In recent personal letter to the
Herald editor, DR.. H. Landon, of
Remington, Indiana, who has extern
sive property interests in this vicinity,
made the following observations ::
WAS the saloon banished from your
midst, what happy people you would
be. | have lived to see both sides of
this question, and know whereof |
speak. The handwriting is on the
wall. They have been weighed in the
balance and found wanting, and now
will soon be wiped out. -

The Palouse harvest is now we'll un-
der Roadway, the binders being busy
in every direction, and the combines
and threshers are now ready to go into
the field. The weather continues ex-
cellent for the growing crops, and the
grain will be of the best quality. The
straw is not exceptionally heavy. but
the heads are large and we'll filled, and
the grains plump and heavy. The
market is opening about ten cents per
bushel higher on ar average than last
year. Owing to the high price of the
grain not as much hay is being made
as is usual, so that the price of that
commodity will remain fairly high. In
the Walla Walla country. where
threshing has commenced. the grain is
turning out even better than had been
expected. and this will likely be the
result in this vicinity also.

AN ABSURD LAW.

The utter absurdity of the law that
has just become operative, requiring
the college, in common with other
state institutions, to remit funds that
come into its hands from whatever
source to the state treasurer, is shown
by the following expression from Pres.
Bryan;
"The college has arrived at time
when, in the department of mechanic
arts, it was about to do more or less
manufacturing. 1t needs the services
of skilled instructor in foundry work
although it might not use his services
directly in class work for more than
three hours per day. However. if it
could dispose of the product, it could
employ his services and entire time,
and make the department self-sustain-
ing. For example, several high
schools have desired to purchase turn
ing lathes for use in manual training.
and have wished the college to manu-
facture these lathes for them. Such
work makes splendid examples of in
structional work for the college stud
ent and at the same time puts the
work of that department on self-sus-
tanning basis. This is customary in
nearly all Eastern technical colleges.
to the great advantage of those depart
ments of instruction. 1t renders them
far more effective. and at the same
time relieves the taxpayer of the bur
den of taxation. This new law anC
the ruling thereon comes like a stroke
of paralysis upon the work of almost
every department of the college, anc
makes 1t a crime for any department
to be self-sustaining. The law wa,
evidently made by persons who were
pure theorists, and who had no knowl
edge whatever of the practical opera
ton of such an institution. 1t viii
be utterly useless for anyone hereafte,
to make gift for the support of tn,
college, as this will have to be turned
in to swell the states revenue TO,
purposes wholly different, and coulc
not be used for college purposes. "

with this policy that the secre-

Garfield has visited the forest

irrigation projects and has come
into the closest contact with the

by his administrative acts, and it
is certain that the information
which he has thus acquired will
be more accurate and Trustworthy

reaches cabinet officers through
members of congress whose views
are more than often biased by
political consideration and expe-

Every unprejudiced observer
Of the present administration
must regard with admiration the
marked change in administrative
methods which President Roose-
yelt has introduced. The presi-
dent is a firm believer in the ad-
vantages to be derived from per-
sonal observation and contact
with the people. He has, there
fore, urged the members of his
cabinet whenever possible to
leave their desks and go them
selves to the scenes of their re-
spective operations in order that
they might acquire a more prac-
tical knowledge of the affairs
with which they are called upon

1t is easy for one to confirm by
travelling across the continent
what the press of the country
asserts, that unqualified pros
perity reigns. The farmer, the
merchant, the stockraiser, the
manufacturer and the miner
all are prosperous, and labor in
all lines is better paid and in
greater demand than ever before
in the history of this country.
Men are sought everywhere for
jobs instead of having to go in
search OF work. A disgruntled
newspaper here and there occa-
sionally attemts weakened
kick for political effect, but that
doesn't alter the facts. So long
as the country and the people are
in this happy condition it is little
wonder that the citizens and
business men Of every part rise
en- masse and protest whenever
a change, political or otherwise,
is limited at. The American
people are not fools!

"A newspaper may boom a

of push and life. To him they
are thermometers measuring the

are the pulse which indicates the
healthy condition of the collec-
tive body Of the people; they tell
him whether or not the commun-
ity is up to the times in business
matters. "-EX.

thought how then he'd look across
the great gulf dark and drear,

call and in agony they'd caper,
he'd shout to them: Just

Where a county, city or town

In the late revision of the State
Commercial Association at which
the state was divided into 13
sections, Delta county was placed
in Section 2, comprised as fol-
lows: Montrose, Delta, Gunni-
son, San Miguel, Ouray and
Hinsdale counties, with 3. w.
Marsh of Montrose, director. 1t
will be remembered that at the
meeting of the association when
this division was arranged, the
Western Slope representatives
were up in arms because of
claimed neglect Of Western Slope
interests, and their noble stand
had the effect of getting recogni-
tion and a show for the expense
money demanded from this side.
While Denver has always had a
splendid lot of boosters, they
have naturally been for Denver
first, and would be all the time,
to the neglect Of the state, if
permitted. The call-down was
an especially appropriate one and
the west counties will get more

in the future.

THE REASON WHY.

1t is not difficult to find a reason
why the Public Service Corporation
refuses to ask for any more fran
chises. A law was passed by the
legislature last year limiting all
franchises to twenty years unless the
people vote to extend the time, and
then it cannot exceed forty years.
The Public Service hopes to haze this
law repealed, and Senator Robbins,
of Burlington county, has introduced
a bill with that end In view. In 9TH
er states the trolley companies are
satisfied to take franchises for limit
ed periods. But with the Public Ser
vice II is different They want it all.
They want to own the franchise for
ever and control each municipality
as long as the franchise exists.
The limited franchise law should
never be repealed. The Central Jer-
sey Traction Company is willing TO
accept a franchise for twenty years
The Public Service is no better than

This corporation, which defies the
public interest is seeking only It's own
gain, should be- fought TO the bitter
end. What is more, it should be
compelled to live up to its franchise
or the franchise should be revoked.
Other companies would be glad to get
it and, as soon as its bluff is called,
the monopoly must give in.
South Amboy is face to face with
the question of who is running the
borough. The people OF the town,
through their common council, de-
cided that they wanted another troll
ley line to run from Keyport, across
the borough to Sayreville township.
But the officials of the Public Ser
vice Corporation, in their luxurious
offices in Newark, decide that South
Amboy does not want this proposed
trolley line. Accordingly, action
has been taken to prevent it, Who
is the proper party to decide this
matter?
South Amboys honor is at stake.
