CURRENT COMMENT
Wilson or Harmon?

The case for Woodrow Wilson Is presented
at it's strongest by the New York Evening Post
which sets out in recent article to draw a com
parison between the governor Of Ohio and the
governor of New Jersey but forgets somehow
other to say anything about the former ex-
eept to express its belief that he would make
a good president. The Evening Post thinks that
the nomination is going to Wilson and that It
is going TO him account OF the fight he has
made against the political bosses. It admits
frankly that thd nomination is going to Wilson

HAY FEVER BRINGS
BIG RAIL TRAFFIC
Exodus of Victims North and
West Increases in Pas
senger Business.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-Railroads CEN
tering in Chicago have completed pre-
parations for handling a heavy volume
of passenger traffic due to two fevers
--colonist and hay.
The latter is already gripping it's
victims and a large exodus to climates
where "kerchoos' are unknown is now
under way. The colonist fever, it is
declared, is in it's incipiency at pre-
sent and will not reach its height I'M
til September Is, when special colo
mist rates to Pacific coast points will
be in force. A one-way rate of $33
from Chicago to all tho principal cities
on the edge of the Pacific will be Of
fered between September Is and Oc-
tober Is. During the colonist period
last spring it was estimated that fully
10000 persons took advantage of the
cific slope, and the record this fall is
expected to eclipse this total by a
wide margin.
Extra Tourist SIeepers.
Extra tourist sleepers will be hand
led on at least one of the leading roads
operating between Chicago and Oma-
ha on it's regular trains. At the lat
ter city these sleepers will be assemb-
led into special colonist trains. which
will be operated on fast schedules
First class limited trains, it is declar-
ed. will not make better time than
these colonist flyers. A feature of the
latter will be reduced rates for dining

A Canadian railroad is offering a
hay fever insurance policy in the
form of service to the highlands of
Ontario, where immunity from the dis
ease is promised.

tive of this road, Stands helpless be-

Rate Checking a Burden.
Officials of transcontinental rail-
roads report that progress is slow in
the checking over of the huge number
of commodity freight rates to the
West, which has been found neces-
sary in order to ascertain the full eff
feet of the decision of the interstate
commerce commission in the inter
mountain rate cases. These officers
say they are working gradually to-
ward plan to make rates to the coast
generally on a slightly higher level,
applying the basis recommended by
the commission in the Salt Lake case.
AS these rates were pronounced rea-
sonable by the commission. the roads
are extending the basis to the coast
on a mileage computation.

though under contract to receive $40

Burleson, on Thursday afternoon filed
suit in the Wayne circuit court
against Edward Green, his uncle liv-
ing in Center township, demanding
$3.50. He alleges he contracted with
Green in 1904 but never received COM
pensation, although he worked for
Green for forty-nine months. He has
since become of age and stopped work
ing for Green. The complainant al
ieges that the work was hard enough
and that $40 a month would not have
been too much pay.

To KEEP
HEN FRUIT FRESH
A California Experimental
Says Doom of the Cold
Storage Is Sounding.

SANTA CRUZ, Cal, Aug. 18.-Vic-
tor Clairmont of this city claims to
have a process for preserving eggs
which he says will revolutionize the
egg industry and entirely do away
with the cold storage process in the
course Of time.
Skeptical ones took little stock in
Clairmont's assertion when he came
here three months ago to act as man.
ager of the local egg exchange, but to
make good his claims he put a case
OF eggs through his secret process and
placed them in charge of the chamber
OF commerce, with the understanding
that they would not be opened for in
spection until three months had clap
sed. and then placed away again to
go through a similar course three
months later. To see that Clairmont
made good a committee of citizens
gathered to pass judgment.
All Tests Satisfactory.
To first satisfy the representative
committee that the eggs were just as
fresh as on the day when stored away
he placed them before a strong light.
He then opened some picked by the
committee and they were found to be
entirely free from odor as fresh eggs.
AS a further test, the eggs were
cooked in every style and the commit.
teemen pronounced them to be fully
equal to the fresh variety. The
whites of eggs were then beaten up in
order to demonstrate that they were
equal to fresh eggs for this purpose.
All the eggs experimental with were
marked in order to guard against de-
ception, and the results amazed the
members of the committee.
His Process 10 Secret
Clairmont's process is simple, but
secret. The latter, upon receiving
the eggs, put them in watts containing
a liquid solution which closes the
pores. They are then placed in cases
and stored. but not in cold storage.
as temperature of any degree does not
affect them. Clairmont also exhibited
eggs that had been preserved sixteen
months and when placed before a
strong light the ywere as clear as
those that had bee stored away
three months. Clairmont has great
faith in his invention and since ar
irving in Santa Cruz has bought up
al eggs local poltrymen could supply.
At present he has $50 cases of pro-
cessed eggs on hand, which repre-
sents total of assoc dozen.
The present state law, which makes
it illegal to keep cold storage eggs
more than three months. does not at.
feet the new process. with the excep-
ton that they cannot be sold as fresh
eggs.

CLEAN ELECTIONS
Law NOW ASSURED
House Approves Conference
Report and the President
Will Sign the Bill.

| WASHINGTON. Aug. .1S.-Another
election reform growing out of the
Chicago Tribune's Exposure of the bri-
berry in the election of Senator Lori
mer, was presented to the country yes
terday when the house of representa-
tives approved the conference report
on the bill providing for publicity OF
campaign expenditures.
The bill has been approved by the
senate and now goes to the President.
Mr. Taft will sign the measure and
it will be law before the end of this
week.
| The conference report was adopted
in the house by a vote of ESQ to Al.
the only Republicans voting against it
being Mccall of Massachusetts and
Gardner of New Jersey, who like
many Democrats are opposed to i'm
elections
| All of the Illinois delegation voted
for the measure, with the exception Of
Sterling. who was absent.
Opposed BY Southern Members.
| To obtain approval of the compro-
mise bill Chairman Rucker of the
house committee was compelled to
fight the opposition of his own party
of the south, where primary nomi-
nation for Democrat is equivalent
to an election. Southern Democrats
were immune from publicity coinfin-
ed to elections. but were hit hard
when the bill was expanded to include
primaries.
When the bill originally passed the
house Rucker led the fight which de-
defeated the primary proposition, but
when it came back from the senate
extended to include this and other
stringent features he and the rest OF
| the Democrats could not afford to op-
pose it. Rucker explained that he had
been for the enlarged bill all along
and he was agreeably surprised by the
favorable action of the senate.
The extent to which the bill was
strengthened in the senate also sur
prised many members of that body.
| Va
Indiana, representing progressive
thought in both parties, were prom
inent in expanding the bill and in
GLIDING penalties for corrupt practices.
Sequel Of Lorimer Scandal.
| Tremendous impetus was given the
movement by the revelations of the
Lorimer election scandal, which was
used frequently in both houses as a
| text of speeches urging the passage of
the bill.
| Under the terms of the measure
sent to the President, publicity of
campaign contributions and expendi-
lures is exacted of individual candi-
dates for the house and senate as well
as political organizations, both before
and after primaries and nominating
conventions, as we'll as before and af-
ter elections at the polls or in the leg
islatures. Eleventh hour senatorial
candidates, like Lorimer, also are sub
ject to the law.
The law prohibits candidates from
promising political appointments as
rewards for support in primaries or
elections, but requires a statement of
all pledges and promises to be made
with the fiscal account. The limit on
expenditures is $4,000 for the senate
and $4,000 for the house.
