Nc County Rights.

It occurs to us that the State Exec utive Committee overstepped it's au- thority when they peremptorily set the date for the county primaries, and re- fused to give it's consent for primaries already called to be fixed by the county committee. Where, we would ask is the use for a County Executive Com mittee, There are no duties for them to perform. We believe the State Com mittee did allow the County Committee to have great honor of selecting the managers for the primary, and also to provide the ways and means to hold the election.
 The State Committee rule and "bosF- ism is not palatable to the minds of Democrats of th.s section. The State Committee can call a convention or o primary election for State officers, but they have no right to fix the dates for county primaries. There has been re- gently in Alabama great cry from certain quarters for State Tights. for county in the State should have the right to say how they would select their candidates for the county offices wheth- CT by convention, mass meeting, or prf- mary election, or an old-fashioned scrub race. Suppose the County Exec utive Committees of any or all the counties sh ould Ignore the order pro- mulgated by the great State Commit tee What are they going to do about it? We think their order should be strictly carried out, so far as the State primary is concerned, but we think they make a mistake when they go further than a recommendation to the County Committees.

snNAron soHNsroN,s An1ENDMENT.

SENATOR J0HNsTON's AMENDMENT.
 One of the pending amendments to the Aidrich currency bin Is the fol- lowing offered by Senator Johnston:
 Amand Section by striking out the iirst five lines and inssrtns in after January first. nineteen hundred and nine, two-thirds of the reserve re- quired by law to be held by national banking associations shall De Kept ID required by law or in bonds mentioned in this act: Provided. That not more than one-hah of the reserve so re- Snirsd to De sspt s, n H. the sh vsSs sonas 9r
 At the present time national banks (not in reserve citiss) are required to keep l5 per cent of their deposits as a reserve; of this amount six per cent of the deposits can be kept in cash and nine per cent can be deposited in reserve banks tNew Yorix); this amend ment. if adopted. win compel the banks to keep ten per cent instead of six per cent in their vaults either in money or in State, county or municipal bonds approved by the Secretary of the Treasury and upon which emergency currency could immediately be issued.
 Instead of the banks carrying nine per cent in New York reserve banks, whence 1t cannot be had in panic, only five per cent can be carried there under this amendment. The reduction in the amount that can be carried in New York would be more than sioo.- 100000. and tend largely to check the gambling spirit in the exchanges.
 So two objects are to be accom-. plished. one keeping a larger supply of money. actual or potential. at home and the other. reducing by over one hundred millions the accumulation of cash in New York and. to that extent reducing speculation.

Expensive Habits.

LOS AukGAG6
 There are countless men and women grief through expensive habits. They say to themselves and to their neigh bors that there is only one life to live and that the least one should get out of 1t Is the luxuries that the mind and body demand. The reason why this is a foolish way of looking at things is that 1t brings want and poverty in old age-the time when these conditions bear most cruelty. The poor store clerk, for instance, who spends. say, S10O a year on tobacco, makes a great mistake It is a thing that he can go without and be all the better for doing
 it. That one habit alone prevents him from having a savings account in the and cigsrs he would have S10O In the bank at the end of a year and that sum, small as 1t Is. could easily be made the foundation of a. competency that would support his old age in in- dependence and comfort. s
 Take a man who is fairly well-to-do in life who cannot resist the tempta- tIon to keep an automobile and main tain a house that Is far beyond his needs. He is also making a mistake. He is living too closely to his income. He is spending as he goes, and that's ali very well were he always able to now. But is he laying anything by he is not playing the game well. The thing to do is to "cut out" the ex- pensive habits. They are always un- necessary. A good man can be well respected without them, and just as hannS-

Only two years after her mar riage to Prince Leopold. her husband died suddenly, leaving her. as it wera. 6 ward on the British nation. She is of a retiring disposition. and cares lit- tie for court life, but takes an active interest in many practical charities. The Duchess is related to many of the reigning houses of Europe in her own right. the Queen mother of Holland being her sister. Her young son. who inherited his fathers title of Duke of Albany, is now the, reigning prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Four years ago her only daughter, Princess Alice of Albany, was marired to Prince AL ewaftder of Teck. -.7e

They are having quite a nice little dispute over in London. the subject being the proposed statue to Sir Hen " Irving. The point of controversy is the way the statue is to be clad. One side wants Sir Henry represented in marble exactly as he was in his everyday life. while the other side is equally clamorous for a statue which will picture him as Hamlet. the part he played so well. It seems to us that the decision of the matter should depend on whether they propose a statue to Hamlet or to Irving. If the latter is their object we don't see why they don't have the scuiptured figure of the real Irving just as the world knew him in his daily life. and not in his artificial character.

Who have faith in God and Nature,
Who believe that in all ages
Every human heart is human,

That the feeble hands and helpless
Cropping blndly in the darkness,
Touch Gods right hand in that darkness
And are lifted up and strengthened

RIVER FALLS REPEATS.

Barring an accident or the mirac-
ulous, by the time this paper
reaches it's readers, the local high
will have landed the base ball
championship of the ST. Croix league
for the second consecutive year, and
for the fifth time in six years. To-
day they played the Galahads, and
unless all dope is off, the game has
been won by River Falls. Each of
the other three teams has beaten
Galahad, and each in turn been
beaten by River Falls. Therefore.
Last Saturday the locals went to
Hudson. Hudson has never had
any terrors for RIVER Falls at high
school base ball. Once, only, in
the history of the schools has Hud-
son won. But they proposed to win
this year. They have new pitcher,
a south-paw. He all but blanked
Galahad, held New Richmond help
less, striking out about 10 in each
game, and held the Normal slug
gers" helpless for four innings. He
would surely turn the trick with
River Falls, and the scalps of the
nutcrackers were already at his
belt. 1t was good day for game,
but rather warm for the season.
River F alls drove up, getting late
dinner at Hudson. The game was
called at 3:15. River Falls was at
bat. Anderson struck out, F. Symes
went out short TO first, Pratt singled,
P. Symes walked and Smith went
out to short. For Hudson Olson
struck out, Zarske flew out to first
and Wade to center. In the second,
for the Falls Robey was hit, RudoW
struck out, Sherburne took first on
Robey's out at 3rd and then was out
catcher to End. For Hudson Fisher
walked, eastman struck out, Hauke
was out End to 1st, and Imrie struck
out. No runs yet, but River Falls
was hitting and Hudson wasn't.
Third inning. For Falls, Dopkins
walked, stole second but went out
at third. Then Anderson, Symes,
Pratt and Symes singled in success
sion, Pratt going out, asleep, at
second, and P. Symes stealing home
with the third earned run. Smith
was safe on frst's error, and Robey
went out at first. For Hudson,
Hallenberger struck out, Kline got
1st on Robey's error, second on wild
pitch, and scored on Olson's double.
Zarske hit to short and took second
on Olson's out at the plate, third on
an overthrow to center and home
before the ball was returned. Wade
went out, pitcher to 1st, and score
was to 2. In the 4th for the Falls
Rudow and Sherburne flew out to
short. then Dopkins was safe on
thirds error, stole End and 3rd, and
was forced home when the pitcher
walked Anderson, Symes and Pratt
