Fashions In Winters.
Severe winters are called ''old fash
toned" for no reason apparently ex-
cepting that In some sections; they are
comparatively: rare, and one must;hark
back ten or twenty; years for = r1ezttzl-
lei. The fact is that. tough: winters
have never been the fashion in those
regions which find one exceptionally
severe now and then. Two Or three to
a generation Is about the Hunt, and
that has: been: the rule for centuries.
The record Of cold weather during
the nineteenth century was analysed
a few years ago, and it. transpired that
there was no regularity about it and
nothing to show that old Boreas takes
to fashions. Cold winters didn't come in
groups, nor did open winters always
come as the sequences Of cold ones, and
vice versa. Cold, heat and rainfall keep
up an average, and If rain doesn't fall
in other seasons Of the year it
is likely to come when the thermome-
ter is around the blizzard mark. That
makes tough weather; but it Is Just as
modern as anything going.

such recommendation coming

Sooner or later republican editors

The fact that however honest Mr.. Taft

Leader of the "0Id Guard" in
New York State Lets Loose
a BroadSide at the Former
President

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-There was a
sharp exchange between Colonel Roose-
Welt and James A. Barnes. Jr., leader
of the so-called old guard. In a publish
ed statement Mr.. Barnes said:
mo amount of political maneuvering,
use of patronage or personal abuse can
I'm the slightest degree obscure the one
issue which must be fought out to a fin
ish at Saratoga.
There will be determined the future
of the Republican party in the state
of New York for some years to come.
That party must determine in it's plat
form whether IL will be recognized as a
conserving force, or whether 1T will fol-
low the radical policies of Mr.. Roosevelt
and close in the strategic position which
il has held in the state of New York for
many years as the party of sanity
and protector of industry, upon which
the world of business and labor must
depend.
"If It does not hold to it's time-hon-
ored and successful principles, but seek
for new Gods to worship, It's mistake

had never faced a crisis so fundamental
to its existence such as 1t must meet

When Mr.. Barnes statement was
shown to Colonel Roosevelt, the latter
dictated the following comment:

DEMOCRATS NAME WILSON
FOR GOVERNOR OF STATE
President of Princeton Re-
CeiveS the Nomination-Re-
suit Came on First Ballot

TRENTON, N j.. Sept. 16.-Today's
New jerseys Democratic state conven-
ton nominated Dr. Woodrow Wilson,
president of PrincetonN University, for
the office of governor OF the state.
DIR. Wilson'S nomination was brought
about largely through the influence of
former United States Senator James
Smith, Jr.. of Essex county who is the
undisputed Democratic leader of the
state, who seconded his nomination, and
Robert Davis, leader of the Hudson De-
mocracy, who, for the first time in many
years, acted in harmony with Senator
Smith. u @ 81 ,s ~, (. q.
Besides this support, DIR, Wilson had
with him a number of Independent Dem
ocrats who believed that because of his
standing as an educator he would make
an unusually strong candidate
HOW HE WAS NAMED
Dr. Wilson was nominated on the first
ballot and received 40 more votes than
was necessary to nominate him. Frank
s. Katzenbach, Jr., who was the Demo-
cratic candidate three years ago and who
was not a candidate this time, although
urged by his home county, was a favor
lite with individual delegates and received
nearly 400 votes In the convention.
other candidates voted for were State
Senator George s. Siiser and Mayor OF
to Wittpenn, of Jersey City.
The total vote was tabulated before
the counties moved to make II unanimous
and showed: Wilson, TAT 1-2; Katzenbach,
373; Silser, 210; Wittpenn, IS 1-2; Sheriff
William Harrigan, of Essex, 8.
The platform adopted was in line
with the Democratic platform of three
years ago, except that it was more
nR
ures, including the comforting of rate
making power upon the present public
utilities commission.
The platform declared, among other
things, that the Republican party
through the present tariff law, Is large
ly responsible for the high cost or
living and demands an intelligent re-
vision downward. The platform also
demands a federal corrupt practices
act and for the election of United States
senators by popular vote.
ACCEPTANCE OF WILSON.
DR.. Wilson, after his nomination and
acceptance, made an address which was
highly pleasing to the delegates. After
saying that the platform was sound,
explicit and busnness-like, DR.. Wilson
said:
There are three great questions be-
fore the people-reorganizatfo and
economy in administration, equalization
of taxation and the control of cor
porations.
Other important questions are tho
proper liability of employers, the ques-
ton of corrupt practices in elections
and the question of conservation:
Our system of government should
not be necessarily complicated ana
elaborated and there should not be too
many separate commissions and
boards"
Referring to, taxation, DIR. Wilson
said.
"Our system Of taxation is ill-digest-
ed. piecemeal and haphazard. This
system should not be changed TOO
radically, but the whole system should
be carefully reconsidered and altered
in such a manner as to fit economic
conditions" .. -

WOMAN IN SMASHUP

to figure in the first aeroplane smash
up engineered by woman at the avia-

country.
this morning for an initial trial which,
with beginners, consists of what is
known as "grass-cutting' or Swimming
the field. She had gone perhaps a mile
when suddenly she ran into depression
and came to grief.
The nose OF the machine was damned
into the ground. Mrs. Raische was
thrown out, the machine falling on top
OF her. She scrambled out from under
the wreck and ran, limping somewhat,
to shut finer motor, which was still
running at full speed. The machine was

PuckerIess Persimmons
washington Star

Puckerless persimmons are now being
experimental with by the department OF
agriculture In the hope that they may
be added to the list of valuable Ameri-
can fruits. The experiments are being
carried on both in Washington and In
the south, the first to take the quicker
out of otherwise desirable persimmons.
and the second to grow persimmons
that have no pucker to take out.
The persimmon has been problem
with the department for many years,
There are some big varieties that look
almost like tomatoes and that make a
beautiful spoon fruit when they are
ripe, but they cannot be taken to mar
ket afr they get ripe, because then
they are too soft to transport. The re-
suit has been that many OF the citrus
fruit dealers who handle them have
come to look upon them largely as a
table decoration. Great, luscious look
ing permission are shipped, nicely
wrapped in tissue paper, and sometimes
on the wrapper the packer prints a eau
ton to the consumer to keep the per-
simmon until 1t is ripe and sort. But
the consumer does not. and there is an
other enemy added to the long list of
people who think the big persimmon is
a delusion.
There is another problem on which
the department worked at one time ami
that was the production OF a seedless
persimmon. A tree of this sort was dis.
covered outside of Washington on {
Maryland farm, and 1t was thought If
the seedless variety could be grated on
some of the native trees that a new
fruit would be produced that in its way
would equal the seedless orange. Moth
ing ever came of this experiment but
among the varieties of the big persim-
mon that have been introduced from
China there is one that is seedless and
that may be raised into a fruit that will
I'LL long felt want.
