the outcome will be for the republican

KEEFE GETS REWARD

Mr.. ID. J. Kccfc. head of a LOngshorc-
mans union and recently a vice presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, has been appointed commissioner
of immigration by President Roosevelt.
We should like to cite few bits of
recent history bearing on this appoint
ment. says the Denver News.
After the platforms of the two parties
were adopted, the American Federation
decided to support the democratic
national ticket. Mr.. keefn WAS Il
member of the council which reached
that decision, and he acquieSccd in it.
There was not IL dissenting vote.
Later on in the campaign Mr.. Kccfe
changed his attitude, and came out for
Taft.
The democratic campaign managers
made the charge that this change was
due to corrupt motives. They charged
that on Il certain day Mr.. Kcefe visited
the White HOUSE. and was promised
the appointment rs commissioner of
immigration if he would break away
from his fellows i'm the federation. vote
for Taft, and cndeavor to divide the
labor vote.
Mr.. Roosevelt made his usual answer
to such charges. He issued Il statement
branding the charge as ~ lie, and the
men who made it rs liars.
Mr.. Keefo went on record as saying
that during his White House visit pol
iticS was not even mentioned. He also
continued to work for Taft. and to
hiscrcdit Mr.. Gompcrs and the fedora
ton as much as posSiblc
And now, after The campaign is over,
Mr.. Roosevelt gives Mr.. Kcefc the very
appointment which the democrats
chargcd he would give.
In view of these remarkable events,
The News has two questions to ask:
Question No. I What is the moral
difference between blying Il mans
political support with II federal office
and buying it with money: There is
IL financial difference because when YOU
buy with money you pay the bills your
self, and when yOu buy with Office the
nation pays them, But what is the
moral difference?
Question No. 2-.Who is the liar?

USING UP COLD VEGETABLES.
Appetizing Dishes Can Be PREPARED
from Left-Overs.

Cold vegetables should never be
thrown away. They can be used in a
number of appetizing ways. For exam
pie they may be rubbed through a
sieve and used for thickening SOUP.
POTATOES mashed very finely, or
ruDDed through a wire sieve, so that
lhere can be no hard Jumps, can be
used In such variety of ways.
MIX a little we'll beaten egg and
milk with them and pepper and salt
10 flavor, and a little grated cheese,
and bake in we'll creased pie dish
In fairly hot oven. Mixed with the
beaten egg only, into a stiff paste,
they can be formed into balls covered
with egg and bread crumbs, and eth
er baked on tin in the oven or fried
I'LL golden brown, and so make a
most appetizing looking dish. Some
tlmes cheese may be mixed with the
bread crumbs in which they are dipped
before baking.
Surprising there is so little as to
seem hardly worth saving, mix what
is left with an equal quantity of
noU. add little baking powder and
enough milk to make into a paste,
form into fiat cakes and bake to a del
lcate brown. Buttered and served hot
they are not to be beaten.
New potatoes and carrots can both
be sliced and santed. They are de-
licious, and the green of the parsley
that Is sprinkled over them after cook
ing makes pretty looking dish.

To Rid a House of Flies,

A good way to rid your house Of
flies is 10 mix in small watering pot
equal parts of crude petroleum, or if
that is not attainable use kerosene,
and sprinkle all outhouses, barns, gar
bage piles or drains with the mixture.
Then sprinkle the window stills and
wipe off the netting on your screens
with cloth wet with kerosene. and
you will soon see the flies disappear.
This. too, will prevent you with being
bothered with mosquitoes, which are
so troublesome this year.
DO this quite often during the sum-
mer months, say two or three times a
week
The kerosene not only drives the
flies away, but when the places where
they breed are sprinkled the eggs will
be destroyed and the household will
be saved from this miserable pest.
This method has been tried and
found to be excellent.

STOP soUEAIHNe OF HINGES.
Application of Kerosene OIL Does
Away with Annoyance.

The noises of squeaky hinges may
be stopped by putting on kerosene oil.
Brass beds may be kept in condition
by rubbing them once or twice a
month with olive OIL The oil should
be put on with soft flannel cloth and
rubbed off almost Immediately with
cheesecloth.
To destroy flies use the following:
Infusion Of quassia,, one pint; brown
sugar, four ounces; ground pepper,
two ounces. Mix this we'll together
and put in shallow dishes when re-
quired.
TO destroy flies in a room take
half teaspoonful of black pepper in
powder, one teaspoonful OF cream,
mix we'll together Place them in room
on plate where flies are troublesome
and they will soon disappear.
When washing floors or cleaning
windows always put few drops Of
paraffin in the water, and this will
keep away flies, moths, and other in.

TO commemorate the national defense

his saddle the body of color bearer
Who yet clasps in his arms his broken

On the eve of the unveiling the mu-

mayor, repaired to the foot of the
statue to examine and see if it should
ne accepted.
Are you not going to tear off this
green mold?" asked the mayor of the
sculptor.
But, monsieur" replied the sculp

have it secured. That must be cleaned

But, monsieur"
At that moment a member of the
council having struck the body of the
bronze horse with his cane, they all
cried out: This sounds hollow"
Your bronze is hollow, monsieur"
said the mayor
The unhappy sculptor then took
great pains to explain that all bronze
statues were hollow. The mayor
maintained an air of defiant incredul-
ity, and as he passed around the monu-
ment said: 1T appears to me you have
hardly detailed the hair in the tail"
This was too much for the sculptor.
Il wished" he said, ito screw natural
hair into his tail like the hair used in

so. and l reflected that it would have
cost you too much"

Preservation Of Stone,

Under the title of Liquid stone" q
firm Of Abchnrch lane, London, Eng.
land, has produced fluid material,
the use Of which would revolutionize
the appearance Of the city There is
no trouble in it's application. The
surface Of the building is first rubbed
down to remove the dust. Two coats
Of the liquid stone" are then laid on,
after which It will be almost impossi-
BILE to detect the cement from the ma.
tural stone.
The whole process can be worked
from ladders, no special scaffolding
being required, and consequently
much inconvenience and expense are
saved. The composition is, moreover,
a preservative, and will retain its ap-
pearance as long as natural stone, and
probably longer than some varieties
which are employed. Not only in Lon.
don, but in nearly all the provincial
towns, many opportunities are pre-.
sented to utilize the new preparation.

PUSHED HIS INQUIRY TOO FAR
Discovery That Brought DisiIIusion.
ment to Austrian Emperor.

Regarding the public agitation for
baths in elementary schools In Aus
tria, story is going the round of
court circles Of a recent experience
Of the emperor says the Pail Mall
Gazette. His majesty was visiting a
school in small country district. A
local official, anxious to impress the
sovereign with the progressive ideas
prevailing In the community, called
his attention to the fact that the
schoolhouse was provided with baths
for the pupils.
The emperor showed the liveliest in
terest, and Immediately asked to see
the bathroom, whereupon the director
of the school looked extremely un.
comfortable. The key could not be
found for some time, and his majesty
began to get impatient. Finally 1t was
produced, and the eager official opened
the door.
The emperor stepped into a yerit-
able lumberroom, filled with a choice
collection of broken desks and chairs
and waste paper that completely hid
the bath equipment.
The emperor stepped quickly out
again, and as he did so was heard to
murmur: Serves me right. Why was
