eaIfopins Over q Rough Mountain
Road In the Andes.
In going over one of the mountain
roads oil the way to the crest of the
Andes the traveller has need of steady
nerves. A passage in 1.-The Andean
Land" 10y z. s. Osborn, describes the
journey.
The road is narrow and rocky aud
rutty and steep. with no walls to
speak at except tumbledown ones that
increase the danger by their false sug.

wagon would fall 1000 feet IL it

The road has no graceful sweeps OF

The Evening Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

TEE eternal length Of a rainy Sunday spent with a crowd of people
who were comparative strangers to each other, impels ne to a few
: remarks on the art of general conversation.
If you want tobe welcome On rainy Sundays similar occasions
when conversation is the chief amusement, let me suggest that DHore
you start to tell n anecdote you ash yourself: is II lntrnscaly inter,
esting? That is, If 1t las no connection with myself or my friends, Will
1T still be worth telling" And if you can't Say, YES" dom tell It. $50
I've often heard a bore defined IS a person who talks about himself
continually, but / don't think that's right. ] know people VINO talk about
Themselves perpetualy, but who are nevertheless very delightful COM
they tell about themselves is intrnstcany interesting, that is, would be
50 even II it had no personal connection. &.&@4 .H
Try also to lose the idea that q bare statement, that you or some
G. your friends have been to some particular place or done some special
thing, is a good conversational cOn. -
For instance, If a bright story about newspaper life IS told, mere
is always someone to pipe up: 81 have a friend who al a newspaper

full spot is being admired the same variety If bore volunteers n absorb

%N Remarks like that go we'll enough with people who have reason to
be interested in you and your friends. and where yoa-haxe O. haven't
been; but as general conversation with comparative strangers-wen,
they're certainly counterfeit currency, which only the obligation OF po-
Stories involving for their o apprehension much knowledge of any

people who do not possess that knowledge, are another. variety of bad

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 81, 1910.
WHERE THE PEOPLE RULE.

1t is evident to anyone who has
watched the outcome of the repub-
lican primaries throughout the
country that direct nominations are
slmost the sole medium through
which the people can maintain rep
resentative government. Through
out the West, where the direct
primary is used giving the people
the right to nominate their own
candidates for office, including con-
gressmen and United States senators,
the bosses have been defeated, Can
nonism has been overthrow and
new and progressive men have been
nominated In place of the old stand
pat representatives who have been
Il easy tools of Cannon at Wash
tngton.
: In Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska, and several other states
no boss-owned conventions are held
for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for congress. The people go
to the polls themselves and say
whom they will have to run. AS a
result, men who have stood by
Cannon have been retired. Tawney,
of Minnesota, is the last one to fall.
Senator Burrows a close follower
of AIdrich in the senate, is retired in
Michigan. The story is the same
from all sections where the people
had the direct primary to aid them
in their fight for true representative
government.
We see the contrast in New
Jersey. Here the direct primary
does not extend to the nomination
OF the congressman. We continue
to elect delegates "unpledged' to go
to a convention to name the candi-
date for congress-. AS a result all
the stand-pat congressman are re-
nominated. The only real insurgent,
Congressman Fowler, is turned
down for denomination in the Fifth
district.
That there is much insurgency In
New Jersey is proven by the big
vote polled by Fowler for United
States senator. The contrast be-
tween the sections where the direct
primary is used for nominating con
gressmen and where the old
ton system is still in vogue is most
pronounced. The people rule with
the direct primary. The bosses con-
tinue to control the conventions.
1t is a struggle over this question
that is now stirring New York. The
bosses are bitterly opposed to the
direct nominations and they are
fighting to the last ditch against it.
