Interstate MeddIinu

Governor Wilson and his friends may know what they are about in trying to dictate the nomination of a democratic candidate for governor of New York and to force the with drawal of Governor Dix. Such a course may have been necessary to hold the wavering support of MT. Hearst and his considerable Inde- pendence league following which of late, has shown a disposition to join the progressive movement.
 Dix, however, has a strong follow ing in the state outside of the city, to say nothing of the powerful influ- ence of Tammany between which and the upstate democracy there is usu- ally little in common. These elements would naturally resent the interfer- ence of the democratic presidential candidate the more since the quarrel is a domestic disturbance, one with which outsiders are not concerned
 Governor Wilson's active participa- tion in the recent senatorial fight in his own state is said to have imper- fled his chances there. It would seem that his intervention in the affairs of the democrats of New York would still more menace his chances there
 The governor is either 8 very bold and conscientious man to run these apparently needless risks, or he is a very weak man to be forced into talk ing them. Anyway, he is apparently a very foolish man.

Continuation of a Schism

The anti -administratiOnists yester- day made use of the power which they took into their hands the day before by expressing their disapproval of the governor, or rather, ostentatiously failure to express their approval of him. This schism between the gover nor and a majority of the leaders of his party may be said to have had its beginning in the preliminary skir- mishing for the organzation of the lower house of the legislature. Previ ous to that there was no serious fac tional division in the party. The gov ernor's interference in natural struggle which was purely personal forced the election of his candidate for speaker. It was then that the trou- ble began The governor quickly found a hostile majority in the house. The hostility spread from members 70 constituents and throughout the session much legislation was passed by the house for no other reason than that the governor did not want it. Some was blocked for no other reason than that the governor desired it.
 The next manifestation of disap- provaI was in the Ling -O'Neill contest for national committeeman in which the administration was understood to favor O'Nein and in which Ling was chosen without an effort.
 Then came the election of precinct committeeman who should choose state committeeman There the an tagonists of the governor were at work. When the state committee met there was evidently no purpose to make an outward show of antagonlsm to the governor There had been many expressions, in fact, almost unanimous, expressions of dissatls- faction with his prison reform pro- gram but that dissatisfaction was not so deep seated as to warrant a break with the governor.
 Whether or not he took any part or felt any special interest in the or ganization of the committee many oi his personal friends and appolntees did. and the scenes about the hotels and the committee room reminded one
 of those preceding the organization oi the legislature Though the fight was a hopeless one for the friends ot the administration they injudiciously ln- | feet g. lot of unnecessary bitterness

The Republican Platform

One who reads the platform adopted by the republican council yesterday can have no doubt as to the stand to which the patty is committed on every position that concerns Ari- Zonians. There is no straddling. Every declaration is unequivocal The platform is for woman suffrage and says so in language that may not be misunderstood
 The platform declares for the initi- ative, referendum and recall but wig orously attacks the application of the recall to the Judiciary as vicious and so revives, a question for the cam paign which our democratic friends seem to be desirous of forgetting.
 There is an unqualified endorse ment of President Taft and dec laration in favor of a protective tariff and in favor of the extension of the period for the payment of reclama- ton projects from ten to twenty years
 
 people of this state has been omitted or glOssed over
 It is a remarkable thing and almost without precedent that when the members of the council came together not one of them had even a rough draft of a platform; not one had a hobby which he thought might be developed into a vote catcher. The platform was constructed by hard work from the foundation in the presence of all the members. Very few of the blanks finally inserted met with unanimous approval but all had the approval of the majority and were accepted by the minority as the will of the party.
 When the work was concluded, the platform was a we'll balanced, sensi- ble document, containing no extrane- ous matter and from which nothing essential had been omitted.

suffraae Stands Unopposed

Politicians as a rule are opposed to equal suffrage. It is not unnatural that the dominant party and the sue cessful politicians should be opposed to the admission of an element that might disturb the equilibrium. Thus, in antagonizing woman suffrage they have always proceeded upon the the ory that it is always best to leave well enough alone.
 Where equal suffrage has so far obtained a foothold it has been an in cident generally of a revolution in which the dominant party has been overthrown by combination of ele- ments which had been in subjection or had been disregarded.
 That was the case in Colorado and also in Kansas. In Oregon, though, the republican party had not been beaten. it was obliged to accept many things. among them, woman suffrage, to save itself from defeat Woman suffrage was brought about in Cali fornia in a somewhat different way. There it was a part of a triumphant progressive movement,
 But the course the cause is taking in this state. we believe, is without l precedent Two years ago woman suffrage outside of a small group of socialists and laborites in the consti- tutional convention. was treated with contumely. A little later democratic politicians began flirting with the ladies for campaign purposes and pledges were made or left to be in ferred that laid the party liable to an action for breach of promise. 1 Whatever ardor there had been for equal suffrage had burned out before the legislative session was we'll under way. It was with difficulty that a proposed constitutional amendment was adopted and in all probability it would have failed if the majority had not been confident of it's defeat at the polls
 Now. within three months, all party opposition has vanished. All parties in the state are now outwardly al least for equal suffrage. The poli- ticians, we suppose, are not recon ciled to it but they are so committed to it that there can be no organized opposition.
 The adoption of the amendment ot course. is not assured but there car be little doubt that it will be adopted But whether it shall be or not, equa suffrage now occupies the field witt not an enemy in sight, a position that it never before occupied anywhere.

Handy Life Insurance Policy.

A curious festival takes place an.
nually in the village Of Isobe, in the
southern province Of Japan. The fessi-
val is called the Omita, and attracts
large crowds from neighboring c.s-
tricts. The young men, stripping OF
their clothing, take their positions IN
q rice field, where they struggle vio-
lently with one another for possession
of a decorated bamboo pole. The man
who succeeds in pulling the pole down
promptly cuts it into pieces, which ne
distributes among his less fortunate
competitors, retaining a portion for
himself. 1t is believed that If any ole
meets with a storm out at sea he en-
easily save himself from a wate-I'
grave by simply throwing a portion o.
this pole into the sea. With a handy
life insurance policy of this kind to De
obtained at the price of little effort,
it can be understood that the struss !e
for the pole is distinctly strenuous

CROSS STITCH DESIGN
GOOD WAY BY WHICH TROUBLE
MAY BE AVOIDED.
PrecautIon That Frequently VIII Save
the Necessity Of Doing the Entire
Work Over Again Having
Proper Canvas Is Important.


The most careful counter Of threads
Is liable to unpleasant surprises when
the end or corner or a cross
stitch thread may ruin an entire de-
sign and the work will have to be done
again.
There are two ways to avoid this
trouble. If the finished piece need not
be exact in measurements lay the hem
along one side and end. Begin In the
angle this formed and work the sides
as far as desired, stopping when there
is no more room to repeat the pattern
and add the hem.
Return to the angle and work the
end In the same way. Then lay the
other two hens and the rest of the
design is accurately fitted.
When the finished piece must be a
given size, start the design from each
end and work toward the middle. II
there is a discrepancy it is easy to
make up a connecting figure that will
look Intentional. Treat the ends in the
same way.
The secret Of good cross-stitching
Is to have the cross-stitch always slant
in the same direction. To insure tbs
mark the top Of the work with few
stitches run in the hem. This makes
mistakes in direction impossible.
When the end and size are finished
turn the piece entirely around and
work the opposite direction, which
gives the same general slant.
Much of the effect Of cross-stitch
work depends upon the canvas. II
pays to get that specially prepared for
this embroidery, as ordinary canvas
is uneven, and may ruin the work.
The imported canvas from Germany Is
best liked, as it is even, fine, and the
threads pull easily.
For the fine work used In towels
and other Empire designs choose a
very fine canvas and a lightweight cot
ton. The results are far daintier than
when bold, coarse, cross-stitching Is
done. With the right kind OF canvas.
Ills stitching nay appear as exquisite
az soli:; embroidery.
n ret attempt TO do your cross
stitching directly on the material IN
less on certain very open mesh
weaycs. The threads are sure to be
Irregular, and the work will not be
accurate, besides being hard on the
eyes. The time taken to haste on
bits of canvas and pull out threads
when finished will be saved many
times over in working.
Unless very proficient, do not at.
tempt shaded cross.stitching without
a colored pattern. These designs must
be regular, and do not lend themselves
to haphazard shading.
