The telegraphers' eight-hour law
passed by the Missouri legislature has
been declared unconstitutional by
Judge Bradley of the circuit court at
Harrisonville, Mo. The railway at
torneys argued that the law favored
one class OF workingmen more than
other classes.

A union striker VINO was doing
picket duty for the machinists' union

contempt Of court because he carried
a banner on the street near the shops
where the strike existed. The court
had issued an injunction restraining
members of the union from intimidat-
ing would-be-strike breakers. fine
of S25 was imposed. The inscription
ON the banner was the announcement,
''Machinists on Strike at Moran Com

The brewing of tea, which is quick
Iy accomplished, will never be sue
cessful with any but water actually
and freshly boiled, and the teapot,
which should be earthenware, must be
hot. One teaspoonfuI of Ceylon or a
combination of English breakfast and
Orange Pekoe is the proper quantity
for each cup to be drawn. Enough
boiling water to steep the leaves
should be poured in and the pot al
lowed to stand for few minutes. At
the end of that time boiling water to
the desired quantity is added and the
cups filled at once. After this the
teapot should be sent out and pre-
pared for another brew. Never use
the same leaves a second time. Tea
with lemon juice is not a mere fad
without foundation. 1t is said that
when lemon juice is used to clear tea
there is little possibility of harm re
sulting, since the citric acid Of the
fruit offsets the fannie acid of The tea
rendering it refreshing and whole
some. A great improvement to a cup
of tea is a slice of pineapple which
has been soaked in rum, and a small
amount of maraschino and biz OF
lemon added brings out the flavor OF
the pineapple. Also a teaspoonful OF
rum is in great favor.

Cedar chests are much improved in
shape and size. From the old-fash-
toned heavy box affair have evolved
handsome ones of various lengths and
depths. Some stand on small legs and
others are made close to the floor.
There is a large demand for the long,
narrow chests as these pack particu-
larly we'll and are useful for skirts.
When used as window seats, as they
often are, and floor space must be
economical, a soft cushion of some
pretty material can cover the top, but
most of the newer boxes are quite
good looking enough to dispense with
a cover unless one wishes to add a
comfortable seat which will fit IN we'll
with the rooms color scheme. Trays
fitted into the chests are a great con
venience. Linen chests for the dining
room are made to match the furniture,
and those seen in the arts and crafts
shops are particularly artistic.

Variety of Foods,

1t is astonishing what a variety of
ancooked foods you find when you set
your mind TO it. and how it simplifes
a woman's work and leaves her time
for her children and her friends When
nature has taken the trouble to pre-
pare for us neat little packages of
nutriment incIosed in nutshells, and
when the hens are so coed as to lay for
us eggs all ready for eating and which
almost digest themselves, why should
We Stay animals and almost roast our
selves over the stove in roasting
them. I'm not preaching vegetarian-
ism, but I never could prepare meat
for the pot or the oven without a
sense of shrinking, and came to the
point where I said I would do it no
longer.
We have cooked vegetables often.
We can almost make a dinner of
green corn, which is no trouble to
cook. We take our vegetables
straight, though. Why on earth do
women spend time cutting vegetables
up into little pieces and mixing two
or three kinds together, or with
chopped meat and smothering them in
rich sauces as a ragout or cassirole ?

Judge A. G. Dayton, in the federal
court at Wheeling, w. Va, sentenced
John Beymer, a striking telephone
Iineman, and his wife to sixty days in
the Bannock county jail for contempt OF
court. Some time ago the court
granted an injunction against the
strikers, and Judge Dayton made the
Injunction permanent. Two days
later Beymer and his wife were ar
rested. The offense consisted n call
ing non-union men "scabs" and hurl-
ing abuse at them. In passing sent
ence the judge scored labor unions
for attempting to interfere with the
right of a man to work if he chooses.
He said the strikers had perfect
right to work or not, as they choose,
but no right to prevent others from
taking the positions they gave up.

The average republican member of
congress from doubtful districts is
so scared at his political prospects
from the do-nothing record he has
made that some of the western mem
bers have presented an ultimatum to
Speaker Cannon that they would join
the democrats in voting not to ad-
journ unless the anti-injunction bill
was reported from the committee on
judiciary, and an opportunity given
to vote upon it, Then another fac
ton is anxious to make a record by
voting for the passage of the cam
paign publicity bill which is before
the house with favorable report.
The leaders may accede to this de-
mand; for they know that the senate
will have the excuse of not sufficient
time to consider such a measure, SO
the bill would not pass as the leaders
never intended it should.
In any event this congress will go
down in history as the most extrava-
CANT on record, as standing pat on
the tariff, as refusing to consider
reform legislation that the President
has recommended and a general do
nothing record of what it should have
done, and doing things it ought not
to have done.

a direct vote. The Oregon Primary
Election Law, together with State
ment No. L, brings about this result
This Oregon Primary Election Law
certainly destroys the machine"
The democratic party OF Idaho is
on record in its demand for a pri-
mary election law for this state.
The republican party of Idaho put
a plank In their platform In their
last state convention, pledging that
party to the enactment of this legis-
lation. When the legislature met,
bills were framed and introduced,
providing for primary elections; but
the members OF the dominant party
could not agree as to the kind of
a bill it should pass, they split on
the details. II seemed impossible
for them to unite In favor of any
one bill, and In consequence, when
the legislature adjourned they had
failed to redeem their pledge to the
people regarding this particular kind
Of legislation.
1t may be that IL the democrats
again pledge the people that they
will enact primary law, and If they
come into power, they may be con-
fronted with the same difleuIty
which met the republicans and may
not be able to agree as to the terms
of the bill.
We submit to the members of the
party in the state and also to the
members of the republican party in
the state, the Oregon Primary Elec-
ton Law, with Statement No. /. 1t
seems to work admirably in Oregon.
The people like it because 1t gives
them the direct choice of their high
est official and has destroyed the
machine" in Oregon which has been
most pernicious and active and pow
erful for many years.
The people of Idaho would like
to elect their senators by direct vote
They will be offered an opportuni-
ty of doing so IL they adopt the Ore
gOn plan. 1t being almost certain
that the democrats will declare again
for the primary law, why not be per.
fectly honest and frank with the
people and tell them the kind OF q
primary law they will enact If given
the power.
The Seimitar expresses itself. after
having with some care examined the
primary laws in a great number OF
states of the Union, in favor Of
the Oregon law, including Statement
No. Idaho Scimitar.

that naturally leads them to favor

WASHINGTON, May ga Especial
Correspondence - With congress
on his hands and the Taft boom on
his shoulders, President Roosevelt
is not haying smooth sailing these
days. When the Republican National
Committee selected United States
Senator Julius Caesar Burrows, in
stead of the ubiquitous Beveridge,
to preside over the National Conven-
tion, II was a direct intimation to
Mr.. Roosevelt that he could not run
things entirely to suit himself. When
this news reached the White House
there was an explosion and Repubn-
can reactionaries were elassed with
malefactOTs of great wealth as most
undesirable citizens. The atmos-
phere has not cooled OF yet in the
Presidential region. for there is inn
minent danger that the anti-Taft fac
/ ton may by manipulation of the 200
contested delegates hold control of
the convention and upset the pollti-
cal arrangements of one Theodore
Roosevelt. Both sides claim they
will control, though the Roosevelt
Taft clamor Is the most noisy and
Spectacular as might be expected.
There may be clash on the question
of how much of my policies" will
be endorsed by the convention, and
that may precipitate fight In the
convention itself, though as matter
of political necessity President Roose-
welt and his administration will have
to be strongly endorsed In a general
way.
The senate financial bill, somewhat
amended, will be the outcome OF the
deliberations OF the conference COM
mite. The republicans feel they
dare not adjourn without some kind
of currency measure to make the
deluded people imagine that future
panIes are provided against. The
only real place of legislation that the
ordinary republican congressman Is
actually interested in Is the public
