How It Would Benefit the Re publican Party. A CAMPAIGN FUND PROVIDER. Roosevelt Strangely Silent About the National Publicity Bill In Recent Message?Reason For Omission Obvi ous?Politics at White House?Black List and Boycott?Democrats to Fight Anti-labor Legislation. By willis j. abbot. There have come to me so many in quiries concerning Democratic state conventious thus far held and the dates of those yet to come that I take this opportunity of giviug the information to friends who may be interested. These states have already acted: Wis consin, Kansas. Oklahoma, Nebraska, North Dakota, Rhode Island, lowaaud Indiana. All of these states instructed for Mr. Bryau except Rhode Island. It. that state, which has eight dele gates to the convention, seven of those chosen are pronounced Bryan men. The convention, however, declined to Instruct. The state, conventions the dates of which have been tixed are as follows: New Jersey, April 23; Illinois, April 23; Ohio, May 5; Minnesota, May 14; Vir ginia, May 17; Washington, May 18; South Carolina, May 20; Pennsylvania, May 20; Missouri, May 20; Texas, May 20; Oregon, June lb"; Tennessee, June 17. Of course this doesn't by any means \ cover the fall list of states, and within the uext two or three days the dates of many other conventions are likely to be announced. Governor Johnson's Friends. Governor Johnson ought to re-echo that old prayer that be might be saved from his friends. In a letter to the editor of a Swedish paper in his state he expressed bis willingness to accept the Democratic nomination for the presidency, which indeed no man this year would care to decline. The gov ernor's letter was straightforward and manly, but the enthusiast to whom it was sent or some other enthusiast with whom the latter must have con ferred followed the letter in the press dispatches with certain statements that will not greatly aid Governor Johnson's ambitions. He said, for ex ample, that the friends of the governor were hopeful' of getting part of the Minnesota delegation, and they recall ed the fact that in 1S02 Grover Cleve land did not have the united New York delegation back of him, yet was nominated. And the correspondent went on to say that Governor John son's friends do not hesitate to assert that the forces that were behind Cleve land at that time are today behind Johnson. The forces behind Cleveland prior to the convention of 18;)2 sent to that convention a multimillionaire, now dead, but whose name has been sadly tarnished by recent revelations in New York finance. The forces l>ehind Cleve land during the election were the forces of plutocracy, the Wall street and the railroad multimillionaires. The effect of this support was that iu the first congressional election after Cleve land's inauguration the Democratic party was beaten as it had not been beaten for long before nor was beaten afterward until the forces behind Cleveland rendered the valuable serv ice of getting behind Judge Parker. Planning Campaign Funds. People alK>ut the house and the sen ate are calling attention to what seems to be a carefully prearranged plan to secure for the uext Republican na tional committee a comfortable cam paign fund, and the Republicans have so long carried elections by the power of money that they would be grievous ly embarrassed if they did not have some millions at their disposal. Iu. a message of some months ago President Roosevelt warmly commeud ed-lhe principle of a bill of which Ter ry. Belmout is the most able promoter for giving publicity to all campaign contributions. That bill is before con gress, or, to be more accurate. Is in committee, but when the president sent his latest message asking that certain things be done before the end of this most dilatory session the national pub licity bill was not one of the things he mentioned. But he did urge the creation of a tariff commission, which should sit during the summer and fall and take evidence and gather statistics bearing upon that famous revision of the tariff which for some ten years has always been going to be made Immediately after the uext election. Put these two matters together. A tariff commission, which if created by this congress would necessarily have a swinging majority of high tariff states men upon it traveling about the coun try meeting the protected manufactur ers all the way from the shipbuilders of Pennsylvania to the lumber mag nates of Oregon, would naturally be able to suggest to these gentlemen who have profited so much by the tar iff that the defeat of the Republican party in the uext election would be disastrous to them, while its scecess . coulc! #mly be secured by the use of money. Of eourse if the publicity bill should become a law aud if it were properly enforced the voters of the eounrry thirty days before the election would be informed who was putting up the funds for the campaign of either par ty. A list of heavy contributions from the steel trust or the oil trust or the ?"lumber trust to the Republican party or any other party would prove disas If you haven't the time to exercise rc-gularly.

What more can any one do. A. C. Dukes. J trous. Indeed, publicity given to such innocent and charitable contributions as were made by the insurance com . panies to Mr. "Roosevelt's last cam i paign fund or eveu the general knowl : edge that a "practical man" like E. H. ! Harri man bad been called to the White , House and asked to raize ?232,000 j three or four days before election to ! carry New York might really create iu ' the minds of the voters some question ; as to the entire good faith of the party ' adopting these methods. I So it would seem that the omission of any recomn?"ndation for the public ity bill and the insistence upon a tariff commission rather suggest a scheme to raise money by devious ways for use in au election which now the Re publicans themselves look upon with apprehension. Some White House Gossip. A Republican senator from the mid dle west says that in a recent couver I sation with the president the latter re '< iterated with vigor his expressed deter mination' not to be a candidate this year. He declared that all he could do would be doue for Secretary Taft, and indeed the extreme activity to this eud of the federal officeholders notwith standing the civil service reform law seems to justify the president's asser tion. But the interesting point is that my informant came away from the "vyhite House with the very tixed opin ion that the president was not hopeful of the election of Taft, however hope ful he might be of bis nomination. In deed, it is the belief among keen poli ticians about the capitol that the chances for the success of any Repub lican this year are so exceedingly.small that a gentleman with the spectacular instincts of Mr. Roosevelt would be quite likely first to seek the credit of nomiuatiug a successor even though he might possibly fail, theu make a regal tour of Europe and return to politics four jcars hence to become the savior of bis party and his nation from Democratic rule. It sounds much like Roosevelt. iO man in public life is more thoroughly self seeking than he, and none' plays shrewder politics. The close of his ad ministration finds the country facing a business depression such as has not been known since 1S93. It followed upon a pauic which paralleled the one which nearly fifteen years ago was charged to Democratic policies. Mr. Roosevelt has had for seven years al most unhampered control of the gov ernment of this nati: Jp He has had a congress which, while of late covertly hostile, was long ouly too eager to do his bidding. His party and himself are responsible for the business situation in the United States today, which led more than 50,000 people in New York on a recent Saturday to join in a dem onstration for the unemployed. Mr. Roosevelt is a shrewd politician. He knows that the times are precarious for his party and even more doubtful for himself. To thrust forward the good humored Taft would mean that In the doubtful result of success he would be hailed as the sponsor of the successful candidate, while defeat would merely eliminate Taft, but leave the only living Republican ex-president in a position to seek the limelight in other fields of activity, and return to plague his party once again. This is the feeling among, I should say, almost a majority of the Republicans in the house and senate. To any one who has studied the Roosevelt character and career it sounds like a plausible expla nation of his present attitude. The Black List and the Boycott. Much of the pressure beiug brought to bear upon congress for a radical amendment of the Sherman anti-trust law Is due to the belated discovery of the large corporate employers of labor that some of the decisions recently rendered in courts -' against unions which have attempted to boycott goods manufactured by certain firms may be appealed to by unions to destroy those corporations which are maintaining a black list, so called, of workingmen. For a time members of labor unions who had any property whatsoever were pauic stricken after the decision of the Danbury hatters. Oue of them said to me a few days after that deci sion: "I belong to a uniou, and I must belong to a uuion to work .at my trude and secure fair wages. I owu a little house, but under this decision if my union shall compel me and my fellows to strike and advise a boycott of the goods of the firm for which we have beeu working I am made individually liable. The firm could select such members of the uniou as it knew were at all financially responsible and strip them of their property." It seemed like a hard case, and un der the decisions as they now stand it is a possible one now. But the very employers who are fighting the boycott and the concerted strike do maintain black lists. The heads of the labor un ions have within the past few days secured legal advice to the effect that any union whose members are dis criminated against because of their membership in that onion can proceed against the corporation which has blacklisted them. Of course what a court will do is not determined until the court has done It, but It is alto gether probable that within a few days the unions will strike back, particular ly the unions of railroad employees, through the courts and secure a spe cific decision as to whether the black list is more lawful than the boycott. As a matter of fact, the employing cor porations theinselres are afraid to meet the issue, feeling sure that tfcay would be defeated in It. It ? for that reason that they are trying te ?neb through new labor legislation and are willing to make aluiopt every conces sion provided their right to maintain a blask lh>t be guarded. The Democratic members of the house have been warn ed of this purpose, and the proposed legislation is likely to have a bard time. Washington, D. C. Everything taken into the stomach should be digested fully within a cer tain time.

KEEPING FRESH EGGS. ?low They Can Be Preserved In Good Condition For Months. It may be news to many housewives that at the cost of only a cent a dozen, pins a little time and trouble, they car. keep fresh eggs for several months and still have them come up to the strictly fresh standard, says the Washington Post. The spoiling of eggs is declared by scientific men to be due to the en trance of air. carrying germs of decom position through the shells. Normally an eggshell has a coating of mucilagi nous matter, not perceptible to the touch, but quite sufficient to make the shell air tight. This coating will keep out germs for quite awhile, especially If the egg Is carefully handled. But it is sure to become softened in time, either by washing or by friction with a case or with other eggs. Then the germ laden air gets in and the eggs begin to spoil. This explains why eggs packed In lime or salt or placed in cold storage are very far from being fresh when they come on the market. According to experiments made at the govern ment station in North Dakota, there really is one method of keeping fresh eggs which does preserve their fresh ness. By this method. eggs which wnre packed in August were opened three and one-half months later and "still appeared to be perfectly fresh." In most packed eggs after a little time the yolk settles to one side, and the egg Is then Inferior in quality. But In these three months* old eggs the j'olk was in its normal position, and "in taste they were not to be distinguished from fresh, unpacked eggs." This Is worth knowing, if it is true. And there are other reports to the same effect German experimenters tried twenty methods of preserving eggs. The three which ,ere found most satisfactory were coating them with vaseline, preserving them in lime water and preserving them In water glass. The vaseline was tedious, and the limewater gave the eggs a disa greeable odor and taste. So that of all the twenty methods employed the use of water glass seem ed to be the best. There is one test of packed eggs with which most cooks are familiar. Such eggs do not beat up well for cakemaking or for frosting. By this test the eggs kept in water glass solution seemed quite equal to the average fresh eggs of the market. Water glass is a cheap product that should not cost more thau 50 cents a gallon. One gallon would make enough solution to preserve fifty dozen eggs, so that the cost would be only a cent a dozen. Water glass is a sodium or potassium silicate. To make the solution use ret quarts of pure water that has been thoroughly boiled and then cooled. Add one quart of water glass to the tei marts *t water.

Indigestion bothered me at times also. "I was advised to take Peruna, and I took it as prescribed for a month, vhen my cure was almost complete. Today there is not a trace of catarrh in my system, and I can say wi thout hesitation that Peruna cured me." Agreeable and Effective Tonic. Corporal John Finn, Washington, D. C, veteran soldier of the Civil War, a prominent Grand Army man and com mander of the oldest post in the United States, John A. Rawlins Post No. 1, de partment of the Potomac, Grand Army of the Republic, writes: "Peruna was recommended to me by many of my associates, and I have given it a fair trial.

I have suffered from catarr?al afflictions the Col.
