tention Is, that there Is nothing In
the title OF this act which expresses
any intention TO legislatc as to pri-
mary elections. 1t Is claimed that as
the title is 'in reference to general
and special elections" II is restrictive
and specific rather than comprehensive
and general: that 1t applies to certain
kinds of elections which the act goes
on TO define. viz: General elections
and special elections; that. while IL is
true that cognate and germane iegis-
latton may be valid under general
title expressing n general subject. yet
the title must be sufficiently comprc.
hensive to include them; and Cooley on
Constitutional Limitations is cited in
support of the proposition.
1t is commended that while there may
be no such incongruities In the 90
jects and purposes expressed in the
statute as to make 1t repugnaut to
that provision of our Constitution
which declares that no law shall en-
brace more than one object. which
shall be expressed in Its title. section
1870 renders the act broader than Its
title, and 1t is to that extent null and
void.

tional provision. that no law shall en-

And the Constitution is to be literally
construed so as TO uphold the law, If
practicable. II WAS claimed In that
case that the body OF the statute en-
braced many objects instead of one.
that IL amended and repealed many
sections of the Code; that the indie
pendent sections had various objects
and that the title should have stated
and shown what subject each section

tended that 1t was too narrow to en-
brace special elections, for between the
two there is no necessary connection,
| and irrcsularity or fraud in the con-
duct of general election would have
no necessary bearing or connection
with the conduc, OF a special election
But Is this true With respect to the
relation which a primary election bears
to the general or to the special cleo
ton with reference TO which II is held?
we know as matter OF common
knowledge. that the purpose OF holding
a primary election is to select a can
didate to be voted for by party or
ganlzatlon at the ensuing general or
special election. We know that the
person selected at the primary cleo
ton to be voted for at the general or
special election will receive the votes
of the members of the party to which
he belongs. and for which the primary
is held, and IL both political organiza-
tons or all political organizations
into which a community is divided. hold
primary elections, II necessarily follows
that the person chosen at the primary
| becomes the nominee of his party, to be
voted for al the general election. and
that ono Of the primary nominees will
ultimately be elected TO the Office.
In other words. the primary, wher
! adopted by a political party is an In
separablc part of the election ma
chinery. and If a candidate to be voted
for at the general election is to hu

Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Pneumonia,

Grip is an infectious disease,
which attacks weak and strong
alike, espcc ally if the blood is
sluggish, and generally involving
the mucous membrane of the air
passages from the nostril down to
and including the lungs. Serious
complications are liable to develop
in the course of the disease, as grip
settles in the weakest part Of the
system, sometimes the kidneys,
the brain, the stomach or the heart,
resulting often in heart failure, but
the most dreaded of all pneumonia,
which is particularly fatal when
arising from grip.

In Defense of Banquets

London, May 1.-The Institute of Hygiene had a banquet the other ev- ening. It was quite formal banquet and the result was that several of the hygienists present inclined somewhat to criticize it, as not exactly the kind of banquet that hygienists ought to eat. So many courses, they argued, were unnecessary and put a premium on over-consumption. ~
 Whereat, at the close of the meal, up rose Dr. J. Strickland Goodail and told the banquetters some plain truths. Course dinners, he said, are not un- hygfenic-they are scientific demon strations. "The hors d'oeuvros'', the doctor continued, stimulate the gus tatory mechanism and start the secre- tion of saliva and gastric and pam creatfc juices Olives clean the mouth. Soup has little nutritive value but is rich in gastric excitors. A free flow of juices is thus insured for the fish, food rich in proteid. The entree, by name, appearance and taste, secures flow of juice to digest the joint and game-true foods. The savory maintains the flow. Sweets and dessert, with their pleasant taste and attractive appearance, are taken after actual hunger has been appeas- ed ''

FRENCHIFIED AMERICANS.
Writer in 1847 Believed the Yankee Assembled the Gaul More
 Than the BritOn.

Did it ever strike you how much many of the qualities? That's the many of the qualtieies? That's the question a writer in the year 1S47 propounded to his readers. He con- tinues:
 Tn dressing, dancing, congregating in chivalry to women, facility or adoption to new circumstances, ln- of recuperation from trouble - in complexion and figure even, how very French!"
 He adds that ''the semark, perhaps is more particularly true of New York.
 countries the same, we should seem to travellers eye, am inclined to think much more like a nation of French origin than English Al though our communication with Eng land is much more intimate, we hard ly copy anything English except it's literature and religion. Our fashions in dress, male as we'll as female, are principally Parisian. The style of cookery in our hotels, and at all prl- vate tables of any pretenslon, IS French. Our houses are furnished a Ia Franchise; our habits of society our balls, private concerts and places of entertainment for the idlers about town, are all French. We have a hundred French bootmakers to. one w Americans in Paris engaged in the business of exporting French fabrics, elegancies and conveniences for this country, and almost none of the same class in England. In fact, If Eng land is our mother country. France draw the most of our nourishment, of the tasteful and ornamental order"
 The Silver Standard. published by the Meriden Britannia Company, (In- ternational Silver Co.,, Successor) quotes this commentator on the fash ions and customs of two generations ago at some length and also reprints fashion plate showing the latest styles in the year 1847. The illus tration would seem to bear out the statements made.
 Another article, under the caption, False Standard of Female Beauty" declares that the good people of 1S47 ''are so accustomed in the present age to behold delicate women, that for want of good models the ideal image which we form of them has been very much changed. Where are the char acteristics of beauty as represented in modern novels? Instead of a bright and healthy complexion, a graceful activity, and youthful vivac1ty we hear of a slender aerial form, sylph sionally relieved by the shade of car-j nation, an expressive countenance gently tinged with melancholy" Sure ly the standard of female beauty in l 1911 is not the same as in 1S47!
 But if the foregoing impresses us with the difference between our | and ourselves the fol- i low item will have the opposite effect. l
 "tYankee Doodle says the New l York shopkeepers hire fashionably l dressed young ladies to call in and walk out of their stores once in ten | or fifteen minutes during the day | to attract customers by sympathy"
 The old gentleman who observed | there was nothing new under the | sun was right; there isn't. Perhaps ! even in his day the up-to-date mer- | chants of Jerusalem worked the same | game Who knows?

CRITICIsEs STAGE JEW.
Dr. Silverman Says the Character
 Created to Cause Ridicule.

New Haven, May 4.-The Rev. Dr. Joseph Silverman of Temple Emanuel, New York, in an address here plead ed for elimination of the story of Shylock from the reading course of public schools, maintaining that Shy lock was not a Jew. He said:
 Shakespeare simply catered to the basest passions of the people in order to gain the plaudits of the mob."
 Dr. Silverman also discountenanced the stage type of Jew, saying: .'The modern stage Jew is discredit to every living Jew. His makeup, his language and in fact everything about him has been created to cause ridi- cule. A campaign must be instituted to do away with caricaturing the members of the Hebrew race both in literature and upon the stage"

CARPENTERS GET MORE.
Derby Masters Yield to Demand and
 Strike Is Ended.

Derby, May 4.-The strike of the Carpenters union, which was in- augurated last Monday. when 100 of the members left their labors, is end ed. The union officials said last night that all of the men would re- turn to work this morning. The de- mand made by the carpenters was that the minimum wage should be S3.50 instead of $3, as was in force the past year. To this a number of the master builders consented right away, so that about SO carpenters re- mained at work
 The other master builders agreed to g. slight advance, and it was fig ured that $3.20 would be the price set per day. The conference between the parties resulted in $325 being named. Some of the carpenters were about to leave for other sections of the state as representative of build ing concerns have been in the as sociated cities the past few days try ing to get men.
