Colquitt, the demo- nominee shows by his itemized mtfim of campaign expenses that he paid /311,778 to obtain the nomi- nation.

The men wiao stand for Lake today, if he does not win will stand for Goodwin firm /and true is they are made of the right repub- lican material, and the same is true of the men who stand for '\Goodwin. The test now is the stremgth of fac-) tions for favorites upom the assump- tiem that Both candidates are able and would homor their party and the state. The epposition to Mr. Lake have among them some men who think that the circulation of silly false- hoeds is the way to win, and it is the misfortune of Mr. Geodwin, or any other candidate, to have such a class of men too active in their interests. It is an oid saying that “a He well stuck to is better than the truth wa- vering:” but a lle told, that the record- ed facts make clear in its falsity, is the output of incompetemcy for a weak ilr is never more than the twin brother of a fool. Mr. Lake is =oing to hodd a receptiom for the pur- pose of meeting the citizens of Nor- and it is to be hoped that they turn ouwt in large numbers to greet him, for he is an affable gentle-. man it oes one geod to meet. THE DAY OF SPEGIFIC DEMANDS It shouid not be thought that the actiylty of the State Business Men's asscefation or of organized labor in the field of politics represents all the forees-that have a peremptory’ demand 1o make upon the political candidates, for they are only just two of them. This is a fad in all states just now, and there are lined up te confroont] e man of political ambitions:— The party besses. W The spectal interests. The organized automobflists. commuters. local optionists. liguer dealers and manufac- The The union labor men. Apd from the Newark News we quote the manner in which theé poor caerdiddtes are confronted: “Leaders of party machines tell candfiates that ¥f they will not prom- ise to stand by the exact orders of the organization they must drop out the race. “Special interests say they must be assured that their destres will be car- ried out or they will refuse to con- tribute to the campaign fund. “Motor car*owners threaten that un- ase promises are made by legiskative dates to vote for a speclal ‘reci- preefty bill’ then the untagged seeker after office will be run down at the poits. ‘Organized commuters are drafting a public utilities measure of their own, and they are inferming candi- dates for the legislature that pledges te wmapport that bill must be forth- coming or the commuters wHl arise in thefr might and smite the recalei- trunts Wfp end thigh. “Local optionists make support of thelf Brand of a bill for the control of $he lgmor traffic a prerequisite of Suppoft of any candidate. “The liquor trade insists that ail dates must be pledged against xm. excise legislation and n favar of ‘Ilberal measures. “@rganized labor proclaims that no candidate who fails to pledge himself to vote the Kind of an employers’ liabllity BMi approved by the union leaders need expect support from the labortng men.” What does this show? Simply that the people have lost cenfidence in pub- servants because they believe they have come te represent special inter- ests instea® of the people, amd that the way to compel specific action 's by ergamized dictation. Is this the best ‘way o mecamplish honest and ef- fective legieiation? WIill net men who violate platforms violute any other pledge they make—is dishonesty to be overcome In this way? If men of abill principle and breadth were selected to represent the peopie wauld they not do homest werk? Is it possfte for a specialized automa- ton to give better ‘satistaction than the legislators we have been having? There is reem for hemest thought and seM-inquiry in the present political situation on the part of political man- awers as weill as en the part of the paeple.

There is no defence for such an investment. AN INQUIRY OF INTEREST. Clambakes Zalore! ‘Where the dickens do all the clams come from? —New Haven Palladium. There are reports of a good serv- iceable clam made out of reclaimed rubber this year. It s sald to be quite up to the church oyster =o pop- ular at fairs in the winter months. There need be no mystery about the frequency of the clam, netwithstand- ing the fact that the beds all along shore are giving out.—Bridgeport Standard. The clam doesn’t come from any- where. He i3 such a sluggard that he never gets out of his little bed to walk—he has to he dug out and be carried. 'He s not an invalid, but this is the clam’s way. When the beds are empty we shall not miss the clam for men tan make clam chowders and fritters, ete., just as they do make real mifnice pie without meat, real veal-luaf without veal, real lemon pie withglit lemon, and real egg-cake wifhout €ggs, and real strawberry ice cfeam without creani or strawberrie in view of this, that ‘the clambake can be sustained whether the clam beds are gziving out or not. But where do the clams come from? Well, Mr. Palladium, they do not come they are too scarce to be brought, so they are t invented Please do not ask who invents them, for in the culinary department no one can tell, any more than the employes of a canning factory that puts out a illion cans of turkey 4 year can tell where the wishbones have all for, in fact, they have never wishbone. Everything is not what seems to be in this bully old world of ours.

Jelly fish stings in- curred during paddling are much re- lieved by bathing the legs with warm water in which a lump of ordinary washing soda has been dissolved. Barley water is a cooling and at the same time nutritious beveraze for children. Wash two tablespoonfuls of pearl barley well and simmer gently in a pint and a half of water for two hours. Strain it, add the juice of a lemon and sweeten it very slightly. This should be made fresh every da: in hot weather, for it turns sour quic 1y.

At Bargain Time.” Hats whizh were offered at half the season’s price in the early days of the sales are selling for much less now. Piled up on the remnant counters are thousands of yards of silk and satins, cloths and summer fabrics, most of them arked, at half price. The contents of the lace boxes have been empotied out onto another counter and ribbons 'of varying lengths, but unvarying creapness, are to be picked up on the ribbon counter. Wonderful corset bargains are to be found for all odd sizes and styles. The lines that are not to be repeated, the slightly soiled corsets, ete.. have been thrown out of the stoek and lle in neat rolls on the corset counters. The same rule applies to boots and. shoes and to lingerie. The adage that it is the early bird that catches the worm by no means always applies to thé sales, for in the hurry and seurry of the first rush for bargains some of the choicest articles are sometimes lost sight of, and it is these that are revealed during the last week of final reductions.
