 q really feel sorry for the man who expresses doubt as to the genuineness of the nationwide boom, or worldwide boom, as I believe it is l see that Bab- son is inclined to talk pessimistically in what he calls his barometer letter. but 1t is uphill business with him.

STICK TO HIS LAST
rom the New York Mail.

From the New York Mail
 The ancient story of the cobbler who stood before Q great painting and made a correct criticism of the shoes which were depicted with the seams in the wrong place. is recalled by an incident that happened in Chicago last week. The hero was a shoe clerk, and the story shows that shoe clerk learns to know shoes just as Caesar learned to know the names of all his captains.
 The shoe clerk and his bride had got separated on a crowded street while they were going to a hotel. The man secured the aid of an officer from police headquarters to help him find his wife, They had reached the spot where the bride had disappeared when a rainstorm came on. The shoe clerk watched the feet of people passing through the rain with umbrellas over their heads
 Suddenly he cried out: Minnie, Minnie! Wait once. Here is Wilhelm.
 He had found his bride again. All he had seen of her were her feet. She asked him how he recognized her when she was hidden by a raincoat and umbrella
 Don't you suppose I know the shoes I sold you myself last week." said the happy shoe clerk

Taft Loses California

In the second primary of this year Roosevelt and Hiram Johnson have again swept California, and in the coming state convention bull moose candidates for electors only will be named, and their names will go on the official ballot in November under the republican designation.
 The Taftites would stand wholly disfranchised if nominations by peti- ton were not allowed. As things stand Taftian nominations can be placed on the official ballot provided they can secure the signature of per cent of the total vote cast throughout the state in the last general election. Every Taftian candidate for elector must file petition embracing the signatures of 11,000 qualified voters This is no light task, for the names must be those of qualified voters. Hav- ing secured such petitions their names will be placed on the official ballot, but they will not be placed on it un- der the party designation. They will have to run as independents" or ho- boes. To this complexion has the re- actionary party come at last in the great state of California.

Ohio's Reform Battle

All of the 42 constitutional amend ments in Ohio were carried except the one relating to woman suffrage. The majority against woman suffrage may go to 100000.
 The majority in favor of the initia- tive and referendum may reach 100,- 900. The recall as distinct proposi- ton was not submitted, but Proposal No. IA really establishes it, and No. IA was adopted by large majority. This amendment provides for new method of removal of all state of ficers, including judges, in addition to the old impeachment process. The leg islature is given authority to enumer- ate causes other than "moral turpi- tude" which the amendment specifics, which shall be sufficient to bring an official up for hearing as to whether he shall be removed from office. This comes pretty near to being the recall, for what one legislature refuses to do the next one may do.
 Ohio now has one of the most ad- vanced constitutions in the country. No state has a more sweeping pri- mary provision. "All nominations, says Proposal No. 26, "for elective state, district, county and municipal office" shall by it's terms be by pri- mary It is a death blow to the con vention system in Ohio. Nominations can no longer be made in that state by petition. The primary in which the people act directly is the sole method of nomination to office in Ohio now, and the democrats did it.
