hiking over muddy road this
morning as constitutional. Al

inches in spots on account of yes

After a rub down Jeffries went

First and last, fully 100000 peo-

For the most primitive accommo-

ing the lavishness with which the

this loss was more than made up

Now economy in fuel does not mean to wrap SOL asbestos around the
pipe and overt this asbestos with wrapping paper. and then try to make you
believe the stove is a fuel saver by pointing to the unscorched wrapping paper as
evidence of fuel saving. Economy n fuel means how many buckets of coalw will
it burn when you are Using it in your kitchen.
Durability is not pounding on a maneabe top with a hammer. It is how
long will this range last doing your work in your kitchen. Will it warp? Will
it crack? Will it buckle? Wilt break?
High class ranges are made with maleabe tops and gray iron tops. The
maleabe tops belong to the class where the top is fused as a talking point. To
open up avenues of thought, if maneabs iron has heat resisting qualities, as
makers of maneabe ranges claim it has, why do not they uset t in CRATES and
Innings of their ranges, or opsof hotel ranges. Surely this is where tho great
est heat resisting iron should be used. They do not dare to make these castings
Of maneable iron, as the ame would not last any length of time; consequently,
they use gray iron where the heat is greatest proving it to be the best.
Perhaps the most expensive piece of heat producing machinery made is
the locomotive. If you will examine the CRATES Of a locomotive you will find
them tobe made of gray iron.
The purpose, therefore, of amaneabe top range is t. us maneabe top to
sell you the range. Does it not necessarily follow that if it is better to make
CRATES and fire boxes Of gray iron, that the purpose of range whose tops arr
made Of grey iron is the purpose of durability.
Ask your blacksmith which will warp the quickest, maNeable OF cast iron.
Get posted on what you ire asked to buy.
xPerhchng cooking qualities mean will the stove cook good, wholesome
food right with you handling the stove? Not only in the hands of an expert
who has been trained to the stove, but can you take the stove and put it in your
house and get perfectly satisfactory results. The baking of a sponge cake
upon (which even 1000 pound weight IAN be placed, and then the cake raise
again, does not tell anything SO far as the baking qualities of a stove is
concerned. 1t merely tells nhe story Of formula. It has this powes within
itself; the cake could be baked just as well n a dutch oven, as any other
oven.

The next purpose of a range list that of convenience. Usually, you buy a.
range with a reservoir. AS nearly as 1 can figure it out, about 95 percent of the
people of this country are rghthanded; 5 percent are lefthanded. Therefore,
it necessarily follows that the proper place for the reservoir iso on the right hand
of The range, from the standpoint of convenience. From another standpoint, it.
is very inconvenient for ones hand to cor in contact with the sharp corner of a
stove door. You are very apt to do this where you have a warming closet using
a drop oven door. Does it lot necessarily follow that the purpose Of the range
you want, from the standpoint of convenience, should be to have the oven ON the
right hand of the stove and a roll warming closet door instead offs drop
warming closet door. 1 re 49,. e ,Mf .t ..~
The purpose of many ranges is to have snehaf talking points, and the,

I have digwssed somewhat in order to make my point clear, but the

The first purpose of the range from the standpoint of the maker is to be
sold. The other purposes vary as much as the intentions of the maker.

GRINDING IT OUT.

The mills of the gods grind slow
Iy' but they grind sure as we'll as
small. For years the people of the
United states have been wanting di-
rect election of senator's; for years
many of the best informed men have
been advocating a tariff commission.
But both of these great reforms have
been delayed by the standpatters.
Now we seem in line to secure both.
Before the senate there is a resolution
calling for a constitutional amend
ment providing for direct election Of
senators. There is a good opportunity
for the measure to pass, strange as
this may seem. If the resolution is
adopted by the senate then the long
fight for direct election of senators
will be completely won. Until now
the senate mas been the great stumbl-
ing block But if the resolution is
not adopted now it will be adopted
later because in time the majority of
senators viii be men who have been
elected by popular vote under the
Oregon system or some modification
o. that system. Such senator's favor
direct elections.
a victory is also in sight for the
tariff commission plan. Men who for
merly opposed the plan are now
openly for it. President Taft is for
commission and is using his influ-
ence towards securing a commission.
Senator Lodge, dyen-in-the-wool pro-
tectionists, has also Joined the ranks
of commission advocates and lastly
OF all comes Senator Aldrich with a
promise that the finance committee
will report a bill providing for the
establishment of tariff commission.
This means that the tariff commits
sion advocates are making progress
1t does not mean that the fight Is
won-the victory is only in sight. The
sort Of tariff commission Aldrich and
Lodge would devise would probably
not please true progressives like
Cummins. Aldrich and Lodge will
favor a commission that would have
little power while the progressives
would ike TO see a commission that
could really accomplish something
But the very fact that the standpat-
ters are changing front upon the
question Of tariff comission and up
on the subject Of the direct election
Of senators shows that the people arc
having their way and ultimately will
have their way completely.
The wheels turn slowly but surely

Across the painted desert,
Toward the burning skies,
From plains of phantom verdure
Their purple peaks arise.
The mist along their SUBMITS
a scarf Of silver trails,
from cliff to cliff the waters
Flung down their foamy wells.
From Arizona's furnace
OF arid sands and stones,
And dusty cactus gardens
Strewn thick with bleaching bones
The traveller at sunrise
Beholds their ramparts gay,
Ana seeks their cooling sha lows
To see them fade away.
Ghost mountains of the mesas,
No living foot can cliMb
Their canyons bright with blossoms
Or lodges dark with thyme. 30
For there the desert victims,

dry are taking the same course. Peo-
pie everywhere are determined that
the saloonmen shall not regain their
old timG power in business and in
political circles.
In the large cities also the big stick
OF moral reform is being waved above
the heads of the saloonkeepers and
the people who represent them. In
Spokane the saloon question is the
principal thing at issue in the COM
ing charter election. The commission
plan of government is proposed for
Spokane and if it is adopted the re-
sponsibility for the control of the sa-
looms will be definitely fixed upon
certain officials and they will have
to make the saloons be good. In
Tacoma and other cities that have
adopted the commission form of gov
ernment the saloons have little say in
affairs.
In Seattle just now the mayor is
facing a recall election and the chief
Of police is fighting for his official
life because those men have been with
the open town" element. In Port
land also the chief of police is in
trouble upon the same score.
All of these things merely prove
that people will not permanently en-
dure conditions that are wrong. They
wont stand for graft and they wont
stand for a saloon system that breeds
intemperance and misery and fosters
crime. At least healthy minded peo-
pie wont.
1t is all off with the CRATER, the
dive and the divekeeper.

A WEAKLING'S PLEA.

Over at Ritzville, Washington, n
man is on trial for having murdered
a young woman and the defense is
arguing that he should be excused be-
cause prenatal influences were re-
sponsible for his crime. Quite likely
the plea has some foundation. No
murder is ever committed without be-
ing prompted by some influence often
beyond the control of the murderer.
But people should learn to control
themselves despite such influences.
L might help others to overcome pre-
natal influences if the Ritzville jury
would order Holland hung.

CHILDREN OF THE POOR.

The little children of the poor before
the window stand;
Iife's paths at last have led them to
see the Promised Land;
There's light and life and glory where
all the windows glow,
They wonder, too, why Santa Claus
forgets poor children so.
Each toy in the windows
Seems like a sparkling gem,
But the little children of the poor
They were not meant for them.
Yet sweet it is to view them, and
some may take their cause;
Some pitying angel passing may whis-
per Santa Claus;
May whisper, as through crowded
streets the poor, sad children
go,
And Santa-he'n be sorry he forgets
the children so.
For, the toys in the windows
Each seem a sparkling gem,
But the little children of the poor
They were not meant for them.
