THE COLONEL'S RETURN

Roosevelt has spoken and his views
are similar to what they were prior
to his defeat through the coalition
formed between the disgruntled re-
publican bosses Of New York and
Tammapy hall. He still believes that
this should be "a government of the
people, by the people for the peo-
ple"; that the government should
control the corporations and that the
corporations should not be allowed to
run the government.
1t is evident that the colonel con-
siders himself still in the fight and
will not quit simply because his can
didate for governor of New York was
not elected. And Roosevelt will win
out, too. Watch him. He may never
be president again. He probably does
not want to run for president again.
But his ideas will be accepted for
they are sound. He voices a senti-
ment that is now nation wide and has
been called the progressive spirit.
AS to the colonel's desire to see a
radical program carried out by con-
.servatives there are some who wifi
say that it would be just as well to
have a conservative program carried
out by radicals. There would not be
much difference. But as matter of
fact neither of the big parties may
now be truly classed as either radical
or conservative. Both parties are di-
vided into radical and conservative
factions. At this time the democratic
party seems to be swinging towards
conservatism while the insurgents
seem about to capture the republican
party. Both parties are looking for
ward to the next presidential election
and from appearances there will be
few actual differences between the
two parties when that time arrives.

THEIR FIRST TRYOUT.

Within a few weeks after having
been granted the right to vote the wo-
men of Spokane will have to par
ticipate in a spirited election. The
people of Spokane are to vote upon
the commission plan of government
and some other questions are also in
volved.
1.-The question involved is not one
of politics, but primarily one of the
home" says the Spokesman-Review
Upon the result OF the election de-
pends to a considerable extent the
sort of city that Spokane is to become.
THE many elements which go to
make up the environment of a city
are largely determined by the nature
OF it's government. If the dive keep
er and the CRATER and the corrupt
power, that government is bad. II
they are held in check and kept from
power, that government is good.
THE opportunity is now presented
to the women Of Spokane to decide
whether they wish bad government or
good government, whether they want
their children brought up in an en-
vironment which is determined by the
people, or by the politicians.

An Extraordinary Shower.

Daniel o'Connell, the Irish agi-
tator, once complained in the house
of commons of a report Of a speech
in a London newspaper which, he
said, put into his mouth opinions
he had never expressed. He vowed
that if the editor did not apologize
he would move that he be brought
to the bar for a breach of privilege.
Next day the reporter of the speech
waited upon O'Connell and gave a
most remarkable explanation. He
stated that during his walk from
the house to his Office in Fleet
street the rain streamed into his
pockets and obliterated the notes of
his speech.
81 accept the explanation" said
O'Connell good humoredly, 'tbut let
me say that it must have been a
very extraordinary shower of rain,

notebook the speech / delivered,

ly different character"

H,NDoo COOKING.
All the Mutrment In Vegetables Saved
by Cooks In India.

All the Nutriment In Vegetables Saved
by Cooks In India.
In India it is literally a case of
being vegetarian or starving, for
the Hindoos of Hindustan, taking
them almost as whole, are enjoin-
ed by their religion to abstain from
eating meat. They are not allowed
even to open the she'll of an egg,
because by so doing they would de-
stroy the life within it.
Thus they are compelled to sub
sist on a vegetarian diet or 60 hum
cry. But if the cooks Of India
were to prepare their vegetables for
the table as do the women of Amer
lea, writes st. Nihal Singh in the
Nautilus, it is certain that the Hin
docs would be meat eaters. 1t
would be impossible for them to
live on a vegetarian diet.
This for an essential reason. The
American cook boils all the flavor
as we'll as the vitality out of the
vegetables and throws it away. The
occidental cook declares this opera
ton is necessary, as the flavor Of
the vegetable is too strong and pro-
nounced if the water is not drained
away from it. Be that as it may,
the result is that the food has lost
much Of its nutriment and is USE
less to build up or sustain the body.
Moreover, the boiling process rem
ders the dish more or less insipid in
flavor.
The East Indian cook works on
a directly opposite principle. The
woman Of India is taught that the
food must be cooked in its own
steam or with just enough water to
generate steam to cook it, and ev-
cry drop Of moisture must be evap-
grated before the food is served IN
less it is to be eaten with gravy
or shorba. in which case a small
quantity Of liquid is allowed to re-
| mann on II.
But as a usual thing not a drop
Of water is drained away. This
would be looked upon as positively
sacrilegious and wasteful by the
East Indians. The American throws
away as useless every day what
would keep an East Indian family
from starvation.
This fact was demonstrated wher
during siege the Indian soldiers
requested that the water in which
the rice was cooked alone should bt
issued to them. while the rice Itself
might be served to the English sol
diers. This was done, and the ma
tive scpoys apparently were as vel
fed as their white brothers.

An old stork's nest built on the
roof Of the Cathedral of Colmar,
in northern France, became dis
lodged and threatened to fall into

across, and it was four feet high.
1t weighed 1900 pounds and was
such a compact mass that to de-
stroy it picks had to be used. In
the nest were found seventeen
stockings, five fur caps, the sleeve
Of a silk blouse, a large piece Of
leather and four metal buttons.
