In its worst form as applied to a few leading officers, it is better than convention of trading politicans controlled by the bosses. For that reason the "Chronicle" has favored it from the time it was first seriously proposed in this State, which was some years ago at one of the earlier meetings of the Commonwealth Club. It did not, however, originate with that very respectable body but. so far as this state is concerned, with cer tain innovators, mostly located in Los Angeles, which was the head quarters of the Direct Primary League of California, which had been faithfully circulating literature and argument on the subject some time before it was presented to the Com monwealth Club, which was some time in the latter part of 1905 or the early part of 1906 before the fire and the records were burned. It was taken np by the club again tn November, 1906 t,he number of the club's transactions dealing with the subject being dated January, 1907. The "Chronicle has favored a direct primary law for this state since it wa first hromrht into discussion in this city, and was the first important in the State to do so of history is given for the benefit of the various journals whicn are squao bling with each other for' the glory of first proposing a direct primary law. None of them are entitled to that credit Neither is the "Chron icle." It is one of the things which the people of the State have done themselves- While the "Chronicle" has steadily I the loneliest woman. That ia her own fault. Making all allowances for Hettie's peculiarities, she could have hosts and hosts of friends so long as her millions lasted at least. ax.

Smyrna, in Asia Minor, is still the leading raisin- producing country, its output in 1908 being 116, 480,000 pounds, as against California's 100,000,000 pounds. Greece in 1908 produced 369,600,000 pounds of currants. The Greeks have not a very large country in which to operate, but they make a good showing in the horticultural line. Ex. The Russian Government has join ed that of Great Britain in presenting a stronelv worded note protesting against the atrocities committed by Persian troops near Julia, in tne light of recently published statistics of eeexutions in Russia and of native Russians fleeing in thousands to escape the threat ot the knout, tne callows or" the mines of Siberia, Rus- This bit jsia's protest will probably aronse Persian amusement tx. T.M-tnririff in Boston the other day, Lincoln Steffens, muck-raker by oc cupation .replied to an interruption as to what practical remedy for cor ruption he proposed, by saying. "What I propose is simple but radi cal srood oohtics. We have . o r t favored the direct primary law, it has easjiy get it back." So simple indeed! not been inclined to throw fits about at, If the professional muck-raker and for the administration of the best .idealistic reformers would come down possible direct primary law will havejfr0m the clouds and deal in specific serious difficulties, and we have the j things they might be of service. But impression that the present law is a i then their occupation would be gone. pretty oaa one. iw ut ex. tion of the multitude of local elected officials in this and other large cities wil be a farce. It is quite likely to get us a worse lot of Supervisors than any convention except a Ruef convention would dare to name We hope it will not. The "Chron icle" will do its best to prevent it But nobody need be surprised to see it. The "compromise" about the Senatorship vote is absurd. Some of the features of the law are probably unconstitutional. : Others will Iprob ably be found unworkable to any good purpose. But we have a direct primary law which it is not likely will ever be replaced. At the elections of this and next year it will have a good trial, and two years from now the people will be able to change what they find amiss. S. F. Chron-icle. BOSTON'. Mas, March 27. Not since Jane Toppan was convicted more than - decade ago ot tne wnoie- sale poisoning of her friends and re latives has this section of New hug land been so stirred over n poison mystery as it has been this week by the development in the case of Mrs. Mary Kcllcrhcr. the Somervilte wo man who has been indicted on the charge of murdering four members of her family. As in the case of the Toppan woman Mrs. Kellerhcr is al leged to have killed her victims by administering arsenic in their food. The persons alleged to have been killed by Mrs. Kelleher are: Annie T. Kelleher. aged 31, a sister of Mrs. Kelleher" husband, who died March 1. 1906; Mary Kelleher, 3 years old, daughter of Mrs. Kelleher, who died Nov. 12, 1906; William Kelleher, 10 years old. son of Mrs. Kelleher, who died Jan. 14, 1908 and Katherine M- Kelelrhcr, 12 years old, eldest cmid of Mrs. Kelleher, who died Ju'y li. 1908. The case of Mrs. Kelleher first came under public notice last Decem ber when she was arrested on a charge of setting fire to the house of Prof. A. T. Lowell ot Harvard, oy whom she was employed as a domes tic . Th hodies of the four persons who are alleged to have been victims of poison were buried in an Arlington cemetery, and remained there untti after suspicion was aroused oy ur. (. W. White of Somerville, who cal led the attention of the police to the successive deaths m the Kelleher hn;h(ilil. An investigation was or dered and the bodies were disintered. Traces of arsonic are said to have been found in all of the bodies. The police also found that life insurance had been paid to Mrs. Kelleher atter the death of each member of the family- . . It is understood that the case ot the State is based on the claim that fr KVIIrher was the person who had exclusive opportunity to admin ister the poison, and that she was the only person to benefit in a pecuniary sense from the death of those who died- It, is the claim of the police that rlnrins the brief illness of each one Mrs. Kelleher employed no nurse and had only occasional assistance from friends and neighbors. Since her confinement in jail Mrs. Kelleher has been under observation for the purpose of determining her mental capacity. Before the inquiry into the supposed homicides was started two physicians were appoint- n tn studv Mrs. Kelleher. lhey have had a number of interviews with her, but she has baffled them by her (tpvterous wit. Reports of the activity of the po lice in the investigation of the deatns of her children came to Mrs. Kelle her' ears about two months ago. The prisoner is said to have become i verv nervous and excited, l ne pny sicians who had been observing ncr noted so serious a nervous weaken inr that thev advised the sheriff to t give her employment in the sewing room. If she were not employed the doctors said a collapse was inevitable. But despite repeated questioning the woman had made no admissions as to the deaths of her children. STATE LAWS TO IP CONTROL 0PI1 NEW YORK MAN THINKS THE FEDERAL STATUTES NOT ENOUGH. FW YORK. March 29-While prominent druggists look with p- proval upon the regulation ot tne Trerasury Department enforcing the recent act of Congress prohibiting the importation of opium or opium mixtures except for medical purposes, Clarence O. Bigelovr, chairman of thi State Board of Pharmacy ts of the opinion that the federal act will not be effective unless it is supplemented by state laws. 1?niter the nresent UW in MIS state, he satd, the only regulation that the druggist shall record the name of the person to whom he sells drugs containing more than two grains of morphine to the ounce and that he label the package. 'Toison." Xo prescription, he says, is required. "Cocaine," he said, 'cannot be sold except on prescription and violation of the law is a fdony. 'T h-lieve the morphine habit is growing but not as fast as the popula Most of the neotile who use the drug use it in the form of mor phine tablets which are dissolved in water and injected hypodermically. They nscd to drink laudanum, but morphine has replaced it because it is more portable and effective." WASHINGTON.

PROVEN! Attorney at Moline, III, Convinced by Oil of Wintergreen Compound. There is nothing that will convince a lawyer except evidence. Now, here is some rather startling evidence of a simple home cure for eczema which convinced one lawyer, F. C Entriken, attorney at Moline, 111. He tells how oil of wintergreen compound mixed with thymol and glycerine, as in D- D. D Prescription, cured him in 30 days after 32 years of suffering. "For 32 years," writes Attorney Entriken, ''I was troubled with ecze ma, scabs all over my face, body and head. I could run a hair brush over my body and the floor would be cov ered with scales enough to fill a basket. I tried everything salves, internal medicinal, X-Ray -all with out result." "Just a month ago 1 was induced to try D. D. D. Prescription. The itch was relieved instantly; so I con tinued. It is just a month now and I am completely cured.' I have not a particle of itch and the scales have dropped off." "I can only ay again CURK DISCOVERED- I am now starting all eczema sufferers on the right track." Cure after cure lias been brought to our attention and always that in stant relief from the awful itch. n,...!,, P.nrrt Ht in ir,,lj WASHINGTON, March 29.
