INTEREST IN THE ENACTMENT
8HOW8 AN INCREASE.
AVERAGE IS 41 PER CENT
iome Figures Covering Various Years
Since Measure Has Been
Effective.
Slneo tho flrat primary law -was
pa6sod In Nebraska in 1907 tho vote
cast nt tho primaries has averaged
41 per coot of. tho voto cast at tho
succeeding gcnoral election. Tho off
yoar primary has attracted an oven
greater percentage of voters to the
primary election than havo tho years
whon eovornors and tho president
woro olootod. The total number of
votes cast at tho No .ombor election
in off years is only 80 rer cent of tho
average voto cast oth'jr years, how
ever. In 1907, tho primary voto was 40
por cent of tho vote cant nt the fol
lowing Novembor election, in 1908, it
Avas 36 per cent in 1909, it was 45 per
cent and In 1910 it was 44 por cent.
Tho Interest taken in primary
elections has steadily increased sinco
the law was passed. The primary voto
-was 80,068 in 1907, 88,313 in 190S,
03,394 in 1909 and 10S.081 in 1910. In
the light of these figures it is prob
able that 90,00 votes will bo cast iu
the lato primary election.
The average voto cast in November
elections during tho Inst four years
sinco tho primary olection has been
in vogue. Btirring up personal Interest
in politics from four to six months,
in advance of the Novombor election,
has been 231,597. The largest voto
cast during tho quadrqpnlum was in
1908, when it rose to 2?1,491, and the
smallest In 1907. the llrst year tho
primary law waB in effect, when the
November election drow out only
203,934 votes
Nominations which have later re
sulted In elections havo been mado
with mntfh less than a majority of tho
party voto nt the primaries. Shallen
berger was nominated for governor in
1908 with 38 per cent of the demo
cratic vote cast Aldrlch was noml
sated in 1910 by slightly more than a
majority of all tho votes cast by his

of minority nominations may
bo found among the lesser state offi

The tremendous cleaning up of
frauds In tho customs service which
tho secretary has accomplished was
briefly sketched for the benefit of tho
committee. Most of these Instances
never becamo public. More than
$500,000 in fines and penalties was
collected from English woolen manu
facturers and American importers.
The Punama hat frauds were dis
covered through information given
Mr. MaoVoagh by Mnrshall Field &
Co. This firm Imported its first lot
of Panama hats n year und a half

Shortly afterward tho firm received

quiry to Peru brought tho information
that tho firm was to pay for the hats
on tho socond invoico, tho first being
for customs duty purposes solely, and
tho message added: "What every

Tho Chicago firm then presented
the second inxolco ut th o custom

Tho secretary said that hitherto
not only sugnr but every other kind
of morchandlso had been underweight

heavily defrauded right nnd left."
"There was a tremondous amount

AMPELOPSIS FPR THE CITY
Hardy Vine That Clings Closely to
Walla and Thrives Under Ad
verse Conditions.
Tho Ampclopsls la ono of tho most
usoful hardy vines. Whnt great Im
provement might cnslly bo wrought In
nppoaranco and valuo not only in city
houses, but thoso of suburban towns
and country districts as well, with
n few of these plants to sotton the
hard angles and break up tho flatness
that so often prevails.
Tho best plant, and the ono moat
generally used for this purposo, is
Ampclopsls Vcitchll, tho well-known
Boston or Jnpnncso Ivy.
Among tho chief features in favor
of this plant, it clings closely to tho
wall or other support by menns of
Its disk bearing tendrils, requiring
considerable forco to tear it away,
thus no straggling vines nre seen
hanging down or baro places on tho
wall onco the AmpelopBls has grown
ovor it.
Dust, Binoko and other conditions
Incidental to cities so disastrous to
plant llfo have little effect on tho
growth of this plant.
It Is beautiful at nil seasons, tho
bright green foliage of early spring
changing to dnrk grcon during the
summer nnd ugnin to tho lively fall
lints of red and orange. Even the del
icate tracery of its leafless stems In
winter is attractive.
Ampolopsls Vlrglnioa or qulnquafo
11a with large "flvo-fingcrcd" leaves
more suitable for growing on fences,
garden walls, posts or masonry en
trances to drives, walks, etc., than on
buildings, owing to its looso habit of
growth. There are many different
forma of this native vine, all are beau
tiful, especially in autumn, when the
effect of the brilliant foliage la glor
ious. Pot-grown plants are most useful
for planting, especially in the small
spaces usually found abont city hous
es. Ampolopsls does not requlro par
ticularly good soil, and will thrive un
der adverso conditions, such as in the
dry soil generally prevailing closo to
the house wall.
Before planting remove at least n
cubiQifoot of the old soil andreplace
with good loam. A well grown pot'
plant when knocked out of the pot
will havo a network of fibrous roots,
covering the outsido of the ball of
earth. Loosen up these roots at the
bottom, before planting, as they will
grow out Into tho fresh soil more rap
idly than it left mntted together.
After planting, water thoroughly
and as often as required until the
plant becomes established in its now
quartors.
The cost and care of thoso plants
is trifling compared with tho Improve
ment obtained In the appearance of
the home, whether in tbo city or coun
try. GROWTH OF PARIS IS SLOW
Its Gain Is Steady, However, and
Berlin Alone Disputes Third
Place With It.
Tho French census takon last
month shows that the Incrcaso in tho
population of Pnris In the last flvo
years has been 83,593. In ten years,
at the samo rate, the growth would be
about 12,000 less than the gain la
Cleveland in the iaBt decade. As a
matter of fact, the increase in Paris
from 1301 to 1911 was only 132.918,
tbo gain in the last half of tho decadi
having been decidedly larger thai
the growth of the first five years.
This Increase Is very small, for bo
great a city. In the ten yours from
1901 to 1911 the rate of growth has
beeu a little less than 5 por cent,
which falls far bolow the nverngo rate
of expansion in London, Berlin or SL
Petersburg, nut to speak of New
York, Chicago or Tokyo.
But tho gain In Paris has been
enough to show thnt tho French me
tropolis is not likely to come to a
standstill, and It Is ovidently ns pros
perous aa it has boon at any time.
Tho three million limit Is not far
away, for the new census shows 2,
846,986 residents, exclusive of several
Important suburbs.
This question of suburbs renders
somowhat doubtful tho nsrortlon that
Paris is still tho third city of tho
world. It is clear that tho French
capital has a wldo margin over Ber
lin, InBldo the limits of tho two great
cities, but it is not at all certain that
tho population of Oreator Paris, with
adjacent suburbs included, Is larger
than tho totnl for Greater Berlin, us
ing tho snme system of including con
tiguous suburbs.
Tokyo is growing much faster than
Paris and so is Chicago. Both prom
I bo to bo on tho heels of tho French
metropolis within ten years. But for
tho present Berlin is tho only city to
disputo the Parisian claim to tho
position among tho world'B great con
fers of population which comes Just
below London nnd New York.
Skeleton of Cat In Clock.
When a grandfather's clock at the
Ship hotel, 'Weybrldgo, Surrey, Eug

to contain the complete skeleton of a
cat. The animal must by somo means
have been shut la the clock, which has
not been opened for many years.
