Institutes For Women.

Farmers institutes heretofore have
been largely conducted for men. If
women attended, they have had to con-
slider the same subjects as the men, as
rule. But now the movement for
distinct farmers institutes for women
is rapidly growing. and 1t is considered
by the department the best agency at
present to increase the countrywom-
ans knowledge of domestic science.
Last year 732 meetings for country
women We're held by the farmers in
stitute directors in the several states
The work in such institutes is far from
perfect, but 1t is in the right direction.
AS in the case of many other things,
other more progressive nations in such
matters are far ahead of the United
States, though the American finds it
hard to realize it. Austria, Belgium
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzer-
land. France and the German states
have for many years been conducting
schools of domestic science and home
economics specially adapted to coun-
try people and also courses of study in
these sMbjects in fixed institutions in
towns and cities.

Scott Bill Amended.

The Senate in committee Of the
whole Wednesday agreed to 4 number
OF amendments to Senator SCOTS pri.
mary election bill.
One amendment reduces the allow
arce for expenditures by candidates
for nomination at the primaries SO that
no aspirant for a nomination for n
federation or state ONCE may spend
more than $500 and no aspirant for
an once affecting district smaller
than the entire state may spend more
than $500.
Another provides that candidates for
the United States senate at the pri-
maries shall go on the regular election
ballot and candidates for the Legisla-
ture have the choice of pledging them
selves to vote either for the choice of
their party at the primaries or for
the choice of all of the voters at the
general election. They are not
obliged to make either pledge.
Another amendment withdraws the
ban placed upon political organizga.
tiOns to prevent their getting behind
certain candidates before the primar-
les. The judiciary committee believed
the organizations would do this by in
direction regardless Of restrictions and
1t might better be permitted in the
open.

Question q Assessaee.

In the Senate on Thursday. the llth
inst. Senator Burger signified his in
tention to move for the recall from
the judiciary committee OF all bills
that concern elections. The senator
has always insisted that such bills
should be referred to the judiciary
committee. but the 8eaats yesterday
refused to recall from the committee
on privileges and elections an election
bill that should have been referred to
the judiciary committee, according to
the practice OF the body, and II was
after such refusal that Senator Burger
gave his notice. The effect Of the
adoption Of his motion, II he should
persist in his intention, would be to de-
lay indefinitely consideration of many
Of the most important bills introduced.
The controversy started when the
committee on privileges and elections
made favorable report on Senate bill
No. 202. by Senator Napier, providing
for an educational test for voters.
Senator Burger at once made the
point that no bill should be referred
to the committee on privileges and
elections. holding that committee was
solely for the purpose of hearing elec-
tion contests. He moved that the re-
port be not received and that the bill
be recalled from the committee. This
motion was defeated. the vote being a
tie and the lieutenant governor voting
in the negative.
After more than an hour of discus
sion the bill was referred to the Judi
ciary committee. whereupon Senator
Burger gave notice Of his revolution
ary motion.
Senator Crowley's bank guaranty
bill was reported.
Favorable committee reports we're
also made on Cary's bill for new fish
and game law and ON Tobin's and
Cary's bills for amendment Of the live
stock inspection law.
Senator Barela's joint memorial to
Congress, advocating the admission of
New Mexico to statehood. was unani-
mously adopted, after Senator Scott
had secured q promise from its author
that he would introduce . similar me.
mortal concerning the admission of
Arizona.
Senator Stephen introduced a reso-
luton declaring it to be the sense of
the Senate that no county division bill
should be considered at this session.

The country has an enormous

in its development the Swiss have

William Jennings, Bryan has a habit,
when speaking, of addressing his argu-
ments to some one man in his Audience.
In this way, he claims. he can concentrate
his thoughts much better. OF course, he
does It In a manner Indirect enough not to
be embarrassing to the victim.
Once during one of his campaigns he ad-
dressed himself most particularly to an old
farmer, who, he observed, followed all he
said with marked attention. Bryan was
much pleased. After the speech was over
the candidate sought out that old farmer.
"wha was It that struck you most par
ticularly about my speaking" he asked.
wal" began the farmer, and paused
seemingly embarrassed. But Bryan urged
him to explain, so at last he cleared his
throat and remarked:

ever heard whose whole set, of back teeth

the heating plant fails to work, the cellar
floor crumbles or the finish rubs off the
wood that the owner realizes that he has
been "buncoed" and wishes he had let his
contract to the man whose bid was $500
higher and save the additional expenditure
of this amount afterwards, to say nothing
of the annoyance. To not let the contract
to the lowest bidder is, of course, not fair
or just. The owner should, therefore,, be
sure and invite to submit figures only men
TO whom he would let the contract. Be-
cause a contractor has a reputation for
doing work cheap does not necessarily rec
ommend him, for 1t often happens that the
man who does work cheap does cheap or
inferior work, which is the most expensive
kind in the long run.
1t is best to let the contracts for the gem
eral construction, the plumbing. heating and
electric lighting separately. If all the work
is let to the general contractor he will in
variably let the. last three items to sub
contractors, whom he will in turn obtain
competitive figures from and charge the
owner 10 per cent for acting as middle man.
When the owner obtains his own bids on
heating, lighting and plumbing he has the
opportunity of selecting his own subcon-
