ARTHUR FOR SUPREME BENCH.

Judge Thomas Arthur is one of the
candidates for the supreme court
who should be nominated. His long
experience az a practitioner and up
on the bench make him technically
qualified for the position. He has
also the essential qualification OF
character. His complete integrity
and fairness are unquestioned. He
should be nominated and elected.
Judge Arthur is good lawyer, q
just Judge and a serviceable man in
his community and state. He is OF
the kind needed on the supreme
bench.
Judge Withdrew is another candi-
date who should be nominated and
elected again to the supreme bench:
His record as a member of that body
Is excellent It is in the interests
Of q fair and capable supreme court

A PLOT AGAINST THE PRIMARY,

Republicans who desire to keep
republican primaries republican must
vote in the primary. 1t has been
ms.de evident that wholesale sys-
tenn Of debauchery Of the primary
has been planned. The Davenport
Democrat which says it knows what
happens in Davenport under the
working Of such scheme explains
the purpose and intention of the con-
spiracy:
Candidate Brookhart is making an
aggressive campaign covering q large
pslrt Of the state. He is appealing to
every element of discomfort, not only
In the republican party, but in all
parties. The Brookhart appeal has
been to the labor. element in the CIT
les. to which he has advocated the
Plumb plan and before which he has
waved the Cummins railroad bills
anti strike provision. In the country
he has appealed to every element OF
dissatisfaction. Wherever he has
had an attentive hearing there will be
an immense expansion of the vote at
the republican primary by men who
may or may not previously have af-
filfated with the party. but who are
expected to help knock Cummins and
to put Brookhart in his place on the
republican ticket as q protest against
industrial legislation. II the enemies
Of Senator Cummins have their own
way, the doors of the republican pri-
mary win be thrown open to every
one with a crouch and he will be
urged to 90 in and down the sena-
tor. We know what happens, here
in Davenport, in response to that
kind Of an invitation, and if Senator
Cummins' friends are wise, they will
not 80 to sleep and allow Brookhart
to walk away with the nomination.
Republicans should own their own
primaries. They can do so by vot-
Ing at their primaries and by guard
Ing the primary polls so far as pos
sible against such trickery as that
planned and proposed and to which
the enemies Of the senator are being
coached.
The sure and safe plan of defense
against a scheme so politically inn
moral and Indecent is to vote. A
strong republican primary vote will
break the snakes back. A small

Der Of instances Of the strong attach
ment OF birds to human beings. One
OF amusing sort relates TO a jackdaw
found unable to fly by a Wiltshire
10y. and carried home. It was kept
for few days. till 1t had recovered
rom its weakness, but 1t did not &c
away; and the reason was that 1t had
f7rmed strong affection for--not it's
rescuer-but' another smaller boy
who lived next door, The birds pas
sion was quite evident: It hung
around the cottage where the boy
lived, and like Mary's lamb accom-
panied him to school, "The pro,
ceedings were always too long for hill
patience. and from time to time he
would emit loud cav of remon-
strance."
An even more remarkable case wa.
that Of teal. An Anglo Argentine
residing at Buenos Aires, wounded
the bird one day, and then, touched
by its graceful shape. bright eyes
and beating heart. took 1t home and
bandaged it's broken wings. When il
had recovered 1t made no attempt to
escape. but evinced its devotion in
striking ways. The teal would see

Answers to Ysstsrday's Questions.
1. Do looms carry their eggs under
their wingsf
have read that the Scotch fisher
men will tell you that the loon car
ries its eggs under its wing till it
matches. One would say they are in
a position to know; their occupa-
tions bring them often into the
haunts Of the loon; yet the notion is
entirely erroneous. The loon builds
q nest and incubates its eggs upon
the ground ~ surely as does the
goose or duck.
2. Do squirrels play tag?
Animals have no rules or systems.
and yet I have often seen two red
squirrels engaged In what seemed
precisely analogous to the boys
game Of tag. Up and down from
tree to tree they would 60. until one
| OF them overlook the other, when it
seemed to become its turn to nee and
DO pursued. But Just how much
method there IL in such q game. It
II impossible to determine.
.. How do bees spend the winter?
Tho queen bumblebee and the
queen hornet. think. seek out their
winter quarters in holes in the
ground in September, while the
drones and workers perish. The
honey-bees do not hibernate; they
must have food all winter; but our
native Wild bees are dormant dur
Ing the GOLD months. and survive the
winter only in the person Of the
queen mother. In the spring these
queens set up housekeeping alone,
and found new families.
