The reasons for this are two: Tn
first and most important, as far a
the politicians are concerned, is tn
new primary Law which viii meet it
FIRST test in this state this year. Tit
second is the workings of congress
and the division of members in th.
majority party on some of the great
est issues of the present time. AL
the members of the house Of repre-
sentatives being elected every two
years. the duty falls to those who
are aspiring for a reelection to show
the people that they have been true
to their trusts Owing to the great
dissatisfaction throughout the entire
country at the present time, this duty
becomes exceedingly arduous for
those this summer and fall Who wish
to be returned to congress
Due to the unsettled political con-
ditions, many reforms have been
promised and some have been at
tempted and while many are needed
the people are inclined at this time
to think that honest officials, officials
who have ability and Who are not
seeking the Office solely for the
spolls they can obtain from said
Office, are demanded stronger than
some of the reforms. You may call
this a reform and may not be far of
when you do so, as it has been some
time In many cases since an Official
has been selected who would meet
these requirements, yet in reality
this is only returning to the sort of
administrations that we're given to
the counties, states and nation by
both political parties IN years past.
The salaries paid to officials in
nos' instances are no more than

Eddie Cameron Smallest Newsboy, Doesn't
"Own" Corner-He's Travelling Salesman

Eddie Cameron, the smalle st
member of the Newsboys' union,
Is a familiar person on Pacific
avenue and other business streets
Eddie doesn't "own" any particu-
lar corner as most of the other
boys do, so he is really travelling
salesman.
And he is a pretty good sa-es-
man at that, for every night he
disposes of from seventy to eighty
papers, while travelling up aui
down the streets lodging the ter
ritory owned" by other boys.
Eddie regularly takes out sixty
five copies of the Times and his
sales seldom drop below that
number. He sells five copies of
the Times to one of any other
paper, his average sales usually
being sixty copies of the Times
and six copies of each of the 9TH
er afternoon papers.
Eddie's business is just about
half as large as that of John Daw-
son, the star newsboy, who sells
100 copies of the Times every
night and twenty copies of each
of the other afternoon papers.
Some day Eddie expects to "buy'
a regular corner and then he will
challenge Dawson for the champ
ionship.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March
16.-While on the way from the
White House to the Union sta
ton to start on his trip to Chi
cago today, President Taft twice
narrowly avertcd being involved
in accidents.
While going down New York
avenue at a good rate of speed,
the car came near running down
a woman who had walked directly
in front of it. The president OBJ
served the danger and the chauf-
feur acted quickly. The car was
brought to a sudden stop, and the
woman's skirt touched the tire OF
one of the front wheels.
Five blocks farther on the way
to the station, a collision with a
street car was narrowly arevted.
Again the quick action of the
chauffeur saved the president from
possible accident and delay.
