not reach the cause. South Paris resi-
dents would do we'll to profit by the fol-
lowing example.

CONVENTION HABIT.

Chicago dispatch to the Washing
ton Times: Men who get the con-
vention habit never get over IT.
There are folks here right now, q
lot of 'em, too, occupying first class
rooms in the best hotels, who will
go home broke, and stay broke for
the next year, as the penalty OF
their fun. No difference; they
would rather eat at free lunch
counters than miss the little exper-
fence of rubbing elbows with great
ness. in this most democratic OF all
gatherings, for few days.
The leaders and leadership change
to a considerable extent from con-
vention to convention, but the mass
Of people who come always includes
a large proportion of these old time
regulars who simply couldn't stay
away IL the doctor ordered them to.
It makes the national conventions
the most interesting social func-
lions In the world. There isn't any
thing like national convention In
any other country; and, sooth to
say, 1t probably will not be with US
in its present form, many years
more. Bill Finn was telling the
boys about that this morning. -
"The preferential primary is COM
ing; It's here. In fact" he said.
1.-THE state and the local primary
have captured the country. Conven-
lions are going to be different from
this time; this is the last OF it,
kind that we will ever see"
Everybody understands that that
is true. There will be national con-
ventions, doubtless for many years
yet; but they will not make presi-
dents; they will merely record, rat
ify. and announce, as cash regis
ter or voting machine might do.
The country will know who has
been nominated long before the con-
vention meets, and there will be no
arrangements for the delegates and
the national committee, the bosses.

With several other aviators she
was under contract to fulfill a series
of engagements in the middle west
this summer.
Miss Clark was native of Lon
don and was married soon after her
arrival in America, friends here
made known last night. She had not
been living with Mr.. Clark for some
time they averred. She was arrang-

Chicago field, having no practice
for a month after getting her Ii
cense, when the engagement at
Springfield was made and she felt
she would be able to keep it in spite
of her little recent flying practice.
Mrs. Clark is the second aviator
to meet death in an aeroplane. The
first such death was that of Miss
