The Republican city committee of New
York-the committee that under Chair
man, Parsons lead agreed to the shame
full and justly rebuked alliance with
Hearst at the last city election-refused
to endorse Governor Hughes as candi-
date for the presidency last week, post
poning action until next month. The
move Is not clearly understood, but is
evidently inspired by opponents of
Hughes. The New York governor is not
favorite of the professional politicians,
who can not bend him to their liking.

Gov. Hughes engagement to address
the Union League club of Chicago on
Washington's birthday is beginning to
attract attention because of its possible
political bearings. The visit to Chicago
will be the governors first invasion of
the West since he became conspicuous in
the presidential race 1t may be that on
that occasion he will discuss national
questions with more definiteness and full
ness than he has hitherto. Those who
are opposing him for the presidency de-
mand that he express himself with pre-
cision on a number of national issues.
The Chicago address will at least afford
the governor an excellent opportunity to
satisfy his critics in this espect.-Spring-

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Various Matters from Various
Standpoints.

We know relatively what our farms
produced for Us the past season. The
final report of the Department or Agri-
culture was issued Saturday. In gross
value the eleven leading crops of the land
are valued this year aC So, 40S 967 900, as
against 50 GIG. 226,0 900 last year. This is
fine in values, but it isn't enough in quani-
ty. The American farmer ought to pro-
duce twice what he does produce. 1t is es-
timated that the farm lands of this coun-
try would support ten times the pres
ent population. Present food prices are
too high There are too many half-filled
stomachs Trust managers figure that if
they produce twice as much as they do
now the products would command only
half the present prices. Labor argues
that if it did twice as much work it
would get no more for it, The farmer
has just as good right to reason that if he
doubles his output he will make the
markets easier and reduce his prices.
1t is consoling reason, but not sound.
The world has never yet had too much
to eat.-From the Rutland Herald.

What About A CoOk-Stove.

Now that summer time and
"dog days" are just ahead, every
body who Summers" at home,
is considering how to simplify
things and get the most comfort
out of an uncomfortable situa.
tion.
We interview the ice man; or
der thin clothes; plan to ease up
here and relax there; but more
than likely forget the one most
important Item In the whole hot
weather scheme-some means of
doing the family cooking without
the sufferable heat of a coal fire
In the kitchen.
Everyone with experience
knows how tiresome 1t is to stay
in a stuffy room to prepare a
meal, let alone the doing of big
baking. But everyone doesn t
know how very easy it is to
change hot kitchen to a cool
one, and do better cooking at the
sametlme. Just add to your list
of sum amer convenlences a New
Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil
Cook Stove and you've done all
that any one can do TO lessen hot
weather discomfort.
Wouldn't 1t be fine of a sum-
mer morning to step In the kitch-
en-, put on the kettle, broll the
steak, bake the mullins, filter the
coffee and give the breakfast call
In one fourth the time you'd take
to do 1T all on a coal stove?
And wouldn't 1t be fine to be as
cool when the breakfast was pre-
pared as when you first entered
the kitchen?
People who have tried it say
that the New Perfection Oil Stove,
actually does everything IN the
line of cooking and domestic SER
wee without overheating the
room or the worker.
Undoubtedly the reason is to
be found in the blue flame prin.
clple on which the stove works.
A cylindrical chimney con-
centrates the heat at the stove
top and in this way prevents sur.
face radiation as in a coal or wood
stove.
1t is easy to see that this les
sens very much the matter of
personal discomfort In summer
housekeeping
SO don't forget the New Per-
fectlon OIL Stove in your summer
plans and you will have q COM
