ent, and had all voted except the dele gate who was observed by some of the tellers to pass by the box without casting any ballot.''
 MT. Moves who picked up a ballot, as above stated, has also made pub lie statement, in which he says:
 In the midst of the excitement which waged when the final situation was known and when various people were clustered around and near Chairman
 Hill I slipped my hand into an outer pocket of the sack coat which was that seemed about the size of a bal lot. I had not to my knowledge taken any ballot from any one. cannot tell how it came in my pocket but it was there. I drew my hand out with the piece of paper in it, looked at it and saw it was another Goodwin bal lot. I involuntarily exclaimed. Here is that ballot we found now" Con- gressman Hill immediately called my attention to the fact that I had all ready given him the ballot, which I, of course, knew, but on the impulse of finding that ballot in my pocket in voluntarily called his attention to it:
 The Courant's comment is as fol- lows:
 There seems to be no denial of a few significant facts. When an ex- tra ballot would have given cause for protest MT. Moves found one. When MT. Hill confiscated that. another was found by MT. Baldwin, and then f'in the excitement MT. Moves found an- other a Goodwin ballot. in his own pocket, though he had been working for Lake.
 Another significant fact'' is that all three of the ballots found, were for Goodwin. The Courant evidently be- lieves that the two ballots found on the floor were intended to give cause for protesting the vote but one was first seen. not by Moves who was a Lake man, but by 'fan officer of the convention, and the second by MT Baldwin. MT. Moves discovery of a third in his pocket is negligible point.
 One ballot disappeared between the first and second counts. and two were found on the floor where none had been before the counting began: even with one ballot lost between the counts, the total was one in excess of the proper number, for one delegate did not vote.
 It is a very singular matter. involv- ing ba1lot-box stuffing and perhaps attempted invalidation of the first vote of the convention.

.THosE EXTRA BALLOTS" AGAIN


 'HThose extra ballots'' in last weeks Republican State convention is a topic which is still being discussed. Alfred c. Baldwin of Derby, who was one of the tellers, writes to the Hart ford Courant in explanation of the oc- currence.
 He states that the tel1ers found 296 Goodwin and 285 Lake ballots, a total of 581, or one too many; that previous to recount, "an officer of the con- vention called MT. Moves attention to 3 ballot lying on the floor, back of the counters, which, I understand, MT.

WAS BRIBERY ATTEMPTED ?

What connection, if any, is there be- tween the alleged attempts, and fail nres, of public service corporations agents to bribe Judson delegates to the 18th District Republican Senatorial convention, and the misrepresentation Df Judge Banks name to the conven- tion as a competitor of MT Judson for the nomination? It was known for a week or more previous to the convention date that Judson held a majority of the delegates. and at one lime it was reported that Banks had withdrawn his candidacy, and, later, that he was still, afield. If the re- ports of attempts at bribery are true, they afford an ample explanation not only for the apparent indecision Df Banks at one time. but also for the failure to present his name to the legged attempts at bribery were in pro- be natural: after their alleged failure, his candidacy would be dead.
 The Farmer does not know, and does not a1lege, that there was attempted bribery in the interest of Banks by public service corporations; it is mere ly fitting such a known fact as Banks whiting course to the alleged bribery, with the purpose of finding whether the process makes ia close jofnt.'' That the public service corporations disliked the Judson candidacy, is a virtual certainty; that Banks record in the Legislature upon the public utilities question is unsatisfactory, was charged by Judson, without direct de- niaI; and that these corporations some times pursue their ends by dark and devious ways. has been often as serted. The demand of the Judsonites in the convention for a roll call vote, Indicated a suspicion that some of the Judson delegates might have been tampered with.
 On the other hand, Judge Banks de- nies that he used any money in dele gate-buying, although one delegate of- fered to sell his vote for s10O. He also charges that, according to infor- nation received by him.. money was used against his candidacy in. the pivotal town of Westport, changing the result in the caucus there. He de- c1ares that when Westport men accred- tied to bis support were asked for the reason of their change to Judson, they readily admitted that they had gone back on me and that they had been very well paid for so doing.'' This may explain the Judson demand for roll call vote in the convention, this method being the most practicable for ascertaining whether bought delegates remained bought.
 There seem to be charges. of bribery or attempted bribery on both sides.
 It is nice little row in the Repub- Iican party, with which the only province of a Democratic paper is to present the alleged or apparent con ditions. and to leave rendition of a verdict to the popular jury. Follow ing closely the occurrence of singular conditions in the Republican State con- yention, it may possibly. be considered typical of latter day Republican poli- tics.

Ex-President Roosevelt has never dwelt very extendedly upon the tar if question. He did. however. refer to it, but guardedly. in his Ossawat- onic speech, and this moves Harper's Weekly to congratulate the people up on the fact ''that Col. Roosevelt has Undiscovered the tariff issue" It adds:
 It is now a quarter of a century since the Colonel took leave of that question. In 1885, he withdrew from a Free Trade club to which he had belonged since 1881, giving as his req son that he was ia Republican first and a free-trader afterward.'' From that day until the appearance of a recent Outlook editorial, followed by the speeches at Ossawatonnie and Sioux City and Sioux Falls, Colonel Roose- welt took an extraordinary method to distinguish the tariff from all other public questions. He devoted to it more silence than to any other or all others combined. It was the one sub ject on which he forebore to instruct or lecture anybody So far was he from thrusting his views on it before the public that he fairly outdid him self in denouncing the mendacity of some visitors to the White House who came away and reported a conversa- tion with him on the. subject.

COTTON SEED FLOUR

San Antonio, Texas, April Sin or
der to bring before the general public
the merit of cotton seed flour as a
food, banquet to be given by the
Texas Cotton Seed Crushers' Associa-
ton during their convention in this
city to be held in few days, will al
most entirely consist OF dishes made
from that commodity. The association
recently sent 1000 pounds Of this flour
to the king of England, and Alfonso of
Spain, who are said to be greatly in
terested in this new product.
Cotton seed flour is nothing more
than a high grade cotton meal best
known hitherto as a very fine feed for
milk cattle. Only high grade seed is
used in its manufacture and the only
process it goes through is finer mill
ing and boiling. Those who have eat
en- bread and pastry made from it
claim that cotton flour products are
more easily digested than those made
from ordinary flour and that they have
higher nutritive value. Mixed with
cereal flour it will produce the very
best grade of bread and pastry without
shortening in the form OF lard having
to be added. Although In it's natural
state cotton seed flour is saturated
with oil there is little oil in the flour
when prepared for human consumption
resembling both in color and touch
the product of wheat.
Cotton flour will be very cheap and
for this reason it has engaged the at
tention of food experts and econo-
mists in this country and abroad.

Judge Lindsey Of Denver. friend of
boys founder of the juvenile court. tells
a story that touches the heartstrings.
1t Is about a boy named Tim. aged
thirteen. who would run away from
school.
Though many times admonished by
the judge and arrested for truancy
again and again. the teacher continued
to write to the judge:
Tim will stay out of school to
work."
In one OF his lectures Lindsey i'm
pressed upon the boy the need of edu-
cation and told him there would be
plenty Of time for work when he got
to be a man.
my father was a man." responded
Tim. land he did not work. He went
Off and left me and my mother. and
guess that was what killed her"
Finally one day Tim appeared in
court with n happy face. Waiting un-
til the session was over. he asked the
judge for private interview.
After Lindsey had taken the boy
into his private chambers Tim pulled a
paper out OF his pocket and gave it to
the judge.
Said the boy: "Now. judge. I'm going
to be in school regular. You need not
lecture me any more. I've got that
done"
Lindsey looked at the paper. 1t was
a receipted bill for $50 from a Denver
monument firm for Il headstone.
The judge understood.
He said. my boy. is that what you
have been doing all these months?"
Il wanted to have a monument to
mothers grave. judge" said the poor
orphaned kid. wiping his eyes with
the sleeve Of his ragged coat.
You see. judge. she done lot for
me. That's all can do for her now"
Surely Garfield had the right feeling
when he said he wanted to lift his hat
to every unssmpt urchin he met on
the street because Of the wonderful
possibilities that might lie under the
boys ragged jacket.
Even Lindsey. who knows boys as
few know them. may never quite un-
derstand the motive that led this little
fellow to risk the displeasure of his
best friend. the judge. and submit to
be misunderstood in order to hold to
his affcctionate purpose.
But boys ways are not our ways,
and few there be. like Lindsey. who
are ever permitted glimpse into their
real hearts.
And there is a lot of good in the
bad boy"

Did Difficult Work Well.
Winchester Herald (Rep.)

1t is no easy matter to frame a plat
form that will satisfy everybody and
it is not our purpose or intention to
criticise or find fault with this one.
Senator Beverage seems to have been
in control and he should have been.
in view of the fact that he has more
at stake than any one else. His
speech before the convention was a
most able effort. He fearlessly out
lined the policy that he would have
his party indorse.
