It provides a guide for those who must act, while they are acting, and prevents the possibility of the discovery after the appropriatiogs are all made that the iegislative body had gone far beyond all bounds or greatly exceeded what might be Tea- sonably expected in the way of rev- enue to meet its action. Putting through appropriations is a very easy matter so long as there is little or no idea of how the financ¥ stand, but with the publicity which is afforded by the budget system before action becomes necessary, that lax situation is effectively obviated. The more extensive the operation of the budget system the better safety valve does it become, PROMISING OUTLOOK. Arthur T, Hadley, president o Yale university and a director of the New Haven road, spoke from the position of a partial insider when lhe gave his views on the latter at Springfield, though his connection with the sys- tem has covered only a short period of time. As a railroad authority, however, he is eminently qualified to analyze the conditions surrounding the road’s troubles and he did it in a con: cise and interesting manner. He didn't spare the interstate commerce act, cer- tain state legislation or the unfair treatment Dy the government from sharing in the responsibilities. To have increased rates made impossible when every other line of business was making readjustments and to be pre- vented from getting just returns for services rendered must have all had its effect upon the road’'s finances but he struck the nail on the head when he attributed the trouble to unwise finance with a great deal of unwise operation and unwise politics. It was a hard combination from which to ex- pect success. Despite the meriod of revelations, suits and changes, the future of the road is promising. It iS under a new administration and a new policy. It is profiting from some costly expe- rience in the past and as fast as the country and New gland recover from the business depresslon it is bound to be reflected in the New Ha- ven road. Mr. Hadley considers the outlook hopeful for the road and the disposition of the outside holdings even better than at first assumed, and there seems to be no reason for view- jing it otherwise. The remedy for over- coming its t trouble has been and is being well applied, A TEST CASE. a part of its program Great Bri- tain as effectively tied up (German commerce.

GREAT- GRANDFATHER’S QUILT “No, I won’t, that's final, Aunt Mar- tha. That old quilt is a perfect sight. 1 wouldn’t even thimk of putting it on the old bed up in the attic, let glone putting it in the new guest chamber. I don't believe in being superstitious, and I should think you'd be ashamed to have a niece who was such a poor housekeeper. Even Ned would think it strange if I should put that old pink silk quilt in the best room in the house.” Pretty Mrs. Sinclair's eves were full of tears. The white-haired old Jady in_ the rocking chair opposite, paused for a moment in her knitting to say with something like a sigh: “It belonged to your great-grandfather, dearie, and handed down thréugh the family. It was always considered good luck to be the possessor of that old silk quilt. There was quite a story at- tached to it once. You know your great-grandfather had nearly $50,000 or more when he died. It was never found, although a seach was made. Some sald that your great-grand- father had sewed it in this quilt. Noth- ing was ever found, however, and the quilt descended to your grandmother, who was my mother, When she died your mother as the oldest, received the quilt and she gave it to you. Tt is only a superstitious belief, yet I like to believe in it, because my mother did before me.” “I don’t know, auntie,” said her niece, remorsefully. “I'll put it in the guest chamber, With a little patching it will look all right. For nearly a century that old quilt has been in the ‘Sinclair's possession and I shan't be the one to discard it.” “I'm so glad, dear,” said her aunt, “for though it's nothing but a super- stition, I like to see it around.” “You shall, Aunt Martha,” said her pretty niece impulsively. “T'll put it in the pink room this very minute,” and she hurried off to fulfill her promise. It was a month later, and Mrs, Si clair was busy with her embroidery FAMOUS TRIALS TRIAL OF CALLENDER. The freedom of the pressin América is now a foregone conclusion and one can hardly realize that only a little than one hundred years ago a re- kable trial was in progession to ing this about. James T. Cailender the editor of the Richmond Bx- er. His scurrilous biting pea was s at the service of the highest bidder. Under the provisions of the odious sedition act, anyone who wrote, print- ed, uttered or nublished any false, ndalous, or malicious _ matter inst_the Government, the Congress, or the President of the United States, or which tended to bring them into hatred or contempt, could be punished by heavy fines or imprisonment. The sensitive, crochety mnature of Presi- dent Adams had doubtless been stung by the lampoons, and it is easy, there- fore, to see why the case involved so much interest. = The sedition law had been invoked by Callender in the pub- lication of his libelous pamphlet “The Prospect Before The judge who proposed to try the e was Samuel Obase, one of the ners of the Declaration of Independ- ho had earned a reputation as puznacious lawyer and _politician ought quarrels and delighted: in Therefore, none doubted him when he descended into Richmond, Va, with a copy of the pamphlet in his hand and vowed to punish its au- thor, nor did anyone doubt the story that he had instructed the marshal to see that “none of those creatures call- ed Democrits” were to be on_ the Grand Jury. At the - United States Circuit Court at Richmond, the pris- oner, 1 an. Meriwether J Hay, array in of Richmond were well formed an to trust A large their dignity and audience gathered to - ed. Yes,” they said. “Judicial tyrant might bully and awe the Pennsylvania Maryland Bar, but the profession of Virginia knew a thing or two which would—" Like a schoolmaster room after an absence the bustle and chatter halted as the much-talked of judge strode firmly to the bench. The ceeding was opened by Mr. Hay's a for an adjournment on account of the absence of a witness, which was not granted. Then he asserted that there was a douut as to whether the vamphlet contained libelous state- ments or merely matters of opinion. But he was not to proceed. His honor did not propose to listen to any arguments concerning the constitu- tionality of the law, and that if the entering the of war are showing a strong tendency jcounsel imagined that the court was going to grant adjournments just to wait for a missing witnes, the counsel was mistaken. Let the jury be im- paneled at once! Then the junior counsel, Mr. Nich- olas, proposed examining the panel of jurors, consisting only of eight mem- bers but he was flouted and overruled and finally routed altogether. Then the senior .counsel, Mr. Hay, pro- posed examining the jurors individ- ually, but before he could frame the opening question he was roughly in- terrupted from the bench. Only cer- tain parts of the pamphlet had been recited in the indictment, and these were very mild reading. But, never- theless, they were clearly within the provisions of the seditton act and proof of the authorship was all that was needed to complete the case for the prosecutor. Chase proposed to establish this by the testimony of the printers and publishers of the book. These men could not be compelled to answer the questions. Hay insisted, and it was in vain that he protested against the injurious and illogical ac- tion. But again he was _interrupted, contradicted, baited and bullied until the whole court roared with infectious laughter. Wirt then began to address the jury and to endeavor to take advantage of the prejudice against the sedition law, but as soon as he began to argue against the unconstitutionality of the act. he was abruptly halted and si- lenced. He plied with a repitition of the statement in another form. With a howl of rage Chase ordered him to his seat and forbade the discussion of the act. It was now the baiter that was baited and the judge was in a frenzy of rage. Wirt once more turned to the jury and quoting the sedition act, calmly proceeded to discuss the forbidden subfect. Finally bowled down by Chase, the junior counsel took up the same line of argument umtil virtu- ally smothered with contradictions end inferruptions from the bench. Then the senfor, Hay, continued the attack, and when insuited, flatly contradicted and interrupted at every turn, brought the unseemly contest to a terse ciose b:fi'flwfln‘ un his papers. en the judge, almost blind with rage, saw what was happening, real- i1 thet perhaps he had carried the matter too far, he addressed counel with surprising deference: ‘Pleass to proceed, sir, and be assured that'you will not again be interrupied by me.’ After two hours a vrdict of ‘gullty” was recordad, and the ner sen- tenced to nine months’ prisonment, a fine of $200 and required to find sureties for good behavior for the msmiad of two years that her aunt entered the living room with her cloak over her arm. “I think I'll go over to Jennie Bail- ey’s this afternoon; she's expecting me,” she told her niece. “T'll be hothe by supper time,” she added. “All right, Aunt Martha; Tom after you.” Two hours later Ned Sinclair stum- bled into the room. His wife knew by his white face that something had happened. “What is it, Ned? What has hap- pened?” she questioned. “The bank”—he spoke with difficul- ty—the bank has failed and we are pennilese!™ Constance Sinclair turned pale, but quickly recovering herself she tried to console her husband. “Never mind, Ned; don't worry. ‘We'll get along somehow.” ‘“How, Connle, how?” “T've got a few hundreds in my own name, you know, dear. That will last us a little Avhile.” “If we only had more5” sighed her husband, “we could start over again: but as it is 1 don’t see my way clear to making a living.” The door opened and Aunt Martha entered. Something in her niece's face attracted her attention. “What is the matter, Connie? Why are yvou s0 pale?” she asked. “If's the bank, Aunt Martha; bark has failed.” “Is everything saved?” “Yes; aunt, everything went at one swoop, but we’ll get along somehow Connie thinks so, and I am sure we will.” Two months passed, and the Sin- clair's small savings were nearly gone. Ned had been unable to find steady employment and was nearly discour- aged. There had been one offer ,but that had required money, and Sinclair had been unable to supply that. “If T had ,000 or $30,000,” he told Constance, would be the chance of my life. Howe needs a man with capital. It would mean an income of $50,000 a vear for us. I never needed money so much as I do now.” Perhaps somethine will turn sugested his wife, hopefully- But something did not turn up and matters went from bad to worse. Long before Aunt Martha had turned her own private funds into the family purse. The end of the week wound them with just $5 left. They had dismissed all of the servants and Mrs. Sinclair did her own work. On the last Saturday of the month Constance was cleaning the house. Going into the guest chamber she be- gan rsweeping, but exhausted with her day’s work she threw herself upon the bed and burst into tears. “Oh, dear,” she sobbed, “it’s so hard we can’'t get along this way much longer and Ned hasn’'t found work vet I don’t know what will happen to u. In the centre of the old silk quilt was a large silk heart. In moving about one of Mrs. Sinclair's hands rested on something hard, and looking down she saw that a side of the heart had become ripped oven and a packet of papers had fallen out. Her heart gave a wild bound as she Tl send the gone? Nothing up,” eagerly grasped them. Slipping off the elastic band she tore open the papers, and discovered bank notes to the amount of $50,000. With the notes in_her hand she ran down stairs. Excited and breathless she r hed into the room, where her husband and aunt sat. “See, she cried, “I've found them. Now vou can accept Howe's offer, Ned, and, oh, auntie, I'm sp glad I didn’t throw that old q de, for, see, has brought us luck!"—Boston Post.

B — ant village that has been founded in modern times. , “Village streets are crooked, nar- row and unpaved. The farmers' houses are crowded close together for protection. These houses consist ol one large room, usually square. About two-thirds of the space within is de- voted to a raised, masonry platform, some 8 to 10 feet above the ground, and this is the Kkitchen, store-room, bed-room and living-room of the fam- ily. Below this platform, the cattle and flocks are housed, goats and sheep, a few work cattle, and perhaps a don- key or camel. Fach village has a guest-chamber h is the social center for all the village men who love companionship and are grealt gossips. Each day, by turn, one of the villagers furnishes the coffee beans and sugar to be served to the men who gather at the guest-chamber. He, also, supplies the food and bedding if some ordinary guests come along. “They are, of course, great respec- ters of persons; so that if a common man happens in, a couple of fried eggs with bread and olives will do for If a more important personage rives, a pair of roast chickens is vided for his supver; but if a still more honored one or a _company of men appear, a lamb or kid is killed.

Only eleven of the thirteen states voted in this first election, North Carolina and Rhode Island not yet having entered the Union, and in only three of these states, Pennsylvania, Mary- land and Virginia, were popular electionsg held. In the other eight states the legislatures chose the electors. New York did not choose electors because of a fued between the anti-Federalist House and the Federalist Senate. One exciting na- tional incident in this first election was caused by the fear on the part of Alexander Hamilton that John Adams, who was on the ticket for Vice-President +with Washington, was plotting to tie the vote, and thus by throwing the election into the National House of Representa- tives, defeat the “Father of his Country,” for President. So real was this fear in Hamilton's breast that he disnatched messengers on horses to Virginia, Connecticut and New Jersey to stampede the legis- latures of the latter two states to ‘Washington. 8o long dig it take to gather news that Washington was actually inaugurated (President be- fore some of the remote counties in Virginia had sent in their returns. In this first election there was only one ticket and there was no cam- paigning. There were only abdout 8,000,000 inhabitants in the country at that time,, and the whole cost of setting up the machinery of this Presidential election is estimated at less than $100,000. a nd——NOW Today the Presidential elections o held under a completed flag. at is, every square mile of the Federal republ with the exception of the District of Columbia is now on the Presidential election map, casting a popular vote of over 16,000,000. It was not until 1828 that all ihe states with the excep- tion of South Carolina permitted the people to choose electors. South Carolina did not grant this popular right until she returned to the Union after the war. Not until 1843 diq all the States choose their clectors on the same day and that day was fixed as Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Thus a tremendous gain for popular inter- est in the election_and in govern- ment was scored. In 1848 the New Orleans Picayune posted the first election bulleting announcing the victory of General Taylor, and thes: first bulletins covered only a few big centers where the primitive telegraph then reached. On tbh night of November 6th, 191 45,000,000 people received the re turns of the elections by midnight. By 9 o'clock the next morning 90 per cent. of the people knew the name of the new President. The machinery to elect a President in 1912 cost the huge sum of $27,000,- 900 or $1.80 for every vote cast. %he election in New York City lone cost ten times more than the t national election. ey 1 out the injury mi Haven is printed b. which prise sh, some method of w Thaur., Fri., Sat. - Funny Comedians — PAU!
