We wish Editor Albright would print his
opinion of Senator Avis bill No 100, if he
is allowed to have an opinion, "that pro-
hibits the use of the voting machine at
elections, in boroughs, on the construction
or proposition to buy water works. y
Evidently Senator Avis thinks it unfair to
the people to vote yes" or emo" prcpo-
sition on a voting machine, yet perfectly
fair to vote for dozen candidates at the
general election. We fear Senator Avis
feels no restraint of decent consistency, or
he would not allow his name to be attach. d
to such legislation. The voting machine is
either fair or unfair at all elections and
should be used at all or none.

A statements in Tuesday morning papers
that prisoner, Charles Booth, readily
opened his cell door in Woodbury. Jail, is
true. but it is also true that when he did so
the door was only half locked. Booth is a

Prisoner Booth is entitled to the thanks
of the county for warning the jailer that

nwarfed by Specialization.

The manager of a New England
machine shop employing 600 hands
recently had occasion to engage a
new foreman for one department,
and he went outside and got his man.
The reason given was that among the
1870 men in that department he was
not able to select one who had the
all round knowledge required to
handle the shop.
A man in the shop mentioned above
recently said to me: i've drilled
just so many holes in just that one
part for forr years, and I've never
yet even seen the machine that part
goes into"

nearly 1000 machine too operatives

or not. Every man has got to stick
to his press and pay no attention to
anything else" In such shops the
men are not expected or even per-
mitted to aequaint themselves with
their machines sufficiently TO enable
them to make repairs or adjustments.
III anything goes wrong a man is sent

ator is laid OF until his machine is
