BIRD ON PRIMARY ELECTION
Attorney General Discusses Some OF the De
feets In Present Law

I'VE have not passed beyond the ex.
detrimental stage in the primary cleo.
ton system that is the main cause OF
trouble, said Attorney General Bird
1T makes no difference what some
think of the system. as individuals we
may as well make up our minds TO &C
cept the fact that the system has come
to stay. The faults which have cropped
out at the recent primary can easily be
corrected and the law made better in
every way, just as il was improved
two years ago. IL is as an old Virgin
ian said to me when | asked him how
he liked the primary reform system
Well, don't jes know, but reckon
1t gives all us fellers a leettle better
chance than the old way, ne replied.
The principal defect found in the
system In the election lust passed has
been the participation by Democrats
in the Republican primary. Unques-
tionably this was done In an extensive
way IN some sections. The law must
be so amended as to require an enroll !
ment in April in order to vote at the
primary in September. An early en-
rollment will do away with this swan |
ping of parties at the time OF a prim-
AIRY. In April the lines nave not been
drawn so that the members of one
party will wish TO vote at the primar.
es OF the other unless they are going
over For good. One much needed
'hange is'a provision making II man.
iatory for all parties to..make nomina-
ions at primaries. !
Judging from our experiences. III
hould say that the system would
'etter be made optional for counties.
mt If the system is adopted in any
ounty it should be mandatory on all
arties. This might be accomplished

KETTLE AND POT

The political articles that have ap-
peared In several Of the upper PENN.
sula papers relative to the blame for
the present mix-up over governor are
famous more for their unfairness than
from the news they convey. They are
all suspiciously alike in contents and a
studied effort throughout the article is
made TO predjuice the mind against
the supporters of DR.. Bradley because
of the recount and put all the blame
for present conditions up to the Doctor
and his advisers
Now. we were for DR. Bradley just
as hard as we could be but we are not
so blind in our craftsmanship or so per-
verse In our practice as to try to put
all the blame upon the other fellow.
The truth is that one side to this affair
Is just as reprehensible as the ether.
One side is just as deep in the mud of
intrigue as the other is in the mire.
The contest is purely one of faction
and the republican party and the state
OF Michigan can 20 TO the eternal bow
vows so far as either faction is con-
cerned II they can only predominant
and perpetuate themselves in Office.
While it is undoubtedly an impos.
sible end to accomplish yet ii would
DO TO the general welfare of the repub-
lican party IL both sides to the contro-
versy could be set aside and third
party without any 'entangling allan
ces' substituted. Such, however
seems to be practical impossibility
and the sooner the two factions are
allowed free reign to grind themselves
to pieces the better for all.

Flat Fish for Low Water.

Carnegie lake" still continues to be
a source of interest both to the stu
dent body and the townfolk Of Prince
ton. Discussion never wanes as to the
advisablity of the college going in 1oI
rowing, sport in which it may event
ually hope to vie with the crews thai
row on the Thames or the Hudson
But lately new suggestion has been
made in the university town as to the
wisdom of the plan of stocking the
sheet of water with fish. Now, it must
be known that the new lake is ex'
trsmely shallow, it's greatest depth be-
ing less than four feet. When the
matter of piscatoFial interest was first
under discussion, one undergraduate
almost put the subject to death by re
marking:
well, if they must put fish in the
lake they will have to limit the kind
to founders. Any other sort Of fish
would either scrape themselves to
death on the bottom or get sunburnt
on their backs"

FORTUNE TELLERs IN EGYPT
Found Everywhere, But Luxor Seems
Their Natural Home.

Everywhere in Egypt one will find
fortune tellers, but no city boasts
more for it's size than Luxor. Those
who read the future with sand are in
the majority. They sit cross-legged
on the ground and mutter prelimin-
airy jargon Finally they lift up the
sand, and as it triclles through their
fingers they claim to see the life Of
their patron revealed. AS none Of
the prognosticators speak English, and
it falls to the lot of the dragoman
to translate, it is difficult to place the
credit of shrewd guessing where it be-
longs. At Luxor, as in all cities along
the Nile, water for domestic purposes
is carried from the river by the
women and young girls, and no more
interesting phase of everyday life is
seen in Egypt. than the evening process
sion of trailing robed figures, many
Of which now carry large Standard
Oil cans instead of picturesque jars
upon their heads. The hotels at Luxor
are all situated on the river bank
within a few yards of the water, and
it Is the delight of the guests to sit
on the broad verandas and watch the
natives who bring up water to irrigate
the lawns and to sprinkle the dusty
ads.-Harriet Quimby, in Leslies

Bride in the Country.

If you want information on the
spread of the bridge whist craze" said
the exile from Vermont, "just borrow
some country papers from people who
still banker after home news, and
look over the society notes. The cor.
respondence from the most sparsely
settled four corners is composed
largely of bridge items. This change
in the tone of the social gossip in
country papers is the growth of the
last few months. A year ago the
weekly letters from tiny villages still
spoke of old-fashioned parties, quilt
ings, and missionary meetings. Now,
when Mrs. John Smith entertains, her
guests play bridge. To any one who
knows these primitive hamlets the
echoes of metropolitan customs sound
ludicrous. Imagine the dear, prim
ladies whose social gatherings have
been devoted to fashioning flannel gar
ments for the heather these many
years, now scrapping over bridge. But
Notwithstanding the incongruity of the
fad the news of it's prevalence ought
to bring to the devotees of the game,
which, according to present reports,
threatens to become our national pas

ARTIFICIAL HONEY is COMING.
German Laboratory Sends Out Formu'
la for Its Production.

From one OF those amazing German
laboratories which produce everything
from tanbark to turquoise has come
formula for the making of artificial
honey. 1t is tossed into the lap of the
world without price, take 1t or leave it:
We might as we'll resign ourselves
to the coming of the day when the
honey which lubricates the breakfast
biscuits shall come from a red fac
tory In the suburbs, guiltless of loot
from the busy little bee and utter
stranger to every opening flower.
The crusher of tartaric acid may In
one shovelful duplicate the task at
which a thousand bees toiled for 40
days. The fame under the evaporator
may replace sun and dew and the
wind at morn. There will be no test
by anything so uncertain as the
tongue. The housewife will have no
dread lest faint of chestnut, aspara
gus or onions come with her from the
grocery. The food inspector will re
lieve her of this fear. He will see that
the honey has fine, golden color, that
it has specific gravity of 1.37 ano
that the picture of the bee on the label
is not an admission that some dis
reputable little insect had something
to do with its manufacture.

PUSHED liza POWER TOO FAR.
Young Lady's silly Insistence Cost
Her Wealthy Husband.

Wilbraham Bootle, young English
man, handsome, clever, of high social
position and immensely rich, fell in
love with Miss Taylor, who could
bring her husband nothing but her
pretty face. Wilbraham Bootle, how
ever, aspired to obtain her hand, and
easily obtained her consent. The
marriage day had been fixed. At
great dinner at Lord Camelford's the
conversation turned upon an ascent
that had been made in the morning
to the cross upon the dome of St.
Peters. To reach the cross it was
necessary to pass outside the hall.
Wilbraham Bootle said that he did not
possess a steady head, would never
be able to reach the cross, and that
nothing In the world would induce him
to try.
Nothing in the world?" said Miss
Taylor.

Excuse me, | do ask you, beg OF
you, and, II necessary, insist"
Wilbraham Bootie attempted to
laugh the matter off, but Miss Taylor
insisted, Notwithstanding the inter
ference of Lord Camelford.
The whole company met two days
following at St. Peters to watch the
performance Of the task imposed upon
the young man. He performed his
trial with great GOODNESS, and when he
came down the triumphant beauty
came toward him with outstretched
hand; he took her hand, kissed it,, and
said: Miss Taylor, have obeyed the
whim of charming girl. Permit me
now in return to give you a piece OF
advice: If you wish to keep your
power never misuse it. wish you all
prosperity, and now good-by."
