HINTS ON COOKING OF RICE
It Should Be Thoroughly Cleaned and
Washed, and Shaken Occasion
ally While Boiling.

In order that rice when cooked
should be snowy white, with every
grain separate, it must first be thor
oughly washed after picking it clean
from every foreign substance, wash
ing through three or four cold clear
waters. rubbing the grains well be-
tween the hands to remove all the
dust and discoloration.
When well cleaned, it must be put
over the fire in a quart of boiling
water to each cup of rice, adding a
teaspoon of salt to the water; the
water must be boiling when the rice
is put into it. as the boiling of the
water will toss the grains of rice,
separating them and preventing their
cling.ng together
Shake the vessel occasionally, until
the grains begin to soften, but after
this do not touch the rice but con,
time the boiling until it swells and
appears to thicken; then take off the
cover, pour off any water there is, and
set the vessel in the oven in order
that the dry heat may swell the
grains, leaving it for about ten min.
utes. but by no means until the grains
brown.
Then take out of the oven, let stand
a few minutes and turn out into a
dish. Every grain should stand apart,
beautifully white, soft and perfectly
dry.

The Presidents opinion, carrying
no word of criticism for DR.. Wiley,
but many word of praise, was made
public here Friday. There is no. in
dication in it that the President feels
that he turned down" Mr.. Wicker
sham by not accepting his recommen-
dations. He explains that the at
torney generals findings in the case
were made with less complete data
than was before him when he took
it up. In the opinion the President
admits what has been well known to
many persons close to the admins
tration, that there is trouble in the
Department of Agriculture. Speak
ing of the congressional inquiry into
that department, unfinished at the
last session, but to be taken up next
winter, Mr. Taft says:
THE broader issues raised by the
investigation which have much
weightier relation than this one to
the general efficiency of the depart
ment, may require much more radical
action than the question | have con-
sidered and decided"

NO ARMoNY,oEcLAREs BRYAN
Commoner Wants None, and Gives
Notice of Fight.

Lincoln, Neb.-W. ]. Bryan says
there is no harmony in the Demo-
cratic party and he wants none. In
the last issue of his Commoner, Mr.
Bryan serves notice that he proposes
to fight. He says:
The harmony program has al
ready cost the party dearly. A few
protectionist Democrats threatened
to vote with the Republicans if a
free wool bill was reported, so har-
mony was purchased by the surren-
der of the doctrine of free raw ma
terial.
The corporation Democrats are
opposed to any effective legislation
on the trust question. and harmony
will have to be disturbed if anything
is done to protect the public.
What we need is not harmony,
but a Straightforward fight for prin-
ciple in behalf of the public. Such a
fight will win"

NEW IDEA IN
OUR POLITICS
twenty-five Governors Protest
to Supreme Court.
ARE FOR STATE RIGHTS
The Decision of Judge Sanborn In the
Minnesota Rate Case Is the
INVASION to which the
Governors Object.

Spring Lake, n. 1.-THE House of
Governors sprang new idea IN
American politics. 1t voted, % to /,
to send a committee of three to ap-
peal to the Supreme Court of the
United States to check the autocracy
of inferior Federal courts" With
Judson Harmon, of Ohio, as chair
man and Herbert S. Madley, of Mis-
souri,, and Chester H. Aldrich, of Ne
braska, as the other members, the
committee will protest to the Su-
preme Court that Federal judges
have unwarrantably forbidden states
/ to regulate railroad rates within
| their boundaries. 1t will argue that
Federal courts have unconstitution-
ally limited the powers of state legis-
| latures.
The occasion for the appeal will be
the decision of Justice Sanborn, of
the United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals, enjoining the Railroad Com
mission of Minnesota, from regulat-
ing interstate rates on the ground
that ouCl lCS NOuiN NV w 80
forced and would deprive the roads
of proper remuneration and would
interfere with interstate commerce.
But the governors take the broader
ground that unless the Supreme
Court, by it's final decisions, protects
state rights, the state will soon be-
come mere Federal provinces.
Governor Harmon, of Ohio, was
one of the five governors who con-
victed the conference that the time
had come for the states to call on
the Supreme Court for help. The
others who were especially promi-
nent in bringing about this action
were Stubs, of Kansas; Hadley, OF
Missisouri; O'Neal, of Alabama, and
Aldrich, of Nebraska.
Harmon and O'Neal are Democrats
and Hadley, Stubs and Aldrich are
Republicans.

De Palma and Bob Burman. who
had been driving in previous races,
