HARTFORD REFUSES TO BAR
HURDY-G -GURDIES FROM STREETS

The board of aldermen of Hart
ford. Conn. promptly tabled a petit
tion of citizens asking for the sup
preston of the noisy street piano.
The Hartford Times offers this edi-
torial approval of the action:
It is, indeed. true that some of these
instruments are pretty poor musical
machines. 1t is true, too, that on Occa-
sion when they are playing right under
your window you wish they'd move on.
But, on the whole, they minister TO pub
lie pleasure in the busy city and afford
enjoyment 70 hundreds where they af-
ford offense to dozens. The fact that
many brOnZed sons of Italy earn an
honorable livelihood grinding out tunes
in the street is evidence OF the general
popularity of the hurdy-gurdy. The
troops of children who dance on the
sidewalk to the music OF the street
piano shows that the instrument makes
a direct appeal TO the Juvenile heart.
The average grown person stops TO
listen for a moment when the crank be-
gins 10 turn, and the expression of his
face doesn't usually indicate displeas-
ure.

How to Stop Vote Buying.

Two Originals" of an agreement
between astute Maryland county
chairmen are said to be in exist
cnce which amount to a joint CON
fession that funds were maintain
ed for the purpose of paying voters
to vote or to stay at home" All
this is supposed to have occurred on
the Eastern Shore, as very possibly
it did. At any rate this part of the
United States is properly horritied
over it.
Yet the Eastern Shore is not so
different from the rest Of Maryland,
or Maryland from West Virginia, or
.hVest Virginia from Pennsylvania.
Paying voters to vote or to stay at
horne" is no wild sensation in these
rparts. 1t ought certainly be no
shock to the good people of Mary
land, where the victory has gone as
a usual thing 10 the party with the
money and the organization to dis
1IrlDQIe II.
And it viii not stop because two
county chairmen have or have not
been caught with the proof written
down in their own hands. 1t will
stop only when the average voter is
willing 10 inform on the neighbor
who offers him money and the aver
age prosecuting attorney is willing
TO prosecute his fellow partyman
who leads in the corruption. 1t is
4 simple proposition. The proof is
easy TO get if the voters desire the
court 10 have it. and if it does go TO
the court an honest prosecutor will
find it not too hard to obtain con
Victions.
The issue III the Eastern Shore,
as everywhere else, rests with the
people of the Eastern Shore 1t
will he interesting to see what they
do with it.

ton from many prominent members
of Congress:
While the jamestown Exposition and

init suggestion. through your paper

That the United States Government
be urged 10 make an appropriation suf-
nciently large 10 purchase the original
site of the jamestown settlement and
20 reproduce there the colonial village
as IL was in its palmiest days
Whether this plan is feasible or
not neither the proponent nor the
Times Dispatch seems to know.
Neither does The Times know. But
this paper does know that there is
much inconsistency in holding an
exposition TO commemorate the first
settlement at jamestown and build
ing elaborate structures several
hours journey away from the site
of the settlement while the site it.
self is comparatively neglected. And
that is the view taken by the Con-
gressmen indicated.
Another consideration which
urges itself on the attention in this
connection is that the project seems
20 be always to have the National
Government buy and improve this
historic place. There is great rea-
son why the nation should be in
terested. But that does not imply
that the State of Virginia should
not be specially interested, as well.
The Times ventures 10 say-out of a
great interest in the jamestown iIX-
positiOn-that if the Old Dominion

ment to buy jamestown Island, with
view to improving it as its his
