We often wonder how far some
pieces travel in the course of a
few years Last week the Oak
ley Graphic and the Russell Re
former each printed a piece that
sounded familiar We looked
the matter up and found that it
appeared in the Village Deacon
of the Farmer more than three
years ago. It was credited to
the Caldwell News by the Crap
hic and Reformer. 1t has un-
doubtedly been going the rounds
these three years. Where the
Caldwell man got it we do not
know, but it's a cinch he stole it.

You occasionally hear someone
say that the primary election law
is to be repealed. But don't get
the idea into your head that it
ever will be. The newspapers
are all for it, because it is a
source of great revenue to them.
The moneyed interests are for it;
the rich men like Stubs are for
it; the poor men are for it, be.
cause it gives the people" a
chance. The. politicians control
just the same with the primary
as with the old convention sys-
TEN. You frequently read about
how the people are now running
politics because we have the pri
mary, but such talk is only to
throw dust in the eyes of the
people. The politicians are run
ming politics because it is their
profession and they work at it
all the time. We have all kinds
of reform in Kansas now and
taxes are higher than ever before
known. Reform is very expen-
sive. Had the Stubbs machine
got through all the reform it at
tempted, taxes would be still
higher. Ninety per cent of the
new laws enacted were put in
force to catch votes.

Of long series Of conferences be-

Difficulties Antiei pated.
For a considerable period 1t has
been realized that the increasing traf-

was likely to render control over rates
In the future action were taken. The
ternational action were taken. The
acquisition by American railroads Of
Canadian terminals and by Canadian
railroads of American terminals and
lines present increasing difficulties. In
the existing circumstances neither an
American nor a Canadian carrier may
be required to furnish shipper a

In one country to any point in the
other.
The reasonableness Of the interna.
tional rates which ordinarily are a
combination of the rates local to each
country can be determined only by q
proceeding instituted before the COM
missions of both countries.
No power at present exists that can
require carriers engaged in interna-
tional transportation to establish what
may be regarded officially as reason
able through joint rates.
Out of this situation grew the idea
Of the creation of an international
commission which should have super
visory control over the railways and

Earliest Glass Making.

The manufacture OF glass dates
from the earliest times, and no doubt
originated with the Egyptians, as the
Oldest known specimens are those
found in the tombs of Egypt, and the
earliest mention of it dating back tc
5000 B. G.. has been found in inscrip
tions of that country. After the
Egyptians, the ancient people most
renowned for glass-making were the
Phoenicians, and the legend Of that
people concerning the discovery of the
art has been often told. Certain
Phoenician traders, it is said, return
ing to their homes in ship laden
with natron or soda, and being com
pelled to land on sandy tract on the
Syrian coast, in building fire on the
sand to prepare their supper, placed
their cooking pots on Jumps of soda,
The sand and the soda were both
melted by the heat of the fire and
flowing together formed substance
new to the sailors, but recognized by
them as of probable value. Thus, says
the tradition, was the manufacture OF
glass discovered. But, as the heat Of
the driftwood fire would hardly fuse
sand, it has been said that this story
only proves that the art of glass
making was very ancient.-House'
