SOME GOOD SENSE

Senator Caldwell, Of Concordia, II
an interview has these good sugges-
tons:
"The primary election law should
be amended SO that voters OF the
democratic persuasion cannot nullify
the votes cast by Republicans at the
primaries. This could be done eth
er by adopting the provision OF the
Oregon law, which compels the elect
or to register before the primary,
his political belief under oath, or
by adopting provisions of the Iowa
law which makes his declaration OF
party fealty as expressed at the
first primary at which he votes his
choice OF tickets to be voted at the
succeeding primary. A registration
could be made by making 1t the duty
of township trustees and assessors,
when taking the census in March
of each year, to exact from the vot-
er a declaration of his political faith
with a provision that II any voter
failed to 80 declare himself, he would
not be permitted to vote at the sue
ceeding primary. This is very
simple method, and the expense is so
trifling that 1t is not worthy of con-
sideration.
"The method of electing county
should certainly be
changed. Instead of electing mem
bers of the county central committee
at the primary, the successful can
didates Of the respective parties
should after the primary meet and
elect county central committees. In
Cloud county one-third Of the Repub-
lean county committee selected at
he primary either voted for Hodges
" failed to register their votes for
Governor Stubs. The disorganiza-
ion was so complete that at no time
Turing the compaign was there a
Iuorum at a meeting Of the commit
ee.
"Of course, the Inheritance tax
aw either will be amended or repeal
d. There are some Republicans who
re In favor of patching the thing
p by amending but 1t should be
efeated."

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1910.

Governor Stubs is fighting the
proposed appointment of Judge Pol
lock to the supreme court. Judge
Pollock is one Of the ablest judges
ever on the federal bench and 1t
would be a high credit to Kansas
to have him appointed. The only
objection to him appears to be that
he does not bow down and worship
at the behest of the fake reformers
who are working politics in Kansas
just now for their own pocketbooks.
In the minds Of sensible persons this
is highly to his credit and 1t is hoped
that President Taft will appoint him.

CORRECT WEIGHTS AND MEASUR
Eleven counties In the state have
taken advantage OF the recent law
regulating weights and measures. The
county clerks who are the sealera
for each county have charge Of the
local testing. In the past year two
hundred tests have been made and
much apparatus has been readjusted
in the office of the state sealer.
New standard weights and meas
ures are obtained through this state
sealer, who is the Chancellor Of the
University of Kansas. In the past
month a full set of one-piece gold
plated bronze weights of the highest
quality has been received at the office
of the state sealer at Lawrence for
use as reference standards Of weight.
Each weight Is certified by the bureau
of standards at Washington. A new
fifty-foot bench standard of length
is being installed. This will be used
to graduate and correct steel tapes
aud surveyors chains.

BEST RECIPE FOR A REAL HOME
What are the three essentials q
IA home;
An assembly Of 500 women com
prlsing the social economic club d
Chicago discussed this question fol
half day, and reached no conclu-
sion.
One woman said three essentials
are good temper, a good mother,
and charge Of the finances. This
raised debate. Others said the man
and wife are Joint sovereigns, and
that each should have an approprIa.
ton Of the family money.
One timidly urged that the man
is the head Of the house. Another
suggested that good husband is at
least one Of the essentials. Noae u
the women paid much attention TO
this suggestion. Eierher they left
the husband out of the calculat ioas
or took him for granted.
A minister who happened In was
asked his opinion. He said, "a man,
woman and cook stove"
And these women applauded, not
thinking, doubtless, that a man, a
woman and a cook stove may conSti-
tute dive as well as a home.
A husband who came to take his
wife home volunteered this: "A man
who provides, woman who attends
to her own business, and supper on
time"
This was hissed, though in real
substance 1t is the same as the min
ister's applauded answer.
Finally the youngest woman pres
ent ventured: "A man a woman and
a baby"
This comes much nearer the true
essentials though there are good
homes without babies. The baby may
not yet have come to the coy nest
that has been softly lined for it with
love. The baby may have gone. leav-
ing the heartstrings Of the man and
woman knitted together more se-
curely in common grief and sympa-
Thy. The baby and other babies may
be growing up, and in every day OF
growing making the home more truly
nome. The babies may have homes
md babies of their own-but where
s there in all the world a home like
the serene home of grandpa and
grandma? Its old floor is polished
oy many hurrying feet. Its old walls
ire decorated with a thousand treas
fred fingermarks. Its atmosphere is
sweet with a million tender memories.
The true answer 10 the question
IS q simple one.
