The hum of the spinning wheel il
still q familiar sound on Block island, a
quaint and interesting resort in summer
and q miniature world in winter, in
which the habits and customs are those
OF $50 years ago. The island is Is miles
on the Rhode Island shore and almost
directly south Of stormy Point Judith.
There are times during the winter
when the wind sweeps across the tree
less land at q velocity Of 81 miles an
hour, and women take their lives in
their hands when they venture out of
doors. The isolation of the island is al
most complete.
John Schofield established the first
wooden mill in Connecticut near Oak
dale, where the carding was done BY
power cards. In 1898 the Block island
ers began to send wool to the mill to be
carded into rolls, and generation after
generation have kept up the practice.
Formerly many bags Of grain accompa-
MED the wool, and grist and wooden
mills were kept running day and night,
while the fishermen and farmers enjoy
ed themselves in the quiet Connecticut
village until the work was done.-New

General Williams was to be the judge

Mr.. Simon began to put the motion
He may have uttered three word;
when Carey jumped to the front OF
the stage and declared he did not pro
pose to have Simon arrogate to him
self the craftsmanship and the privi
lege of putting and passing on motions
Again the hall was turned into q
bedlam. High above the din could be
heard the blows of Simon's beer mallet
resounding from the pine table, but
the gavel utterly failed of effect
Another fight on the stage was i'm
minent, and then oil was pourd on the
waters by Mr.. Allen moving, in the
interest of peace and harmony, that
an adjournment be taken for an hour
during which some sort of conference
might be held. Before action could
be taken someone shouted, "Tanner.'
Without further invitation Judge
Tanner took the floor, but was in
formed by Mr.. Simon that he had no
right to speak. The anti-Simonites
were of the lustier lung, however, and
drowned both Simon's voice and gavel,
and Tanner had his say, which was
that General Williams be made
temporary chairman without power to
act as to the credentials of delegates.
Carey called for the ayes and noes
on the motion. "Aye" howled the
anti-Simon faction. "No" came the
lesser volume for the taxpayers.
Judge Carey opened his mouth to
announce the vote. He didn't get
there. With a thunderous smash Of
the beer mallet Joe Simon shouted.

MIR SIMON AND HIS LAW.

Jr. Simon worked the primaries al
Portland for his masters Scott, Cor
bett and Failing this year just as ne
has always done for twenty years.
Corbett and Failing with Scott own
the only daily newspaper there, and
Of course 1t upholds Simon's work.
That paper charges all the corruption
of the primaries upon the Frank
uume-Minto faction AS matter OF
fact Simon, with the money OF the
bankers at Portland, has done this
year at the primaries just what ne
has always done, only he has met with
more opposition. He has met with
the opposition of men who have here
tofore fought with him and who un-
derstood his method. Simon this
year conducted the primaries under
his own law Cenated in 1917 For
some reason he has never employed
his city primary law before at gen.
eral election. But this year he
wanted TO make assurance doubly
sure. and 50 he set his law in motion.
He has the right under that law to
appoint all the judges and clerks, des-
ignate the hours and places OF hold
ing primary election, the ballots are
not required to be preserved, the lists
certified by his officers are final, and
they can throw out any ballots they
please. No state has such a law. He
violates the state law In having only
eleven polling places for $4,000 voting
population, when there should be one
voting place for each 250 voters. It's
physical impossibility for the Re-
publlcans OF Portland TO vote at their
own primary II they wanted TO. This
is Simon. III he was once whipped In
the Republican party the very men
who have taken his favors and secret.
ly been his tools, would spit on him.
Such is politics and the way Of the
world. But such is the reward Of
selfish and corrupt men when they
come TO their just dues.
