THE DENATURElD CONVENTION.
ESioux City Tribune.]
New Jersey Is about 10 have its f1rst
experience with the denatured con-
vention. Under the New Jersey pri-
mary plan each party holds state
convention a week after the primary.
Each convention consists of the can
didate for governor nominated at the
primary, the holdover senators and all
the legislative candidates nominated at
the primary. These conventions will
be made up of seventy-two members
each. Their sole duty will be to draft
a platform to stand as the expression
OF the party in the state Campaign.
II is safe to say New Jersey will not
like the new style Of convention. Out
west. where the primary idea has been
at work longer and where the same
kind of convention is familiar even the
most enthusiastic primary advocate
has not failed to mourn the passing OF
the old style convention. The COM
paratively small group Of candidates
can get up platform all right. but can
do practically nothing for the promo
lion OF party enthusiasm or the ce-
ment!ng of party solidarity. Nobody
pays much attention to the denatured
convention or to the platform that ii
offers. Whereas the old fashioned
convention, with its large gathering OF
minor party leaders. its keynote
speeches and debates. its fights and
compromises. never failed to make the
blood of good party man run faster.
even tho defeated as to candidates anc
platforms.
The primary has It's good features,
but in many ways 1t serves 10 discount
the effectiveness of party government
Not the least of these is found in the
passing OF the convention stimuIant.

For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
Billy Pig and Billy Goat Meet Again.
NE morning Billy Goat saw
Billy Pig going down the road
with a large basket on his arm.

~ NE morning Billy Goat saw
Billy Pig going down the road
with large basket on his arm.
He is going after the first
chestnuts," said Billy Goat, 'and think
it Is about time paid him up for all
the things ne has said and done to me
for while back. Now will have some
chestnuts and he shall gather them Tor
me-"
on ran Billy Goat to the barn, while
Billy Pig. all unconscious Of what was
to happen to him. trotted on to the
chestnut tree In the woods.
Billy Goat brought out Of the barn
the buffalo robe which you will remem-
Der he had used once before, and when
he reached the woods he covered him
self with 1t, being very careful that his
horns did not show.
Billy Pig had his basket about half
filled with chestnuts when he suddenly
stopped and listened. WAS that q
growl?' he asked himself. Gould old
black wolf have found out that he had
been saying things about Billy Goat?
He listened. .'ies, that surely was
growl" And then he saw a head that
made him tremble. 1t was black wolf.
Billy Pig was too frightened to run, 90
he stood quite still and watched black
wolf coming slowly toward him.
"Woof. woof." growied Billy Goat un-
der his disguise. II understand you
have behaved in a dreadful manner to
Billy Goat lately. You have said things
that were not true about him and you
would not give him any Of your moth
er's preserves when he asked you for
some"
But, Mr.. WOLF" said Billy Pig in a
trembling voice. my mother told me to
see that no one touched those pre-
serves"
Yes, know she did" answered the
disguised Billy Goat. But you did not
hesitate TO eat all you wanted and then
hide the par in the garden. You are a
bad fellow. and I think 1t high time /
took you to my cave and made a meal
of you; you have treated Billy Goat un-
kind long enough. woof. woof.''
Billy Pig tried to run. but his legs re-
fused to go. for he was so frightened.
and then Billy Goats command to
Stop brought him to standstill.
I'll eat you at once IL you try to run
away" said Billy Goat in a gruff voice.
Tell me what you meant by telling
Piggie Brown that you gave Billy Goat
a whipping when you were chased by

the cows and your new red coat
spoiled?"
"Oh! I am awful sorry. I won't do it
again, Mr.. Wolf. Just try me once
more and will do anything Billy Goat
asks me to do; indeed I Will. Only try
me once more. good Mr.. WOLF
Billy Goat shook with laughter under
his fur covering. but Billy Pig thought
he was shaking with anger and he
trembled 20 he had to sit down.
There IL just one way can think OF
that will give you another chance" said
Billy Goat. You have some very fine
chestnuts there and know that Bill,
Goat would like some. but 1t Is hard for
him to pick them up. Now. II you fill
that basket and give them all to him
will give you another chance. He IL
down the road little way from here
He certainly IL a friend Of yours, for
he tried to get me to promise not to
harm you even after all you have done
TO him."
"Oh! I will give him the chestnuts
Mr.. wolf." said Billy Pig. Jumping up
and gathering the nuts as fast as he
could. II will give him this basket as
any more wrong stories about him.
either always did like Billy Goat,
but he sometimes does not seem to like
me-
That is way he has" said Billy
Goat. You do as he asks you and give
him all the nice things to eat you can
find and / will promise you he will be
very fond Of you. Fill that basket to
the very top" he said as he turned
away.
Billy Pig worked fast and soon the
basket was filled then he took 1t on
his arm and started down the road
There was Billy Goat just as black
wolf had said.
II am glad you are safe" he said as
Billy Pig came UP to him.
II saw old black wolf 60 past here
little while ago and he asked me
where you were. Did you see him?"
"Yes. he chatted with me a while" !"
said Billy Pig. He said he was busy
this morning and was in a hurry. I
have brought you some chestnuts :
would you like me to carry them home
for your"
"Oh. you are really too kind" said
Billy Goat, looking at the nuts with
longing eyes.
Il shall be very glad to have the nuts,
but will not bother you to carry them
for me. How did you happen to think
Of me?" he asked with a smile.
oh. knew you liked them and that
IL was hard work for you to pick them
up." said Billy Pig. so I got this bas-
ket full for you. Is there anything
else you would like?"
..Not this morning, thank you" re-
piled Billy Goat. but some time when
you see a nice large head OF cabbage
in YOUR garden you might save it for
me-"
..Of course 1 WILL said Billy Pig.
You may depend upon me to look out
for you. When Billy Pig reached home
his mother asked him IL he did not find
anv chestnuts.
II saw old black wolf going into the
woods" said Billy Pig, .and l thought
I would wait until another day. Ny.
but he is a ieree-looking fellow
II wonder he did not get Billy Goat"
said his mother. II saw him going into
the woods while You were gone. He
was carrying something that looked like
fur. I wonder what II was?'
was her" said Billy Pig. And then
he sat thinking for a while
Il wonder what Billy Goat was carry
ing that looked like fur?' he said. II
wonder what it could have been?"

PASSES SECOND READING.

The home rule bill for Ireland
passed it's second reading Tuesday
night in the House of Commons, the
vote being S6S to 27O, the announce
ment being received with Liberal
and Nationalist cheering. Though
short the debate was fiery, the oppo-
sition and Orange leaders predicting
that the granting of home rule
would cause war. Hon. John
Redmond, Premier Asquith and
other supporters of the bill asserted
that these predictions were ridic-
ulous and that twenty counties in
Ireland should not be subjected to
the domination of four. The bill
has now entered the suggestive stage
and will soon be sent TO the House
Of Lords, where its rejection seems
certain. It will then be returned to
the House of Commons and again
passed, thus making the bill a law
and securing to Ireland that freedom
for which she has so long and
valiantly struggled. The only dan
ger lies in the defeat of the present
Government before this time next
year, which would call for another
election and doing the work over
again. delaying home rule for per-
haps many years to come. Sir Ed
ward Carson, the Orange leader,
after the passage of the bill, said
the Irish Unionist members would
refuse to take part in any further
discussion because 1t was merely an
staged farce in which
their suggestions were certain to be
rejected. Those members, he said,
will tour the principal cities in Eng
land and Scotland, holding meetings
to protest against the bill. They will
be followed. however, by the English
and Irish members and Government
leaders, who feel confident that the
people will give them their endorse
nent
