WATCHING THE PRIMARIES.

For the purpose of finding out the sen- timent of the different sections of the country in respect to the candidate fa- vored for nominee as president at the re- publican convention at Chicago, interest is bound to surround the primaries in a number of the important states this week
 It was with the same thing in view that last weeks primaries were looked forward to with keen interest since it was expected that there would be inpor. tant revelations and possibly com manding lead taken by some one of the candidates which would be of such sig. nificance as to make it impossible for the convention not to be guided thereby Such failed, however and the greatest insight into the coming convention as shown by this weeks expression may be that which is anticipated rather thar that which is actually revealed.
 In Maryland the contest is between Wood and Johnson with the possibility that 1t may be a repetition of the New Jersey result If by any change f should go to Johnson 1t would serve tt materially increase his prestige
 Particular interest is bound to be cen tered in the result in Indiana and Cali fornia- In the former state the quartett, sazunnsed of Wood. Johnson- LoVdeI

 1S42-Nov. 4, married Mary Todd.
 One day while he was storekeeper in New Salem, Lincoln's long arm fished out of a barrel of odds and ends copy of Blackstone's Commentaries. Over it's fascinating pages he bored day after day as he lay on the ground outside his now neglected store, with his feet resting high against the trunk of a shade tree. The volume finished he began to borrow other works on law from a lawyer in Springfield, and people remembered in all after years the picture of the tall barefoot student intently reading as he walked the ten miles of dusty road.
 Before he became a lawyer, Lincoln's neighbors elected him to the legislative which was like university for this un- schooled man. who never had lived in a town or associated with educated people Nevertheless he straightway became a leader of the whigs and finally their can. didate for speaker.
 After Lincoln had become a rising young lawyer in Springfield, and while Mary Todd, daughter of notable Ken. lucky family, was visiting the prairie woman accepted the shy railsplitter 1T capital, that pretty, high-spirited little l preference to even such graceful cour tier as Stephen A.

TWO NEEDED MEASURES.

Along with some of the other legis- lation which it is hoped to get out of the way during this session of congress, there are two matters which should not be overlooked in the efforts to dispose of business before the date settled upon for adjournment. These matters are the provision of federal budget system and legislation which will properly protect the American dye business. Both of these have been under consideration for a long time. It is generally recognized that there is need for such measures and certainly congress will be remiss in it's duty if it does not provide them.
 There is a difference of opinion as to just what form the protection for the dyenakers in this country should take, but such a division ought not to be all lowed to prevent the safeguarding of this industry or be allowed to act in the way of encouragement to the former Eu- ropean competi ion which made it impos- Rible for the business to be carried on in thls country Great investments have been made by American capital to estab- fish in this country dye and chemical plants which will make us independent pA Ntlitl NDullti lGS. It ls IOund that we are able 10 meet the requirements of the trade and have laid the foundation Tor extensive developments provided this Industry is not subjected to foreign competition which could if permitted drive it out of business. We need this industry and we need to encourage it until it has bocore experienced and sea. soned And with a recognized need of giving it this protection there ought tt be little trouble in reaching a decision on what form it should take.
 Many are the instances which have disclosed the need of budget system ir he conduct of the nations business. Elf iciency is called for blythe governmen md yet in the administration of it's own affairs, in the raising and spending O money it is anything but businesslike States, cities and towns are on a nucl better basis and the time was neve more appropriate for making this chang and establishing a budget system.

FUTURE NEWsPRINT.

 Whether Mir.

 Instead of plunging ahead into an in creased and needless use of print nane, and there can be no question but wha much of it Is absolutely wasted, ther must be rigid conservation and at th same time a large amount of work need To be done in reforestation. Those area which have been denuded of trees i making newsprint should be recovere with the trees that are the most desira bic for such requirements. Trees do nc grow over night It requires from 20 t 20 years to get them in the best cor dition for the desired use so that what ever is done in the way of developin new pulp wood areas would not becor productive for some years There shoul and must be early attention given to tn phase of the matter since 1t is to a ce, tain degree because of the procrastin; tion in this undertaking that the new print situation is what it is today.

NEED MORE SHEEP.

Is there any wonder that the people of the state of New Hampshire are mani festing greater interest in the marketing of lambs, sheep and wool? They are concerned with the problem of disposing of this product of the farm when there is a far greater demand than the supply and interest is being shown in the propo- sition of pooling the clips for marketing.
 It is probable that there. is need for this very action but there also seems to be need for greatly increasing the num- Der of sheep in the state, characteris- tic which prevails throughout New Eng land. New Hampshire has been tending in the same direction as other states and in the past 30 years has dropped from more than 1000 sheep to less than 21,- 900 sheep when it would be greatly to its advantage had it been engaged in doubl ing it's sheep in that period
 When it is advocated that there should be some sheep on every farm it is un occasionally move in the right direc ton. Sheep require the proper amour of care but not for a great amount O. time. There are extensive areas in tn, New England states where sheep grow ing would take the place of what nov amounts to little or nothing. Attention | is now and then called to the fact tha this part of the country is not doin, what it should toward the providing o 1 it's own needs. Such a charge is opel
 to no other plea than guilty and whil
 that is not the only direction in whicl l New Englanders are falling down in tn | utilization of their areas it is perfectl
 evident that it contributes to consider | nble degree thereto.
 Nevertheless interest such as bring 1 the raisers of sheep of a state to a gen
 eral meeting gives indication of a deter
 imitation to tackle the recognized prot lem in manner that will change tn situation. There is unquestionably great demand for more wool and it car
 not fail to be realized that the way 1 meet it and get the benefit of the bus
 ness is to raise more sheep.

The democrats have twice rejected peace by refusing to rati- fly the treaty and it would be extremely impolitic to refuse third time by re- jecting the Knox resolution" It is ex- pected Senators Shields, Reed and other democratic senators will also support the peace resolution. Senator Underwood, the newly elected democratic floor leader was an advocate of accepting the Lodge reservations as the best that could be done under the circumstances, but whether he will advocate the acceptance of the Knox resolution is considered very doubtful.

Those who knew him best saw only a whimsical, simple, helpful friend and neighbor who millked his COWS, bedded his horse, car ried his boys pick-back in the streets. went to market with his basket on his arm or sat on box at the foot of his office steps, telling stories to a group of street loiterers.

THE BONUS OBSTACLES.

In connection with the. soldier bonus legislation congress seems to be up against much the same proposition that many a householder is who has tried to indulge in the habit of spending all that he gets and a little more only to wake up some day to the fact that his financial condition is such that he cannot get enough money to buy some of the things he would buy if he were flush.
 There is of course opposition in con- gress, just as there is among the soldiers to the bonus idea Presented as it has been at this time there are in all preba- bility enough who would vote for the plan to pass it but they are up hard and fast against the troublesome task ot finding or providing the money to pay the soldiers, for it would do no good tt vote the bonus if there was no method provided for getting the money.
 Conditions are such that the idea of { bond issue is generally regarded as un wise. The thought of making thos, who have secured huge profits out of thu war pay this bonus through a retroactiv, war profits tax was good as far as i went It was the idea to make wealtl respond to the situation, but it is plainl. evident that such tax could never b collected with the funds distributed a they have been in that time. To hav
 made .nat a success the effort shoult Lave been undertaken about the time ou boys were being called into the service The sales tax seems to have been ia vorably received but strong opposition t that has arisen, in congress and outside for it of course means the imposition c additional expense to everybody at
 time when they are demanding a reduc tion. The longer the bonus idea is cor sidered the more thoroughly is it bein understood what it means and why ther is so much opposition to it.

GOVERNORS TO HOLD C0NFAB
 IN WISCONSIN

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 9 (by As sociated PressD - State governors will consider housing problems and ways to promote ownership of homes in their 18th annual conference at Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 1 to 3. Other subjects coming before the govern ors this year, as announced here by Miles c. Riley, secretary of the conference, are:
 Decentralization of governmental functions and activities, in relation to the developing tendency toward centralization in the national gov ernment
 The Kansas industrial relations court.
 Sources of income and the dis bursements of state governments. The general agricultural situa- tion.
 "The coming conference promises to be one of the most largely at tended and important gatherings of governors of our states that has ever been held" according to Secretary Riley. Not only will most of the present governors be in attendance but a large number of new govern ors, elected on November 2.
 The conference will be held just prior to the converting of 1egisla- lures in most of the states, and will be of great interest to the governors who must submit their recommends tions to these bodies"

PLEASING PICTURES
 OF ALASKA REPEATED
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

We have had opportunity to see many so-called Alaskan Pictures, " some faked, others that were actual ly filmed in the north, but it is safe to say that no one who saw the Kleinschmidt Alaska pictures last night at the Empress went away disappointed.
 The are fascinating, as only vivid, vital life, wild and real, can be. There's no striving for effect, noth- ing faked, nothing unnatural. But imagine the infinite patience (not to mention steady nerve) required to shoot" bull moose and his family quietly feeding not fifty yards from the camera; and to induce a mon ster polar bear to "pose" ten feet away. Ther ea'e some wonderful scenes of mother bear and her cub swimming, playing and diving, at the ship's side, and an interesting game of "tag" between a man and a giant Steller lion. Five reels of solid en- tertainment, crowded with views of both native and wild animal life of the north, unique and of ab- sorbing interest.
 The pictures are repeated tonight for the last time, and to miss seeing them is to miss real treat and a novel glimpse of life in the raw. To- morrow night Frank Mcintyre in "Too Fat to Fight"

NEW RULES TO GOVERN
 IRISH WRIT SERVING

DUBLIN, Nov. 9 (by Associated Press )-Writ servers, never popular in Ireland, and who in times of eX' citement had often to eat their Wrfts, now have been so intimidated that they do not dare to even at tempt to serve their documents. In some cases where they took the risk they have been held up by armed men who took their writs from them.
 Most of the writs are issued by the Irish land commission claiming arrears of the annuities of the pur- chase money advanced by the gov ernment to tenants to enable them to buy their holdings.
 New rules have been drafted to meet the emergency and it has been provided that it shall not be neces- sary to serve a writ. It will be suf- ficient to mail it by registered let ter and advertise it in the local papers. The mere fact of mailing ~is enough, so that nothing will be gained by holding up the mail car rier
