WAS 1T UNSUITABLE

In 1860 Republican convention met
in Chicago and welded the fragments
of the Wing party, the disafiected
members of the Democratic party and
the Abolitionists into solid organiza-
ton which, under the leadership OF
Abraham Lincoln, became irresistible
at the polls. Week before last, after
fifty-two years of great history, the
party held another convention in
Chicago, quarreled bitterly and fell
apart 1t is an unfortunate split, but
it is the experience of all political
parties. The English Liberals split
over Home Rule, the followers OF JEFF
erson divided into Democrats and
Wings, the Democrats were rent
assunder by the question OF the extern
sion of slavery into the territories and
again by the silver issue. In its split
the Republican party is simply living
up 10 history,
But the division of the party is pecul-
lar in one respect; il fell apart over a
question of detail in the makeup of the
convention. The disaffected members
withdrew because of the admission of
delegates who did not seem 10 them en-
titled 10 seats in the body. Up To the
point of this final admission the boilers
acted with the body. But the divisions
which have occurred in the past history
of. ri AL, i,.xfariaI.lxy haNn haatt
over some prominent issue. The OPP
posing factions could no longer stand
for the same principles.
Hence the question arises whether
the break i'm the Chicago convention
was justifiable. We do not pronounce
upon il but simply state il. AT the
same time il is evident that there is
division in the party upon questions OF
principle. There certainly are two
wings, conservatives and progressives.
But here again we are met by the fact
that this is true of nearly all organiza-
lions, whether political, social or
ecclesiastical. And when we compare
the platform adopted at this last
Chicago convention with that on
which Taft was nominated in the same
hall four years before, there does not
seem To be much difference between
the two. The convention four years
ago was Roosevelt convention, DOM
mated 10y his following even To Tie
selection of of a standard bearer. There
fore the question will be asked, was
there sufficient difference of principle
TO make a break-up necessary.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.

Small pieces OF toilet soap, too small
to use, should be kept In a small lar,
and when a sufficient amount is col.
lected boil with water until dissolved.
Use this liquid soap for the shampoo.
and there never will be the possibility
Of having small particles left In the
hair. This is an excellent soap for
the children to use, and they like Il,
too. especially the boy with the grimy
hands.
Milk that Is slightly scorched may
be redeemed by putting It into clean
dish and letting II stand in cold
water.
A good way to warm rolls or muf-
fms: Lay a cloth in a colander or q
sieve, and place the rolls In II over
the teakettle; the water can be boil
ing for the tea or coffee and the rolls
beating at the same time.
Every cellar should have a partition
or closet shut of from the rest, where
the potatoes, fruit and perishable
foods may be kept at temperature
below fifty.

vor and q few marshmallows cut into
quarters.
Another unusual peach dessert II
this: Place the halves of very ripe
peaches on slices Of angel cake and
pour over sweetened whipped cream.
Do not tax the brain after a hearty
meal, as the blood Is all needed In the
| digestion of the food; II both func-
lions are at work, one must suffer.
Grape fruit salad with a French
dressing is an excellent digester at the
end of q heavy meal, and makes an
appropriate dessert.
Asparagus is said to be an excel.
| lent remedy for rheumatism; It Is at
least pleasant one, and leaves no
such after effects as many Of the rheu.
matism medicines do.
| When cooking beans for Boston
baked beans, always soak them over
night, and little soda added while
they are parboiling will soften the
skins.
| Beans should be baked at least eight
hours In a moderate oven. Keep them
covered until the last hour. little
mustard added to the molasses gives
a good flavor to a pot of beans. Many
like an onion baked with them for
flavor.
