Cookery

= Split peas make a fine and inexpen-
sive soup: Soak one cup of dried peas
over night, or a few hours Boil until
tender, with bits of ham to give
flavor and rub through a colander
Season to taste with red pepper and
more salt if needed. Add a spoonful
of WHIPPED cream to each dish when
served. Croutons are nice served
with soup. Cut bread in small pieces,
say about three-fourths of an inch
square. Spread with a little butter
and brown in the oven.
Creamed oysters are popular at this
time of the year. Take the liquor off
quart of oysters, add a cupful of
cream and place it over the fire,
bringing it to a boil. Thicker the
cream mixture with tablespoonful OF
flour and one of butter. Drop the
oysters into pan with the liquor and
cream and cook the oysters until they
begin to curl. Serve these on toast
or in pattie shells. Scalloped oys
ters require a quart of scalloped oys-
ters from which the liquor has been
drained. The oysters are washed
rolled in cracker crumbs and placed
in pan on layer of cracker crumbs
Then use layer of crumbs. some bits
of butter. pepper and salt, alternat
ing until the pan is filled with layers
of crumbs and oysters. Add a cup
full of oyster liquor and sweet milk

This syrup should be given lukewarm

When Comparisons are Made

An illustration of the difference be
tween reliable Republican enactment
of law and unreliable Democratic en-
| actment of law was given Monday
when Democratic supreme court sus
tanned the railroad commission law
as enacted by the Republican General
Assembly of 1907, and declared I'M
constitutional that portion of the de.
Tense fund law enacted by the Demo-
cratic assembly two years ago, which
sought to permit the expenditure OF
$4,000 in defense of Colorado's water
rights.
The railroad commission law as en-.
acted by the Republicans was draft
given months in thought and consider
alton to each section. Since 1t was
enacted 1t has stood the test of the
Colorado supreme court under three
different suits, and OF the federal
court under one suit Each time the
courts have held that under its pro
visions and commission has the right
to make reasonable orders concern
ing the transportation of either the
freight or the passengers and the cost
thereof, and that 1t has the further
right to enforce those orders.
This law could not have stood these
vicious legal attacks unless II had
been properly drawn and given prope
consideration. At present Colorado
has one of, If not the best. railroad
commission laws in the United States.
and it has been upheld in every par
ticular by every court. From now on
commission cannot act as an arbiter
between the railroads and the people
on the disputed questions. Both the
railroads and the people have the Re
publican party and the Republican
legislature to thank for this law
Compare this with the defense fund
law. Because of a personal differ
ence between Governor Shafroth and
the members of the Democratic as
sembly each side attempted to double
cross the other in the enactment Of
all legislation. with the result that
one or the other "jokered" almost
every proposed law, and the people
got nothing at all.
Because OF this condition Colorado
is two years behind in her fight to
retain the waters of the state, which
naturally belong to her. If we lose
either of the five suits that are now
pending to secure the waters OF our
state the loss can be directly charged
to the fact that Governor Shafroth
and the members of his legislature
played personal politics with the time.
instead of being statesmen and bene-
ficial legislators.
What Is true in the comparison
between these two examples Is true
in almost every instance where Dem
I ocracy and Republicanism can be
compared. The former is inefficient
selfish and deceitfu.
The latter is efficient, capable and
honest.

MUCH MORE COSTLY
 THAN SPONTANEOUS
Terms on Which Roosevelt Enthusi
 asm at Chicago Was Procured.

That there will be a third party this year is the belief of j. C. Adams. who bases it on the circumstances that campaigns require much money. as George w. Perkins. Charles R. Crane, the Pinchots and the M'Cor- micks have already found out They realize, also, that what they have all ready spent would hardly be mark CT to what would be required in an after the convention campaign.
 Besides the outlook would be far less promising than the apparent prospect MT Roosevelt had of secur- ing the Chicago nomination which he and his followers believed was abso- lutely assured They have also learned that things are not always what they seem and that understand ing, too, is calculated to take the edge off somewhat
 The amount of money. said MT. Ad- ans, that was expended in giving an appearance to the Roosevelt furore in Chicago must have been appalling. There had never been anything like it in q convention city. The demon stration at first seemed to be Spon- taneouS and therefore free. but it turned out that almost every WhOOp
 and hurrah for Roosevelt was paid
 for at d stipulated price. Sometimes
 the enthusiasts demanded more.
 In front of every down town hotel

 the corner before procession of au-

 them and hold the crowd for while.
 It turned out that these women were. generally high priced opera singers.

 would appear. That was kept up night after night and was regarded as an expression of the outpourinS sentiment for MT. Roosevelt.

The paymester was about to give them $15O a head when they de murred and demanded $2.50. They were reminded that they had agreed to Whoop things up for the colonei at a dollar and a half day. That was true. they admitted, but they wanted more Manager Dixon was sent for and when he arrived he also reminded the enthusiasts of the agreement on a dollar and half day. Their spokesman replied that

LET ARIZONA
 HAVE A NAME
Suggestion for Getting the Right Kind Offered by MT. Charles E. Lummis, the Distinguished Maga- zine Writer.

The Republican has received from MT. Charles F. Lummis of Los Ange- les. the well known magazine owner and author of many books and secre- tary of the Southwest society, Archae- ological institute of America a sugges- tlon for securing pet name" for Ari- zona an1 the suggestion is one that should appeal to the people of this state. MI. Lummis does not believe that Arizona should be tagged The Cactus State" or the Aztec state" is some outsiders and fools have advised but that the nickname should be dig nified and appropriate.
 The best way to get such a name he says is oy public contest for a reas- enable prize and with competent judg- es. He says: It isn't really a joke for a sovereign state to be nicknamed. '.Tarheel' Gopher Sucker, or Web foot And the way to avoid it is to pick the name yourself with due re- spect to the dignity of the state. Ev- cry state with respectful nickname has done so.
 My interest in Arizona for twenty seven years may be known to you: and my fight for it in my magazine and the Hearst newspapers against Beveridge, some years ago.
 Tt may be that you will attach some importance to these suggestions. It would seem to be the proper function for the leading newspaper of the state 1 the only one, published every day in the year 1 should be glaI to cooper ate with you and will gladly throw my own hat into the rig if you will put up i the contest.

$50 FOR A WORD.
And Worth It, for the Best "Pet Name
 For Arizona.

A prize of $50 will be given to the person who suggests the happiest and most distinguishing Pet Name" for the newest of the states. From the pine tree state at one corner of the country to The Golden State at the other. each member of the union family has it's distinctive nickname. Some were chosen with love and historic sense and good taste, like:
 Maine the Pine-Tree state: New Hampshire, The Granite State; Yer mont: The Green Mountain State; Massachusetts. The old Bay State; New York. The Empire State; Penn sylvania. The Keystone State. Gas it was the keystone of the original 13 colonies); South Carolina, The Palmet- to State, Virginia The Old Dominion State
 Many states were nicknamed with less reverence but some taste and meaning, like:
 Rhode Island, The Little Rhody State; Texas. The Lone Star State; Iowa, The Hawkeye Statea Kansas, The Sunflower State; Kentucky The Bluegrass State; Louisiana, The Creole State.
 All these are respectable but none inspired.
 And many states wear nicknames that are much like the Brick Top" skinny" Fatty" Shorty" of the ju- venile wit of the primary schOOl-like: Oklahoma, The Sooner State; Illinois. The Sucker State; Indiana, The Hoosi- CT State; Minnesota, The Gopher State; $. Dakota. the Coyote State: WiscOn- sin, The Badger State: Michigan, The Wolverine State.
 The lack of imag agination and culture is a reflection on the depth of patriot ism. The name it's people give d state will stand in history as d guage of their intelligence.
 Arizona, as the newest star on the American flag. owes it to herself to pick pet name" worthy of her heroic history and her present culture; to profit by the past, and to improve upon it. It ought to select the best nick name yet.
