Yours are crsped on the top and half baked in the

A meeting of those interested in the
oyster industry is to be held at Willis
Wharf to-day for the purpose OF effect
ing an organization looking to their pro-
lection, it is stated, along lines similar
to those in effect in the Produce Elk
change, and concert of action on then
part seems to be as necessary as 1t Is
with the farmers, if they would dispose
of their product to advantage IN the
markets of the country. With the
notion now prevailing in some sections
that oysters are the breeders of al
kinds of diseases the time, indeed, is not
very remote when they must organize,
so as to be able to give the guarantee
required of them, that their oysters are
free from contamination and to brand
them in conformity with the laws wher
they are to be marketed. The time II
fact, is now at hand if they are to be
sold in New York for the oyster people
to have an organization to give the IN
formation as to shipments made there,
required by a resolution recently adopt
ed by the Board of Health of that city,
which as individuals they could not
conveniently furnish. That similar
resolutions will be passed by the Boards
of Health of Boston, Philadelphia, Bal
timore and the other oyster markets OF
the country, of course, is to be eXpec-
ted, and the oyster people in session to-
day must see the necessity for concert
of action on their part at once, if they
would get proper returns for shipments
made by them.
An Oyster Exchange in fact, is
needed for many reasons by our oyster
people. With it they could provide
against the overstocking of any mar
ket with oysters in the same way that
the Produce Exchange does, create
a demand for their stock in being able
to give the guarantee that it would up
to representation, regulate the price of
it by seeing that the supply sent to
market is not greater than the demand
for it and be benefited in many other
ways-especially in being able to IN
fuence legislation as body which they
could not as individuals for the promo
ton of the oyster industry.
Our oysters being free from contain
ination the resolutions adopted by the
Board of Healths of the cities will be
to our benefit and not to our injury, if
we will take steps to have them mar
keted properly. Will our oyster people
make start in that direction in their
meeting of to-day?

A few people of some prominence anC
others, doubtless, influenced by them,
have declared against the primary and
want it abolished. The class to which
they belong is described and the reason
for holding fast to the plan we now
have for nominating candidates is pre-
sented, in very forcible and convincing
way by the News-Leader in the follow
ing:
Machine politicians who can contro
machines but who can not control the
people are anxious, of course, to have
the primary abolished and therefore, dc
all they can to make it unpopular with
the public. Some good people who for
get to think ahead and who looked just
at the surface and the present become
impatient with the workings of the pri-
mary and are disposed to demand re
turn to the old system. On the same
principle many of US become tired to
death of the responsibility and annoy
ance of managing our own affairs and
long for a guardian or somebody who
would undertake the job for US and save
US the worry of thinking and acting for
ourselves. We know, however, that
this is an unmanly and cOwardly spirit
and when it comes to the actual test, if
we be real freemen, prefer indepen-
dence with all its annOyances. The
question between the primary and con-
vention is the question whether we will
continue to be responsible for our own
government and to make and direct it,
or whether we will surrender such work
from our weary and inert hands into
the hands of bosses"

Don't Blame the Cook

If your bread and pastry is the

kind. It's dollars to doughnuts
that the FLOUR is guilty of the
offense.
Our flour makes light, white, de-
licious bread and pastry always.
"Poor Luck" is unknown, where
it rules the cooking. 1t insures
good results because it is uniform
in quality-Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and every day in the
week the BEST.
Candidly, can you afford to go on
using hap-hazard flour when our
mill-to-consumer system puts our
superior product in your home at
less expense?
We cut out the retailers profits.
We sell you flour direct at whole
sale prices. We will save you all
those dollars that the retail dealer
has previously pocketed.

CHINESE TROOPS

Mutiny at Marking Grows Serious and
Foreigners Flee to British
Warship.

Pekin, Nov. 25.--The situation az
Marking, where nmtiny on the part
OF the Chinese troops broke out Nov.
10, is serious. There has been fighting
IN the streets of the city, and pot-
tion OF the foreign residents have taken
refuge on board British gunboat.
Others OF the foreigners elected TO
remain on shore.
This information was conveyed 10
Pekin yesterday in official kilograms to
the legations here. There is also a
German gunboat Oft the city. The Am.
crican residents asked for glinboat
for their protection, but in view of as.
surances given yesterday by Yuan Sni
al, one Of the grand councillors, that
the situation was quiet and the incl
dent of the mutiny closed, this request
was not forwarded.
The war board announced Yesterday
that it had ] 900 troops at Marking
pending the conclusion of the manoen.
vres.
The new government at Marking is
firmly established. and foreigners there
do not entertain fears of an insurrec.
tion. The troops, however, are being
closely watched, for it is feared that
they may follow the example Of the
battery Of artillery and the squadron
Of cavalry that hung out the banner
Of revolt last Thursday.
The native press intimates that the
trouble in Marking can be traced TO OPP
position to the missionaries, but this
charge is without substantiation.

CANNON WOULD RUSH REVISION.
He Is Anxious for Prompt Action So
That Business Can Adjust Itself.

Chicago, Nov. 25,--Joseph G. Cannon
speaker of the House of Representatives
who was in Chicago yesterday, en- route
to Washington, placed himself on record
in favor OF revision OF the tariff in
accordance with the promise OF the Re.
publican party platform and declared
that so far as his vote was concerHed
he would see to it that the announced
policy of revision would be written In
the national laws as soon as possible.
The speaker made this declaration at a
luncheon given to six rear admiras of
the United States navy by Alexander II.
Revell Of Chicago. On the tariff Speaker
Cannon said:
ANY change in the revenue laws of
the country of necessity is followed by
a depression of business. Three years
ago, followed the lead OF Theodore
Roosevelt, who declared there should be
no revision of the revenue laws, which
means the tariff. until after the next
general election. His policy was not TO
change tho existing conditions. The Re
publican platform on which the national
contest has been won, says revise the
revenue Laws. That revision should be
with due regard to protection and pen.
atty against discriminatory nations. As
