PARTY VERSUS PEOPLE.

There is too much party and too
Ilttie people in our American scheme
OF government. Party rules and the
people are ruled, whereas the people
themselves should do the ruling.
Two distinct classes of people
compose the voting population, those
VINO vote blindly with their party and
those who prefer the man OF integri-
y and ability. The latter are gen
orally referred to as Independent vo-
ters.
The blind partisan gives but little
heed to the real qualities of the man
in the selection of a candidate. The
one requisite in his eyes is the abili-
" TO corral votes.
When our primary laws were en-
acted they were designed, or at least
SO 1t was said, to give the people an
opportunity to express ;neir indiyid-
uaI preferences in the selection OF
candidates for public office.
But the law does nothing OF the
KIND. Under its provisions the poll
ucHus are still in the saddle and
driving the people to the polls al
most as relentlessly as IN the palmy
day or old.
|'u' few men dare to aspire to Of
ic' without the q, X. of the politi-
CA leaders, and men who secure the
endorsement of those leaders are but
too often subservient to the will of
thu.n leaders.
Political states are made up be-
hind rlosed doors and in secret con-
icr"nr"s. and the voice of the people
Is neither desired nor invited. II is.
ignored II it is given.
The result is that when primary
day comes around the people. who
fondly prate of their sovereign
rights, go blindly and obediently to
thu polls and vote their choice be-
tvD"u certain candidates selected for
them by the political bosses.
That in nutshell, is the plain
reason Why our high offices are filled
from year TO year with politicians in
stead Of statesmen
w" repeat, there is entirely too
much party and too little people in
our misnamed republican form OF
government, or democratic form OF
government, whichever you prefer to
term H.
Tn" professional politicians are
firmly seated in the saddles of both
political parties and there they viii
stay and rule with ruthless hand
unril the people themselves muster
M sufficient courage to throw them
out
Unt will that day ever come?

Mrs. Huohes a. = camDaioner.

Charles Evans Hughes was happy
man the day after the Maine election.
There were two reasons for his happi-
ness. the decision in Maine and de-
cision nearer home Mrs. Hughes de-
cided to accompany her distinguished
husband on the second campaign trip
which will continue with only two
days interruption until election day.
Mrs. Hughes has not missed a single
meeting since the campaign began. she
has not failed to stand by her hua-
band on the car platform at every
station where his train stopped ana
sit near him as he spoke in the many
halls and auditoriums along the way.
MIR. Hughes insists that whatever sue
cess he may have attained on the trip
is due in large NEE IRE TO the fact
that Mrs. Hughes is with him. helping
him make friends by her winning man.
ner and at all times giving him the
benefit of her good counsel and cheer
full company. In addition TO talking
over his speeches with him. Mrs.
Hughes makes many. suggestions about
his correspondence md writes a daily
letter to her children, from whom she
has never been separated so long be-
fore. When Mr.. Hughes started on his
first swing around the circle Mrs.
Hughes did not intend to appear on
the platform. but much preferred to
sit in the audience, as she is almost
timid in her manner and the very an
tithesis of aggressiveness. But the
people insisted upon seeing her, so
after her husband had been interrupt
ed at several places by calls for Mrs.
Hughes, she reconciled herself to cir
cumstances and now she bravely
faces the music" at every meeting.
Mrs. Hughes Is far from being a poll
tician," but she is one of the best
helpmates a man ever had. "She's a
winner" is the way the correspondent
of metropolitan Democratic paper
who is accompanying Mr.. hughes de-
scribes her. land l couldn't De sorry
to see her the first lady of the land, in

AS TO CHILD LABOR BILL.
Some Facts of the Legislation With
Which the Voters May Not Be
Properly Informed.

The child labor bill, which forbids
interstate traffic in goods turned out
by factories or mines employing chill
dren under fourteen years of age or
working persons between fourteen
and sixteen more than eight hours q
day, is fine piece of humanitarian
legislation. By making it a federal
law congress, thanks to the insistence
of President Wilson, has done some.
thing most of the intelligent people
of the United States have desired for
the last 20 years.-Collier's Weekly.
But why not tell the whole story
and say that the child labor bill is in
its origin a Republican measure which
would never have been enacted except
with Republican support and that its
most determined opposition came from
Democratic senators representing
states of the solid South. which form
the backbone of the Democratic party?
Why not tell, also, that the need
of such law is not because of condi-
tons in Republican states, all Of
which already have laws regulating
the labor of children, but because of
conditions in a few Democratic-ridden
Southern states which have-tirne
and again-defeated every effort to
curtaii the employment of children in
their factories.
Why not tell, too. that Joker" has
already been discovered in the bill
which may leave the door open for
evasion of its restrictions in the Dem
ocratic states where child labor is
lawful and still tolerated. If not en-
eouraged?
Finally. why not ask why President
Wilson remained deaf TO the demand
for this fine piece of humanitarian
legislation for neariy three years and
half of his administration and be-
came active for 1t Only on the eve of
his campaign for reelection in which
he wanted to throw out this hook for
votes to make Republican progressives
believe he was with them for progress
sive measures all the time?-0maha

POINTS ON KITCHEN ECONOMY
Little Suggestion That Will Be Found
of Value in Every
Home.

Wash a potato. wipe dry and put iii
in your breadpan. 1t will keep the
bread fresh for days.
If eggs you are about to boil are
cracked. add little vinegar to the
water, and they can be boiled as sat
isfaetorily as unchanged ones.
Take great care of the milk; unless
you have a very cool place to keep
1t, boil it as soon as it arrives. Keep
II covered with a clean muslin cloth.
Tomatoes should always be skinned
before being using for salad. To do
this easily, place the fruit in basin
and pour boiling water over it. Let
stand a minute, and then drain. You
viii find that the skin can then be
removed without the slightest trouble.
Remember beef loses only three
ounces TO the pound in baking, four
ounces in boiling, and five ounces in
roasting. Thus roasted meat should
be avoided when butchers prices are
high.
Ii the boiler Immediately after use,
and while still warm, is rubbed all
over with any good household soap
it will prevent rust, and will help to
make the suds when the boiler Is
filled for the next washing day.
Iv clean a black dress take a dozen
ivy leaves and steep them in boiling
water. Leave till cold, then rub well
over the stained parts. This liquid
will remove all stains and make the
cloth look almost as fresh as when
new.
Don't throw bones that have been
boiled for soup into the dustbin. Put
them at the back OF the fire, bank up
with well-dumped small coal and they
will burn for hours.
Mincing machines are not easy TO
take to pieces for the purpose Of
cleaning, as there is much difficulty
in properly replacing the parts. The
best plan, and one which leaves the
machine quite dry, is to take piece
of very stale bread, or, If this is not
obtainable. piece of toast, and grind
it through. This will be found to col
lect all the grease, fat and skin which
adheres to the knives. Repeat until
the crumbs come out quite clean and
dry, and then carefully wipe the ma
chine with clean, dry cloth.

enough of them to make it worth while
TO be dairy farmer. The overhead
expense is nearly the same for three or
four cows as for a dozen. He must
have the stable room, the cream sepa-
rator and other equipment and he
raises the feed. Milking time comes
twice day even if he keeps but one
lone COW. If he patronizes the cream
cry his milk or cream must go just so
often and his cost is less per COW when
he has q good sized herd.
I'VE have often thought what grand
thing it would be for this region if fifty
or a hundred practical and experienced
dairymen from the best dairy districts
of Wisconsin, Iowa and southern Min.
nesota would settle here and bring
their herds and helpers with them.
They would find here a vast region
splendidly adapted to that business
and their presence and efforts would
awaken our own people ana give them
a great start along the same lines. In
no other section that we have ever
seen are there so many natural advan-
tages for profitable dairying. All that
is needed is the men Of experience and
enough cows of the right kind 60 make
the business profitable

Four blocks of wood don't cost much

Four blocks of wood don't cost much
do they?
Housewives will find that blocks I'M
der the legs of a kitchen workable
which is too low will help great deal
as a tonic for backache.
Experts in kitchen efficiency state
that one of the most noticeable defects
In farm kitchens is the height of the
workable. which is usually too low
for the housewife to keep her body in
an erect, healthy and comfortable po-
sition when using 1t.
For the average table, these "medi-
cine" blocks should be about four
inches long and four inches wide. so
that there viii aot be much danger OF
the legs slipping off. Bricks may be
substituted for blocks If satisfactory
results are obtained from their use and
if they are more convenient.
The thickness of the blocks should
be regulated according to the height of
the person making the most use of the
table. The average table, experienced
housekeepers say. should be on level
with the hips of the person using it.
