Of his covered wagon prevented bis

"Two witnesses testified that No

Pumice Stone.

Pumice Is an acid ~volvanic rock,
which may be in either massive or
finely comminuted form. 1t owes its Pc
culiar porous, vascular o. pumiceous
condition to the rapid expansion Of

den release Of pressure at the time of
its election from the volcano. This
expansion may be carried to such an
extent that the rock is completely
shattered, and the resultant finely
powdered material may be carried to
unknown distances by wind and air
currents and then deposited in beds

An Essay on Woman.

A woman is sometimes fugitive, ir'

contradictory. A good deal Of forbear'

deal of prudence exercised with re.

innumerable evils WITHOUT knowing it.

Wilson's First Decisive Defeat.

President Wilson encountered his first de-
cisye defeat when the house rejected his
Philippine program by vote on which thirty
democrats broke away from the caucus CON
troll and voted with the republicans not only to
reject the Hitchcock BILL but passed the Jones
bin as substitute Moreover, the house also
voted instructions to its conferees TO accept
no proposition fixing time at which the United
States is to withdraw from the Philippine ISL
ands. This action, taken on the anniversary Of
Admiral Dewey's brilliant victory In Manila
bay, is significant for several reasons
First Of all. II shows there is limit beyond
which even the president cannot drive his
party. The Hitchcock bill, with the Clarke
amendment, as It passed the senate, was dis
grace, and had II been enacted into law would
have been national shame. The advocacy OF
our retirement from the islands and leaving the
people there to their fate IL the one bit OF
Organism to which the senator has been de-
voted To abandon the Philippines at this time
ia not 10 establish the people there in self-gov-
erning Independence. but TO leave them helpless
for Japan, Germany, England, Russia or some
other colonizing power TO seize for the purpose
Of exploitation, and no one better understands
this than those who sponsored the Hitchcock
bill.
The Jones bin passed by the house, ex-
tends the privileges and responsibilities Of the
islanders, giving them a still greater measure OF
participation in their government but pre-
serves To them the protection Of the United
states, which is absolutely needed II tho ma
tiyes are ever going to be made self-goyerning
II Manuel Quezon Ia right In his assertion that
Japan does not intend TO seize the islands, the
likelihood Of having 10 defend them becomes re-
mote, and the principal argument for With
Grawal disappears.
The vote In the house can only be inter
preted as notice TO the president that he must
revise his program and secure readiustment
Of his relations with the congress II he Is go
ing to be successful IN his further plans.

PRIMARY Law pefects and RemedIes

Editor H. H. Pease OF The Beemer Times,
who has been nominated for the Legislature and
whom we would like TO see commissioned to
help make the laws calls attention to certain
defects Of our primary which he would rem
ody. THE primary works out very nicely In
theory no says, "but IL absolutely bum ia
practice" and he illustrates this by citing the
fact that in Beemer precinct there were only
twenty eight republican votes cast out OF nor
NAL OF eighty-flve because many republicans
asked for democratic ballots in order to make
sure OF a wet candidate for governor or to take
sides In a local county treasurer scrap
While opposing the open primary which we
once experimental with so disastrously, Brother
Pease thinks the remedy is to divide the party
tickets into three sections national. state and
county IL could then" he says, ASK for a re-
republican national ticket republican state
ticket and democratic county ticket or, II
was democrat. ! could ask for a democratic
national ticket. republican state ticket and
democratic county ticket. etc, and thus come
nearer my choice than could possibly come in
straight ticket clear through"
This plan, we fear. would only make bal
matter worse, for Il would be the old open pri-
stead OF for one office az time II seems hard to
make people see that primary election is a
strictly party plebiscite TO determine the nom
inees TO so on the party ticket and that one
has a right TO a voice In the party councils who
Ia not member OF that party The primary, II
should be remembered. is designed merely to en-
able the rank and file Of the party TO participate
in tho selection Of candidates by marking their
ballots In their respective voting districts instead
Of, aa formerly. attending IN person caucus OF
convention in which tho choice for each place
would be put by motion 70 yiva-voco vote. No one
would propose that one and the same convention
should nominate candidates for more than one
political party. or that the same convention or
