REPUBLICAN, FRACTIONAL STRIFE.

The Washington correspondent for
the New York Herald (rep) says:
"There is to be noted a growing feeling
of Encouragement on the part of re-
publicans generally at the national
capitol as to whether the candidate to
be nominated at Chicago will win. AS
Taft sweeps through the enemy's
country picking up delegates here and
there, it is evident that even some of his
warmest supporters are getting in a
state of what might be classed as blue
funk On the other hand it is evident
that some of his opponents are some
what relaxing their efforts because they
do not think that the party can make a
winning fight unless the situation is
changed" The dispatch then goes on
to outline the troubles under which Mr.
Taft labors, and winds up with this
frank admission: "But what more than
the troubles of Secretary Taft is exert
ing a disheartening influence on the
party managers is apparently their in
capacity to grapple with matters of
pressing Importance. They find them
selves on the heels of a money crisis
unable to pass quickly a simple measure
of financial relief for an emergency cur
rency. They find themselves un able to
reach any agreement which will enable
them to pass any legislation which will
meet the insistent demands of labor,
and they find themselves with congress
and the president divided. This grow.
ing tendency on the part of the leaders
to separate and grapple each Others
Threats, instead of vexing,party problems
is the important development of a stu.
alton in which the favorite of the presi
dent seems to be much more than hold
ing his own The Omaha World Herald
adds: "All this, of course, is only the
beginning of the trouble. 1t is assured
that there will be more than 2OC
contested seats in the national conven.
ton, and the probabilities are thai the
settlement of these contests will
determine the nominee, and the control
of the convention. This means scandal
bad blood and factional strife. In every
state the republican party is a house
divided against itself, worse even than
was the democratic party in 1896"

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

1t was a grand convention.
1t was the greatest convention ever
held in North Dakota.
1t was a convention of the people
believers in the great principles rep
resented by " illlam Jennings Bryan.
The delegates went to the convention
with a fixed determination to do one
thing and do it well--send a delegation
to Denver instructed to vote as a unit
for the nomination of William J. BRYAN
for president.
And they did not swerve one iota from
their purpose.
North Dakota has spoken, and it has
spoken in a tone of voice that will ad-
nit of no misconstruction, m1sunder-
standing, doubt or confusion.
And the democrats of North Dakota
are perfectly satisfied, and there was
never more complete harmony within
the party.
On with the fight! On to victory!-

A POINT in argument to bring out "a
large vote at the primary election is,
that under the primary election law now
in force a vote equal to thirty per cent
of that cast for secretary of state at the
last election, is necessary before the
primaries can become a candidate for
election to office. Therefore. if you
would have your mar hold Office you
must see that the vote cast for him at
the primary election in June is up to
requirements.

How to Eat Pincapples.

Pineapples should never be sliced
That treatment releases the juice from
the pulp and leaves the meat dry and
woody and tasteless. Down In Cuba
and in the lower part of Florida
where they know how to eat the fruit,
they never peal a pineapple. They take
Il ripe fruit-for pineappIes should new
or be eaten unless they are ripc-and cut
eff the top and bottom; then they split
the fruit lcngthwisc, then quarter 1t
and split the quarters. This gives
eight slices which are then eaten from
the hand as one would eat n piece of
watermelon. BY following this method
you get all the juice and can make a
tidy job of it. You eat 1t right down to
the skin. and after trying it that way
do not think you would voluntarily go
back to1the old way of chopping the
fruit into chunks and eating the juice
less pieces.

How to Care For Polished Tables.

Sometimes there are ways of doing
things that are so simple that we for
get to employ them. Here Is an in
stance: The polished mahogany dining
table Is source of some anxiety and
care in many households. An easy
matter it is to keep it bright and I'M
spotted if after each meal you wash
it with cold water, using sponge.
Then dry and rub briskly. This keeps
the table top clear and bright and free
from that greasy look SO often seen
upon tables in even well regulated
households. White spots sometimes
appear upon the polished surface Of
furniture. Just remember that you
can readily remove such spot by
rubbing with a cloth moistencd with
alcohol. This will not mar the finish
of the wood.

How to Clean Wooden Floors.

Many times when there is Il large
grease spot on the floor it is hard to re-
move it with soap and hot water. Full
ler's earth will remove the most obsti-
nate grease spot. Dissolve some dry
fuller's earth in small amount of hot
water to the consistency of thick
paste. Then allow the earth to grow
cold. When it is cold, spread it on the
grease spot thickly and allow it to re-
main on all night or for several hours.
When thoroughly dry scour it off with
cold water Should the grease spot be
deep it may be necessary to repeat the
process once or twice.

crossed over the melon hill somewhat
like the center wicket in a croquet
ground. The ends of these wires were
sewed to the corners of the muslin
squares and the wires then thrust firm
ly into the ground so as to secure the
canopies ana prevent the wind blowing
them away. These protectors cost
complete about s cents each
The melons responded to the genial
