PAYNE A HUGHES "coNvERT.n

4 OVERNOR HUGHES has made an import
~ ant convert to his standard in his fight for
direct primary law in New York state. The
Hon. Serene L. Payne, a conservative Congress
man who will go down on the pages of fame
a partner with Aldrich in formulating the
new tariff bill, is satisfied that a majority of the
Republicans in his home New York district want
to make an experiment with the law as proposed
by the Governor.
Like most conservatives OF his kind, Mr.
Payne personally does not seem to think much
of the Governors proposal, but he is willing TO
give it a chance. When politicians see senti-
ment drifting in one direction they arc apt to
jump in with the tide and that seems to be Mr..
Payne's position. The candidate for the Legis-
lature from the Payne district was therefore
instructed to support, If elected, the Governors
proposal for a direct primary law.
This conversion of Payne if it may be called
a conversion, is a sign showing the remarkable
struggle that strong personality IS making in
New York Governor Hughes has been opposed
by all the old line leaders. The leaders of
neither party like him. The manipuators of
New York politics who are in league with the
private interests, the public service corporations
and those who mix business with politics, have
sought in vain to get the Governors scalp.
1t looks as il the Governor would win his
fight for the direct primary law despite the
frantic efforts of the opposition to head him Off,
The failure of the Dutch Minister to arrive in
time for the reception that had been planned Tor
him in this city seems to have been due to
misunderstanding of the arrangements. THIS
is to be regretted for Wilmington people were
bent on showing their appreciation of his visit
to Delaware. We know that no one regrets the
slip-up more than the stalwart and gracious
representative of the beautiful and beloved
Queen OF Holland, a country that played no
unimportant part in the settlement OF America.

No Disease Germs

The bane of raw milk is disease germs. For
any germ in milk breeds with frightful rapidity.
There may be germs of consumption from
tubercrlar cows, which are common. Infections
may come from diseased milSmen OF from dirty
dairies.
These germs make raw milk the most terrible
foe of humanity. For one thing, two-thirds our
infant mortality is due to them.
Van Camps milk is gerrnless.
Our cows are inspected; so are the men who
milk them Our dairies are sanitary. Our
buildings are built without wood. We make
business of cleanliness.
Then Van Camps is pasteurized after the cans
are sealed. Not germ of any kind can remain

W cnrrNrY OPTION FAIIIrRE.

A few years ago some advocates Of
strict temperance in Vermont thought
that county option would prove the solu-
tion to any problem which might be be-
fore the state in The matter OF dealing
with the liquor issue. tt was proposed
to have the limits Of license OF no-license
bounded By county lines, thus making
larger sections dry The plan was
favored by some believers in local op.
ton, at least to the extent Of a trial. to
get at the real merits Of the proposition.

Of the system. They were doubtless sim
cere in their search for information;
but they never got encouragement
enough to have the system tried out
In Vermont, so that we have no frst.
hand information about IL.
Missouri however, furnishes us test
Of the proposition. There the county

sale Of liquor is in vogue and more than
half the counties of the state are with.
out licensed saloons this year But, in
spite Of that fact, the collections under
the beer stamp law are $4,000 greater
this year than they were last year,
when the territory Of wet. counties was
far larger, according to the report Of the
state beer inspector, just made to Cover
nor Hadley. It is not divulged how much
of this increased consumption Of beer
went into the nominally dry" counties
but it is hardly reasonable TO ascribe the
large increase to the wet area, which
is 50 much smaller than last year The
conclusion which will be reached is that
great deal of liquors is consumed in
the county-dry area of Missouri, and
that, therefore, it must be dispensed in
violation OF the law. So, while nominal
" the state Of Missouri is more free

county option, there is actually q
greater consumption Of beer than ever,
