No Hope for the Future.

Not even the dreamers among the
Progressives can hope to capture the
house In 1914. Recent elections have
shown the party is crumbling. It
might be possible to elect few Pro-
gressives, but It is doubtful whether
the present number OF members OF
that party in the house will be aug
augmented. Neither Perkins nor
Finn would have anything to gain In
such fight. and It can hardly be ex.
pected that they are going to make
further inroads into their fortunes
Just for the fun Of the thing.

HAS ALMOST LOST MEANING
Suffrage Leader Decr!es the Too Fro
quent Use OF the Word
Domestic.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait ridiculed
in Chicago the old anti-suffrage cry
of domesticity-that woman's place k
the home.
THE trouble is" said Mrs. Gait
that many women cannot be domes
tic: they have no homes. The word
domestic, therefore. should not be
used. as Is too often the case, In o
loose way.
The suffrage leader smiled
YES" she continued, "some people
give this word as elastic a meaning as
the witness gave 1t In Georgia court
Asked why he was not present to tes

he had had domestic trouble just
about that time.
"'What was the domestic trouble

Republican prosresslvcs Fading Away

Last year Mr. Roosevelt received
$4,000 votes In New Jersey. This
year the two contrasting candidates
for the Progressive gubernatorial
nomination received total OF less
than 5000 votes. 1t Is true that un.
der a court ruling which declared that
no participant In the Democratic or
Republican primaries last year could
this year vote the Progressive ticket.
thousands OF would-be Progressive
voters were disbarred, because last
year, before the third party was
formed, they voted as Republicans.
At the same time, this fact does not
wholly account for the disappearance
OF 1877 900 votes. In many precincts
in the city Of Trenton, for instance,
not one Progressive vote was cast
and more than one editorial expires.
sion in the New Jersey newspapers is
to the effect that the fight will be be-
tween Stokes and Fielder. 1t is also
asserted that the Progressive party
IS rapidly vanishing as political
factor in thecstate.

After noting that Colonel Roosevelt
neither caught that huge mountain

TAFTS Title CLEAR
Roosevelt the Man Of Trickery
at Chicago.
His Efforts, for His Own Interests, to
Gust Delegates Regularly Chosen,
Can Not Surely Have Been
Forgotten.

II IL not easy to follow tho ree
soning which interprets as a progress.
sive victory-that 10, victory for ths
so-called Progressive party-the no
ton OF the New York Republicans 10
declaring for q new basis Of repre-
sentation for national conventions.
The Progressives did not originate
the proposition. 1t has been In the
minds Of leading Republicans for
years. Thomas C. Plat. M. S. Quay
and Mark Hanna all favored 1t. They
saw, as others did, that. with nothing
to offer the presidential candidate on
election day, the south had far too
much to say in the choosing OF the
candidate. On that account, they
urged on more than one occasion the
reduction of southern representation
In Republican conventions; and men
who now call themselves Progressives
gave them no support whatever.
That the proposition has more
strength today than formerly Is due
almost wholly to the action OF the
Progressives last year In their efforts
to tamper with the south's power In
the Chicago convention in the inter.
ests OF Mr.. Roosevelt. The seats OF
delegates regularly chosen for Mr.
Taft we're contested upon the iimsiest
pretexts, and strong influences exert
ed to substitute Roosevelt men. 1t
was an industry. financed by the
Roosevelt organization.
But 1t failed. 1t was so "raw"-so
transparency repugnant to the code
of fair dealing--that leading Roose-
welt supporters on the national COM
mittee reyolted. They would not have
It; and. unable to secure the south
ern vote by fraud, Mr.. Roosevelt was
defeated for the Republican nomina-
ton.
Nor does the Progressive character
ization Of the southern states as
rotten boroughs" fit tho case. In
times past some southern delegates to
Republican national conventions sold
their votes for spot cash. But did no
delegates from other sections-wheth.
er we consider Republican or Demo
cratic conventions-eyer sell their
votes for promises OF office And.
In morals strictly considered, what is
the difference between the two trans
actions?
Rotten" as tie south may have
been at other times, she was not rot
ten" at Chicago last year, but. against
much rotten" temptation. stood firm
for the instructions that had been
given at the time her delegates were
regularly chosen. And this fact en-
tered into the assurance which Chair
man Root gave to Mr.. Taft In his
speech Of notification, that his title to
the nomination was as clean as that
of any candidate for the presidency
the Republican party had ever pre-
scented to the country.

els that great care should be taken to
see that they act regularly. The fact
Is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up the juices
that are necessary to prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty OF
exercise, but this latter Is irksome to
most elderly people. One thing is GER
tain, that a state Of constipation should
always be avoided, as 1t is dangerous
to life and health. The best plan is
to(take mild laxative as often as Is
deemed necessary. But with equal GER

purgatives. physics, salts and pills be

A much better plan and one that

like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. which

Is to strengthen the stomach and bowel

purity, immigration, intemperance,
peace, marriage and divorce, the
weekly rest day, and the relation of
public education to morality and re-
ligion, are to receive expert discussion
at the hands of those who have made
a special study of the same for years.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of bak-
ing powders on the market, viz
Cd Mineral-Acid or Alum, (2)
Bone-Acid or Phosphate, and (3)
Cream Of Tartar, derived from
grapes. 1t is important, from the
standpoint of health, to know some
thing about these ingredients, and
which kind is used in your baking
powder
N) Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is
made from a kind of clay This clay
is mixed with diluted oil of vitriol
and from this solution a product is
obtained which is alum. Alum is
cheap, costs about two cents a pound,
and baking powder made with this
Mineral-Acid sells from 10 TO 20
cents a pound.
(2) Bone-Acid or Phosphate, is
the basis of phosphate baking pow
ders and the process is fully describ-
ed in the patents issued to a large
manufacturer of a phosphate powder.
The United States patent office re-
ports give a full and exact descrip-
ton, but the following extract is
enough:
Burned bones, after being ground
are nut into freshly diluted oil Of
vitriol and with continual stirring
and in the following proportion. "
etc
From this Bone-Acid Phosphate
baking powders are made; such pow
ders sell from 90 to 80 cents a
pound. =.
C3) Cream of Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes. and flows with the juice
when the grapes are pressed The
tartar is subsequently gathered from
the cask. boiled with water, and re-
fined. when crystals of Cream OF
Tartar, white and very pure, separ-
ate and are procured. II differs in
no respect from the form in which
IT originally existed in the grape.
Cream Of Tartar, then while the
most expensive. is the only ingred-
lent that should be used in a baking
powder to act upon the soda, as its
whoie.omeness is beyond question.
Cream Of Tartar baking powders sell
at about 40 to 80 cents a pound.
Such are the facts and every one
careful of the health Of the family,
should remember this rule.-Baking
powders selling from 10 to p cents
a pound are made of nineral-Acids;
those selling from ~ to 30 cents OF
Bone-Acid. and those from 40 TO so
cents of Cream OF Tartar derived
from grapes.

CALIFORNIA PUSHING
ITS GOOD ROADS WORK.
Expect to Complete System, of Twenty.
seven Hundred Miles In 1915.

California has become a good road
builder-that is, she has taken up the
work as corporate commonwealth.
Two years ago the people of the state
voted an SlS,000,OOO bond issue for this
specific purpose The funds being
available. the actual work of construc-
ton has begun, The total mileage con
templated by this act amounts TO 2,7OG
miles, and II is expected that the work
will be finished in 1915.
The farmers and dalrymen are right
on the job, and they may not only
make these roads of good use in their
daily business, but at the same time
they and their families may avail
themselves of joy rides to their hearts
content, The construction Of this great
system Of public highways has already
begun, the work being in charge of the
California highway commission. a body
OF three members, appointed by the
governor of the state.
Generally speaking, the system will
include two great highways connecting
the northern and southern parts of the
state, one running down the coast line,
and another inland following the
course of the valleys of the Sacramento
and San Joaquin Branching Off from
these two trunk lines will be lateral
roads connecting county seats and 9th
er important centers OF population,
The specifications in general make
the following demands; Right OF way
not less than forty feet wide and as
direct between objective points as pos.
sible, grades not to exceed per cent

state, curves as open as possible and
