2 SUCCESSFUL DIRECT PRIMARIES

lar will they surpass the convention method. Viewed from this standpoint the direct primaries are an over whelming success, as much of suc- cess as the first locomotive was, al- though that was crude affair com pared with the locomotives that suc- 'ceeded it..
 We are aware that the disappoint- ment of our contemporary is due to emergence of MT. Roosevelt. which does seem at first glance like . direct primary error. But reflect upon the bosses who have disappear ed, Penrose. Cox. Crane, Bailey. sulli- van, Guffey and multitudes more of big and little bosses whose fame was not national.
 So far as Republicans were con- cefned in this revolution Roosevelt was a necessary instrument. It was not Roosevelt that carried the pri- maries but the cause he espoused at the eleventh hour. against the settled convictions of his adult life time.

WoHn- en are not fitted to take part in the mad scramble for office, she dec1aree and possibly the recent exchanges of rhpartee between her husband and Col. Roosevelt have confirmed that opinion.

 Perhaps the public question which concerns Mrs. Taft most deeply iq that relating to divorce. She asserfs that present conditions are shocking and demoralizing," and that the pre- valence of divorce is the greatest menace to the public veal.

HOW THEY. LOVE HIM
What Counecticut's Oldest Republican |N Newspaper Thinks of the Distin- guished Hero of San Juan
 Hill

Hartford Courant editorial. June 3.)
 The Colonel told one of his New Jersey audience that he kept out of Connecticut this spring because Con- necticut did not have the direct prf- mary. Also that, if we'd had it, he would have stumped Connecticut and beaten William H.. Taft in the State three to one. We suppose the Jer- seymen took this funny bit of .'bounce' seriously. The Colonel him. self, of course, knows better. He was very we'll aware of what would hap pen to him if he invaded Connecticut. That's why he stayed away.

acy of her statement and one of them asked her why, if she thought so poorly of the company, she had not sold her stock and thus freed her conscience. She replied that she pre- ferred to stay in and do something about it.
 On the whole, however, the confer ence was most amicable and the offi- cials decided to send the report for verification to the men in charge of the various departments. When it was clear that her statements were borne out by the facts, they agreed to carry out as far as possible the re- forms which she recommended. The physical examination made of all the men employed in work which exposed them to industrial diseases
 Meanwhile the new occupational dis ease act came into force in Illinois and obliged the Pullman Company to do aNay with certain of the dangers described. The fumes of the glass department had to be confined or car- ried away and provisions made for lunch rooms, wash rooms, and special working clothes for the men engaged in handling the poison. The law does not touch the men in the depart ments which are dusty but not poison ous. The company, however, has been impressed with the results of the medical examination and decided to go beyondathe law and to include un- der special protective care not only the men in the poisonous but those in the dusty departments-sand blasting, glass cutters, metal polishers and buffers. and asbestos cutters. All arc now provided with respirators and are given a medical examination once a month. The company at present em- ploys five physicians, where it had but one. All the sand blasting in accordance with the preference of the men is now done out of doors. The men either wear helmets very much like .thost of diver, or work inside small portable houses with canvas covered openings through which their arms pass and with window to look through, so as to control the work and yet be protected from the dust.
 To protect the interior painters against lead poisoning the company has decided to adopt compound of lead that is much less poisonous than ordinary white lead. There is a very evident feeling of solicitude for the health and safety of the men at Pull man now and readiness to go to great length in the prevention of ac- cidents and illness. It needed only that the conditions should be placed clearly and with a certain insistence before the officials of the company for them to recognize the necessity for changes.
 Surely it is not rash to assume that the same thing would be true of most large companies. The evils that exist are often long standing and it simply has not occurred to anyone to inquire if they are still inevitable or if modern methods of protection would not do away with them.

THE STOCK MARKET
(Watson, Alpers & Co.,

We have such strong underlying favorable conditions in the country, the outlook for crops is so good, and the accumulation of money is suffi- cient to justify better times and great prosperity We believe it's coming and not many months off at that. In the meantime bear attacks are likely and some declines in prices, especial ly in the more highly speculative is- sues, but with the best class of stocks in strong hands and money easy, it will be difficult to dislodge them. Tt looks like further waiting on events.

RICH, HELD AS DEGENERATE

PORTLAND, Dec 20. - Nathan B. Harvey, said to be worth $100,- 900, has been arrested for the mur- der of the four members of his family in this city in June last. The arrest occurred at Oregon City. The crime created great excitement and was that of a degenerate.
 Harvey lives near the cabin at Ardenwald, a suburb of this city, in which the four members of the Hill family were battered to death with an axe. Harvey is a nurseryman at Ardenwald. He is 52 years old married and has one daughter near ing womanhood.
 The history of the Harvey fam fly for p years has been one of tragedy and many years ago the father was killed, shortly after deed ing his property to his sons. Dan Harvey, brother of Nathan, killed his mother fifteen years ago and committed suicide. Another broth CT was drowned in two feet of water under suspicious circumstan- ces.
 Eighteen years ago a 16-year-old girl named Mamie Welch was found dead on the property belonging to Nathan Harvey under circumstances similar to the Hill tragedies. The murderer was not discovered

DANCER LIVES SEMI.ROYALLY

LONDON. Nov 25. - The lengths to which the Covent Garden man agement has been forced to go in order to combat the unwelcOme com petition of Oscar Hammerstein in opera is shown by the importation from Russia of Madame Mathilde kOhessinska, who is living in semi royal state at the Savoy hotel ac- companied. there and elsewhere by the Grand Duke Andrel Vladimiro- witch of Russia
 The Grand Duke Andrel, who is a first cousin of the czar. is following in the gay and noble footsteps of his elder brothers the Grand Dukes Boris and Cyril
 It has become known that high social influence amounting almost diplomacy. was resorted to in order to induce Madame Kohessinska. to
 
 for few nights before the aristoc racy of England
 In Russia Madame Kohessinska dances only when especially con- manded by the ear. This happens only on rare occasions. She yields to royal command merely to gratify her love of the art, never for he vulgar purpose of money making. For Madame Kohessinska, be It un- derstood, is the richest actress and the richest dancer in the world She has two palaces in Russia at both of which the Grand Duke Anirel is obeyed by the servants with as much difference as they accord to their beautiful and famous mistress

 The other day she ordered tele- phone installed, and the company's workmen started in. Presently the boss" called out from the lawn
 We can't run the wire in without damaging that tree" he said, point ing to a fine old elm tree near the piazza Tt cant be done"
 Very we'll" replied the young woman smiling, then you needn't put in the phone" and she re-enter- ed the house.
 Did the electricians go away?" asked the correspondent, who assur- edly believes that man should think twice before insisting upon his boasted mental superiority to the other sex
 No, sir. They put in the phone and without harming the tree"
 "A man, now" he concludes, would have argued half hour over the matter"

A lonely life and d poor he'd led. This prospeetor old and grey; But never tear in secret shed On his solitary way; For th twas for gold he had
 sought in vain, Twas not for the gold that is mere. ly gain. He never had known what the gold
 lust meant
 That malady fierce and grim: Tho he'd struck il he'd never have
 been content In the quest vas the joy for him; For the wind as ii sang Dhro' he
 forest spires Would have called him back to it's
 altar fires, Sa-tho' he found not treasure of
 gold
 In the breast of the kindly earth: He discovered a gem in the scented
 mould
 Called the joy of Spiritual Worth, No man may have bath. be he never
 so great. The lion runs not far with lamb
 for its mate, And so as the end for him drew nigh. Lying there in his lonely cot. For Regret or Despair he had not d

 Content al last with his lot: He spake with himselr-an old habit
 of his And his Drain of thought was akin
 10 this: The last lone trail must be irod

 The trail To The further shor.; Nor sign of it's footsteps may be

 victor the cheers" Tn vain you'll say have been all my
