Shall Republicans Vote in Primary
Editor Herald How would it do
to eliminate party lines this Spring,
and let the Republicans vote at the
primary? And if ony of them are
capable of filling the position as
Councilman, let them be voted for
as any one else. Some of them own
property here and l am quite sure
they all have the interest OF their
town at heart Judging from what
we see in the papers. the time is
near at hand when every man shoult
lay aside strife of every kind, and
let us all go to work for the best
interest of this community
When it comes to municipal Of
ficers, one party is hopelessly in the
minority. Every citizen ought to
have a voice in the government. l
hope the leaders will look at this
in the true sense OF justice and let
these people have the privilege to
participate in this very important
election.

| Of Halowell, Master of the Schooner
Holliswood,
Maple street home, having gone there
to look after the workmen, who We're
engaged in baleing the summers yield
of hay from the farm This work was
in progress and Notwithstanding the
great suspense under which Mrs. Walls
is living she could do nothing other
than to look after the affairs which
have always had her attention in the
absence of her husband.
Mrs. Walls is hoping almost against
hope that some better tidings may
reach her from the scene of the dis
aster. She was in receipt of a letter
Tuesday from Pendleton Bros. of New
York, owner of the wrecked schooner,
telling her of every effort being made
to locate her husband
The story told is that the Hollis
wood, laden with lumber from New
Orleans bound for New York was
caught in the storm in mid Atlantic
Oct. 13. A heavy battle against the
seas pouring over her was fought
heroically for three days, during which
time much of the lumber was thrown
overheard. The storm continuing and
the crew beginning to despair of their
lives, Capt. Walls ordered the fore
mast to be cut down. About this time
the steamship Harold hove in sight
and sent a boat to take the men off.
The HoliiswOod was half filled with
water when the rescue was made.
The captain was importuned by his
faithful crew to abandon the vessel
but he cried in answer: "I'n stick to
her boys as the last sailor bade him
goodbye and took to the life boat to
be placed on board the Harold which
landed them last Monday at Perth
Amboy, n. j.
The letter from Pendleton Bros,
speaks in highly complimentary terms
of Capt. Walls. but expresses regret
that he should have defended the craft
at the risk Of Lis valuable life. The
owners are using every effort within
their power to find the Capt. if he is
still alive, having secured the ser
vices of a United States revenue cut
ter.
Capt. Walls about three years ago
nearly lost his life in a storm at sea
when the schooner, Arthur G. Wade,
of which he was commander and part
owner, was sunk. He said then that
if he was ever caught in another such
storm he would not abandon the ship
1t has been over e. year since the
Captain was in Hallowell. but last
summer Mrs. Walls met her husband
in Philadelphia and together they en-
joyed an extended vacation travelling
through the states.

Holliswood which shows her entering

EIPREsslGE AND RAILROADS

The New York Evening Post is
looked upon as a conservative
journal. says the Sacramento Union.
, 1t has very large constituency
among the business men and
financiers Of New York and the
east, and which represents: above
everything else the conservative
judgement Of the financial world.
The utterances Of such q paper
naturally have particular weight
when it discusses subjects relating
to business and finance, and when
1t discusses it makes suggestions
for radical charges or advocates
the adoption Of new methods in
railroading or financiering, its
views are deserving of special con-
alteration and may be considered
as more or less ex-cathedra from
the standpoint of thigh finance"
The Post suggests that the
solution Of the present discussion
between the shippers and the rail-
roads about the raising of freight
rates, and the cost of transportation
and the increase in wages lies in
improved methods Of doing
business on the part of the railroads
and 1t names as one Of the i'm
provements that might be made
the handling of the express bust
ness of the country by the railroads
instead Of by independent COM
panies. The Post points out that
the companies reap an enormous
profit out Of the business and that
all Of that profit, in dividends as
high as 200 per cent and more,
really comes out of the railroads.
II the roads handled their own
express business, the Post believes
that they would not only not need
to raise freight rates butthat they
might even lower them. The Post
pro ceeds to point out that the
express companies have done much
to antagonize public opinion by
their arbitrary charges and con-
duct. The express companies have
q rule limiting the loss Of any
article to $50, and if NOR e is
demanded it mean a law suit. The
railroad companies, however. pay
for all losses as rule promptly,
and as q result shippers prefer to
deal with the railroads whenever
possible.
The Post. continuing its attack
on the express companies. says one
OF them has had no election of
stockholders for years. and that
their stock is held by few men,
the minor stockholders being
unable to learn anything about
either the receipts or expenditures
OF the company. 1t says, therefore,
that It Is evident that the inside
workings of the companies will not
stand inspection and It suggests
that the railroads coulda not only
take over the business without
difficulty but that public opinion
would be behind them and wo uld
lend its approval
