 NOMINATION FILING RECORDS
Chairman w. A. Henderson Was Right
 Behind In the Filing.

Chairman George W. Jones of the Montgomery County Democratic Exec utive Committee beat all records in clearing up the work of the committee for the primary of May IS.

 Chairman W. A. Henderson of the Second District Committee, was no more back ward. His committee met Tuesday and he at once got rid of the committee business by transactlng 1t.

ENGLISH SOCIALISTS.

n T THE recent congress of representatives
\ Of the English laboring masses the So
ciansts carried the day. The convention declared
for Socialism. Several powerful unions OF Eng
land, however, have repudiated the decision OF the
congress. They refuse to be tied to the Social
ist cart.
The fact. however, that labor congress in
England should be so pronouncedly Socialistic IS
surprising to those who have not observed the
advance Of Socialism. England for years has
been the home of individualist. Socialism until
recently has made but little headway. AS a po-
ltical party the Socialists in England are still
small But the action of the congress will doubt
less bring the Socialists and the Labor party into
closer union which means trouble for the Liber-
als-probably their ultimate defeat.
But if real Socialism be not strong in England,
ideas that are called socalistic are spreading For
instance one of the important questions before
Parliament is an old age pension system. c on
servatives" here who want 10 return 10 the doc
trines of the fathers" must "sit up and take no
tice" when they hear of the development of the
old age pension schemes in England. The gov
ernment of England set apart $I2,o 100000 as q
nucleus for the old age pension fund, btt-nou-
that the subject has been revived the Laborites
are clamorously protesting that the sum is en-
tirely inadequate, even as a beginning.
The growth of socialistic notions in England
and the apparent increase of the Socialists as
political party may influence aboring men in this
country. The American Federation of Labor, at
its annual meetings, has always rejected plans OF
the small but noisy group of Socialists in the Fed
Grafton who seek to commit that body TO the So
cialist propaganda. Gompers has been power
fu foe of Socialism. But the unions have re-
ceved so many cracks through recent decisions
Of the Supreme Court, that the Socialists will be
encouraged in renewing their endeavors 10 COM
init the Federation to the Socialist propaganda.

ADVANTAGES OF
GOOD LEATHERS
Physicians Agree That Poor
Upper Leather in Shoes
Causes III Health

The statement recently made by
many physicians that much i'll health
and endless discomfort is caused by
the wearing Of shoes in which the up
per leather is poorly adapted for the
purpose, is undoubtedly true. During
recent years splits and some other
kinds of leather have been pushed to
the front for this purpose which are
very poorly adapted for shoe uppers.
Corn doctors have multiplied at an
amazing rate in consequence, and peo-
pie have suddenly discovered that their
feet, for some unknown reason, need
great deal more attention than they
formerly did. In fact, the weakness
of the human race subjected to modern
conditions seems to be especially un-
bearable in the matter of the pedal
extremities.
without going into details in regard
to the imperfections of some other
kinds Of upper leather it is a fact that
the larger use Of goatskin feathers for
uppers will again speedily work a rem
edy in this important respect The
ancients fully recognized the advan-
tage of goatskin feathers and confined
themselves almost exclusively to this
kind Of leather in the uppers of their
footwear. The pebbles, moroccos
straightgrains and other finishes which
are found so generally in the samples OF
shoes worn by former generations were
very similar in their comfort giving
properties to the glazed kid, patent kid
dull kid and other popular finishes OF
to-day.
After all, it does not require any
great amount Of wisdom TO discover
why this is so, for what is best for one
extremity-the hands-is also equally
desirable for the other-the feet. Who
would think of wearing a pair Of gloves
made Of split leatherl Furthermore
many of the feathers used for uppers
have the pores sealed and shut out the
air absolutely That in itself will ruin
the stoutest pair of feet in a few
months, because nature requires the
free circulation of the air in connec-
tion with the various members of the
human body. The man who wears ar
air-tight hat soon pays the penalty by
losing his hair, and the swell ing
/ burning, bllstering felt by so many
people in their feet is the direct result
Of not wearing shoes made with goat.
skin leather in their uppers. Foreign.
ers, who take life more leisurely ant
study their comfort to a greater exten
than do average Americans, who rush
through life at break-neck speed ant
sacrifice everything in order to catei
to their failacious ideas as to what Il
more desirable, recognize the truth o
the statements before made in this re-
spect, hence the steadily increasing de.
mand for glazed kid on the other side
What they know so fully. the people
in ire United States are fast finding
out. hence the rapid growth in thu
domestic trade in glazed kid. Ther'
is not the slightest doubt that If th'
trade and public were made familiar
with the true merits of glazed kid an,
goatslSin feathers in general the vas
bulk Of the demand would be for thi
kind OF upper leather and could no
be swerved to anything else. even tenn
