SEASON FOR VEGETABLES
MAY CLOSE WITHIN WEEK

Next week may witness the close OF
the season on string beans. tomatoes
and several other varieties OF summer
vegetables that are still reaching the
market. The first frost Of the season
has come and dealers say II means
summer vegetables will soon go.
Practically all summer vegetables
now on the market are OF home grown
supply. Beans and tomatoes have held
up remarkably we'll, and there is a
considerable demand for them. as their
quality is unusually good. The effect
Of frost is expected to cut down the
bulk OF supply rapidly.
All indications point to good sea-
son on pumpkins and squash. The
supply Of both is fairly large. and. so
far, the quality is proving satisfactory.
Shipments of pumpkins are getting TO
be liberal for the early season, and
the wholesale price has already drop

ELECTION LAW VIOLATIONS.

M r. John BARR, a we-lSnown resident
- of Georgetown has been convicted on
a charge of attempting to bribe voter at the
last election. The court imposeda fine upon
him, and in getting off with such a sentence he
is lucky, we think. He might have received
prison sentence
Mr.. Barr was once before convicted on this
charge. Through techncality he got a new
trial. Again the judges, and this time judges OF
a new bench have found him guilty. He was
defended by able lawyers. Everything that
could be done was done in his behalf. We do
not therefore, see that his friends have any cause
for complaint that he has not been treated fairly,
if they should so complain.
Several important lessons are to be learned
from this trial 1t should be learned that the
provisions of our constitution regarding the use
OF money at elections or its attempted use, IS
not something 20 be laughed at or triilcd with.
1t is a very real provision, hard perhaps to Sc
cure conviction under, but nevertheless the man
who ignores it is likely to suffer the penalty. He
who PLAYS with FIRE IS liable to be burned
A dozen NAV escape because of complications
that surround such cases, but now and then some
one will be convicted, some one will pay the
penalty and all the political influence that he
can muster will not save him.
The trouble has been that the use Of money
at elcctions-a detestabie and low thing-has
not been regarded with disfavor in certain parts
Of the state It has been common, and both
parties have engaged in the practice True mon
ev was not always offered, but other brbes were
o1ven Years ago during the reign OF rum IN
Kent and Sussex Democratic politics, drinks
were a favorite method of influencing votes
Then came cash. Both parties have bought
votes
But let that pass. The important thing is that
politicians must get 1t into their heads that u
they use money illegally, they arc likely TO be
be punished They have had ample and sufh-
cicnt warning In number of cases in this
state during the last few years persons who
have relied upon political pulls to bring them
out Of difficulty have found that they were build
ING on foundations OF sand. Back alley and Sc
cret talk or. open boastng does not affect courts
1t NAV be remarked that in such cases the
Judges are loath to convict. The evidence has
10 be clear and convincing. We presume thai
there is no duty so unpleasant TO our judges as
that of sitting as a jury in such cases as tina
OF Mr.. Barr. They have one consolation how
ever, that is, the politicians will finally realize
that violating the election law is serious busi
ness, and the cases Of such violation will be
come fewer and fewer because men will not b'
willing to be drawn into the meshes of th'
courts.

The Exeoution Of Ferrsr.

New York World.
In accordance with the sentence OF the
secret court-martial Prof. Ferrer was
shot yesterday. Appeals TO King Alfonso
for clemency proved fruitless. Whether
Ferrer was merely "a revolutionary ideal
ist," as some Of his friends insist, OF an
Anarchist, in the minds OF those who
have followed the case grave doubts exist
whether he was given fair trial on the
charge OF being the principal instigator
of the Barcelona riots. on evidence not
known TO the world the Spanish Govern
ment has taken one mans life. and as
a result It has centred upon King Alfonso
the hatred OF thousands Of his subjects
and the hostility OF many foreigners.
Aside from all questions Of law and JUS
tice, as a measure Of public safety was it
wise? Was the life OF one man worth the
political consequences that threatens?

TAFT NOT suPERsTITIous.

r VIDENTLY the Hon. William II. Taft has
- been paying little attention to the obser-
vations Of one of his former instructors, Profess
sor William G. Summer, of Yale. Not long
since DR.. Summer professed TO see in the study
OF the occult spiritualism and the like a revival
OF witchery, and he believes that witchery will
soon again be hourishing. 1t has never died out
completely in Berks, county, Pa. Taft, however,
IS not believer in such things. Perhaps he
laughs too much and enjoys good humor.
At any rate Taft dehed tradition and witch
cry the other day when in Arizona he drank OF
the waters of Pessayamapai River. The Indian
tradition says that anyone drinking of the water
can never again tell the truth and must always
remain in Arizona. But one of the local COM
mitteemen modified the legend by telling Mr..
Taft that the water if taken from a certain point
in the river, would make a man who drank Of it
always tell the truth. We do not suppose that
it would have made much difference TO the
President which tradition is correct
When former President Roosevelt hears Of il
he may declare that the members OF his former
Ananias Club always drank Passayamapai
water.

Patriotic wives Of ip.tr,ot..

|, Editor National Tribune: The letter
that you published in The National
Tribune Of Dec. "a. ms ethe editorial
column, entitled "a Grateful Widow"
touched my heart. q It sook me back
to my boyhood days, whesf, being raised
on a farm, I knew those people. Aunt
Polly, Aunt Rachel, Aunt Susan, Aunt
Mary, etc.-all honest. upright, home
loving, loyal women. And when I as
q boy Of II enlisted In the 2sth Ohio
they gave me their heartfelt blessings.
All had sent husbands, brothers ana
sons to the front, simple. honest, noble,
loving, charitable souls, sending their
loved ones to the war IN defense of
their country and the Flag. They re-
mained at home on the old farm to do
the plowing and planting, to feed the
pigs and milk the cows, while their
loved ones were at the front fighting
the battles for the country. I feel that
these dear souls should receive Just as
much honor and praise and recogni-
ton from a grateful country and peo-
pie as Grant or Sherman or Sheridan
or any other patriotic leader of the
army or the Nation. They did what
they could for the country They sacri-
feed their all, and no one, altho they
had the ability and opportunity to do
great things, did more than these poor,
simple and honest women. God bless
them. 1t is just such women as this,
with their husbands. sons and daugh-
ters, that makes our country what 1t is,
the greatest country on earth.-B. H.
