i;i:ri m,i an ii:M.(;of;ri:iiY applii:i to Tin: niic.(io i:u:(tion. Lorimcrism in Chicago, apparently, is not d-ad. -v n if the "blond boys" is under indictment. That is the only Interpretation that can he placed on Tue sday's -b tion then-; that is, if It is to he- interpreted at all as a partisan Nictory. And it is a partisan victory to a certain degree-. It is partisan to th extent that apparently the hotter element of the democratic party, choosing what to them t-eemed th If sser of two evils. Joined forces with the republicans to prevent a sure and promised return to the iM days of commercialized vice and political rottcnncs.s which Mayor f.Vi rter H. Ilarrlt'n apptar.s to have made a semblance of an effort to upset. It might not be so very unwise for the democracy of Chicago to take "a lesson from the fig tree while the branch a are yet green." The noihlnation of Kobcrt M. .Sweitzer over 2dayor Harrison at the recent primary was made upon the understanding within the democratic party that Sweitzer's election would mean tho return of a "wide open" Chicago, which perhaps would have been quite to the liking of a majority of democrats, hut the minority voting with the republicans, seem to have declined to have it worked out to any such limit under democratic administration. Thompson, while not avowedly a reform candidate, has it at least to hla credit that he did not openly and persistently, if not boastingly, pose as a vice candidate, and under such conditions wo can readily understand why democrats who regard the welfare of humanity In general as of more Importance than the supremacy of the vice element, should have no particular compunctions against choosing even a, Lnrinier candidate, with some chance of improvement, as against a Roger Sullivan candidate, with no chance at all. This as we view It. is the answer to tho whole question. Republicans are. of course, trying to draw from it a hearing upon national issues, and by so doing are making It that much harder for a democrat to ever again ote with them for any reason. It was the friends of farter Harrison, ami "f his reform measures, regardless of how long delayed nor how Incompletely successful; these joined to the opposition to .'weitzerism, that did the work, national politics having Just enough to do with it to enable tho republicans to present the front. Thompson is swept into oltice on a wave of republican politics plus democratic disaffection and indignation er "wide o;i.n" townism. The election is. a rebuke to the like of Don Kobertsism as Chicago rebukes it. We are not" expecting anything great to bo done for the Windy city by the Hon. William Hale Thompson, but what lie tails to do will not have been deliberately done by a mayor who is a democrat. The republicans get what littlo glory there is in winning the otHce, but they also get the responsibility. And we half anticipate that it is republican realization of the reason for Mr. Thompson's success, and a quite rtain knowledge that in actual execution of anti-vice measures, he is to be a disnlal failure, that leads partisans of that faith to so anxiously seek to tie the accomplishment to the tali of their, national kite. If they can only make the public believe that the peopie of Chicago thought they were oting Tor a "protective tariff, and a return to Lorimer, Kirnes. Hoot, Foraker, Penrose, et cetera, there will be less xeuse for keeping an eye on Thompson and noting his failures, iiosides it will serve to put somo feather in the caps of I.orlmer, Harnes, Knot. Foraker. Penrose, et cetera, which i a wry particular spot just now whirr feathers are needed. One mi-ht have gmsscd from the muniripal elections of K13 that the Indiana democracy was to have been wiped off the map in l'1 14, but when the' votes w Te counted last fall they told a quite different tale, just as significant of tho different e between municipal ..-sues and state and national issues, as oted upon 1 tho people-, as the i lection in Ciiieao may eventually prove. To be sure tin? republican interpretation of the Chicago victory having been Noted to "iewse the tariff," was to be expected, and what the republicans. .- emir. -;ly regard as a "honeheaded" public, is by them, of course, expect 1 to 'ieve it. but that is r;. rely in keeping with the republican L.-t:n:ate f the public intelligence. It dee -n't make it s . hipim; a ;ood thing.

Twice England has been tempted t use this annihilator and, if Germany doesn't look out, she'll be again tempted. One time, when the French were doing things at Toulon, the Pritish government wanted to lire off the "Destroyer," but Dundonald objected, on the ground that other nations would learn the secret. The second temptation came when Napoleon was getting his fleet together, near Flushing, to invade England. This time Dundonald offered to touch off the "Destroyer" at the French Meet, but the government objected, on the ground thfit it wouldn't be war but annihilation. The excuses given for not using the thing rather cast suspicion upon its existence but maybe the kaiser may yet make them mad enough to employ their annihilator. One thing is certain, and that is that, if the Hritish have got an annihilator of the power claimed ami so easy of adoption by the nations, it ought to bring it out, because it will put an end to war forever and be the mightiest of intluences for promoting a universal brotherhood. Great Britain claims to be for the world's peace. She can establish it for all time, provided this Dundonald thing1 la not just a ghost fer frightening Germans, Austrians and Turks. Let her turn her "Destroyer" loose on an empty fort, or battleship, show what it can do and thereby disclose the secret! The world can then have peace, send its armies back to the pIonv and put its dreadnaughts to carrying corn. It is simply an Insult to Great Britain to accuse it of postponing perpetual world's peace for the sake of preserving intact a useless secret. 50 YKAItS AGO AT APPOMATTOX. The 50th anniversary April 9 of the surrender of Dee at Appomattox is not being observed much by public celebrations. It is one of the great historic events of American life. Yet few northern men care to "rub in" these memories. They can only have sympathy for their tragic desolation of the south. To the older people the memories of that portentous day will never grow dim. The gulf between the two sections seemed as high as heaven and as deep as hell, ghastly Nvith skeletons, mined homes and fortunes. Yet time heals all wounds. There are scars visible, but flowers have grown over the graves and the ruins. Perfect harmony can never he expected between widely separated sections of any large country. The fact that differences exist does not prove that the relations are not cordial. The east and the west have tneir sharp conflicts, almost as much as south and north. A nation that spreads over so vast an expanse aa the United .States has many divergent interests to reconcile. It can never be as harmonious i . a small and compact country. It gains all the power and freedom of bigness, but it pays for it with the diversities of ideas and points of view. These diversities are often sharp, yet they need never be serious or threatening. If it was only possible for the great mass of the people to travel freely all over the country, friction between sections would be reduced to a small minimum. Most of the differences referred to result from a lack of personal understanding of the people and problems of other sections. The heroism of the two armies that finally joined hands at Appomattox is the joint heritage of all the people. Their endurance, and their daring are an expression of the idealism anil dotermination of American character. Any man who had an ancestor on that field has a right to rejoice in the glory of his blood, regardless which side he fought on. Some one asks what has become of the man who used to take a day off in spring and set out a lot of trees all along the highway? Well just now he is telephoning to the local authorities to come up and set out a tree that will shade his front porch at public expense. Victoriana Hucrta is reported as mailing for New Yerk. but it is mt known that Pies't Wilson has yet invited him to occupy the guest room at the Nvhite house. Who says that the United States is not spreading civilizatlem. u hen it has Just sent tNvo of its best bruisers down to Havana to exemplify the art of prize fighting? It is helped that row boats will be allowed to put out from the seashore resorts this summer without being attacked by the submarines of the warring powers.' The increase this spring in the number of applications for automobile licenses suggests that there must be a reat many people wh are filling to loan money.

Seeing America 0 First

Py Itcd Kelly. Jotted in diary: Unless a person is constantly on his guard in California he will wake up some morning and find himself hope-le.-sly in tile clutches of the sand dab habit. I myself have fallen a victim to the insidious sard dab. I struggled against it, I fought the good tight, but it was a losing battle against too great odds, and today the sand dab has me just where- it wants me. The sand dab, it may be well to explain, is a kind of tish. a cunnin' little iish about half a foot long or at b ast it seems to average about that size when it appears on the platter ready for the ultimate consumer. It has the general outline and conformation of a wat rmelon seed, and is .-n exceptionally bony variety of ' tish. This latter feature of the dab might at lirst thought serve to keep the dab and the tourist apart and protect them from one another. Put it dots not. A homely woman's face may do picket duty for her virtue, but a sand dab's multiplicity of bones are of scant avail in keeping it from the frying pan. The lirst night I was in California I sat at a hotel tal.de pondering over the menu, uncertain what to say to the; waiter, and half inclined to make the usual select ion common to such moments of indecision, that is, ham and e-gs. A pleasant young person named Tom Stout, with whom I was dining, suggested sand dabs. lie seemed so insistent that, between curiosity and dsirc not to IhtI his feelings, I foolishly consented. From that moment 1 have been a changed man. I am no longer my own master. .My will power is gone. Kach iH'on at lunch and again each night at dinner I go into a cafe fully resolved to steel myself against the dubious attractions of the dab and order a beefsteak or a plate of hash. Put before 1 realize what I am doing 1 tell the waiter to make mine dabs. When the dab comes, or rather when the three uabs come, for they are invariably served in threes, I feel certain that the next time it will be easier to resist. The have a llavor that makes one feel like repeating, 'tis true, but they also have more little clandestine bones than a porcupine has quills. Fating a sand dab is a good deal like working for one's beard. Why does one order dabs when ho 1 , 11 4 V 1wnft2 mno IV i t Vl r. J 1 1 J till l 111 1 1 l 1 1 e i. ' w a v j it? Why does a confirmed drunkard order strong liquor that he knows will ! cause him to go home and beat hla wife and children? dimply because the habit is upon him. I shall not be my real self again until I go where the sand dab is not. My unfortunate experience with sand dabs recalls a distressing episode with still another article of California food, if artichokes may properly be called food. Two of three years ago a handsome matron in Washington was giving a little dinner. In order to round the affair out and give the final touch of tone to the occasion she invited me. A feature of the entertainment was a course consisting of artichokes, which she had ordered at considerable expense direct from California. Now, that evening marked the first formal presentation, as you might say, of mvself and artichokes to one another. 1 had viewed them a few times from a distance, but we had never been thrown together in the intimate way that made that dinner memorable. Artichokes are not eaten quite like anything else. And there is no reason why they should be. What 1 mean is that there is no reason why artichokes should be eaten at all. The average person will find it about as satisfying just to read about something to eat as to consume an artichoke. A person who is going to take artichokes seriouslv should start in when extremely young and familiarize himself with the eating process. Those who take up artichokes late in life never acquire that ease of manner which is so essential te the full enjoyment of expensive food. 1 had been tipped off to the fact that artichokes are eaten by breaking off a leaf at a time with one's own God-given lingers. No artificial eating implements are necessary or required by social usage. Put there is a trick to the thing about which I had not been fully advised. Not all of an artichoke is suitable for eating. One nibles off just the soft part at the root of each petal-like leaf and tosses the rest of the fragment into the discard. I put one or two of the fibrous leaves into my mouth and -hewed, while awaiting developments. After a few minutes of this I decided to swallow what I had in my mouth without further chewing, for, fr;mUly, I was not making great headway, and the total volume of goods in my mouth seemed to be increasing. The tibre of the leaf would not dissolve, and I felt like a man who is trying to eat up a jute bag or a strip of binder twine. I heard some one remarking that the artichoke was at its best when one got down into its heart. So 1 broke eff several more leavt-s and went at them with calm resignation, eager to have the worst over with, for I am not One who will disappoint a hostess bv not appearing to relish costly victuals. I chewed and chewed and chewed. I was so intent on my task that 1 did not note the technique of those about me. and therefore could not. profit by observation. At the close of the meal the hostess asked me what I thought of the artichokes, and I told her they impressed me as being extremely serviceable and attractive, as indeed they were. An artichoke looks ornamental and mine had proved durable. F.ut when it comes to selecting something to cat. 1 incline toward suid dabs.

A boom is on in the sheep inelustry of the Kocky mountain states. A heavy shortage of finished lambs and sheep, owin? to reeluced fedeing operations has resulted in record prices at this and either markets. Besides, nvooI is already being contracted in the west on the sheep's back at prices up to 27 1-2 cents a pound, or fully 10 cents a pound more than a year ago. This means an addition of about to cents to the value of each clip. On the 49,000,000 sheep in the United States the searing nvooI market will mean millions for rlockmasters. Western sheepmen are so bullish they are contracting little wool, having lost in such operations the last few years. Thej,' have had a very favorable winter, with feNv exceptions.

Mr. Clark eleveloped Wildemere and made it one of the most elesirahle shore resort possible, and it is expected that property in the vicinity of North st. will increase in value when the Improvements have been maele on his newly acepuired property.

The Mohawk and Wolverine Mining companies announced increases in wages for the company account of miners of 10 per cent and live per cent for all other undergrounel employes, affecting 800 men.
