A Simple Remedy.

Editorial omniscience no longer ex-
lists in the big city papers. The sew
eral departments require specialists
to take charge Of them, and woe to
the man who steps out of his own
narrow field. Not long ago the wom-
an who conducted the page devoted to
feminine interests was sick, and a
young man, a reporter, was called in
to try his hand.
He soon distinguished himself. A
letter came in inquiring how grease

Simple Menu Of Queen.

Queen Alexandra, who is retaining
her beauty marvelously. makes her
daily menu something like this: Be-
fore rising she eats a few thin slices
Of brown bread, spread with unsalted
butter. Her IL o'clock breakfast con-
sists of fruit, a couple of coddled eggs
and dry biscuits. A little delicate fish
or chicken, q salad and fruit comprises
her luncheon. With her four O'Clock
glass Of milk she eats q couple OF
honey cakes. She never eats the
heavy elaborate dinner served to the
rest Of the family. Instead. she has
little private dishes of tiny French
oysters grilled on toast, stewed eel
cry and q green salad dressed only
with oil and salt. She never eats any
more elaborate sweet than apple baked
with honey. When at Sandringham
she makes butter in her own churn In
the dairy every day, and then has a
luncheon of whole wheat bread and
buttermilk, which she says. il meal
fit for the goddess" and the most
wholesome any pretty woman can eat.

The Great Circus.

The Coliseum. massive as 1t was.
was . mere toy in comparison with
the Great Circus, which filed the val
ley between the Palatine and Aventine
bills. The Coliseum is said to have
been able to seat $4,000 people; while
the seating capacity Of the Great Cir
Gus was. at different periods, 10000.
100000, and lastly 100000 spectators.
The Great Circus was probably the
most stupendous building ever erected
for public spectacles.

which member of the camp captured
this very unusual species. but it is
understood that Grant Sprague of Big
Island was the lucky shot. The ami
NAL was found in the northern part
of Hastings or Lennox and Addington.

Congress continues to "kick the
Presidents message under the table"
but the members do not appear to
realize that they cannot kick the mes
sages out of the newspapers. The
members of the house and senate are
too sensitive. They do not seem to
realize that they were elected to rep
resent the people and not the passions
and prejudices of the special interests.
In their indirect endorsement of the
actions of Bailey, Foraker, Burton,
Mitchell, Tillman, Pratt, Depew and
the other singed cats who have been
caught with the goods, the members
Of congress stand before the country as

GOVERNOR SHALLENBERGER,S
MESSAGE.

In his message to the legislature,
Governor Shallenberger advocates the
creation of :. no,-partlsaL board for
the control of state institutions. If
the new governor really desires a
board of this kind, he should have i'm
pressed his sincerity upon the public
by making non-partisan appointments
for the heads of the several state insti-
buttons. While protesting reform with
mouth and pen, his acts contradict the
reform ideas expressed in his message.
He has appointed Democrats to sue
coed Republicans in the institutions he
now insists should be taken out of pol
itics. y He has followed the example
set by Republican administrations and
turned the state institutions over to his
political friends as a reward for party
service.
The governor, in his message, also
declares that the present primary law
is unsatisfactory, and calls attention to
the expense incurred in holding an
election under its provisions. A large
number of voters of both parties will
agree with the governors criticism of
the primary law. When the measure
was under discussion two years ago, it
was stated that the farmers demanded
the law in order TO protect themselves
against scheming politicians. Since
that time the farmers have had an
opportunity to 'protect" themselves,
but very few, in comparison TO- the
number of former voters, have taken
even enough interest in protection"
to 60 to the polls on primary day and
cast ballot. The governor says, 'the
plan of the present law for organizing
the party machinery, is not particu-
larly calculated to produce good re-
suits" In this respect the Republi.
cans of Platte county agree with the
governor. The present law empowers
the candidates of the party to name
the central committee. Often IN in
competent chairman is selected to con-
duct the campaign-one who lacks the
ability to organize and retain the con-
fdence of his party associates. Then
the party suffers and the opposition
gains. The chairman of q county
committee must have constructive
ability and fighting qualities to com.
mend him, otherwise he will prove .
dismal failure. In addition to this he
must be honest and distribute the
funds entrusted to him for legitimate
purposes and not allow himself to be
controlled by selfish and designing
politicians of the graft stripe. Yes,
the Journal agrees with the governor,
that the primary law should be revised.
The governor advises the passage of
. bank guarantee law, and an amend.
ment to the revenue law providing for
the election of precinct assessors.

One of the special interest senators
who never passes up an opportunity to
heave q chunk of ice in the direction
of the White House, is Senator Hale.
And what has been the record of the
Maine senatorf Thirty.fve or forty
years agc he married the daughter of
old lack Chandler. The bride
brought with her to the Hale home q
million dollars in bonds and other
securities, which included railway
bonds to the amount of $3.50, 900 voted
by q county in what is now South
Dakota. The county issuing the
bonds had refused to pay the interest
for the reason that the railway COM
pany refused to carry out its agree
ment with the county. When the bill
for the admission of the Territory of
Dakota into the sisterhood of states
Was before congress, Hale kept the
territory out Of the Union for three
years, stating, as his reason for so
doing, that the people of the territory
were attempting to repudiate their
obligations. After a compromise
arrangements were made to take up
the bonds and Hale withdrew his
objections to the admission of the
territory.
