OUR FARMERS.

The burning question with New
England dairymen is 20 what extent
they will be able to raise their own
feed for their herds. When a large
part of the milk or cream checks have
to go to the feed store for western
feeding stuffs, it is serious drain on
profits. Wherever alfalfa will grow
and do wellit furnishes large amount
of protein. But it has not been tried
to any large extent here. The expert
ments in Connecticut last year failed
chiefly from the unusually cold, wet
character of the season. Let US have
a trial of it this year all over New
England.

There are women who gossip from
thoughtlessness. They differ from
the malicious gossips only in the
length of their apprenticeship. They
are malicious gossips in embry o.
Thoughtlessness is of itself a crime,
the initialstep to every vice. Listen
ing to gossip ia quite as bad as repeat
ing it. 1t constitutes tolerance and
encouragement of vice. When the
gossip approaches with a sweet smile
and inquiries: ''Did So-and-so tell
you of the shocking way Miss Soand-
so behaved at" it is simple enough
TO say, "No, she did not; she knows
never listen to those things"
1t is a compliment of worth that
the gossips do not confide in you. It
is likewise a comfort. The woman
who gossips to you will gossip about
you. We have probably all been in
that unhappy predicament where
duty called us hence, yet We remained

THE SENATORIAL TICKET.

The campaign is nearing its end and
no sound reason has yet been given
why any Republican or independent
voter should scratch the Republican
Senatorial ticket. The genesis of
scratching is in a public grievance; but
there is no such grievance against John
Lane, E. FaxoH Bishop and ]. NJ. Dow
sett. They are honest, they are capa-
bic, they are faithful to the Constitu-
tion,'' which is the Thomas Jefferson
standard of fitness. Why should they
be deprived of Republican or independ-
ent votes?
Surely not because Cecil Brown was
refused a place on the ticket Assur-
edly net because he wants to spend the
costly time OF the people in digging
pitfalls for the Governor and the Re
publican SenatorsI Nor is it a reason
to defeat them that Mr.. Waller, good
man as he is, aspires to be Cecil
Browns colleague. If Mr. Waller is
elected it viii be on a platform which
declares war on the Governor and calls
for Investigations of his acts-at $1,000
per day. What the people want is a
peaceful. short and businesslike session
not guerrilla warfare on the Exec
utive such as the Lady Dog Legisla-
ture made four years ago. with fake
investigations to mark the fight of
time.
If Messrs. Lane. Bishop and Dow
sett We're incompetent or dishonest, the
Advertiser would not support them.
This paper is under no obligations to
them, for all of them have criticised
its course in this campaign with plain
words Nevertheless they are the sort
OF men who will save the Legislature
If it is to be saved at all and a vote
Tor them is one for good government.

THE PRESS AND CRIME.

There is more or less hysteria in the
LEGAL courts when, in the presence of a
crime, the press deals with the need
OF sternly curbing it or when, at the
trial of the case, the papers denounce
technical methods of acquittal. But it
is plain enough that when the public
interest centers OIL criminal proceed
ings, is the time to debate them, not
when the affair is long over and public
interest is divided between the Man
ehurian war and the Panama canal.
Strike when the iron is hot is as
good advice to the man with a causa
IS it is to the man with a hammer.

upon in San Francisco may be learned
in this extract from the Chronicle:
No defense was offered 20 Suffer Wy
man in the Police Court, obviously be-
cause none could be made except on
perjured testimony, and this it would
be bad management to expose at this
stage. He has been held for trial in
the Superior Court. There is not in
fact, any pretense of his innocence.
The only question raised is whether he
can escape States prison. To this end
all the energies of his lawyer are di-
rected, and every ioophole in the law
will be thoroughly tried out to see
whether it is big enough for ballot
suffer to crawl through. Quite a num-
Der of places which looked weak were
exploited before Judge Sloss and found
to be felon proof Now two more are
to be exploited before Judge Cook, the
one really relied upon-if there is actual
reliance on any-being that the primary
election law has been changed since
the enactment of that section of the
Penal Code which makes the penal
provisions of the election laws apply
to offenses committed ct primary cleo
lions.
Here such an item would bring on
contempt proceedings; there it points
the way to justice and courts have
nothing to say.

WEAK ENFORCEMENT or LAW.

/ The discharge of H. NJ. Dow by Dis
i trict MAGISTRATE Lindsay was re-
markabIe proceeding. Mr.. Dow had
converted bail money to his own use
and the Judge held that he had com
mftted no offence of which the public
prosecutor could take cognizance, the
bail money not belonging TO the gov
eminent but to the persons who had de-
| posited it with Mr.. Dow. They might
/ have a legal remedy but the govern
| ment had none.
The plea was like that which might
be made for clerk who had embez-
zIed a sum of money from the bank
where he was employed. The money
did not belong to the bank but to the
| depositors. They might prosecute, or
any one of them might who could prove
that his particular money had been
taken. But the bank had no right to
interfere.
Plainly the bail money diverted by
Mr.. Dow was government money. for
if Mr.. Dow had not returned it or had
died or otherwise disappeared without
replacing it, the government would
have been held responsible. Suit for
recovery would have been against the
government which put Mr. Dow IN
charge of the bail money and of which |
he was the paid agent
The point we wish especially to make
is that some of our Territorial courts |
and grand juries are still inclined to
treat embezzlement as an indiscretion
rather than as a crime. They need
more of the spirit of the Federal law
which pursues hoy 10000 miles for
stealing a damaged hat from mail
which had been refused at the post
Office. The reason why the Federal
power is so feared by law-breakers is
that it cannot be cajoled. People take
their chances with the Territorial
courts just because of decisions like
that in the Dow case. The Wray Tay-
lor affair is also in point. No clearer
case of embezzlement than his was ever
made out from the books; yet the grand
jury, preparing the way for his return,
refuses to indict. Why was VIM. H
Wright permitted to leave the Terri
tory and why, now that his where
abouts is known, is he not sent for?
Is it not due to a ieniency so mis-
taken as to almost be a promotion Of
crime? And is not a laxity. of moral
sentiment in the community to blame
for the indifference of many of the
courts? The scandals of half a cen
tury ought to teach us that the con-
donation of theft where restitution is
made and the weak sympathy which
helps a criminal 80 escape his just
deserts, are the strongest incentives
save personal greed to further misdo-
ing They do these things better in
England where the law is no respecter
Of persons; and as a result official or
private embezzlement there is almost
as rare an offence as murder. 1t would
be so here if the law did not 50 often
bend to every kind of political and
social influence and avail itself of any
and every pretext to promote Success
to Crime.

Washington correspondent said, on the
authority of the chairman of the River

that the River and Harbor bill would
be prepared between November sth and
the first week in December for presen- !
fation to Congress as soon as it con- I
venes. Are we doing anything towards

of November to dissuade the River and

and active politicians who will fight

a Scotch sailor from the town of

members of the faculties at Harvard

universities, for he had heard them

Ills principal hobby was denouncing
ms own countryman, Carlyle, whom

as sour on Carlyle as that great writer

sell or trade them in other countries.
Some do it for commercial reasons.
others from pure love of philately.
In strong contrast with these men
was the case of an able seaman who
had all irresistible desire to tran1n
when he came ashore. He had made
pedestrian tours through nearly all
the countries of Europe, parts of Aus
tral1a and the United States. He was
particularly proud of his pilgrimage
to Jerusalem on foot from Port Said
on the Red Sea. Whenever his money
gave out, he shipped again.

the crops grow while they go off for

harvest time they are back again to

A former skipper of the Alaskan
sealing schooner Polar Bear was also
something of an agriculturist. Six
months of the year he hunted seal in
Alaskan waters; the other six he de-
voted to his farm in Mendocino Coun-
ty, California. For years he carried
the same crew, and when the schooner
laid up in the little bay close to the
shippers farm, his sailors went ashore
with him to coax the early peas and
to hoe the shooting corn.
