"lt Is not perfect. however,' he said,
although IL is the best the world has ever
known II is the best form of government

The people want il TO be and will be what
they make it. IL is easy to prove that il is
not perfect When the democrats are in
power YOU can prove it by any republican
and when the republicans are in power no

began yesterday at the casting of the
ffty-third ballot. There was no change in
the alignment for the several candidates.

of the present hopeless situation. AS the
story is told, the proposition was made to
Col. Colt that both he and Mr.. Wetmore

to elect third man senator. This, it was
argued would be step purely for the
best interests of the party.

Gently and there were 800 girls working
there. I found also that the wages of the

women into the Abreweries, where, she said,
the work among the watts and in the malt
ing rooms was morally injurious to the girl
employees. The young women receive from
$2.75 to $3.50 a week, she asserted, for
long hours and hard labor.
