Yet, thank God, there are some citizens in
this country-and their number increases
hourl WHO do not look upon things from
the standpoint of official Washington, and
these, although many of them count them
selves as members Of the party that held its
convention in Chicago last week, can hardly
be blamed for feeling deep dissatisfaction
with the outcome of that great occasion.
More than any disgust that may be felt over
an exhibition of enormous self-conceit, more
than any resentment toward a machine-made
platform and machine-chosen candidate,
forced, willy nilly, down the party's throat,
with perhaps the most brutal exhibition of
machine rule ever given, the absolute ignor-
ing Of the greatest moral issue Of the age by
the convention of party that processes to be
the representative of the moral in politics,
must make profound impression upon the
honest citizen.
AS never before in American history peo-
pie are aroused over the infamy Of the drink
traffic. The demand for settlement of the
problem that it presents in politics is as
widespread as the nation. The voice of the
people has spoken upon the subject wherever
there has been the faintest opportunity to be
heard and the administration that has sat
silent in Washington and has refused the aid
that could have been given the movement in
federal lawmaking now has the assurance to
rise before the moral people of America and
declare itself the very height of the moral
ideal in politics and demand it's own perpet-
uation in power upon platform that gives
to the political question that stands supreme
in the minds of at least fifty million loyal
Americans exactly the same consideration
that it gives to the idea of discovering the
north pole.
One does not need to prove a bad character
for the nominees of that great convention;
one does not need to "muck rake" it's pro-
ceedings; one does not need to prove it's plat
form antagonistic to the progress of the day
in the fact that it has chosen candidates &C
ceptable to the liquor interest, in the fact
that in this supreme hour of American his
tory it ignores the greatest moral and polit-
ical issue-in that fact it stands proved that
the Republican party cannot serve as the
governmental agency of man who believes
in clean politics and moral progress in gov
eminent and that it has no claim upon the
ballot of any such man.

Places Ban on "Merry Widows"

Up in this pait OF the country the
people, particularly the women, seem
to desire hats as large as possible,
said Charles W. Hastings, of Mexico
City. at the Hotel Portland recently.
"Of course | refer to the merry wi
dow hat. Also the Scanus bonnet.
Big hats, sombreros. have been all

will be popular, guess. But the
sombl ero is doomed in the state OF
Jalisco, Mexico. Ihe legislature has
declared against it. The legislators
have found that the picturesque SOM
brero is nuisance and that the Mex.
ican Who wears 1t must have license.
Besides he must have number on
the hat. Without this the wearer Is
subject to arrest and a fine. The
object of the fine is to cure the peon's
taste for this style of p cover, which
corded with gilt and silver is some
times SIX feet or more across the
brim, and so expensive that a poor
Mexican often works whole year In
order to earn the price Of one. The
| longing for sombrero among the
Mexicans has the desire for a merry
widow or Panama among the people
up here trimmed to finish. The
som brero is one Of the attractions of
Mexico To attempt to drive 1t out
of Jalisco by licensing II and fixing a

will show as good results as in the
neighboring valley where the new sys-

The chief difference, says the judge,
between the new system and the
Campbell system is In the direction
from which the moisture comes to
nourish the roots OF the growing
plant. The well known Campbell sys-
tenn by the means OF surface oultiva-
tion brings up the moisture from the
lower earth, while the new system
brings it from above the roots. The

Humane SOcietY.

Attention is hereby called to the
fact that a Humane Society has re-
Gently been established in our city.
Its purpo is to see that state laws
ale enforced in all cases of cruelty to
children and dumb animals, and any
and all persons witnessing undue pun
ishment and cruelty may report the
same to the society and measures will
be taken TO restrain th0ugbttes1 aud

partially as a result of the many com

The sociely makes no law, but as
stated above its business Is to see
that our state laws governing the
treatment of children and animals are
enforced, and onr peopie are kindly
