PISS TIE rcARREN Bill.

The McCarren bill has passed the Senate,
and the Assembly should not fail to make it
law before the session closes If il does fail
10 do that il viii have to accept the RESPONSE
bilty for defeating legislation of exceptional
merit for which there is an almost unanimous
demand among the press end the people. ire
spective Of party. Under Speaker Wadsworth
the Assembly has made good record for pub
lie spirited legislation, which il should not mar
BY a failure TO enact this measure.
Further legislation for the government Of
party procedure has been shown to he necessary
by the scandals connected with the last two
Democratic state conventions. II is absurd that
New York should throw elaborate safeguards
about the primaries. that il should spend large
sums on their mana agement-S230.o90 in New
York City and probably S15o000 in the rest of
the state-and then permit irresponsible
person or organization 10 ignore or invalidate
the primary results. Why hold the primaries at
all If Mr. Murphy and Mr.. Conners can throw
ont Of a convention the legally chosen represent
atives Of the party electors? Why take such
ella borate precautions ahOut the election of per
sons whose right to their seats depends after all,
not on their election but upon the nod of some
boss Why make it a crime To attempt 10
vitiate the result Of primary election by cast
inr 2 fraudulent vote and then wink at the
boss's treating the whole machinery for getting
81 the honest expression OF the popular VIII
ss an empty farce:
The McCarren bill is a logical Development OF
the primary system. The state undertook the
regulation Of primaries in order TO insure TO
majority Of the party voters their vested right
10 choose their own representatives and govern
their own parties. The legislation upon the
s+afute books falls short of securing this re-
suit because party bosses and party conventions
are not under sufficient legal compulsion 10
abide by the result Of the official primaries
After the delegate has been elected, with all the
official care and supervision with which Offices
are filled AT the general elections in November,
the boss is at liberty TO trump up a contest ana
deny him his seat as the representative OF his
locality in the councils Of his party. II Is only
a degree less absurd than if some eXtrA-iegal
body had the authority on It's own caprice 10
refuse their offices 10 men elected al the gen
er=l election.
IL is essential 10 our system that parties, Ike
the government Itself shall be in their orgHnIz

the right of localities and local majortles TO

Man Allows Use Of Water From

Abram Snyder VIII Have TO Answer
Serious Charges Before Justice
Felker.


A warrant was sworn out Tuesday
evening By DR.. G. J. 2. Sponseller, of
the board Of health, for the arrest of
Abram Snyder. charged with defying
the order of the health board in a
specific case.
Recently the board Of health placed
quarantine on we'll on snyders
premises, corner OF Virginia avenue
and Addition street, because the well
was polluted with germs Of typhoid
fever, as a recent analysis showed.
Snyder is charged with breaking this
quarantine established by the health
board, as well as the order restrain
ing him from selling milk from his
cows that drink from the same We'll
It is charged that Snyder continues
to use water from the polluted we'll
and allows his neighbors to 10 like
wise, besides continuing to sell milk
from his cows that drink water from
the same we'll. The result is that there
are now six cases of typhoid fever in
that section of town, all directly
traceable to the consumption of water
from Snyders wei, it Is alleged.
But the climax was reached when
the health authorities learned that
this man. Abe Snyder. was making
preparations to introduce water into
his tenement houses out on the boom.

ed we'll in defiance Of the quarantine.
Snyder will have hearing before
Justice Felker in the court house on
Thursday at p. m. AS there is much
indignation felt towards the fellow for
his gross vocation of law civil and
sanitary. the case will likely attract q
large crowd to the hearing, including
a big lot Of witnesses.
