How to Preserve Pineapple.

When preserving pineapple let the
fruit stand overnight in the sugar 1t
is to be put up with. The sugar
draws out the juices of the fruit. and
it is ready to cook the next morning,
usually without the addition Of other
moistening. 1t will only require three
minutes cooking after it has reached
the boiling point. Use two-thirds or
three-quarters of pound of sugar to
every pound Of fruit, according to the
acidity Of the pines" Of course the
sweet sugar loaf pineapple IS the bes,
for preserving.

How to Use the Broom,

Few people handle broom proper

every day of their lives. Always draw
your broom by leaning it forward. be-
cause this allows the dirt to be moved
along more gently and will not raise
much dust. Most sweepers thrust the
broom ahead of them in a sort Of dig

How to Preserve CARPETS,

An excellent way to keep carpets in
good condition is to go over them once
a week with a broom dipped in hot
water to which a little turpentine has
been added This treatment not only
prevents moths. but freshens up the
color of the faded carpet marvelously.
Another advantage is that the dust is
prevented from flying all over the
house. One who tries it will be aston.

things that look radical by way of rem

because state can not be tender with

pressing the inquiry, not because they
entertained any jealousy of those pow
ers, but because, apparently, the states
were not inclined to exercise them,
were lethargic and Indifferent in the
presence of conditions which needed
thoughtful and effective remedy. But
such talk has ceased, the states have
asserted them selves, each state is at
tempting systematic treatment of its
own problems, studying them from the
point of view of its own people, and
adapting the remedy to the circum-
stances. Texas led the way in this

one of the most difficult periods OF our
politics. We are trying nothing less
than to revise our methods OF political
action, while we are in the midst of
a great economic REIMBURSEMENT. Both
our instrumentalities of action and the
objects we employ them to accomplish
are under debate. We are discussing
both what we shall do and what means

Our objects are clear. We want a

[By Associated Press.l -

Dallas, Texas, Oct. Ex-Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey came
to this city today as the guest of the
Dallas County Woodrow Wilson Club
and the Texas State Fair Association.
He spent the morning at the state fair
and this afternoon spoke before dem
ocrats from all over the state assem-
bled in the Coliseum.
Governor Wilson said, in part;
feel very keenly the pleasure and
the stimulation of facing this great
audience, drawn from so many parts
of this imperial state. An audience
that represents Texas, represents a
great deal of what is characteristic o.
the force and initiative of modern
times. Texas seems. from the first, to
have had the capacity and to have
obeyed the impulse of state able to
care for its own people, and to look
forward to the future in the regulation
of its own affairs. All the country
recognizes it as one of the most pro-
gressiye states of the Union, a state
where things move forward from
measure to measure without vacilla-
ton and without fear
1t Is interesting to note in how many
matters now occupying the foreground
of our thought in America Texas has
set a notable example. 1t was in
Texas, for example, that the commits
sion form of government for cities
was originated, a reform which has
gone so far already towards redeem.
ing our cities from their chaos and
misgoyernment.
Texas led the way in railroad reg
ulation. Her railway commission was
one of the very first that established
the method, now accepted everywhere,
for the determination of the relations
between our communities and our pub
lie service corporations.
Some of the men who were promi-
nent in these reforms are gone, nota-
bly,, Governor Hogg, who so truly won

states, but all the country Is now quick
with the new life and America is be-
ginning once again to realize the hap
Ply circumstance that our diversified
conditions can be met without any fu-
tile attempt to apply too uniform
remedy. Our states are our testing
grounds, and they have full power and
authority to make trial Of the rem
edies which commend themselves to
them. In many things it is desirable,
nay imperative, that we should CO.
operate and bring about as nearly as
possible uniform regulation. But in
others we shall be strong only when
we adapt ourselves most perfectly to
the variety of our people, of our soil,
of our products, of our social and
economic development.
The states are the political labora-
tories of free people. Their self
adjustment is the most vital process of
our life. The danger CT p too great
concentration of authority in the gov
eminent at Washington is not so much
a constitutional danger as practical
danger. 1t is the danger of an arti-
fetal uniformity of an arbitrary unity,
OF system without elasticity, OF reg
ulation without local accommodation.
One of the reasons why our states
tagged in the exercise of their pow
ers; one of the reasons why the ques-
ton arose whether they were going to
exercise them or let them lapse by
neglect, was that they did not have
such political arrangements as made
it easy for public opinion to tell upon
legislation and effect the objects which
thoughtful and public spirited men had
long had in mind. There has been go
ing on all over the United States
process of somewhat profound polit-
ical change. The change has rot been
uniform. In one state it was produced
by one set of conditions; in another,
by another; but almost everywhere
there was this common difficulty, that
the government did not seem easily
responsive to opinion; that the people
seemed caught in an elaborate ma
chinery of politics which could be
manipulated against them, which
could be so used as again and again
and again to cheat them of the objects
they sought, which seemed to put the
whole control of affairs in the hands
of small coteries of men who were ex.
ercising not representative, but
usurped authority, and who were exer-
cising it too often for private and not
for public objects. AS / said, this was
not true of all the states. The utmost
variety existed in this respect as in
many others, but it was true in so
many states that men had begun to
ask themselves whether we were not
living in a fools paradise; whether
we were not Boosting of representative
institutions. when we really did not

A National Responsibility.

Few more vital questions face the
United states today than that of the
ultimate effect OF immigration on the
American people. There are many
who fear that the life of the nation
will be seriously contaminated through
the assimilation of undesirables from
abroad.
The secretary Of immigration of the
Chicago Y. M. G. A. has made some
interesting Investigations on this line
and his conclusions are worthy Of at
tention. lie finds that in Chicago the
Immigrants themselves are orderly,
law-ablding and Industrious. But in
many cases their sons are not. Upon
inquiry at the Jail in Chicago recently
he found that 90 per cent. of the pris-
oners were the sons of foreign-born
parents. Only n few were not natives
of this country.
The inference the secretary draws
is that the American social and econ
omic conditions have not been ad-
