Two Standards OF Honor.

"a >~~A ~
Governor Wilson towards the
Massachusetts primaries compli-
cation. The cases are quite sim
liar. In each instance the voters
expressed a preference for one
man for President, but elected
delegates pledged to another.
. Before the primaries were
held, the Roosevelt managers
made a proposition to the Taft
managers, that, whichever set of
delegates were elected, they
should vote for the candidate re-
ceiving the highest preferential
vote. This proposition was de-
clined.
Notwithstanding this declina-
ton released the Roosevelt dele
gates from any obligation, save
that of a high sense of Difference
to the popular will, Mr.. Roose-
velt has written them letter re-
leasing them from any pledge to
himself and urging them to vote
for President Taft. He places
this on the ground that he is con-
tending for principle and not for
personal am mbition, and the cor
ner stone of that principle is
popular government. A major
ity of the voters having expressed
a preference for President Taft,
loyalty to that principle he de-
clares. requires that he use his
influence to have his eight dele
gates vote for the President.
This is the highest expression
of political honor and principle
that has yet found utterance
from any source That he will
not be given credit for sincerity
by his rabid opponents goes
without saying. But, whatever
his motives, he has at least said
| it, which is more than any other
candidate on either side has
done.
Contrast with this the Wilson
attitude, The preferential vote
for Speaker Clark over Cover
nor Wilson was much more de
cided than that for Taft over
Roosevelt, but, so far as taking
the Roosevelt attitude, the man
ayers of Governor Wilson are
already rejoicing over the fact
that some of the delegates cleo
ted under a pledge to Governor
Foss have said they would vote
for Wilson as a second choice.
In thus ignoring the overwhel-
ming popular expression Of pref
erence for Mr.. Clark, the Wilson
managers are not getting first
vote delegates, but only hope to
become a residuary legatee.
This slight regard for equity
and popular will expressed in
the regular way provided by law
somewhat confirms the diagno-
sis of the Wilson character made
some weeks ago by Colonel Har-
vey and Colonel Watterson in
t h a t memorable tricornered
eruption.
| Had Colonel Roosevelt's choice
of language during the past few
weeks been as excellent as that
shown in this declaration of his
submission to the popular will!
as matter of principle, he
would stand far higher than he
does to-day in the roll of instruc-
ted delegates. st. Louis Star.

BONEHEAD BASEBALL.
This Was About the Richest Double
Play Ever Perpetrated.

This Was About the Richest Double
Play Ever Perpetrated.
Double boneheads are rare in base
ball-scarcer than hens teeth, and
naturally SO. for the completion of q
bonehead requires vigilance and quick
thinking by the opposition. Still, dou-
BILE concretes happen ever and anon,
the most famous one possibly being
that pulled by Cozy Dolan and Harry
Gessler at Chicago several years ago.
On this occasion Dolan had reached
second in the ninth, and one was
down, the score at the time being in
favor of the Cubs by one run mar
gin. The next batter hoisted a long
fly over center field. Gessler grabbed
the ball and. deciding that it was the
third out, tucked the ball in his pock-
ct and flew for the clubhouse.
Dolan, instead Of taking advantage
Of the break to score the tying run,
also figured that it was the third out
and followed Gessler across the field,
while a ravlng mob of players from
both teams, surrounding them, tried
to impress the horror of the situation
upon them.
Artie Holman finally took the ball
away from Gessler, chased Dolan to
the clubhouse and made the putout at
the edge of the bathtub. That was
the richest double break on record,
but there have been a few others al
most as funny.

JUICE OF THE POPPY.
The Flowers Are Lanced to Obtain the
Crude Opium.

Crude Opium.
It is probable that few owners Of
flower beds are aware that the pop
pies they cultivate purely for ornament
will, IL treated correctly, produce OPT
um. When the flower petals have fall
en-, leaving the seed capsule bare, there
will exude, If an incision is made in
that body, sticky juice. This juice
is opium. 1t varies in certain chemical
qualities according to the country
wherein it is cultivated and the vari-
ETY. Of plant wherefrom it is produced
Although the poppy will grow in al
most any climate, 1t is In the east it
the land has been plowed and harrow
ed the poppy seed Is sown, about six
pounds of seed being sufficient for
one-third Of an acre. Just as soon as
1t begins to terminate, about a week
after sowing in certain localities, the
land is divided by burrows into rec
tangular beds about eight feet in length
by four in breadth. These channels
are employed for irrigation, as the
plants need frequent watering, some
times even until the time of maturity.
About two months and half after
termination the flower appears, and its
four petals are gently removed on the
third day after their expansion, to be
pasted together with the leaves des-
tined to form the outer shell Of the
opium cake. Then after about eight
or ten days the capsules are lanced-at
highland the juice which has exud
ed from the incisions is scraped off In
the morning with a small scoop and
transferred to metal or earthen YES
sci. This prSrrs is repeated three or
four times at intervals Of two or three
days. the result being pure opium.
The flower petals. the plant leaves and
the stalks have also a considerable
value for packing purposes. The thick
er portions of the stalk are used by
natives for firewood.
The crude opium having been gath
cred, it is stored by the cultivator and
carefully watched and examined from
time to time in order that no mold or
faint may attack it. Finally the opium
Is made into cakes. dried, packed in
boxes and removed to market for sale.

"Some Better Thing For U.s."
We are not to infer that those glori-
Gus characters who lived before
Christ's time were less faithful than
the Gospel Church, but merely that
God promised them the earthly per-
lection, while He has promised the
Bride Of Christ the heavenly perfec
ton. They will not, like the remainder
Of mankind, come forth to attain per
lection gradually during the thousand
years of Messiah's reign; the record is
that they will come forth perfect
human beings. That will be the re-
ward Of their faithfulness.
st. Paul explains the entire matter in
Hebrews, the 18th chapter. He de-
clares, "All these died in faith, not
having received the earthly things
promised to them, God having provided
some better thing for US Ghe Church,,
that they, without US, should not be
made perfect" The glorification of tie
Church, her resurrection to perfection,
must be accomplished before the bless
ings through them can proceed to the
natural seed of Abraham, and through
Israel to all nations. XII, $40.
Not tho Bride but the Friend.
John the Baptist declared, He that
hath the Bride is the Bridegroom, but
the friend of the Bridegroom, hearing
His voice, rejoiceth greatly. This my
Joy therefore is fulfilled" John i'll, 29.)
He perceived that in Gods providence
he had a very honorable and blessed
station and work to accomplish, buC he
was to be neither the Bridegroom nor
a member of the Bride class.
And the other Ancient Worthless will
not be disappointed when they come
forth in the resurrection to find
Bride class selected to higher place
than theirs. On the contrary, their cup
of blessing being full, and never hav-
ing been begotten to a spirit nature.
they will not be able to comprehend
any blessings higher than their own.
Just. for instance, as a fish in the wa
ter, seeing a bird flying in the air,
would not be jealous Of the bird and
its greater freedom, but, on the con-
trary, would be better satisfied in the
water, its natural element.
