ty-five electoral candidates to
vote for Mayor Gaynor of New
York, Or for Governor Harmon Of
Ohio. If they should still do this,
they would be acting within their
legal and moral rights, and they
would remain in full possession Of
the name and emblem of the DEM
ocratic party. Under those cir
cumstances, the supporters OF
Woodrow Wilson would be oblig-
ed, at great trouble and expense,
to get the names Of their own
electoral candidates on the voting
paper by the fling Of petitions !;
and they would not be allowed TO
use the Democratic name or en-
'blem at the head of their column
on the official ballot.
Since, then, the Democrats OF
the State Of New York have leg
al and moral right to disregard
the Baltimore ticket and plat
form, and to act strictly in &C.
cordance with their own prefer
ences, why will they-most un-
doubtedly-acquiescc and assume
the outward appearance Of entire
satisfaction with the Wilson nom-
ination and the Bryan platform!
The answer is quite too obvious
to need elaboration. New York
will accept the Baltimore deci-
sfons because the Democrats OF
the whole country have accepted
them; because those results were
fairly and openly arrived at; and
because for a great many reasons
the Democrats of New York wish
to act in cooperation with those
who use the same party name in
the other States. To sum it all
up the Democrats Of New York
will nominate Wilson and Mar
shall electors, because it is the
overwhelming sentiment that no
other course would be practical
or useful. The New York Dem
Ocrats have not been trieked into
q national situation that is re-
to their consciences or
their judgments. They accept the
situation because they have no
conceivable reason for repudiat-
ing it. But let it be clearly re-
membered that they have every
legal right to repudiate it, with
out losing their control of the :
Democratic name and emblem
within the State of New York.
They are the highest tribunal.

lowed this statement of ours

BREAUx SHOULD BIZ RE-
ELECTED.

Now that the selection Of
the Judges of the Supreme
Court of the State of Louisiana is
enstrusted to the wisdom OF the
people it occurs to as that it may
not be amiss to call attention to
the fact that the election of the
men who are to sit in Judgment
upon the rights Of their fellow
men involves one Of the most SER
ious and important duties which
can be imposed upon the electo-
rae of the State.
In the near future the voters
of the 4th Supreme Court District,
will be called upon to determine
who shall sit as Chief Justice Of
that august tribunal. In deserm-
ining this question every voter IS
called upon to remember that the
Supreme Court Of the State; the
tribunal to which every citizen
must look for the enforcement Of
the law, and the protection Of his
sacred rights Is the Court of the
last resort to which he must ap-
peal for protection even as against
the aggression Of the legislative,
or executive department Of gov
ernmcnt, whenever his constitu-
tional rights are being trampled
upon or ignored. Il is therefore
evident that the voter VINO cast

WHY7

Here Is q very simple question:,
ye it expresses fact that every
! voter iu the Third Congressional
District should consider between
the present time and the primary
election that will take place on
September 3rd. 1t is: Why
should the voters of this District
east aside the Hon. Il. F. Brous-
sard and give their support and
vote to Mr. ,Gueydanf Does not
Mr.. Gueydan represent the defeat
ed candidate Of a faction of the
Democratic partyi Did he not
have all the time necessary to
make a convincing campaign be-
fore the voters Of this State for
the office of Lieutenant Governor
Did he not have the moral and
material support of she Good Gov
ernment League for the office that
he sought and yet was he not de-
feated9 Does this show that the
people are with him or against
him? Then, if majority Of The
people Of the State stood opposed
to his elevation to the office of
Lieutenant Governor, why should
the people Of the Third Congress
sional District rallyto his support
against their faithful influential
alert and beloved Congressman,
Hon. R. F. Broussardi
Congressman Broussard went
before the people Of this State =
not only the voters of the Third
Congressional District--and af-
ter manly, an honest and con-
vincing campaign he was elected
to one of the highest Offices in
the land, that Of United States
Senator. Did the people vote for
him with the understanding that
he was to step out Of the way Of
Mr.. Gueydan, in case Mr.. Geuy.
dan should fail to corral the vot-
ers of this State into voting for
him for Lieutenant Governorf
We think not, because had the
people cared that much for Mr..
Gneydan they never would have
lefl him out in the cold to strug-
gle for another Office. They would
have elected him Lieutenant Gov
ernor and by this token they
would have signified q desire to
have him 60 to Congress. Per con-
ira, they. let Mr.. Gueydan 60 down
in defeat and now it is not pre-
too much to believe that
the people-not the few howlers
who would like to take the posi-
tons Of the "bosscs" that they
lambast 30 muchare Indifferent

ferment is cincerned. Lafourche

John NJ. Parker, leader Of the
Good Government League, has
Topped again and this time has
landed in the Roosevelt camp.
It is not much Of . surprise to
the public as they are somewhat
like a Simple Simon once said of
another fellows promised wife.
Simon had just got a girl to
promise to marry him and was
boasting Of his engagement to q
number Of young men. Thinking
to have some rare sport out OF
him, one of the young men asked
il he kissed the girl when she ac-
cepted him. This Simon Wig
orously denied, wherupon the
young man said: "Why, when
my girl accepted me ! kissed her
1 dozen times = Simon thought
deeply and then drawled out

was usen to it. (" The public has
gotten usen to Parker's changes,

FACTS ABOUT ELECTING
.n PRESIDENTS.

A great many people, VINO
ought perhaps to be better In
formed, do not understand eth.
err the method pr the spirit of our
American party systems, and still
less do they seem to understand
the relation of parties to the legal
process of electing a President
Almost every one knows, however,
that the voters in November do
not cast their ballots directly for
a President, and that they act as
citizens of the nation. The Pres
ident is elected by a body called
the Electoral College. The Flee
toral College has a membership
equal in number to that of the
House of Representatives and the
Senate, taken together The
House of Representatives has 435
seats, and the Senate has ninety
six seats 1.-TWO for each of the for
ty-eight States). Thus the State
Of New York, with forty-three
Seats in the House Of Represen-
tatives, will have forty-five men,
bers Of the Electoral College.
Each party, acting under the laws
of the State of New York, will
nominate its own list Of forty
five electors. The name and en-
brem at the head Of each list OF
the ballot paper will be regulated
by the provisions or the election
laws of the State Of New York.
Thus the name and emblem Of the
Democratic party in the State Of
New York have come under the
complete domination Of Tammany
Hall, which is governed before
the public by Charles F. Murphy,
while governed behind the scenes
by those in whose interest Mr..
Murphy carries on his political
operations.
The Democrats Of the State Of
New York have not yet nominal
ed their forty-five electors. They
are to have a great State conven-
ton some time in September for
the nomination of Governor and
other State officers, and at that
time they will prepare the list of
their forty-five candidates for the
office of Presidential elector.
There is nothing in the world to
prevent this New York State con-
vention from adopting a platform
sharply antogonistic to the Bryan
platform that was adopted at Bal
timore. Nor is there any reason
in law or in political morals why
the New York State Democratic
Convention should nop openly. de-
clare against Woodrow Wilson
and put in the field a set Of forty
Ave electoral candidates pledged
to vote for some other candidate.
The voluntary body that mel,
without sanction Of law, at Bal
timore, has no authority over the
Democrats of the State of New
York. As a matter of fact, the
New York Democrats, if left to
themselves, would adopt a plat
form very different from Mr..
Bryan's Baltimore document. +
furthermore, if acting according
10 their own preferences, they
would probably instruct their for

TESTED AND PROVEN
There Is a Heap of Solace in Being Able to Depend Upon a We'll
 Earned Reputation.

For months Press readers have seen the constant expression of praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read about the good work they have done in this locality. What other remedy ever produced such convincing proof of merit?
 James Mallon, Fox Hill, Rockville, Conn. says: "You may continue to use my recommendation of Doan's Kidney Pills given for publication in 1906. I can only add that kidney trouble has never bothered me since used this remedy. Doan's Kidney Pills are entitled to the full credit for my cure. I had kidney trouble and backache. The pains in my loins were so severe that I was hardly able to work; in fact, on several occasions I was obliged to lay off. It was diff cult for me to stoop. When l heard of Doan's Kidney Pills I obtained g supply and it did not take them long to relieve my trouble. '" .'

Forbes 6 Wallace of the New
 and Remodeled Store.

The opening of the new and re- modelled Forbes 6 Wallace store in Springfield last week was an event of unusual interest to everyone through out Western New England. This es- tablishment has reached a develop ment remarkable in city the size of Springfield. In service, the wide as- sortments, convenient arrangement and attractive display of stocks it does not suffer in comparison with the great stores in the large cities like New York and Boston.
 The building of the new five-story Vernon street addition and the ex- tensive reconstruction and remOdeling of the entire store, which has been going on for the last nineteen months, is completed. The work has been in | many respects one of the most remark able undertakings in local building history, on account of the difficulties incident to carrying it on without in terruption to business.
 That it has been done without serl- ous accident speaks highly for the care of the builders and the precautions taken by the firm.
 This addition of 100000 square feet to the area of the store has been made necessary by the rapid increase in the business during the past few years. It marks a notable period o1 expansion, and to fittingly observe the occasion Forbes 6 Wallace held 8 formal opening last week on a scale never before attempted.
 These, together with the fine equip ment which has been perfected for the efficient transaction of business, the beautiful new furnishings and the un' precedentedly large and carefully chosen stocks of new fall merchandise which have been assembled made this undoubtedly the most important ano interesting event ever held ill this section of New England.
 On Wednesday, the first of the open ing days, the new fashions in appare and accessories were shown on living models, just as they are shown il New York and all of the larger cities Six of the most prominent New Yorl models were engaged for the occasion

SPINNING EGGS.
Relation of Fluid Friction to the soo
 Iidity of the Earth.

Iidity of the Earth.
 An interesting experiment exhibits the phenomenon of fluid friction. Take two eggs, one raw. the other hard boiled. and suspend them by wires from an electric light fixture or other support. their long axes being vertical. Then if they be gently turned around once or twice 1t is found that while the boiled egg continues to revolve the raw one comes immediately to rest.
 This difference is due to the fact that the boiled egg is a solid body, the whole egg turning, while the raw egg is fluid contained in a shell, the shell alone being turned by the twisting of the wire and the fluid remaining sta t1onary.
 The investigator who devised this and the following experiments em- ployed it as one of the proofs that the earth Is solid body and not a thin crust of rock surrounding a fluid or ''pasty nucleus" In that case. he held. the observed swinging and sway ing motions of the earth's axis in pro- cession and mutation would be impos- sible.
 The same phenomenon is shown in the following experiment, though in a directly opposite way: If two eggs be spun rapidly on their sides on a mirror or other perfectly smooth sur face the experimenter by gently plac- ing his hand upon the boiled egg as 1t spins stops its movement perma- nently. But if the same experiment be made, with the raw egg 1t will immedi- ately begin to spin again when the hand is removed. Indeed. 1t is extraor- dinary how long one can hold his hand upon the raw egg without destroy ing it's motion. The reason of this is appa rent. The fluid within the shell continues to revolve, although, the shell itself is stationary, while in the other case the whole egg is stopped.
 If one attempt to spin the eggs on the mirror. after the manner of top. he will find that the boiled egg will spin for considerable time. but that the other will fall almost immediately on its side. It has been observed that this experiment furnishes a solution of Columbus prOblem-how to make an egg stand on end. First boil the egg hard and then spin it.-Harper's Weekly.
