NYE. hopyrteht, 1908, by Edwin A.Nye WEEN THE BOY COMES COME. There's something doing when the boy comes home. It gets so quiet In the house when the children are all gone. , After thirty years of living together father and mother are where they were when they began together Just the two of them. About once a month the boy comes home. He slams the door, drops his grip, grabs the little mother and shouts. "Hello, dad!" which makes quite a difference when the boy comes home. There's e lot to tell. Mostly the boy talks to bis mothertalks about everything and sometimes about the best girl he wants to marry some fine future day and be talks to father mostly about business when the boy comes home. He is a big boy now. He thtpws bis hat Into a corner and scatters the newspapers over the floor Just as be did when he was a knee breeched kid. And mother doesn't scold quite so strongly as she used to when the boy comes home. The boy comes Saturday evening and stays over Sunday. And the Sunday dinner: The kind that mother makes of fried chicken, with plenty of gravy and the flxln's the boy likes best, is the kind that mother used to make. And father piles the plate plumb full and then some when the boy comes home. When the boy goes away? Why. mother sets the old alarm !ock (Sunday night two hours ahead of the boy's Monday morning train. And the two of them slip quietly down, mother to the kitchen and father to stir up the fire and set the table and carry in the grub, and They let the boy sleep till the very last minute. And then father shouts up the stairway. Tobo, breakfast's ready!" And ssotber bustles to get some red apples lsto the boy's valise. And as she pours the coffee she reminds the boy again about that heavy underwear should the weather turn colder, and But that's another story.

Can It Be?

SAN FRANCISCO. Cat, Nov. 23. The California campaign for the nomination of Robert M. La Follette for President will be launched here Saturday afternoon, when 250 of bis supporters will meet for a formal conference. The call sent out by Secretary Detrick of the Republican state central committee has been sig ied by Governor Johnson, Lieutenant Governor Wallace, Representative Kent and others. News dispatch in The Indianapolis Star. In California the Republican party is progressive. Hiram Johnson and his associates control the machinery The landslide that swept them into power still backs them up with approval of their acts from the overthrow of railroad and other corporate control to so significant a thing as the appointment of Glavis the man who saved Alaska as commissioner of conservation in charge of water power sites. The dispatch, which we quote at the head of this article, may inspire mingled feelings in the hearts of those who are inclined to the belief that the progressive movement is a mere myth. It will inspire mingled feelings in those who are wont to announce that a senator of a Republican state, and elected on a Republican ticket, is not a Republican because he runs for president. La Follette might be an accident in his own state, but what is to be thought of a governor of a state taking part in La Follette's campaign with all the state Republican machinery at his beck and call?

To some minds It will readily occur that Governor Johnson of California is apparently doing just exactly what the progressive Republicans are condemning using the party machinery in his control to further the candidacy of an individual. Perhaps that might be the ordinary way. Certainly Johnson has plenty of insurgent backing. Taft's visit to sunny California proved a frost. Certainly under all the old rules of the game he might go ahead and fairly claim that he was truly representing the feeling of the rank and ale in the party. However, Governor Johnson is calling a special session of the California legislature to pass a bill for the presidential primary.

Sneaking of this the St. Paul Dispatch Says: "Notwithstanding the obvious fact that these leaders know that they are perfectly safe in taking this course, the tribute is well deserved. Such faith in the people proves the good faith of the Progressive Republicans who have gained control of the party in California. "It proves, too, another thing. It proves that wherever those in control of the government of a state are willing to trust the people because they want no legislation which is not intended directly and solely to produce the greatest good to the greate t number, such progressive measures as the presidential primary are proposed and enacted. "But, on the other hand, wherever those in control of the government of a state are not willing to trust th? people because they want no legislation except that which conserves to the special interests their present power to prey upon the people, no such progressive measures as this are given decent consideration."

In California the progressives are in control. By a few midnight sessions they could stack the whole delegation from California for La Follette, and all would be set. But they are giving every man in the party a chance to express himself. In every county of the state of Indiana next spring candidates will be selected, or elected, for the usual offices. What is going to be done? It is in the power of the state Republican committee. Louis Ludlow said in his Washington correspondence of yesterday's Indianapolis Star: "Letters urging presidential primaries have been sent from La Follette headquarters within the last two weeks to the chairman of every Republican state committee, the Governor, speaker of the House of Representatives and president of the Senate of every state, and in each case an early reply has been requested. As yet no reply has been forthcoming from Chairman Lee of the Indiana Republican state committee. "The La Follette managers assert that they have direct and positive information that Capt. Harry S. New, Republican national committeeman from Indiana, is committed against the presidential primary plan."

It seems to us that the obvious conclusion will be drawn by a great many people (with the present demand for a primary in order to let the people express themselves) that the party machinery is being used in one man's favor, and that the machine politicians are playing favorites. More than that it argues that the party managers who are close to Mr. Taft are exposing him to the obvious conclusion, which will be drawn, that he prefers the nomination at any cost to allowing the people to vote on his candidacy. This is a source of weakness which is even more convincing than his own admission that he is doubtful of re-election, which he made at Chicago less than a month ago. Viewed nationally, is it good politics to continue this sort of thing? Is it a good thing for the prestige of the Republican party to have it said of its candidates that he feared submitting his case to the people, and would go to the extreme of soliciting the support of a machine, even to the point of urging the continuance of the Cox domination of Cincinnati? The progressives in California, who had everything to lose and nothing to gain, have shown the proper spirit and confidence in the people. Can it be that Mr. Taft lacks this?

Folks Past Fifty Most Use Cascarets

What glasses are to weak eyes, Cascarets are to weak bowels a 10-eent box will truly amaze you. Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condition is perfectly natural. It is just as natural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never so active as youth. The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles. So all old people need Cascarets. One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels must be kept active. This is important at all ages, but never so much as at fifty. Age is not a time for harsh physics. Youth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity. But a lash can't be used every day. What the bowels of the old need is a gentle and natural tonic. One that can be constantly used without barm. The only such tonic is Cascarets and they cost only 10 cents per box at any drug store. They work while you sleep. PATTERSON WOMAN IS CLEVEflJCTRESS Force of Dramatic Portrayal of Sensuous Existence With Husband Wins. (National News Association) DENVER, Colo., Nov. 25. Gertrude Gibson Patterson yesterday resumed the story of her life. No trained actress could have presented a more dramatic word picture than did this beautiful little woman as she recited the story upon which almost sole dependence is placed by her attorney to save her from going to the gallows for the murder of her husband, Charles A. Patterson. No great writer of fiction could depict with more force the story of a woman who sacrificed all to "live life with a zest." The court room was packed. Men and women had appeared at the doors of the court room at daylight, determined to have seats where they could hear the girl's remarkable recital. Men and women again fought for places in the court room. Every juror listened intently, with strained ear, as the little woman told her story. She ran up and down the gamut of human emotions as she described her experiences, as a little g-irl among simple minded coal mining folk; of her introduction at 16 to Emil Straus, the Chicago millionaire, of her life with him after he became infatuated with her childish beauty, of her marriage to Patterson; of her sale again to, Strouss by Patterson! of the beating which Patterson gave her when she refused to enter a resort and earn money for him; of new affluance when Strauss once more gave her thousands, having been touched by the stories of her poverty; of the days in Denver preceding the shooting; of how she referred the fatel bullets into Patterson; of her desertion in time of trouble by the millionaire, who ruined her life and of her days in prison. There were moments when tears stood in her eyes. There wer times when her eyes flashed with anger. Again those eyes spoke bitter hate, first for Patterson, and then for Millionaire Strouss. Once more they were eyes of a simple country girl, smiling innocently at the judge and jury. Then into them came that look of a woman bravely facing her own battles, yet without words, asking mercy of the jurors. GOTHAM RECALLS THE EVACUATION (National News Association) NEW YORK, Nov. 25. New York today held its usual observance of Evacuation day, the anniversary of the evacuation of the city by the British troops, at the end of the revolutionary war, On Nov. 25, 1783, the last British troops on American soil departed from the city, and as their ships ships made their way down the bay Washington's army entered. BUYING A TURNER. Hew Ons of ths Pa in tar's Favoritas Cams to America. In Henry Stevens "Recollections of Mr. Lenox" is given his version of the purchase of a Turner by this gentleman "abont 1847," without any title or description of the picture, but which is apparently the "Staffs. Fingal's Cave," stated in the catalogue to have been "bought from the artist for Mr. Lenox by Mr. Leslie in August, 1845." C R. Leslie had been instrumental In securing for the New York collector a number of paintings, and on this occasion received from him a sight draft on Barings for 800. "requesting- him to be so good as to purchase of his friend, Mr. Turner, the best picture by him be could get for the money." Turner's "grumpy reply" wss to the effect that he had no pictures to sell to Amercans. that his works were not adapted to their commercial and money grubbing tastes and that Leslie had better go elsewhere. On sight of the draft, however, he became somewhat mollified, finally "turned around a small picture standins en tba floor against the wall and said: There, let Mr. Lenox have that It is one of my favorites. He Is a gentleman, and I retract Will that salt you, Mr. Leslie 7 " Mr. Lenox was at first sight not much pleased with his purchase, and so notified Leslie, but be soon wrote Leslie to burn his first letter: T have now looked into my Turner, and It Is all that I could desire."
