And few things can be more delightful than to turn from the picture paint ed of her by her friends @ to her intimate and faithful likeness of her self The tart, even the Doisterous tongue is indeed not concealed, as when she told d political friend that T regretted he had not lived in the Middle Ages and given his faith to orthodox points, as he would have made one of the firmest pillars of the church instead Of being milk and-water politician now But there are many other things besides tart ness and boistcrousncss.
 Unfortunately the Journal stops be fore the great days of Holland House began

He is much superior to his writings, and his conversation is even beyond his abilities.

As to Primaries

Some criticism has been directed against the Taft supporters in Mari copa county for their refusal to par ticipate in the so-caIled primary which the minority of the county cen tral committee has ordered for May 25.
 It is true the Taft supporters have refused to participate in that per formance. However, their refusal is based not on the ground that it will be popular primary but on the ground that it will not be And mo- body knows that fact better than the Roosevelt leaders themselves.
 There is no safeguard against fraud in the kind of primary proposed There is no assurance that the will of the republican voters will be regis tered. What, then, is the use of sane tioning a farce?
 Here in Phoenix we have been rather unfortunate in the matter of primaries. There are plenty of peo- pie here who remember the disgrace fuI occurrences of four years ago when, in one of the wards of this city at a primary election, so-calIed. the votes cast w,re more than equal 10 the total number of both democrats and republicans in that ward.
 Is that the sort of performance the Roosevelt leaders desire? Certainly the rank and file of the party do not want a recurrence of that disgraceful scene.
 The primary, so-called, that has been ordered by a minority of the county committee has no sanction in law and is not safeguarded in such manner as to assure a proper ex- pression of the will of republican voters. We all know something about these soap box" affairs and what we know is not to their credit
