"Record's" Editorial Policy.
the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Congressional Record, considering
it's reputation as an accurate transcript
of the proceedings of Congress- has some
defects. 1t often contains verbatim re-
ports of speeches never delivered. and
lately the habit has been introduced of
cutting out remarks when the sense of the
House decides that they are improper.
Better let them stay in the Record and
permit the people to be the judges of their
propriety or improperly.

Burglary at Sunbury.

A mos. daring robbery was COM
mtted III Sunbury Sunday morn.
ing when {. S. Bigony's store was
entered and nearly FIVE hundred
dollars worth OF goods was stolen.
Included in the rich haul made
by the burglars we're sixty revolv-
ers, one-half dozen guns, rifles
knives and razors. 1t is thought
that the burglars had a carriage, as
about the hour of midnight some
one saw a carriage in the vicinity
of the store that was robbed. La
ter carriage answering the same
description vas seen leaving town
by the Shamokin road.
What makes the robbery an es.
pecially bold one is the fact that
the revolvers stolen were removed
from the front part OF the store
within ten feet of the glass from,
where the robbers were clearly il
view from the street.
The goods stolen are valued a
from $3.50 to $500.

The Potato Crop for 1908.
100000 Bushels Less.rhan Preceding Year
-Qtalty Not Up To Standard.

The potato crop for 1908 is said
to be 264, 600. 600 bushels 10000
less than the year preceding. while
the quality of the yield is far be-
low the previous year. If The po-
tatoes were all good the quantity
will not supply the home demand,
since it is only about three bushels
per capita, and out of that seed
must come for the next crop. This
will mean high prices for one of the
staple foods of the workingman, as
the tariff on potatoes is SO high as
to permit the home farmers and re-
tailers to charge a big price for
their product, and prevent compe-
tition No other country report
ing the potato crop makes such a
poor showing as the United States,
only about eighty bushels to the
acre, against 200 and more bushels
by Great Britain, Germany and
other countries. 1t is strange that
we do not grow enough potatoes to
supply Our home demand. The
cause of this small yield which
seems to be growing smaller from
year to year, is said to be due
more 70 planting poor seed than to
any other one cause. The smaller
yield in 1908 than 1907 was due to
more unfavorable season, but the
steadily declining yield must be
due to other than climatic coudi-
tions, and seed seems to be the most
probable cause. Doubtless it is
true that seed is planted which is
not desirable for other uses, when,
in fact, the best specimens should
be planted. Not the largest, but
the smoothest, shapeliest and most
nearly ideal specimens. 1t is
doubtless true that those who are
now growing good crops of pota-
toes do not careto see all others do
ing the same, being satisfied with
conditions as they are. But "the
greatest good to the greatest num-
Der" is the sentiment which shohld
prevail.

Looking After County Property.

| notice in the COLUMBIAN that
county commissioners have appor-
toned to each one of the board a
certain part Of the county to be
looked after so far as bridges and
other property are concerned.
That is undoubtedly most nee
essary thing to be done; and now if
a report in writing, of all the
bridges, where, of what kind and
condition is made, so that in min
ute, it can be seen III the commits
sioners Office, much good may be
accomplished. Because it was no
b0ay'S business nOb0ay attended to
it; and the public property went to
decay; "A stitch in time saves
nine," and "a penny saved is two
pence earned"
The public expenses are increas-
ing, nee essarily and more care is re-
quired in the management of the
business. More taxes are levied,
more roads and bridges are re-
quired for public convenience; and
no complaint will be made when
the public work is done by those
elected to the office.
ALPHA BETA.
For several years past the work
of the commissioners has been di-
vided up in the same way as now.
