Meat Shrinkaae In Cooking.

A recent consular report calls atten-
ton to the tests at the London cleo
trical exposition which demonstrated
that the shrinkage of meat when cook
ed in a coal range Is somewhat greater
than that Of the same meat cooked In
a gas range and considerably more
than when cooked in an electric range.
A leg Of mutton weighing 8 pounds 8
ounces showed a shrinkage Of 2 pounds
II ounces when cooked in the coal
range, whereas a leg Of mutton weigh
ing nine pounds showed a loss Of l
pound 4 ounces when cooked in an elec-
trio oven. The shrinkage for the gas
oven was 2 pounds 4 ounces on an
eight pound leg Of mutton.

BRYAN PREDICTS VICTORY,
Democratic Leader Comments Upon
Political Situation,

Political Situation.
SPOKANE, March {. -"we can
prove by Mr.. Roosevelt that Taft
ought not to be nominated and by Mr..
TAFT that Roosevelt ought not to be
nominated. l think both of them are
right"
With these words William j. Bry an
prefaced his address yesterday to
q mass meeting of democrats that
overlooked the auditorium.
He declared that one reason Why the
democratic party is on the way to sue
cess is because it ~pre-empted years
ago the ground along which the road
to prosperity must run. He said the
republicans must come " with the
democrats or keep off that road.
I'VE expected to have to fight for
our principles unassisted," he said.
We never expected the help from the
republicans we are getting. If Mr..
Taft is nominated they cannot with
draw the Indictment MIR. Roosevelt
has made against him. If Mr.. Roose.
velt is nominated we will be In q posi-.
ton to suggest that If the republican
party has fallen 80 low that only one
man in it is fit for president, they had
better get q new party and begin
over"
Mr.. Bryan repeated In part his re-
cent speech in Portland. In discussing
publicity of campaign contributions
he made q plea for enforced publicity
OF the ownership of newspapers.

A DEMOCRATIC PROTEST.

The proposition to postpone the
democratic national convention for
the purpose of taking adv antage OF
any mistake or disagreement that may
develop in the republican party, does
not appeal to many western democratic
newspapers. The Missoula Sentinel,
for instance, makes this vigorous pro-
test:
Democrat attic sen ators at Washington
are urging their national committee to
postpone their national convention,
60 that it may be known without doubt
what the republican convention ere ates
in the way OF q ticket and platform.
To choose June 25th and Baltimore
was bad enough, but to make q change
merely to see what the other fellows
do would be superlative stupidity.
But it is stupidity that seems to have
become chronic on the part OF demo
G ratio leaders. That party has long
carried the odium OF being merely q
negative party, q mere kicker, Q would
be, an also-ran. Time and again 1,

in order to cut It's cloth to the Other
fellows measure, and the old moss

again fell Ia at the ear OF the pro
cession to whine that the fellows ir

More cowardice and stupidity, q
this time, when the issue Is more
clearly than ever before between oil
garchy and democracy! A sickenine
greed for the spoils, when the people
don't care q continental who gets thu

definitely, for progress and return of

forth. 1t ought to declare for its own

REFUSAL OF OVERTIME PAY

Trouble between the sailors and

the trouble. From his statements it

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS SOON
TO Be ESTABLISHED IN HAWAII

Orders to establish the postal saw

Frank ]. Hare. Already official in
structions have been received by the
local office to stand ready to open the
new department. and to have a place
in the Office available for taking care
of such a branch on short notice. To
this end, therefore, the new room
which is being fitted up in the Nc
Candless Block is being prepared with
this in mind, although the registry
division will probably use a part Of
the additional space in any event, and
could well make use of it all.

But numbers gained the day. When
the motion to discontinue the reading
of Mr.. Copelandis course of study and
take up the question of modifying
superintendent Pope's outlined plan
put to the meeting, it was carried by
la vote of nine to seven.
But the enthusiasm of the minority
was only temporarily dampened by the
setback and, although the old guard
managed to keep the fire of insurgency
in a smoldering state, there were un-
expected times when the fire would
break out beyond control with the re-
suit that the one piece of business ac-
compl'shed-the appointment of a COM
mittee of fifteen principals to work
on Mr. Pope's pan of study-was car
ried on the motion of one of the lead
err of the insurgents, J. c. Davis.
Mr. Baldwin reopened the meeting
this morning by moving that Mr.. Cope
lands course of study be squelched
