they were common subjects yet

beginning of a sacred institution

honey was spread the quicker
it disappeared; but in this case it
had evidently been spread over
great lapse of time and was the
enduring kind. w. H, Feather

some hard times together and
sometimes stayed our stomachs
with the promise of a meal to
come, but we all learned to love
and revere the couple, Judge
Campbell recounted some things
of "Olden days" and told of a
time when Mr.. McDermott re-
fused to change quarter because
he did not have any change in the
money drawer and handed the
customer back his money. Rev.

contended that it WAS not
long when spent with coDgenial
people and that what might have
been anticipated as a long time
certainly seemed short to the
host and hostess of the evening.

happy vein told of the many
changes which the couple had seen

were given. He however said

LONG SOUGHT REFORM COMES


Representation in the next Re-
publican National Convention will be
based on the Republican vote in the
various congressional districts in
1908. The state conventions of the
requisite number of states have rati-
fed the change in representation sug-
gegted by the Republican National
Committee. Only one state conven-
ton has voted against the change,
that Of Texas. This accomplishes a
reform which has long been sought,
but which could not have been
achieved in another way with so
little friction. 1t was repeatedly
defeated for pardonable human
reasons. In 1908 it came nearest
success. The change of the vote of
the delegates from Kansas would
alone have brought it about, but the
leader who was the acknowledged
representative of President Roosevelt
used the great influence of the presi-
dent against the proposal, causing
its defeat.
After delegates were chosen, COM
mitted to the various candidates., it
was too much to expect the candi-
dates who would be adversely affect
ed to consent to the wiping out of
their known strength. They had a
right to question the disinterested-
ness of proponents of the reform
under such circumstances. This was
illustrated by the conventions of 1908
and 1912. The advocates of a
change In the basis of representation
in the latter convention had opposed
it in the former and some of the
most ardent advocates of the change
in the former convention stoutly
fought it in the latter. Nor could
the convention agree to change of
basis for the future without being
charged with selfishly refusing to do
what it admitted was fair. The
Republican State Convention of New
York, recognizing this natural con-
dition, suggested the calling of a
special national convention for the
purpose of making the change. At
the time we pointed out the political
danger in such a course, a danger
which the Republican National Com
mittee recognized. 1t adopted a
plan whose wisdom has been amply
justified by results.
In addition to the reduction in
representation, which affects the
states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Caroline, Ten
nessee, Texas, Virginia and New
York and Hawaii, Porto Rico and the
Philippine Islands, the rules as to
the temporary rolls have been so
altered as to practically eliminate
the contests which have consumed so
much of the time of the national COM
mittee and often resulted in bitter
feeling. There can be no contest at
all from states which have prescribed
by law the manner of electing dele
gates, certificates of election being
accepted as final proof. Contests in
such cases must be fought out in the
courts of the various states. These
changes will relieve the national
committee of much responsibility and
will permit the delegates themselves
to concentrate their attention on the
chief issues of the convention.-Glo
