Just how much need there is for better trolley accommodations at East Great Plain which will permit the proper handling of crowds and the carrying of patrons to and taking them from the gates of the fairground is revealed by every attraction in that big enclosure of the county agricul- tural society. The circus crowd is only one of the several large gather- ings there each year and what was true concerning that is but the repe- tition of what happens every fair time. ‘With the elimination of other avail- able grounds about the city which have been used for the large circus performances the fairground or other property in that section remain as the show grounds of the future. Such can reasonably be anticipated and preparations to supply the accommo- dations for the public should be forth- coming. The extension is one which has long been needed and is bound to be more ®#0 in the future. Bigger business in the trolley business {s promised in that direction and deserves the fullest consideration.. The building of the West Side line to Maplewood ceme- tery would provide the accommoda- tion desired by the falrground crowds through the use of the Salem turn- plke entrance, and at the same time render a service which cannot be over- looked much lenger, The knowiledge that adequate smervics could be ob- tained on the electrics to both points would mean much greater patronage throughout the year, whatever the oc- casion might be, It is an improve- ment which the public deserves and of which there is good reason for be- lleving that they will show the proper appreciation. A SCARECROW BILL. More in the nature of a scarecrow than anything else must be consid- ered the bill which has been intro- duced in congress by Congressman Britten of IDlinois which would make #t & punishable offense for a cabinet officer, a department head or clerk to lecture for pay, except hotel and traveling expenses, and prohibit mem- bers of either house of congress to lecture for pay while congress is in session. Buch is of course prompted by the manner in which the secretary of state has seen fit to leave the duties of his important office to his assistants while he bas been carrying out a lecture hedule for his personal profit, and he at the head of a department where- in his predecessors found it necessary to apply their closest attention for the best interests of the nation. The bill has probably reached its Itmit already and thus should serve its purpose asz a protest against the praciice which has called forth so much criticism. Such regulation, how- ever, can better be done in another and proper way. Where such offi- elals persist in subordinating the de- pertment dutles to private interests those te whem they are responsible must be looked to for the remedy. ‘Whether for pay or not every such government employe shouid realize that the business of the government cannot be shirked and that can be firmly and surely impressed upon them by those to whom they owe their position. Mr, Bryan is net alone re- sponsible for his inclination te the lecture circuit. While a sense of duty should guide the discouragement lies in other and higher hands. Possibly the scarecrow bill will do some good. HOW THE PRIMARY WORKS. ‘The statewide primary has been re- celving some acld tests during the past few weeks and as might be ex- pected there was no tetter place for comparison with the previous methods than in the state of Pennsyivania. Other states have shown that it does not eliminate the extensive use of money in the securing of nominations and it gives the poor man no compen- sating means of offsetting the money of a weakhy cempetitor, heweves much it wes or might be expected to, Whatever purity the primary was expected ts imstill inte politics, the Philadelphia Public Ledger declares “the disbursement of money for edi- torial puffs by the managers of the Pinchot-Lewis progressive committee; the large sums expended by Pinchot, the progressive camdidate for senator, saithough he had ne antagenist in the primary; the nauseating tale of bipar- tisan ady deals in West Philadel- mmw-mulfi- e b © | | i | cratic machine; the storles which are filtering in of intrigue, trickery, prodigal expenditures, alliance with| whiskey and anfi-whiskey factions,’ constitute a catalogue” of crimes; against decency and propriety, com- pared to which the old nominating conventions were enug and peaceful harbors. The statewide primary law requires complete reconstruction.” Such gives indication that while faith in the state primary may net be entirely lost, even though there are features of that Pennsylvania con- test which are repeated in almost ev- ery primary, there are about as many opportunities for improvement as when the primary was inaugurated. SAFETY OF SOUND NAVIGATION. Even though the official report of the conditions prevailing when the steamer Northiand went onto Bart- lett's reef has not been received, the accident in the Sound has brought to attention the need, which has been realized for some time by Sound line pilots, of better fog signalling equip- ment "on the Bartlett reef lightship. Until the circumstances which sur- round that grounding are learned it can have but littlé bearing upon the actual situation there except to call attention to the needs which havé been frequently pointed out. The steps which have been taken by Congressman O'Shaughnessy of Rhode Island requesting the secretary of commerce to make an investigation of the needs of the Bartlett reef sta- tion are timely. There is a large amount of shipping which passes that dangerous point and while it may be adequately equipped with light facili- ties unless it is prepared to render all ‘whose countenance betrayed intense horror and concern. “But—" she’ be- going to think on the subject, there's no use wasting The fact thet you are a woman and therefore ought to have supreme in- telligence concerning fairs, doesn’t signify that you know how to handle the concerns that own moving vans, does sulting your prowess, Ethel, to biscuit and the length of time to bake cake, but I am sure that it takes a man to handle these other affairs! “Very well,” beat the tomtom ana rin; cymbals to neighbors, but I with the nervé racking time we us- ually have!” Spoggs announced later that he had engaged the vans. for the things at 3 o'clock,” he told Mrs. Spoggs. from here to the south side that they are going to keep the things in the inefMcient way we've always Tm going to see to it o guzed deflantly at Mrs. Spogs, hthand interrupt compazy her hus ni - Spoges in disapprov- tones. “I wish you time over it. household af- morning feels fresh and bright instead of ha: ing a load of furniture dumped on you at dinner time when it's dark.” “Humph!” said Mrs. Spoggs. “And there is no need tearing up the house weeks ahead of time,” added her husband. “The packers will ar- rive with the vans—I especially ordered it that way.

There is too much at stake to ignore what is required in the interest of safety and it is far er that something should be done '::gre there is any more glaring cause for taking the necessary measures. SHEEP RAISING. For the purpose of stimulating a greater interest in that industry the wool men of the country are anxious that the government should do as much for them as it is doing for the development of other lines of produc- tion. This means in the first place the encouragement of more extensive sheep raising, a matter which has been frequently urged by individuals ‘ind organizations throughout the country for the utilization of land, an increase in the output of wool and mutton and the buflding up of an industry which would result to the benefit of the raiser and consumer, and the nation in general. There are numerous fine examples of the benefits of sheep raising, but the wool conference recommends the establishment of several sheep breed- ing farms under the care of the gov- ernment experts, probably one on the Pacific coast, one in the east, one in the central states and one in the south. It belleves it possible for the sheep breeding industry to be fostered in this way much the same as the horse breeding industry is now fostered by the government in this country and in Europe, and that the sheep breed- ing would interest a greater number, and be more profitable and contribute more directly to the general welfare of the country. Sheep ralsing is somethins to which the cast should devote mo ention It ha 1e detrimental features but none which cannot be overcome and sheep be given the place they deserve upon every farm. A statewide real- izatien of the possibilities which lie therein is sufficient to obtain them, EDITORIAL NOTES. Dead men have been voting in New York.

Ore of the old inhabitants remembered that a man named Daniel Clark had mysteriously disappeared some fifteen years before. Then another old inhab- itant recited how Clark was intimate with a man named Houseman and he was last seen in Houseman's com- pany, and an effort was made to find out what he knew about Clark's disap- pearance. After Houseman finally made a confession. The bones that had been dug up were not those of Clark but Houseman led them to the place where Clark was buried. said that he and Clark and Eugene Air'&m had been associated for some time Aram, who was educated and clever, directed the operations, and Clark and Houseman did the coarse work. After a successful robbery upon al- ened Houseman if he spoke of what he had seen.

Aram, at the trial, asked Houseman how he could be so positive swear that he saw him strike Clark, when he himself admitted that it was done at night, ter, when everybody knows the nights arc dark. To this Houseman answered that though night, yet the moon was then up, and that it was light enough to distinguish objects at a short distance, not very distinctly, and that he could see by the motion that he was striking Clark, though he could not perceive the weapon with which he struck him. The jury found Aram guilty. Aram’'s defense, court, is often printed as an unusual example of a paper of this kind, be- ing in much better language than often heard under criminal tions.

Mr. Editor: An auto owned by a business man of Bean HiH ran over the hub of my buggy. taking the nickel cap off and scratching the paint. It seems as though he might have had the courtesy to stop and help me huat for the cap dhat belonged on the hu but he didn't, even to apologize. As the auto came back of me, it was sim- ply carelessness on the part of the driver. If the buggy hub had been an ordinary wooden one instead of steel, it would have been crushed. If a few of_the autoists had their licenses takon away for such carelessness, it might teach a much needed lesson. MRS. CARLOS B. ECCLESTON. Norwich Town, June 10, 1914.
