THE OPTION PLANK WILL BE OPPOSED

Wayne County Delegation to State Progressive Convention Against Such a Plank in Platform.

(Continued from Page One)

lng large cities it is proposed to authorize option ejections for the districts outside of the cities, and also for the cities as distinct units. It is not thought, however, that the party will take such a stand upon the question. Terse Plank Desired. There is a decided impression among the Progressives that the party should not attempt to straddle the question, but 6hould adopt a terse, forceful plank, pledging the party to the county unit until the initiative and referendum is given the people by the party. That such will be the ultimate Eolution of the problem seems evident. It is known also that the party in all probobility will adopt a plank providing for woman suffrage. This provision is included in the tentative drafts bf the- platform which have tee.n drawn, and Progressive leaders said yesterday that the plank probably will be inserted in the platform without any opposition either from members of the committee or from the convention. The platform in the main will be similar to that adopted by the New Jersey convention and in keeping with the document which will be adopted at the national convention in Chicago next week. The state platform will

provide for the direcf election of all officers, including United States senators and delegates to national conventions. It will favor a preferential vote on presidential and vice presidential candidates, and also will promise enactment of legislation which will place the primaries of all parties on a registration day. Progressive Measures. It is taken as a matter of course that the initiative, referendum and recall planks will be inserted, probably without any qualifications. The graduated income tax and a tax on inheritances also will find lodgment in ie state platform. It will provide for an expert investigation of tax laws and the enactment of laws whereby the taxes will be apportioned more equitably. The minimum wage law for women and a workmen's compensation law will be advocated. Another reform to be advocated by the party is the simplification of legal procedure and the enactment of, legislation which will annul technicalities. The party will advocate the establishment of a public utilities commission with power to regulate rates, services, capitalization and the making of physical valuations. It probably will advocate greater home rule for cities of Indiana and will express itself in favor of allowing the cities the power to adopt their own-charters. Rigid state laws to prevent child labor will be advocated and the party will go on record as favoring more industrial and agricultural education in the schools of Indiana. The plank upon this subject probably will be broad and comprehensive. The conservation of the state's resources also will be advocated. The tariff plank probably will be simple. It will bind the party to a tariff policy which, in substance, will provide that the tariff be measured by the difference between the cost of production in this country and abroad. The platform will declare for the regulation by fie federal government of all trusts doing interstate business and also will promise a rigid regulation by the state of trusts doing intrastate business. Other provisions may be inserted at the meeting of the committee tonight and there is a possibility that some of the planks now in favor among the leaders will be changed. It is probable, however, that the outline of the platform now in the hands of leaders will be accepted in the main by the committee. The committee on resolutions will meet at Progressive state headquarters, 307 Majestic building, upon the adjournment of the district meetings. The session probably will consume several hours. The committee on rules and organization will meet in room 11 of the state house while the credentials committee will meet in room 15. Edwin M. Lee, state chairman, said yesterday that, because of the desire of the party leaders to go to Chicago as delegates, it is probable that many districts will decide to elect two delegates, each entitled to one-half vote. In this event the Indiana delegaUon

will be increased from fifteen, as originally planned, to thirty, four delegates at large being elected at the convention instead of two as now provided for. Albert J. Beverldge and Mr. Lee will be the two delegates at large, and Frederick K. Landis and William Holton Dye may be selected as the other two, should the convention decide to send four. Lucius B. Swift probably will be elected as the delegate from the Seventh district to the Chicago convention. Mr. Swift has long been a personal friend of Theodore Roosevelt, and is treasurer of the Marion county Progressive party organization. Will-

CORN IS BENEFITED By the Rainfall of Tuesday Evening.

The rain of last night is estimated to have been worth thousands of dollars to the farmers of Wayne county. This is the statement of a well known farmer of the county. The corn crop was virtually saved by the rain. Corn has been at a critical stage. Corn is expected to grow well now, and to make a splendid crop, although

He has been in the "limelight" since Beveridge addressed his letter to him in which he announced his severance of relations with the Republican party and his affiliation with the Progressives. Friends of Harvey B. Stout, Jr., secretary of the state committee, urge

his selection as candidate for state j etatitician. Mr. Stout says he will j

make the race If nominated, but will make no campaign among the delegates. Friends of Judge James B. Wilson, of Bloomington, Ind., were passing the word last night that he will accept a nomination for judge of the Supreme Court. HiB supporters point to the fact that at the last election no candidate was placed in the field against him by the Democratic party. This tribute to his popularity would prove a valuable campaign asset, they as-

WILL THE FREIGHT LINE BE REMOVED? Traction Company Makes No Effort to Do So, It Is Said.

HOW TO CLEAN CORDUROY. Baby's Coat May Be Easily Washed at Home. How many mothers have worried over the problem of defining baby's white corduroy coat satisfactorily and without having recourse to the professional cleaners? The garment may be cleaned as often as necessary if the following directions are carefully observed: Shave very thinly a bar of sotue pure white soap: add with two table spoonfuls of kerosene to about half a pail of water. Boil this mixture until it is reduced one-quarter. Use a small portion of this and plenty of water to cleanse the garment. When sufficiently cleansed hold the garment spread out as much as possible while you rinse it up and down in clear water repeatedly. Be careful to have the nap running up. When the pile is raised hang in the same position to dry. Be careful not to wring or otherwise touch the garment. It should be fastened to the line with ordinary clothespins. If by some oversight the np becomes flattened wait until the piece ts thoroughly dry, when a brisk runbing with a hand broom will obviate tho trouble.

The Peanut. The common peanut rinaHy came probably from tropical America. Peanuts were introduced Into the United States in the days of the colonies. Botanlcally the peanut belongs to the same group of plants as beans and peas. but the peanut matures its fruit ov nut under the surface of the soil, not nboT ground, as do most other

leguminous plants. Properly speaking. the peanut Is a pea rather tlinn a nut. j the term "nut" having been added on j account of its flavor, which Is similar j

to that of many of tho true uuts. The peanut is known under the local names of goober, goober pea, pindar. groundpea and groundnut.

A Simple Process to Freshen and Brighten Patterns. Many a good carpet becomes shabby and worn looking without being actually old. The tiKures lose their brightness aud the grain is rouh and unkempt looUiug. Here is a simple process by which the carpet or rug will ouce more look presentable and as good as new: Cut an ounce of yellow soap intc small squares iitid with them make i lather with a pint of clear boiling water. Add to this lather a quart hot

water to which has been added ar. ounce of borax. Place the mixture on the stove and brjng the entire prepara tion to a boil, liemove it. set it to cool, and when quite cold add un ounce each of aicvhol aud ammonia and half an ounce of glycerin. Wipe over only n small portion of the carpet at a timf and rub vigorously with a clean flannel dipped into the mixture until Anally all tn spots are removed aud the coloi revived. The result will be surprising, for the change and improvement are remarkable. Another good method is to shave hall a pound of soap and boil It in n quart of water until dissolved, then add a gallon of hot water and an ounce ol salts of tartar. Mix thoroughly. Us a stiff brush and scrub the carpet witb the mixture, which should lather free ly and clean the carpet without making It very damp. As you clean a breadth wine it hard with a cloth wrung out of cold water. If there U much green in the carpet put a cup ol vinegar in the cold water. This quantity will clean a large carpet, and th process is approved by those of long experience. A housekeeper who has tried the following method says this fluid is a success for cleaning a carpet: Put a cake of white soap, two tablespoofnls eacb of ammonia, borax and sal soda intc a saucepan. Boil it until it is dissolved, then add soft water enough tc make three gallons and let it come tc a boil, and then set aside to cooL When cold apply to the carpet with a stiff brush, rinse the carpet with a

cloth wet in cold water and wrung out partially dry. Before washing rugs lay them out straight and brush with a stiff, dry scrubbing brush. You will be surprised at the amount of dirt to come out in this way, which is much better than shaking or beating them.

East Main street hill and has placed the road bed in concrete, with no provisions for the switch north on Twentieth street. In the agreement made with the city recently the traction company proposed to remove the tracks from the Glen if the city would give them a right of way down North Twentieth street. This was done and the traction company announced that the change would be made on the completion of the improvements of Main street hill. This may renew an old issue. When the freight line was first proposed to go through Glen Miller it was greatly

opposed. The residents of East Main j street took an active interest in the

question, with a few others. George

Organ Pipes. The names of the different parts of an organ pipe are interesting. For instance, the air is forced in through a hole in the pointed toe of the pipe, goes through the flue (the slit cut in the side) and strikes the lip. In some cases it then hits the beard (a metal cylinder attached just below the opening) and rebounds against the lip. producing a double vibration. There is also a tongue, and the upper part is called the barrel. Exchange.
