A Dangenous Time to Swap Horses

The danger confronting the ma
ton in the prospects of a nation al
Democratic victory has brought
back into the fold of the Republi-
can party many of those who were
weaned away by the first wave of
Bull Moose enthusiasm. The dam
ger, however, has not yet passed.
A third canvass in as many weeks
by the New York Herald fails to
show any change in the relative po-
sitions of the three presidential
candidates in the race. Professor
Wilson still maintains he lead
on the face OF the returns of the
canvass. but there is cause for gem
eral satisfaction on the part of
Republicans in the fact that the
president has made a noticeable
gain in the past three weeks.
Colonel Roosevelt's chances have
been weakened in proportion to
the gains made by President Taft.
putting the colonel still farther be-
yond the possibility of election.
However, there is no sense in
Republicans trying to fool them
selves. Every straw which blows
indicates the growing solidity of
the Democratic ranks and the sue
cess of the party of free trade and
destruction unless the Republicans
become more united. Everyone
knows that Colonel Roosevelt can't
De elected. No one knows this bet
ter than the colonel himself. 1t
must be plain. therefore, to the
followers of the former president
that each vote cast for him is a
vote for Professor Wilson. In view
of this very patent fact then where
in Is the justice to oneself in fur
Their hanging out and practically
aiding and abetting that which
threatens to bring about CONNER
cial and industrial stagnation. with
it's attendant suffering and want.
which will fall most heavily on the
classes which can least stand 1t.
1t therefore remains with mem
bers of the Republican party to de-
termine whether they will continue
their dissensiOn over nonessenfials
and stand by those essentials which
are imperiled by the prospect of
return of Democratic rule.
We feel with President Taft in
his recent expression of confidence
that an overwhelming majority of
American citizens are against the
Democratic party and its free trade
fallacy, and We feel with him also
that the hope of the minority party
lies in the division of the Republi-
can party.
The country can i'll afford to
swap horses in the middle of the
present high tide of prosperity. Ev-
cry Republican should appreciate
this fact and stand sOlidly back
of the party and its principles even
IL there are those who should diff
fer on sentiment or other nonessen-
tials-Pueblo Chieftain.

REAL LAND OF THE AUT0MAT
Germany, Probably Moro Than Any
Other Country, Makes Use OF
These Simple Devices.

Germany might almost be called
"the land OF the automat." Automatic
devices Of all kinds are popular and
are used for a thousand purposes. At
all postofices stamps and post cards
are sold by automatic machines; at
the railway stations, platform tickets
and suburban tickets are sold by
automats; automat restaurants, where
one can secure a glass of beer, wine,
or liquor, a sandwich, square meal,
cup of coffee, chocolate, etc, by drop
ping a coin in the slot, abound every
where. Every city of $4,000 or 10000
population and over has from one to
several hundred such restaurants. At
railway stations automats sell choco-
late, candy, picture post cards, and
even q little kit of first aid to the IN
jured," containing a few drops of pain
killer. bandages, needle, thread, etc.
Ten pfennigs in a slot opens the doors
of toilet compartments, delivering a
towel or piece of soap. A coin In a
slot obtains a cigar, q tune from a
mechanical music box, a pair Of shoe
strings, a collar button, OF a visiting
card.

PUTTING UP PICKLES
HOUeEkEEPERs ALWAYS DO,
AND WILL, PREFER THEIR OWN.
Experts Opinion Of Preparing Small
Onlonr for the Winter Dining Ia
ble-Proper Arrangement Of
the Delicious CauIilower.

Despite the fact hat excellent pick
les may be bought in the stores at
little expense, still, where there are
vegetables in plenty and to spare
housekeepers will always prefer to
put them up for winter use rather
than buy. 1t goes without saying the
cost is less, while there a be no
doubt "a to their purity.
Some people have luck, as they say,
putting up pickles cold, but the only
real success In my experience has
been with small onions put up the
following way:
The outer covering Of the onions is
removed, and then they should be
packed into clean, dry glass bottles
and covered with cold vinegar, adding
the usual picking spices. whole.
The bottles should be filled brim-
ming full. and then be sealed down.
Onions picked this way are very firm
and have a fine flavor, but 1t is said
they do not keep as well as the boiled
pickles. They will keep during the
winter, anyway. 1t might be we'll,
however. to use them up first. They
are so little trouble to put up that
with the vegetables at hand a few
may be preserved just as one found
time for doing It.
To pickle caulifower with cold vin.
egar, the vegetables should be cut
into small pieces and s%prinkled with
salt. They should lie for a couple OF
days thus. and then be packed into
glass Jars and covered with cold
spiced pickling vinegar.
Some housekeepers boil the cauli-
flower with salt until the vegetable

A Jar OF vinegar, made rather sweet
