Preliminary to the exercising of the rights of an elector there is nothing more important than the participa- tion in the primary for the selection of candidates who through their rec- ords in public or private life will in- spire the confidence and support, not only of the party, but of the entire electorate. 'What is desired in the conduct of every city government is the dest business administration which can be obtained and to get it the men ‘who are best qualified to give it should be placed before the citizens. The aim cannot be too high when it comes to picking men for public service for it is through such sélections that an in- valuable contribution is made to the canse of good government, that a strong appeal is made to the whole list of voters, and that an interest is created which will minimize the in- clination to stay away from the polls. ‘With such a purpose in view there should be a large gathering of repub- licans this week for the nomination of a city ticket. The time is ripe for a republican victory and nothing will give greater assurance of such a re- sult than the placing before the people of candidates who can be depended upon to give the city the best pos- sible administration with strict regard for economy and efficiency. With men of such type named to direct the mu- nicipal affairs they cannot fail to get recognition, and it is to be remembered i that it is such which is bound to re- place dissension with unity. The best men are not only the ones to get out the vote, but they are the ones the city needs, and the place to start the proper action to get them is at the caucus, WILL HUERTA GO? There is always that uncertainty clinging to Mexican reports which makes them a poor basis for determin- ing the outcome and such surrounds the rumors at the present time con- | cerning the intended abdication of Huerta, however much that is desired for the straightening out of the Mex- ican trouble. There is no question but what that would do more than any one thing to bring about a readjust- ment of conditions in that republic. The elimination of Huerta is what this country has persistently sought and it is what it and a large part of Mex- ico are striving for today. Even though reports of his intended action may seem. too gzood to be true the dictator has witnessed the waning of his power from the time when he took control, gradual though it may have been, until now, when he faces the worst situation in his entire career as the self-selected head of the nation. It is only a question of time when he must step down and out, and the quicker he does it the better, Falling to get the recognition of this country he has felt the embarrass- ment of a hampered financial condi- tion, which has been steadily grow- ing worse and more hopeless. The rebels on the other hand have been showing increasing strength and the steady advance of their frontier to the south and the capture of important federal cities and garrisons has made evident even to this stubborn warrior that the inevitable was pending. That the climax should come as the result of the siep taken by the United States affords him an excellent excuse for leaving the country. He can now de- part with the claim that it was as the result of pressure from the United States. It is ‘a much desired move and one which it is hoped is founded on fact for the bemefit it will be to Mexico, LITTLE DISTINCTION. Tt isn’t surprising that New York is bewildercd by the great variety of demonstrations of fads and isms which it is receiving or having thrust upon it. Something new is belng developed every day to entertain and cause trouble with the great underlying pur- pose of attracting attention and gain- ing a certain kind of notoriety, All the efforts are characterized by a cer- tain degree of sameness so that it is only natural as the New York Post says, that “To the man in the street the distinotion between socialist, an- archist, I. W. W, and militant suffra- @&ist is probably not very clear and not exceedingly vital, He dubs the cen- glomerate mass in Union square the first name that cemes te mind and judgment, But the members of the socialist party preper find it highly unpleasant to have their meet- ‘broken up turned inte panics at Norwieh, | ‘W. W. agitators of the Tm-a-bum’ va- riety, adolescent ‘students’ of “‘social sclence’ litterateurs impelled by the twin forces of the moving picture cam- era and indigestion, and the rest of the motley crew.” These radical factions thrive upon the publicity they can receive and the able they can make and should they ¥ what they profess to be strivias for it would only be the signal for further and greater campaign of law- lessness. Their objects are all the seme though they may differ in name. BETTER USE FOR MONEY. Just at this time when efforts are be- ing directed towards rendering value- less the children’s bureau and the mi- gratory bird-law through a denial of appropriations under the plea of eeon- omy, after the need and worth of this branch of the government and the fed- eral law have been established a mag- nificent opportunity to turn such scru- ples to the overcoming of waste is re- vealed in the report of the house com- mittes on printing in congress. By that report it is shown that there are at the present time in the government storehouse one thousand toms of use- less documents while there are six million uncalled for volumes in the past six years. This means that there is a huge waste of time, thought and money in producing something which is not re- quired and which is valueless. It is not surprising under this disclosure that it is also claimed that a saving of $850,000 a year could be effected by a curtailment of this waste. There are s0 many other good uses to which that money could be put and accomplish so much for the benefit of humanity in general that it should be unneces- sary to peint them out. This furnish- es much additional information as to the waste in government printing in support -of the claim that the abolish- ment of the “leave to print” in the Congressional Record would effect a saving of $100,000 a year and at once make available funds for many good causes. The _contention that the gov- ernment could do much better in the distribution of its appropriations under a budget system is thus given valuable support, and congress some thing worth while to think seriously about.

The wheels are small, round blocks of wood and the basket can be removed from the frame which the wheels support. Such a bassinet, trimmed with point g’espril and ribbon, can be made at ome. A companion to this convenient bassinet is the revolving wardrobe. There are four compartments, the top one with a hinged cover, the others iprotected by "the compartment above them when they are folded into posi- tion. The top one Is llned with silk and has pockets and a pin-cushion. The others have silk pads in the bot- tom. The whole thing is e of white enameled reed. DOLLS ON TABLE. The newest table decoration con- sists of dolls with china heads and Dbodies dressed on flower petals in Louis XVI costumes, in two contrast- ing colors. Bither the hooped skirt is in pink, the bodice and overdress in blue, or these may ®e reversed. Tho petals are sewn closely together on some invisible material, and the dolls, their white and pink faces and paint- ed coiffure of the period rising above fiowered costumes, look very nt and pleasing; the more so, as contrast is so great with the exi- difficulty in getting familiar with the; guity of gowns of to-day. cape as Cod island.

Just at the present time the depart- ment of state is not being besieged by applicants for diplomatic and con- sular positions in the republic to the| south of the Rio Grande. It is too bad that the Vera Cruz Mex- icans could mot have anticipated the pleasure in American rule which they are now manifesting, before blood was shed, but that isn't the Mexican way. If Huerta is preparing to give up his dictatorship in Mexico the great- est regret is that he didn't come to his senses and take such a step be- fore so many lives were sacrificed at Vera Cruz. Lol It would be a delightful thing if as many congratulations could be sent to Huerta as to Carranza and Vilia for the concessions made.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Yellow dock, root or leaves, steeped in negar, will cure the worst case of gworm. Yellow vaseline 1s one of the most reliable cures for faling hair where the fault is due to a dry scalp. Part the hair and rub_a minute portion directly on the scalp so that the hair will not become oily. Somectimes one finds it impossiblo to give castor oil to a child without holding the child and pouring it down, but given in this way any child will take it willingly: Boil the cesior oil with an equal quantity of sweet milk, add just a bit of sugar, stir constantly and cool. When a cold in the nose and head is coming on rub the nose between the thumb and forefinger. This press- es the blood to the mucous membrane and helps wonderully in throwing off the cold. This, of course, must be done at the outset. Going to bed in a cold room after having passed an evening in a hot atmosphere is to be condemned as is also the practice of chilly sheets and too thin night attire. Cold provokes indigestion. Cold feet are also often a cause of insomnia. A hot water bot- tle, a pair of knitted socks or wrap- ping them in a little blanket often overcomes this. A foot bath followed brisk rubbing that quickens cir- tion is also recommended just be- fore retiring. STORING THE FURS. Furs should hot see the light of April—if they are valuable enough to care about at all, and it is a wise woman who attends to the putting away of ‘the family furs before the really warm days approach. Most city folks now send their hand- some furs to cold storage for the sum- mer months. The slight fee charged is inconsiderable beside the comfort of knowing that one’s furs are safe and may be dismissed from the mind until they are needed again in the autumn. The low temperature of the cold storage rooms also gives the furs a rich, silky luster and makes each separate hair stand out as it does on the animal—for ‘of course, fur bearing animals come from cold countries, and the 20 below zero temperature of cold orage is a deal better for your seal- skin coat, madame, than the stifilng 90 in the shade of the cedar chest, in the home attic. But moths, not summer heat, are the most dangerous enemy of furs, and the surest preventive against ruin by moths is to get the furs put away before the moth eggs have been laid. The moment you see a moth flitting about be sure that eggs have already been lald somewhere—perhaps only in that old winter blanket folded under the cover of the divan: but equally, perhaps, in your $300 set of tec fox which you have not had time tc put away. If moth eggs are discovered the furs don't take any chances; arry them to a reliable furrier to ba treated and cared for. If you are sure there are no moths in them hang them in the air for a whole day, brush them thotoughly and then wrap in news- before slipping into the cedar or moth bags. Moths detest apers, and if well wrapped and soaled ordinary newspapers are as cfficacious as camphor balls in keep- ing out the pest. If fur looks duil and matted ard has lost its gloss and fluffiness, sprinkle it well with pewdered starch and leave, coversd with newspapers, for twenty- four hours, Then shake out the starch and the #ir will be light and flufly, as your own hair is when treated t a dry shampeo of oris reot and tal- cam, DICTATES OF FASHION.

At mid- night of that day Dublin was in an uproar. The doors of a local legis- lative reform club, a branch of the United Irishmen Society, burst open with a crash. In the doorway stood the scarlet-coated scldiers of the King, covering the assembled Irish- men with their guns. The leaders were arrested and carried off to jail for treason. From this moment dates the insurrection that was fought out four years later. Ive- land was flooded ‘with government troops, but the Soclety grew rapid- ly. Oaths of membership and secrecy were administered. Pikes and munitions of war were secretly distributed and hidden for the up- rising. The Society haa over 500,000 members at the beginning of 1798. Stern measures to stamp out the rebellion were instituted. The in- surrection began near Spafford on the 24th of May. It raged for a month, closing in the battle of Vinezar Hill with victory for the government. The rebellion cost the lives of 150,000 Irishmen and 20,000 English. Three years later the irish Parliament was removed from Dublin and united with the Eng- lish at London. A Record-Breaking Show at the No. 1 THE HUMAN PICCOLO Ne. 5 and No.2 BELLE BREEN NOW Today, after more than a century under the rule of Parliament at London, it is proposed to restore the Irish Puarllament taken away in 1801, and to give Ireland home rule. The country is split in two over the proposition. The province of Uls- ter at the north declares against the proposal, while the balance of Ireland demands it. The House of Commons has twice passed the bill and the third passing, when the bill become law, is near. More than 100,000 men of Ulster stand in de- fiance against the proposed govern- ment. They are organized into a citiz army with some of Great Britain’s greatest soldlers as their ieaders. They are drilling and learning to shoot straight. Muni- tions of war are being gathered. A fund of $5,000,000 is being raised for the support of “the dependent relatives of the volunteers who may be wounded or killed in the fight- ing.” The leaders of the govern- ment are striving to avert civil war by conciliatory measures. More than 25,000 British troops are as- sembled today in the government barracks in Ulster to put down any uprising. smoking l.!v-y&' mc:sofl CHARBONNEAU of ECONOMY.
