to Washington. The Sec
rotary smiled, with that childlike ex-
preston of innocence for which he Is
famed, thanked him and settled down
again behind his paper. Two hours
later the porter of the train called
"Denizen. Denizen." much to the sur
prise of the passengers. Mr.. Taft
gathered up his handgrip and started
for the platform Of the car, where he
was standing when the train came to
a dead stop. AS he stepped of the
train there was no one in sight but
the surprised-looking station agent.

friendship Is the luck trinket of a very
attractive young matron of national re-
nown. Five years ago in reply to her
wedding invitation came a tiny white
kid box from a w~ell-known jeweler. 1t
contained two beautiful fancy gold
stock pins. each a perfect imitation
of a peacock feather. The ard en-
closed bore the name of a girl with
whom she had the very slightest ac-
quaintance, but whom she knew TO
have a liking for her future husband.
Undaunted, the bride-to-be immedi-
ately pinned one of these unlucky
feathers on her dress, and from that
day to this she has never been with
out one of the other of them fastenet
somewhere about her costume, Not
long since when this very happy
matron received the wedding invita-
tion of her husbands one-time friend.
he suggested that his wife send a
handsomely mounted rabbits food as
a present. She decided, however, thai
fate had been In the way of this jocu-
lar revenge,
