I new how to mix and cook that one
time staple Wand of our Nation. He
asks for instruction, complaining that
all the cookbook recipes ''are doped up
with corn meal or potato water or some
other eXtraneous matter"
Are we 50 far away from the tradi-
tional standards of our Nation that in
the metropolis of the Nation a natural
and even patriotic longing for the gen
ulne thing in the line of buckWheat
cakes must go unsatisfied for lack of
knowledge as to how to make them?
Next to the pumpkin pie of our grand
mothers the buckwheat cakes were the
peculiarly American staple for winter
breakfasts. They were frugal, filling
and toothsome. True, they might,
after persistent indulgence, be followed
by tendency to irritation of the
cuticle. But that slight drawback was
only an attendant of their signal and
indigenous virtues.
When I'VE learn that a buckwheat
cake longing is unslacked because a
family is destitute not of materials but
of knowledge Of the traditional Ameri-
can cookery we are led to inquire how
much of the high cost of living is to be
charged to the failure of housewives to
learn the cookery of their mothers and
grandmothers. People in that strait
should seek the instruction of the old
fashioned cook books. Certainly, the
modern heretics who dope up buck
wheat cakes with corn meal or potato
water commit a culinary offense sur
passed only by those that make pump
kin pies with an unsatisfying and
fraudulent substitution of Hubbard
squashes for the pumpkin.

WHAT A MEMBER OF THE LE6lS-
LATuRE SHOULD BE.

The concern among members of the
Legislature over the appointment of
employees and the rebellion which
threatens if the Governor,pushes econo-
my to such an extent as to prevent each
member from having at least one job to
hand to constituent indicates that the
rank and file is not yet ready to follow
any such idealistic program. THE
boys'..are still casting sleeps eyes at
the loaves and fishes.
A few days ago at meeting of scien-
fists and scholars Governor Hughes of
New York delivered an address upon
the relation of the scholar to the ad-
ministrator, in the course of which he
thus portrayed Ithe sort of man who
ought to be legislating for the people:
1--WE need in our lawmaking bodies
study. TheI legislator should be stu
dent of the legislation of the past; of
the laws of other countries and of other
States; practical man because he is
dealing with the application of theory
to gactual affairs, but student with
practical duties And | rejoice that we
are drawing more and more to legisla-
tive service men who have had special
training in our schools, and men who
look at the problems of the day in the
light of the experience of the past; men
who can take the long view as well as
the short view"
Up to Ithis writing we have not OBJ
served any special reason at Annapolis
for believing that the ideals portrayed
by GovernorsHughes are crowding US.
Perhaps when the important question
is decided of how much money the mem
bers of the Legislature can yank out of
the StateiTreasury for the faithful, we
shall be able to perceive the improve
ment to which the Governor refers.

HAkMONYSlS LACKING.

All is not quiet on the Potomac, judg-
ing from the dispatches. Both the ex-
ecutive and legislative departments of
the government appear to be stirred up
a good deal and through them the coun-
try at large will be stirred up. Some
of the government officials appear
ready for acrimonious dispute, if not
for fight.
The action of the House in taking to
itself the appointment of the commit
tee to investigate the Ballinger-P inchot
affair, instead of permitting Speaker
Cannon to make the appointments.
shows that the insurgents are ready to
go any length to thwart the Speaker,
and the votes of those who joined the
Democrats in opposing the regulars
show that the feeling against "Uncle
Joe" is wide spread and increasing. A
little while ago the insurgents were
confined to the west, but the vote
against the Speaker at Fridays ses-
sion, shows several from the east. No
serious harm was done in depriving the
Speaker of little authority, but it
must be apparent to those who started
out to subdue the insurgents that their
plan is not working we'll They will
have to do something else beside trying
to shut them out in the cold politically.
The Republican.party of the country is
very large and when its members are
united and harmonious it can do things,
but if it 81 ould be divided about the
middle, it would not be very formidable.
Harmony among the Republican law
makers can hardly be spelled with a
capital letter just now.
The President had but one course

whether each is right in part and

is an unfortunate condition which con-
fronts the administration. 1t is posi-
bic that the easiest and best way out of
the muddle would be found in Secretary
Ballinger's resignation If the report
of the congressional committee vim
dicates him, he would be in as strong a
position out of the office as in it. In
the meantime, while the belligerents
are pausing and looking over the battle

they may think of way to get to-
gether and work tremendously IN the

a location for the septic tanks and
filter beds had been practically de-
cided upon in the northwest section

and were in tangible form for presen-
tation
The question Of water was then

poses He said that there would be
plenty for all purposes. He further re-
newed his proposition to the city to
take over the distribution plant, he

TIGER HUNT ON sHIPsoARp.

New York. Oct. 25.-The crew of the
liner Minnewaska, in from London.
had a thrilling yarn to tell of a tiger
hunt which took place on board the
ship on her last eastward passage.
The Minnewaska carried part OF a me
nagerie on her lower deck forward
Among the animals was fine Bengal
tiger. Members Of the crew noticed
that the tiger was in a bad temper
Frequently he hurled himself against
the bars with violence that made
the sailors uneasy.
All went well, howeer, until the Sat
urday after the liner sailed. when.
shortly after o'clock in the morning.
Il was discovered that the tiger had
escaped from his cage.
The crew, who we're washing down
the decks. hastened to points of safety
forward and aloft. Passengers. awak-
ened by the roaring from the lower
decks buried themselves in their
berths. The animal keepers staff was
hurriedly assembled and armed with
guns, revolvers and iron bars TO re-
capture the beast before he did any
damage.
After searching the dimly lighted
lower deck for some minutes. the
keepers discovered the tiger by the
glare Of his eyes In a stall back OF the
sacred Indian COW. A great cash was
