THE EARL OF DERBY.

One Of the most influential figures
in Great Britain during the war has
been the Earl of Derby, who will pass
his fifty-third milestone tomorrow.
Edward George Villiers Stanley, 18th
Earl of Derby was born on April 4,
1855. His titles dates from 1885,
when one Of his ancestors was created
an earl as a reward for his gallantry
in the battle of Bosworth. Lord
Derby's greatest service to Britain in
the war has been as recruiting chief
In February, 1916, he accepted the
craftsmanship of a joint naval and
military board to control the British
air service, but remained in charge
of recruiting. From the first the earl
was understood to favor CONSUMPTION,
but out Of loyalty to Kitchener he &C
cepted the post of recruiting chief
under the voluntary system, and no
man in England worked harder at
his desk.
Lord Derby was aide-de-camp to
his father, the 18th Earl of Derby,
when the latter, as Lord Stanley, was
Governor General of Canada from
1888 to 1898. His grandfather, the
18th Earl, was once offered the throne
of Greece, but declined it. Lord Der
by's ancestors in the male line long
reigned as sovereigns over the Isle
of Man. Few of the noble families
of Great Britain can boast of as MANY
illustrious men as the Stanleys, and
the present chieftain of the clan seems
to be living up to the family's reputa-
ton.

RESULTS IN WISCONSIN

HE WISCONSIN direct primary again has vndcated It's
usefulness as measure for the control and guidance
of nominations.
The benefits of direct primary of the Wisconsin type
in which all voters vote the day for the nomination of
candidates. with the privilege of each to make such nominal
tons please him, many
Such system of voting makes the primary election
aogous the election itself On election day the voter chooses
the candidate that suits him best On the primary day proceed
ing he chooses the nominees that suit him best
Certain thoughess people, especially those with strong
partisan bias object the direct primary with its free choice
because Republicans may vote for Democratic candidates. and
vice versa
But this not really an objection but rather good thing
Fhe real object of nominations to insure the voters the kind
Of the most of them want upon the theory that such
choice will bring good man.
is true that under the Wisconsin system all the thought
less voters combine to favor weak man, but it is equally
true that the thoughtful voters may combine for strong
The American theory declares that there thoughtful
than thoughtless voters.
We have upon test of the direct primary and of the
election in Wisconsin The primary produced loyal Repub
candidate and loyal democratic candidate.
The election is between the two loyal candidates. Mr.
root and Mr. Davies with close vote The country gets
loyal matter which is elected.
The Wisconsin plan of making nominations is compared
with the Connecticut method, a superior instrument
In Connecticut the party organizations make their nomina-
tons different days. and each is bound rgdy into limit
ed organization in which the free will Of the voters is
limited
The system of party registration nominations
by limiting the group that can participate The whole body
Of voters makes nominations in Wisconsin In Connecticut
nominations made by voters registered party lists who
are usually interested in politics in selfish way and who
therefore social group voting usually the standpoint
personal advantage.
The Connecticut system does not stop party trading but
promotes it. Hordes of voters pass from primary list
the other to accomplish special results and the lists
little guide to the real politics of the persons registered
The Connecticut system is further defective it's so called
bipartisan systems operated its cities by which the offices
filled by the party power equally from the membership
Of two leading parties.
In this way hordes of mercenares have been raised up
who deliver republican votes democrats votes
to republicans upon the promise of job These are toe
well known to require proof.
The Wisconsin primary system does promote nonparsan
ship in nominations But the people get the benefit
The Connecticut system promotes non-partisanship Tht
people do not get the benefit individual office holders gel
it strictly for themselves

PUTS HIS STAMP
OF APPROVAL ON
CHILDRN'S YEAR

Washington, April 3-President
Wilson gave hearty approval today
to the plan of the children's bureau
for making the second year Of the
war "chi4dren's year" at home by
an educational campaign which 1t is
hoped will reduce at least one-third
the annual total Of 100000 preventa-
BILE deaths among children less than
five years old.
Next to the duty Of doing every
thing for the soldiers at the front"
said President Wilson, there could
be, it seems to me, no moro patriotic
duty than that Of protecting the
children"
The president also expressed hope
that the work of the bureau, assisted
by the women's committee Of the
council of national defense, will set
UP 'tirreducible minimum standards"
for child welfare.
Nationwide interest has been
shown in the bureaus plans, requests
for more than 100000 record cards
having been received from parents
who want to have their children
participate in the weighing and
measuring tests which will open the
year on April 6.

OFFICIAL FLAG
FOR The Third
LIBERTY LOAN

There's an official Third liberty
Loan flag.
You are going to see it a good many
times in the next four weeks or more.
1t is the red of Old Glory with a
border of white and running across it
are three bars of national blue
It's a mighty attractive flag.
But it is more than that. 1t is a
badge of honor for it will be shown
only by people and by the institu-
tons who have entered their sub
scriptions to the Third loan.
1t is planned to reproduce this flag
on a certificate card to be given to
subscribers to the loan, too.
When man or woman enters a
subscription, this certificate will he
given and will carry the name Of the
subscriber.
1t is designed for display in the
window of the home like the Red
Cross badge Of honor or the Food
Administration card. It is going to
be worth even more than these-for
it will show that each home has not
only begun it's work to help win the
war but is keeping that work going
bravely ahead.
Just one thing Will carry higher
honor than the Liberty Loan flag or
the Liberty loan certificate; that one
thing is the service flag.
And it is safe to say that wherever
the service flag appears, there too will
be seen within week the flag of the
Third Liberty Loan.
When a Boy Scout walks into your
later, and invites you to put up a
Liberty Loan poster, don't ask him
why.
Simply say: Eyes, of course" and
get it right at work in window.
Every storekeeper in the city is to
have a chance to personally boost the
Third Liberty Loan by showing pos
tiers.
The Boy Scouts are going out into
every section with these posters. Ten
thousand posters! Think of it! What
a fine show they will make.
Not all alike but every one a vital
powerful appeal for every man and
woman to help make the Third loan
the biggest success of all.
Its no small job the Rloy Scouts
have on hand. They are to get these
10000 posters out by Saturday even
ing. But they will make good for
they always have.
You men who have stores are going
to help them wonderfully by being
really for them. That will speed UP
the work in fine style.
Beside these window posters, therell
be a lot of other things to make
everybody know the Liberty Loan
campaign has opened.
All those things are to speed to
headquarters here Thursday by spe-
ctal motor express from New York.
The only thing tothering the local
workers and the Boy Scouts is the
possibility of a slip at the New York
end and a delay in getting things
here. Every man and boy here is on
tiptoe ready to get busy.

DEMOCRATS IN
HARTFORD Win
CITY ELECTION

Hartford, April 9-Despite the fact
that he received 400 less votes than
in 1915, Richard J. Kinsella yester-
day defeated Mayor Frank A. Hag-
arty for the mayoralty. A very light
vote was polled. Mayor-elect Kin
sella's plurality was 452. Fire Com
missioner John A. Gleason, Demo-
cratic candidate for town clerk, ran
ahead of the ticket, and defeated
Henry F. Smith, the Republican can
didate for reelection, by moro than
1900 votes. The other candidates on
the Democratic ticket were carried
along in the victory, which resulted
in changes in various offices, the DEM
ocrats gaining practically all the
places in which the Republican can
didates were not endorsed, except the
minority representative places on
various boards.
Six Democrats and five Republicans
were elected to the court of common
council, This makes the membership
In that body evenly divided, each OF
the two major parties having ten rep
resentatives- 1t was close race III
some wards.
The voters defeated the appropria-
ton of $685. 900 for widening Morgan
street, and the appropriation Of $780,
900 for the. Buckley street plan. Tho
electors voted to make the mayor ex-
oflcio member of the water board,
fire board, charity board and street
board.

Doubtless II you are a sufferer from

magnesia-not the ordinary CONNER
cial carbonate, citrate. oxide or milk
but the pure bisurated magnesis
which you can obtain from practically
any druggist in either powdered or
tablet form
Take a teaspoonful Of the powder
or two compressed tablets with q lit
tie water after your next meal, and
see what a difference this makes. II
will instantly neutralize the danger
ous, harmful acid in the stomach
which now causes your food to fer
ment and sour, making gas, wind,
flatulence, heartburn and the bloat-

10 follow most everything you eat
You will fnd that provided you
take a little bisurated magnesia i'm
nnediately after a meal, you can eat
almost anything and enjoy II without
any danger of pain or discomfort to
FOLLOW and moreover, the continued
use of the bisurated magnesia cannot
