IMPROVING NATIONAL CONVENTIONS

First Of all, the best way to improve the national
conventions would be to abolish them That would
be ideal No measure of improvement will make it
possible for convention to do the thing that can
only be properly done by an electiona Presidential
preference primary election.
But il we are to have more conventions-and, Of
course, we will, il the machine politicians of the
two old parties have their way, as they expect to
do-then there ought to be radical betternents.
Conventions ought to be delberative assem-
blages, not nine-ring circuses.
They should be held in halls of not more than
half the size now used so that man with brains,
but without below, might have chance to par
ticipate.
They should be ruled by officials with nerve
enough to stop idotic demonstrations and more ido
tic Interruptions from the galleries The galleries
should be relentlessly cleaned out and kept clear
if they refused to behave ).
With these changes, national conventions would
be almost possible. But as first stated, they CAM
be made possible. They should be abolished and
will, before long,.

Here's a Book

Who has not experienced a thrill of
gastronomic delight when some espG-
cially dainty dish has been brought to
the table, served en- casserole, and the
lid of the unobtrustve little brown dish
has been lifted and the delicious aroma
of Its contents assails the nostrils. Not
to have partaken of the many casserole
dishes is to have missed much, and the
sooner one is introduced to them the
better. The casserole should be an in
dispensable article in every kitchen.
for 1t makes for economy In every way
of material, of labor, and of time.
Food that Is too tough or fiavorless for
ordinary cooking may, by means Of the
casserole method of cooking, be served
In nutritious and tender condition.
There are many cummendable fea-
lures about casserole cooking, the main
one being economy, toward which every
housewife is striving, now that the cost
OF living has become a bugbear that
confronts every one who keeps house.
The initial cost of the utensils is very
low and with proper care they will

WHAT OF THE FUTURE?
Suppose no third party is formed.

Suppose no third party is formed.
The machinery of the Republican party is con-
ceded to be wholly in the hands of the reactonaries.
The machinery Of the Democratic party remains
in the hands of the reactionary bosses. The nom-
ination of Wilson did not pry them loose from their
control of the several State organizations. They
simply yielded to the inevitable of the hour and de-
livered their organizations to Wilson. Four years
from now they will be on hand again with the same
machinery, demanding reactonary candidate.
With the organization of both the Republican and
Democratic parties in the hands of the bosses in 1916
where will the people come in?
Is it wise to trust to luck to beat the bosses then
or prepare for the contest by organizing a third
party now?

FRIDAY, JULY s. 1912.
COLD, DAMP ENTHUSIASM.

The New York World commends the selection OF
Governor Marshall as the Democratic candidate for
Vice President because 'in comparison with James
S. Sherman he is an ideal candidate The New
York Sun yawns the comment that Marshall has
poor opinion of the initiative and referendum and
holds the Presidential primary in light regard"
Such enthusiastic Endorsement Of the second
man on "the ticket which makes the progressive
party unnecessary is not likely to set any of the
prairies on fire.

JUST COMMON SENSE

Every once in awhile some administration, be it
municipal, State Federal, exhibits such symptoms
of common sense and does things by such short cuts
that it attracts national attention The latest ex-
ample is the Socialist administration of Milwaukee
which has eliminated the tenderoin district of that
city, after it had been given up as helpless and
hopeless task by former administrations The city at
torney has simply notified owners of buildings that

Powers to Oppose
Claims of Allies

PARIS, nov. AN ominous shadow
is being cast over Europe by the mailed
hand Of the triple alliance.
Definite announcement has come
from Vienna that Austria will refuse to
consent to Servia having an outlet on
the Adriatic sea. This for years has
been the national dream of the ServianS
and their demands in this respect will
be upheld by the other members Of the
Balkan league. Italy and Germany are
expected to support Austria.
This. in condensed form, is the an
ticipated fruits Of the victory of the
allies over the Turks:
Montenegro to annex the vilayet of
Scutari
The sanjak Of Novibazar to revert to
Austria
Russia will insist that the Darda
neles be opened and remain neutral to
commerce and fleets Of the world.
The frontiers of Greece added to
Servia
Bulgaria TO annex all the Turkish
territory lying between its southern
boundary and Turkey.
Servia to secure one or more sea-
ports on the Adriatic.
Roumania expects a reward for re-
naming neutral
