 Third: The change of political ma- cEinery to meet the conditions of a new age: the effort to secure direct primaries. direct legislation, direct vote for United States Senators, new char ters for cities. and so on.
 In every State, MT. Baker says, "these are the vital questions, though in one State one phase will be upper most in the public attention, and in another State quite another phase. The emphasis in New York just now is upon the direct primary, in New Hampshire the problem centres in the equalization of taxation. in Massachu- setts the tariff and railroad monopoly have been uppermost. But all the conflicts lead back to the problem of the control of wealth: how far it shall be private. or how far cooperative. And everywhere the people are finding out that consolidated capital (which knows neither party nor locality) can not be met piecemeal as in city, or dealt with by any one State, but must be met by the entire force of the peo- pie working together harmoniously as a nation.'
 The East has always called the West radical. ' and yet, says MT. Baker, when made inquiries in New Eng land, New York and New Jersey I found the people fighting exactly the same fight that has been going on for so long in the West, and taking ex- actly the position upon public ques- tions for which the West has been ac- cused of raficalism."

 That's the way the two Ohio Con- gressiona1 generals are talking about each other. Keller is Republicans; Sherwood a Democrat. Both are over seventy, and according to their blo- graphies in the Congressional Direc- tory each fought his way from the ranks to the top notch of military sIorv through seas of Conferedate gore. Every once in while General Keller arises on the floor of the House to attack the military record of General Sherwood. Then, as soon as he can secule recognition, old General Sher- wood comes back, hammer and tongs' in the effort to prove that kelfer as general was a rank imitation.

 This is the advertisement that the Ohio Congressman contemplates ln- sertine in the Washington newspapers, for Mrs. Longworth-Miss Alice Roose- welt that was-insists that the dear little marmosets must find another boarding house. Until a few days ago they were the star boarders at the Iongworth home, and they expressed the wish might have had nectar and ambrosia for drink and food. But, they acted out as the stage profes- sionals say in most scandalous manner one evening last week, and as punishment are to be banished hence and the farther hencer the better the I,ongworths will like it.
 Marmosets are dear little monkeys that wear side whisl1ers. They are also unusually agile monkeys unusu- ally sudden monkeys, as several of the guests at a Longworth evening party are now ready to testify. The party was getting along beautifully the oth- CT night when the marmosets project ed their dear little whiskery forms in- to the drawing room. There was screa m, a scramble, some cuss words from the startled gentlemen, and the room seemed to be full of zoology. There were really only two monkeys in the party's midst but the ladies and

The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion suggestion. in connection with the measure now pending in Congress, that the prohibition of the acquisition of competing lines by railroads. be .'extended so as to prohibit the ac- quiring of any interest in a compet- ing water line". is important. though perhaps too late to affect freighting interests in this section where the rail- road already holds enough of compet- irng water lines to prevent any mater ia1 lessening of freight rates. But the suggestion would. if adopted by Con- gress. prevent absorption of compet- ing water lines which may hereafter be established. Here in Bridgeport, the principal obstacle in the way of new water lines is the difficulty of se- curing adequate and convenient dock age. the railroad having. with it's usual foresight aided by the chronic somno- 1ence of the city. obtained control of nearly all the desirable dock front.

At no time within memory have the Irish members of the British Parlia- ment held such position of want age as at present. With the aid of the Conservatives. who do not desire to cripple the government by any withholding of supplies, Premier As quith may succeed in carrying the budget through. but this is by no means a certainty. The Irish mem bers have steadily contended that the first action should be directed toward depriving the. House of Lords of it's veto power which has always blocked all home rule measures. but the Pre- mier decided to push the budget for ward. Irish Leader Redmond inter- prets this as meaning that. with the budget out of the way. the House of Lords will feel itself wholly free to oppose any lessening of it's rights, and to thus enforce a new election.
 This, would. mean that Irish home rule cannot De secured at the present session, despite the fact that. aside from the budget, the government can- not pass any measure without Irish aid. A new election which apparent " must come within few weeks. will quite probably strengthen the party now in power as we'll as the Irish vote for the Conservatives doubtless exerted more influence at the recent election than they can ever again con- tro1, and the popular anger over the failure to reform the House of Lords, will probably lessen materially the Conservative vote.

Close confinement, with impure

disastrous results sooner or later. Ex-
posure to storms and cold Is equally
injurious to the health and profit of

sion for moderate exercise in the open
air and sunshine, and the application
of the same common sense care for
the comfort of COWS which one would
approve for members of his own
household.
Every member of the herd, young
or old, should pass under the critical
eye of the owner or his trusty assist

The least symptom of disorder, like
dulness, loss Of appetite, rough coat

receive the attention which 1t de-

green woodwork in one of the restful
sage-green tints, the walls papered In
a plain cartridge paper, with frieze
of stray vines, all in different shades
of the same cool color. The wicker fur
niture is finished in a forest green
stain and the carpet is covered with
a green and white rug of fine, joint

tains hang at the windows with
straight-falling draperies of liberty

four feet high stands at the head of
the bed. 1t is straight column resting
on a square block base, the futed
finish outlined in green. 1t holds a
large green wax candle, at the side OF
which is little holder for a box of
matches. Other fittings of the room
carry out the green and white scheme,
and as the apartment faces the south,
the effect has been to temper its high
light and contribute a restfully sub.

YUST for the heads of youth and
loneliness, one of that small CON-
y pany of designers who make Paris

has given to us these three things of
beauty for the summer girl. They
look so simple! And they are in real
ity only broad-brimmed leghorn and
hemp shapes with plumes and ribbon,
or flowers and ribbon, for garniture.
But their simplicity is only seeming.
1t Is the result of deep study of
lines by a gifted artist It is like
the simplicity Of a perfectly plain and
perfectly fitted, tailored coat, a thing
difficult of achievement.
These broad brims, droop and lift,
flowing about the face and head in
lines that make us wonder and envy,
not at their own sweet will, but by
the careful calculation of the mind
that planned them. They are, in
deed, fitted to the face and head. They
compel us to note how they silhouette
an exquisite profile, or point to the
fine line Of the eyebrows, or play up
the depth Of the eyes or veil half the
pretty face in mystery.
On the broad brimmed leghorn with
black velvet facing, mass Of deli
cate tulle roses and a curious lily in
black velvet are banked against the
crown The brim, dropping gradually
at the left, is so wide that it throws
the entire profile, including the beau
tiful throat, and the neck, into high
relief. The girl who chooses this must
