The ~lective municipal offices from first to last will ba filled by democrat: It was a complete overturn politi- eally with slightly more than the usual amount of Interest manifested in a year when ther> was no contest for mavor, but only 104 more votes were cast than two vears ago, yet it was these votes together with thase of the electors who changed their inds in the past ysar who helped to roll up the democratic majority of 224. There was a falling off in the ballots cast for the republican eandi- dates and a decided main in those for democrats compared with twe years ago, and therein lies the whole story of Monday’s election. Sentiment has ehanzed even if the politics of the voters have not, and during the ceming vear in the court of common counei] there is already zood indiea- tions that thers wiil always he on hand those of one party to cheek up the doings of those of the other. The responsibility will rest between these representatives and the mayer as the dissolver of ties. There can be no question but what the administration which the city has received during the past year was on trial. Equally so there can be no question but what the administration has done many zood things, the credit of which cannct be denied it but taken as a whole it has not met with approval. The Voters and taxpavers have weighed it in the balance and a substantial _majority has declared against it. But regardless of the pol- itles of thoseelectod itis the hest in- terests of the city which is aimed at or should be aimed at in every elec- tion, and let us hope that such will result. ENCOURAGING MORE SHEEP. In spite of the failure of a numbs of the states in the east to recognize the preference for sheep over dogs, and to pass lezislation which would stimulate the sheep raising industry and endeavor to bring it back to the position which it held some years ago. a determined effort is being made to take care of the needs of the ceun try by other means. If the trouble- some dogs canhot be eliminated one way, it will have to be done in an- other, but in the meantime the neces- sity of raising more shcep throughout the east in particular, where there is plenty of opportunity and an exce! lent chance for good returns, has been recognized by the users of weol and the Philadelphia Wool and Textile as- sociation has proceeded to put into operation a scheme of its own with the idea of arousing interest in an in- which has seriously languished. association has procured an option on 10,000 sheep in Oregon and Idaho which are to be distributed through state departments of agri- culture to those who are willing to engage in sheep raisinz and to make such sheep the basis of a flock. The plan has met with not a littie appro- val. Already shipments have been made to Pennsylvania and Massachu- setts and another is on the way to or will be sent to Virginia. Thess states produce sheep of course for the wool and for the provision market. But they can do more and with such assistanee many who would not be interested under the existing dog menace to branch out Into such en- deavors by indulging in an Initial in- vestment are bound to take advantage of such an opportunity. It may not result in reviving the sheep raising Industry to the point where it was years ago, but it will help. It will mean eneouragement in the very direction where it s needed, 2nd while Connecticut has some large always been a proper response on asked from less than a tenth of the population, does not mean enlistment and does service. association is offering to 3ll who interested, and certainly this state must be classed 3s such. o 2 e ‘Ohi'c:-r!

After the members of the commission had been selected no time was lost in gotting away on thelr errand. Such of course was necessary in view of the econdi- tions which are prevaiiing in Russig following the revolution, and it is of course recegnized now that they can- not reach Prtrograd any too socon if they are geing to render the assist- ance and proffer the advice which the new government may be in need of. Russia._does not appear to overcomo one trouble before it is in the midst of more. It has not as yet gotten af- fairs down to a smooth working hasis. There is still an element which is run- ning eontrary to the coalition govern- ment. Thern is apparently a dispo- sition among some to mistake liberty for license, to consider that freedom means ne restraint and to interpret the change to democracy as meaning that discipline must be swept away and recognition need not be given to a central government. There is evi- dence of a lack of a balanee wheel in the present state of affairs in Rus- sia. Whether the American commission ean furnish the advice which will overcome these troubles and which wi)l bring about stability remains to be seen. It all depends upon the re- ception which is given them and the way in which their werds of advice and suggestions are taken. It must be understood of eourse that this commission has not gone to Petrograd for the purpose of telling the Russian people how they must conduct thelr affairs. Far from it. The commission goes as men of high standing in their respective lines to zive such sugzes- tions as may be asked of them, as men of expericnce in the very things which Russia is seeking to gain, and if they are disposed to abide by the counsel which will he given when sought. Rus- sia should profft and it should stick as one of the important members of the entente. | STORIES OF THE WAR- || The Plight of France. Arriving by the steamship “Tour- aine” from Bordeaux on May 24th, Dr. Ernest W. Bysshe of the American Methodist Mission in #rance is full of sympathy for that country. His report of conditions there is in many respects a sad one. His mission has been doing relief work in Southern France, maintain- ing several foyers or cub rooms for soldiers, and five workrcoms for wo- men. Iie has seen the stream of re- fugees from the occupied sections of Francé that Germany is distributing through the country at the rate of several thousand a week. These, for the most part women or old men, the Germans cannot feed. and so, retain- ing all_boys above the age of four teen. they are shipping off the un- availables who would require more food than they desire to give. The Germans are trying to get the exiles to give up their French money, but instead they obstinately bury, or hide it. They are permitted to carry with them only 100 franes in bank notes for each adult and 30 francs for each child, with as much of the depreciated biils as they have. But even then the persecutors try to cheat the refugees of this little amount. Trench bank notes are worth at pres- ent one-third more than their face value. The Germans ask for the money in enveiopes to keep as‘far as the frontier, and then they return the envelopes, after having exchanged the notes for depreciated pap In this way they have accumuiated possibly a | million francs, stolen from these! widow’s mites. | When the refusees they are almost penniless and hav neither trade nor friends. It is then that so many women, who would die otherwise, come to some such charity as the Methodist work rooms and bes for enough to keep hody and soul to- gethor. This mission obtains mend- ing and other sewing from the hospi- tale, hires the refugees to do it, ané gives the compieted work to the hos pitals. Dr. Bysshe feels strongly about the attempts of the Germans to ruin France completely. Where the in- vader's horse has stepped the grass never grows again. The crops of the country are wholly inadequate in any case this year, as the farmers have cone into the infantry; and the neh government js facing am entire reorganization of its agricultural sy: tem. The entrance of =o many refu- gees from the north, moreover, in- creased the demand for food. = The German_army is also attempting a moral degradation of the women of France, making life much easicr for the complacent woman and essaying by insidious persecution the corrup- tion of others. But, notwithstanding the genral looseness of morals in war time as well as the efforts of the in- vaders, the moral situation in France, reports Dr. Bysshe is_much hetter than one would expect. But altogether the sad fact remains that France i being bled white (as the French phrase runs) by the war, and the evi- reach France, EDITORIAL NOTES.

The general public, which has ac- cepted the work of Hemhert Hoover in Ieigium as evidence of his ability to ope with the less acute but no less important sitvation here, has not quite grasped the nature of the opposition to i him, which ih evident from the reports going out from Washington. The crit- m that he is 2 man newly risen in- to prominence has had no weight with the man in the strest, who knows much less of many peeple who have been longer in the public eye. And in the absence of any person more con- spicuously qualified, criticism of Mr, Hoov experience falls flat. Three ears of fecding a nation during war me is at jeast three years more than anvbody else in America has had. public_has been disposed to credit the oppos#tion which oceaslonally - shows itsclf to politica] uneasiness, or to that kind of ineptitude which deliberate bodies can be counted on to provide in any crisis. Just about so much fumbling is to be expected anyway, argues the man in ihe strect, and goes on accepting Hoover as the sole authority on food conditions. Opposition te a food controllership on democratic grounds would be bet- ter understood, but the truth is that Mr. Hoaver's opposers dare not make very much of that, because his whole conception of Food Administration is a much mere democratic thing that the rezime which his detractors advocate. At first the idea of a new department of Food Administration fonnd favor. Tt meant, among other thing: the creation of seme eight or ten thousand salaried departmental jobs, which mecant a handsome increase of political patronage. It meant also that people holding such positions would probably | be unwilling to surrender them at the close of the war, and might invoive the establishment of a permanent de- partment with possibly a Cabinet port- folio for its head. But presently it developed that Her- bert Clark Floover was not at all the sort of man under whom such a bu- reaucratic arrangament could prosper. Mr. Hoover's method is much simpler, uch more the method of every-day affairs. His experience in Furope has made him distrustful of departmental clerks in positions of great public re- sponsibility. Therefore he cut the sround under all hopes of a Bureau of Food Administration by stipulating that neither he nor associates . if known at all, that Mr. Hoover has conducted the ole Belgian Rellef on that basis. her he nor his staff has received any remuneration. Mr. Hoover even paid_the rent of the house oecupied by the €. R. B. in Brussals out of his own pocket rather than divert anv of the Relief funds to that use. This, of course, appiled only to administrative work. Stenographers and clerks re- ceived their customary wages, but even these were often paid for out of the private means of the people who em- ploved tham. Naturally an administrative staff made up in this wav would not have ny room for poiiticians and their henchmen. And this, conselously or not, is the source of much of the criti- cism of Hoover's plan which is heard at Washinzton. BET $50 THAT AUTOCRACY WON’T WIN.

Co-operation in gardening ean reach from the extremec of complete com- munity effort, such as is now being practiced in a number of suburban towns, down to the co-operative pur- chase of tools, fertilizers or the hiring of an instructor. Perhaps the sreatest henefit to bn gained from co-operative gardening is that of cxpert instruction. A group of gardeners in_the e neighborhood can form a club and with a small as- sessment have a fund largs enough to hire an expert gardener to visit their plots onece a week or so and tel] them what mistakes they are making. Garden toois of the labor-saving sort can also be profitably purchased by garden ciubs. Such tools are wheel hoes or spray pumps. In a small tract it does net pay for a gardener to buy expensive Ilabor-savinz tools. DPut a wheel hoe for instanece will cultivate a garden on a small fraction of the time of hand hoeing, and thus one will do_for a number of gardeners. ‘When co-operation is attempted by a number of persons on an extended tract laber and time can be saved in hiring the preliminary plowing and harrowing done. Completa community gardening is being attempted in several neighbor- hoods. In wealthier communities the members simply put up the money and hire all the work done from plowing to harvest.

Mr. Editor: Tt seems to me that so far the public has failed to zrasp the great danger to the country in the present milk situation. ~ With beef selling at $18 a hundred, and even ordinary cows at 314, it is evident that the ordinary dairyman will not trou- ble much longer to wring from the consumer a price that will make it possible to keep on in the dairy bus- Iness, but will sell his cows for a price as yet unheard of, and turn his atten- tion to some other line of work where e can make more and work no harder. As far as I can see the farmer will ba better off in every way. DBut how about the consumer? I fear he will wake up too late. I am reliably informed that tax lists show that in a single town there were in 1816 but sixteen heifers as com- pared with one hundred and ninety- six in the previous vear. The reason is easv to find. Dairving has been unprofitable for many vears. _ The present price of grain means bank- ruptey if it continues. Veal has been very high. Everyone is worrying over potatoes, onions and beans, but butter, cream, cheess, and milk may easily become scarce as potatoes were last winter. The milk dealer says he dares not g0 up on his price because the con- sumer will cut down on the quantity taken. Therefore the farmer has no alternative, for in many cases he can- pot continue much longer in a bus- Iness in which he is losing money. Yours, W. C. ROBINSON.
