FEWER ELECTIONS.

Some time since the Times suggest
ed the advisability Of SO amending the
constitution of the state that the
terms of the state officials should be
four years instead of two as is now
the case, in order that the public
might be relieved OF the trouble of
biennial elections. The advantages of
such change should be apparent.
Under the present primary election
law the campaign, for state offices be-
gins-in the openly the beginning Of
the year. The nominations ending in
June, six months of partisan agitation
Is experienced in which the public
mind is diverted from nearly every
thing except politics. Then follows
the campaign with the opposition par
ty in which new political feuds and
enmities are made. The press is fore
ed to devote large portions of its
space to presentation and discus
sion Of the political conditions and
is forced to forego discussion of 9TH
or things which are beneficial to the
public welfare.
The election over, the state legisla-
ture convenes within three months
and its doing, which are always large
ly political. absorb public attention
for an additional two months. All in
all the public mind is held incessant-
ly on politics and politicians for a
good fifteen months out OF every twen-
ty-four. Under such conditions men
in public positions are forced to de-
vote a large portion of their time to
the public lest their methods and
work, no matter how honest, be mis-
represented and misconstrued.
Nor is this all. The man in public
Office in state having biennial cleo
ticns. under the unwritten law, must
be candidate to succeed himself or
be considered a failure in Office. Con-
seQuently he devotes a. large portion
Of the last year of his term to secur-
ing a reelection. while the first year
Is required to familiarize himself with
his duties. His first term is therefore
lost In a measure, and his second one
Is often handicapped by the condi-
tons his second election has entailed,
II the term were four years instead
Of two, and especially If an ofacial
were ineligible to two terms In
succession. he would have three years
to devote entirely to his office and
the public service would be benefited
accordingly. The plan would ellmin-
ate the formation Of rings and would
give the man out Of ONCE an equal
standing with the one in ohlce.
The only loss which would como
from such a change would be the evil
which an incompetent official would
produce. 1t is true that some public
servants are In power too long when
the term is two years. But the cor
tainty Of longer torn would In time
educate the electorate to the impor-
lance Of wiser and more Intelligent
selection at the polls.

MAKING a Profit.

A party Of amateur pigeon shooters
some time ago arranged for a match,
and ordered 30 pigeons from dealer
in a neighboring town, says the Penny
Magazine. The shooting was of a
really wonderful character, but the
actual performances need not be de-
scribed in detail. The net result will
be gathered readily from the follow
ing note, which was subsequently re-
ceived from the dealer. 1t ran:
"Gentlemen-I beg sincerely to
thank you for your order. and to init
mate that shall be only too happy
to supply you with any number of
birds on future occasions of this sort.
The whole of the 80 birds, for which
you paid me, returned In safety, and,
moreover, brought with them a stray
pigeon. My price to your party hence
forth will be reduced"
