Revenue Officer Took Long Chance
 in Flu Epidemic

Menominee, Mich. April 17.-A small new story on inventions has brought $1,5OO,000 to Marshall Burns Lloyd, an inventor.
 Several months ago MT. Lloyd in- vented a new method for producing baby carriages, woven furniture and baskets. It was the on1y change in the method of weaving wickers since Jcchebed, mother of Moses, wove a basket in which Pharoah's daughter found him on the River Nile. Soon after MT. Lloyd invented loom which weaves wickers into any shape and does so 30 times faster and bet ter than the fastest hand weavers.
 The stories of these inventions was printed in patent journals and cop jed by trade paper in Milwaukee known as Packages" A New York representative of Lusty and Sons. London, Eng, manufacturers, read the story, investigated and reported to his clients. They came here last week and left MT. Lloyd $1,- 500,000 richer. This huge sum en- titles them to extensive British En- pire rights. Permits have been sold by the inventor in Canada, New Zea- land and Australia.
 Mir. Lloyd began life as fish ped dler in Meaford, Canada, although born in St. Paul, Minn. He was a hotel waiter. street hawker of soaps and cheap jewelry, mail carrier by dog train and small manufacturer. During his idle moments he tinker ed away at inventions but never had money enough with which to produce big things until he sold wire weav- ing devise for bed springs door and table mats. This was followed by a new method and machinery for making steel tubing. He was dis missed as an "insane inventor" when he tried to sell his patents to the steel corporation. Later indepen- dent firms which have since been absorbed by the steel corporation paid MT. Lloyd enough money for American rights so that he could de- velop his wicker weaving ideas.

Democratic candidate for Overman's 5 seat in the Senate, is so definitely committed to suffrage that moder- ate championship of the cause could not hurt him in the race with Brooks. and it might do good
 The old-line Democrats who are holding out against suffrage appar- ently can't comprehend how rapidly the suffrage idea is taking hold in North Carolina. and still profess to think that 95 per cent. of the women are opposed to it
 The letters sent to Washington asking the North Carolina delegation to speak to the General Assembly, have been variously answered. They have been variously ignored, too, Congressmen Stedman, Weaver, God win and Hoey. all suffragists, have answered, quickly and in favor of ratification The other members of the delegation, Overman excepted, have sawed wood.

SUFFRAGE TO COME UP BEFORE NORTH
 CAROLINA IN JULY
Amendment Will Have Chance If Louisiana
 Fails

Wilmington, N. C., April 17.--Fol- lowing the failure of the Delaware Legislature to ratify the Susan B. Anthony amendment legalizing wom- en suffrage, advocates of the ballot for women are turning their atten- tion to Louisiana, the Legislature of which State meets on May 10 the first State after Delaware to have a chance of ratification.
 If by any chance Louisiana should fail to ratify, women will still have a fighting chance to vote in the pres idential elections this fall through the action of the North Carolina Legislature, which meets in special session in July, at which time Gov. T. w. Pickett will recommend the adoption of the suffrage amendment over the opposition of Senator Over- man.
 It is believed that the women will have at least an equal chance of winning out in the North Carolina Assembly, in spite of the fact that the last session of the Legislature turned down the proposal, provided the national organization for suf- frage does not butt in on the spe- cial session with too much advice.
 It is generally believed that with the indorsement of Gov. Bickett and other powerful Democrats, the reso- lution has a good chanse in the Tar Heel State.
 Female suffragists," as the dying old guarders call them, are about to get jubilant over the second "conver- sion" of Senator Overman to the cause of suffrage. It is all due to a letter written by Overman, in which he says he will again think the suf- frage question over.
 The junior Senator apparently be- lieves it would not be a thing un- thinkable for the Carolina Legisla- ture to ratify the amendment. In doing this Overman is not receding from his original position of hostility to the amendment itself. He does not think North Carolina suffrage should come nationally and he is against submitting the Anthony amendment.
 Senator Overman is therefore in fine position to dance the celebrated "Simmons tango" introduced in Washington six years ago, and de- scribed by a Senator as lone step forward. a step backward and side step" Nothing in his letter prevents his taking such a role. He took the step forward some weeks ago when he saw Git. coming" He took back ward step when he ran away from it rather than rush to meet it. He is now therefore in a strategic position to make the SideStep
 Speculation as to Overman
 Nevertheless the women of the States do not think he will do so. The men are rather disposed to think the junior Senator will take suf- frage stand. The Republicans have outspoken suffragists on every ticket ever offered Aubdey l.. Brooks, a

 per mills, lumber. mills and all other
 wood working manufacturing plants
 of the nation will suffer on May 4 when many thousand timber workers of all kinds throughout the upper peninsula of Michigan go on strike for eight hours work and ten hours pay. This is the greatest timber pro ducing section in the United States, so that when the strike breaks the paper shortage, as well as all other products depending upon wood, will be greatly augmented Employers as- sert that they will close down per rather than meet the de- mands.

IvidihS Tor the importation of seeds
and plants from abroad for expert

spcnding millions Of dollars annual

taxpayers you and l" have paid all
the Immense sums which have been
spent in all these years by this n
department, whose demands are con-
S antly increasing. AS a matter of
fact vs. have lone nothing of the
sort The department has spent a
slot of money Probably 1t has wasted
"a good deal. There is waste, and
needless waste, in every department
of the government. But If we should
place Of one side of the account all
thatithe department has cost, includ-
ing The waste which ought to be pre-
vented, and on the other the benefits
which we have received from it's

ito the credit Of the department. I
Through the instrumentality OF
this agency We have been able to in
crease u production and to vary
our products in ways innumerable.
Investigations have pee conducted
along every line Of agricultural work,
diseases of plants and animals have
been studied and means of prevention
or care have been developed. There
is no room for doubt that the depart
n,ent pays for itself many times over
each year. 1t costs more than it did
at the beginning, but it is worth very
much more, and in this it resembles
most Of our government departments.

PARTY GOVERNMENT.

For some a which we have
never seen adequately explaied polit-
ical parry lines appear to be more
rgidly drawn in the United States
than in most other countries. When
ever any measure Of popular govern
gment prevails-which is about every
where-the population tends to orr,
ganize into more or less compact
grodpss each ephasizing some par
ticplar phase of national policy. In
the EuropeanS countries, with which
ost Of our comparison must be made,
we find, unusually, not two. but sew
eral parties, and very often no party
can master anywhere near a majority
of the voting strength. Administra-
lions are supported by the temporary
union of two or parties, and the
support of n or other Of these may
be withdrawn at any time, with the
result that a new combination must
be formed. Among the European.
countries Great Britain comes the
nearest to following the two-party
plan. Cavalier and Roundhead, Wing
and Tory, Liberal and Conservative,
are all familiar names in English his
tory, n the mention of one i'm
ediately suggests it's opposite. Yet
even in Britain, especially in recent
years, there have been other impor-
tant groups, and administrations have
on several occasions been obliged to
depend on the support Of Irish Ma
~tionalists. Socialists, or one. of the
several labor groups.
In the United States we have thus
FAR placed affairs in the hands of
one or other of the great parties, and
the coalition system has yet to be
undertaken onsany large scale in this
country.
One element which undoubtedly
contributes to this end is that the ex-
ecutive department of our govern
ment derives it's authority direct from
the people, and\ not from the par
ltamentary body. as is generally the
case abroad. A presidential cam
paign centers on the election Of one
man, and while this does not neces-
sarily prevent the division of the
electorate into several parties. it
does undoubtedly tend TO discourage
It. With the parliamentary system
in full operation we should probably
find u minor parties playing a more
important part. y.
