demic philosophy. The thrill of which
we have lately heard finds expression
in the precise terms of statutory Eng
fish
Generally speaking, the proposals Of
the seven bills, as summarized in the
dispatches and discussed last night
everywhere with intense interest, will
strike the impartial mind as meritor-
ious. They are in the liAe OF progress
by the proper road. II any constitu-
tional right is assailed by any provis-
ion in any bill the courts of New Jer-
sey, and in the last resort, the supreme
court OF the United States, will deal
competently with the invasion.
'As to the severer and more direct
penal pursuit of the individual or in

offenses against the law, there is little
TO be said. The day has gone by when
criminality can be disassociated from

THE REVOLVER NUISANCE

The attempt to regulate the carry
ing Of dangerous weapons by laws
making their concealment penal has
never worked and never will. The man
bent upon any crime which involves
the use of a revolver will never hest
tate to put one in his pocket because
putting it in his pocket is "a misde-
meanor. The law is useful and ought
to be enforced so far as it can be en-
forced, but some regulation is needed
which begins with the revolver itself
1t ought to be as hard to buy a re-
vClver as it is to buy a pound of prus-
SIC acid. To bring this about would
require a cooperation of the states with
the nation Interstate shipments of
arms and ammunition would have to
be regulated and dealers licensed.
Sales would need to be limited to those
having police permits and the whole
traffic vigorously restricted. All Of
this would take time and money, but
it would be thoroughly worth while.

WILSON'S SETTLED POLICY.

The hearty approval which the New
York Sun. supposed 10 be close TO the
interests. gives Governor Wilson's pro-
gram 10 make big business honest, is
significant. Governor Wilson has al
ways insisted TO make men honest by
legislation is a harsh way. and he has
pleaded that men should be honest be
cause Il is right. His antitrust and
anti-monopoly program for New Jersey
IL severe. II makes guilt personal. He
would not punish the corporation.
That the Sun endorsed this idea is
suggestive. II may mean that big bus
mess has been converted TO the VIII
son plan. Referring to the Wilson
bills that have been introduced in the
New Jersey legislature. the Sul says:
The measures introduced last night
at Trenton at the instance OF the next
president are defiRite. ineligible, dras-
tic and perfectly Indicative Of q settled
policy ca the part Of the most inhu-
entail person IN the United States.

There is a vast army of CONNER
cial travellers, popularity denominated
drummers, and it may be said without
exaggeration or flattery that on the
average they are among the most in
telligent and energetic of Americans,
unusually well posted on current
events and live issues. They are,
moreover, vitality interested in the
business of the country and earnestly
desire to vote. Besides the hundreds
of thousands of drummers, there are
other thousands of voters necessarily
absent from home on business on e.ec-
ticn day-students, preachers, doctors,
railroad men, ETC., etc. Most assuredly
it Is desirable for the public veal that
all good citizens should vote.
SUGGESTS STATE LEGISLATION.
I'm view of the foregoing facts, my
/ suggestion is that state legislatures
should pass laws enabling those nee
[ essarily absent from home on election
/ day to vote. 1t could easily be ar
ranged and safeguarded by providing
( that regulation ballots be furnished
UGH persons to be marked, signed,
sworn to and returned to the proper
{ election officers.
kansas now has such an election
law. While the legislatures are at
/ It, they would do we'll to change the
/ election day from Tuesday to Mon
day. so that the drummers who spend
! Sunday at home would not lose both
/ the Mondays and Tuesdays in order to
/ CITE. Congress should join in chang
! ing the election day.
81 most modestly submit my little
reform to the consideration and judg-
ment of the state legislatures"

Most men would gladly take his place
And shoulder all his obligations,
Though there are lines upon his face
And he has few and brief vacations;
Most men would gladly, if they might.
Be where he is and have his money;
But nothing fills him with delight,
To him there's nothing that is funny.
His look is solemn, in his eyes
There never turks a merry twinkle;
Among his lines of care there lies
Not even one mirth-given wrinkle;
With sober looks he goes his way,
By one grim purpose animated
From him, hard-featured, bent and gray,
No jest has ever enanated.
Yet there are men who watch him pass,
Permitting envy to possess them
Men who are hated by no class,
And who have few Ills to distress them
Men who sometimes forget a while
That only money is worth getting,
Who watch the nimble clown, and smile,
Too glad to waste the moment fretting.
His wealth is great, his station high,
But, by one purpose driven daily,
He has no tims to ever try
To let his solemn tones ring gayly:
Yet there are men who envy him
Who, even while he piles up money,
Remains Manufactured and as grim
AS death and just about as funny.

The Results of Two Great Eeg-Layins
Contests

The Results Of Two Great Eeg-Layins
Contests.
The current issue of Farm and Fire
side contains the results Of two great
egg-laying contests. One was held at
Storrs, Conn. at the Connecticut eX-
pertinent station, and 400 hens con
tested. The other was held at the
Missouri State Poultry experiment sta
ton. Mountain Grove. Mo, where G5j
hens contested. Following is an ex-
tract:
The champion laying hen in the
Missouri contest was Lady Showyou,'
a White Plymouth Rock hailing from
Illinois. This hen laid PSI eggs dur
ing the year She lacked but one egg
of equaling the best official record
made "a this country, which was 2S2
eggs laid by a Barred Rock at Guelph,
Canada. Lady Showyou's eggs aver
aged a little over two ounces each,
fetal weight of 30 pounds for her
years production.
The heaviest layer in the Connec-
ticut contest was S. c. Rhode Island
Red. She produced 254 eggs which
weighed 80 pounds.
There were Al hens in the Conlec-
ticut contest that laid over 200 eggs
each during the year. the average of
these high producers being 223 eggs
per hen. One hen out OF II entered
in both contests laid over 200 eggs.
In the Missouri contest the average
Co. IT, 20 bans lovgp1 orar oO0 auga
was 2l5 eggs per hen.
THE Cos hens in the Missouri con
test laid an average of 134 eggs pet
hen. The 419 in the Connecticut con-
test laid al average Of 1913 eggs per
hen. The contesting hens came from
nearly every section OF the country
from the Atlantic TO the Pacific, from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf Of Mex
leo. also several pens from Canada
and one from England in the Connec-
ticut contest.
The Australians are in advance of
the breeders OF this country in breed
ing for egg production. The leading
pen ia the Connecticut contest aver
aged 214 eggs per hen, and In the
Missouri contest 2Os eggs per hen,
but the leading pen in the Australian
contest which recently closed. aver
aged $50 eggs per hen. Also IA the
same Australian contest, $50 hens
gathered from 90 different breeders
made an average Of nearly 200 eggs
+ per hen for the entire 800 But they
have been conducting these contests
IN that country for ten years or long
er. and the people have been educated
to breed for egg production The av-
erage farm hen does not lay more than
so eggs per year at present II we
can raise the average 20 even $50 or
$50 eggs per hen. we can double or
treble the profit in poultry to those en-
gagged Ia the business"

lst. Louis Republic.)


Robberies on the highway and in
stores. shooting ARRAYS and murders
serve as daily reminders of the fact
that the habit of revolver carrying Is
one which must be suppressed il Amer
lea is ever to reach a rank in the GRIM
iral statistics of nations which Will
nor be a standing reproach to Ameri-
cans.
II is clear that no single state can
purge itself in this matter so long as
most OF the states continue to be lax
and Indifferent. If the St Louis police
were to confiscate every illegally can
ried revolver in the city today the
only result would be a brisk trade for
dealers in weapons. If all the men who
carry revolvers Illegally were arrested
the constant fiux and flow of the idle
and vicious classes would ell the city
again with gun toters" from other
states in little while

Mushrooms have a wonderful deli
cacy in fiavoring, and this is where
their chief value lies. While they are
usually placed with the heterogeneous
foods, II is because they do not con-
tain starch or sugar, but large per
centage of water and not sufficient
nitrogen for a tissue builder; neither
do they take the place of meat.
Never soak mushrooms in water, as
it destroys the fine flavor, but dip them
gill side down. one at a time, in ba-
sin Of water, rubbing the caps with the
thumb or a damp cloth; or let water
run lightly over them, holding one in
each hand. Drain. All mushrooms are
best cooked without being peeled.
The stems and caps may be cooked
together, or the stems separately for
soups and sauces. Truffies belong to
the same family as mushrooms and
from their manner of cultivation are
exceptionally fine in favor and useful
in fancy garnishing.
